GREAT NEWS EVERYONE THE EMO BOY IVE BEEN MAKING OUT WITH IS 1) STILL WEARING BLACK SKINY JEANS And 2) IS TRANS

[magentagalaxies]

"tour of duty" (the filmed version of their 2002 tour) in general is just kind of a bizarre point for kids in the hall that i haven't really talked to any of them about but is hard not to notice when you look at their entire canon. like it's certainly good - there are some tour-original sketches that i highly enjoy and some live versions of filmed sketches that take a fun creative spin on it, but in general things just feel noticeably strange.

buddy cole specifically tells the fur trappers to "fuck off" (buddy very rarely swears and across all the buddy material i've watched for the documentary he's only said "fuck" 3 times across forty years). danny husk wins an award for being a high school vice principal and at&love isn't acknowledged in the bit. the "is he?" sketch has been revised to pack in as many euphemisms for gay as possible, putting the bit on top of another bit. and of course i have my chicken lady thoughts but i don't want to bias anyone else bc i genuinely want to know what your takes are before i share mine.

and again these aren't all bad choices - i think the danny husk vice principal monologue works really well and may not work as well as a different character despite contradicting the Husk Lore™️. but they're all very distinctive choices

idk there's two reasons i personally give for why tour of duty is so strange (to me at least, maybe other people don't notice). the first is that it comes less than 3 years after their other tour-film, the 1999/2000 tour "same guys new dresses" (also available on youtube!) i fucking love SGND and i'll be up front that it's my preferred kith tour video. but part of what makes SGND so special is that it's not just a recording of the live show, it's a full tour documentary following the guys traveling across the country performing together, occasionally showing full sketches but also delving into the stories behind why the sketches played out the way they did. and, sure, sometimes that means cutting out a sketch that i wish i could've seen in full (rip power of the suburbs) but my life is so much better for having seen the "laser eye surgery gossip" or knowing how much drama that goddamn robot-dog-prop caused.

so to then see tour of duty as a straight-up recording of the live show leaves that element of mystery, that we don't get to know why choices were made because we only see the end result. there was a conscious decision not to shoot tour of duty like SGND - the tour doc didn't do well financially, and they also had more of a reason to document that tour since it was their first time working together since the disastrous fallout of "brain candy," and first big national tour since the show ended. the circumstances were just very different

and that's true both personally and politically bc the second suspected reason for tour of duty's weird tone is you can obviously tell 9/11 just happened. two sketches directly reference it - bruce and mark's businessman characters sell scam patriotic products that are all just a rubber band, and buddy cole visits the middle east and ends up having sex with saddam hussein (tho fun fact this concept was written BEFORE 9/11). but the event casts an obvious shadow, especially since both the buddy cole bit and the danny husk monologue were recycled pieces from scott's cancelled one-man-show which was set to debut in new york city on september 19th 2001.

it's also interesting comparing this to SGND. the late 90s are often remembered through rose-tinted glasses due to a generally good economy in the united states and a lot of the social tensions with disenfranchised groups still bubbling under the surface rather than being talked about openly. SGND doesn't reference contemporary events much, but the closure of AT&Love from the KITH finale is undone since the economy has re-entered "rock-on fashion," and buddy cole comments on the Y2K computer bug being underwhelming. (i also went on a super long tangent on how the original show reflected the socioeconomic climate of the 90s but that's a whole other topic i need to go to bed)

i don't know how the KITH feel about "tour of duty." i can't know how much this strangeness was felt for them backstage, and i think in some regards it can only be picked up on as an outsider, albeit an outsider who has watched so much KITH content to know how their work evolved even when not on television. all in all, i'm glad "tour of duty" exists and even the swings that didn't really land for me are still admirable as creative choices.

it's also cool to analyze as someone who has now been to a KITH live show over 2 decades later and got to see those behind-the-scenes conversations play out. the bellini benefit also featured a lot of strangeness, caused by a limited rehearsal schedule and one of the cast members being unable to attend due to illness, but they absolutely exceeded these limitations to put on a very fun show. we did film the performance and rehearsals and that show is going to be released eventually (i'm not in charge of it but the person who is also works on the buddy cole doc so i'm involved). i don't know if it's going to be presented more like SGND or tour of duty or something completely different, but it'll be cool to be part of KITH live show canon

“That big, dumb, smile”

Cody Rhodes x fem reader

Warnings- none!

Type- fluff

A/n- shout out to Drew for giving me this idea and getting me out of the small slump I was in. Fr tho after this I’ll start posting what I promised, love you guys 🫶

You groaned as you sat down, your body killing you.

It was unfortunately one of those matches where your body took everything personal, so you were in an insane amount of pain.

“Sweetheart, are you okay?”

You opened your eyes to see your husband, Cody Rhodes, approaching you in your shared locker room.

“I’m fine darling, just a little sore.”

He rubbed your shoulders, releasing some of the pain in your upper body.

You cracked out a small smile, watching him mold his face with an even bigger one.

That big dumb smile.

“I have to go for my match, but when I get done I’m taking you home and getting you in a warm bath. I love you sunshine”

“I love you too pumpkin”

“Sweetheart? Where are you?”

“I’m in here!”

You called out from your shared home gym, standing in front of the weights you were just lifting.

Your shirt was drenched in sweat, and you were huffing from the intense workout.

“I was wondering where you were, it was starting to freak me out a bit.”

You turned towards him and walked over, wrapping your arms around him and laying your head on his chest. Almost instinctively he wrapped both of his arms around you, one resting on the back of your head, the other on your waist.

He kissed the top of your head, causing you to look up at him.

That big dumb smile was there.

You traced his “Dream” tattoo and just took in him.

“Want to go take a shower together darling? We have a big night ahead of us”

You looked up again and stood on your toes, placing a kiss on his cheek.

“Of course, anything with you darling”

You sat in the chair next to Cody’s hospital bed. He had just got back from his surgery on his pec.

Honestly you were a bit frustrated.

He knew he would hurt him more if he done that stupid match in hell in a cell.

But he did it anyways.

Ultimately you couldn’t control what he did, but you tried to convince him against it with no avail.

You heard him stir and looked up, seeing him wake up slowly.

“Pumpkin? How are you feeling?”

You reached out and rubbed his cheek gently, feeling him lean into your touch.

“Felt better.”

You just smiled softly and kissed his head. He was still slightly under the pain medicine, but it didn’t fail.

He showed that big dumb smile, placing a small kiss on the inside of your hand.

“Your recovery will be over before you know it”

You squealed and jumped up and down, watching Cody throw Gunther over the top rope.

He finally did it, he was gonna headline wrestlemania.

You watched him celebrate, hands still covering your mouth. This was insane for both of you, having him work so hard just to come back in time to have a spot in the rumble.

You looked on your phone, seeing all the “congrats!” Messages from family and friends. You responded to a few, basically shaking from excitement.

You heard the door swing open and jumped up, running to the man you were able to call your husband.

Instantly he picked you up, kissing your lips and grabbing you desperately.

You laughed into the kiss, holding onto his neck.

He pulled back and laughed with you.

Smiling that big dumb smile.

“I’m so proud of you baby, you’ll be the champ in no time!”

He just smiled more and kissed you again, taking in every moment.

You gave Cody a tight lipped smile as he walked back into his locker room.

He didn’t win the title.

He just shrugged and sat down next to you, pulling you into his lap.

“It’s alright sweetheart, at least you’re not injured.”

He hummed in agreement, resting his head in the crook of your neck.

“I don’t think this is entirely a bad thing though.”

“What do you mean?”

You rubbed the back of his head.

“It’s easier to take off time without the championship.”

“Why would I need to take time off dear?”

He looked up at you, a bit of confusion laced across his features.

“For the baby of course.”

His eyes widened for a second.

“Baby?”

You nodded and bit your lip.

“You’re pregnant y/n?”

You nodded once more, watching his eyes light up.

Along with that big dumb smile.

He didn’t know you were standing in the doorway watching them.

Cody was holding your 5 month old daughter in the nursery, kissing her head and stomach.

You watched her laugh and smile as Cody gave her all the attention in the world.

And you saw how Cody looked at her, like she was the only thing in the entire world.

She was just like her father.

She had his eyes.

But most importantly,

She had the same big dumb smile that he had.

That damned big dumb smile.

[femboyhunting]

So speaking of Mikie......how big is it....? 🤔

His heart? So big! He's got a lot of love to give and he'll give it all to you.

But yeah the shween is legitimately huge in canon, in game. I didn't even make this happen, he started off with an average penis. It's a side effect of getting kidnapped to the underground farm and turned into a cow. He also had tits for a bit there as a consequence of of the cow tf. Just a pair of absolute honkers. Hated it, made his life hell in objectively hilarious ways. He kept getting detention because he couldn't go to swim class. If he went in the men's locker room they'd all freak out because they thought he was a chick but if he went in the girls locker room they freaked out because he was a man. It was such a funny gameplay loop to me. It's not my fault I got collosal mommy milkers and a monster shlong that just won't quit, it's Remy's!! Also when Mikie came back Sydney immediately started calling him "my girlfriend". Which. Like, my man's a little confused but I appreciate the energy. So anyway the tits had to go.

Diversity win! This cis man had to get top surgery for his tits he got from being transformed into a cow. Actually it was just pills.

The monster shlong he kept tho, he likes it. He also really liked the horns and misses them.

[gizm0-gadgetz]

I was looking for these. Various sketches of Gadget interacting with the mechs, dunno how accurate all of them are tho (these are kinda old

Plus two comics specifically with Toy Solider

I just don't think it would know what top surgery is lol. Also diversity win! This cannibal is Trans!

[librariangayballstits]

I get second hand euphoria from my spouses top surgery. Like lemme explain.

We had been together over two years when we got the surgery scheduled. And all that time the picture I had of him in my mind wasn't in line with material reality. Something was always off and it felt so fucking weird and bad to look at him and not truly see him.

Then after the surgery, like immediatly after even tho he was all bandaged up and still dopey on drugs something clicked in my head. 'This is correct!'

Then after healing and getting to see him bare chested, god I just felt so happy for him. And everything felt right. The dissonance of my mental image and what I saw was gone and that space was filled with joy, happiness and euphoria.

It's pretty amazing to awe him flaunting around without a shirt on. So happy and clearly feeling right in himself.

Side note: this is why t4t is amazing. Why it matters. We can relate, share our pain and rejoice over the wins we get in our transitions.

[dima-pafl-real]

the way i had top surgery was wild actually. they refused to give it to me, but i knew how to rupture mutants organs so i might as well. accidentally fuked myself up with telekinesis so bad they had to operate tho which i guess is a win too

Chapter Seven

Might be a few days for the next part, travelling for my surgery :3c

So many people reading now tho, hi! 👋

TW: Unwanted touching/groping, mention of miscarriage, parental death mention

Quaritch watched your resting form across by the banshees. His own had shifted to lay closer to you, not quite touching you, but definitely shielding you from the others. He worried somewhat, Spider had said they were carnivorous, were you in any danger from them? As if reading his mind Spider propped himself up on one arm.

"You want to kill Y/N?" Quaritch's head snapped towards him.

"What?! No." Spider laughed at his sudden response. Miles regretted being so candid with him, he should have made a dumb joke. 'Yeah kid every other second'. Something daft, light-hearted, something to get the kid further from the truth of his feelings.

"Well then, they'll be fine. Your Ikran will reflect your will towards them." Spider settled back down. Quaritch expected some mocking comment, that was the kids normal MO.

"So..." Here it comes. "What do you think of Y/N?" Quaritch chocked a little.

"Nope. Not having this conversation" Quaritch flopped down.

"You're not subtle, I just wanna clear things up..."

"Not whats happening kid. They're a captive to keep you in line and that's it. End of it." Quaritch would rather fall off the cliff again than hear another word about this. He did not want to talk about this with anyone, especially not with your son. Spider for his part kept his mouth shut but he could see his smirk.

There's no way he approved. This person was like a parent to him and he was the enemy. Though Quaritch had noted Spider softening to him. He caught his expression when he flew back up out of the gorge, the kid had been near tears. He cared for him, he didn't know to what extent yet but he was happy to let this flourish. He might not be the original Miles Quaritch but he hoped the kid would take him as a substitute, maybe an improvement. He'd come to terms with the fact he wanted him in his life. The kid was human after all, he could get him a place in the world he'd help carve out for humanity. Spider was a long way still from seeing him as family but he could get there if he could keep him on his side.

Your change in attitude could prove helpful in this. He might have written off you obviously checking him out the previous night, no harm done in looking, he'd done his fair share when you weren't paying attention. He was not ready to write off today's behavior however, he saw your face too when he flew back up. You grinning up at him, relieved, then cheering for him on top of that, he'd eaten that up.

He'd preened himself around the camp that night. Riding high on your ego stroke, the biggest mount, least injured by the affair and now Spider's full attention. He'd babbled next to him, excitedly sharing everything he knew of the banshees, desperately wanting to know what flying was like. Apparently the Sullys had never taken him up into the air.

"Well you'll be up there tomorrow, right with me." He puffed his chest. A win against Sully. Giving the kid something even his supposed people never offered him.

"Yeah..." He smile faltered.

"What is it kid?" Quaritch rested his hand on his shoulder, for the first time Spider didn't shake him off.

"I'll never really know what it's like, I'll never get my own."

"Spider..."

That's when you'd approached, Spider excusing himself with a joke and plodding off to the others. Quaritch couldn't dwell long on his worry however. Your hands on him was too much to ignore. His mind drifted back to what you'd said about 'tsaheylu', the thought had drifted past then but he focused on it now. Could he do that to you? If he did what would that mean for you both?

You were so close, your scent overwhelming him. He imagined swinging his legs closed, trapping you against him. He closed his eyes a moment, focusing on the feeling of your hands running up his arms, stopping at his neck. Over the bite you'd given him. He opened his eyes again suddenly grabbing you wrist more gently than he'd gripped you before. He couldn't stay this close to you, as nice as you'd been acting today he didn't think you'd take as kindly to what he'd do just yet.

Laying awake now, he watched you sleep. The gentle swell and fall of your chest, the way your hip exaggerated when you lay on your side. He decided he could have it all. Spider was already so close to accepting him properly, he would kill Jake Sully and he would make you his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning broke and you woke up in a similar way to the last. Sitting up and feeling something heavy drop into your lap. This time to your shock however it was the large head of 'Cupcake', as Quaritch had called him. Cupcake rose, shaking awake. He bumped his long head against yours, rubbing affectionately. You giggled, allowing him to mess your hair up and reaching up to hold his face. You cooed at the beast, he was far sweeter than Jake's Bob had ever been.

Quaritch cleared his throat next to you. Straightening up suddenly you turned your attention to him. Your smile quickly returned, noticing Cupcake had done the exaxr same next to you. You couldn't help another giggle.

"Cupcake is a strange one"

"Cupcake?" Quaritch quirked an eyebrow up, offering you his hand to get up.

Confused you responded taking his hand. The cuffs made everything harder you justified. "Cupcake, that's what you called him before?"

"Oh" Quaritch laughed a little "Suppose I did, more of a nickname."

You removed your hand from hia, smoothing out your shawl.

"Do you have another name for him then?" You weren't sure what cupcake meant, it wasn't a nickname you'd heard from any of the English speakers you'd met before.

"Nah, Cupcake will have to do" He put his hands on his hips. Spider appeared around him.

"Cupcake it is!" He exclaimed moving to touch his neck. Cupcake moved into his hand, pulling his chin up to give plenty of access to be pet. It was awfully strange Ikran behavior from what you had seen before. Most Ikrans certainly tolerated the people in their riders life. Though Bob had let Jake's young children pet him, maybe Cupcake recognized Spider as Quaritch's.

"Who's Y/N riding with?" Spider turned back to Quaritch. You hadn't really thought about it yourself. You hadn't been given the chance to fight for your own, not that you thought you'd have managed. Though the recoms hadn't cared for the tradition of it they'd fought well for them, you never trained for such things.

"Wainfleet'll take them" Quaritch walked back over to the others, giving orders. You prickled at this, you'd have been happy to ride with Zdog, though perhaps since both her and Mansk were more injured they wouldn't be suited to having a passenger. Still the idea of riding with Lyle disgusted you. He only seemed to get bolder with each day and you did not want to spend hours clinging to his back.

Quaritch mounted Cupcake, pulling an excited Spider up and in front of him.

"Head out!" He ordered, Cupcake taking to the edge to begin his flight.

"Wait the restraints?" You moved a few steps forward before you felt rough hands grab your underarms and haul you up. You squealed and heard Lyle's laugh too close to your ears. He manhandled you into the space in front of him, his hands pulling your hips back and towards him. You swatted him off the best you could with still bound hands, hissing over your shoulder.

"Suit yourself buttercup, just don't want the boss chewing me out for dropping your ass" He held both hands up in surrender but you didn't like the way he smiled at you. You grumbled, pinching his mounts body between your thighs and holding her neck for balance.

Lyle took off roughly sending you falling back against him again. The day continued on like this, you'd pull away or create as much space as you could then he'd veer or drop in just the right way to send you back to him. The first couple of times you could have thought it was an accident, it was only his second flight after all, but as the day wore on you were furious. He was doing this on purpose.

You'd been passing over the swamp lands for an hour or so now. You barely registered them passing bellow you. Lyle had put his hand on your leg after the last quick swerve and had been progressively reaching it higher and higher. You wanted to bite it off but there was little you could do trapped in the air with him. Any action could cause you to fall, could you call to Zdog? Would she help? She'd hissed at him before for you, maybe she could scare him off. She was too far back from you, the wind would sweep your voice away before it reached her.

"Copy that. We're coming in for a landing there." Lyle spoke into your ear, reaching an arm past you to point at a large patch of solid land, rivers threading around either side. That hand dropped down and held your waist, the other now on your thigh began to slip to the inside.

You saw red. You were clawing and hissing, pushing him.

"Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch me!" You scream at him, swinging your cuffed hands together at him. He kept a grip on you, shouting for you to calm down, to stay still while he landed.

As soon as you were close enough to the ground you began kicking him. You pushed off, falling hard onto the moss bellow. The others landed, quickly dismounting to come check what was happening. Quaritch's features were set in a line, he was angry. You didn't care in the moment, scrambling up.

Lyle had his hands up, spouting some lies, calling you crazy. You roared at him swinging to kick him in his gut. He was a more experienced fighter than you however, catching your ankle.

"Quit it buttercup!" He spat out at you.

"Let her go." Quaritch commanded. Lyle scoffed dropping your ankle, you stumbled back. Quaritch caught your shoulders, before passing you off to Spider. He touched your arm sympathetically before returning his glare to Lyle.

"You don't touch her." Quaritch got into Lyles space, his face humorless. He jabbed a finger against Wainfleet's chest. "Got it?"

Wainfleets body language changed in an instant. His swaying tail stilled, his ears tipped down.

"Yes sir." He bowed his head, not looking at Quaritch. There was a tension still in the air. Neither man seemed quite ready to back down, Quaritch's tail thrashing behind him.

Zdog cleared her throat loudly. Attention turned to her, a fight abandoned. You still wanted blood, Lyle's to be precise. The recoms regrouped, planning next steps, where to further their search for the Sullys.

You missed them you realised, you're anger with them had lessened in your days since reuniting with Spider. You'd come to understand Neytiri better, she was like you, doing whatever she had to do for her children. You laid a hand on Spider's shoulder beside you, he looked up sympathetically at you.

"I'll have to break his fingers first chance I get" Spider wrapped an arm around you. You smiled down at him, his stripes were wearing away.

"Thank you." You took in your surroundings now, home. The deep greens and muddy yellows of the rivers plantlife snaked through the lands you'd spent your happiest and worst moments of childhood. Rusty coloured ferns that you'd played with the other children in, deep blue leafy plants you'd use to hide in from your lessons. The water was still bloodied with the chemicals that poisoned your teacher, your mother's unborn, then her. It hurt to be here, your heart ached for all that you'd lost.

Spider sensed your pain, walking you gently over to where Mansk had began preparations for a fire. He looked up at you this time, catching your eye, though through his sunglasses you weren't sure. His ears tipped down and he looked away again, tail swishing unsettled behind him. You weren't sure why he acted so strange towards you. It was submissive, a more exaggerated version of how men had acted around your Tsahìk. Especially when her mate was in a fold mood.

Quaritch sat next to you. He was grinding his teeth, still angry. You supposed to keep the peace you'd promised Spider, you would have to apologize for attacking his man. The thought sickened you, to apologize for his man's unwarranted actions. No it was not your fault that creature couldn't keep his hands to himself.

"I'm sorry about Lyle." Quaritch looked strained. You kept your eyes locked on his profile, not entirely sure he had actually said what you thoughthe had. "He's dealt with. You'll be riding with myself or Zdog from now on." His shoulders were still squared, tensed with anger. You followed his line of sight to Wainfleet, who sat off alone with his Ikran. He'd never been upset at you, you felt relived, letting out a deep breathe.

"Thank you Quaritch." He turned to face you now, eyes darting about your face before meeting yours. It still made your cheeks burn to make eye contact, especially this close.

"Miles. Call me Miles." His voice was soft as if he spoke only for you to hear. Putting his hand out to you.

"Miles" you repeated back. It felt strange on your tongue, most human names did. He smiled at you though, you found yourself smiling back, reaching your hand out to him too.

He laughed, taking yours where it hung and shaking it properly.

"A pleasure"

[loganhowlet4t]

Heya, fellow trans masc American here. I’m younger and I’m just so genuinely horrified that we willingly chose an open and proud facing, and now we’re just saying the quiet parts out loud. I’m not on hurt, won’t be able to get top surgery for years, a nod alegal name change is still over a year away. I’m so scared, and so are my friends.

I guess I’m also pissed, but it’s so frustrating seeing just how apathetic people are. I had a brief conversation today with another trans person, and I sorta jokingly asked them, “how does it feel to only have a few months of rights left”, and he was like, “oh, no I don’t like trump but I think my rights are safe.”. I mentioned how the senate, house, and majority of legislation is already controlled by the right, and project 2025. “Oh, that can’t happen. And it’s not, like, all of them.”.

Just….hoy shit. How can you not see that NOONE IS SAFE.

Luckily I have people that support me and also want to fight. But I’m so, so sad and scared for all my trans youth and especially transfers, or anyone pre-op/HRT. My takeaway is, ‘If they want me dead, they can do it themselves.’

Stay fighting and stay alive.

Hey! And yeah some people have no idea the harm trump can bring to us, it really aggravates me when people say "oh he won't take away our rights it's fine", we are the farthest away from fine lmao

Legally I'm not safe, but physically I'd say I'm pretty safe. I'm armed and I live in the middle of nowhere, so I doubt any sort of physical harm could come to me. I'm just worried about losing access to testosterone, but I'm hoping my Endo can find a way around stuff for me since she's my cousin

The people in the cities tho? Shit, they're in danger. If I lived in a big population rn I wouldn't go out without looking over my shoulder constantly, too many crazy violent hateful people in this world, and they've only been spurred on by trump winning

[yanderefarm]

I am back and alive. It hasn't been actually long at all but it felt like a while since I was preparing for surgery, which is not complete. I slept pretty much all day today cuz of the anesthetic. Surgery went well and so I am finally free of the 'voluptuous bastards club'. Speaking of which how would all the boys be while I'm healing from top surgery? Especially those who want to be beaten and cannot while I am unable to fully move my arms or lift anything. Oh, an also, I think Silvian should be a Persian ragdoll mix (or just a ragdoll, they're the best cats)

-🪼

YOOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOO BOOBIE FREE!!!!

how much did it weigh and did anyone win?

i think they'd be very caring or well the best they can be. like obviously ares and nephite are the best caretakers they're gonna be gentle and loving and get you everything you need. emil and noemie are gonna get someone else to get you everything you need. and then ajax, silvan, and achilles are going to do their best which varies from achilles doing a good job to silvan burning soup. the most important part is you getting better!!

tbh!! i considered making achilles a ragdoll and then ajax would be another big fluffy cat too. i just imagine persians as the most fancy pretty pampered kitties so i thought that fit silvan. i love ragdolls tho they're so cute.

[autisticbokutoenthusiast]

ive been thinking about top nonstop for the past 24 hours and i can't help but wonder what his arc will actually look like

we're introduced to him in episode 1 as the top-tier. he's cool and confident, he's rich and hot and gets everything he wants and knows the answers to hard trivia quetions and charismatic as hell.

as the series goes on though we're introduced to other parts of him as well, that he has insomnia and has a hard time sleeping alone because he's scared of dying in his sleep alone and unloved, he won't/can't stick up for himself in various situations, he's pretty lonely, etc. he also hooks up with boston because of insecurity that mew is being genuine with him.

these things don't really negate the traits he's introduced with, he's still confident and cocky but post top/boston reveal it stops feeling cool and charismatic and starts seeming a bit desperate, and it doesn't get him whatever he wants in any given scenario anymore. I'd also say that compared to his introduction to the friendgroup, having the answers to the triva questions (i.e knowing the right things to say), following mew finding out about him having sex with boston we often see him speechless, or not speaking up for himself, especially when it comes to mew. it feels like since episode 6 at least, his smirk has been replaced with those sad puppy eyes.

now i'm one of those people that watches the show and thinks top did genuinely fall for mew and is genuine in his attempts to win him back, so i think it's interesting that the more love i see behind his actions, the less mew does.

I'd say the biggest effect on top's character is his relationship with mew/ mew's arc, because of how he agrees to change his lifestyle but also because of how he is framed. like in episode 2 top jumps in the lake to help cheum and mew notes it down as passing one of his boyfriend tests and when top jumps in to help mew in episode 9, its not received negatively but it doesn't but top immediately back in mew's good graces (actually i don't think we get mews thoughts on it at all cause he had just passed out but wtv). similarly top taking care of mew after his lasik surgery vs at the halloween party. i'd imagine that if top's interaction with mew's moms had happened pre episode 6 top would have gotten top marks from mew instead of being met with annoyance. theres probably many more instances like these but i'm starting to lose the point of this post the more i go on. (one last point is in episode 9 top is about to take some sleeping pills and decides instead to seak out human company, which could be just a way to introduce boeing to the story but i still think about it in terms of mew telling to to stop doing drugs, different drugs i know, in exchange for affection...anyway). we've seen the ways top has started to change but i don't think we've gotten as strong a sense as to where his character will go from here.

with mew we see him start out as the table holder, as the guy whose never been in a relationship but has a very clear image in his head of what it has to be like and when he finds someone who passes his tests and enters a relationship he thinks is perfect he ends up feeling betrayed and heartbroken. then we see mew lose his sense of self, enter his bad boy winning the idgaf war era and also what it takes for him to get out of it and start to come to terms with how he feels and why. we've seen who mew was introduced to us as, how he broke out of that mold, and where he may go next

boston was the hunter, who didn't do relationships because of all the drama. he becomes friends with benefits with nick and breaks his rule and starts to develop some feelings and it ultimately does lead to a lot of drama, mostly at the expense of his friendships. it seems tho that moving forward boston may re-evaluate his stance of relationships, not in favor of changing how he is necessarily but the value he places on other people and how he treats them.

ray is introduced to us the drunkard and guy with an unrequited crush. i personally will say ray is a bit different from these other characters because i think all of us ray enthusiasts clocked what layed beneath his surface almost immediately but nevertheless, he starts out as the guy who drinks too much when he goes out and gets called a burden by his friends for it, then we find out about his mother drinking herself to death, about his past suicide attempt because he feels unlovable and like he'll always be a burden, but we also see him try to move on with sand, to open up even, then get immediately roped back into his negative emotions in episode 6 when he self sabotages because self fulfilling prophecy, and we see things start to fall apart for him in episode 7/8 but pick back up in episode 9 with the prediction being the rest of his arc will revolve around dealing with his addiction and the impact that will have on his life.

i lost the plot of this post so bad someone please make coherent thoughts about this character cause clearly i can't. genuinely don't know what the point of this was supposed to be....

FebruarOC - Uriah

Hey hi hello did you know i'm obsessed with this guy? As I said in SWBC, I can't stop spinning him around like a rotisserie chicken in my head. 

I created his counterpart Kaedmon a few months ago (and I'll talk about her at the end of the month as a bonus character) and came up with Uriah in January! He's only slightly less new than Quin and Horatio, but I named them all at the same time. 

For January in SWBC, we read Phasma. My thoughts on the book aside, the framing narrative was someone in the First Order apprehended a Resistance pilot and then fudged the paperwork or something I guess so that there was no record of her being arrested and held on the ship and dragged her away to question her about Phasma. I have so many questions, but the biggest one came down to: Why are you going to nickname your rival Resistance spy/pilot Starling and the all-red armored NOT Elrik Vonreg from SW Resistance First Order guy Cardinal and NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? Honestly I got a lot more mad about that than I did anything else in the book, because everything else I just shrugged off but that was the biggest missed opportunity. Also his "I love the First Order and everything it stands for" to "what am I doing with my life (but I still love the first order)" took a grand total of like 48 hours TOPS and wasn't... good. It just wasn't well done. 

So I came away from that book CRAVING spy v spy content. And, well, my Jedi OC is also a Fulcrum agent, so like, it made sense, right, to then make an ISB agent to be against her? 

I settled on his ISB designation before I did a name and it was mostly as a joke that had made sense to me at the time?? But now he's ISB-789 and Kaedmon calls him "Hungry 8's" and when he goes "???" she says "you know, because seven ate nine?" and he asks "Not to encourage this but then shouldn't I be hungry 7's?" and she says "No :)"

He's 20 at the end of the clone wars, and a full agent of ISB by 25, so that makes him about 40 by the end of the galactic civil war. He's from a planet at the far end of the Outer Rim, close to Wild Space but still part of the imperial "jurisdiction" (I haven't settled on any currently existing planet or not), but because he's great with accents to help him blend in, he's able to immediately adapt the core world accent. (he's not that great with the languages tho) He has a younger sister who he helped put through a fancy school on Coruscant and she's a nature photographer; their parents still live back on their home planet, despite Uriah offering to help them live in the Empire. 

More recently for SWBC we read Battlefront II: Inferno Squad and that is truly what made me start rotating him around even faster in my brain -- they're not ISB, but they're working for ISB and they go undercover into a rebel op to try and destroy it and/or find a data leak and now THAT IS THE SPY SHIT I WANTED and so instead of creating a character out of frustration I just started spinning him at warp speeds to pick up any of the stray pieces of inspo floating around. But more to the point, it was a good exercise at listening to Imperial minds in a way that didn't make them see like big joke clowns like can happen. 

So it'll be fun to lean into that when writing for Uriah because you get to see him fully believing in what he's working for, as a field operative infiltrating smuggling rings and drug gangs etc to make the galaxy a better place in the early part of the Empire -- but then as it goes on longer and longer and he gets more involved (tangentially) with the rebellion through Kaedmon, and ISB/the empire being less and less interested in investigating corruption in certain aspects, that building disillusion with their place and so on. 

And not to "diversity win!" the empire, but he's a trans guy! He gave himself the gift of top surgery after being accepted into the Imperial Academy. 

In my thoughts about how they interact with canon, I did jot down that Uriah probably knows Kallus as they're about the same age and ISB agents -- though while Kallus went on to be as you see him in Rebels, Uriah does mostly undercover work. So when Kallus joins the Rebels, Kaedmon will get to know him... and when Uriah finds out that Kallus is also Fulcrum, he about loses his whole damn mind and probably pulls a muscle laughing so hard. 

I did write like 2200 words of an outline for him and Kaedmon, and I was fully going to sit down and write how the two of them met but my brain has been absent like all evening so I'll probably do a double big drabble for the two of them at the end of the month.

For the ask game have a bunch!! Valley: 🌹,🧡 / Darias: 💛,🌀 / Niquis: 💜, 🌷

Thank you for the ask!

Though Darias isn't my OC but @sessenaa' s so I'll let him answer those if he'd like ahah!

Valley:

🌹 How easy is it for them to connect with others and make friends? On the flip side how easy is it for them to make an enemy of someone? Are they the kind of person who hangs around the food table at a party and never talks to anyone or are they the type who can talk to anyone?

Funnily enough, Valley was raised aside from the rest of the world in a way due to being raised in the forest/mountains by her coven, so the campaign is the first time she's been surrounded by "others". If you put aside her very haggy sense of humour, I think she's actually connecting well with others! She's genuinely kind/ willing to help others, so if you get past the fact she looks quite intimidating, she connect relatively easy. Especially if you're a funny weirdo or a fun / cute lady-

They are the one who made the food at the party and definitely hang around the table to make sure everyone is eating/enjoying the food, but I think she'd definitely talk to the people she likes; she wouldn't bother pretending to enjoy the party if she doesn't tho, or if she doesn't like you.

🧡 Who is your OC’s favourite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favourite after all!).

Her favourite is definitely her dad! She loves all her haggy parents, but her dad is still her favourite person. He's always been extremely quiet, but willing to let Valley hang around him when he works or show her things. She also like the rare occasion he speaks because it feels quite cryptic and doesn't make sense on the moment. She also enjoy his fashion sense and keep trying to get people to wear facial veils like he does- Her second favourite is her hoarding mum. She finds her fun and she likes to collect trash when she can to gift it to her-

Niquis:

💜 Music or Silence? Swords or Spells? Cities or Nature?

Definitely music! She really likes it (she can't sing to save her life, but in modern AU she actually plays the drums). She is a warlock, so spells for the win, though she finds swords cool! Just not for her. And depends of the city, but definitely a nature girl!

🌷 In what ways would your OC alter their body if they could? How would they do it using mundane means (hair dye, surgery, make-up?). What is their ideal look for themself?

So fun fact, Niquis already does that a lot since she can disguise self at will! The most common is for her to pretend to look like a goliath to look a bit more like her adoptive dads' daughter. Otherwise, she does it to annoy the party by pretending to look like their daughter.

She genuinely likes how she looks though, I don't think surgery especially would ever cross her mind! She would probably try hair dye for funsies a few times, but she also like her natural hair. She do wears nailpolish and lipstick, usually black!

Ideal look for herself is just to feel nice in her skin, which she does already!

Mikey and Donnie obviously win because (according to my headcanons) Mikey figured out they weren’t a girl pre-series and Donnie did their top surgery (this is before either of them were 15 for reference) AMD later when Mikey figured out he used multiple pronouns that caused Dee’s egg to crack which made her realize she’s bigender

Brock is very unlikely to realize that about himself and ash. Idk man he probably transitioned a few years before evil dead (imagine being him and thinking that transitioning will be the hardest part of your life at that point)

Ash does get a point for being trans and getting a woman pregnant tho. He keeps being put in situations but he sure did do that causing Brock to exist

BAHAHAHA YEA

The answer is magic peanits. He got a magic peanits. And thats how brock exists.
