#this isnt a brag post this is a rant post

[swagging-back-to]

also the people who keep telling me to go to collge are miserably obnoxious. according to my GED tests im already college level in every single subject. in reading and science i had the highest score possible. everything else was one point below the maximum score. going to college is a waste of my time, literally.

not good enough for you

where you feel insecure because you genuinely feel like you aren't good enough for him, but he thinks otherwise.

{CW!!: suggestive, mentions of reader wearing a skirt/dress but gn, different types of insecurities, js know you are stunning with all of that baes <3}

characters: ayato, childe, cyno, diluc, tighnari, and wanderer

- set in modern au for a few, ~1.2k words in total -

ayato: pillar of fortitude

you being insecure just influences his spending habits on you. it increases tremendously.

of course he'll comfort you, give you attention, all that jazz, but him?

he buys even more things he thinks you'll look absolutely lovely in.

dress shirts, dresses, skirts, shorts, literally anything that he might think you'll like he'll get it.

you walk out of your shared bedroom with your hands behind your back and your gaze cast to the floor timidly. ayato nearly choked on the boba he was drinking when his eyes laid on you. the way you looked up at him with your eyes all the way to how you stood, he thought you looked ethereal. "my love, how could you be insecure when you look so lovely?" he pulls you into his arms, hands going down your waist. "are you sure? " you mumbled, your eyes focused on the ground. rubbing over your hip dips before cupping your ass, ayato used his other hand to make you look up at him. "you have nothing to worry about.. let me spoil you."

childe: tartaglia (did my man WRONG)

he honestly thinks you're joking when you first tell him, that's how good looking you are.

he hypes you up a LOT more than usual, making sure you feel extra special before anything.

being so fr, he's the type to comment first and most under your instagram posts

most definitely brags about you on his socials as well, has a highlight for you and everything

cyno: judicator of secrets

"childe, why am i getting hundreds of notifications? from YOUR account?" your boyfriend shrugs as if he doesn't know what he did, replying with a simple, "just making you feel good, that's all." after going to the notifications, your heart gets more and more full as you read the compliments he paints your phone screen with. they all came with such love and adoration which varies from "THATS MY S/O RIGHT THERE YOU GUYS!!!" to dumb pick up lines that have you rolling your eyes. you smile softly as you like every single one of his comments, pinning one at the top of your post. despite his cheesiness, you know from all of these that childe truly does think you're the prettiest.

his jokes slowly turn into cheesy pick up lines about how pretty you are, like those REALLY bad ones

its sort of misleading at first and makes you think he's doesn't care, and trust me he does! he's just bad at words of affirmation

not to mention, i believe he tells you you're so pretty and amazing and beautiful and just EVERYTHING in bed

he's totally up for fucking you in front of a mirror to get it through your head about how pretty you are

when he walks into your small shared apartment after a grocery run, he sees you staring into the mirror. you're poking your stomach fat around your belly button, sighing softly. he comes up behind you, kissing your neck softly as he wraps his arms around your hips. cyno digs in his pocket to pull out a small card, before saying, "good thing i have my library card, because i'm checking you out." you look up at him with an attempt at a deadpan, which morphs into a moan as he starts touching your hips, slowly going lower. "if you can't understand how gorgeous you are, i'll make sure you know by tonight."

diluc: the dark side of dawn

he would for sure be such a good person to talk to about your insecurities to and receive comfort

i think that when he was younger, he was also a little insecure about his appearance because of his hair and eyes, since it wasn't normal (i js know that when kaeya came around he got less and less insecure as he grew up but THIS ISNT ABT THEM.)

he would kiss every insecurity and go on rants about how much he loves them, because he loves every part of you

for the sex life? things like stretch marks make him go FERAL. literally all of your beautiful insecurities make him FERAL

as you let out a small moan, diluc spreads your legs open and start kissing up and down your thighs. your stretch marks were more prominent in the moonlight coming from the window, and that alone made him hard. "you're so beautiful my dear.." he took his finger and traced over them. when you looked down, your eyes widen to see him, looking at them like how people look at constellations in the sky. looking at them with such admiration, diluc kissed them over and over. "so pretty.. let me make your pretty body feel good."

tighnari: verdant strider

he would 100% accidently turn it into a lecture about self-confidence and would go on and ON

after knowing about your insecurities, he would bring flowers from his research and give them to you, they reminded him of you

although he would comfort you plenty, he is one sassy ass fox so he would be very sarcastic when you do bring yourself down

he would list all of your achievements while calling you the dumbest person he's ever met

"yeah you are pretty dumb now that i think about it." your heart dropped as those words came out of his mouth. before you can say something, tighnari continues. "it's not like you won the nationwide botany fair for sumeru or anything." your lips formed a pout as you spoke, "but you were my partner! of course we got won." he rolled his eyes before looking at you with a deadpan expression; "did you forget i was sick the whole time? you had to do it by yourself." a shy "oh" left your lips while his arm wrapped around your waist. "have more confidence in yourself you big lummox."

wanderer: eons adrift (named kunikuzushi for convenience)

he's like tighnari in a way, but much more heavy on the sarcastic and snide comments

he can't really comfort you because he can't even believe that he's good enough for you

tries his best though, always makes an effort to compliment you, even if the compliment is very choppy

isn't the best person to go to for insecurities plaguing your mind but it's nice to be around him anyways

you yelp in pain as kunikuzushi flicks your forehead out of annoyance. "shut it, you're giving me a headache." you sigh, "i'm being serious kuni, i really don't think that i look good enough for you." as your teary eyes dart to the ground, you feel his arms wrap around you. "you are so annoying.. of course your good enough. more than good enough you dumb fuck." you smile a little at his harsh words, knowing that's his way of comfort. while trying to stop your tears from falling, you couldn't hear his soft words in your hair. "you're so fucking pretty, i hate when you say otherwise dumbass."

i did a mini rant about it on twitter, but i want, and need, to say this here as well

it is sickening to see all media everywhere parrot israeli propaganda and lies while actively ignoring what they are doing to palestine, but especially so seeing it all being done just as much in germany, it feels even more personal bc shouldnt WE be the ones MOST critical of anyone enacting genocide?? a lesson to take from our awful, shitty, horrific history isnt we cannot criticize jewish people ever at all but that genocide is BAD

its seems like they are afraid of being called antisemitic by some people who dont know shit about whats going on so much so that theyd rather support a full blown genocide of 2 MILLION people, and it just

it scares me

i feel like a stranger in my own home, im avoiding news on radio and TV bc it feels like they are trying to brainwash me to cheer for the oppressors; we were responsible for a 5+ million genocide and now the media and politicians want us to support one of 2 million more??? what the fuck???

"well there are some evil people in this country we have been colonizing for years, guess we are gonna have to wall the entire region off so noone can leave and kill every single human life there, sorry, we had no other choice, dont look at us openly bragging about pulverizing a hospital filled to the brim with people seeking shelter from our 6000 mega bombs we dropped within a few days on this region, then calling palestinians 'children of darkness' and us the 'children of light', delete those posts, then change who we want to blame it on every few minutes bc people are starting to see through our lies, but dont you see? the bad people could have been anywhere, we had to, that hospital wasnt the first and wont be the last tho, so sad uwu"

how insane do you have to be to hear that and go "ah yes, that is very logical and justified and totally not obvious lies, heres a billion of currency and a metric fuckton of weapons to kill them all more efficiently, have fun and good luck"

?????????

if you think supporting palestine and wanting isreal to stop bombing them means you automatically support hamas you have no fucking idea what you are talking about actually and you need to educate yourself right about now, urgently

if you think the acts of one terror organisation represent an entire country and thus everyone living in it deserves to die for it, what the fuck is wrong with you there definitely are some horrible fascist, violent cults in the US, there absolutely are some in germany as well, do they represent the entire population of either countries and thus every single thing alive within its borders needs to die horrificly???

why did i have to sit in school trying not to cry my eyes out looking at fotos of piles of tortured, dead people, visit whats left over from concentration camps with all its looming feeling of doom, not even being able to stomach going into the building itself bc it made me want to vomit just being there and learn about every sickening detail of our awful history when im now here seeing and hearing it all over again, but this time im supposed to cheer for the oppressors?

i am appalled of so many countries being so complicit in supporting yet another genocide, but i am especially ashamed of my own. again.

free palestine.

punch out boxers and what they would be cancelled for (if they would be even cancellable)

hey besties, im back with another dumb post

"But moe, how the fuck does the cancellable-ness scale work?"

great question, you simply have to use common sense, for example: if you were to see someone chuck a entire dumbell into the crowd that would probably make you say "that isnt okay. what is wrong with that bitch" You can add your own opinions to this and play around with the ratings

_______

Glass Joe - being french using a headgear that has clearly been modified against a child, 1/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, not cancelled but absolutely MURDERED on the internet to hell and back

Von Kaiser - the most you can get him on is screaming at a 17 year old boy, 2/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, also made fun of on the internet for getting his shit rocked by children three times

Disco Kid - not much you can accuse him of, 0/10 on the cancellable-ness scale and pretty loved on the internet

King Hippo - taping a entire ass manhole to his stomach, probably causing some people to fall and clubbing a child with his fists, maybe a 4/10, not loved but not hated either on the internet

Piston Hondo - Literally nothing, he bows, he reads manga, he cooks, he punches, he runs and he does it all respectfully, 0/10 on the cancellable-ness scale and loved a whole lot

bear hugger - taking a squirrel into the ring and also clubbing a child, 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, Just a lot of "is the squirrel okay" stuff

great tiger - cloning himself while fighting a child and having tiger skin on his corner (old ref to past game and i needed to include that because why not), that Tiger skin rug ramps him up to a 4/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, 2/10 if you dont include it

Don Flamenco - chucking perfume bottles on the floor and bragging to a 17 year old that he gets bitches, 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, a point lowered because he loves carmen and the internet loves power couples

Aran Ryan - putting horseshoes in his gloves, headbutting a child, using a flail also loaded with horseshoes, stealing macs gloves, headbutting the ref and having a bad haircut probably gets you at least one angry rant, 7/10 on the cancellable-ness scale (that was a big jump from "yeah this dudes done some questionable stuff but hes ok" to "bring me the pitchforks and torches")

Soda Popinski - using steroids publicly, going apeshit on a child for knocking out his bottle out of his hands, that lands him at a 5/10 on the cancellable-ness scale

Bald bull - being a generally angry person, chucking a entire ass dumbell into a crowd, charging at the ref and hitting his head in the corner, that lands him at a generous 8/10, unless he gets therapy, its staying high

Super Macho Man - as a breath of fresh air, you can only point out the fact that hes dilfbaiting, And for that im giving him a 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale

Mr Sandman - totalling a entire building is the only thing you can get mad at him for, And tbh its kinda fair for him to get pissed off, 4/10 on the cancellable-ness if you count the destruction, 1/10 if you dont

[bidokja]

you know, i didn't realize/appreciate this the first time i read overgeared, but chapter one already gives you a really good look at the multiple facets of Greed's character and complexes.

if you're just barely starting the series, you may think his personality is anjoying, and that greed praising himself for having patience and tenacity is an empty brag or a joke. but it really isn't. those traits are genuinely his best virtues, proven time and time again. even just in chapter one, we learn he's not exactly a high leveled player. he's an average nobody who sucks at most parts of the game. he had the insane luck to land an s-ranked quest that was FAR beyond his capabilities, and instead of running from it he gave it all he had. unlike most other munchkin series...this does not miraculously end well. it is disastrous from beginning to end. he dies a ton of times (and dying comes with penalties in this game), he breaks a lot of gear, and wastes a lot of money, and spirals further and further into his identity as an "embarrassment" and "failure". he still doesn't give up through all of that. most people would have. and thus, literally through sheer persistence, he actually does it. the madlad finds the objective of the quest. so he has every right to call himself patient and tenacious. it's these exact qualities that got him this far.

but in the end, this comes to ruin due to another of greed's personality traits. his vices rather than his virtues: his lack of self worth, his feelings of inferiority, and his greed for any means to change his situation. in the end he can't even complete the quest (despite technically achieving the objective) because the earl notices greed coveting the book, and decides to kill him (aside: I'm with greed on this one. it was a dick move on the earl's part, but that's a rant for another post).

still, even amidst him shouting about what is clearly his insecurities, notice how his first concern isn't how people view him specifically. it's how his failures have impacted his loved ones. it's not just that he wants bragging rights. greed is aware of how his previous failures have impacted his family - both financially and emotionally - and he wants to set things right For Their Sakes. he doesn't want to burden his family, and be a cause for embarrassment to them. this aspect is what he first thinks of, and can be seen as his priority rathrr than soothing his own feelings of infrriority. that isnt to say his inferiority complex doesnt come into play. in the very same paragraph we see him wanting to rise above others and show off any success he has. really stick it to em. but even this isn't pronounced in a malicious sense. he doesn't want to bring others down, he wants to raise his own standing.

and finally, the part I think is just as important if not most important: his reputation with the NPCs

we only really learn this in subsequent chapters, but the NPCs in the game are extremely advanced. functionally, they act no differently than real people. you don't max out reputation with an entire entire city through luck or coincidence. there's no preset dialogue options, there's no plus and minus popups, and there's no way to simply butter up to everyone in the same way. to get close and be trusted by an NPC in this game, you must go about it like you would for a real person. you have to talk with them, learn how best to help each person, and follow through with it. essentially, through this one line, we get a peek at a Major aspect of greeds personality: unlike most players, he treats NPCs like people. and he treats them well. he's a genuine guy who - at his core - likes people and doesn't want others to suffer. real life hardships and mistakes have simply not given him the circumstances to do so freely, but in-game this is different. we first see the good in greed's character thanks to his actions in game. and it's also through the game that greed himself grows and realizes his not some horrible perpetual fuckup that can't do anything right. it's through the game that he realizes his potential to help and support others, and grows to become responsible and capable enough to follow it all through, and carry that on into real life.

Tw big vent/rant post

i fucking hate school :3

Yes i know teenager cliche whatever.

Its not that. I hear people saying things about me i hear them plotting things against me i hear and sometimes see people wanting to hurt me and im not sure what is real and what isnt. I know that parts of it are real, people are talking about me behind my bacl. But i also know parts of it arent real and its just my brain. I hate going to that place.

But yea of course i should just ignore all of that i cant change it anyways so i just gotta live amd stop complaining according to my parents

they say they care. They cry and feel sorry that i am how i am. They say its okay and not my fault Except when my mental illness also affects them. Im only allowed to be mentally ill if im still functioning

i also fucking hate the process of trying to get help. Its so dehumanising for some reason? I have to accept being misgenderd and deadnamed constantly because its too complicated for them to remember our chosen names. I have to accept being treated shittily because the other psych ward would treat me even shittier

I feel like i still havent gotten over that psychward stay. It made everything so much worse. I felt like a feral animal that had to be caged. I felt like less than human. The staff often treated us like shit. We had to strip down naked in front of a staff member to get searched for drugs or anything illegal. We got screamed at and mocked and not taken seriously. We got stupid comments on our bodies and eating habits. Certain staff members bragged about knowing the trans patients dead names

i should be thankful for that psychward stay because it was the forst step towards therapy. But i kind of regret it. I still have nightmares about all the screaming

[trollmaniac]

deciding to post this to the tumblr community to comment because this has started to frustrate me to no end.

i have an ex-friend who tried to sabotage me in high school (it failed because surprise! im a nice person who minds their business 99% of the time). she has always tried to get into some kind of singing as a professional career, whether it be songwriting, musicals, whatever. problem is she has no singing talent. because of this, she has decided to use the drag community to flaunt her “singing skills” and get the attention of as many people as possible.

before i delve into why this is an issue, let me explain: she is mentally ill. she did not have a good childhood. parents were also pretty shitty. i have tried confronting her before about this with a little “hey maybe seek therapy and/or meds, im sure all of your friends will support you” and she proceeded to tell me that all of her friends left her (supposedly because of this), tried 1 (one) therapist and found they “didnt help”, are on 3 different meds (????? okay. was this to brag to me or something? cool, i guess), and she wanted to keep this “private” (after posting it to all of her instagram followers to talk about her struggles). i tried messaging again with something along the lines of “therapy takes time and you might not have the right therapist, also all of instagram doesnt make this very private now does it” and i got blocked, of course. because she doesnt listen to any negative comments and instead cuts out those people from her life. sure, whatever, you do you hun.

my issue is this; ive been told she advertises everywhere she can that she is a Cisgender, Heterosexual Woman (cool) who is also a drag queen (not as cool). i would be cool with this if she was an ally, but shes sticking her nose into somewhere she shouldnt. because of the kind and acceptive nature of the drag community (and LGBTQ+ community and general), they took her in and allowed her to perform as a drag queen. her singing is still questionable, but now she’s parading around as what my town likes to think of as their very own LGBTQ+ drag queen icon that they can also flaunt to show our town isnt homophobic or whatever.

i would have no problem with this if she was a drag king! the point of drag is to challenge gender sterotypes, is it not (correct me if im wrong, but be nice about it lol)? but shes just…. putting on some makeup and a wig and saying “okay i can perform here now”. and you know how i said my town thinks she’s pretty neat? whoever organized the pride parade this year had her LEAD THE PARADE. and my nonbinary friend, who had just undergone top surgery, went to the parade of course because why shouldnt they participate in pride? they were damn determined to go lol. so then little miss pageant or whatever strolls up to them and their siblings during the parade and goes “omg hiiiiii do you remember me???” and “thanks so much for coming!!!!” as if it was her parade or something. like no. dont thank anyone who went. this is their parade, not yours. fuck off. but i cant tell her that. no one can, because she’ll remove them from her life. all we’ve been able to do so far is watch and be entertained from afar because she wont take any direct confrontation if it isnt praising her and her “talent”.

anyway yes im angry and yes im posting this, but im not going to tag it because part of me wants it to sink into the void of tumblr and never be seen again. i have a feeling someone is going to go and flip this whole rant to make it look like im a villain or something because i didnt source facts or i misworded something, yada yada, you get it. but if someone reads this and go “yeah, i agree, what the fuck is up with that?”, then i think that would be pretty neat.

[mystical-imagine]

Met that cousin last weekend. He's rascist trash that turns every conversation into a debate and is obsessed with ""winning"" those debates- because apperently, convincing himself everyone else is dumb is the only way he can feel intelligent.

He also thought "i never cry" is a brag. Okay? congratulation you emotionally stunted manchild. I had to repeatedly say "you can keep talking for as long as you want but I'm not listening".

Lmao i told him that if i met him at a bar, and overheard him say those things i would (if i actually had any physical strength what so ever) punch him. Anyway he laughed because he thought it was a joke but i was being 100% serious jesus c h r i s t

Anyway, sorry for the negativity, im done now :)

[libraford]

oh my god, I just realised I've spent maybe half an hour going through your blog and you used to have a stalker and I'm possibly weirding you out. uh, I'm so sorry!! I just do this with my favourite people from time to time!

Okay, so let me kind of... explain? Because I dont find random people going on a binge read of my blog to be stalker. That's just normal tumblr behavior.

The stalker in question... was my direct supervisor at the flower shop.

He found out that I was using tumblr as a space to vent and since he was the source of a LOT of my rants because he really was... just awful to me.

Now you have to understand that my username did not resemble in any way the name that they knew me by, he didnt have a tumblr himself, and so there had to be a deliberate effort to find me. For the distinct purpose of making my work life uncomfortable and removing me from a safe space to vent.

Meanwhile, he was making death threats against coworkers on his social media, so double standard.

So its 2018, my privacy has been violated, and he's habitually reading my posts in his free time because he cant help himself, hes so self-obsessed- aren't you, Coach. You cant handle a single person disliking you for any reason. He comes upon a post where in talking about his tendency to cheat on his wife which he fucking bragged about loudly inside the shop, and his wife sees it over his shoulder. Now hes in the doghouse. Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that he cheated, he decides to shoot the messenger.

Now I'm ostracized, no one will talk to me, work is hell, and theres no way out and theres nowhere I can go about it because I know hes reading everything about himself.

And it eventually died down when my boss stepped in and said to stop looking at my shit, but I know for a fact that he still did. So I had to change my username and pic and hope for the best but sometimes I still think hes looking because as I said: dude is so insecure he cant help himself.

It's been years and hes out of my life, but I'm still cautious about people looking for reasons to abuse my trust. This is why some of my stories are written with code names, partial truths, obfuscated locations. I talk about shows, but I dont advertise their locations. Dates are vague. This arguably makes storytelling difficult, but its necessary for safety reasons.

So.

You getting caught in the endless scroll of the blog of the person whose content you enjoy isnt really... the same. You enjoying my stories,my posts, my slice of life stuff, my photos... it doesnt make me feel unsafe and it doesnt really have the same real-world consequences as someone I spend every day with using my vent space as ammunition.

You're fine. You clearly dont have any malicious intent. You can scroll guilt-free.

[blazeismyname]

AGHHH, STAY SAFEE PLEASEEE!!!! CARMILLA ISNT RWADY TO MAKE YOU A MECH YET!!!!! (Trynna stay ligh hearted but for real, stay safe!)

Also! Will be making a Master do as soon as possible since this thread is a mess! It will most likely be started around next week, before I start the actual writing (for clarity for myself and others who are desperately trying to keep track of this thread LMAO-)

I screamed like, multiple times throughout your post and have started literally growling when I get excited thinking about this btw, it's getting insane.

ANYWAYS!!! TOO MY IDIOT RANTS!

OHMIGOSH- Everyone being from different places in Europe all forming together at this castle... it leans so hard into the vibrant cast and misfit vibes they're giving off while also being kinda parallel to canon with all the Mechs being from different parts of space!!!! I'm consuming them allll.... Jonny and Nastya have to be adopted then because I refuse to think about French Jonny-

UGH AND CARMILLA THREATENING MAMA BEAR ON ANYONE WHO THINKS BRIAN BEING ODD IS BAD... IM FALLING TO ME KNEES AND SLAMMING THE GROUND AND SOBBING.... AND LIKE, THE IDEA OF AN OFF HANDED, "Grab me the wrech rust head." IS KILLINF ME- AND ALSO HER THREATENINF MARIUS BUT AINCE BRIAN IS SO KIND AND EVERYTHING HE JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD LIKE "Mama, please don't hurt anyone"

AGH, YOU PUT THEIR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP INTO WORDS BETTER AGHHH

TAHNKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU FOR COMPLIMWNTING MY WRITING, ILL GO INTO IN A BIT, BUT IT MEANS EVERYTHING

Agahgahghagagaggagghggg, Nastya telling Jonny sorry and tucks the rose.. Gravels and sobs... Carmilla probably hesitating from upstairs... Ugh, and Jonny feeling betrayed (he's not being betrayed, this is literally for the best) and he probably acted horribly to her after she does hee silly little magic glow (I LOVED THAT PART BTW)

UGH- AND BRIAN GETTING AUDITORY SENSORY OVERLOAD... GROWLS!!! It also makes me think about him mayhe having some physical sensory issues? Like, he's been through a lot of physical through, so maybe, even if his skin is now metal, he's more prone to shutting down with too much feelings or at certain feelings? Idk, just a thought

AND YES, BRIAN HELPING JONNY EITH HIS SENSORY ISSUES... THE AUTISTIC MEN......... UGHH...........

AND ALL FOURS JONNY HES JUST AGHHH... WHEN BRIAN MAKES IT TO THE ROSE (maybe, on a second thought, it's been a good time, and Aurora kinda guides him to it to show him how little time there is (its doesnt come acrosss sadly)) AND JONNY FINDS HIM AND GETS ON ALL FOURS.. ANGRILY GROWLING AND BRIAN FALLS TO THE GROUND, STSRTING TO CRY AS JONNY CLAWS FORWARD, SCREAMING AND YELLING!!!@ AND ALSO ITD REALLY HIT BRIAN IN THE TRAUMA- this is um... derailed from the all fours

Marius would absolutely. And somehow nobody notices until Lyf... Marius is bragging about his height, and Lyf is like, "Bastard, you are wearing shoes that are half your height to be taller. Nu uh."

UGH, AND THE SILLY CONFESSIONS!!! GROWLS-

Also, consider the garden being overruned until Brian comes along and fixes it because gardening Brian... ahgghgahdhbdnem

OH UH. I WAS SINGING LOST IN THE COSMOS AND HAD AN IDEA.. I CAN BARELY REMEMBER BUT I THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH HIM BEING LONELY. ILL EXXPAMD ON THAT LATER SINCE I FORGOR AND ITS GETTING LATE

Also, not talking about anything... Just want to say thank yall for putting up with my annoying autistic ass and every time you compliment my writing, it makes me feel so good. I have a kinda trauma (idk if it's really that??? It might be) with people I trusted going behind my back and calling my writing shit and to hear unbiased people say it's good makes me so fuckin happy... This whole thread also makes me feel part of something really fun and good and I'm so proud of everyone who contributed hehe

Anyways. Thanks. I'm gonna go post some doodles and get back to writinngggg

Beauty and the Beast, but it's the Mechanisms.

Jonny must be the beast because feral Jonny and the whole heart thing... prove me wrong.

Tim or Brian is Belle.

Rest of the Mechs are the servants in the Beast's house. With an exception for Marius as Gaston cause I can totally fucking see it. He would suck at it though because it's Marius. And also, short Marius HC.

This is probably not new. But it's been brewing in my head for a good few months, ever since I put my Mechs OC in the iconic Belle dress.

haikyuu boys as insecurities they find attractive/they’d help you with pt.2

[akaashi, bokuto, oikawa, atsumu]

a/n: i’m a little dumb and forgot to open my asks, but they’re open now! akaashi’s drabble hits close to home cuz this literally happened to me yesterday :| i’m gonna make these with fewer characters cuz the first post was too long LMAO

tw: body image issues, low self esteem, cussing etc. slight angst with a lot of fluff + some humor

AKAASHI is a quietly loving s/o. he prefers to care for you in ways that are subtle and consistent rather than big romantic gestures. but when you’re ready to leave the house wearing a baggy hoodie and sweatpants in 90° weather he can’t help but ask why. he says something like, “y/n, it’s too hot outside to wear that. why don’t we find you something more comfortable to wear.” you avoid eye contact and mumble a response, “i was wearing a tank top, but my friends kept saying my spine stuck out and laughed about it... i’m too SKINNY, ‘kaashi. i eat more than bokuto, but nothing helps.” he has a pained look on his face, but he listens to you rant about your insecurities. you thought he wouldn’t remember, but when you’re in bed that night he comes behind you and leaves a trail of small kisses down your spine. when he’s finished, he reassures you. “there’s nothing wrong with you, sweetheart. i think you’re perfect.”

BOKUTO is the most loving boyfriend you could ever ask for. he loves to brag about you and show you off to anyone who will listen. but when you shy away from his pda, it breaks his heart a little. (emo mode on 10) it triggers his sensitivity to rejection, which triggers immense feelings of guilt from you. he’ll avoid eye contact and ask quietly, “are you mad at me?” seeing him get so upset over you makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry. you manage to respond with, “not at all, bo. i’m just too shy and when everyone looks at us it makes me uncomfortable. honestly, i’m just UNCOMFORTABLE WITH PDA. i love that you’re proud of me but i can’t take having everyone’s eyes on us. i’m sorry bo, you deserve someone who loves the attention you give and doesn’t get embarrassed so easily, i’m sorr-” he cuts you off. “i didn’t even think about whether or not it would make you uncomfortable, so i’m the one who should be sorry. we don’t have to do anything in front of people! we can save it all for private!! i really love you, babe! i won’t do anything to make you nervous again, okay?” you can’t help but laugh at his enthusiasm to make you feel safe. you grab his hand and his eyes widen, you just said pda makes you uncomfortable?? “how about we hold hands for now? and later if i feel more comfortable, we can add other small things.” “okay!!! :D”

OIKAWA is one of the most talented people around. of course, talent comes with fangirls. it’s like your own personal hell. he never understands why you get distant after games, sometimes not even talking to him until the next day. when he approaches you about the subject, he’d never thought you’d say you have TRUST ISSUES. i mean sometimes it can seem like he’s flirting, but that’s just his charming persona. you have to explain it to him in a way that he’d understand. “toru, you haven’t done anything to betray my trust, but i have a bad history with guys being dishonest and i don’t really trust anyone fully. especially when you flirt with those girls.. i know it’s superficial but can you at least make it known that you have a girlfriend?” he gives you a funny look before answering, “everyone knows i have a girlfriend! last night, i was talking to a few girls about where i should take you to dinner this week. i know they seem flirty, but they respect our relationship. and even the ones that don’t, they know i’m happy with you.” you let out a sigh of relief, but still needed more reassurance. “you would tell me if something happened, right?” you asked him. he let out a chuckle and embraced you in a tight hug. “of course, baby. i tell you everything. you don’t have to trust me right away, but i promise to always be honest with you, alright?” (pls can we stop making fanon oikawa seem like a lying cheating whore he’s literally a good guy omfg)

ATSUMU doesn’t go falling in love with just anyone. they have to intrigue him, which doesn’t happen often. but you did right from the start. you were a foreign student who had just learned japanese. you could say exactly what you needed to, but your ACCENT made you hard to understand sometimes. it frustrated you beyond wits end that you couldn’t say certain things properly, but he adored the way you spoke. not everyone did, though. a couple of snobby teachers pointed out the fact that you sounded foreign. when atsumu found you crying about how you hated your accent, he was pissed at whoever made you feel like an outsider. “well i love yer accent, doll. i know it can be tough, and i have a bit of an accent myself, but i’d love’ta help ya in any way i can. now if you need help pronouncing a word, just come ta me and i’ll tell ya how ta say it, okay?”

atsumu bonus: you took his offer seriously and in no time, you were walking around talking just like atsumu. his little phrases and all. the team was horrified, but it made atsumu’s heart swell that you trusted him to teach you. (PLS ISNT THIS SO CUTE OMFG)

FACETIME WITH THE HQ BOYS

-> headcanons on what facetime with the hq boys would be like!!

pairings: iwaizumi x gn!reader, tanaka x gn!reader, nishinoya x gn!reader, kita x gn!reader

warnings/genre: fluff, some language, mentions of being drunk

—iwaizumi hajime

facetiming you is actually one of iwaizumi’s favorite thing to do!!

he likes being able to see you and talk to you even if it’s not in person

it becomes a routine to facetime while you do homework during the week or before you go to sleep on fridays

he listens in on all your rants and even gives advice sometimes

he’s a Team Mom so he has all the tea, will 100% spill it to you half asleep at 1 in the morning

it’s mostly just him ranting about oikawa lmao

he’s also the one who’s like “go to sleep” when his eyes are half closed and he’s obviously the one about to pass out

doesnt take that much screenshots, though he will if you laugh really hard or make a cute face

but he would also insult oikawa to make you laugh and then take a quick screenshot (it becomes his lockscreen)

constantly scolding you about “being too loud” or “staying up too late” when he’s doing it too 😐

he’s probably the one that falls asleep first though when he isnt he takes a bunch of screenshots and sends them you with captions like “you fell asleep dumbass” or “told you you should’ve slept”

if he’s feeling really soft he’ll send a picture of you asleep with smth sweet like “you look cute” or “❤️” he’s trying i swear

since he gets sleepy he will definitely just say random bs and it’s so funny!! but but that also means he will get soft and tell you he wants to marry you and raise a family (he wants a son and daughter SO bad okay)

—tanaka ryuunosuke

he uses every opportunity he gets to talk to you

he will text you “hey babe wyd wanna ft?” and then facetime you 30 seconds later without waiting for a response

constantly taking screenshots. you never get a good view of his face because of it

most excellent listener on earth. need someone to rant to? turn to him. have a speech you’re practicing? have him listen. need advice on what to wear to your aunt’s wedding? he’ll rate every outfit for you.

occasionally he’ll ask you for advice, though it’s pretty much him asking you for help on homework 💀

will definitely pull an all-nighter with you even though his body is begging him to sleep. hypes you up the entire time

if you’re doing smth independently and he’s not talking and it’s silent for a sec, he’ll just blurt out a random compliment out of nowhere like

you: ✍️✍️✍️

tanaka:

tanaka: hey babe you’re cute lol

sometimes he’ll be talking and he’ll go on a little tangent and have the audacity to apologize for ranting

consensual king so he asks before he posts his screenshots, when he does he puts smth like “ft with bae 😍” as the caption. it’s very concerning but he’s trying his best <3

plots his entire future w you... especially if he’s tired and his head is a little blurry. deadass will pull out a google doc and plot how your wedding will go, where you go for your honeymoon, where you live, baby names, all that jazz. he will get so embarrassed if you bring it up later but he is dead serious about it

if you’re doing homework there’s a good chance he’s not so he’ll just be scrolling through his fyp on ft with you... will randomly burst out laughing and send the tiktok to you begging you to watch it

—nishinoya yuu

facetimes you whenever he likes and it’s usually at the ungodly hours of the night

he just straight up calls you out of nowhere at the most random times. 8/10 it’s at 3 in the morning on a school night and he’s bored so he wants to talk to you

he’s really good at carrying a convo so he ends up talking with you for hours?? and it’s about the most ridiculous things too

asks you to teach him a tiktok dance at 1 in the morning and will do it for you.

KAROKE!! he knows the yarichin theme by heart and will sing it for you pLEASE

he loves ur smile sm so he tries his hardest to make you laugh and takes screenshots

his favorite thing to do other than talk is play truth or dare... he always picks dare and sometimes always breaks 😭

sometimes he’ll go quiet randomly and you find him just staring at you, then he’ll say he loves you in that voice of his (SBSSHSHZJ HES SO HOT)

the ft calls usually end when he tires himself out and falls asleep mid-sentence. just stay on the call anyway so you can hear his morning voice so he can say gm to you <3

i have no idea how he does it but somehow nishinoya wakes up before you and sends you screenshots of you sleeping with captions like “ur so cute when you sleep baby” or “sleepy baby :(“

a picture of you sleeping is ur new contact photo and lock screen and he brags about it

—kita shinsuke

facetimes you every night to check on you

he expects these to be very quick but ends up on call with you for hours

semi-talkative, will ask you questions like if you’re eating okay and hydrating or if you need help on your homework

he just loves being around you, especially if it’s just quiet time existing together

will help you with your homework 100%. walks it through with you and regularly checks to make sure you’re getting it. he’ll say he’s proud of you if you get a question right!

has a sixth sense when you need to vent. if you’re quiet and like doing hw he’ll just say “love, is everything alright?” and suddenly you’re spilling everything and he’s nodding along and giving you advice

LOVES HEARING YOU LAUGH!! especially if you’re the type that gets giggly when it’s late!! you’ll catch him smiling so much

he secretly loves it if you fall asleep on ft!! will say a soft “i love you, sleep well” and then he texts you a long paragraph about how he loves you and is proud of you and that he hopes you rest well (marry!! him!!)

if he wants to take a screenshot he’ll take it and then ask you if he can keep it. consensual king we stan 😤‼️

okay i headcanon that kita gets rlly talkative when he’s really sleepy (or drunk but we aren’t talking about that shh) so if he’s still on ft with you when he gets sleepy he just talks. tease him about it in the morning he’ll get so blushy

In defence of Boa Hancock, again

To preface: today I encountered an ask with a response so bad it made me boil with anger:

the op hates Hancock’s character, which is something I try to accept despite my personal feelings, however I do not believe its disrespectful to post this, its a public post on a social media forum and I don’t have enough followers that can make harassment campaigns possible.

So right now, I will refute their points bit by bit, each time copypasting their words into quotation marks, and my refutations below.

Their words:

“ Can you imagine how outraged the fandom would be, if they were cisswapped? For two seconds, let’s imagine a Luffyko & male!Boa: there would be oodles & oodles of posts about how he’s sexually harassing Luffyko, how No means No, & breaking down the fact that this character is not a good person by any means. That doesn’t happen though, because Boa’s a woman & Luffy’s a 17 yr old in this screenshot. “

Nope. Sanji turned to stone when seeing Shirahoshi because of the sheer lust he was feeling at the time, and then went on acting servile and adoring around her, serving her tea because she’s a woman/girl he’s attracted to, like many:

And Shirahoshi is 16, Sanji was 21. Brook asked to see Shirahoshi’s panties, and asked this question to many other women. The fandom in general doesn’t seem to care, which is a problem. Their actions are creepy, but no one cares.

But what makes me truly angry is the one screenshot they try to use to prove that Boa’s predatory:

this one. “Luffy’s only 17 in this screenshot”, they say. 

“What’s the context for this image?”-you might ask. The answer: sure as fucking hell not Boa trying to seduce or take advantage of Luffy. Here, she is revealing the brand on her back that would forever mark her as property, as less than human for life. Its an eternal reminder to her of the years of abuse and trauma she went through as a child. She is definetely not being “seductive” or sexual here, and nudity isnt the same as being sexual, especially not in this context.

It enrages me that they try to portray this shot where Boa is opening up about her abuse and trauma as her trying to “sexually harassing” Luffy. 

they then goes on about how men can be raped and abused by women, which is true but Hancock has done absolutely nothing abusive to Luffy, not in the screenshot unless you count trying to kill him as “abuse”. 

“Bias that men can’t be abused influences do-Gooder purity warriors that try to claim Sanji’s a sexual predator”- they say, a quote I feel distasteful. I dont think Sanji’s a sexual predator but if you do like him and ignore his behavior towards girls younger than Luffy, then you are just as hypocritical.

“ There is no reason why a 29 yr old should be almost violently, definitely insistently pursuing a 17 yr old. It’s disgusting, it’s creepy, it’s gross. Her tragic backstory does not give her leeway either. “

Boa Hancock has never been “violent”, nor said or done anything inappropriate to Luffy. She fantasizes about being his wife sure, and the agegap is awkward, but she acts like a 12 year old girl experiencing her first crush. She’s so naive that she thinks Luffy’s hug means they are married. It is very likely, if not explicitly canon that she doesnt know how healthy adult relationships function because of her whole backstory. That is the reason it’s impossible for me to see her as predatory, not because of gender but because how innocent she actually is when it comes to sex and romance.

Luffy is also not a tactful person; he would tell her if her behavior creeps him out but never does, showing that Boa’s actions doesnt make him uncomfortable at all.

And yes, her backstory does explain a lot, and it is the entire reason I sympathize with her despite her actions, which aren’t even that bad when compared to other pirates.

They then claim that during the infiltration of Impel Down, Hancock “made everything about herself and how she is going to marry Luffy”, somehow proving that she’s “selfish” and “irredeemable”, then they claim “Boa Hancock is the same character archetype as other One Piece villains, just obsessed with her beauty and ability to exploit people for her own gain” and “she knows what she is doing is wrong, she brags about it even”.

This made me almost as angry as the use of the screenshot.

Boa fawns over Luffy during the Impel Down escape, but to say she isnt “selfless” enough despite the fact that she’s breaking into a maximum security prison where visitors like her have to be completely helpless, a place controlled by the very people who enslaved her when she was a child. 

A single word from Magellan, someone in the World Government, or the Celestial Dragons themselves and she would have been doomed. What if she was searched and the brand identifying her as a slave was discovered? What if the Celestial Dragons have long known that she is their former slave and the World Government has been waiting for an opportunity to catch her in a situation like this so they can take her back to Mariejois and “return” her to the Celestial Dragons? Those are real, valid, and terrifying concerns for someone in Hancock’s position, and yet she did it all anyway for Luffy.

Yes, she fantasized about Luffy loving her during the infiltration, but y’know, that is ridiculous to focus on when characters like Sanji rants about wanting to cook and dote on women the straw hats are trying to save, fantasizing about being their “prince charming”. The SH themselves never aid innocents unless to help someone they befriended, they are not gonna intervene in a conflict even if thousands of people die. So no, Boa would never help anyone she didnt care about, she helps Luffy because she loves him and to focus on the 5 seconds she fantasizes about their “romance” is silly and shitty.

About her “boasting” about the bad things she’s done, words arent the same as actions and her shown actions were not shown to be worse than any other pirate. She turns other pirates and marines to stone, but Mihawk killed almost 5000 people just to pass the time and he gets no flack for it. The SH have contributed directly to the death of marines who just do their jobs. Her kicking baby seals, throwing away expensive gems and destroying children’s statues are petty things I dont care about, and just part of a persona to dissuade others from thinking she’s weak, she doesnt truly believe her own people would love her unconditionally if she spends years lying to them about her past. Hancock is no remorseless murderer like Enel and Crocodile, the reason she became a schischibukai was to protect her people.

As for surrounding herself with “enablers”, there’s not exactly any living person other than Nyon and Rayleigh who knows about her past and she can open up to. Her own culture demands she show no weakness, which would make that even harder.

I want your take on this.

fic asks! 1, 15 (mine are a tie between vamp!au, dirty game and time series. also genie!au. and turner pov on general principle. also neighborhood.), 23, 44, 62

1. How long ago did you start reading fanfiction? Writing fanfiction?

ummm reading, i *think* like mid-teens probably? but, yknow, time, the past, number, concepts, it’s all very hazy.

writing...LET ME CONSULT MY FILES. so apparently i wrote 3 in 2008, which i dont think ive read since...2008. and i think i wrote another one in my head and never set a word down, and idk if that was before or after but im guessing round then...?

but the first one i posted was the first gg one and that was... june 2019

(look at me acknowledging the concept of time and shit!)

15. Tell the author your favourite fic of theirs. What’s your (the author’s) favourite fic you’ve written?

completely appropriate response to the notion of making a choice, j’approuve  <3 

ummm i dont think i have a favourite. and if i try to answer this question i go the wrong way round of like WELL IT’S NOT THAT ONE AND IT’S CERTAINLY NOT THAT ONE EITHER, which i think like....isnt the right approach to stuff you’ve made probably...?

and, idk, i like the Range!

reject the question on grounds of not vibing with it

23. What’s your absolute favourite trope to write?

this is a good question! the extent to which i love READING about fake dating, you’d think that’d be the answer, and yet ive never written it, nor do i have plans to.

i guess it’s probs enemies (to friends) to lovers/shifting sands of that type, slow burn type 2, bedsharing but bad, sex with some kind of competitive component to it, roleplay but bad.... but do i like writing those tropes or so they just slot well in the bethnrio dynamic???

44. Rant about something writing related.

MORE PPL SHOULD RINSE SEAN PAUL FOR WRITING THE LINE ‘I DON’T MEAN TO BRAG, EVERY DAY I GOT TO SHAG’

??????!???!?!?

62. Who finds this bit funnier, Meg or Lauren?

impossible to tell!!!!

[cultofthepigeon]

im just gonna save all my wednesday rant stuff here and then post it at the end of the day and see how that treats me and my wrath

-i appreciate xmen trying to be all Girl Boss but i cant stress enough how low the stakes are since theyre immortal and how cheering on storm kitty and emma is the equivalent of cheering on the kardashians for "clapping back" at other celebs on twitter

-didnt that cable kid literally JUST get his ass handed to him in a tournament? but now hes head of security at a spaceship? gotta love that neopotism. im refering to him as mutant jared kushner going forward

-also just weekly reminder if you support the xmen youre def the type of person who defends gaming companies on twitter and raises money to get billionaires baby strollers and def would lick boots as long as they had a Woke company logo on it :/

-god GOD i have to keep focused on this week and not get into last weeks shit jesus christ (love the undertones of Killing Yourself Leading To Happiness from that sofia bitch and the aurua twins doing the super powered equivalent of bragging about their own farts ANYWAYS)

-emma frost

-i spaced out for a sec there and tbh i think just emma frost in anything is self explanitory on why its bad.

-"countries that recognize our soverignty" bitch you live on a tree and declared yourselves humanities new gods literally get bent. what you gonna do if a country doesnt recognize your lil cult? not res the humans that die there? oh wait you literally already do that

-i love seeing a rich white woman character play the Super Badass Ruler but also Super Opressed Minority tropes its great the vomit in my mouth tastes great

-love seeing mr. ewing point out the galactic empire isnt on friendly terms with krakoa since they literally have a cult dedicated to hating the kings mother in law lol. since hes usually got sense in his writing maybe we'll finally get to see someone point out how fucking awful krakoa is

-hearing about how amazing krakoa is and how its just Better at everything than every other society feels like some weird colonization undercurrwent.

-also in 2020 i dont understand how everyones cheering on a society of a powerful few who aim to rule over the rest? who live in a utopia and leave everyone not in their race to rot? does that not perfectly mirror current modern society? do you not see youre not the mutants in this story but the inferior humans? youre not a temporarily embarassed millionaire. did yall get excited when Trump got top line covid treatment? lol jk jk i already know you did

-this jagoff calling magneto "my lord" god do i even have to go into that

[plaguedghosts]

You're not goblincore you dont try hard enough some of us try hard on our blogs and you dont see us bragging about our follower count

yikes! :(

I'm sorry, I didn't know that there was a gatekeeper to this community to tell who is and isn't part of the aesthetic. I am sorry that my definition and your definition of "goblincore", which I call gremlincore due to the negative connotations of the word "goblin", are completely different. This is my blog and I will run it the way I run it, I will reblog what ever I want, and I will post whatever I want. Please do not tell me how to run my blog. If  I want to rant about something, then I will. If I want to post/reblog a meme I think is funny, then I will. I will do what I please, when I please, so dont tell me what to do. 

How is posting that I reached a certain follower count bragging, I think it is a milestone, and it excites me that this many people like what i post and reblog. I am guessing you are not one of them because of your snarky, nasty attitude that isnt cute whatsoever. 

Clean up your attitude and come back not being a gatekeeping brat.
