#this was long!

[bleach-your-panties]

Hi Rosie! How are you? I’ve been wanting to answer this all day once I saw the questions for today but I was at work.

QOTD: What attracted you to your favs? Their looks, personality, struggle, determination? Or something else?

The stereotypical tall dark and handsome are my types. Personality wise I love the mysterious boys. I’m also a sucker for bad boys. I also tend to look at my favs hair. Long hair like Suguru is so hot.

Oops Satoru and Toshiro are glaring at me.

But honestly I go by looks and personality. Looks wise I love my favs eyes and hair *cough* Toshiro and Satoru *cough* I’m a sucker for blue eyes. And of course I’m a sucker for Satoru’s undercut and Toshiro’s hair.

TOTD: Is your fav rough in bed or softer? Do they like to pound you into the mattress or do they hold your hands and gaze into your eyes during lovemaking?

Hmm for my guys I have to say it depends on their mood. They both are doms, but they can be soft when they want to be. However when they have a bad day either due to the higher ups, in Satoru’s case, or some issue going on in the Soul Society, Toshiro’s case, they tend to be rougher. They honestly want to fuck all the stress away but they do make sure to take care of me after.

Satoru could be sweet when he wants to be. But he could also be rough and dominant which I don’t mind. He tends to be more in control and always wants me looking at him.

Toshiro on the other hand loves to be soft yet dominant. He loves to be holding my hand and staring into my eyes when he finishes.

What about you?

Heyyy, that's ok, bby!

OOOOO, these are HAWT!

I definitely agree with you on the hair and eyes; long hair on a man is SO sexy and I LOVE blue eyes (Izuru, Armin, Mirio, Chifuyu, Kisaki, etc..),

Toshiro was my fav when I started watching Bleach because of his voice and eyes.

I have an affinity for blondies and redheads myself🤭

For me, usually it's looks + personality that draws me to a character, as well as their backstory, goals, and struggles.

If I can root for a character, that makes me like them even more. Especially characters seen as the underdogs.

I see a lot of myself in my favs, as well:

Izuru - his struggles with depression, self-worth, taking on a lot of responsibility

Armin - high intellect + doubting his leadership abilities

Tamaki - shyness, anxiety, fear of public speaking, low-self esteem/self-confidence

Just to name a few.

As for the bedroom 😏...

My sweetie pie Izuru is def a switch and a soft dom. He is usually soft, but I love when he brings out his rough/dominant side.

I def expect to be tied up later if I was running off at the mouth a little, or if he's had a rough day at work. He provides the most amazing aftercare though, and always makes me tea after he fucks my throat raw 🤭

Tamaki is also a switch, but he's a hard dom and a brat tamer.

I know you're thinking, "not shy, anxious Tamaki who wouldn't hurt a butterfly!" PLEASE✋🏽

This is Pro-Hero Suneater, TAMAKI "LET'S GET FREAKY" AMAJIKI I'm referring to here 🤣🤣

He does not fuck around when he's in dom mode, and yes, he uses the tentacles. Often. At my request.

what inspired cruel summer?

it’s seriously probably the best fic i’ve ever read (and i’ve read a lot lol) but there’s just so much detail and intense plot points and i have no idea how you came up with all of it

first of all, I'm elated at your kind words. thank you so much. it is truly so humbling and exciting when people tell me they love Cruel Summer! so thank you so so so so so so much!

secondly--what a question!

I am a horror girl through and through. I love every type of horror movie, but have always been partial to slashers and supernatural stories. figured I could make a love child with the both of them and make this story.

I'm also so inspired by past decades--especially the 1980s. what a peculiar time!

I feel like when I think of the 80s, I think of kinky hair and colorful taffeta and scrunchies and Cyndi Lauper. but there was also something so horrific about it, too! ultra conservatism combined with the satanic panic and the threat of nuclear warfare...I mean, what a fever dream!

I was definitely inspired by 80s slashers like Friday the 13th, but I was also heavily inspired by modern horror and its take on grief as the central antagonist. plus the imagery of blood and guts in movies like Blood Feast and Assassination Nation.

super inspired by the images of nostalgic summer camp, especially as someone who was a camp counselor for three years! and the thought of being responsible for so many lives under such dire circumstances!

at the end of the day, I'm a pretty rotten-flower writer (which is what I call it when writers write a beautiful scene and juxtapose it with foul language or themes) and literal nature inspires me a lot.

plus humans just inspire me. touching noses with another human when we love them, putting cotton over cuts when we're injured, salt leaking from our eyes when we're sad--it's all so intriguing.

an accomplice turned victim his apology, long overdue

[nondivisable]

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
