r/fantasy recommend books other than by the same 7 cis white guys challenge: level herculean.
It's genuinely disgusting to me how myopic their recommendations are. No wonder we keep getting posts asking for books with good female characters or POC or Queers because the image of fantasy you project is cishet dude mantasy slop where women are rape doll incubators(the more underaged the more "realistic") and poc/queers are more mythical than dragons.
I swear to God if I see one more neckbread bleating about The First Song Of Wheel Storm Name Winds Law by T.R.M McWhiteman I'll b*mb an orphanage.
Seriously if the only "zomg must read most epicest bestest fantasy everrrr!!!" Are ALL the SAME cis white men, your reading tastes are shit, your literature pallet is unrefined to the point of non-existence, you have no idea what you're talking about, you have no ability to give actually good book recommendations, you're just shovelling the same mantasy slop that the ur-neckbreads shoved at you, your recommendations are bad and you should feel bad.
Are you giving worthwhile recommendations that fit the brief or are you just throwing your uwu favourite books at a person, damn the fact that it doesn't fit or might even be the exact opposite of what the OP is looking for? Hmmm???
#i am legit tweaking rn#I'm not even opposed to cis white guy authors just not THE SAME BITCHES EVERYTIME#claptrap about “battles” and “magic systems” and “realistic”...for 10 billion Dollars name a woman or POC adult sff author#the ones who aren't damned to the outer darkness of mantasy slope will at least be able to mention Ursala Leguin or Octavia Bulter#then ask them to name one ALIVE and Currently writing crickets or maybe NK Jemisin lmao#also let me not get started on their racist/misogynistic double standards#hate on Poppy war because Rin is “despicable” but then squeal about their favourite malazan character who's a serial child rapist...k1ll me#oh don't forget the covert bigotry against anything related to not cishet white men#r/fantasy is infinitely better than all the other sff subs bc at least there you actually banned for being overtly a bigot#...but! everypost about POC or queer stuff or women/feminism gets downvoted to hell#plus the sealioning nerds about “why does representation matter i only care about good bokks” ofc all the good books are by cishet white men#one of the reasons i stick around r/fantasy is that i might be one of the few big sff book spaces that isn't focused on YA or romantasy#and sorting by new and ignoring every BrandoSando KKC etc post actually makes the sub tolerable great even#y'all might think I'm being too harsh but when in “no rape/pedophilia/incest” threads r/fantasy nggas be recommending shit like ASOIAF#I'm not going to be nice ESPECIALLY when they get mad when you point out how they don't fit and it's a dick move to ignore OPs request#books#fantasy#just to be safe#tw pedophila mention#tw rape#tw incest mention

UGHHHHHH take a shot every time a makeup youtuber uploads a video on their diet or on how sugar ruined their life. paragraph of complaining and criticism of diet culture under cut, ed tw but in a very anti-ed way.
like please just tell me about mascara and stuff, I do not want to be sold a program on how to have an eating disorder. I have SO many rants about this but I'll leave it at this for now: unless done in a very specific and mentally healthy way, restricting categories of food is almost always going to be your first step down a slippery slope, allergies excluded. Restricting one category leads to labeling it as bad, so you assign moral worth to food, so you start trying to 'deserve' your food, et cetera, down you go on that slope.
#tw ed mention#tw ed#ed mention#cw ed#lowkey don't want to tag this because people with it blocked are the ones who may need to see it but i will tag#just in case it would have the opposite intended effect and just out of courtesy#apparently i have big societal advocacy opinions today#ableism. homophobia and sociology behind it. diet culture. having some Big Feelings about things today#I mean I always have big societal opinons i'm usually just too conflict avoidant to share them#because tumblr really likes to do this thing where they see a vaguely ambiguous statement and they take it the WAY wrong worst way#like ok. in the other post. i mention how southern poverty can lead to people being stuck in their homophobic church town.#and i'm waiting for the anon to be like 'oh so you're saying to give all homophobes money'#like no i didn't say that#i said poverty can lead to being stuck somewhere that nurtures bigotry#sigh. we'll see how this goes over but no angry people yet#I think because it's still in my lovely little circle#usually i only get weird stuff once a post breaches containment#but nobody here ever causes me issues#i mean it's anon but still#UGH the time i got t*rfs in my inbox after that one addition circled around#censoring so they cannot find this hopefully#ANYWAYS ok i'm done#ily guys#if you ever DO have issue with something i said then do let me know#i do not bite and chances are it was accidental#and if it wasn't accidental then i do enough college discussion boards to be able to NICELY AND CALMLY talk stuff out#though maybe not timely.... gonna go answer dms on that note actually#left them marinating like a steak

AITA for obviously covering my nose and mouth around smokers at work? (Tw for a very brief mention of sexual assault and mentions of bigotry)
To preface I'm fully aware that WHAT I'm trying to do is justified, I just don't know if the HOW is a problem.
Some context about my working conditions: I work in an outdoors location. I sit at a table at the front gate and check bags and permit entry. Where I sit is a fairly small open area at the base of a large set of stairs before the place people are actually coming to see. Smoking, drinking, etc is allowed everywhere on premise including the small area I sit at for eight hours a night. 90% of the patients drink (not the point of the post but to display how lax the type of event I work at is), and 50% of the adults MINIMUM smoke. The ticket booth is right beside my booth and people will stand there for up to 5 minutes on a not too busy night smoking as they wait. The customer base is nearly entirely white and almost 100% Republican. They wear MAGA hats, fly confederate flags, wear blue lives matter shirts, and try to yell at me about chemtrails if I don't shoo them away from me. I've been sexually assaulted, harassed for being Russian(?????????), called anti-trans slurs, have had weapons pulled on me, etc. And as I've said....... pretty much all the patrons are drunk. So I CAN NOT wear a mask for my own immediate safety. This is also not an every day issue as I work for an event specifically that only takes place once or twice a month
Now as to why smoking is an issue: I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. I don't remember exactly what part causes the reaction but I very quickly have a reaction to it. I assume it's something most every non smoker goes through experiencing second hand smoke: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fainting, etc. It just happens to me VERY quickly. Now, if they don't have bags for me to check and just breeze on by after getting their tickets, I hold my breath for a quick minute until the air at least doesn't actively feel gross to breathe in. Minute is an exaggeration, because of a disability I have I can't hold my breath for more than 20 seconds. When people with bags for me to check come to my table and are smoking, I try to severely limit my breathing until it's done because I'm directly dealing with the customers and have to breathe. Where my methods might be asshole-ish come into play with the people who choose to stand around and smoke instead of leaving the area
I use my shirt/jacket to cover my mouth and nose. When it's cold I try to at least make it look like a keeping myself warm thing. It's not perfect, it's not like I'm suddenly immune to second hand smoke, but if they're only around for five minutes or so it does WONDERS keeping me from getting sick. I used to try harder not to be obvious about it, but going home throwing up and sneezing out tar for days after I work so many times has made me a bit more "idgaf if they're offended by it" sometimes. The thing is, I don't WANT to be rude about it though. My goal here isn't to cause a problem, which is the biggest concern with the customer base, but to just keep myself safe. When I try to just suck it up and take no measures to reduce the amount of smoke I'm directly inhaling, I've gotten so violently ill I've been unable to actually do my job. Admittedly I've never made a serious attempt to just ask people to not smoke around me, but in my defense it's because the response in the past has been for people to flick their cigarette ash at me and get up in my face. I think I might be too replaceable for there to be any kind of enforceable rule about not smoking in my direct vicinity
So I repeat: AITA for covering my face at work when people smoke right beside me? (And if so, any other solutions you could think of would be nice!)
What are these acronyms?

Question, can I request a Kuroo x Y/N hurt/comfort where Y/N tries coming out to their parents as bi/pan and their parents yell at them so Y/N goes to Kuroo for comfort?? Thanks =)
OMG I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING THIS LONG, I don't even know if you'd still want to read this. :((
Life has been a little bitch, but let me tell you, I LOVED your request, it hit really close to home for me, so that's also why I spent so much time on it... I really wanted to make it something special for you :)
Some quick notes:
-Multispec is used as a catch-all for all identities that involve attraction to multiple genders, rather than just bi or pan, to be more inclusive.
-They/Them is used as a catch-all to include Y/Ns of all genders. However, I did make them a member of the volleyball team... By the time I remembered it was a boys' only team, it was too late, so yeah let's just pretend that this is a more gender diverse world–
-I don't think much is said about Kuroo's mom in canon, so my interpretation of what she would be like in this situation is entirely based on head canons.
With that out of the way, without further ado–
Never Stop Loving
TWs: LGBTQIA-phobia, child abandonment, physical abuse, HEAVY religious bigotry
Growing up, crushes seemed so simple to everyone. A boy and a girl would start spending a lot of time with each other at school, and then everyone would tease them, never ceasing to ship them together relentlessly. Sometimes, in a few lucky cases, either one of them would say ‘I like you too!’ And thus, a silly puppy love relationship began.
Being a boy and liking girls, or being a girl and liking boys, was the standard childhood experience for everyone around you… except for you yourself.
For one thing, you resented stereotypical gender roles from a very young age. The idea that girls must be giggling and gossipy, and that boys should be all rough and tough, was abhorrent to you. Deep down, you always knew that there was much more to gender than that, and that there were probably more than two genders in the first place.
That conviction didn’t help you much in terms of fitting in. However, gender itself wasn’t the only idea you struggled to grasp, it was which gender you meant to be attracted to.
As you grew a bit older, teachers began mentioning that there were boys who liked boys and girls who liked girls too. Yet still, even that didn’t seem to answer the burning feelings you had always held inside.
That butterfly feeling that was characteristic of crushes wasn’t exclusive to any one gender for you– although short-lived, you had periods of romantic fantasies for all kinds of people.
Despite the fact that everyone around you was choosing one gender with ease, you eventually came to accept that this was how you felt. Even though people called you weird and outcasted you whenever you even mentioned the possibility of a person being able to be attracted to more than one gender, there was no ‘getting rid’ of these feelings, so you shrugged and figured that you may as well accept it.
It wouldn’t be until your teenage years rolled around and you began browsing through internet forums that you found that there was a name for these feelings– the multisexual spectrum.
Whichever one of the many identities on this spectrum you came to identify with, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off your shoulders. It felt so freeing just to know that there were so many others who had the same attractions as you, and that you weren’t crazy after all.
However, with that freedom also came a realisation that crushed and shattered your whole entire world to pieces.
Tragically, your parents didn’t seem to feel the same way when it came to people who didn’t fall into heteronormative expectations of what they thought love should be.
Forget those on the multisexual spectrum, they despised even just gay and lesbian people.
It began with a quick changing of the channel whenever some news about LGBTQIA+ people came on. You shrugged it off at first, but they slowly began revealing their true colours.
“How can someone be so sinful? They will surely burn in hell.”
“They’re violating God’s natural order!”
“They’re so evil, they’re fucking brainwashing the kids now too!”
“I wish the government would have never legalised gay marriage…”
“One man. One woman. That is the only acceptable version of love.”
Whenever these words from both your mum and your dad rang in your head, you felt sick to your stomach. They had no clue that you liked multiple genders, and judging from their reactions to gay people, they would probably react even harsher when they discovered that people on the multisexual spectrum exist too.
And you were one of those people.
Being aware of what could potentially happen in the event that they found out, you kept your identity on the extreme down low. You didn’t even tell anyone on the volleyball team at your new highschool, Nekoma High.
You had developed a passion for volleyball over the past few years. It was the best distraction that you found for everything going on at home. In fact, you often tried to stay back for as long as possible even beyond Nekoma’s regular afterschool routines, just so you would have to spend time with the two who you weren’t even all that sure you could truly love anymore.
As for your teammates, they were the first real friends you had in a long time. Of course, Nekoma was notorious for their rather… chaotic antics. Kuroo, the captain of your team, was arguably one of the most chaotic of them all, what with his snarky remarks and overly laid back attitudes.
Still, behind it all, anyone on the Nekoma team could always count on each other. You had never felt a stronger “mess with one of us, mess with all of us” mentality anywhere else.
And yet, you didn’t hint at your identity to any of them either. The reality remained that you couldn’t predict what they would feel about one of their teammates having a multispec identity, and besides… you didn’t want to burden them or disturb their happiness in any way.
You resolved to keep everything going on in your head to yourself, for the sake of everyone you cared about.
One day, though, you had let your guard down.
During practice at the volleyball club, everyone was taking a break. Your teammates had boundless energy, but even they got tuckered out at times, and the same went for you just as much.
You sat in a corner as your mind began to wander off to your hidden identity crisis, as it often did.
“Will I have to keep this a secret forever…?”
Despite your best efforts, the burden of keeping a secret weighed down on your heart more and more. Just before your thoughts began to spiral out of control, an idea popped in your head.
You took out your laptop, and frantically began to type all those thoughts you had been keeping to yourself. You wrote about your identity, and your reluctance to tell your parents.
As you typed, it became apparent that, however scary the idea was, your parents would have to know sooner or later. If you ever started dating at one point, especially if that partner was the same gender as you…
Your thoughts were snapped back to the present moment by a sudden wave of thirst. It hit you just how hard you worked on perfecting your volleyball techniques, to the point that you had neglected hydration.
The sense of urgency became so great that you bolted off to find your water bottle.
However, your laptop had been left open.
Kuroo was the first to notice this. You didn’t know why, but Kuroo was always the first to notice even the little things about you.
“Where are they? They left their laptop open, some dumbass is going to fumble with the ball and smash the screen to tiny little pieces!”
His rambling to himself stopped when he noticed the notebook window left open on your screen. Something told him he shouldn’t be reading it, but his heart told him that this was much more important than that.
“Let’s see here…” He mumbled under his breath, reading everything to himself in the lowest voice he could. Soon, he trailed off, purely in shock from all that had just been revealed to him.
Of course, he was taken aback by the fact that you liked multiple genders– partially because he did too, and just like you, he wasn’t expecting to find anyone like him.
However, more than that, he felt ashamed. He was the captain, for god’s sakes. He was supposed to know his team like the back of his hand, and yet he couldn’t pick up on all these struggles.
“God, can’t I just call off the practice for today? I really just want to give them a hug right now…”
That was his first instinct, but he knew that would arouse too much suspicion, and the last thing he wanted to do was to draw attention to you. He knew that you could feel embarrassed when you were the centre of attention.
And so, practice went on, but Kuroo was noticeably stumbling. All his blocks were broken down like glass, and more often than not, he was catching the ball in his face.
“Haha, the way Kuroo’s catching the ball smack in the face is reminding me of the shrimp from Karasuno!” Lev teased.
Kai, Kuroo’s vice captain, sighed.
“Lev, how many times do I have to tell you that we don’t talk smack about other teams’ players behind their backs? But, you’re right… I think we have to call it quits for today, unless we want our captain’s face to be bruised beyond return.”
Mostly, everyone shuffled out of the gym with no more than a few grumbles or jokes, or the occasional side eye from Kenma.
You, on the other hand, immediately raised an eyebrow at this.
You knew something was on Kuroo’s mind.
What you didn’t know, however, was that Kuroo knew something about you as well.
When everyone had left, you both made firm eye contact with each other. As if pulled in by a rope, you took step by step to close the distance between you two, neither of you breaking that unwavering eye contact.
When you were mere inches apart from each other, you kept on with that impromptu staring contest in silence, waiting to see who would speak up first.
After a few moments, it turned out that both of you blurted it out at the same time.
“Kuroo, what is wrong with you today?”
“I support you, you idiot!”
The difference in what you both said prompted your gazes to turn bewildered.
Your eyes went wide.
“Huh!?”
You understood exactly what he was talking about. It was the fact that he must have found out somehow that terrified you, and you couldn’t help but tremble as you fumbled over your words in an attempt to execute damage control.
“I’m sorry… If you want to think I’m disgusting and curse me, you have every right to… I know I’m a freak for being different.”
Kuroo stared at you as if you had just spoken in an entirely different language.
“Now, why the fuck would I do that?” He was always sly like this, but this time, there was a hint of fondness in his voice as well.
Your head and your heart were still racing a mile a minute, and when Kuroo saw that his laid-backness wasn’t helping, his face softened.
You felt gentle, strong arms embrace you, and without thinking, you buried your head into his chest.
“If you’re a freak, then I am too, you know.”
When you didn’t react, he elaborated further.
“I’m also into more than one gender…”
At this, your head shot up towards him, gazing into his eyes with both a sense of surprise and a newfound admiration for him.
He smiled at your eagerness, patting your head.
“From now on, we don’t keep things from each other, okay? I’m your captain, and I’m well aware that I can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but it’s still my number one goal to support my team in everything I do.”
To tease him back, you smirked into a sly grin, one that could even rival that of Kuroo himself.
“Wow, so you see me as just your teammate?”
He hadn’t been expecting this, so he suddenly let you go as his face immediately turned flustered. He waved around his arms so frantically that it appeared as if he were doing some strange dance.
“No! You’re my friend! Wait, that sounds wrong too… You’re my best friend!”
“Isn’t that supposed to be Kenma’s job, though? Does that mean I’m more than a best friend as well?”
At this point, Kuroo looked just about ready to short circuit. You were enjoying every moment that you got to see him transform from a scheming genius to a babbling maniac.
However, you didn’t want Kuroo’s brain to actually stop working, so you granted him mercy by shifting the topic to a more somber concern.
“Since you’re also, you know… Did you ever tell your parents? Are they LGBTQIA-phobic too?”
Kuroo turned back to normal and scratched his chin in thought for a moment, and then shrugged.
“I mean, they can be scary as hell, so I thought they were… But when I did finally tell them, they kind of just went ‘Yeah, we know. Just remember to use protection.’”
The bluntness from such a reaction made you chuckle. A small hope ignited in your heart.
“Maybe if I tell them how I feel, I can get them to change?”
Just to confirm this, you turned to Kuroo for encouragement.
“So you’re saying that… even if I think that my parents might not be accepting, I should give it a go anyway?”
He put his hands on his hips, taking the proud stance that he was notorious for, yet still looking at you with an encouraging glance.
“It’s your choice, but I don’t remember ever teaching my team to be afraid of anything… It’s your life, so you have to have the courage to stand up for yourself. You especially don’t want to have weak knees in front of your own damn parents!”
These words were all you needed to make you think that maybe everything would be okay, and you felt your heart beat with a fondness for Kuroo that you’d never truly felt for anyone before, not even your puppy love crushes in childhood.
The thing was, you could have sworn you felt Kuroo’s heartbeat in the air the same way.
“What are you looking at me for? Go home and do it already!” You could tell he was getting all shy again.
And with that, you turned around and sprinted off back home.
Yet, as he watched you fade off into the distance, he couldn’t help but feel some gut instinct gnaw away at his conscience.
“Shit, why do I feel like I said something terribly wrong?”
By the time you arrived back, the sky had dimmed to give way to the evening. The first thing you did when you walked inside was greet your parents more cheerily than usual to set a good atmosphere, and observed their faces.
Oddly, they seemed to be in a good mood. They weren’t even having an argument. Your mom simply made small talk about various matters to your dad, who nodded along in agreement, as she welcomed you to the dinner table.
“You’re back a bit early.” Your mom hummed cheerily.
“Oh, practice got out earlier than usual today.”
“That’s nice, then.”
“You’re also in a much better mood than usual. It’s been a long time since you’ve spent time together with us like this, kiddo.” Your dad added in a tone of approval as he looked up from the newspaper he was reading.
You decided to take advantage of the positive notes that had been set. You inhaled and exhaled as deeply as you could to calm your shaky nerves.
It was now or never.
“Mom, dad, can I tell you something…?”
“Mhm. What’s up?”
Your mom turned around, still multitasking her miscellaneous chores around the kitchen. Your dad’s attention was piqued too, but he was still half focused on the newspaper himself.
“I think I like multiple genders!” You heaved out in a louder than expected tone.
Both your parents immediately dropped what they were doing. Both pairs of eyes fell on you, with an expression that made it look like you had just confessed to committing arson on the school and getting expelled.
“Kids these days! It must be one of those new trends or phases, right?”
Your dad nervously attempted to laugh off, and you could tell that he was hoping to whatever twisted version of God he must believe in that that was actually the case.
However, it very much was the opposite.
“No, it’s not a phase, dad… This is who I am…” Your voice began to shake and drop to a nervous whisper. This was already starting to go down south, but there was no turning back.
“I knew that the internet was brainwashing kids into this filth, but I never thought you would be one of them! We raised you to be better than this!”
Your mom’s voice immediately began cranking up the dial further and further with anger and hatred.
“I’m not brainwashed, mom! Why is it so wrong for me to just be who I am?”
It was clear that your mom wasn’t going to back down from her stance, even though this was her own child, so two could play at this game, you thought.
“How many times do we have to tell you? There are only men and women, and God only wants one man, and one woman! Anything other than that is disgraceful, filthy, and–“ Your mother argued back, only to be cut off by you.
“Fuck you and your stupid ideas about God! I’m not even hurting anyone, so why do you guys always have to be so hateful when all we want is love?”
You knew that your rage-filled tone and your words were the very textbook definition of disrespect, but you couldn’t take it anymore. More than ever, you were confronted face on with the reality that your parents were never, ever going to change after all.
You began to see red, but just as you were about to double down, you were snapped back by a painful sting to the face.
Your dad stood towering above you, having just slapped you square on the face. The force was so great that you came tumbling to the ground, your butt making a painful impact against the hardwood floor.
“Fucking deviants like you should just burn in hell.”
He spat this out in a tone so cold it seemed to freeze the air around you. As you looked up at him like a deer in headlights, he simply looked down upon you with an expression that was utterly devoid of any semblance of mercy.
Everything hurt, and in that moment, you wanted nothing more than to curl up in a hole and disappear forever.
Although your thoughts were in absolute overdrive right now, one thing was sure�� it was not safe to be here anymore.
Mustering up whatever little strength you had left, you scurried and limped towards the door like an injured, helpless little animal.
“And don’t you dare come back!” Your father yelled after you, still feeling absolutely zero remorse.
As soon as you stepped outside, a burst of chilly wind hit you with a force that felt like another slap in the face.
You hid behind another house that was a safe distance away. You didn’t really care to know your neighbours, but no one was home, so you could at least be confident that no one was going to surprise you.
As you slumped down against the wall, the reality of what had happened began to hit you.
You had just been kicked out of your own home. You could expect yelling, you could expect bigotry, but this was the absolute worst case scenario, and you never thought it could be real.
And yet, it was all happening. All at once. Your parents didn’t love you anymore, and you had nowhere to go.
The uncertainty of what could happen, as long as the icy cold that began to make you shiver uncontrollably, prompted you to curl up into a ball and sob a stream of tears.
“It’s all my fault… I should have kept my mouth shut…”
Still, even though it was Kuroo who had encouraged you to come out, you didn’t blame him in even the slightest bit.
“Kuroo will be so disappointed in me… He was so confident in me, and yet I failed…”
As the graveness of your situation continued to set in, your fingertips and toes started to go numb. You hadn’t even had the chance to pull on a jacket on your way out of the heated environment of your house.
The tip of your nose also turned red from the biting cold, as your only protection was your T-shirt and shorts– the worst possible dressing for the weather.
It was indeed tempting to give up and fall asleep on the icy grass, but another realisation made you fight tooth and nail to keep your eyes open– if you fell asleep in this weather, your life itself would be at risk, and there was no certainty that you would even wake up.
Your choices grew slimmer and slimmer the more you thought about it, but throughout your thought process, one subject ringed repeatedly in your mind.
“Could I go to Kuroo’s house…?”
From the few times you had visited Kuroo’s house with your team, you vaguely remembered that his house was only a few blocks away from yours. It was a risk to go when you were in this state, and you didn’t want to burden him either, but this was a matter of life or death.
You tried to recall to mind a house number, but failed. The only concrete memory of Kuroo’s house that you had was that it was a different colour exterior than the houses around it, so if you were lucky enough to come across it, you would know.
With this extremely limited knowledge in your hands, you took off walk-running in a vague direction. You would normally had no problem running for a few blocks, but the cold battled you for power over your legs.
As you went further and further, your shivering became more profound, but you had to power through. The moment you would collapse unconscious, it would all be over.
With these high stakes sending your adrenaline rushing to an all-time high, you forced yourself to keep going. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem that the physical activity warmed your body even nearly enough to make a difference.
Even when your vision started to blur in and out, even when every muscle in your body begged for mercy, even when your knees started to buckle beneath you, you summoned up every last bit of determination you had.
Just as the dizziness was becoming too much, you finally spotted that house that stood out from the rest. You finally relaxed your body, legs like jelly as you approached the door and weakly rang the doorbell.
Your knees finally gave way, and you fell to their level in front of the door, silently praying that someone, anyone would be home.
However, even despite these circumstances, your heart still yearned for Kuroo above all else.
Inside, Kuroo’s mom started at her son in some frustration, watching him pick at his food with a fork.
“Right then, so are you going to tell me why you aren’t scarfing down your food faster than a competitive eater like you usually do, or will I have to interrogate you until you fess up and tell me what the hell is wrong?”
Kuroo didn’t know how to explain the situation to his mom, and even if he wanted to, his worries for you completely robbed him of any ability to find the right words.
He mumbled under his breath, continuing to push uneaten food around his plate.
“I really fucked up…” Those were the only words that reached his mom’s ears.
It wasn’t the usage of a swear word that concerned her, it was the fact that this was extremely uncharacteristic for someone as self-confident as him.
She opened her mouth to request him to elaborate, but she was interrupted by a very faint version of the doorbell’s ring.
A gut feeling suddenly rushed to Kuroo, making him jump up to get the door so fast that even his usually unwavering mom yelped in surprise.
As Kuroo fumbled to get the lock open with shaky hands, she thought to herself,
“It can’t be his dad… He’s still at work, so who’s come at this hour that’s made Kuroo so riled up?”
She stood from a distance, watching as the door swung open. She couldn’t see who it was from here, but she froze when she heard Kuroo’s breath immediately become panicked.
You could barely form words at this point, as Kuroo crouched down to behold what had happened to you with horror.
Your breathing was visibly laboured, you were on the verge of losing consciousness, and as he reached out a shaky hand to touch you… that skin of yours was so freezing cold that he retracted his hand immediately.
“Shit, shit, shit!” He repeatedly cursed in a whispery tone.
Just as had happened to you, all Kuroo’s worst fears were coming true as well.
He shook your shoulder in an attempt to make you more awake, and when it was apparent that this was doing nothing, he scooped you up in his arms with ease. He took a few steps into your house and shut the door immediately, so that the heating system could begin to warm you.
Gazing upon your weak, freezing body, he couldn’t hold back the tears that stung at the corners of his eyes.
“Fuck, baby… this is all my fault…”
He ignored the obvious fact that this could be interpreted as a love confession. That was the last thing on his mind now. All that mattered in every inch of his instincts right now was doing everything in his power to fix what he had broken.
Kuroo’s mom still couldn’t see you from where she was standing, so judging from the baby talk, she assumed that Kuroo had found an injured stray cat.
Imagining that she would see a small pet, this finally made her rush forward to approach Kuroo.
When she saw that the ‘baby’ in question was a human, and a human she recognised from photos of Kuroo’s team, her heart dropped straight down.
Kuroo clutched you close to counter your condition with his body warmth, pleading with every ounce of his heart for you to stay.
“Don’t fall asleep, please… Damn it, I need you! Remember what I said earlier? I know you’re a fighter, so please don’t give up on me now…”
Although you were still somewhat awake, his words couldn’t fully reach your ears. All you felt was a strange sense of warmth, that made you feel safe for the first time that evening.
Meanwhile, his mom made a mad dash, practically turning the house upside down as she frantically searched for the warmest blankets they had.
All the while, she shouted in confusion repeatedly at the top of her lungs,
“Dear goodness! What in the name of the heavens could have happened to this poor child!?”
When she found a few blankets that she deemed satisfactory enough, she tossed them in Kuroo’s direction, and he caught them swiftly.
He made quick work of wrapping you up in a bundle tightly enough to be comforting, but also with a gentleness which ensured that the warmth would not suffocate you.
“Now what are you standing there like a statue for? Go to your room and tuck the kid into your bed to warm them up!”
Kuroo rarely agreed with his mom, but he had to admit, that sounded like a good idea.
‘Tender’ was about the last word that anyone would use to describe Kuroo. Yet, as he tucked you into bed, the tenderness of the way he snuggled you in reached your heart far before the actual sensations of warmth did.
He crouched down next to the bed, clutching your hand hopefully, praying that this would work and you wouldn’t have to be admitted to hospital.
Even though he hadn’t heard a word from you yet, he never stopped whispering encouraging sweet nothings into your ear.
As your skin grew warmer to the touch and your eyes opened to their regular degree of wideness, Kuroo sighed with a relief so strong that it was palpable.
“Thank goodness…”
You grew more aware of your surroundings. The room was entirely unfamiliar to you, but somehow, Kuroo’s presence made the atmosphere welcoming.
The first thing you did as you startled back to normal was look down at where yours and his bodies were joined by your hands. You then looked up at Kuroo’s face, which was tear-stained, but also had an ear-to-ear smile as he saw that your gaze was no longer empty.
It took your brain a few moments to recall what had happened and what was happening right now fully, but once everything registered, overwhelming emotions returned once again.
You felt mortified at the mere thought of your parents. You felt gratitude that you were still alive. You felt a sense of security with Kuroo by your side. You felt guilt because, in your view, you were still only bothering him.
You hyperventilated slightly, distressed tears streaming down your face. Kuroo retracted his hand, believing that he was the one who had done something wrong with you.
Rather, it was quite the opposite. All you wanted in that moment was him.
“Please, Kuroo, just… hug me.” You mumbled in a daze.
That was the only confirmation he needed, and he threw his arms around you. The comfort that his embrace provided validated everything that was going on in your head right now, and choked sobs escaped your throat.
Never once did Kuroo tease you for crying, and he didn’t utter a word about it either. You were of far more worth to him than acting cool ever was.
He knew that the best thing he could do in this situation was to simply be there. He rubbed your back soothingly as his grip on you grew tighter, listening to your cries patiently.
“I’m sorry for causing this. I love you.”
He knew it was crazy to confess his love for you at a time like this, but at this moment, he was letting his heart speak the words that his rationale couldn’t find.
He didn’t care if you loved him back or not, as long as he could make you at least a little bit happier.
His mouth widened slightly with surprise as you jerked up to look at him more directly.
“I love you too…”
The way you had made him hilariously blushing back at the gym had returned with full force. It made you smile, albeit small, for the first time since you were kicked out.
As much as you wanted to continue professing your love and eliciting these reactions from him, you were still too weak to do so. Once again, you shifted to talk about something else.
“You don’t have to be sorry, Kuroo… If anything, this was my fault.”
The moment you said these words, he grabbed your shoulders, the determination in his eyes burning into your soul.
“Hey, even if you don’t want me to take it, don’t you dare blame yourself for any of this. If I make you feel guilty, I’ll never forgive myself.”
His words were sharp, but you could tell that he was being dead serious. His sincerity washed away some of your worries, as you comfortably leaned on his shoulder.
“Well… Do you mind telling me what the ‘this’ we’re talking about is?”
Your safety had been very much threatened, so as much as he wanted to reveal more of his lovey-dovey side to you, he needed to address the elephant in the room.
Recounting your experience so soon brought back stress again as you relived the memories, but Kuroo was not letting go of you, as he gently encouraged the bravery he knew you had inside you.
“I told them… They cursed at me and told me to go to hell… Then they slapped me to the ground and kicked me out, that’s why I ran away here…”
As you detailed what your parents had done to you, you felt Kuroo stroke your hair faster. This was his way of trying to hold back the way his blood was boiling with anger and rage towards two people who he regarded as absolute monsters for daring to lay hands on you.
“How the fuck can anyone in their right mind do that to their child?” He seethed through clenched teeth.
You wanted revenge just as much as he did, but you didn’t want anger to consume him, not after he had gone out of his way for you.
A couple of ways to calm him down drifted through your head, and you somehow went with the most shocking of them.
You leaned up towards his face, and pecked him on the lips. However, you had intended this little kiss to land on his cheek.
When you moved back again and saw how over the moon yet bewildered Kuroo’s expression was, your cheeks turned red as you realised what you had actually done.
“Wait, I didn’t mean to–“
Before you could apologise, Kuroo pulled you in to kiss you on the lips softly and lovingly. It didn’t last for more than a couple of seconds, and even still, you felt that your very two souls had grown a connection to each other.
Kuroo’s thumb cupped your red cheek, and he smiled coyly as he continued to elaborate on what he felt towards you.
“You can stay here as long as you need. That way, I can stay by your side and make extra sure no one has the audacity to hurt you ever again.”
Your lips opened to protest, but Kuroo swiftly put a finger on them to hush you.
“I know what you’re going to say, but don’t. There’s nothing you can ever do to make me think even for a second that you’re a burden. You mean the world to me, and I’m not saying that to bullshit you– I truly mean every word.”
“Thank you…” That was all you could whisper back.
As the real extent of his love began to get through to you, it made your heart swell with a joy that finally made you feel at home.
The sound of blaring sirens approaching made both of your heads turn. The window in the room had been glazed over with the cold.
Nonetheless, the characteristic red, white, and blue blurry hues of police car sirens were very much visible as they rushed by, disappearing just as quickly.
Kuroo covered your ears to protect you from the piercing noise. You already knew what those sirens meant, and he knew that you knew, but he wasn’t going to spare any precaution to protect you from further harm.
“My mom’s been working behind the scenes, hasn’t she?” Kuroo chuckled.
He was right. She overheard Kuroo raging after you had confessed to being kicked out and abused, and she wasn’t having any of it. She phoned the police, and even though she didn’t know where you lived, she kept yelling at them until they agreed to go find them anyway.
When the sirens weren’t as loud anymore, Kuroo uncovered your ears, still hugging you close. You looked at him fondly, and he continued to snuggle your head protectively on his chest, peppering the top of your head with kisses now that he knew you loved him back.
With the background noise of the fading sirens, Kuroo whispered into your ear,
“I want you to know that you never have to stop loving… You’ll be safe here, and I promise that.”

Jean-Pierre | 21 y.o | 1.63 cm
The last one to join the L.o.S
| a few infos |
Arrogant sarcastic annoying little brat, he's the youngest member of the Legion. However he was humbled really fast by the other members. His mother taught him to play piano when he was a child. He was often sick as a child. He's terrified of boats. He only speak French and English. He knows Tape since they were 5. He's not really comfortable around dogs as one bitted off half of his left ear.
His natural hair color are brune but when he was 15, his started to grow blondish for some unknown reasons
He also despise the Orange color. He really does.
Weapons close-up
His red lense is here to help him calibrating the missile and lock the target.
The missile launcher in his back are retactable. You just have to close the controler lid to retract them. To launch the missile he just have to lift the fake colored pencils on the controller. To recharge the missile he just has to lower the pencils he lifted on the controller.
Backstory:
Before you proceed: Mention of: Bigotry and Loss of Close One.
Implied: Narcissistic and Parent
Grew up in a very traditional family with old school values. Raised by his father and grandfather. But in all honesty he was mostly raised by his nanny and grandfather. Jean is the son of one of the fifth general of the Colored Pencil Island.
The city where he grows in has always been very military oriented for the boys and arts for the girls. His dad's side is full with well known generals while his mother side is known for being famous art gallery owner. Unfortunately for him, he was always drawn to art but always had to do it in secret, unless it was weapons design.
His Birth name was actually Côme Raoul Aimé Yves Oscar Nicolas Siméon given by his mother as it was her family tradition. It was changed when she passed away, and was named Jean-Pierre as it was is father's family tradition.
Due to his family bigotry, he was closeted until he joined the Legion.
He met the Craftsman when he was 14 as he was the one sent to provide the 'paper guy' the craft supplies he needed. The Craftsman knew about his family life and always offered him help the day he needed.
When he was 17, one of the defense weapons malfuction which led to the Colored Pencils Island to be blown up. He managed to survive as he was far away from the explosion, retrieving material at the small harbour. However his father and grandfather didn't survive. The survivors decided to move to the nearest island while Jean decided to stay, waiting for his friends to return.
It's three years after that he decided to leave, after receiving Olly's letter, asking Jean-Pierre to work for him.
Clothes and Body particularities Slight nudity
Tw : scars [all scars are due to medical intervention or clumsy injuries]
#his backstory is actually a bit more complex than that#but i'm quite nervous that'd be too much and people not appreciating it#or making people uncomfortable#pmtok#pmtok colored pencils#legion of stationery

Tw for mentions of bigotry and predators.
Some people are so mindlessly "inclusive" they just loop around to being dangerous for marginalized people again. Like your ideology is just based around saying yes to everything that the people you hate say no to.
"Conservatives say queer people are predators therefore we should accept everyone even predators! Even kinks that fetishize and dehumanise marginalised people! You're saying this is wrong, well that's what conservatives say too so you're being a puritan!"
"Sex workers are oppressed therefore the whole industry is okay and there's nothing to criticise! If you point out the exploitation and coercion you're just being a bigot! Work is work and all work is coercion! No I'm not going to not think about the implications of that statement!"
"We need to accept everything or else we'll be like the conservatives trying to exclude minorities! Yes we even need to accept bigots! If we treat them well they'll treat us well!"
That's not how it works. There are people who want to hurt others, who want to normalise hurting others. You allowing them into your spaces will not make them respect you and want to keep you safe. They already want to hurt you.
You allowing them into our spaces endangers their targets. It makes the space hostile, and gets rid of it's intended purpose. And the targets either get hurt, leave or stay and feel threatened. You can't have both groups in at the same time. You have to pick.
And if you've decided you'd rather protect bigots and predators over young people and marginalised people, you need to take a good long look in the mirror and decide what kind of person you want to be. Because right now, you are not a safe person for the people around you.

The Bi Andrew controversy and my opinion on some people’s reactions
-Okay so ik this is a dead topic but it’s been on my mind since this all went down and i feel like i have the words to describe my feelings on it. But first i want to preface that im not trying to start a fight with this i just have some thoughts i really want to get off my chest.-
I made a post when the whole thing was going down and honestly I really didn’t get what I ment across. It was a mess of angry ranting that people couldn’t understand without me explaining in the comments. Sorry for that btw.
When I’m being honest the whole reaction to Nora revealing that in most drafts Andrew was bisexual made me kinda sick to my stomach as a gay man. It was just legions of people celebrating the fact that “thank god he wasn’t actually gay” or “now I don’t feel bad for wanting to fuck him as a woman cause he was bi the whole time!!”. And idk sometimes about that reaction just really bothered me (I wonder why)
I would have no problem with bi Andrew if he was canon. (I’d love him just as much as I love canon Andrew) it just doesn’t make sense to me that so many people were so happy when Nora told about his different orientation in the drafts. I dead ass saw people claiming Andrew was now bi in canon because of this. There was a brief uptake in andrewxrenee shipping (idc what u ship I’m using this as a point) so many people just acting like he was not gay in the text because it was different in the drafts.
A characters sexuality is an important aspect of them. Like let’s take Neil for example, he is demisexual/demiromantic. That is an important part of his character as a whole. Hell it’s pretty inseparable from him, it is a part of what makes Neil, Neil. The same can be said about Andrew. His homosexuality is a large part of what built him as a person. If he was bi then that would have been an integral part of his character. And to see people practically giddy over the fact that in the drafts he was bi and then using that to diminish his canon sexuality was icky.
-I do want to quick say that when I say that Andrew’s being gay was an important factor in shaping him as a person I’m referring to that being a thing he needed to cope with after what happened to him in his childhood not that what happened in his childhood was because he was gay. I don’t want to get the wrong idea across lol. Also if he was bi that would have also been a thing he would have needed to cope with because no matter what he is still into men.-
Ik it’s a classic talking point but let’s switch the situation around. Say Andrew was bi in canon and Nora confirmed that he was gay in most drafts. Then with that info people started celebrating the fact that “HES NOT ACTUALLY BI!!”. That is a really uncomfortable thing to read, right.
It was not ok just cause it was gay->bi and it would not be ok if it was bi->gay.
-Just another thing if Andrew was bi there would be no problem. People resorting to biphobia over this whole situation were wrong and deserve to called tf out for their shit. A character being bi in drafts is absolutely no excuse to resorting to real world bigotry. If u did that ur gross and wrong-
I can understand a small bit about how if you are bi seeing a character you love also be bi probably feels great. But hey I and other gay men see the stuff ur saying and it kinda (really) hurts.
(Quick tw: brief mention of irl csa. Plz don’t read if that is a trigger for u)
-sorry for so many side notes. I just want to be open for a sec. I am a gay guy with a decent amount of sexual trauma. Andrew is the best example of a character in media who I see myself in. And idk there is something about how fast some people were to jump on the bandwagon of this was really uncomfortable for me to see. It’s probably stupid that this situation upset me as much as it did and I’m sorry for bringing this back up.-
#plz don’t take this the wrong way#I’m not gonna tag this with any fandom tags cause i really don’t want to start anything rn I just wanna get this off my chest

Welcome to Warriorplots!
Hello! I'm the sole owner/admin of this blog. You can call me Mason or Millie, I use she/her pronouns (subject to change)! I read my first warriors book about 9 years old & was completely smitten all the way through elementary school, though I only got as far as the end of OotS & half of the first book of AVoS. That's where I stopped for good unfortunately, so I know virtually nothing about any books after that or any super editions (save for Bluestar's Prophecy, but who doesnt know that one really?). Because of this, and a general dislike for the way the books are written, I like to lean more on things like fan comics & OCS -- that's why I made this blog! I think about these cats quite a lot and so come up with a number of ideas for characters & plots, many more than can fit in my own stories; this is where I'll share them, as well as other folks' submitted ideas!
Posts may be very slow until I can start getting more submissions. Currently I am aiming for a post every other day. Thanks for reading :]
Rules:
1- Submissions containing ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, elements of real life racism (canon typical cat racism is generally OK, just dont send in like. cat named Whiteheart hates all specifically black cats because they're obviously evil in their hearts or whatever) or generally any bigotry are not allowed & will not be posted.
2- Nothing NSFW in submissions. Violence and such is alright, but dont get sexual about the feral cats on main.
4- This is not a discourse blog. Do not submit anything intentionally inflammatory or discourse related. Be friends here please.
5- I will tag any triggers I'm asked to (within reason of course). Any discourse around or making fun of any tagged triggers is extremely not allowed. Please keep in mind however, I am only human; If I forget to tag something, please gently remind me. Dont start yelling unless I've repeatedly missed them. In that case get mean.
6- Submissions with things like incest, pedophilia, or large age gaps, intentional or not & romanticised or not, will be deleted. Asks telling me this rule is bad because "free speech" or "fiction doesnt affect reality" or "theyre feral cats it happens all the time" will also be deleted. I will not debate this; this is not a discourse blog, yes, but I have the right to not engage with topics that make me uncomfortable no matter how mad it makes you. Go somewhere else. Thanks.
7- Cringe culture is dead. You are NOT allowed to call anyone's ideas (including your own) cringe/lame/whatever. This blog is for funzies!
8- Crossover ideas are 100% okay, I think they could be great fun. I probably wont post any crossovers with significantly problematic media or any media that makes me personally uncomfortable though.
9- If you believe I have posted anything that breaks any of these rules or is generally shitty, please let me know!
Tagged topics (Open to edits/expansion):
-Death (#tw death /#tw animal death / #tw cat death)
-Kits being harmed (does not include regular sickness, but please let me know if you would like it to) (#tw kit harm / #tw kitten harm) #tw kit death if applicable)
-Animal harm (#tw animal harm + specific tags depending on who exactly is being harmed & how)
-Violence (#tw violence)
-Gore (extreme/detailed descriptions of wounds or gore or very extreme violence) (tw gore)
-SH/suicide (note, extreme or poorly handled descriptions of this will not be posted at all, this is only for posts that mention it casually & without detail) (#tw sh / #tw suicide depending)

Have you ever thought about doing Sherlock? A bit taboo i know, old fandom and such, but I feel like you’d be brilliant at it. Just a suggestion from having some nostalgia here, non the less hope your having a wonderful day.
TW: homophobia, racism, albeism (specifically against autistic people), transphobia, mention of jokes about rape
if you don't want to read this entire answer because the TWs are uncomfortable for you, then tldr no because the show contains bigotry and the main cast are gross/have said gross things. i don't want any arguments about the show, i don't think you're a bad person if you like the show, i just personally am very uncomfortable with it and with the lead actors so i will not make any fan content of it and would ask for no one to request this fandom again. i can not like the show and you can like it and we can get along these things can coexist.
all of this post is /nm , i am not angry at you anon, i am just explaining why i have the feelings i have about the show which you do not have to read if you do not want too, no hard feelings.
full answer under the cut, read at your own discretion:
i assume you mean bbc sherlock since you said taboo? and if so, the answer is no. and i don't think it's appropriate to call sexism and homophobic 'taboo' like it's a guilty pleasure. i'm not going to voice for a show that is at worst bigoted and at best a really bad adaption of sherlock holmes as a character.
this isn't meant as a mean attack towards you. when i watched the show when it came out i was a young teen and didn't see the bad in the show. and then when i was older and i got more familiar with the writers and uncomfortable with them i looked back on the show and realised how terrible it was. and look it's fine if you like it as an adaption of sherlock or like certain scenes of the cinematography or acting performances that's all fine. but.
but. hey maybe you're saying 'taboo' because you just think the show is cringe because of how the fandom acted or because of superwholock so sorry to burst anyone's bubble but this show and the people associated makes me so uncomfortable and angry so sorry you opened a can of worms.
irene adler's story is adapted terribly. in the books she's the only person to best sherlock. in the show? she doesn't. she loses. and then is a damsel in distress. oh and also is treat with such lesbophobia as the male writers have her be gay, literally say she's gay, but then falls in love with sherlock cos i guess she just hadn't met the right guy yet. that's such a gross narrative. and the queerbaiting. i know that word gets thrown around a lot. let me remind people of what it actually means. when a work of fiction purposely baits that characters will be queer while knowing they will never make the characters queer. so many people make comments within the show about john and sherlock being boyfriends, john being gay, etc, etc, while the writers knew they were never going to make them gay.
also the actor who plays has said disgusting things about autistic people, the actor who plays john has a consistent history of making racist and sexist jokes as well as joking about rape, and his ex wife who played his wife mary watson on the show is a terf. so. i mean she's claiming she's not a terf but she's following so many terf accounts and you don't do that by accident, said she supports 'legitimate trans people' which is a transphobic phrase as theres no such thing as an unlegitimate trans person, and doesn't think trans women are women. so. and the head writer, also has a history of sexist comments but when i searched to see if i was right they're mostly old so maybe he's grown up since then idk i don't follow him and don't want too.
anyway if someone is interest in a critique of sherlock in terms of how it works as an adaption hbomberguy has a video called 'sherlock is garbage and here's why'. it doesn't talk about the actors and what they've done or said, it's purely pulling the show's writing apart and how it adapts the characters and while the title sounds click baiting it's a really informative and well made video essay.
this is not meant to be me saying if you like sherlock you're a bad person, because i don't believe that. this is me sharing my stance on the show, as someone who as a teen was a big fan but then grew up and reflected and more stuff came out about the people involved. if you can still find things to enjoy about the show despite what i've said, go ahead. doesn't bother me. but don't ask me to make fan content for the show.
#ah the age old fear of wanting to tag the transphobia trigger warning so people who have that blacklisted wont see this post#and wont get triggered but also theres transphobes who target posts tagged with the transphobia trigger warning or there must be#because theres a pattern of me getting really terrible transphobic asks and threats every time i make a post using the trigger warning tag#the vampire vents#the vampire answers#tw transphobia#tw abelism#tw rape mention#tw racism

Terrorism (Blows up property, runs a dictatorship)
Slavery (??????)
Thank you for your bravery soldier anon here is me trying to make sense of these
Once again I can't believe detectivephobia is a canon form of bigotry in the Master Detective Archives: Rain Code universe but that's on me for being ignorant. I'm sorry detectives
I think the "attempted genocide" part refers to the earlier crackpot theory of Yomi actually wanting to nuke Kanai Ward all along and build cube factories over it's ashes, but could also refer to the killings of the detective nation.... if you think about it Yakou was at the moment literally the last of his kind at Kanai Ward before he got got with the gas which is so fucked up omg I can't believe Yomi would do this #yomiisoverparty #tw yomi hellsmile mention
Okay so this may get me burned on the stake like the witch I am, buuuuut I don't think his, uhh... *gestures* with the woman named Martina Electro also known as Swallow Electro, can really be considered 100% abuse. We only got a single scene of them together alone, in which he does kick her but she very visibly has zero problem with it I cannot overstate how much she did not give a fuck. I believe if we take into account him literally was sitting on her right beforehand, I'm pretty sure they were still doing their disgusting little kinky five shade roleplay up until he Got Weird With It (The Cube). Like I don't deny their wretched situationship was best comparable to a disastrous trainwreck that left 87654 injured and 2 survivors, but I swear some people are acting as if Martina was some helpless battered housewife that got waterboarded by Yomi every day and not the 3rd most powerful person in Kanai Ward after Yaoi and The Mask (by Dream). Like, strictly canonwise, their relationship was way more harmful to literally everybody else unfortunate enough to be in their vicinity, than any of them. Like was that comprehensible? Idk man I'm barely alive rn I ate a lot of khachapuri today
Extortion was Seth's and Seth's proud achievement only >:(((((( Why are you discrediting him..... In the end Yomi always ends up taking everything from him...... no joke Seth and detective are two of the most opressed species in Kanai Ward still
I think money laundering refers to him being stated (by Makoto) to..... wait no wait but wasn't that like, he got promotions by the, by bribing people around the world with the money- no but didn't he obtain the money like illegally no was that or that stated can't remember fuck I cannot think for shit rn aouuuughhh christ. I can relay most of what was going on from my canon/source/whatever the fuck yall call it, but concerning the game canon??? chapter 5 mystery labirynths like a not real to me anymore its been long before man. um anyway ignore this i fel like i havent said anything even
Treatment of Kurumi was actually, as far as I checked, 100% on Martina <3 Seth and women get discredited of their achievements so often omg
animal cruelty I have NO idea. but maybe this could refer to the scrapped lost media 6th DLC where Yomi launched 27 puppies with a catapult directly at Yakou's submarine. And the defilement section could refer to how I felt reading the
As far as I'm aware the sub was never really set on fire, so I believe the "arson" part might actually refer to when I bounced with m. No you know what nvm this is not worth it moving on
stalking I have no idea I guess the detectives felt very stalked it's so hard being a detective in modern kanai ward the people are so intolerant
The slavery bit......... Somebody else do that for me I cannot do this anymre my final message I'm going to the kitchen

SERIOUS POST
Hey so uh- funny story.
I used to be transphobic.
In fact, I used to be very bigoted against many groups.
Note the word USED to be.
Every transphobic thought has been cleanly plucked from my mind about 5 or so years ago.
Thankfully, I never had any confrontations or interactions with trans people while I held these hateful beliefs, so rest assured I have never harmed any trans people.
So I thought I would give some context as to why some hate trans people so much (at least from my memory)
Keep in mind, this was before the whole “groomer” narrative was a thing.
In my experience, two major factors were key in the fostering of transphobia in my mind: isolation and algorithms.
At the time, I didn’t know any trans people. The only look I ever had at trans folks was through a transphobic, hateful lens (e.g “AtTaCk HeLiCoPtEr” memes). So because I never had any interaction with trans people, that opened my interpretation of them to be molded and shaped by whatever entity came first to do so.
Now, algorithms. As I just mentioned, I only ever saw or heard about trans folk through a lens of hate and bigotry. So I only saw the “worst” of the trans community. The notorious “it’s MA’AM” video, which I now realize is a depiction of a trans woman stalwartly asserting her identity, was shared around these hateful spaces online, and was used as a way to say “look at how ridiculous this person is! They’re clearly a man!” …just typing that makes me feel yucky now.
Reactionary content on YouTube was also a major influence. I remember the YouTuber Hunter Avalone being one of the channels I watched the most. And since I kept clicking on transphobic content, YouTube kept recommending it. This led me down the infamous alt-right pipeline. Soon, I was also espousing beliefs that were racist, sexist, islamophobic, and classist. Hell, I even believed that billionaires were good people! But homophobia never made it with me.
I myself am bi/pan, and lean heavily towards men/male-presenting/masculine people, and towards androgynous people.
So seeing the firehose of hateful bigotry being pointed at myself finally snapped me to me senses. Because I knew other non-straight people. I knew they weren’t what the alt-right wanted me to think they were.
Seeing a community that I’m a part of being put under this lens of hate made me realize that it’s the same lens that every other marginalized community is put under. A lens of “different bad. Progress bad.”
I clawed my way out of this hateful pipeline. I expanded my horizons and connected with people in these marginalized groups.
So what I’m saying is, if you know anyone who is falling down this pipeline, arguing with them won’t do anything. The best way to rid them of their hateful bigotry is to show them the true nature of the LGBT community, the POC community, and other marginalized communities. Show them that they’re all just people wanting to live their lives.
The alt-right pipeline is no joke. It’s a dangerous downward spiral that can radicalize someone overnight. If you know someone falling down this pipeline, reach out to them. Invite them to a discord server with people from marginalized groups. Introduce them to your LGBT, POC, and non-Christian friends. Open their world, and their mind will open with it.
The best way to fight fascism and bigotry to teach the fascists and bigots empathy. That the people they hate are just that. People.
If I missed any TWs, please let me know and I’ll add them.
And just know that I no longer hold these hateful beliefs. I acknowledge that the person i was 5 years ago was a hateful, evil person, and I am thankful that my mind was opened.

Set this to clown music... and I mean this man in general. (aka Toxic Pea is the worst Kirby YouTuber)
TW: Discussion involving a bigot, primarily around transphobia (and I mean as soon as the first picture), not to mention many other grim topics.
Look, as big a guilty pleasure as hearing of internet squabbling can be, I never wanted to be the one to actually discuss it myself. But I feel like I just needed to get this one out of my system sooner than later.
So in case you didn't know, Toxic Pea is a Kirby YouTuber who uploads tons of memes and lyrical covers of Kirby songs (never liked the idea of those videos btw). He was quite popular until it was revealed in January of this year that he had said the N-word multiple times on Discord even as he was told that it was a horrible thing to say, not to mention tons of other signs of him being a bigot with, at best, practically no respect for LGBTQ+ people, like for example prefacing videos alluding to gay ships by saying that he hates "gender ideology". Also he keeps making weirdly risque and gross jokes over Elfilin, which combined with his other actions somehow does the impossible in making me hate Elfilin even more. The list goes on, but believe me when I say I am far from the first person aware of this nor the one most affected by it, even if the big well-done thread that outed him has since vanished. I admit that I never really saw all of that coming, but honestly I briefly had bad vibes about him way back last spring when, in the wake of the tragedy in Uvadale, he made a YouTube community post basically saying that atheism was far more responsible for mass shootings than mental health or gun laws, and even when someone made a well-thought out reply with a strong counterpoint who happened to say that they were atheist, he opened his reply to that by basically going, "But God is real lol", and even if I believe he wasn't that rude throughout the response (it's an old post so it's either lost or extremely hard to access now), that frankly strikes me as a really douchey thing to say in a discussion like that. (I'm aware that he lives in Spain, assuming that counts for anything at all.)
When that happened and a ton of Kirby YouTubers understandably shunned him, he put out a classic crappy apology and from there has just spent the year as the most deplorable clown on the Kirby side of YouTube. He made jokes in videos about saying the N-word again, sponsered a trend called "Reclaim June" (take a wild guess how they feel about gay people) and questioned why anyone would be proud of being gay or trans, whined about his downfall and his peers disowning him through the classic "I'vE bEeN cAnCeLlEd!!!" talk, became Fortnite buddies with Mirth and defended her with some insufferable "JeSuS fOrGiVeS hEr FoR cReEpInG oN kIdS!!!" bs, and a month ago, after getting torched for using an old meme involving someone who distanced themself from him without their permission, went on a truly baffling, borderline drunk-sounding ramble of a Community Post that included claiming that all of his moments of xenophobia were faked, trying to indoctrinate people into Catholicism (he's that kind of guy as far as using his religion to excuse being such a turd), and randomly saying at the end that he was making a Kirby movie (he's like the fakest Kirby fan ever off his bigotry alone but whatever). (I should mention that he has said multiple times that he is bisexual, and it seems genuine to me. He's even hinted at taking shame in it over his religion and stuff. It's absolutely no excuse for his actions, but I feel like clearing that up as he seems to have some internalized homophobia or something. I've unfortunately heard of gay people being transphobes, and I have indeed heard more recently of bi people being homophobic, so I feel like I should clear that up, especially considering my own misconceptions earlier.)
That leads us to today when he reacted to people's distaste for him by first acting as if him being Asian had anything to do with it and acting like he's being crucified for nothing. He then claims he loves trans people like any Christian neighbor would before immediately breaking out into a diatribe about how much he pities trans people and how they are inherently sinful for "mutilating the body that God gave them for his/her ego" and that he's just as bad as them? Like he occasionally complains about people viewing Christians as inherently hateful people, but frankly he's doing nothing to help that image for the many good Christians who I can't help but feel bad for, the ones who practice their faith while not being hateful crapheads over it. Not to mention that he still has several people sticking up for him and occasionally even indulging in more explicit hate that makes him look that much more like an enabler. (There's admittedly not much that's too hateful, but there's a rare not-moved commenter under that post trying to counter his crap about transitioning being a sin through some half-decent house metaphor, and it turned into a long thread that included one dipcrap throwing out the T-slur, just to show how uncomfortable they could be.)
So yeah, Toxic Pea, true to his name, is a toxic pea-brain who sucks. Don't interact with him. I admittedly have some bile fascination in seeing how this mess evolves (if that's a bad thing, then let me know), but it's really unfortunate and honestly baffling how a franchise like Kirby can have such ignorant, hateful "fans". (Like it's not quite as oxymoronic as the concept of a homophobic Steven Universe fan, but it's up there.) So again, don't listen to this twat, and if this is news to you and you liked him, then I'm sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news for you.
(Edit: I don't know if this is too late too matter, but I'd like to apologize about my frankly close-minded response to his bisexuality, because it does seem genuine and that he's even so in on his belief of homosexuality being a sin that he feels ashamed about it, which may well be internalized homophobia. It's not at all an excuse or a justification for his actions, but I felt bad for being so close-minded about that aspect of him.)

Lil watercolor thing of my OC Maggie. One of these days I'm going to actually draw in detail what's going on with her teeth. Best way I can describe it is she looks like a vampire with hyperdontia. She has too many teeth, and most of them are sharp. I will also eventually actually draw her curly hair and not half ass it lmao
Maggie is a haint but didn't start off that way. Her story is not a happy one, but she's content with her existence now.
Tw: murder, violence, mentions of bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, stalking (all of the mentions of bigotry are in regards to people she targets, and she was the one doing the stalking in her quest for vengeance after a great crime had been committed against her)
She was born a human girl in the late 19th century to a well off if not rich family, and a man in some position of power(maybe a politician or lawyer or owner of a big company) who was secretly hella crooked and corrupt courted and married her. It wasn't until after they were married that she began to see what kind of person he really was, and at some point her parents died in a "mysterious accident", leaving their money and property to her. She had a strong feeling her husband was responsible for their deaths and after some discreet investigation, she found she was right, but before she could even go to the police, her husband killed her too. However, her ghost stuck around, angry and wanting revenge but unable to do anything about it... Until something much stronger and of a darker nature than herself found her and offered her the power to avenge herself and anyone else who had been harmed by people like her husband(that is, people who can fool others into believing they're decent folks so they can get what they want, but on the inside their soul is rotted through with greed, hate, bigotry, cruelty, machiavellianism etc) in exchange for service. She gained the ability to see into people's minds and souls and judge for herself if they were corrupt enough to deserve death by her hand. She mainly targets corrupt politicians and police, people who seem like the nicest folks you'll ever meet in the daylight but put on a white hood at night, cult leaders, people who claim to love everyone as their god loves them but will abuse and shun and throw out their own children for being gay or trans.
Of course her first victim was her self-widowed husband, and she took a dramatic route with her vengeance. She started by showing up in his peripheral vision, then directly in his line of sight. Every time he saw her, she was dressed in what she'd been wearing when he killed her, but she'd disappear within a few seconds after he saw her, until he started to wonder if he was losing his mind. Then she started standing outside his house at night, knocking and scratching on the doors and windows and occasionally calling his name. She'd stalk him out in public, making sure nobody but him could see her, and when she was ready to strike, she allowed him to shoot her so he would think he was safe when she went down, but then she got back up and said, "You done killed me once, you can't do it again, honey," before tearing him apart. She ate most of his corpse but took his heart back to where she'd met the being that had given her the power to do this and left the heart as an offering, and she would leave the hearts of future victims as offerings as well.
Her power grew over many years, and she eventually grew strong enough to break away from the being that had given her power, and now serves herself and the hunger for vengeance that still boils within her soul. She can be injured and even incapacitated if you know how to do it, but she can't be killed because as long as one person still walks this earth carrying the same kind of corruption that killed her, she will also be walking this earth seeking their blood. She can sleep to recuperate if she gets tired or uses too much energy, but she can never truly rest. Still, she's content with the way she exists now, and she's even made friends with another haint woman with a similar story to her own and the other haint woman's companion, both of whom will be posted in the near future.

«────── « HEADCANON » ──────»
Thinking about Viktor and his background since not a lot is given in canon.
TW / CW for: Mentions of Transphobia
To start off, I headcanon Viktor as trans*. No real rhyme or reason besides projection (isn’t that really what all headcanons boil down to?), but it’s important to keep in mind.
So when thinking about his background and why he is the way he is (re: emotionally distant, jaded, and paternal), there are a few different things that come into play.
He grew up relatively okay by Watson standards, no real familial trauma or dysfunction. He went on to try and become a member of Trauma Team, but you know how it is… The more fortunate students buy off their passing grades and other tests get “mysteriously lost”. So needless to say, he spent his teen years preparing for something he was ultimately given the boot on. Then, of course, there’s the whole anxiety of socially transitioning and dealing with gender into that mix (not a universal experience for all trans* folk, of course).
Now because Vik is older it’s a bit easier for me to make this kinda comparison: Vik initially began his boxing career as a woman because you know… he was pre-medical transition and sports are gendered. Especially at the time. By the time Vik’s in his 20s, it’s like… the 2030s. This may be a universe where cybernetically modifying yourself is the norm, but do you really think bigotry (particularly transphobia in this instance) is just going to vanish? Not to mention, it’s 2023, and it’s still 100% legal in many states to outright kill us because we “lead people on” 😑 (in addition to so much other shit that has been passing as of late).
But anyway, when Vik starts saving up to get on his feet and medically transition… A lot of controversy comes around his social circles. It’s all the same rhetoric we see nowadays with trans* people existing as athletes. It’s “taking performance enhancing drugs” (which is ironic, because of the whole cybernetics thing, but again… transphobia isn’t going to vanish into thin air, especially when the trans* identity in the canon universe seems to be fetishized and commodified upon. That isn’t acceptance by any means-) and “[s]he’s doing this to accomplish some ulterior motive”.
Shit sucked pretty bad, and it did affect his confidence and conscience, so there was a little hiatus while he tried to take care of himself.
Then he re-emerged on the scene as the Vik we know and love and climbed up to almost-champ. Of course, being in the big leagues brought a lot of physical trauma (re: I hc the reason his left arm has the apparatus is that he suffered a real bad rotator cuff injury or a series of repeats that just fucked his nerves in the arm right up). So that’s all weighing on him too, and he physically aged a lot quicker than he should have, so he drops and becomes a ripperdoc.
Which… repeated exposure trauma as any medical professional is taxing, but as a back alley doc? One who sees the worst of the worst? Yeah… not good for his mental health. Lots of primary and secondary trauma there alone.
