#this became a bit of a rant sorry anon

[greencheekconure27]

"They like to gather in big mobs, the members of which are only barely capable of independent thought and have the average knowledge and maturity levels of a particularly poorly educated 15yo.

* I would like to apologize to sheep here. Good USEFUL animals, unlike tankies.

** also my apologies to parrots, who are both much smarter and more independent."

Might as well apologize to Tara Westover and everyone in her position too then. Who as a teenager deliberately denied an education by an abusive fundie family, still had more brains, moral values, heart, decency, and common sense than these adult tankies ever will.

People who lack education/have it denied to them aren't just an insult for bad people. But are a very real group who get harmed, and then mocked and used as an easy scapegoat by the world for having been harmed.

Ok, anon hindsight I agree that that has been somewhat in poor taste on my part, and for that, I sincerely apologize. Lack of education in itself is not an insult, and neither is being young.(I admit I have no idea who Tara Westover is but am willing to apologize to her as well). I am sorry.

That said, please allow me to explain myself for a sec, for clarity's sake.

I am not saying that they ARE poorly educated teenagers. Frankly if they were this post would never have been made.I am saying that these grown-ass adults, with full access to the internet and various other sources of information(and often in possession of college degrees), somehow manage to achieve fantastic levels of willful ignorance.

Now, ignorance in and by itself is not a moral failing either.WILLFUL ignorance however is, especially when they claim to be experts on the subject. As is harassing and insulting people who tell them they're wrong.On top of that, their responses are incredibly childish. Imagine correcting someone on basic facts and their response is 50 comments that just say "faggot".Would you be surprised to find out that it was a 30yo and not just some teen being edgy? Because I was.So excuse me for going "What are you, a child?!?" here for a moment.

These are, as far as I can tell from their bios, not disadvantaged children who have been indoctrinated and denied a normal education, so I see no excuse for this combination of immaturity, viciousness, and lack of basic research.

I am just very, very tired.

[dootznbootz]

allow yourself to be a little arrogant! if you were to claim that you know more than most people about a specific character from greek mythology, which character would it be?

*puts on the hat of arrogance so I can take it off right afterward*

Penelope 😅 😂

Like most of what we find of her is in the Odyssey, and even then, in my opinion, Homer I almost feel purposefully makes her a bit of an enigma. As we're in Odysseus' "POV" most of the time, and it's kind of a "She tricks the trickster, she tricks the narrator, she tricks the suitors, she tricks the reader, etc."

But even with this lil bit of "sneakiness" with her, we still get so many hints of her character and who she is and I adore it 🥹

Even then she has a lot of background lore that is just SOOOO much fun to play with. Her being of Naiad descent (whether 50-75% depending on what myths you go with), her many brothers and one sister, Her dad being a racer, her being cousins with Helen, Castor, Pollux, Clytemnestra Sparta itself, And that's just background lore!!!! There's so much to play with and that makes it so fun!

And well, like, I KNOW I'm the reason for a big boom of "Water Wife" lol 😅 Were there "Naiad Penelopes" before I came back on Tumblr? YES! :D Absolutely! I'm definitely NOT the first "Naiad Penelope" person!

But I DID create "Water Wife" AND I know I help cause more Water Pennys to be in the world >:3 Even if folks weren't directly inspired by me, they probably got it from someone else who was! :3 and I know my headcanons are often being used by others.

*The hat of arrogance droops a lil on my head so it becomes a lil bit of the sad arrogance hat*

I sometimes don't really like that I'm like, "the biggest, loudest Penelope fan", you know? ;~;

I know I'm not the only Penelope fan <3 I know there are others. Many lovely fans and creators :3 This isn't to negate them and the love and works. <3

But in fandom in general, In some ways, I...I'm a lil sad that like, a lot of the info that some people have on her in the fandom I know is because of me 😓 Like...Why did it take someone else to be a nerd about her for others to be a nerd about her, you know?

Like, it makes me happy that people are finally giving her love and seeing a lot more fics and headcanons with her as a focal point but like, I'm sad feeling like I started it in fandom (again, Penelope HAS been praised throughout the ages after all) recently. Why did it take ME to get others so nuts about her? Why do I see most folks caring about her simply because Odysseus and Telemachus do?

It's like, there are many Odysseus bloggers, there are a few Telemachus bloggers (Hi! :D ), but there are few, (if really many others) blogs that are like "most stuff I do is Penelope, Odysseus and others are there sometimes but It's mostly Penelope in here".

(granted I have not really...looked too much recently as it started making me sad to think about her not getting a lot of love) I am also very picky. I won't stand for cardboard Penelope who is only there to prop up her husband and/or thinks he "cheated" or have Odysseus cheat. Penelope, and women in general, are not props for their husbands/sons.)

As like, I got most of my info FROM the Odyssey AND just simply looking stuff up about her and Sparta and her family. And so I get this lil feeling of "...We both read the same book, why did it take me pointing out that Penelope is constantly wishing violence on the suitors for people to know that she does that? Why did you think that Penelope didn't come up with the archery contest when it explicitly says she did?"

And it's not like, even a feeling of "gatekeeping" or wanting to be like "You're a Penelope fan, huh? Well then tell me the names of all her possible brothers? >:(" It's more like a

Me: "I love Penelope!" Person:"YEs! I love Penelope too!" Me: "Yippee! Can you tell me about your Penelope? :D I love all Penelopes! I wanna talk about her!" Person: "Well, she's more quiet and reserved but that's her secret >:3 she strikes when you least expect it!" Me: "YES!!! That's so fun! I have her 'Likeminded' with Odysseus and she's silly, reckless, hotheaded just like he is :D Can you tell me some headcanons about her? What do you have for her childhood? I'm really excited!" Person: "Oh I don't have much for her childhood actually." Me: "That's okay! Do you wanna brainstorm together? Maybe bounce some ideas so you can get some down?" Person: "Oh no, that's okay. I've got all I need,as I really only have her when she meets Odysseus." Me: "o-oh okay.:'D "

As like...I dunno. When you love a character, you wanna meet others who also will ramble nonstop about them too, you know?

I sometimes feel like, idk, some folks are like "Think up Penelope headcanons for us! :D " especially as like... I've had that whole "Oh no, I've got all I need!" experience more than once :')

Ngl, like, part of the reason I go so "apeshit" about her is yeah, because I am, but also like, in hope more people will join me? Which yeah! People have! And that makes me happy!

But even then, I just... I DO like this joke, don't get me wrong, but with how whenever I fangirl about her, people are like, "Found Odysseus" and yippee! :D I think it's fun to be called Odysseus!

But also like...Why does it still tie back to him? Why is it still about Odysseus? (even my own tag of "Shot by Odysseus" is still technically about him! (I'm keeping it because I'm stupid but still)) Why aren't Odysseus fans called "Penelope" then? She loves him just as much, right?

I think there's more "OdyPen fans" than there are Penelope fans. Because most Penelope stuff HAS to do with Odysseus, and it's usually like, STILL centered around him. Which is really weird to me, as I don't know how you can be a big Odysseus fan without being an equally big Penelope fan. They are way way too intertwined to not be equally talked/headcanoned/etc. about in my opinion. They're like the same person imo in a way lol.

In my opinion, you cannot bring up Odysseus without mentioning Penelope, you cannot bring up Penelope without mentioning Odysseus.

It's literally like that in the Odyssey. (Explain that part of Homer's passage here.)

...So why are there so many fics with Odysseus doing so much without Penelope, and yet, very few Penelope fics that don't have much of anything to do with Odysseus?

*takes off hat of arrogance*

And like...I'm a goober just like every other fan, you know? I'm not some "mastermind". All my "good" headcanons are simply loving her and thinking about her often. It's...not hard to love a character. I just rotate her around a lot. :3

sleep deprived anon,*runs out of the ocean*

"I LIIIIIVVEED" (exams were not nice this year )

Now,

Do you think bee subconsciously has something akin to a Spidey sense that helps him in battles? If yes then just imagine that sense starting to tell him when Orion(and later all the miners in his sector) are doing something stupid? Or in some form of danger in general.

Like-

______________

Orion and a reluctant D-16: *doing something stupid miles away*

B-127 : 'why do I feel like someone I know is about to die...? Cliff is too tired to go cliff jumping right no- OH SCRAP DPAX '

______________

B-127 just gets that random sensation creeping all over his frame after knowing Orion and D-16 for only a while and he's gotten used to it and now knows what it means.

But then all the other miners come into the picture. After covering up for them and accidentally gaining their trust,I can just imagine the amount of times that sense of his would go off. but he's gotten used to it as well,and mostly ignores it. Only when that tingling gets more intense does he know that something is actually wrong.

Though there were times where he ignores it,as it turns out that sense of his overreacts when he gets stressed or overstimulated.

He doesn't ignore it anymore though. The last time he did, Sentinel got ripped in half,his mentor ended up in jail, Orion and D-16 Optimus and Megatron are enemies instead of lo- friends,and at the end of all that chaos he also finds out that Jazz got one of his legs ripped of in a cave-in and nearly died. So yeah,he now gets very stressed if he isn't able to see what's setting his Spidey sense off.

Oof that became a bit of a rant. Hope you like this ask!

Sorry if there's any typos or if you have a hard time reading this as my device is very faulty at the moment.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!

It's great to see you and once again you came up with a brain-breaking idea, I love it!

[thepenguinweeb]

rewatching part four, you say…

*slams metaphorical credit card on table* rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan rohan please i am normal and sane about the manga artist

anyways perchance maybe reader is an assorted background stand user in morioh™️, and Jotaro or Joskue or whomever pair them up to look for things/people that stick out around the town (post shigechi death). Rohan is all like “that’s stupid, I can’t use my stand on every single citizen of morioh” only to be told “that’s fine, y/n can help narrow down the search”

maybe reader with a stand that lets them see auras or something similar. Neither knows what the others stand is or does and they kinda make idle banter about it as they go about the streets searching.

Stuff like “how are you supposed to help narrow this down” “stfu i’ll just tell you who looks suspicious, what are you even gonna do when I do though?” “i don’t want to tell you wtf” and “they wouldn’t have put us together if our stands weren’t benificial” and “you know, if i really wanted, I could just get the information myself (heavens door go brrr) but Im being kind and trying this new thing called ‘consent’”

Chance for comedy bc obviously they’re not gonna find bbg yoshikage, definitely could read one person with a negative vibe and be so shocked/discouraged by what they find after hours of walking that they turn in for the night. Rohan walks reader home, could be flirty as they actually talk about how terrifying heavens door could be (ie: koichi kidnapping)

if you go with the aura thing, maybe also a conversation about what his looks like and what readers first reaction to it was. talking about how well they compliment each other and that it’s no shock they were paired up for the search

idk, idc, go nuts man. the manga artist is hot and i’m not ashamed to admit that. need him. sorry this is so long and informal 😭

[ ♡ Kishibe Rohan x reader ]

[ ♡ When Jotaro pairs you up with an unfamiliar man as your partner to search for clues about a killer living in Morioh, you find an unlikely connection despite his.. less than friendly demeanor. ]

[ ♡ Requested by: anon !! <3 ]

[ ♡ A/N: YES YES I LOVE ROHAN THANK YOU !! DW about the long ask, I cannot emphasize how much I love when people rant in my inbox about their sillies. Anyway I loved this concept smm I hope I did your idea justice !! I kinda might have gone a bit overboard lol I usually don't write this much ]

[ ♡ Word count: 2k ! ]

Divider by @/cafekitsune !!

You've lived in the quiet town that is Morioh since your childhood. Your life, up to this point had been quite average, to say the least...

Until now, that is.

A few months ago, you'd been shot with a mysterious arrow, which seemed to awaken some kind of strange power within you.

You'd always been good at judging people's characters. It's what being a chronic people-watcher does to a person. Perhaps that's why you could see people's "auras" since the arrow incident.

To be quite honest with yourself, you didn't think much of it. It came in handy a few times, but life went on as normal.

But it seemed life had other plans for you, as not long after your discovery of these powers, you met a man, Kujo Jotaro.

Well.. not so much as met. More like, watched for a few days by him because he caught you using your Stand in public and thought you were an enemy.

But, you've cleared your name since then and became loosely accquainted with a group of people who were all Stand users, much like yourself.

All was well in Morioh.. you thought so, anyway.

Oh, but poor Shigechi.

It was Josuke who informed you of his death. You were just as struck as everyone else, despite not knowing the boy personally.

He didn't deserve to die.

And so, an investigation began. Clearly, there was something going on in Morioh, way bigger scale than what the group initially expected.

But nothing came back. You asked about it every day, to see if anyone had any news, but nothing. All you could be sure about was the fact that a killer was lurking in Morioh.. who was, also, most definitely a Stand user.

Just then, you got a call from Jotaro. He told you to meet him at a certain address. And don't be late.

You honestly didn't know what to expect. Despite its unlikeliness, deep down you hoped it was only good news - that they somehow found the killer and had him arrested, so Morioh would return to normal.

That, of course, wasn't the case.

You arrived at the location quite soon, as it was not too far from your own home. The address took you to a nice-looking house, though you weren't exactly sure why Jotaro wanted to meet you at a random house.

You spotted Jotaro immediately. Not a hard task, considering the man was 190 cm and wore a huge white coat at all times.

But then, next to him was another man, unknown to you. You know you've seen his face before.. more than once, too. Yet you still couldn't put it together..

"Y/N. Good. You're here." Jotaro nodded once you approached.

"Right. So, uh.." you made a point to glance at the other man, who you noticed was staring at you trough a sharp gaze.

"Kishibe Rohan." He extended his hand toward you, his eyes almost piercing trough your soul with the intensity. You had to wonder if he was always like that, or if he just didn't trust you.. perhaps both.

"Y/N L/N.." you took his hand for an awkward handshake. Then, something seemed to click in your mind. "Wait- Kishibe Rohan. Like, the mangaka?"

"That would be me, yes."

In hindsight.. Koichi did mention something in passing about knowing Kishibe Rohan, 'the greatest mangaka alive' personally..

You smiled, hoping some banter would eventually ease him up. But just as you were about to reply, Jotaro cut you off.

"The reason you're here," he began, "is because I have a job for you both."

Both you and Rohan raised an eyebrow at that.

"You have been informed of all that has happened recently, correct?"

You nodded in confirmation.

"I want you to work together to find anyone or anything suspicious. Whatever you can find. At this point, anything could be a clue."

A small silence filled the air as you stared at the tall man. You weren't against the idea of working together with Rohan, even if you didn't know him too well. The mangaka, however..

"You must be joking, Jotaro." He crossed his arms as he turned his head to look at the other man. "Surely you don't expect me to use my Stand on everyone in Morioh?"

"Of course not," Jotaro replied in his usual tone. "That's what Y/N is here for."

You could almost feel yourself wanting to sink into the ground at the harsh glance Rohan gave you.

But, after a few minutes of convincing, he eventually was dragged out by Jotaro agreed.

An extremely awkward silence hung about as the two of you trekked trough the streets. You kept your Stand activated at all times, but so far nobody had caught your attention. Though.. you had to admit, Rohan's aura was quite unique. Perhaps it was the simple fact that he was a Stand user, but his aura was more.. powerful, more confident, more defining than the average person.

"So." It was him who broke the silence first. "How, exactly, are you supposed to be of any help?"

You glanced at him, not appreciating his condescending tone. "It's simple. I'll tell you who's suspicious and who's not." You raised an eyebrow. "And what are you supposed to be doing?"

The man scoffed in response. "As if I would tell you about my Stand."

You rolled your eyes at his attitude. "Jotaro paired us up for a reason." Your lips curved into a small grin. "What, are you this insecure about your abilities?"

Rohan glared at you, even more intensely than before. He gave you the kind of look that told you if consequences weren't a thing, he'd have strangled you by now.

"Shut your mouth," he replied. "I don't need you for this job, you know. I could always do it on my own. You should be grateful you even have this opportunity."

You let out a long sigh and clutched your temple. It would be a long day if it kept on going like this..

The sun was beginning to dip in the sky above you. You'd been wandering the streets of Morioh since the morning, and so far, nothing.

"Ughh.." you heard Rohan quietly groan beside you. "Are you sure your Stand works perfectly? You seriously haven't seen anything at all yet?"

You gave the man a pointed glare upon hearing his doubts. "Of course it works," you snapped back.

"Then how come we haven't found a single suspicious person yet? Morioh isn't such a big town." He sighed. "Maybe you should get better at judging people."

"Ah, yes, I should be more like you, huh? Be judgemental to everyone who I think is below me."

You could tell Rohan was about to clap back with some witty comment, but you suddenly stopped in your tracks, so he did the same.

You focused on a certain person whose aura was different from the rest.

"That one." You pointed a finger at them.

Thankfully, for once Rohan decided not to be a pain in the ass and actually cooperate. As soon as you pointed the person out, he summoned his own Stand.. it was smaller than you expected from someone with an aura like his, but alas.

"Heaven's door!"

Rohan, with a simple drawing, somehow knocked the person out.. and turned their body into a book?

Definitely looked weird and gross.

"..that's your Stand?"

"Shut it."

Rohan began to flip trough the pages, his expression less and less positive with each passing paragraph.

After a couple minutes, he let out a long, defeated sigh. "Definitely not who we're looking for."

"Are you gonna let me read it too, or..."

The man rolled his eyes and let you have a look. But, to your disappointment, he was right. There was nothing noteworthy about them, there was no chance they were the killer.

You let out a sigh aswell and stepped back. You saw Rohan briefly scribble something into the book, then close it up.

"Let's go," he muttered. "We've been wandering for long enough. We can just tell Jotaro we haven't found anything."

You nodded in defeat and followed behind him as the two of you walked back toward his house.

"Well.. now that you know what my Stand does, it's only fair you tell me about yours too." Rohan spoke on your way back. "Isn't that right?"

"I suppose.." you replied. Even though you were reluctant to share at first, in a strange way, the two of you seemed to bond trough the day, even if you kept insulting and hating on each other.

"My Stand is called [Stand name]. It basically allows me to see people's auras, and get a feeling of their character," you explained.

"Hm.. I see." He was quiet for a while, most likely deep in thought. "So, what about mine?"

You tilted your head to the side. "You want to know what your aura is like?"

He nodded.

"Well, it's.. bold, powerful. Definitely stands out. It's proud and shameless. Like you."

You didn't even notice the small smile that grew on your face while you spoke. But Rohan definitely did, which only gave him an ego boost, it seemed.

"Is that so?" He questioned.

You nodded in response. "It was a little intimidating at first, to be honest," you muttered. "But you're not so scary. Just.. annoying."

He huffed at your answer and rolled his eyes in a dramatic motion, not missing the way you giggled at it.

"Heaven's Door can be frightening, I'll have you know," he replied, almost sounding defensive.

"Hm, well.. I guess it is pretty horrible to have your memories read, or taken out, or altered.." you pondered on that for a moment. "Your Stand is too powerful."

Rohan just grinned, not at all insulted. "Only the best for the best."

You stifled another sigh at his arrogant behaviour. You've gotten used to it by the course of that day.

"But.." he continued, his tone changing to a more serious one again. "I do see why Jotaro paired us up now." He looked at you. "Our Stands do work nicely with each other. Wouldn't you agree?"

You gave him a smile and nodded. "Yeah. In an investigation like this, especially."

Soon, the two of you arrived back to his home. It was dark by then, but you didn't mind.

"Well, today was.." you began,

"Exhausting," Rohan finished the sentence for you. "Horrible and exhausting."

"Yeah.. that." You chuckled. "But.. honestly, it was better than I expected." You tapped your chin. "Could've been worse.. especially since you were involved."

He narrowed his eyes at you. "Hey. What's that supposed to mean?"

"Pfft.." you stifled another chuckle. "I'll let you figure it out by yourself. Since you're so smart."

Rohan just glared at you in silence for a moment before shaking his head and giving up. "You're hopeless."

Your grin widened in amusement. Oh, was it easy to rile the poor man up.. you didn't feel too bad about it though.

Suddenly, he took out his notebook and wrote down something. He tore the page out and handed it to you without a word. Taking one look at it, you could tell clearly it was a phone number.

"We should keep in touch during the investigation," he said. "I don't believe you have my phone number yet."

"Now I do," you said with a smile. "Thank you."

He simply hummed in reply and muttered a barely audible 'no problem'.

"You better head home now," he told you. "I've seen too much of your face for today."

You wanted to take the insult to heart, but all you could do was giggle at it. "As if that was a problem."

"Get out."

"You're no fun.." you complained, but you did as he wished and turned around. "I'll call you if I find out anything, yeah?"

"Right," Rohan agreed. "Same goes for me."

You waved at each other and parted ways. The night suddenly felt a lot colder and more quiet without Rohan's annoying, yet admittedly somehow endearing presence.

The day might've been way too long, and not even successful. But hey. At least you made a connection with someone.

[babyjinsu]

can u pls do smth about toxic bf seunghan?? hes sweet and gentlemanly. treats you like a princess but i imagine him to be a bit controlling and pushy tbh.. and maybe he doesn't realize it but he doesn't stop until he gets his way sometimes. just flat out spoiled and needy for your affection

u guys i just rewatched weak hero and i cant stress it enough how the bully (kim su-gyeom) looks SO much like seunghan like ik im not tripping cause i asked my mom and all n shes like ??? highkey.

anyway he’s not a bully here hehe i’m sorry for taking so long!! ty anon n ilysm pls dont hate me mwa ;( i fear there’s nothing more i love than feedism and toxic bf tropes so here u go <33

cw toxic seunghan, manipulative, isolation, body mentioned (?) seunghan commented one thing about your body proportion

you don’t how it started and when it began. 

when you first met seunghan, he was the most wonderful, amazing, breathtaking person you had ever encountered. he was so gentle with his words and touch, knew just the right things to say, the right moment to interfere, to comfort. seunghan treated you like you were the most precious thing in the world—he took off your shoes and socks for you and pressed his thumbs into the soles of your feet, attentively listening to your rants and problems. then he brushes your hair every night before going to bed, working through the knots while murmuring that his baby shouldn’t be tired…

he spoiled you rotten and doted on you in ways not even your parents ever had. he kissed your knuckles and temple like a prince out of a fairytale. it was sweet. seunghan and relationship was everything that you have ever dreamed of and more.

the first time seunghan asked you about your whereabouts, it felt thoughtful. he’s just looking out for you when he came unannounced to pick you up from dinner with your friends, even though you had to skip karaoke that night. 

but slowly it became a pattern. 

he’d cooed you into sharing your live location to him, whining, and murmuring sweet words when you have to leave the apartment. he’ll coax you into quitting your job everytime he gave your shoulders massage, telling you that your company is wearing you out… stress isn’t good for you… he makes more than enough to support the two of you for the next 200 years, what is there to worry? 

then comes your friends. the same group of friends seunghan never particularly adored. he tells you that they’re bad influences—you were never rude, never raised your voice when you talked to him, never talked back—never do this, never do that. but the more you hang out with them girls, the more attitude you’re giving him. you feel bad—of course you do. seunghan means everything and more to you and when he said that you guys need to talk… you only realised the value of seunghan in your life because you swore you thought he was going to break up with you.

after a little bit more coaxing, push and pull, ‘toleration’, seunghan manages to get you to leave the groupchat. then soon, the friend group. he’s so subtle and sly with the things he said—you can’t wear that skirt because the colour doesn’t compliment your skin… the dress makes your body look a bit out of proportion… you don’t really suit heavy makeup! god created you naturally beauty, why cover it up? 

seunghan too, realises that he only gets easy on his feet when you do the things he wants you to do. the things that he likes you doing. he gets uneasy and he understands that you have other priorities and things to do in life but… surely they can’t be more important than him? surely visiting your parents every weekend isn’t necessary? phones are a thing… you can always videocall and text them. 

but he tells you that you barely spend the weekend with him! he has jobs and classes and the weekends are the only times where he can spend the whole day cuddling and getting comfortable with you. just stay a little longer. i won’t ask again—promise…

he’s so needy, all the time. so touchy. always has his hands up somewhere on your body, so affectionate, always kissing, nuzzling, pecking, groping into your flesh. seunghan never gets mad, never says no. but he never lets you win either.

isn’t this what you want?

hello angel! I was wondering if you could write a Dennis Reynolds x fem!reader one shot where basically, reader is apart of the gang and has been for a while. Surprisingly, one time when Dennis was really angry, she calmed him down. Everyone was shocked the first, but slowly overtime got used to it. Dennis always ignored the warm feeling in his chest when she calmed him, but when he went on a date and got really mad and the girl tried to calm him down, he got even more angry than realised he liked reader??

sorry if it’s confusing 😭🫶

calmed | dennis reynolds x reader

read part 2 here!!

authors note: HEYOOO still alive. thank u sm for this prompt anon! tbh it was a bit of a challenge and i struggled 😭 i always struggle to write for dennis. i hope i did this idea justice cuz i love it. also this is my first iasip fic im publishing yayayay please send more requests for it im sooo deep into it rn. ive got a dee fic in the works rn.

cw: average dennis insanity ofc, swearing, mentions of D.E.N.N.I.S ing girls so yk, mentions of sex.

fic under the cut!

You can recall the first time you ever saw Dennis freak out.

"Idiots! Fucking idiots all of them!" Dennis ranted in his usual methodic tone. The gang wasn't phased, this sort of Dennis rant was something they'd become accustomed to. For you - the latest addition the gang - you had never witnessed one of Dennis' outbursts. It was probably that empathic nature or yours that made you want to act, to console him. And you did. Despite the gang's protests, once they noticed you about to leap into action. They knew it was better to just let Dennis ride out the anger and come down again. But you reached out and touched his arm. The gang collectively held their breath, expecting Dennis to bark out some obscenities in response, but it never came. The feeling of your hand on him made him turn to face you, to look at you.

"Dennis, it's okay, we'll fix this, I promise."

And he calmed. And took a deep breath.

"You know what? You're right. I can fix this." Dennis exhaled. Everyone was shocked,

"What the fuck just happened." Mac said blankly. In the whole time they had known him, Dennis had never been able to be pacified from one of these insane outbursts.

But then it became frequent, because Dennis's raging was frequent. Every time he would begin ranting and raving, you were able to calm him down. It was a voice of serene amidst the chaos. It went on for years like this, as you became part of the gang.

You were usually there hanging out with the gang when things would go wrong, and you'd be able to solve it and calm him down. But today, that wasn't the case. Today, Dennis was on a date.

Dennis was in the process of getting this woman to sleep with him, his stock procedure. But the date had been falling apart. It first started with his suit getting ruined. After dressing himself up in a nice blazer and shirt outfit, it was massacred by spaghetti after Mac spilt it on top of Dennis. Mac was haphazardly carrying it through their shared kitchen and failed to notice him.

"Christ Mac, what the hell are you doing!"

But that was okay. He could manage. He would just have to change. And although this did delay him, he could still D.E.N.N.I.S this girl. He could just say he was late because he was helping some old lady cross the street or looking after a stray kitten.

After successfully making it out of the door, he began to drive to the date. A cute restaurant not too far from his apartment, a picturesque rendezvous. But this was stalled even further by the lack of parking spaces available. Dennis groaned at threw his head back against the car headrest. After circling the block for what felt like the 100th time, Dennis decided to just park further away and book it to the restaurant. He settled for a tucked away corner of the city. Sure, it was far, but hey, at least it was a space.

Finally, after running to the entrance of the restaurant, he saw his date waiting, arms folded.

"Dennis! There you are! What took you so long?Are you.. okay? You look at a little out of sorts." Cadence spoke.

"Sorry. Sorry. Some old hags cat was- was trying to cross the road. I had to run from the other side of town." Dennis panted. He didn't expect the journey to have made him so debilitated. 'Not a perfect excuse, either. I might have messed up the wording..' he thought.

Dennis and his date, Cadence finally entered the restaurant. Dennis regained most of his breath and approached the host.

"Reynolds, table for two." He told the host.

The host scanned their notebook with a pen and searching eyes.

"Sorry, sir, I don't see anything for Reynolds here. Are you sure you booked for this restaurant?" The host replied. They lacked any kind of care for the situation, replying in a detached tone. Most likely years of working customer service had drained them.

"Am I sure I booked for- do you think I'm some kind of bumbling buffoon? Of course I fucking did!" Dennis snarled. Seemingly the frustrations from the evening were overflowing and spilling out.

"What do you take me for some kind of idiot!?" Dennis continued to bawl.

At this point, his date was getting embarrassed of his uncontrolled emotions. Cadence leaned in and touched his forearm. And maybe if it wasn't Dennis Reynolds she had performed this action on, it could have worked and soothed him.

"Dennis its okay, we can go eat somewhere else if you want?"

Immediately Dennis shook her grip off him.

"If I want? Why would I want to eat somewhere else when I made a fucking reservation here. What I want is to eat here!" He snapped, tapping his finger on the hosts notebook.

"Dennis, it's okay. We will do whatever you want." Cadence tried again.

"What I want? What I want is... well, what would you know about fixing shit! You're just..! Well, you're not.. not." Oh. And that's when it hit him.

What Dennis wanted now was not a reservation at this pseudo-rich restaurant. And he knew he certainly didn't want Cadence to try and comfort him. Her words didn't seem to hold any mindfulness or meaning... but yours did. She wasn't you. What he wanted was you. That's all he ever wanted. Everything else he had been doing for was a pathetic search to fill the void. The women he was trying to do, D.E.N.N.I.S, the dates he'd go on, the sex he would have, it all meant nothing.

All he wanted was you. A pure undivided love and something he had never felt before. Dennis had an unprofound realisation that he liked someone. Something most come to grips with in adolescents. But for him, that realisation was something he had never had. It made his heart ache and burn. He needed to act. He needed to call you and spill his heart out. Because no one was like you, and that's all he could think about as he turned on his heel and left the restaurant.

Yuji can finally have his own Human Earthworm with blobkuna haha

it seems to me that gege is really fond of metaphors and stories within stories, so i took a closer look at the human earthworm series that was given to us in the anime/manga and i found a lot of interesting things that, as usual, i'm going to turn into a sukuita essay. (sorry for the overly long rant coming up, anon ;-;)

the basic plot of the 4th movie is that an ordinary man is transformed into a half-worm, half-human creature by an evil scientist/doctor. the human earthworm manages to escape but is forced to hide from the outside world as he will be perceived as a monster because of his appearance. however, his hiding place also enables him to meet an animal rights activist who ends up falling in love with him. she is a very understanding, compassionate, and empathetic person (remind you of someone?) and although she is scared of him at first, she looks past his "monstrous appearance" to find the true person within, and he is ultimately more human than other humans are.

in the end, though, he is killed by the girl's friends, who only see a monster. before they attack him, though, she tells them that they will be the monsters for killing him.

this theme of the humans being more monstrous than the actual monsters themselves, such as in literature like frankenstein by mary shelley or the metamorphosis by franz kafka, is a theme used to invert and reframe the popular myths and stories of monsters both looking abnormal and being unnatural.

so... what does this mean in relation to sukuna and yuuji's story?

i think it's pretty clear that sukuna was perceived as monstrous from his birth onward. in historical japan, during the heian era, there was a lot of conflict between different religions and very rapid changes in culture and lifestyles as people began breaking away from chinese influences. this era is sometimes called the "golden age of the imperial court" because of the court's growing power and cultural prosperity, and a lot of this power resided with the Fujiwara clan who had intermarried with the imperials. however, for the majority of ordinary people, this era saw a lot of suffering, hardships, low quality of life, and a high infant mortality rate.

sukuna was born into this starving world and would have died had he not eaten his twin in the womb. but he was unwanted and unwelcome from the moment he was born. i've written this before (so i'm sorry if it's getting a bit repetitive) but i think a lot of fans don't realize how much more demanding and cruel life was during this time (compared to modern day japan) in terms of life expectancy and quality. and those factors shaped sukuna into what he is, or at least make up a part of his becoming a monster.

in sukuna's own words his existence itself is anathema. the literal definition of this is "vehement disliking" and is a synonym of abhorrent. in religious usage it means "exclusion from the society of the faithful because of heresy" and it is described as being "cursed."

sukuna was perceived as being a curse before he even became cursed objects. whether or not he was born with extra limbs and/or lots of cursed energy, he was still seen as something unnatural and inhuman.

in other words, his unusual appearance and origin is monstrous to others. and i think he took this to heart and decided to just go with it, because he refuses to be seen as human by anyone even though he was in fact born one. he would rather be feared and despised as an imaginary demon than treated like a real person who was essentially cast out of the normal world.

but yuuji doesn't treat sukuna like just another monster in the end. instead, he offers him such selfless acceptance and honest empathy. and i don't think sukuna can take something like that.

sukuna is very aware of his own nature. he seems really proud to be an unfeeling, indifferent entity of chaos.

hm.....

lots of thoughts on this one panel alone. but i'll try to keep my ideas short. i believe that sukuna embraced what others saw as his "cursed nature" and became the strongest so he could be above all the hatred and ignorance that made others perceive him as being a monster. so he matched his actions to what people feared from him.

he became the monster so he could look down on those same people and also so he could isolate himself from ever being affected by those feelings again. after all, those others are nothing more than weak prey who shouldn't lament their own suffering, just like he shouldn't lament being seen as cursed from birth on. just like he claims he isn't lonely because only the most selfish can be on top.

but still. people want to destroy him for just being the role they more than likely forced him into. he never became more than what people saw him as, and yet they still hate him.

he claims to be above that hatred, but i think it might actually get to him. while else would he reflect so much on it during his fight with yuuji. yuuji, who he lived inside of, who he looks down on for being "weak" because he is far too emotional and caring for others, yet that's one of the biggest reasons for yuuji's strength. strength sukuna tries to undervalue because he can't stand the idea that strength can ever be compassionate as well.

yuuji hates sukuna's ideals and his indifference to the value of life. but he still accepts sukuna. he sees past the monstrous appearance and realizes sukuna was made into a monster by chance. what if someone was there for him, like wasuke was there for yuuji? even though wasuke still pushed yuuji away and was all that yuuji had, he still kept yuuji tethered to being a good person and caring for others. wasuke served as both a lesson in what not to become and a reminder for yuuji to realize the importance of life.

sukuna probably didn't have that, or if he was given that chance, it was far too late for him.

yuuji actually wanted to live with sukuna. he wanted to the animal rights activist to sukuna's worm monster, but in the end, sukuna chose death.

the humans killed the monster they made, yet again. sukuna would rather live and die as a curse than be anything different. yuuji loved him even as a worm, but sukuna couldn't take it.

and yuuji looks so heart-broken and disappointed for it.

also. i didn't notice this until now. but yuuji cradles sukuna's remains so so gently... in the hand that looks monstrous.

monster to monster. yet yuuji was so tender. he didn't seek to mock sukuna. instead, he said that they were the same. that sukuna is him.

yuuji was created for the purpose of housing sukuna inside of him, for being his vessel. he was made into a "monster" but instead of letting that turn him into something evil, he used his abilities to save other people. and he even wanted sukuna to come back to him!!!

again, i'm sorry for making this into yet another paper-long incoherent rant. i probably should have stuck to my original reply which was "sad we couldn't see their halfling children ;-;" but then this happened instead. thank you for bearing with me if you read through the mess of my thoughts. ty for your wonderful ask anon <3

[olenvasynyt]

i'd like to know your thoughts on how fae politics work in Prythian? like canon-wise? You seem like someone who could dissect ACOTAR worldbuilding. hope you have a good day! 🥰

Omg hi anon thanks for the question! I love thinking about fantasy poiltics and worldbuilding. I will say though, I might not be the best person to go to when discussing canon ACOTAR stuff lmao; when it comes to canon I'm like 😬ehhhhh😂😭 Besides the basics like the 7 High Lords and their powers as well as Rhysand's general relationship with the other Courts, we don't get a lot so we are left to fill in the pieces. And that's my favorite thing to do! Fill in peices, add or takes away pieces, saying fuck it and designing my own puzzle. Sooooo I am happy to share my headcanons that I come up with based off of logic as well as just vibes and "hey this would be cool".

Politics is a broad word but a few important details to discuss would be relationships, trade, gender roles, wealth disparity, and race. SO here's a little list of my ideas (and I do have a bit of a SJM critical rant so sorry lmao)

Race:

The lesser fae racism plays a "semi-significant" role in ACOTAR politics (I think it's lacking and only mentioned to give context to other stuff but whatever this is about headcanons). With what we see from Winter and Dawn in ACOWAR, I would say that these two Courts are the most accepting when it comes to the lesser fae. We have Kallias' diverse army as well as Thesan's Peregryn lover, who is the General of Dawn Court's army. Summer and Autumn are probably the most racist to the lesser fae, though Tarquin has been trying to make reforms in Summer. I feel like Spring was very bad when Tamlin's father was alive, but Tamlin made reforms when he became High Lord since we see lesser fae and High Fae alike during the Summer Solstice, the blue faerie came to Tamlin for help when he lost his wings, etc.

Relationships and Trade:

Autumn, Winter, Night, and Spring depending on the time are the most closed off from the rest of Prythian, which influences their relationships with the other courts. Autumn restricts the sale of smoekhounds outside of court, Night has their whole thing of being completely isolated from Prythian and only showing one side of themselves. Night Court very rarely gets goods outside of Night, which we see "often" in the series (SJM touches on it a bit but not much). And after UTM, Winter was careful in closing themselves off do to mistrust and attempting to heal.

There could be some courts that lead in tourism. Summer is the first one that comes to mind haha, and I feel like Day and Spring would be on that list too! Winter fae might travel to Autumn because the climate is warmer but also manageable, and the environment is so vibrant compared to Winter's cold white haha. The different Seasonal Court could have a burst of tourism on certain holidays: Spring could have a huge burst of tourism on Prythian's version of Valentine's Day and on the Spring Equinox, stuff like that.

It is so interesting to think about the trade agreements between the Courts and who has the most leverage when it comes to export / import. Autumn might have to most leverage since their main thing is produce (because of the harvest and all that), and Beron would probably love to use that to his advantage. Beron might restrict trade with certain courts based on pettiness and his dislike for their politics. Maybe he dislikes how Tarquin is supporting the lesser fae so he starts trade wars (huh sounds oddly familiar to a certain country's current leader...). Winter might have magic produce that can grow in the cold climate (I have a lot of headcanons for that) but maybe they depend on a lot of export since they might not be able to produce as much?

Day and Dawn's main product could be knowledge. Maybe it's common for fae to travel to these two courts for education, trade opportunities, medical assistance, etc. Dawn was described to be pretty unpopulated and with mostly small farming towns, so maybe Dawn isn't super wealthy compared to the other courts that produce tons are metals and gems and agriculture, but they make up for it with their knowledge and invention.

Gender Roles:

Gender and sexuality is almost impossible to talk about canonically because we genuinely don't get a ton...I feel like sexism might be common in Pyrthian due to the leaders being primarily male, but there's just this weird and annoying lack of...anything from a lot of the courts? Night is very sexist, given the treatment of females in the Hewn City, and same with Autumn. But Viviane played a role in the guard/army before, during, and after UTM, so it seems like females play important roles in politics in Winter. And same with Summer too because we see Cresseida kind of play important roles? She is Tarquin's close advisor, she's invloved in the army. There's this general sense of sexism that the main characters are trying to fight but also 🤷‍♀️ not really. Same with sexuality too, because Mor is hiding the fact that she's gay but we also see Tarquin and his male lover in an open relationship, Helion is very promiscuous and stereotypically bisexual. So how are the LGBTQ treated in Pyrthian besides this generic disappoval that's not really there for most of the time? It's really up to the discretion / imagination of the reader!😀😐

I went on a bit of a rant, I'm sorry about that 😂😭 I have a list of fun ACOTAR worldbuilding headcanons here, including primary exports for the different courts and stuff, and a list of lesser fae headcanons.

Hey I was thinking back to YOI and came across your fic just wanna say thank you for the entertainment! I am so glad you like Computer Science you said something about wanting to get back into writing and not knowing how the best thing I can say find something you like and just try to write little dabbles no thought out plot nothing for anyone but you and for fun obviously you shouldn’t force yourself too but I stoped writing because it stopped being a me thing and that really helped me just care about it again what ever you do I hope you are doing well :) good luck with your life!!!

Hi everyone, I hope whoever is still here on Tumblr is doing well. Was looking through some old messages today, sorry to folks I haven't responded to! PSA: I've got a lot of messages asking if people can translate my fics, and just want to say here that all translations are welcome, and I'm super honored that people would take the time to do that. I used to post links to the translations on the main AO3 entry for the fic, but to be honest I'm not even sure if I know my AO3 login anymore (!!) so no plans on updating that at the moment. But yeah, take this message as a go-ahead to translate whatever you'd like, if you did link back to the original when translating that would be cool. :)

Anyway, this anon message is so nice... I think I stopped writing fanfic because I entered a new period of my life (and got pretty busy), but also because I became a bit of a perfectionist. I got nervous that I'd put something out and people wouldn't like it, whereas when I'd started I was more writing for fun and it was great when people liked it but that wasn't my goal per se. I started creative writing again recently (not fanfic, but who knows where it will lead!) and am trying to have the same outlook that I had when I started this blog. It reminded me of actualyuuri/braveten, so thought I'd log in and see what's been happening!

Thanks to anyone who has ever read my fanfics, interacted with my blogs, or posted content that I used to enjoy on here. I really think that this blog and braveten were super impactful on my life, and sparked my love for writing and creativity in a powerful way.

I think fanfic is super underestimated, in terms of its ability to empower writers... That's something I'm appreciating more and more as I've been starting to try and write "independent" projects. Fanfic provides pre-established characters and relationships, in the sense that when I start reading I kind of know how these people should behave in the story and generally where things might end up (i.e. who is going to end up together in the end!). This has the added benefit of a built-in set of readers (us) who already love these characters. It lets writers launch their own story off of an existing foundation, without having to deal with as much world-building, audience-finding-and-convincing, and character-creation. This is a great way to hone writing skills, and most importantly have fun.

Sorry for my little rant, guess I'm sappy now. Not sure if it made any sense. :) Anon, I hope you get back into writing too, and are having a great life. I really do wish you the best. And I want everyone to know that I'm doing wonderfully and look back on this blog so fondly. <3

Hi I am the anon Chris asker from before, I am here to ask more questions about Chris because I believe you are the expert :)

At what point in development did they decide to make Chris not apart of the prank?

I think I saw a random post saying Chris’s roll in the prank was that he was supposed to get Josh drunk on purpose to make him be passed out for the prank and that he was drinking energy drinks while getting drunk with Josh to keep himself from passing out too but it didn’t work? Him going to these lengths to prank Hannah when he presumably grew up with her (with being Josh’s best friend and being around a lot) seems so cruel and out of character for Chris. I wanna know what is fact and also what you think!!

Thanks again!!

-fellow Chris enthusiast ❤️

Thank you. That’s nice of you to say. It’s fun to hear that people like all my ranting and raving about him. Chris is awesome. Sorry, it took a bit to collect my answer again.

I’ve looked into this question too.

Developer Statements:

It seemed like Chris was removed from the prank only a few months before release (though nobody can say for sure). There’s early demo footage of him in the prank video and dollhouse, then two devs who worked on the game said during a Twitch stream that they didn’t know why Chris was removed. However, the director has since spoken on it and implied it was quite a bit before release.

In a Crimson-Head podcast interview with the executive director Will Byles, one of the interviewers asked about Chris’s involvement in the prank. Byles said a few things:

“If you had everyone being a part of this group, it makes them a really unpleasant group, whereas if you have a few of them going along with it, it becomes slightly more believable, we thought.”

"So we wanted a little bit of nuance, I think, in that. There was the whole scene in the kitchen, and we wanted to have the fact that Josh wasn’t drunk on his own (Laughs). It made more sense to have them to be friends. And we carried that through into the actual thing. There was even kind of the shipping between Chris and Josh—that became a thing that we hadn’t written in, but we did want to have them to have quite a close relationship. If you had everyone being a part of this group, it makes them a really unpleasant group, whereas if you have a few of them going along with it, it becomes slightly more believable, we thought. So that was the thing about Chris not being a part of it. It wasn’t ‘a tiny bit before’ it. It was a while before we did it."

So the answer as to why Chris was removed is actually three answers:

Having this entire group gang up on one person at her own home was a little too nasty. The dev team decided that if a few people weren’t involved and this was done by only part of the group, it doesn’t seem like one unit of unlikable people.

They enjoyed the friendship between Josh and Chris and decided to carry that more into the main game.

It helped the party seem like a party. At least Chris and Josh are there, proving fun was had during this night lol.

My Thoughts on the "Chris got Josh Drunk" Theory

Now that carries into your next question. The “Chris got Josh drunk” theory was popular, I think, around at the time people realized he was once going to be part of the prank. That knowledge then emphasized the fact that Chris has lines apologizing for the prank or seemingly including himself within it. So the theory became that he was still part of it, but basically keeping Josh busy.

I really hate this theory for a few reasons.

There’s so little in the game proper to support it. We have arguments based on development knowledge and a few lines of apologetic Chris. But, if he had betrayed Josh, it would have come up more strongly. From a writing perspective, you wouldn't have this be a thing without commenting on it at all.

It directly contradicts two of Chris’s core traits: loyalty and protectiveness. “Protectiveness” is on his trait card in both games. “Loyal” is in the remake but also was always stated in his Companion App bio. If Chris directly played with Josh’s trust to intentionally get him to drink enough to be helpless and unable to protect Hannah… This is just SO contrary to what we know about Chris. Why even give him these traits if you violate them more than you show them?

Thirdly, this goes beyond Chris and changes the tone and nature of the prank. The prank was terrible, yeah. But the characters are still redeemable because the prank was depicted as an impulsive (perhaps even a little drunken) joke at a party. Now, what if the group went to Chris ahead of time and said, “Josh is going to try to stop us. We need him out. Just hang out with him and slowly get him inebriated”? This changes the tone dramatically. Now it’s not a group of teens making a mean mistake. It’s teens actively scheming to do something they’ve acknowledged would enrage their host, so they decide to have his best friend betray him by using alcohol to take away his agency. And, for some reason, Chris completely agrees to do this?

The Byles interview about why Chris was removed basically shoots down this theory as at all intended by the devs, at least. They wanted to SOFTEN the prank. And they wanted to better show that Chris and Josh have a close bond.

Did i just see someone say a-aldi?????? no the flashbacks 😨😨

-lore anon

(Adding the crk characters to the sanses would be wild and nothing but chaos)

YEAH… FLASHBACKS.. (crazy crossover I can’t imagine how chaotic it’d be-)

Anyway- If I’m going to be completely honest I don’t like the aldi meme anymore.. like at first it was fun but the more it got mentioned the more overwhelming it became (like I even decided to make a separate blog cause I didn’t like how clogged my main blog became with it,, idk why I just always prefer to keep my spaces neat and tidy and too much off-topic spam bothers me even now). It’s a stupid reason but it just started annoying and bothering me a lot so as you noticed I tried to distance myself from the meme but not outright say that I dislike it cause I didn’t wanna ruin anyone’s fun and it felt like a non-issue to be upset with and that I’m too sensitive. The only thing I could do is joke about hating it though there was a bit of truth to that…

Sorry for the sudden rant I haven’t been in the best mood today and I think I should be more forward with my feelings and not just stay quiet or brush everything off cause I don’t wanna upset anyone with my words,, I’m bad at managing things and keeping my boundaries straight I’m too soft for that eugh 💔

(also I’m not gonna reply to a lot of asks tonight if any at all I just wanna take a small break from things cause I’m drained and can’t handle responding unless they’re like super urgent tjdjfjd 💔)

[lenorenevermore99]

1- Sangihun,Jibyeok and 457 are ships that are just pure yaoi and yuri fantasy. In my eyes, Sang-Woo and Gi-Hun are doomed friends who got brutally hit by a tragic ending. Gi-Hun and Frontman are enemies who are different sides of the same coin (enemeies that have paralles but choosed different paths).I can't say certain thing about Sae-Byeok and Ji-Yeong but they are purely platonic to me (wish their dynamic were explored more tho).

2- Dae-Ho lied about being marine is a bullshit (Dae-Ho my boi get behind me!)

3- Jung-Bae and Jun-Ho are underrated as hell (and Jung-Bae deserves better than what he's got from the fandom)

4- Frontman being jealous of everyone breathing down Gi-Hun or other jokes about 457 is getting old as Optimus and Megatron divorced and made it everyone's problem.

5- Ngl i have my ships in the show but i morely ınterested in platonic,familial relationships and friendships.

6- Fandom caring about more shipping is sooooo insufferable when the show offers better things (at least to me 😅🤭)

7- I hate how underrated Gi-Hun is

8- I also had enough with Gi-Hun and some other characters (like In-Ho, who i enjoy as a villain) became a tool for shipping

(Sorry for ranting more about shipping but my problem lays there)

1. A lot of the people in these notes are confused as to why 457 or inhun is so popular and I want to give my quick n short thoughts on it. I personally belive it's a hold over from S1. One of the most popular ships was sangwoo x gi hun. While sangwoo obviously isn't as bad as in-ho he was still a very toxic character all things considered. My point is, I think the thousands of toxic yaoi shippers that shipped 218 x 456 just migrated and latched onto 001 x 456 lmao.

2. This is just an echo in here but JUNG BAE IS UNDERRATED AS FUCK WHYYYY??? He so charismatic and he's an echo of S1 Gi-hun you would think people would really dig him. IDK I did.

3. Genuinely shocked in ho is popular they way he is. Not to be confused with him being popular in the first place. I get him BEING popular. They way he is popular tho... is odd. Thanos had the fandom response I thought Inho was going to reccive. Instead, seeing sooo many people being sympathetic and justifying his POV was... interesting to say the least.

4. I don't think all inhun shippers are the same and i have my own delulu ships. So when I say thier mental gymnastics are crazy I'm referring to a specific group. Those who try to ship them realistically are rare. In ho has an unhealthy obsession with gi hun that much is clear. But seeing so many trying to justify that obsession as romantic instrest rather than a cold manipulator who desperately wants to be right is comical. You need to insert a lot of imagination to make this ship sail.

5. I'm outing myself with this bias buuuut. I'm so shocked Jung bae x gi hun is practically nonexistent??? Gi hun was so protective over jung bae from the moment he saw him🥺. The way Jung-bae was able to cheer him up to acting like his older self. Jung bae at the start was cowardly but still chose certain death to fight with and protect Gi-hun. They have a past. Jung's last name was to signify him being Gi hun's "bae". OMG WHY DID SO FEW SEE THE VISON?!?!?

I hate haters 😑🥲

Hello anon! To be honest with you, I'm kinda cofused you dumped all these here with zero context, but I'll try to answer the best I can.

Hard disagree. Your interpretations are valid and you have every right to see them however you want, but saying they're purely yaoi and yuri fantasies sounds a tinsy bit... idek.

Hard agree, honestly I thought that was a meme until I saw redditors talk about that theory seriously 😰

Hard agree! Especially Jung-bae.

It never gets old. Never.

Valid.

Idk what to tell ya. I don't care about people caring more about shipping, as long as they're having fun. The fandom is big, so you will always find someone to discuss about the others things of the show with. Feel free to drop in my ask box anytime if you want to discuss anything else in the show!

HARD AGREE! MY GLORIOUS KING IS SO UNDERRATED!

Eh, like I already said, I don't really care. I doesn't bother me that much, this is how fandoms are and how they've always been.

See, this is what I meant when I said the lack of context confused me. Which notes are you talking about? Because it sounds like you're talking about a specific post. Anyway, I don't agree at all with what you're saying. Sang-woo isn't a toxic character; he was manipulative, but because he was forced to be. And Sangihun was never as popular as Inhun is, although it had every right to be.

Hard agree on Jung-bae. I don't know why he isn't more popular, idk what to tell you. Maybe his fans are less vocal and talk about him less than the fans of In-ho, for example. To be hones, I'm a Jung-bae fan and don't talk about him that much, so I'm guilty of this too.

Unfortunately, people tend to do that with attractive characters. They tend to justify him and excuse him too much, I find him an extremely interesting and well written character but I don't think what he's done is justifiable. I don't think he has much possibility for redemption either.

I don't agree. If you wanna hear my thoughts about this go read the meta in my top posts.

Omg I'm actually quite shocked too this ship isn't more popular! Especially since Gi-hun is shipped with every male character who even breathes in his direction. Jung-bae needs to be included into Gi-hun's harem as an honorary member!

Anyways, I hope I've answered everything in a satisfactory way for you anon ❤️ Even though I'm starting to suspect this ask wasn't meant to be sent to me 😅

[laura1633]

i need to say this somewhere and i hope you won’t mind if i send this “rant” here. bc this is just a stupid smut pet peeve that i let annoy me so much.

but anyway every time i go to the lestappen tag i get really disheartened bc there is such a imbalance. there is so much bottom charles and omega charles and charles being loved and worshiped and i honestly wouldn’t mind that at all but the number of fics where max gets the same are pretty much nonexistent compared to charles-centric fics like there are bottom max fics but they get drowned out. pretty much all the popular fics that have thousands of kudos and that ppl recommend to everyone are bottom charles. seriously i saw a rec list once where the few bottom max fics had the fact that they are bottom max mentioned in the same manner as content warnings for some other fics. it was super weird but maybe the person who made that didn’t think it would come across like that.

i know there are lots of bottom max fics (i’ve probably read them all lol) and ppl who like both, like you. i’m happy about the ppl who comment on bottom max fics those fics still get a lot of love even when it seems so little in the grand scheme of things. but i’m just annoyed and a bit confused that it’s so disproportionate. probably bc charles is more popular than max and bottom charles has gotten so popular ppl are inclined to it and it's "safe" and gets more love.

then again there’s so much talk about omega max on tumblr and then none of that shows on ao3 weirdly. (except maybe on the maxiel side i literally became a maxiel shipper bc i wanted more omega max lol) some ppl on here who say they’re bottom/omega max “truthers” have like several top max fics on their account and no bottom max fics which literally not that deep everyone should write what they want and what they are inspired to write but not practicing what you preach confuses me a bit not gonna lie haha. i’ve written my own fics which are pretty much premises i want to desperately read but no one has written them (like fine i'll do it myself) and i've gotten a good response but i’m a slow writer so i haven't written everything i want to write. thank you for everything you’ve written laura!

I don't mind at all anon, I have added your second ask too <3 Sorry this ended up being a lengthy reply. I love that we can yap about the bottom or omega Max agenda though 😂

I started writing maybe about two years ago and at the time a lot of the Lestappen stories were definitely bottom Charles and omega Charles. I started writing because a little bit like yourself there was some stuff I wanted to read that didn't exist so I just wrote it myself. At the time I had no clue how to write but I have hopefully improved over the past couple years! I was just desperate for there to be some more soft Max or Max being looked after and cared for. I just think Max doesn't get enough love and there can never be enough fics where it's pointed out just how hot he is!

I also like the idea of sexy, hot alpha Charles and think it's fun to not always see him in that 'babygirl' role if that makes sense. Although I can see why he ends up in that role a lot, he is also very pretty

I used to read a lot of Maxiel for the same reason as yourself, in fact I do still read Maxiel because of that reason and also because there are some very talented writers writing it. (although I also think of Daniel as being quite omega like!)

I definitely agree that there is a lot more bottom and omega Max within the lestappen tag now compared to a couple of year ago.

For me, I like to swap it around. I like to write soft alpha Max and even bottom alpha Max. The main thing for me is that the dynamic works for the story I want to tell. I have started leaning more towards omega Max though because I know that there is plenty of omega Charles out there and there are plenty of people who can write omega Charles much better than I can!!

You are absolutely correct about the comments and kudos thing. Firstly I should say that there are some amazing writers writing some amazing bottom and omega Charles fics that deserve all the love in the world and I am not for one second suggesting that they only have so many responses because of the dynamic but (at least to start with) I found that my omega Charles fics got more kudos than the omega Max ones. That might have just been a coincidence but when I start writing a story I know it will get more attention if I write it with the omega Charles dynamic. I'm not for one second suggesting that that is what people are thinking about btw, it's just a fact I have noticed with my own work. These days I just write what I like and hope some other people like it. If I ranked my fics by kudos they definitely wouldn't be in quality order so I don't worry about that now 😂

Like you have said, everyone should write what they like as it's all for fun. I am just glad there are other people out there reading and writing bottom/omega Max or even just Max getting the love and attention he deserves.

I will read top Max and I enjoy top Max. The only Max fics I don't like are where the writer clearly doesn't like Max and is making him unnecessarily aggressive or just making him the butt of the joke in a mean way. I prefer to read Lestappen when I can tell that the writer likes both of them if that makes sense (obviously people have a favourite but that's different. )

The content warning for the bottom Max fics made me giggle. I don't know what context that was in as I didn't see the post but it definitely made me laugh. Maybe it needs a content warning because its likely to alter your brain chemistry and you'll not be able to see him topping again 😂

I will always write some bottom Charles and some omega Charles because it just works in certain contexts for me but I have felt myself leaning more towards the other dynamic. Hopefully most people don't mind because there are so many Lestappen writers these days so there is definitely plenty of omega Charles to chose from.

I am shocked there is not more Omega Max x Omega Charles though as that seems to fit quite well.

Sorry, I totally rambled there but I am a huge lover of omega and bottom Max and always will be. I am also a huge lover of Max being treated nicely and softly and getting all the attention and affection in the world.

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but that last idea of Coryo with a gf who has big breasts is just...jsbsjsksjdid

So I immediately thought...why not modern!incel!Coryo?? I think he'd be perfect for that, especially after it's already been established that he likes to suckle his gf's tits :((

I think he'd be *that* kind of incel boy that wants a girlfriend with big tits and his fav porn cathegory is just that but at the same time shames women with big chests 'bc they're all sluts who want the attention of men' and after he finally gets with you, he becomes insufferable with wanting you to dress 'modestly' because you can't just flaunt your boobs like that, you're his so don't go tempting men you slut!!

You notice ofc that Coryo became more fussy than usual, more attitude, started throwing more tantrums and became just so bitchy and nasty :(( throwing unsolicited curses at you, calling you a slut, a bitch, you swore you even saw him tear up when he was ranting and whining on why do you need to show off your big boobs so much with that deeo neckline when you were getting ready on a date with him so you decided that enough is enough, your dear bitchy incel bf wants to act all fussy like a baby? Fine, maybe he needs some 'baby' treatment too

So now you have him laying sideways in your lap as you scroll through your phone mindlessly, the low neckline of your nightdress pulled down over your tits and Coryo suckling on them like he almost expects something to come out, wiggling and whining desperately at you to *please* pay attention to him, give him a nice handjob like you usually do, pet his hair and coo at him, even call him your bitch, literally anything just please pay attention to him :((

Instead you're just scrolling your phone, one hand in his golden hair and ignoring him completely, only gently tugging from time to time when he gets too fussy. Coryo wants to act like a spoiled, tantrum throwing brat? Fine. He'll get treated like one too♡

god i don't even need to put anything here cause this right here. this is amazing. god, anon!!! you're a genius!!!@

he'd be so hissy with you not paying attention to him!!! he'd even bite a bit on your nipple to try and get your attention only for you to say that if he did it he wouldn’t get anywhere near your boobs for two weeks and he would cry and frown while sucking on you, then he'd be poutier than usual and you can't resist but cuddle with him in bed and let him have his way with your boobs, he'd end up getting hard though but that's not your problem, that's his punishment for being so childish!!

[deathbxnny]

Hi there! You asked some HSR angst, well here you go! can i request Jing Yuan and Blade x s/o who was the royal guard and prince/ss of Khaenri’ah.

More context on reader:

They were the second born child of Khaenri’ah’s Royal Family and part of the royal guards. So somehow during the Cataclysm the reader was transported to the HSR universe. They were VERY traumatized of just what happenend and had put up an upbeat and plucky personality as a coping mechanism for what happened. They traveled the universe for sometime before they met Jing Yuan/Blade and ofc learned of Aeons. They dont like the Aeons and any mention of them would get rid of their upbeat facade quickly. They associate the Aeons with the Archons that destroyed their nation, now they know they arent the gods that did it but they cant help it. Basically Dainsleif’s attitude to anthing archon related but much chiller? Bc again they’re not the same ones who destroyed their nation so their willing to give them a very small benefit of the doubt.

How would they react to their s/o revealing their past and immortality to them after they had snapped at someone for something (probably aeon related that hit a bit too to home?) and became distant towards everyone for while. They tearfully revealed their past and then later go on a rant about their hatred toward gods. Also how would their lover react hearing about the curse (The pureblood and the half blood/non blood khaeri’ahns) the people of Khaenri’ah received.

How would they react towards their s/o being suicidal because the erosion that the curse cause them to have is THAT bad they just wanted to die but cant bc they cant die from being murdered as they can self regenarate or from old age. (Think of the demons from kimetsu no yaiba, like when yushiro got his head decapitated, yeah im pretty sure their lover saw their head get regenerated like one time)

Hope you enjoy this angsty request and have a good day/night!

》Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan always silently questioned your past and often wondered why you were so secretive about it. However, he also respected your boundaries and therefore never pushed you for any answers, as he knew how sensitive some topics were. But when you one day just snapped at someone for the simple mention of the Aeons and God's, he started slowly piecing together your story on his own. It definitely also helped, that you eventually just spilled everything to him.

He was understanding and supportive, horrified to hear about the curse and it's consequences. He had heard of and seen many evil things, but this still shocked him. Especially after learning what the curse did to you as well. He was deeply upset when he heard about your want to die and despite understanding it, he still made sure you knew how important you were to him.

He tried making you see the bright side of it at least, as the curse gave him the opportunity to spend an endless lifetime with you at his side, something he deeply wished for. And he was glad, that he could, even with it being a horrible curse that allowed him to be.

-----♡

》Blade

Blade didn't really care about your past at first, as you never seemed to care about his. It was a mutual understanding between you two to just not mention it and try moving past it together, despite Blade's need for revenge. And at first, he was content with that, until he noticed your strong disdain for God's/Aeons. This confused him, as he didn't understand what it was that bothered you so much, until you eventually broke down and told him about it in a long rant.

He listened to you quietly, as you spoke about your people and their curse. About how you were sick of living and just wanted to finally rest. About how you were just really done with everything. And he understood you perfectly. He really did. Especially as he himself was cursed to immortality and wanted to die more than anything. The fact that you felt the same as him brought him more solace than anything in this world ever could.

But that's exactly why he also was so adamant on you continuing on even through your curse. After meeting you, he realised that immortality may not be as bad as he originally thought, especially when it's just spent with you. He'll help you get your revenge, as long as you promise to stay with him forever too.

A/N: I'm genuinely praying this is even slightly coherent. Sorry for the wait Flower Anon and thank you again for the request!

kinda wanna have a long rant here cause it feels cathartic so i hope you don't mind. ignore this if you feel annoyed. may be a bit controversial.

i think twitter sns are mainly vain and shallow. tiktok sns barely read the manga. tumblr sns have all the smart meta blogs but there are also a lot of the edgy wannabe communists who annoyed me too much sometimes especially since naruto (the character) is my og fave all the way since i was a kid so i take offense in the way he's constantly bashed around these circles. like yes i get it he grow up to be a bootlicker he's a neoliberal all of this is bad etc etc and all of the criticism of these are warranted but sometimes its just too much that idgaf sorry.

before the fake wokes get all fired up i'm literally from a SEA country that was colonized by japan and my country had a history of violent persecution where over 1 million of its revolutionary left party members were hunted down, imprisoned, and killed. i myself used to be active in researches concerning preserving history of these but anyways. the point is i know these things are serious but at the end of the day naruto is fiction? sure it'd be great if there was a proper politically correct resolution for all the bad things that happen in the show, centering justice and retribution etc etc but at the end of the day the story kishi wants to tell is not that. he's a liberal pacifist and assimilationist whose core value in his manga are all about peace forgiveness cooperation etc etc. naruto's character is deeply intertwined with this since he's the MC and supposed to be the voice of reason so i can see why some people might get fed up what with his constant preaching in his talk no jutsus and all. i personally liked him because of his personal ability to empathize and make bonds in spite of his loneliness but anyways thats also beside the point.

i just think that these fans who are super pissed that things didn't go the way they want should find other media that centers more on those justice themes they like so much, like idk, maybe death note or aot. i don't read any other manga.

most of these stans always being negative and complaining every damn day about everything, insulting everything about the media they claim to hate yet STILL having a fan account dedicated to it where they just hate on it all the time is so 💀💀. like, i consider myself a leftist as well and when i want to enjoy a good communist media I'd watch soviet films from the 60s and not obsessively latching on to a shounen manga written by a liberal and then gets pissed when the author doesn't share the same values as me.

i became obsessed with naruto because the writing of the batshit insane deranged toxic doomed homoerotic twin-flame-like relation was GOOD between sns and that's what i'm here for. but i think the polemic and polarization of this massive fandom is just too much for me. i don't know how you deal with it being in this fandom for so long. I've only peeked around for about a month and i'm already fed up. i used to not really interact with popular mainstream media exactly for this reason. no matter how i see it it's true that many of the Sasuke/Uchiha centric sns fans in here does lowkey hate naruto and are mutuals with naruto antis and it just gave me the final kick to not want to interact much with all of these crowd sorry. the ship still 10/10 and will always be top tier tho.

Hey anon!

I really have nothing to add other than I don’t like Twitter and TikTok SNS fandoms either LMAOO
