#this is literally the best way I can explain it

[housegoblin]

To the people politely inquiring about my identity, what it means, and why one would identify themselves in this way, here is a repost of an answer I gave to someone on instagram who was also asking politely:

This is a question that can have so many different answers depending on who you ask, but I'll try to explain to the best of my ability. Just keep in mind that my experiences are not universal and that someone else who identifies as an agender lesbian may have a completely different reason for why they identify as such! So, let's dissect the terms themselves: to me "agender" means not having a strong sense of personal gender, "transmasc" means that my gender presentation leans more masculine and that I have made efforts to pass as a guy to the general public, while "lesbian" defines who I am attracted to. I grew up as an afab kid struggling with their sexuality, and the way I came to terms with my attraction to women has a lot of overlap with most other lesbians. I can't erase those experiences, they are a part of who I am, and I believe that your experiences in life inform the label you choose for yourself rather than the other way around. I'm attracted to women, and only women, and while I don't technically feel like a girl, I still experienced girlhood as a child, and I have a lot feelings of love for and camaraderie with women that I simply can't define as, say, male heterosexual attraction (especially since I don't REALLY feel like a guy, in one of my comics I bring up that I feel more like I'm "guy flavored" and I still think it sums my gender up pretty well). A good resource to check out for more info on this topic is the book Stone Butch Blues by transmasc lesbian Leslie Feinberg, where they talk about their struggles with their sexuality and gender and with finding a place for themselves within a world defined by strict gender and sex roles. Thanks for reading this very long-winded reply and I hope that it made some sense to you haha To the people who were asking...let's say, less politely, or making broad assumptions about me/my sexuality/my gender/my background based on a single comic; I don't have the power to keep you from believing whatever it is you believe, so it's not my problem if you spend your time getting angry at actual strangers online instead of doing literally anything else. As for everyone else who has expressed support for me or joy at feeling represented by this little comic, thank you and I hope y'all have a lovely day <3

let's get burgers 49 "coming out"

I think I saw you say that Robin’s post-TS hairstyle was part of her character development reflected in her design (if that wasn’t you, my bad!) and I’d love to hear your expanded thoughts on it, and how that ties in with her Elbaf haircut now! After my friend said that her post-ts was just Croc’s ‘do but longer I haven’t been able to unsee it lol

That almost definitely was me because I feel very strongly about Robin's design journey and how Oda landed on the design he did and the way misinterpretations of her character because people want her to be nothing more than a hottie baddie femme fatale and *takes a deep breath* I know it's not that serious, but it means a lot to me!

Disclaimer: This is my personal interpretation, and I'm very passionate about it so take it all with a grain of salt!

So! Without further ado!

We can infer a lot about her haircut when she's introduced. Her face is covered/often in shadow from the hat which is intended to lend to the mystery of just who this woman is. We then see her first bounty poster. She's been wanted since she was 8. That's really fucking strange! Not only that but her haircut is nearly identical.

When she joins, she explains that she's more or less been on her own since she was 8, so you can infer that she's been cutting her hair like this herself. She's holding onto that moment where she had one friend she could rely on. She's literally stuck in the past. It looks almost choppy too, which to me tells me it's a quick utilitarian thing. It does not go past her shoulders.

Until she's been with the crew!

You can tell as early as Skypiea and through Thriller Bark, but it's super noticable in Sabaody just how long it grows to me. It's gotten super long!! She's letting them in by this point, she's found her home!

So when she comes back after being separated...

That change has fully taken hold! She's no longer covering her face either with a hat or her hair! She's more relaxed, she's almost always smiling unless something requires her full attention and even then she's Most Likely to Giggle and Verbally Heart Emoji. Her face is more open, it's softer. She's. Happy. She's changed in every meaning of the word! And she did it for her friends and for herself.

It's the most apparent to me in Zou. Like look at that face. That's the embodiment of joy. She's comfortable, she's relaxed. She's not hiding anything!

Then we hit Wano!

Miss Demonio dons the same old bangs and embodies the moniker her pursuers gave her. It is. Quite literally. The best of her and the worst of her. It is what she will do for the people she loves and who she has accepted love her. That is. Incredibly complex and beautiful to me.

Then we get some huge news...

Saul is not dead. The person who saved her and gave her hope and gave her the chance to get to where she is now, safe and happy and chasing the dream she picked up from the people of Ohara, so close she can almost taste it. He didn't die. He didn't die saving her.

She has

Come full circle. She has accepted her past and she is healing! Her bangs are the same, but her hair is still different! It's still longer, but it has a connection to that little girl who was lost and lonely. She also let someone else cut it, and not just anyone, but BROOK. The man who has kept his afro safe for 52 years so HIS friend could recognize him. To me, her hair in Elbaf is incredible. I take issues with the notion that "she's back" as if she ever left. This is new, this is different, and this is beautiful.

Thank you for reading my mini essay about her hair, but I really do think that character design means something. I don't think she's supposed to be a cold, badass. That was always an act. She just wants to love and be loved and she always has, and I think that her journey is portrayed beautifully by her hairstyles throughout the years.

Hi nini <3 hope you're doing wonderful!!

Can I request 24. showing up injured at their friend/mentor's place with Mingyu? Like, reader is blood soaked or has broken ribs or bones or something and mingyu fixes them? And maybe a really tender and classic™ kdrama moment where mingyu tends to their injury on face/lips 👀

hi lovely! <3 i am doing good, hope you are too! thank you very much for requesting, hopefully you'll like it <3

prompt: showing up injured at their friend/mentor's place

'your first time in my house and you're coming here looking like you're back from the war,' mingyu mutters, coming back with scissors. he kneels in front of you, carefully extending your right leg on his thigh. 'let me know if it hurts.'

'it hurts,' you instantly quip, because it does. everything below your right knee stings and hurts like a bitch.

'that fall was nasty, huh?' mingyu questions, looking at the torn up state of your jeans. 'you sure you're fine with me just cutting them?'

you nod, grimacing a little. 'yeah, go ahead.'

falling from the bike and almost scraping whole right side of your body raw was not on your bingo card for the holidays, but you should've had a better grip. you and mingyu were supposed to meet in two hours and the joke about how you couldn't wait to meet him so you fell off the bike is not very funny, to be honest. everything aches and you pitifully watch your favorite pair of jeans being cut by your friend, who looks way too concerned. 'you trust me, yeah?' mingyu suddenly asks, looking up.

that's a loaded question. it kind of is embarrassing how much you trust mingyu, because.. it's mingyu. your best friend/kinda a crush/best boy on this planet and of course you trust him. 'yep,' you answer and then shout loudly, when mingyu very quickly picks you up bridal style. 'mingyu!'

'gotta take you to the bathroom, those cuts need to be washed and desensitized,' he explains like him picking you up is nothing.

'i could've walked!' you argue, gripping his shoulders.

mingyu sends you a pointed glare and you huff, rolling your eyes. yeah, okay, maybe walking would've been a lot harder. mingyu is incredibly gentle with you: from the way he settles you on the edge of the bathtub to the way he takes off your sock and starts cleaning your cuts. every touch is full of care and even when he starts blowing on the cuts after desensitizing them, he only reverently caresses your skin, when you try not to cry. it makes you feel a little dizzy inside and you shake your head, trying to come back to your senses. 'it looks like someone died here,' you joke, pointing at the all red bathtub. 'my god, just few cuts and so much blood.'

'not just few cuts, you're literally bruised everywhere,' mingyu tsks, gently rubbing your leg with a towel. 'we still need to go to the hospital, i think.'

'what a great weekend you're having, tending to my injuries and then taking me to the hospital,' you cringe, sighing. 'sorry, mingyu. it's such a downer to our plans.'

two slim fingers take a hold of your chin, making you look up. your breath hitches at the proximity of his face, of his big sincere eyes that look at you with nothing but reverance. 'what are you sorry for?' he asks quietly, not letting you look away. 'it's not a downer, i just want you to be okay. i'm the one who's sorry for your jeans.'

you both smile at this. mingyu doesn't lean back and you can feel your cheeks heating up, when he leans closer, inspecting your face. god is there something- 'hold still,' he orders gently, carefulyl dabbing at your right side with a wet towel. 'you should be more careful, dear. can't have you hurting yourself like that.'

it stings. cuts sting, but your close your eyes not due to the pain; it's too hard to stare at mingyu this close. because from this up close it's so easy to mistake his friendly care for something else, something much more intimate, something like-

'open your eyes,' he whispers and when you do, he smiles at you lovingly. he's so close that your noses are almost touching and it's messing with your head more than you care to admit. catching your eyes, mingyu smiles. 'hi.'

you blink. 'hi.'

his eyes never leave yours and it feels a bit surreal. it's like time stopped and it's just you two together, staring into each other's eyes like there's nothing else exists. little did you know that it is like that for mingyu - he can easily spend hours getting lost in your eyes, but he doesn't think you're ready to learn about it just yet. with a great restraint, he leans back, smiling at the way you exhale loudly. good to know that he's not the only one affected. 'i'll find you something to wear instead of your jeans and let's get you to the hospital.'

you nod, not trusting your voice at the moment. mingyu helps you up and then carries you again but this time to his bedroom, which makes you blush even harder. while you're trying not to let your feelings show, mingyu is trying to not overthink - his mind keeps on picturing other scenarios of why you'd might need his clothes (because you stayed the night. not as a friend, but as his lover, as his girlfriend, as-

'mingyu?' he comes back to himself, turning to you. 'i said that anything of yours is fine.'

you have no idea what you do to him with those words. or maybe you do, judging by rosy blush on your cheeks. mingyu has to re-think his idea that you're not ready to hear about his feelings. looking at you sitting comfortably on his bed, looking like you belong there, he thinks that you might be very, very ready.

a/n: hopefully this was alright dear, let me know! - nini

The "King" of Teachers 2

Ozpin: Ms Arc-

Artoria: *glare at Ozpin*

Ozpin: *gulp* Ms Pen-

Artoria: *an aura of pure evil envelop her* Ozma...

Ozpin: *Panicking* A-Artoria!

Artoria: *going back to normal* Better.

Ozpin: *wipe out the sweat from his forehead* Artoria, as much as your expertise in grimm extermination is indispensable, i would like you to refrain from traumatizing the students.

Artoria: *deadpan* I only told them what would happen if they left their guard down during a mission.

Ozpin: I understand that, but-

Artoria: *stare coldly at the old wizard* Your students are weak willed. *Lean forward, putting her hands on the headmaster desk* My son who, shall i remind you, never had any form of training whatsoever has more guts than some of your top students. *Squinting her eyes* Pyrrha Nikos, Ruby Rose, the entirety of team CRDL and so many more don't have what it takes to take a singular training mission!

Ozpin: W-well, Grimm study was made to prepare students-

Artoria: *With a voice full of venom* You are trying to brainwash them, telling them lies about how heroic our job is without telling them the true horrors they'll have to face.

Ozpin: *sweating again, feeling the dread gnawing at his psyche* N-now, hold on- *getting gripped by the collar, the King of storms looking livid* Artoria!?!

Artoria: *lifting him to her face* I won't let you put my son and his friends in danger for your stupid war, Oz. Or perhaps i should tell your inner circle about your little secret?

Ozpin: *legs dangling in the air, completely terrified* F-FINE! D-DO WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR THEM!!!

Artoria: *releasing the headmaster, smiling* Ah, glad you could see my way~! *Turning around* Now, if you'll excuse me, i have a class to teach! *Leave*

Ozpin: *waiting until he was certain she was gone, slumping down in his chair* And Arc has to deal with three of them!? Gosh, even Salem was less intense!

_ _ _

Jaune: *sigh, brushing his mother's hair while she explains the weakness of each type of Grimm present in the emerald forest*

Artoria: *smiling* -the best way to get rid of a deathstalker is to get rid of its stinger first-

Nora: Oh, like what we did during initiation!

Artoria: ... *Keeping her smile while a thousand years of rage boil under her closed eyes* Sorry, did you say your team fought a deathstalker?

Nora: *grinning* Yeah! And man, it was enormous! Even bigger than a truck!

Artoria: *continuing to smile* ... *Slowly getting up, picking up her lance at the same time* Ah, i see. *Her smile turns into a murderous stare* I'll be back in a bi-

Jaune: *quickly grabbing her* Mom, you can't murder the headmaster.

Artoria: *Calmly, as if explaining to a child* Jaune, sometimes hard decisions need to be made and-

Jaune: *coldly* If you take even one more step, you can say bye bye to your 5 star meals.

Artoria: *quickly get back on her chair, looking down* That's unfair...

Weiss: *frown* What does he mean by this?

Nora: Oh, Jaune's cuisine is literally the best food we've ever had. Even Pyrrha cried the first time she tasted it.

Pyrrha: *sigh* It was like tasting a piece of heaven~

Ren: *nod* He's very proud of it too.

Weiss: *threw away every meal he made her before tasting them* ... I see.

Yang: *pensive* Weird, i always see him eat junk food.

Nora: *shrug with a smirk* That's because you only see him eat during lunches. He eats thrice as much as me!

Wow, I’m fascinated by the number of words you used to once again demonstrate that you still don’t understand the point. But before we continue, let’s break down everything you’ve said and compare it to what has been said before, because apparently, your debate method consists of attributing statements to me that I never made, only to then refute them with great indignation. Let’s take it step by step.

First, your insistence that "we make Snape a victim without agency, without choice, destroying his redemption arc." I literally responded to you earlier: "No one is saying that Severus was defenseless. No one is saying that Severus didn’t make bad decisions. No one is saying that Severus didn’t do bad things. What is being said is that there are reasons and contexts that explain those decisions." And yet, you keep insisting that what I’m doing is stripping him of agency and completely justifying him. That is not the case.

What you still don’t understand is that analyzing context does not equate to removing responsibility. This is not a deterministic discourse where Snape could never have done anything differently. It’s about understanding that his development was conditioned by multiple material factors that cannot be ignored if we really want to analyze the character in depth. Because the opposite—what you are doing—is assuming that human beings exist in a vacuum where decisions are made without any influence from their environment. And that’s ridiculous.

Now, let’s talk about the moral comparison you insist on making between Snape and James. You can’t do that, and not because of any bias toward Snape, but because their contexts are completely different. What can be done is analyze the difference between an aggressor who comes from a functional environment, with support, economic and emotional security, and an aggressor who comes from an environment of constant violence, where aggression is the norm and vulnerability is punished. The first scenario indicates a truly conscious choice to cause harm, while the second is the result of a learned and normalized pattern. Is it justifiable? No. But it is explainable, and more importantly, it is predictable within a psychological and sociological analysis.

This is such a relevant distinction that it’s a determining factor, for example, when evaluating individuals in a judicial process. It’s something that any forensic psychologist takes into account when conducting interviews with defendants in a criminal trial to determine sentencing and its aggravating or mitigating factors. It’s not something that can be overlooked when assessing the severity of a crime because it is intrinsically related to the crime itself and is a fundamental part of both prosecution and defense strategies, depending on whom the lawyer represents.

You yourself mentioned this regarding Sirius: "Sirius made choices." Yes, because Sirius ended up in an environment that allowed him to make choices. He ended up in a Hogwarts house that gave him the opportunity to make choices. He had a best friend who gave him the opportunity to make choices. He could escape his home because James took him in—a home that, by the way, was not just any home: it was the home of rich, progressive pure-blood wizards. He didn’t even have to give up his social status when he left the Black family, and later, he received a large inheritance and an apartment from his uncle.

Sirius made choices under the premise of having an economic safety net and a social support network—something Severus did not have. Or are you not mentioning that because it doesn’t fit your argument? Severus not only didn’t have a home to go to because the place he was supposed to return to was abusive, but the house he ended up in at Hogwarts was full of people aligned with a specific ideology. Was he supposed to go against the world? Without economic, familial, or social support? Without a place to escape to? It makes no sense for you to compare the choices made by characters who had multiple paths to choose from and several lifelines to someone who had nothing.

Now, let’s address the war fallacy you use to justify James. First, you claim that "in times of war, no one cares about their enemies’ past" and that "James chose the right side, and that’s what matters." This is extremely problematic, and in fact, it’s an argument that has historically been used to justify atrocities. The idea that the context of war erases all individual responsibility and that only the side you end up on matters is ridiculous. By that same logic, any follower of Grindelwald could use the same argument: "It was a war, no one cares about nuances."

Besides, when they start at Hogwarts, they’re not in a war. They get involved in the war after finishing school. And if Sirius didn’t even know that Severus was a Death Eater until he got out of Azkaban, it’s clear that James didn’t know either. So what’s the point of using war and sides as an excuse? Does it mean that if someone is on the opposite side of a war from me and I’m on the "democratic" or "good" side, then I can do whatever I want to my enemies? Do you understand how dangerous and problematic that worldview is?

Even worse, by this logic, Sirius is also justified because "it was a war." And you know what? So is Snape. Because if the only criterion that matters is "which side you fought on," then there’s no real difference in how they got to that point. War is a terrible excuse for moral analysis because war is precisely what makes the lines between good and evil blurry. So no, James’s choice doesn’t have intrinsic value just because he ended up on the winning side.

Moving on to another one of your failed refutations: "Snape, from his first scene on the train, started the conflict by insulting Gryffindor." Yes. An 11-year-old child, with a childhood full of abuse and violence, commits a verbal aggression. And for this reason, in your mind, it is absolutely understandable for a group of teenagers to turn him into their scapegoat for the next seven years? Do you realize how absurd that sounds? Especially because, in fact, it’s not Severus who starts the conflict but James, who inserts himself into a conversation he wasn’t a part of to mock a boy he doesn’t even know. Severus simply defends himself—and he has every right to do so.

Let’s move on to another point where you distorted my words: "You say that James is a psychopath with no reason to be aggressive." No, what I said is that James had no structural justification to develop such aggressive behavior. That’s not the same thing. No one is saying that James was "the son of Satan" or that "he had no right to make mistakes." What’s being said is that his behavior is far more questionable when viewed in the context of his life. A rich child, with a loving family, a support network, and friends, choosing to be a bully. Do you really want to compare that to someone like Snape? I used Sirius as an example because, in fact, he is even more violent and reprehensible than James. But as I have pointed out—and you have deliberately chosen to ignore—Sirius had a specific upbringing that explains his behavior, and precisely because of that, he is neither condemned nor resented as much. This is not about having "excusable" attitudes but rather "understandable" ones based on the character’s context and life development. James had no real reasons to be a jerk—he simply felt like it. That’s why he cannot be judged by the same moral standards as characters whose contexts significantly influenced who they became and how they behaved. It’s basic psychology.

And finally, let’s talk about the idea of "the right choice." You say that "James chose good when he could have chosen otherwise" and that "Snape chose evil and cannot be excused."

Do you know why this is not a valid argument? Because it completely minimizes each character’s political position within their respective environments. Choosing "good" is easy when the system is designed for it to be the obvious option for you. James never had to question his place in the magical society. His world offered him a path where he would be a hero, where his beliefs aligned with the status quo of his circle. Snape didn’t have that option. He grew up surrounded by marginalization and violence, with the only alternative being to integrate into a system that validated him.

Yes, he made the wrong choice. But his range of choices was infinitely smaller than James’s. And if you can’t grasp the importance of that, then you don’t understand the concept of privilege or social structure.

So no, this is not "whitewashing" Snape. It’s not "victimization." It’s a realistic analysis of the conditions that lead a person to make decisions. And if, after all this, you still don’t understand that I’m not saying Snape is innocent, but rather that his path cannot be analyzed from the same perspective as James’s, then you simply lack the ability to engage in this kind of analysis seriously.

Your problem is that you’re too blinded by the need to defend James to realize that the point was never about justifying Snape without consequences. It’s about understanding the conditions that lead a person to certain behaviors and how context is crucial in analyzing moral choices. If, instead of projecting this reductionist discourse about "Snape having no agency," you had actually paid attention to what was being said from the start, you would have saved yourself this entire unnecessary rant.

So next time you want to debate this, do yourself a favor and try to understand what’s being said before rushing to refute things that no one actually claimed. Maybe then you’ll be able to construct an argument that makes sense instead of repeating ideological fallacies with a veneer of serious analysis.

Have a good day.

Isn’t that funny that Snape stans are obsessed w James as much as Snape himself was obsessed with him

A “thesis essay” on my thoughts on young Bobadin vs. canon (older) Bobadin

Been thinking about my current favorite ship, Bobadin. Specifically younger Bobadin. Most Boba and Din shipping I see is from The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett era. Which makes sense, it’s when they meet. Which is Boba at like roughly 41 and Din roughly 39 (in that range at least).

And I like this version of Bobadin the best honestly. Older/middle aged Bobadin makes the most sense. Both of them clearly are stubborn, have tempers and middle aged man grumpiness lol. And I love them both for it. But they both also are mellow in a lot of ways. I think this is most clear in Boba, who as a younger person is VERY angry and hotheaded. He has a lot of reasons to hate the world. He holds grudges (fairly tbh) against the Jedi and Republic. But TBOBF/The Mandalorian Boba we see seems to have cooled his temper somewhat. He seems more comfortable with himself and seems to control/direct his anger in more specific ways. A lot of that ‘ready to pop at anytime’ anger seems to have faded.

In the other side, we don’t ever see a younger/teen Din (I know we see him being saved by the Children of The Watch as a kid, but we don’t ever see what his personality is like). So we can’t canonically know what Din was like as a younger person, but I like to headcanon that he too was a bit more hotheaded. We see Din in canon can be very sweet and willing to help others (his a million side quests and willingness to bargain for stuff instead of outright fighting people). He generally is calm and doesn’t emote a ton. But he still can be grumpy and have moments of temper (shooting at droids he doesn’t like, trying to use the flame thrower on the Jawas). So I headcanon, much like Boba, he used to have a much quicker temper (especially for droids) and probably was even more grumpy (angsty teen Din feels very on brand for him lol).

I explain all this because canon timeline Bobadin has them meeting at a time in their lives where they are older, and have had time to mellow out. They both know who they are (okay Din might be having a crisis over his faith and religion but it’s fine, he gets better), and they both are less quick to start unnecessary violence. I think this is why Boba and Din seem to get along so quickly after their, admittedly, rough first meeting. Boba has Fennec threaten Din’s kid at gun point because he thinks Din has stolen his armor. Din doesn’t help himself either by saying the armor belongs to the Mandalorians (I can easily see how Boba could have taken this as Din rubbing it in his face that Boba isn’t a Mandalorian and doesn’t deserve his armor. And we know this might be an opinion Boba has run into before because Bo-Katan basically say as much when she sees him later in the show.) But despite this, very rough start, Din gives Boba his armor once Boba proves it’s his, despite Boba threatening his kid. And Boba doesn’t take immediate insult to Din’s initial reaction AND goes way above and beyond to help Din get his son back. Both of them could have held grudges or reacted heatedly to the others actions. I could see how from both their perspectives how an aggressive reaction would be reasonable. But they don’t. They both act rationally, and don’t go out of their way to escalate the situation with the other needlessly (okay I know Boba literally started by holding Grogu at gun point but from Boba, that’s pretty tame I think 😂😅)

All this to say, I think the place and time in their lives has shaped them enough that in this meeting, they both end up getting along anyways despite everything. I mean Boba kinda just hops on Din’s Grogu rescue crusade immediately and Din’s willingness to go to lengths to help Boba in TBOBF later show how absent of a grudge they hold. You can probably chalk Din’s willingness to die for Boba’s cause up to him wanting to honor how Boba helped save his son. After all, we know how Mandalorians, especially Din’s type of Mandalorian, appreciate those to save and protect children. But I also just think Din at that point probably respects and likes Boba to some extent. And again, I think the ease of their relationship partially just comes from their age and experiences. They are seasoned enough in life to not jump any guns, and instead take the chance to back the other up. And it pays off, they are allies and get along in canon (and not in canon, m00ntunaart thinks they like-like each other lol).

Which brings me to my a main thought of this post: I don’t think if Boba and Din had met at a younger age (anytime pre Boba falling into the Sarlacc) that they would have as easily fell into a comfortable relationship (allies, friendship, romantic or otherwise). In fact, my biggest thought was ‘I don’t think a younger Boba would even like Din’. (Not at first at least).

Which might sound weird considering I do ship Bobadin and I actually have drawn more ‘younger Bobadin’ than ‘canon age Bobadin’. But the more I think of it, the more sure I am that these boys would have been at each other’s throats at any earlier time than when they canonically met. Which makes younger Bobadin even more interesting to me.

Like previously said, we know younger Bobadin was a lot angrier of a person. And we can’t know for sure, but I assume (headcanon) Din probably was a lot angrier too (if not just probably more grumpy/quick to temper). So if they had met in a similar way as younger men, they definitely would have not had the same wherewithal to not come to blows. I don’t think either Boba or Din would have held back from immediately getting angry and just resorting to fighting the other. Which makes sense to be honest. This isn’t what makes younger Bobadin fascinating to me though. What makes it fascinating, is that based on what we know of young Boba I think he would have hated Din on sight.

The biggest reason I think this is 1. Boba has clear issues with everything related to his dad. And I’ve seen tons of interpretations on how Boba might view his dad later in life. I lean towards some middle ground of ‘Boba loves his dad and grieves/misses him, but definitely holds some resentment for how his Dad died and left him with basically no support system’. With the added mental fuckedness of Boba probably thinking in the back of his mind ‘what made me the clone chosen to be Jango Fett’s son? Could he have easily chosen a different clone?’ Also just in general probably the mind fuck of being a clone of your dad and a million other clones of your dad existing lol. But long story short, Boba has Daddy Issues, and I could see how this would probably translate to him have issues with everything related to his dad. Including Mandalorians in general. Now forgive me for this if I’m wrong, I couldn’t remember and couldn’t find a clear answer in my research, but I don’t believe Boba is a Mandalorian. By technicality, he could count since a child of a Mandalorian is Mandalorian by nature. But I don’t think Boba ever really claimed the title of Mandalorian or seems to want to be one. And a headcanon on this I’ve seen, that I really enjoy, is that this is because he has issues with his Dad and his Dad’s history. He didn’t get to be raised a Mandalorian because his Dad died. He didn’t get that culture, and seemingly (again based on Bo-Katan’s reaction) some Mandalorians seem to view him as not Mandalorian by virtue of being a clone. This is definitely breeding grounds for a young Boba Fett to have a lot of resentment towards the Mandalorians and their culture. After all, it’s easier to hate a something than to feel the pain of never getting to be a part of it.

ALL OF THAT TO SAY, young Boba would take one look at young Din, and probably hate him. Just by virtue of being a Mandalorian. OH- and once he finds out Din is part of a covert that used to be part of the Death Watch? That’s not gonna earn Din any points. (Even if Boba denies his Mandalorian heritage, I imagine he still hold his familial Haat’ade grudge against Death Watch. They killed his Dad’s dad tbf.)

This is an interesting idea to me, because in opposition to this, I think on sight Din would think favorably of Boba. Based on Din’s reaction to the Night Owls in The Mandalorian, the covert never told him about other Mandalorians. He would see Boba (who we know at a young age didn’t remove his helmet much in front of others) and just assume he’s one of his type of Mandalorian (who in Din’s mind are the only type of Mandalorian). I think Din probably has this view that all Mandalorians are trustworthy and honorable because he comes from a small community of Mandalorians who all live by the same morals and creed. His only experience with other Mandos are with his own people. He wouldn’t think to not like or not trust Boba. He just sees him, thinks he’s Mandalorian, thus he must be a good person. Because ‘all Mandalorians are honorable, right?’ (Oh poor Din, how naive. Dude lived under a rock (sewer I guess) his whole life and doesn’t know there are a lot of shitty Mandalorians throughout history).

So you have a young Boba who sees Din and is like ‘Ugh a fucking Mandalorian 😒😡’, verses a young Din who sees Boba and is like ‘oh a Mandalorian! 😃’. This set up is so fun to me. I wish I saw more young Bobadin because of this. Their world views and personalities are so different at this point in time. It’s such a fun idea and contrast to older, much chiller, Bobadin. Young Bobadin is complicated and probably violent lol. They’re angry young men who don’t have the temperament to talk to each other long enough to realize the other is an okay person. There’s some fun ‘enemies to friends to lovers’ dynamics you can work from this.

But, I’m not quite done with this point. So aside from their differing opinions, temperaments, cultures and views on the world, I also think there’s another reason young Boba probably wouldn’t be impressed with a young Din:

BOBA FETT IS LIKE A LEGENED? Guys, Boba is just a badass. Like come on. Dude, from childhood, half raised himself and half was raised by criminals and bounty hunters. He was in jail with adults AS A CHILD. He was on of the most infamous bounty hunters, so good at his job DARTH VADER hired him. He’s the son of Jango Fett, the like semi-disgraced Mand’alor’s heir. HIS LORE IS INSANE. Dude has had one of the most messed up childhood and life, and came out semi-on top. Boba is an icon for being beat up by the universe, and surviving just to spite everyone.

I say all this because in comparison, DIN IS KINDA GOOFY? Dude lives in a religious cult (I’m kinda joking, the covert is kinda cult-y lol) IN THE SEWERS. HE LIKE A SEWER RAT OF A MANDALORIAN. HIS ORIGINAL ARMOR LITERALLY WAS JUST HALF JUNK HALF ACTUAL ARMOR. HE’S LITERALLY A JUNK RAT OF A MAN. Dude knows only a quarter of any world politics at anytime, and knows NOTHING about Mandalorian history. LESS THAN BOBA WHO DOESN'T EVEN CLAIM TO BE MANDALORIAN. HE WINS MOST HIS FIGHTS BUT NOT BEFORE USUALLY GETTING HIS ASS BEAT AND ALMOST DYING, THEN SOMEHOW WINNING AT THE LAST MINUTE BY DOING SOMETHING INSANE. HE SEEMS TO SURVIVE BY THE SEAT OF HIS PANTS, HALF BY SKILL HALF BY BEING THE UNIVERSE’S UNINTENTIONAL MAIN CHARACTER. (I say all this lovingly, I love Din. I just also love making fun of him lol)

Basically, I think legend and bad ass of Star Wars, Boba Fett would take one look at rat boy Din Djarin and would not be impressed. But that’s more in a funny/ironic way. I’ve already given my serious, thoughtful reasons for why young Bobadin would not get along at first, but yeah it doesn’t help that Boba is like a semi-celebrity in the Bounty Hunting world and Din in comparison is like a podunk hillbilly who can’t seem to die lol.

But hey, just like canon (older) Bobadin, I think they would eventually come to like each other. It just takes longer and they probably try to kill each other a few times. Which is basically a Mandalorian’s way of flirting so it still works.

Truth or dare- Peter Parker

Y/n was never the kind of girl who had many friends, mainly because she was completely excluded from social circles at school due to her lack of boldness. Y/n wasn't one for going to parties, drinking until she dropped, and having sex with random boys just to count on her fingers how many people had already passed through her body. Unlike them, Y/n sought real connections with people who cared about her, and the only person she could think of was Peter Parker.

The boy with the brown eyes and messy curls had always been there for her, cheering her up when no one had asked her out on Valentine's Day or even when she had her first break-up in the first year of high school. Third year was about to end, and it wasn't as if she'd never done anything with a boy, but it had never been like it was with Peter.

And it all happened over a game of truth or dare.

“I don't understand how you can be team Conrad.” Y/n says to Peter while watching the show.

“I'm not, but I think he's misunderstood.” Peter retorts, settling down on the sofa in Y/n's living room.

“He was literally an asshole with Belly, and when he had the chance to date her, he just broke it off because he didn't want to get involved in a relationship after his mother died.” The girl pressed the pause button on the remote control, turning to the brunette as she explained her thesis.

“And Jeremiah has always wanted everything that was his brother's. I like him better than Conrad in some ways, but there's no denying that Conrad loved Belly and Jeremiah was just in love.” Peter turned his torso towards the girl who had the light of the television reflected on her skin and her long black silk pyjamas.

“Oh, for God's sake” The girl throws her head back, laughing to herself.

“I can't believe we're discussing 'The summer that I turned pretty', while your parents are at a fancy, expensive dinner, probably filling up on wine to catch up later.” Peter says, pulling his cell phone out of his pocket to check the time.

“Oh, Peter! Shut up, that's disgusting!” Y/n exclaims, covering her ears.

“We should do something fun.” Peter says, tossing his cell phone next to the empty candy bags and approaching his best friend.

“Like what?” The girl asked, approaching him, who gave her a thoughtful look.

“I don't know. What's your idea?” Peter replied, crossing his arms exposed by the 'Star Wars' short-sleeved shirt he was wearing.

“Truth or dare?” Y/n suggested, drawing a laugh from him.

“Just us?” Peter asks, even though he already knows the answer.

“Hey! My puppy's in the living room too, you know?” Y/n points to the other side of the room, where her puppy is camping out on a pink rug, sleeping peacefully.

The room had low lights, while some windows were open so that the cold air could enter the room and the blankets became more and more usable. It was almost a ritual that every Friday, Peter and Y/n would get together to go out after school, it could be any kind of activity, but just the two of them. Not that they didn't have other friends, but unlike anyone else, they both had an energy that no one else could match. It was as if they were the only people who really understood each other, and that made them inseparable. Some people said that friendship between a man and a woman never worked out, but for them, it was never a fact that prevented intimacy.

Peter and Y/n shared everything, even the most intimate things they could tell someone.

“Okay, okay.” Peter raises both hands in an act of surrender. “You start since you had the idea.”

“Truth or dare?” The girl asks, placing both hands between her legs.

“Truth.”

“Why did you stop liking Liz Allen?” Y/n asked, causing the brunette to react with a silent ‘wow’, drawing a laugh from her.

“Um, I kind of understood that we were never going to have anything. After I kissed her the first time, I just had that feeling that she wasn't the right person, you know? And I don't want to bet my cards on something that could go wrong.” Peter replied, staring into the tired eyes of Y/n, who was leaning back against the colorful cushions of the light sofa.

“I want the truth too.” The girl anticipates his words.

Peter thought carefully before asking, allowing his curiosity to go beyond his decency.

“Did you and your ex… you know? You never said anything, so I assumed you'd never done anything, but I don't know? Maybe you didn't want to tell me.” Peter gets lost in the middle of his explanations, causing his friend to put one of her hands over her own mouth to cover her loud laughter.

“Peter, you naughty boy.” Y/n jokes, throwing one of the pillows that was on his back at the boy, who quickly manages to catch the fluffy object. “Shit, sometimes I forget you have superpowers.”

“That's right,” he says, throwing the pillow back at the girl, who smiles and tries to cover herself with the brown blanket.

“Um, no. We didn't get past second base, but I didn't care much about that either. I think it was even better that it didn't happen, because I feel like I would have regretted it.” Y/n replied, looking at his fingers as he said it.

“And why do you think that?” Peter asks, laying his shoulder against the cushions.

“I can't say. I think it's the same thing that happened with Liz. She just… wasn't the right person, you know?” Y/n replied, smiling emotionlessly.

Peter didn't see Y/n as a possible girlfriend, not least because it had never crossed his mind that he might have feelings for her. The brunette told himself that Y/n was the only person he could ever think of breaking his heart with, as she was too valuable to him to have any other feelings for her, which would eventually end their years of friendship. However, something inside him seemed to want to jump out of his chest and propose something.

“I want a dare this time.” Peter announced.

“Wow, Peter Parker being radical.” Y/n jokes. “What do you have in mind for a challenge? Eating cinnamon?”

“Kissing you.” Peter says, causing Y/n's face to lose the smiling expression on his lips, as if his stomach had dropped.

Like Peter, Y/n didn't think of him as a possible romance, even though she occasionally dried him off in the gym when she was doing bench presses. However, there was no kind of romantic involvement that could affect their friendship to the point of breaking up, since the idea of not having each other seemed to be suffocating.

“I think the wine we drank was spoiled.” Y/n comments jokingly. “Seriously, Peter. Do you think that would be a good idea?”

“I think a bad idea would be for us to stay with people who could hurt us. If we did it together, it wouldn't be bad because we already know each other, you know?” Peter explains, standing up.

“So you're proposing that we take each other's virginity?” Y/n frowned, still feeling her heart leap out of her chest.

As much as he wanted to fight the feeling, his brain kept getting lost in a thousand and one thoughts.

“Well, it would be more yours than mine.” Peter commented, looking away, causing an insight to flash through Y/n's mind as he remembered that his best friend was no longer a virgin.

“And then we'll pretend it didn't happen?” Y/n also stood up, taking the brown blanket she had on top of her.

“I'll act however you want me to. I don't want to make you uncomfortable.” Peter says, still unable to decipher whether the questions being asked were a yes or a no.

Y/n bites her lower lip, quickly analyzing all the possible possibilities she can think of. The girl denied it to herself, taking a deep breath and giving up. The screen on her cell phone was only eight in the evening, so she would have time before her parents got home and possibly disrupted something between the two of them.

“Are you sure about this? I don't want it to be something impulsive.” Y/n confesses.

“I would never hurt you.” Peter holds one of her hands, allowing his torso to come closer to hers.

Their eyes meet in a second, as if everything is silent. Parker smiles, expressing a line, and then squeezes the delicate hands of the girl whose heart was about to burst out of her mouth.

“I want you to be able to have a good time, with someone you trust and who won't pretend they don't know you when it's over.” Peter says, drawing a silly laugh from her. “But if you don't want to, that's fine too. We pretend to be drunk and forget about it in the morning.”

Silence hangs in the air once again, and the sound of cars honking are the only sounds that can be heard. Y/n could feel her legs getting weaker and weaker, and her chest heavier as she looked at every detail of Peter. His innocent eyes, his brunette hair that came down in a few messy curls and small expression lines in his eyes from smiling too much. Y/n approaches him, making their airs mingle.

“ Is everything all right?” Y/n asked, almost touching Peter's soft lips.

“Please.” He says almost pleadingly, until their lips meet.

Peter kissed her as if he didn't want her to slip out of his arms, while the girl's delicate fingers found the boy's brunette curls.

It was a strong kiss, with a rush and readiness to do anything.And as much as they had once said that they would never think of each other in a sexual way, it seemed that their bodies didn't think so. It was urgent, suffocating and needy. Y/n ran his nails down the back of his best friend's neck, drawing a gasp from him.Peter responded with kisses that went down to her neck, leaving no marks, but rather wet spaces all over it, causing her hair to stand on end and her eyes to close. “You're so beautiful.” He says between wet kisses.

“And you're very hot.”

The girl's hands go down to the hem of Peter's pajamas, feeling his abdominal muscles and warm skin. Peter smiles to himself as he feels his best friend's cold hands touching him, not guiding her so that she feels comfortable enough to do what she feels like doing.

Peter feels his sweatpants getting tighter and tighter, while Y/n's body seems to be begging to be touched in every way. The girl's hands shyly descend briefly to the hem of the brunette's pants, but quickly return to his abdomen as if she were just playing with him. A dangerous game.

The brunette continues kissing her neck, until one of his hands passes behind the girl's ass, lifting her up and placing her on his lap without taking his lips off her. His hands began to grip her buttocks firmly, pressing them closer and closer to him. Y/n moaned low in response against Peter's ear, giving him permission to return his lips to hers, hungrier and hungrier as she was. Their tongues battled for dominance, making their tastes mingle.

“Peter.” Y/n said softly, holding his head gently.

“Yes, love.” Peter stops immediately.

“Take me to my room.” She asks with reddened lips.

“Whatever you want.”

Kakashi Hatake as your husband and the father of your child

─ ·𖥸· ─ · · · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · · · ─ ·𖥸· ─

Kakashi is the type of man who seems like he would never be ready for family life, but if you put him in that situation, he will be the best.

Just believe that you will catch countless envious glances when you arrive for yet another gynecological check-up during your pregnancy. It doesn't matter if it's a routine screening or just a check for your blood sugar levels. He won't even think about sending you alone.

His care is exceptional and unconditional, so it doesn't matter what you're doing because he won't let you do literally anything. You won't be cooking, and damn it, you'll really have to plead with him just to make yourself a cup of tea, and you can forget about getting near the washing machine.

"I swear, if I hear anything about laundry one more time, I'm going to throw that machine out and start taking our clothes to the dry cleaners."

The best thing you can do for him is to be healthy and cheerful because that's all he strives for, and I'm sure the period of your morning sickness still haunts Kakashi in his worst nightmares.

Just trust him and let him take care of you in the way only he knows how. Be patient and explain all the complexities of pregnancy to him because the books he's read are clearly not enough.

Kakashi learns quickly when he truly wants to. He has no idea what a real family should look like, but for you, he is willing to try (even if he sometimes overdoes it).

He’s the type of man who puts his wife on a pedestal and is literally ready to kiss every inch of her body, and since he found out about the pregnancy, be prepared to multiply that love by at least five.

Kakashi is definitely the kind of dad who can't say "no" to his child, and at some point, this might become a problem when parenting turns into a game of "Bad Cop – Good Cop," and you're clearly at a disadvantage. Because you’re the strict mom who doesn’t allow a chocolate bar for breakfast, while dad is so cool that he lets you lick the swings in -15°C.

But there are things he takes far too seriously. It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl (Kakashi will be happy with either outcome); you can be sure he will dote on that child like crazy, and he will do everything he can to teach them to stand up for themselves and their safety. So get ready for endless calls from school about fights and brawls your child has gotten into, and don’t expect Kakashi to think for a moment about punishing them.

I was never perfect like you thought I was :(

But please, if everything you said to me today you believe in the deepest part of your heart..

Do not become me.. or like me..

Stay the beautiful person you were.. stay the person who kept me on the right track with everything I was struggling with daily, I use to love when you asked if I had taken my medications and cared so deeply for me. Please don’t lose that in yourself you are the most sweetest & kindest human being I have ever met. You tried and you tried and you tried, the more clearer my mind is and the further back I read I see just how bad you missed me and how much it tore you apart.. so yes I AM to blame for all of this. I should have been better.. I should have been more understanding of your life situation and so much more patient.. you were and are worth the wait I was just to stupidly blind and selfish then.. I was more concerned about my own heart being crushed again and in the process of protecting myself, I crushed yours into pieces ..

You don’t need to answer any more questions from me I now know I’m the one who has turned you this cold and heartless. I’m so fucking sorry words can never even begin to explain how sorry !!!!! But I have to say it anyway even though my sorrys mean nothing to you now:(

I’m sitting here writing this thinking to myself if I could just build a Time Machine and go back in time I would change everything and maybe just maybe we would still be deeply in love..

But after today’s message from you I don’t know If I would if I could.. I had my chance with an absolute pure angel who gave me her all and all of her heart. And I messed it up.. I don’t trust myself one bit not to mess anything up ever again.. so I have no choice but to do you the nicest thing I have done in awhile now.. and just go forever without another word ..

I wish you the best in every single thing that you do, I just know you are going to be successful, you have the drive and the want to be and you will manifest that into reality.

I always admired your drive and focus, your ability to multi task life, job, and gaming while being so relyd upon in all of those areas, then when I came along you even managed to make time for me so much, we would talk literally the whole day about anything and everything, solve every issue together it was the best time of my life and the most personal growth I’ve ever gone through in what was relatively a short span of time. There are more things I love about you then there are stars in the sky so I won’t carry on and carry on about every little thing here.

But just know you were the closest thing any person in this world could ever come to being perfect. And all though you have nothing but disgust, anger, and resentment towards me for the time we spent together now.. for me I will cherish it forever, you will always be my first love at first sight you will be my first true love and my last love. (Not just an obsession like you said) when you said that it felt to me like you were saying you never loved me and it was all in my head the whole time. And if that’s really true then I’m far more crazy then I ever thought lol anyway, here I go dribbling on again .. back to the point!

I’m forever grateful for having you in my life while I did, you taught me a lot of things and opened my mind up to so much more, you helped me become more positive (all though right now I’m in a dark dark place in my head) you showed me what no other person in my life ever has, unconditional love and for that I will always be grateful always cherish it and hopefully I learn from all this.

My feelings for you will never ever change I love you for you through and through. And if you ever find it in your heart I broke so badly to forgive me.. I will be here, I will always be here

If you didn’t delete my number or every possible way of contacting me like I kinda think you have now, then you will always be able to find me and I will always welcome you back 2infinity&beyond my no longer mine.

Be good.. and get that drift car ..

I love you..

The moment you understand and can answer that question as to why they hurt you, you become them.

Becoming (a) Man’s Best Friend

Part 1

To be Living Again

Many things have changed since Danny was a kid.

He told his parents about being Phantom, and… they didn’t take it well. But it was okay! At least the only thing they did was tell him that he couldn’t stay with them, so he just moved in with Sam and Tucker.

Then there was the whole “Young Daniel, you are now the Ghost King!” speech that Clockwork had gone on and on about. Training for that job –one he never really wanted�� was tiring, but he had gotten the hang of it over the last six or so years.

He also learned that, since accepting and becoming king, he’s gained a broader power set. He can now mold and stretch the ectoplasm around him and within himself, essentially allowing him to shapeshift. (Which is so cool!)

His core has also shifted a bit, as well as his obsession, which now includes space– in both the literal and physical sense. Frostbite explained it as his presence taking up all the space around him, either absorbing everything within it or influencing it. But he’s still having a hard time really understanding what that all means.

He thinks he understood more of what Frost was talking about when his universe ended. The GIW had gone overboard, and in a desperate attempt to save the Infinite Realms, Danny –being king– ended his universe. The feel of the space in… well, space, was an odd sensation; almost hollow. It wasn’t as bad when he found out that all of Amity Park had been turned into ghosts, though, seeing as nearly all of them were liminal or more from the ecto exposure.

Having Sam, Tucker, and Jazz with him was a huge weight off his shoulders –one he didn’t even know he had. They were his everything– his family and support system. And sure, he had Ellie and Dante (the whole Danny, Dani, and future Danny thing was a lot), but Jazz and his friends had always been there with him. Fitting, really, that they were with him from the beginning to the end.

Though now… he was just annoyed with them.

“Danny, you need a break! You’ve turned into a workaholic!” Sam stressed.

“You’re just lucky you can’t work yourself to death, dude, seeing as you’re, well… dead.” Tucker grinned at his own pun, which Danny would always appreciate, but he still held a serious tone.

“So,” Sam took a deep breath. “Me, Tuck, and Jazz talked with Frost and CW, and we decided it’s time to intervene.” She looked pointedly at Danny’s turned face. (No, he wasn’t pouting, thank you.)

“You need a break, Danny. This isn’t good for your physical health or your mental health,” Jazz soothed, like always. “We’ve decided to give you a vacation.”

Danny snapped his head toward her, mouth open, protest rising in his throat. But Jazz just held up her hand.

“Before you say anything– yes, we can take care of things here. Danny, the realms ran for years before you came along. They can run just fine for a couple of months while you’re away.” She sat silently, waiting for him to get his bearings before answering.

With a sigh, Danny begrudgingly admitted that, okay, maybe he had been working a bit too much. And now that he was focusing on that fun little fact, he could almost feel the way his core ached, his ectoplasm screaming– like a wound that kept getting reopened.

Danny flinched a bit.

“Okay, yeah.” He leaned back into his chair, running a hand down his face. “Maybe I do need a break.”

He felt better seeing their faces lighten, a bit of the stress they had for him lessening. That much, he could see. And it made him feel a little bad, realizing he’d gotten so consumed with work that he hadn’t noticed he’d –accidentally, mind you– hurt his family.

But it’s okay. He can do this.

Just take a break. Not worry at all about his friends, family… the whole of the realms… or the new planets that were close to aligning.

He took a deep breath in and pulled at his hair a bit. Not the best move. If the look Jazz was sending him was anything to go by, she knew it too. But it helped ground him.

Kept him in this space.

“So, where were you guys thinking?” He glanced between all three of them, each of their smiles slowly growing.

“Clockwork is sending you to the living realm again– through the reincarnation cycle,” Sam said softly. She had probably also picked up on his little slip. Nothing ever seemed to get past her. She was almost as scary as Jazz when anyone she loved was distressed.

He frowned, now registering what she’d said. Jazz, having seemingly never taken her eyes off him, corrected that immediately.

“Danny,” she paused, biting her lip a bit. Slowly, she came closer and laid a hand on his shoulder. “You can’t not go back to the living realm. You know this. It’s what helps keep you healthy. What with you being half-alive still.” She took a breath, facing him fully now. “Frost explained it. Your human half is in hibernation right now –stagnant– while simultaneously slowing your ghost half down.”

She had now put both hands on his shoulders, bending down to look him in the eye.

“You are both alive and dead. You need to take care of both, or both will start to die, Danny. And you can’t die on me now, okay?”

She was growing a little misty-eyed. Danny did his best not to tear up as well.

“Okay.” He sucked in a sharp breath. “Okay, I’ll think it over and get back to you guys, alright?” He looked at Jazz, then glanced over at Sam and Tuck.

They all smiled.

“That’s all we can ask of you, dude.” Tucker punched his shoulder.

They stayed and talked a little more about life– after life. Danny found out that, in his work-obsessed state, Sam had been working with Undergrowth, exploring all the abandoned islands and turning them into lush forests and parks. Tucker had moved to Technus’s lair, supposedly working on a secret project. And Jazz, to the shock of no one, had moved to the Far Frozen, helping ghosts either move on or, if not, settle with the knowledge that they could be happy and content in this life.

That night, after saying goodnight to his friends and family, Danny lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what it would be like to go back.

Would he have a mom and dad again? Siblings?

What if they found out about him being half-dead and hated him?

Or, worse– what if they accepted him? Loved him regardless?

That’s what scared him the most, he thought. He knew how to deal with unloving or neglectful parents, but… loving ones? Jazz loved him, he knew that. But their situation was different. She was practically his parent, spending most of her life protecting and caring for him. He felt like being accepted was forced or maybe just instinctual for her at that point. (She tells him all the time that’s not true, but he can’t help it.)

But real, unconditional love and acceptance?

He honestly didn’t think he could handle that.

Something nudged his head.

He uncurled to see what it was. (When did he curl into a ball?)

Cujo wagged his tail happily at having Danny’s attention and licked his face.

It was a shock. Danny couldn’t help the wet laugh that escaped him. He hadn’t even realized he’d been crying. Having emotions was a real bitch sometimes. Not that Cujo minded—he just squirmed his way under the comforter to snuggle with him.

This… Danny thought. This is what I want to do. It's not far from protection; comfort practically falls under the same category. He can be someone's best friend like Cujo is to him. He can help someone through a panic attack or protect them from a bad guy. It’d be weird at first –what with being, well, a dog– but he has time to get used to it.

Sleeping that night was peaceful, his mind free of thoughts and worries. With Cujo cuddled beside him and the thought that he could help both his other half and one of his obsessions, he finally felt at ease.

Tomorrow, he’d talk to Clockwork.

So I Had a Dream the 501st Got a Dog-

This is the greatest thing I have come up with and my best contribution to this fandom.

So the 501st have just finished a battle, and unfortunately, a village was pretty much destroyed in the crossfire. They are currently helping out survivors, and Fives and Echo are looking around for people when they stumble across a big ol' dog. It’s basically an Irish Wolfhound. Actually, it straight up is an Irish Wolfhound.

The two of them decide to take it along with them and ask people if they know who it belongs to. One family says that it's their elderly neighbor's dog, but he didn't survive the fighting. So now this dog is without an owner. Fives and Echo asks if there might be anyone who can or is willing to take the dog in, and they are reminded that everyone literally just lost their homes and they have other things to worry about right now. Fives and Echo look at each other, look at the dog, and immediately sprint over to Rex with the dog in arms.

Fives: Captain, can we please keep the do-

Rex: No.

Echo: But sir-

Rex: We are not keeping the dog.

Fives: But just look at it! 

Dog: *Is adorable*

Fives: Do you have no kindness in your heart? Why would you do something so cruel to a homeless little puppy? Are you really willing to have it fend for itself in the middle of a war torn area with nobody to take care of it? Are you willing to abandon such a sweet, innocent dog?

Rex:

Rex: We'll take it back to Coruscant and find it a new home.

Fives & Echo: Yeah!

Rex: But don't get attached to it. We are not keeping it. This whole thing is temporary.

(Spoilers: It was, in fact, not temporary)

So they bring the dog onto the ship and into the barracks where Fives and Echo begin introducing it to everyone. Rex, meanwhile, is busy doing captain stuff and honestly forgets about the dog. But after they leave and are in space, he gets a call from Anakin about some reports or something. Rex suddenly realizes he completely forgot to tell Anakin about the dog or even ask him if it was okay, and begins to panic. He rushes over to the barracks and says they need to hide the dog.

Shenanigans ensue, and Anakin stumbles upon them in the middle of an attempt to hide the dog in the most ridiculous way possible.

Anakin: Um, what is going on here?

Rex: Sir, I can explain-

Fives: This is the 501st's new pet dog!

Rex: I already told you, we are not keeping the dog. We are just taking it to Coruscant to find it a new home.

Fives: General, can we keep the dog?

Rex: No, we can't-

Anakin: Sure, we can keep the dog.

Rex: *Stares into Anakin's soul*

Anakin: What? I’m technically the general, so my word is final. And I say we should keep the dog!

Rex: We’re in the military fighting in a war! We spend most of our time either on the battlefield or on this ship! How are we possibly going to be able to take care of a dog?

Anakin: We’ll figure something out!

Rex still tries to convince the others that they cannot keep the dog, but then Ahsoka comes in and immediately loves the dog.

Ahsoka: *Aggressively petting the dog* Who is this?!

Fives: We found this dog last campaign.

Ahsoka: Are we going to keep it?

Fives: You should ask the captain.

Ahsoka: *Turns to Rex with the biggest tooka eyes in existence* Rex, can we keep it?

Rex:

Rex: We can keep the dog.

There's quite a bit more (and most of the funniest stuff happens after this), and I might want to post some other stuff for this, but I'll add that stuff in separate posts. Also, feel free to send me asks about it or something.

I'm probably gonna call this the "501st Pet Dog AU" and will tag it as such. Stay tuned for more!

Edit: (Guys, I added a second and third part, and will likely be adding the 4th tomorrow. Here's the link to part 3, which has links to all previous parts)

hello! i have a question to which i’ve never gotten an answer to, so i’d really appreciate your input on this.

i’m very familiar with the fact that when we shift and our awareness is in our DR, our CR self/life goes on completely normally, however, this is what i struggle to understand: does our CR self know that we have shifted? or does that consciousness just go on assuming that it has not shifted?

thank u!

The second! Although the answer is a little more complicated than that; let me explain!

You live in your 3d, which is your little bubble that forms your physical reality. No one can affect your bubble, and you only have one. Any other reality exists on the 4d (for you).

It works this way for every single person. Which means that, although we're both existing and experiencing things, the exact version of you that I am talking to right now, might not be in my 3d anymore in 10 minutes, and vice versa!

When you shift, you change your 3d to reflect your dr. Which means that, the reality you used to be in doesn't physically exist for you in that moment, including the version of you that you left behind.

This is where the term 'clones' comes from. Because just like you script for your dr, you are able to script anything for when you come back. It's simply just specifying the exact reality you want to return to. You will never be in 100% the same reality you left behind, because you shift millions of times per second, by the time you finish reading this you're already not in the same reality anymore.

If you want your crself to have known you shifted, you can definitely just intend for that!

But, from my experience, based on times I shifted and didn't return to the exact moment I left, my crself here had no clue I shifted. He simply just thought I failed my attempt, and kept on living like normal. In one case he was quite literally in the middle of telling my best friend that I didn't shift, only for me to come back a minute or so later and realise that I did, in fact, shift.

You can assume that, if you shift, in the reality you leave behind (and that other people are still experiencing in their 3d), no one will know that you shifted unless you come back. But when you do come back you're always able to specify that you did know!💚

yall need hobbies fr. these people are just expressing themselves. they arent hurting anyone just because you're going into Their Spaces and getting mad at them. literally if you'd just never tried to put their Fucking Lives In Danger, they would not be antagonizing you and your friends. go play dbd or cod if you wanna hunt people, instead of steeping your brain in so much hate. you'd probably be way happier.

porn is ok. women and men can be and wear whatever they want. name one animal they've ACTUALLY harmed by thirsting over fictional anthropomorphic animals.

you know. the topic, is no longer about porn, or fiction. it is about real, actual, abuse, that people have faced, at the hands of wis and salems, "friends"

the topic, is about how both salem and wis, have continued to support ACTUAL, IRL RAPISTS. ACTUAL, IRL GROOMERS. people who have VICTIMIZED OTHERS. and purposely platforming them. it is not just, about sawyer. it is about torin's underaged victims. it is about majora's, victims of harassment. it is about the several people, wis has chased off tumblr, simply for disagreeing, with her. why, do none of you, ever answer that? why do all of you, go for the nothingburgers, rather than the REAL topic being discussed, which is, undeniably, that wis and salem are rape apologists, at BEST.

HOW, are their lives in danger? all people have asked them to do here, is GO OFFLINE. several times now. people have DEFENDED salem, and told bad actors, to fuck off. WE DO NOT WANT TO HURT HIM. but unfortunately, HE wants to hurt his victims. he, wants nothing more, than to permanently silence his victims, because in his head. he is THE victim, of everything. wis, literally, IS DEFENDING KIWIFARMERS, (torin, mari, and lilya), and simply accusing US, of everything she and salem do.

which. by the way. SALEM HIMSELF, HATES TORIN, and claims, torin GROOMED him. so, why does wis, continue defending her, to this day? if not just as an attempt, to bump the numbers, of sawyers supposed "victims".

so, please. explain to me, how wis ADMITTING this person is a rapist, then defending them anyways, and being racist and abusive to her victim, is in any way, ok. go on. i will wait. again. WIS HERSELF ADMITTED, SHE WAS IN THE WRONG. SALEM HIMSELF ADMITTED, HE WAS IN THE WRONG. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. they themselves, are attempting to kill sawyer. they fucking hate them.

wis herself, has even said, she is happy their "body is falling apart", just being ableist as fuck. on top, of being racist, and telling them, "ice is coming for them". is that ok, for a white person, to say that to a latino, EVER?

i doubt, you will actually answer this. but, i implore, you at LEAST look at the evidence given, before making a conclusion. wis, has given no evidence. her victims, have given nothing BUT evidence. why, do you believe word of mouth, over solid proof?

As someone who uses Signal every day, I need to explain how totally committed to being an absolute dumbass multiple people had to be in order for this security leak to happen.

Okay, so in Signal if you want to talk to multiple people you have to create a group and give it a name, for example "JD Vance Humps His Couch." You then add people from your contacts to the group. If you are a competent user of Signal, you can then restrict the permissions so that only designated admins can add people. If you are an absolute dipshit whose only job qualification is pwning the libs on Twitter, you would create a group about war plans and not know about or activate this functionality.

If you are in a group and are allowed to add members, either because you are an admin or because the admin was raised on lead paint milkshakes, you then must do the following to add someone:

Click on "JD Vance Humps His Couch"

Scroll down to "Add Members."

Select one or more people from your phone's contact list.

Click "Update"

Confirm that yes, you want to add that member.

This is impossible to do accidentally.

Then, once you have gone through the multi-step process of adding a member, an announcement appears on the screen for literally everyone in the group to see: "JD Vance Has Added Chairry to the Group." This sentence is a line in a single-stream text thread and if anyone is reading their messages they cannot miss it. (If they are not reading their messages, one might wonder why they have been included on the chat to begin with.)

At this point, anyone can say in the chat or privately, Hey JD, why are you adding the bedroom-eyed plush chair from Pee-Wee's Playhouse to our chat about your upholstery problem?

Yet nobody in the war bro chat said a thing about the new member added to the group.

One other thing: Signal is supposedly a secure chat platform, but it is only as secure as whatever else people are doing on their phones. For example, if you send someone a Signal message asking about how to best protect your sensitive man parts against the sharp springs inside the voluptuous crack of your La-Z-Boy, you will later see ads in your browser for La-Z-Boy lube because your browser is spying on the things you do on your phone, even if the tech bros say they are not.

So even if the war bro chat were not full of hires from an affirmative action program for white fascist sycophants who graduated in the top 99% of their class, and they actually practiced basic common sense and literacy in maintaining their war bro chat, it would still be an insecure way of discussing matters of national security.

wait but I wanna know why Theron's your least favorite :D explanation? (positive connotation i prommy)

Well it all started as a journey. It's a long journey, for sure, of a varying opinion change over the years of playing the game, from forces inside the game and outside the game. But I am not one to post things negatively about other people's favs out in the open so readmore it is

So we begin this journey as a wide eyed newbie player just figuring out what I wanted my legacy to be with my first knight, Leeloa. A friend was playing along with me, and I really enjoyed the Doc romance because I am definitely a fan of the 'player gets played by his own game and catches feelings' trope. Well, I get to SOR and mention to friend that I think Theron's fun and she tells me to ditch Doc because she didn't like him and thought Leeloa could do better.

I ended up remaking Leeloa because I listened then did not like that course, because it just didn't fit Leeloa. So honestly, I did like him when I first started.

But then writing happens, and it felt like he...Never developed past the whole "reckless, I do things when I do them" kind of persona, especially with the betrayal. And the more I delved into information on SWTOR, it just...Bothered me. He's descended from the hero of the original games, but oh no not force sensitive, but he's a great spy so amazing.

Why?? Because he had some Jedi training because it was expected for him to be force sensitive but oh no he WASN'T what a shock...

Except that...Doesn't really track with the Jedi and, everyone hates me, but the test for the midichlorians. They would know, they wouldn't just assume because his mom was Satele.

And somehow, despite acting in the most unspy like ways, he's a great spy. I don't know why anyone would have the Grand Master of the Jedi Council's son as a spy because that is just a huge liability.

I'll admit I haven't read the extra material because I just think it's...Kind of silly to have content outside of a video game beyond, say, a short story or a short comic.

There's just a lot of his story that if you look at it closer and in the grand scheme of Star Wars, is just absolutely ridiculous and maybe, a bit more Gary Stu than Luke.

Now then, to the writing and how he was treated in expacs. (This area is a place where Lana is also on thin fuckin ice.) The absolute favoritism shown to him by the devs drove me crazy. It started to weed away at my liking him and move me more into the exasperated/tired/neutral about him. You have this whole giant alliance, but the focus being on him and Lana so much was just annoying, especially considering it was Koth who helped the Outlander escape in the beginning chapters and how he got pushed aside. It didn't narratively feel...Cohesive and just a 'Look at the Sh*n kid go!'

The nail in the coffin is how the fandom acts about how he's a golden boy, how he gets fawned over, and honestly?? I just hate liking those characters for personal reasons. It always seems like people ignore what we're given about the character and expanding on it and, instead, ignore it and write an entirely different personality with the face they think is cute. I am huge on consistency, it's my style of writing, my preferred style of reading (thanks literary analysis class in college you ruined me), so fandom just fucked me over from liking him and while he's still friends with my knight, I try my hardest to ignore fandom with him, do my best to try to enjoy him, because I do intend to run all the game romances for gif making purposes.

Also he's really written as playersexual if you play a light side character and some conversations felt awkward like the devs were expecting you to have romanced him.
