[tangleslime2]

I have been slacking on Bugtober. I hit a roadblock and everything fell to pieces. I will do what I missed... eventually. I do want to.

Anyways, Bugtober day 30: Costume.

Yes, Team Bookwork is there. And Chompy.

y/n: in a scale from 1 to 10, how bad would it be if i quit??

y/n: i can live off franco

your friend: why would you quit don't be ridiculous

your friend: also franco might have less money than you do, it's not a great plan

y/n: i'm convinced carlos thinks i only got this job because of franco and not because of my talent

your friend: did he say that?

y/n: well no

your friend: then?

your friend: cause i honestly still don't understand why you dislike him so much

y/n: okay so when i was at franco's first race i got lost and asked him for directions

y/n: but when i said i was going to williams he asked if i was with franco

y/n: implying i was with franco you know, which already annoyed me

y/n: and then he walked me for a bit, asked me what i do and when i said photographer he said "that's great!"

y/n: but in a sarcastic way?? like it is just a dumb little hobby and he was mocking me

your friend: how do you know?

y/n: body language idkkkk

y/: and then someone called him and he just left me there !!! still lost might i add

your friend: so let me see if i understand correctly

your friend: you met this man at his work place. he helped you while he could, tried to make small talk, then got called for work and now you hate him bc of "body language idkkk"?

y/n: when you put it like that i sound insane

your friend: it is insane babe🤍

y/n: i can't explain it he just sounded condescending

your friend: were you maybe (and just maybe) projecting some of your own fears onto the conversation?

your friends: and all of the things you assume he thinks are the things you are afraid people might think or haters are saying online?

y/n: ...maybe

your friend: do you have any real reason to believe he thinks all those disgusting things??

y/n: ...

y/n: not really

your friend: and don't you think that maybe, since you are working together, the best thing might be to give him another chance? unless proven otherwise?

y/n: ugh i it when you get rational and make sense

your friend: someone has to‼️

"DANCE OF THE FATHER"

Synopsis: Neglected vodou!reader invites the Batfamily to a ceremonial loa dance on the beach. You weren't expecting them to come, but they did. Your overjoyed; let's pray the loa love your dance.

By the lwa, your sacred, your scared, your horrified—well, you're feeling almost everything at once, and it's not good for your heart. You danced at ceremonies before; you danced so hard that you could feel the lwa of beauty and femininity dancing within you, Erzulie. But now you're going to need Erzulie more than anything to help you through this.

"Big sis!" a young girl called for you, holding out a white headscarf in her hands. She looked up at you with big eyes. "Really, Zuri? You're gonna have to learn how to wrap your hair on your own," you said, putting the head covering on her and securing it gently around her little head. Some of her curls poked out of the white scarf, making you giggle as you pushed it back in place gently. "There, now you look perfect. Now go get your necklace; we have to make Ayida happy," you nudged Zuri along.

"Young Priestess!" Your body shook; you knew that voice anywhere. It was one of the elders, the High Priestess herself. She looked lovely in her white and gold dress and headscarf; gold and silver rings adorned her fingers as she held herself up by her cane. "Are you ready for your dance?" You nodded hard, your headscarf almost slipping off your head, making the old woman laugh.

"Let me fix that for you, fi mwen," she said softly, slowly walking over to you and fixing your headscarf. "Oh, and I almost forgot." She pulled one of her rings off her finger; it was a snake, but when you held it up to the sun, its scales shined like a rainbow. "Soon you will become a manbo, and you will lead the songs instead of the dance." She placed the ring on your finger, and you felt like your heart might explode.

"Thank you, Ma!" You put the ring on your finger and faced it toward the sun and ocean, watching the scales sparkle with different colors. "I'll make you proud, Ma!"

"I'm sure you will," she said, patting you on the back. Oh God, you're scared. What if you fail? What if the lwa hate your dancing? What if you trip and fall into the sand? What if Bruce and everyone hate your dancing and get on their phones? You feel your talisman glowing a dark purple. UGH! Calm down, girl. You stomp the sand—keep yourself together.

"Alright, everyone, their places! Come on, girls!" You began to pull on the ruffles of your white dress as you watched a sleek black car pull onto the beach. Bruce stepped out, and you felt yourself calm. Then Dick stepped out, and everyone started stepping out. You only invited your father; why did he drag everyone else along? Now, thinking about drowning yourself in the shallow water, they took their places sitting on the sand. You saw the elder mambo look up at you, and you felt a pang in your chest. You have to stay strong. One day you'll be a High Priestess; the ring on your finger proves it, and you must hold your own.

You must dance for yourself, not for them, but for you and your lwa and for your enjoyment. The elder mambo shouts and hits her walking cane hard. The drummer boys slammed their drums, shaking the sand beneath them. Then the girls hit the tambourines and sang a lovely tune. Then you moved, swaying back and forth, feeling the music in your bones. You stomped your foot in the water, and the elder mambo's strong voices started singing, overpowering the girls with the tambourines. Then a boy started to hum, and with that, you picked up the pace, kicking your legs into the air, moving like waves crashing down in a tsunami. The girls behind you started stomping too, and they began to move like serpents, like the lwa Ayida Wedo.

You spun around; sweat trickled down your face—or could it be seawater? You didn't care; you felt both Erzulie and Ayida dancing through you. Your amulet glowed a lovely purple hue, and you felt fulfilled. You didn't care if Bruce and the others were watching; you didn't care if they hated your dancing. You cared nothing for them, just for the lwa, the drumming, and the singing.

The song was about to end, but you didn't care; you kept on moving, leaping and spinning around, your feet hitting the sand. You twirled and fell down to your knees, your hands out to Bruce. You looked up at him and gave him a soft smile as you took some deep breaths. Your headscarf fell off your head, making your dreads fall softly on your shoulders. The elders and everyone yelled and clapped, but as you looked up at your father, your brothers, and sisters, you felt something radiating through them. You couldn't place your finger on it, but it was something dangerous.

Bruce then took your hand gently and pulled you onto your feet. Your heart wouldn't stop pounding. Then he embraced you in a hug. You felt your lwa leave your body gently. You whispered softly under your breath, "Thank you, my lwa." Little did you know, this meant more than what you expected. After this, you won't be seeing that beach ever again. You'll dance for them and only them, not for your lwa.

Malleus 19

Summary: You're sick as a dog and all you wanna do is lay in bed. The little dragon Malleus, on the other hand, wants you to entertain him.

(Wanted to write about a little cutie. So here you go.)

Ough, you are in a pit of muggy heat and horrible, horrible mucus.

Why did you go out? Why did you decide to go to the festival on Kalim's insistence even though you knew you were coming down with something bad? Past you was a fool, and now you were paying the price for it.

You felt gross. You are gross. Ugh. Nothing to do but wait for this to pass over, and maybe take some meds if it becomes too much, or at least have something before bed so you don't wake up in the middle of the night.

You sighed, coughed when you breathed too quickly, then blindly reached out to the water you kept on your nightstand. Your fingers hit something cold, and you grasped it tightly without a second thought.

Squeak!

…that's not a sound a water bottle should make. That sounded more like a fart than a squeak.

You reluctantly lifted your head, then blinked at the glaring glowing green eyes. He opened his mouth and let a flicker of fire tickle your skin. Whoops.

"Oh," you loosened your grip and Malleus spread his wings, hovering in the air, "Though you were my water. Didn't mean to."

It's right behind him, shining beautifully in the light but, ugh, you'll have to stretch yourself to get it and you really don't want to move. Your muscles were sore from all the walking alongside the fact that your sick.

"Ugh. Well, do whatever you like, Malleus. I'm not feeling the best."

You sniffled and roughly cleared your throat as best you could. You didn't succeed, and now you have more mucus coating your lungs. Breathing is possible, but so very uncomfortable. Horrible. Horrendous.

You heard a few flaps and felt a small dip in your pillow. Two tiny hands patted at your head, then started to shove. You shook your head and flipped yourself to the other side of the bed. You'll get your water later, you're getting sleepy again. Besides, at least you have some soup to look forward to from Crowley. Kalim wanted to take cooking duties but he doesn't exactly have the best idea on what makes a good sick meal.

Small steps traveled over your plush pillows, and now the little dragon was pushing at your shoulder.

Ah, he wants you to get up, for whatever little dragon fae activities he has planned for the day.

"Don't," you lightly pushed him away, "I need sleep."

Little claws hooked onto your blanket, and a small body heaved itself onto your neck. Cool scales swept over your face, tickled your nose, and you shot right up to scramble for a tissue.

You let out a colossal sneeze. "Ough, thank you." You said to no one in particular, glad that you can actually breath again.

You crumpled up the tissue, tossed it into the trashcan, then finally noticed the spread eagle, frozen Malleus. He always had a set of wide eyes that looked at the world with a curious wonder, and if not mystified, then he's usually not thinking anything at all. Empty, empty eyes, but oh so expressive.

Right now, Malleus was looking at you with shock.

"What? Never seen a sick person before?" Your voice was still nasally as ever, but it's clearer than before, at least. "You've been around Silver. Shouldn't he have been sick once or twice?"

Another tickle bloomed from the back of your nose and you grasped another tissue. You scrunched up, ready to let another sneeze rip out, but it faded away as quickly as the wind when you saw Malleus dash under your pillows. Every part of him was swallowed. All you could see was his eerie green eyes.

You blinked, then something clicked. "…ah, my sneezes scare you."

Makes sense, you don't bother being quiet since you've lived here along for a little too long. You get used to having nobody over, so you've stopped being aware of just how loud you can be.

You blew your nose and sighed in relief. "If you want to go home, by all means. Because I'm not gonna stop sneezing anytime soon."

Malleus gave the littlest of growls, evidently annoyed. You squashed him under the pillow he took refuge in.

I dmand EVERY picture of CJ you had drew!! Pretty please

Considering I'm super disorganized about my art and don't post everything I draw (sometimes it stays just in my server or among friends, or I just don't show anyone because it's unfinished/I'm unsatisfied), I'll have to find a lot of stuff that I've forgotten about.

Actually, I can just show some stuff that I *haven't* posted! (Everything else I ever have should be here.) Some of this stuff is Krow before I added the white hair because I didn't have that idea until around April.

^ Appropriately titled "Krow Smug Bitch". Everyone has fun with the cowboy AUs so why can't I?

^ He got nervous about seeing Usagi/Yukito I suppose

^ This one is interesting. Originally it was supposed to be just Krow as a magical boy, but then it turned into a bit of a mythology AU. He's the son of Yatagarasu the Three-Legged Crow from Shinto myth. Wasn't quite sure about everything... this was probably the result of watching too much Kamichama Karin as a kid lol

^ For fans of Transformers - TFP Optimus Prime with good ol' canon CJ! I feel like they would get along. Something about that red-and-blue leader drew him in I guess.

^ This was actually my first pass at an older version design of Krow. This was a complete piece too, but I was unsatisfied within a week or two. You can still see that I kept some things, notably the piercings, beard, and the idea of tattoos, as well as the Leo-inspired shoulder pads. The tattoo designs changed and so did the armor color, but it was an interesting first try at the older design.

^ A second attempt and older Krow, I was getting closer. (Still love the fashion on this though.)

^ The point I realized that I can't draw this man thin and have to start drawing him beefier and more filled out more consistently because it would be a crime against god or something. Was still finalizing his tattoos at this point and playing around with the idea of white hair. Considered the idea of the Hamato crest tattoo near his heart before nixing it because it's too cheesy and the Hamato tattoo is something a lot of people do for older/future character designs.

^ Ninpo weapon design for Older Krow! Yes he has a cyan scythe (really more of a kusarigama since it has a chain and weight at the end). Yes it's cool as fuck. No you can't touch it.

He's basically a reaper and it plays into his whole aesthetic as a crow, which symbolizes an omen of death. Crows are also often seen with scythe and scarecrow imagery because they're related to harvests.

I don't know why I never posted this, it *looks* finished... I think there was something off about the anatomy and I intended to fix it and then forgot and ugh. But anyway! There you go.

^ A height chart for younger Krow and Yukito that I never quite finished. But it's interesting to see them to the actual scale that I imagine them to be - Krow is 5'6", and Yukito's height is reversed since he's 6'5". Since both are around 19 when they meet, they're at their full adult heights here. Long live your short king!

^ Older Krow with lightning gloves. Which doesn't make sense actually because his gloves are electrical insulators to keep himself from getting zapped from one of his attacks. But who cares about that! It's cool!

^ Scythe sketch. Just trying to get a feel for the vibe of how he wields one. His cape/cloak plus the scythe probably gives opportunity for some really cool directional flow to occur.

^ Something I doodled just the other day. Old Krow but more cartoony and goofy. Love this silly guy!

I'm sure there's many more that I've missed, probably lots of half-finished sketches and doodles, but this is a lot of what I've found.

Heyy :) Can you please write headcanons of dating quackity, but in his earlier eras? (like 2019-21 maybe) ❤

QUACKITY ; 2019-2021 era

warnings ; language, talk of drugs, jokes about sex

word count ; 858

masterlist

Raiding Club Penguin with him and Axel was a core memory for you. It was the first true time, however cringe it sounds, that you saw Alex as your best friend.

he'd always try to make you laugh, especially on stream

such a little tease

back in the olden days, we had those Discord server 'wtf is that food' videos

you guys rank some of them and how likely you'd eat them

also ranking Discord memes

so many of them were dumb shit or weird shipart from like 2015 deviantart LMFAO

"guys I know me and y/n are dating but that doesn't mean compare us to Shrek couples!"

"I thought Thanos was your true love?"

"He-He is! Oh my God, stop being so desperate, y/n. ugh"

once he got invited to the Dream SMP, you were all ears and proudly taught him how to play Minecraft

you made his alt skin with the tuxedo, which he didn't wear often, but used in lore some time later

youd often help him with lore ideas

he also got you invited into the SMP where he introduced you to some of his new friends

you knew schlatt and some others, but most of these people were new and it was nice meeting all of them

the fiances are established and then you and quackity are already a think and you also like karl, which creates a weird love rectangle with an open end because you and sapnap are sharing the other two 💀

lore goes fuckin crazy with that

while Karl's off making Kinoko Kingdom and Quackity's running Las Nevadas, you're building El Tropicana, off in the far away jungle biome

Alex would usually stream and translate Mexican soap operas, which you joined in for sometimes

you'd give the characters different voices and twist their words up a bit to make it more entertaining for chat

the amount of drug talk that went into that was wild

also the amount of queer kids bullied in those schools?? yikes on bikes

also the one with that girl who got in trouble for kissing a boy on the playground or whatever that was?? Jesus christ man

youd both act put the scenes on occasion and use Tiger as whatever kid was being yelled at if she was in the room with you

taking a break halfway through stream for him to play guitar and for you to karaoke to fuckin Bo Burnham

also making fake joints out of paper he had laying around and "lighting them up" aka setting paper on fire next to a PC and your faces

Jackbox streams with the Feral Boys until 3am>>>

Paranormal Activity in the middle of the night went so fucking crazy

teaching Bad how to play GTA is your favorite memory with those two

playing horror games and watching him play horror games with Karl while he visited him

how dare he leave you all alone (you couldn't go because you had a busy schedule)

your chats shipping the hell out of you and your dsmp characters

hella fanart and fanfictions man

try not to laugh streams where you always ended up laughing before the ten minute mark because of him

he purposefully does shit to make you laugh

reading fanfiction on stream was a regular activity especially for y/s/n

youd rank the book on a scale from one to ten and how accurate to real life they were

"nahhhh that one doesn't have enough Thanos, two out of ten"

"yknow what... were gonna have our own tier lists... okay?"

"damnit... does this mean I'm not getting laid later?"

"what"

promoting the quackityhq merch religiously

also stealing whichever beanie he wasn't wearing, either the LAFD one or the plain black and blue one

him tying you to a chair and forcing you to laugh was a common stream plot

tweets that were either very inconspicuous about drugs, very sexual, or very old married couple vibes

youd both be frequently trending on twitter

hot wings or dare streams with Bad >>>>

playing girls go games and hoping you wouldn't give his PC a virus

sitting in the inflatable pool fully clothed, playing with children's bath toys

he'd for sure be the type to fall for his best friend

whether it be all the way back then or just now, he could go forever without feeling any feelings but one day they'll show up and the nervousness begins

he'd lend you a hoodie if you were cold in his room and he just straight up begs you to keep it

lots of just staring at you while chat ships you, like genuinley just zones out on your pretty face

would probably doubt his feelings at first and talk to his mom about it and she's like "boy you have a crush. Go ask them the hell out, you're a handsome young man, I'm pretty sure they like you too"

"mOooOooOoOoM"

genuinley spoils you with no good reason and after a while you just accept it

he starts sending good morning and good night texts

he'll repost (or reblog) (he has a secret tumblr) fanart of you two, especially if it's shipart

will constantly send you clips of movie characters making out or kissing and say "this should be us"

Just realised I never actually gave a real verdict on my thoughts & feelings of Dragon's Rising Season 3 - I just made like 4 posts with Spoilers & then dipped LMAO

SPOILER-FREE VERDICT: holy shit. They are doing THINGS and they are doing them well. It's a FANTASTIC start to S3 & I'm clawing at the wall waiting for what they do for the next 10 episodes. It's seriously so good. Im so excited‼️‼️

SPOILER VERDICT:

- me every 3 seconds with every episode

ALL MY BABIES ARE FINALLY BACK!!!! UGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

LLOYD‼️‼️ ONI RECOGNITION‼️‼️ HE SPOKE ABOUT THEM & THEIR RELATION TO THE FSM - WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO A ONI/DRAGON LLOYD HERITAGE REVEAL TO THE OTHERS I JUST KNOW IT‼️‼️ uuuughhoughh Lloyd... my favourite traumatised pathetic wet cat of a man. How is he still kicking I will never know. HIT HIM WITH MORE TRAUMA PLEASE‼️‼️ although. Maybe scale back and don't kill him again because OH MY GOD. HE HAD HIS SOUL EATEN??? WHAT THE HELL?? he can't go ONE day without everything happening to him. ALSO! I really hope The Fact that Thunderfang ACTUALLY managed to eat his soul & get the Source Dragon energy comes back round to bite the Ninja in the ass. It probably won't but GOD they could definitely do something with that.

PIXAL AND ZANE. they're so in love it's actually disgusting /pos - let them kiss you COWARDS THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH SOULMATES FOR LIFE ooooooough I'm rooting for them so much - but also how dare they play built to protect like that I'm gonna kill them.

Sora and Frak were. Interesting. But I GET it. They're brought together through weird circumstances, Sora most DEFINITELY still had some wariness due to Frak being with Ras before & Frak desperately trying to prove himself to show that he's NOT a terrible person, just manipulated & misguided due to finding Ras first ouuuugh I love them. Their relationship, of 2 guys who have the same best friend but have never met, is SO GOOD. THEYRE AWKWARD, THEYRE SNIPPY AND SARCASTIC, THEY ARE NOT COMFY TO BEGIN WITH!!! & that's PERFECT! honest to god - it's 100% the vibe when you're new to a job (Frak) & desperately trying to make friends with your coworkers your age but desperately trying to seem normal oooough they're so weird. honestly I would have LOVED to see how they kept progressing it BUT!

SORA & ARIN. I can't lie - REALLY wasn't expecting Sora to go with Arin & Ras. BUT! It's probably bc I honestly didn't expect Arin to go back to Ras. I wasn't expecting him to go with the Ninja, no way in hell he does NOT feel comfy with them at the moment still & he's still mad at Wu, but I REALLY thought he'd go his own way bc he is just SO FED UP with Ras. (Aren't we all?) BUT the fact that they DID go together is really nice, my babies☹️ they're best friends they love each other so much they mean so much to me. I hope they leave Ras in part 2, I hope Sora can convince Arin to find his own way - OH! WHAT OF 1 OF THE NINJA FIND SORA BY HERSELF & TELL HER THAT ARIN'S PARENTS ARE ALIVE & SORA TELLS ARIN & ITS A WHOLE PARALLEL TO THEM FROM SEASON 2 WITH THE LYING & TRUST OOOOUGH. just a thought.

JAY! Jay. Jayyyyyyy... I saw someone say, on twitter I think? I dunno, that if we didn't know Jay = Rogue the reveal would have been AMAZING & I 100% agree - like HOLYYYYYY SHIT they've done him SOOOOOO well I love him. The whole thing with him in the last fight, STILL MAKING TERRIBLE PUNS??? NYA'S EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS OVER HIM STILL BEING IN THERE DESPITE THE MEMORY LOSS?? UGH DOOMED JAYA PLEASE BE UNDOOMED SOON I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

Kai, Nya & Wyldfyre... OOOOUGH they're so silly. Nya & Kai were at each other's THROATS this time - I was a little wide-eyed every time they had their arguments, BUT I've seen SOOOOO many people say that they were ACTUALLY acting like siblings this time round & since I don't have those (hi yes im an only child) I'm gonna believe everyone else bc I don't completely understand how siblings work‼️‼️like TRUST I've seen siblings arguments and I would NEVER imagine doing that to someone and having us actually talk to eachother again afterwards but I guess that's just how you guys work. Freaks. ALSO! Despite me LITERALLY just saying i dont understand sibling dynamics lmao - Kai & Wlydfyre. Are definitely siblings. They WERE giving father & daughter when first introduced but NO WAY anymore. They are SOOOOOOOO older brother & little sister with a BIG age gap. I love them so much - ESPECIALLY Kai's attitude towards her & Roby. He was SO ready to kick ass when Roby got messed with & Wlydfyre was upset ouuughh...

MORRO: I didn't realise how much I missed him? He's not a character that I like. Think about a lot (like the main guys) but I've never hated him. But holy shit wow they've done him good they did him so good I LOVE his character. ALTHOUGH! WHY WAS HE EATEN AT THE END?? Brought him back JUST to kill him??? WILD do the writers even like him. DARETH: why. I have a... love/hate relationship with him tbh - I straight up never know how to feel about him he's so fucking strange. I've missed him. I wish he didn't come back. I hope he annoys the Ninja again. I hope he dissappears forever <3 ARRAKORE: UGH IVE MISSED HIM SO MUCH. I really love him☹️ he's so sweet and nice and the fact that he's ONLY doing good wishes UGH I CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO REBUILD DJINJAGO HES SO GOOD AND COOL. I want him back forever and he needs all the screen time ever actually

Anyway yeah LOVED this season‼️‼️ can't wait for part 2 gonna go back to rolling around on the floor in writhing agony /pos

[alipeeps]

Episode 28

OMG he is such a git! I'm love him!

Oh damn Li Lun somehow got there before them?

Your "old friend" eh? Well Wen Zongyu's definitely not going to want Princess Longyu to give Li Lun a dragon scale... cos he's counting on that poison to force Li Lun to submit to him.

Meng Xuan? Is that Wen Zongyu then? Did he go by a different name?

Oh dang, so they are blackmailing *her* to get Zhu Yan's inner core now? Jfc.

Just what DOES Wen Zongyu want the ever-burning wood for that he is willing to go to such lengths?

Uhhhh that might not be a story though?

Hahahaaaa Zhao Yuanzhou loves teasing people with flirty comments but when someone does it back to him?

Ohhh what the fuck there's a sick (pregnant?) wife and baby in Wen Zongyu's past? And he was cosying up to Princess Longyu to get a scale to heal/revive wifey? And is that what he's still trying to do with his demon experiments and his obsession with the ever-burning wood?

Ohhh so Meng Xuan was his.. apprentice? And he used his name when seducing Princess Longyu.

And... Wen Xiao's dad also called Wen Zongyu his senior? Did he also work for him?

Whyyy though would she still care to know what "Meng Xuan" wrote to her? She hated him and tried to kill him.

Oooh that's the first time I've noticed less than stellar sound production in this show. Loud atmospheric sounds of the waterfall etc and then abruptly dropped to muffled as soon as it switched to close up for a conversation.

So Zhao Yuanzhou may have promised Zhuo Yuanzhou to stop seeking death... but he's still more than willing to offer his death as a solution to any given problem.

Ugh my heart.

Oh dang, that sounds awfully familiar!!

(Although, guys, guys? Do you mind if I just maybe point out something very important that you don't seem to be considering? Zhao Yuanzhou's willingness to die for the cause aside... why has it not occurred to you to wonder what exactly Wen Zongyu wants Zhao Yuanzhou's inner core/the ever-burning wood for? Cos the answer to that question may make it imperative that he NOT get it - for any reason!!

Oh dang.

Oh fuuuuuck.... my heart....

Oh shit, once Zhuo Yichen makes up his mind, that's it. Our boy is ride or die for the Great Demon.

Seriously? They're gonna fight over this? Fall out over this?

Don't you fucking do it Zhao Yuanzhou!!

Pleeeeeease tell me this is all a clever ploy?

(I'd love for it to turn out that that whole argument about the inner core was acted out for the benefit of Chongwu camp spies, to fool them into thinking the core the Princess will bring them is real)

SO WHY GO TO ALL THAT FUCKING TROUBLE TO GET IT?!!!

Ahahahaaaa it was a set up (I sure hope that means the inner core is fake)

AHA!! I did wonder why it looked like Wen Xiao held something up but it didn't show what it was!!

Hahahaaa. Hao de.

He didn't see the fucking message and didn't know they were acting!

Mind you... to be fair to him, if he didn't know they were acting then he was the only one who didn't know Zhao Yuanzhou was fucking faking removing his inner core and sacrificing himself!!

He's sooo embarrassed cos he outright expressed his care for Zhao Yuanzhou in front of everyone...

Such fucking fondness in the way Zhao Yuanzhou looks at him!!

Oh nice girl, get your revenge...

Oh shiiitt... the way Zhao Yuanzhou reaches to comfort Wen Xiao as Princess Longyu explains that giving away her reverse scale will cause her clan to die.

Is he immune to the poison because of the demon blood experiments he's been doing all these years?

Ahhh shit he was expecting a trick and had the fake skin on so the poison never touched his skin.

I know it's not exactly honorable etc, but really guys... instead of just hanging out upstairs listening to shit go down you COULD just fucking put a few arrows in Wen Zongyu and remove his as a threat for good?

Aaaaand that's what's behind his hatred of demons and his plan to kill them all. And I am guessing that plan is what he needs the ever-burning wood for.

Dumbass

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hand-holding!!

Fuuuuck these kinds of conversations about inevitable endings do NOT bode well for the ending!!

And here's where I think the translation is a bit lacking. They keep translating it as "Don't be afraid." But what he's actually saying is "Bu yong pa". There is no use in being afraid. Which to me is not quite the same thing.

"Don't be afraid" means "Hey, don't worry/no need to worry, it'll be fine." It's reassuring.

"There is no use is being afraid" means "It's pointless being afraid, your fear serves no purpose. Things will happen the way they will regardless of your fear." It's fatalistic rather than reassuring.

Okaaaay so they are still teasing that without giving us the answer...

You FUCKERS!! WAs that a goddamn actual kiss, shown only in blurred focus from a distance?!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Well, I was gonna say there IS a fucking rush cos a) you need to save Bai Jiu and b) fucking Ao YIn is planning to steal it from you...

But to be fair Zhao Yuanzhou's got the right idea... they don't even know how to repair the damn sword...

Ying Lei is such a fucking dumbass.

"Then nothing can go wrong" Well jfc that's just tempting fate. Famous last words if ever I heard em.

Oh god pleeeease, do I really need to remind you, Ying Lei, that Ao Yin is a shapeshifter?!

(Also didn't you tag them with powder that you claimed you can use to track and identify them?)

Oh good, you're not all that stupid.

But seriously you knew Ao Yin would come for it, why would you leave only one person guarding it? And not even your strongest person at that. This is just dumb folks...

Oh? Where the fuck has this come from?

Uuuuhhh did Zhao Yuanzhou intend to let Li Lun have the dragon scale?

Or...

As I suspected!! It's not even in the box! So what is he up to? He suggested they wait to repair the sword and then he removed the scale from the box and sealed the box with a spell he knew Li Lun could break and left it guarded by only one person....

[ofswordsandpens]

racked my brain and the only time i can remember percy worrying about physically hurting annabeth before this is when he blew up mt st helens—he says he wasn’t sure she “made it out of the volcano”, and she’s the first thing he asks hephaestus about on ogygia. it seems like regular worry to me, although i think you could read guilt between the lines, and he’s more overwhelmed when he learns how big the eruption he caused was. i don’t know if rr was particularly thinking about this at the time but it would make sense as a traumatic event that sparked this fear of not being in control of his powers/feeling guilt/self-loathing about the possibility he could hurt his friends, and then the events of hoo really making it an issue. (the thread between this + thinking he deserves to die because he lost control and tortured akhkys which scared annabeth + thinking “i will never forgive myself” because he lost control and potentially hurt annabeth… aaaagh.)

yes yes yes mt st helens is a great point and I completely agree with you, that I would almost qualify it more like a regular worry because I think the distinction between this moment and the moment in cotg for me is that Percy had specifically told Annabeth to leave and go to safety, and its not like he (or anyone) knew what he was going to accidentally do, but I felt there was an argument to be made that he knew it was going to get nasty (as both him and annabeth recognized on some level that he was likely going to die there)??? And the shocker was not just him losing control but the scale of him losing control and that scale of power is what endangered Annabeth, despite his warning for her to leave. Meanwhile, in cotg, Percy loses it and controls millions of metric tons of river water and Annabeth is just, chilling on a ledge that's close enough where he had regularly been remarking on her expressions and what she had been doing in the paragraphs prior. (Honestly, he's really lucky that nothing happened to her.) So I guess its the proximity of annabeth to Percy in these moments that makes them more distinct in my eyes, if that makes any sense at all. And as soon as Percy comes back to himself in cotg, he's immediately like "oh shit did I just kill annabeth?" and it's not even him overreacting, the scene reads like he really could have, which is absolutely WILD for RR to throw in there.

The other part in pjo that I was debating if you could qualify is the death of Michael Yew because Percy was the one inadvertently responsible for it. Despite how much the pjo wikia wants to gaslight me about Michael Yew's death, its literally a canon example of Percy accidentally killing a friend as a byproduct of his powers. But like, Percy didn't lose control or "snap" in that scene, using his powers had been very intentional, it was again, the scale and the fallout that had led to Michael's death. And then Percy never thinks about it again.

But literally yes, in a perfect world where Riordan was planning all of this out and actually connected these moments with intention, mt st helens being the traumatic event that sparked the fear of not being in control of powers make SO MUCH SENSE. And since Riordan does want to characterize percy as feeling guilty and worrying about the possibility of hurting his friends, I feel like guilt over Michael Yew's death is just, sitting right there for the taking

ugh I know im rambling but there's just so much for RR to purposefully connect but instead its as if he's treating these moments where Percy snaps/loses controls/hates himself/worries about hurting others as separate, unrelated incidents while we the readers are seeing how all these events would realistically be influenced by one another and are compounding/piling on top of Percy and getting worse. It IS all connected.

[mdhwrites]

I’m disappointed by how unpopular Amphibia is on this site- I never even see it trending. I remember when Marcy’s Journal came out, and I was certain that it would trend then, yet it didn’t. Then the official art book for the show came out, and still, nothing (you’d think it featuring explicit sashanne and yulivia art would be a big deal on here, but apparently not). And now the other day, info about the upcoming graphic novel was revealed, and zilch. Meanwhile, The Owl House trends on here literally every other day despite no new content for it being released (outside of Chibiverse shorts, but those don’t seem to be the reason why it trends). It saddens me how Amphibia continues to get completely slept on while The Owl House is still extremely popular despite it not being as good of a show. It’s not fair honestly.

There is SO MUCH that goes into this. I'll actually try to keep this short on the analysis side but before I even do that: A piece of advice. Your media does not need to be the most popular to be special to you. To matter a lot to you. Nothing can take that from you. As someone who has been dealing with their fandom imploding and trying to put a little distance from it for that reason, it's good to have that joy be personal rather than too reliant on fandom. Not trying to say you haven't but it's good to be reminded.

Anyways: Why isn't Amphibia popular on social media?

1: It's non-controversial. There's no lingering elements that people are going to bring up anytime it comes up. TOH comes up and you always, ALWAYS get people talking about the shortening. There just isn't anything like that except people who probably saw the comic announcement and went "UGH! Marcy and Sasha got screwed over for the frogs AGAIN!" -_-

2: It's didn't play to a fandom. It didn't lean into shipping or fan theorizing that could be going on to this day besides Sprivy, which was less leaning into shipping and wanting to just talk about relationships, and the trio. You don't have ongoing shipping wars in part because there isn't a lot of fuel for that sort of thing. There isn't a whole plethora of attractive people that people want to ship Anne with, or unanswered questions about the show besides "Why didn't Domino let them go between the worlds!?"

3: There's no discourse. Like TOH stated a lot of things that were hot on social media. Put its thumb on the scale. Stuff like that. Then people like myself dissected what it had to say and how it said it and TOH's problems have created a community in and of itself on here dedicated to punching each other until the other gives up. This is how you get a new blog called 'DefendingtheOwlHouse' pop up almost two years after the show ended. Meanwhile, I got an ask yesterday about how people didn't ask Anne about Sasha and Marcy also having gone missing at the same time as her because with Amphibia... *shrug* It talked about universal topics like change, community, relationships and what not and did them extremely well and thoroughly so the big thing to say for that is "Go watch the show." This is how you get the unhinged takes that were making me LOSE MY MIND at one point as people kept bringing them to me because you have to go way afield in order to find something to talk about the show, good or bad, that the show doesn't just do already.

There's probably more I could think of if I tried, like the gay elements, but these are some of the bigger ones for what causes something to still drive engagement now versus a solid product that isn't constantly clamoring to be noticed. I also already made this longer than I meant to. ^^;

But again, the important thing is just to hold it close to you and let it be what it is in that way. It's cliche but everyone else's opinion doesn't matter. It's not easy of course, it's something I could do with internalizing more myself, but it's important nonetheless. See you next tale.

"Aghh!", another player groaned as he was shot in the back three times.

("Twenty down...one more to go..."), Psychic thought while reloading his paintball marker.

To Psychic, paintball was no different from taking down targets in actual missions. Lock on target from the shadows, shoot, reload. Those three simple steps applied here as well, except the targets wouldn't die. They were lucky that they'd walk away with a nasty bruise or two from it at the most. After all, there was nothing preventing him from making the little multicolored pellets hurt more than they already did.

("Hm. I like this, actually. I should thank Hood for suggesting this."), Psychic thought as he scaled down the tree he was in and began scanning his surroundings.

However, just as he finished looking around, he stopped the paintball flying towards his back and redirected it to the tree on his left.

"Come out, Void. You know that doesn't work on me.", Psychic said while rolling his eyes.

Not long after, Void emerged from the trees above and decended down right in front of Psychic.

"Aw, lighten up, will ya Psy? After all, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine!", Void exclaimed, firing another shot at him as he finished his sentence.

Psychic immediately caught the capsule and fired it back at him, with Void letting out a yelp as he barely managed to move out of the way in time.

"I'm surprised you lasted this long without Lux and Tux.", Psychic said as he prepared his marker.

"Hey, ain't my fault you took them down first. It's all about skill and survival! That's how you win!", Void said as he almost dropped his marker while trying to prepare it.

"You mean cowering behind trees and using other players as living shields?", Psychic replied, groaning in annoyance.

"Wha-?! Shut up! It's not like you're one to shoot other guys directly! You always gotta be hiding somewhere!", Void spat back.

"Am I not supposed to do that? You shoot, you win. It doesn't get more complicated than that.", Psychic said while lowering his marker slightly, starting to regret not taking him down first.

"Ugh, whatever! The point is that I'm gonna win! And you ain't gonna stop me!", Void said, pointing his own marker directly at him.

"We'll see.", Psychic said as he raised it directly at him as well.

The two simply stared at each other, eyes fixated on the other like hawks to see who would make the first move.

Then, with one pull of the trigger, a capsule was fired.

The capsule traveled right towards the other before it suddenly slammed to the ground in front of his feet.

"What?"

Void looked up and glared at Psychic with a manic grin on his face.

"Dont forget, you're not the only one who can deflect shots, pal.", Void said before firing a barrage of shots right at him.

Psychic snapped out of his initial shock and jumped between the shots like a bird flying through a canyon between trees and rocks. He then countered with his own barrage of shots, which were quickly sent barreling towards the ground like the shot before it.

"There's more where that-"

Suddenly, paintballs went flying past both Void and Psychic, just barely missing as they struck the trees in the distance.

"Who's there?!", Void exclaimed, pointing his marker in the direction the capsule came from.

Without thinking, Psychic pointed his marker in the same direction, not considering that Void could take this opportunity to shoot. Fortunately, though, Void missed this opportunity as Psychic slowly decended to the ground.

"Where the hell did those come from?", Void asked, turning to Psychic.

"There must have been another player we weren't aware of.", he replied.

...

"So, you wanna help me get em?", Void suggested.

"What?"

"Look, man, I wanna be the one to take you down and win. What if I get shot by that other guy after that? Or what about you? They almost got us back there. Come on, what do you say?"

On that note, Psychic didn't know why he was entertaining this and decided against shooting Void while he was rambling. Did he find it amusing and not realize it? Or did he feel bad for him for not taking down any players?

No, it couldn't have been the latter.

"Fine. Truce?", Psychic reluctantly proposed.

"Truce.", Void said while raising his marker, expecting Psychic to tap his against his own.

"Let's just go.", Psychic said, walking past him and preparing his own marker.

"Damn...okay assh-"

"I beg your pardon?"

"N-nothing!", Void exclaimed as he ran to catch up with him.

The two snuck around, glancing in every direction to find the third player before Void heard a rustle in the bushes and guided Psychic in the same direction towards the noise.

The two then crouched behind the trees next to the bushes, reloading their markers one last time before exchanging glances with one another.

Then, the two jumped out and began firing and shouting as loud as they could. They fired until the trees were coated in paint. They fired until their throats hurt from screaming. They fired until their markers completely ran out of ammo, and the only sounds that could be heard were the clicks of the triggers firing nothing.

Slowly, the two opened their eyes and took a look at what they had done. On the ground, the player was crouched into a ball with their back facing them and completely covered in paint. No less than a few seconds later, they turned around to reveal their face, surprising the both of them.

"Hood?!", Void exclaimed.

"Were you the one who fired those shots at us?", Psychic asked.

"Y-yep...y-you got me...and it looks like I got you guys too.", Hood pointed out.

Void and Psychic looked at each other to see a single paint stain on each other's chests.

"G-guess that means we all win, huh...h-hold on...I gotta- I gotta lie down for a sec-", Hood said before promptly passing out.

The two panicked and ran over to help their friend, taking off their helmets and discarding their markers.

"Hood! Wake up! Hood?!", Psychic shouted, shaking him and removing Hood's helmet and taking off his vest.

Void then flipped Hood on his stomach and lifted up his shirt, revealing dozens of bruises dotting his back and arms.

"Oh shi- w-well, don't just stand there! Help him!", Void shouted at Psychic, to which he lifted Hood up into his arms via telekinesis and began running while Void dialed an ambulance.

"I pay the ambulance and you pay the hospital bills?!", Psychic shouted at Void as they ran.

"Deal!"

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

may i request sve bachelors x a masc reader who is not human? idk like a dragon or some other magical being? just snippets of their chaotic lives together and the bachelors reactions to finding out what the farmer is? thanks!

Of course, dear anon! ☺️ Thanks for the ask! 🫰💕

_________________________________________

Magnus Rasmodius:

"Well... That explains a lot." Magnus was still in shock, because it wasn't every day that you saw your friend and apprentice turn into a dragon right in front of your own to knock out the Witch with a single spit of fire and make her fly away. The wizard was so struck by this fact of seeing a mythical creature that he forgot about his ex-wife and her intentions to once again try to ruin his garden.

"And what exactly is that?" Their voice hasn't changed in any way, it's still the same Farmer. The huge reptile didn't seem to be worried about hiding at all anymore.

"Such a powerful flow of magic within you that I felt when we first met."

Magnus stepped a little closer, never stopping to gaze into the ruby-red scales that glistened under the moonlight.

"I’m just wondering: why didn’t you introduce yourself from the very beginning that you are not entirely human?"

"Well, how did you imagine that? 'Hello Mr. Wizard, I am a dragon. Nice to meet ya', or something like that?" In a second, Farmer turned back into his human form, and for some reason he scratched the back of his head nervously.

"You're not going to turn me in to the Ministry, are you?"

"If you promise not to scorch my tower and whole Pelican Town all over. And no flying with Morgan," like a child, Magnus threatened the Farmer with a finger, to which the 'not quite human' snorted a little defiantly, but after a moment nodded to the wizard in agreement.

Lance:

Lance had seen many wonders in his adventurous life, but climbing on the dragon's back while waiting to fly was an indescribable sensation. To be honest, the pink-haired man never realised how he had immediately agreed to Farmer's invitation to fly in the Highlands.

*Chuckle* Yesterday, his spouse announces that he is a dragon, and today they already offered to fly together.

Spreading his mighty wings, the Farmer spread out and soared into the sky, cutting through the wind and laughing loudly.

"Hold on tight, Lance."

And he did - wrapped his arms around the dragon's massive neck and held on as tightly as he could, preparing to fly.

"One flight and you'll be forever the envy of everyone who can soar in the sky!" Rejoicing and flapping hid wings louder, Farmer flew higher and higher as Lance looked at the clouds up close and marvelled at how quickly they had gotten off the ground.

It was definitely a day he would never forget.

Victor:

"Dear, c'mon, this is ridiculous! You took the news quite ok, so what makes you think your mom would react any differently?" Farmer would never have thought that his lover would push them through the window of his house like that. As if they were both some teenagers!

"Because - ugh, you're heavy! - Because my mother and I are different people! I want to bring her to the truth that you're not human step by step. So you need to fly away before she sees you."

"Hey, what do you mean, heavy? You hurt my feelings! Besides, Olivia's gonna be fine with it. It's not like I'm a thief or a murderer or... anything bad."

Victor exhaled tiredly and and gave up on trying to push the Farmer further into the window, as Farmer's scaly wings were just getting in the way.

"Let's take it slow. Please, love..." Here we go, Victor's puppy dog eyes again, Farmer thought. After all, this spaghetti lover knows perfectly well that this is Farmer's weakness.

"All right, have it your way, but I can just transfo..." Before Farmer could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door of the room.

"Victor! I heard some noise. What happened there?"

"Oh, Mother is here! Quick, you need to leave-" in a flash the Farmer took on human form again, just as Olivia came in.

"Victor Jenkins! Why is your room such a mess- Oh, Farmer! I didn't realise you had stopped by for a visit! Come on downstairs, I'll make jasmine tea for everyone."

Victor's heart was pounding frantically. His mother would have had to take a sedative instead of tea if she had seen Farmer in his dragon form. At least Farmer had listened to him in time, phew.

[straykids-97]

Just had a thought… 💭

A 400 follower surprise 🖤🫶🏻 thanks for following me. Also, thank you for supporting my account as well.

Rating Ateez/Stray kids on a scale from 1-10 on who would be a dom.

Starting off w Ateez 🫶🏻🖤

Kim Hongjoong

9/10

He would have been a solid 10, but because of his introverted personality and ability to be soft, I give him a 9. But, still, don’t disobey him cuz he’ll keep track… 👀 If I had to say what kind of Dom Hongjoong would be, I would have to say he's a HEAVY pleasure leaning. Though, I also feel like he'd tease and like to make fun of his subs, calling them 'dumb' or things like that. I also feel like because of his creative nature, he'd have very interesting ways to discipline his subs as well.

Park Seonghwa

6.5/10

I feel like he’s Dom leaning but he’s gentle with everyone around him. He was almost a 7, but he’s too soft to be demanding enough. But, he can be stern, so I feel like Hwa can definitely be at least a soft dom, pleasure-leaning. Also, feel like he'd be really kinky. IDK why. Hwa would be so into teasing, just watching his sub be whiny and needy would melt him.

Jeong Yunho

10/10

Solid 10. NEVER TRUST AN EXTROVERT GOLDEN RETRIEVER. Like c’mon PEOPLE. He ain’t got no business being the way he is. And that’s a damn MENACE TO SOCIETY. Like, gaw damn. I'm too down bad for this man. He's not even my ult bias LMFAO. Whew. Let's just say, when he gives you this look, just pray either you're on the way home or that there is somewhere mostly private because it is OVER for you. Also, he's an Aries, enough said.

Kang Yeosang

5/10

He’s waaaay too squishy. I feel if you pushed enough he’d start to bite back, if you catch my drift. Poor baby is so clueless most of the time so I don’t know if he’d be able to keep up with a sub. But, he can easily switch when needed. I feel like he'd be more a soft dom, letting you know who's really in charge when needed. I feel like he'd want to be dominant in whatever relationship he seeks out, just because NEVER trust the quiet ones. They tend to be freaky. That's why Yeo get's a 5.

Choi San

5.5/10

(I feel like this one is going to be controversial lol) I feel like he has the potential to be a Dom, if anything, a pleasure Dom. He’s not someone who’s into brat-taming or anything like that. He spanks you, but only does it playfully, never as a punishment. If he ever were to punish you, it would be the silent treatment, consisting of him being pouty until you apologize. It's not typical of him to be dom leaning, he even insists you acting bratty, it amuses him more than anything. But, GOD FORBID you make him look a fool... Not even Satan can help you.

Song Mingi

5/10

I wish. WISH this man were more Dom, but he’s not 😭. He’s definitely a switch, if he were to Dom, it would be more pleasure than anything. Ugh ;-; I don’t think y’all understand how bad I wanted to rate him higher, but I can’t. Princess Mingi is evidence that he is not fully Dom 💔 though I could totally see him embracing the punishment side for mostly his pleasure, I don't see him being a dom most of the time. I feel like if he were to Dom, it would be mostly to entertain his 'sub'. He would definitely be into dummification, get off on making fun and calling you names.

Jung Wooyoung

6.5/10

Soft Dom Central ‼️ my man Woo can take the bratty out of a brat by using their weapons against them. Though, once he’s fed up, he’d fed up. Best not to make him too mad. I also feel like he’d definitely have unique punishments as well. Not the typical sexual punishments that you might expect, it might be something like, oh, you want to read, should have thought about that before you flirted with that guy at the coffee shop. (You didn't actually, but because his possessive and gets jealous easily, he thought so).

Choi Jongho

10/10

10. Why? Tell me that this man isn’t a Dom, when he gives you one of these. My man EXUDES Dom energy. Like meanie, laugh in your face while you cry, edging, overstimulating, spit in your open mouth, smack your face while fucking you 1000% Hard Dom. Don't trust a quiet man, never. Them introverts sometimes will getcha. And Jongho doesn't seem to fuck around. He's more of a 'fuck around and find out'. I feel like he'd tie up his sub and tease you, an unbothered King, as his sub literally cries. Meanie :(

And NOW for Stray Kids 🫶🏻

Bang 'Christopher' Chan

9.5/10

I don't even want to talk about it. He would be a 10 but he's too squishy and cute to be so. But, he definitely is a 9.5 because gaw damn. Chan is definitely a brat tamer. He likes to watch you acting 'silly' and 'dumb'. He thinks it's adorable when you try to make him mad, cuz damn he's got the patience of a saint. But he wait until Chan gets you alone... He let's his sub do whatever they want in public, even making a fool of themselves. And then when they get home, LAWD TAKE THE WHEEL.

Lee Minho

8/10

Lee Know let me tell you something, *scoots closer* is a meanie. He would laugh in his sub's face while calling them dumb, or something slanderous like 'whore'. Or both. Depends on how mad they make him. Also likes to tease and edge his sub, and laugh at them. :(: You cannot tell me the Lee Minho is not a meanie when he doms. He would laugh at his sub and make them shake and just keep teasing until they're sobbing. But they never say their safe word, so he doesn't stop.

Seo Changbin

7/10

I give Changbin a 7 because I feel like mans is too soft to be more stern. But, rest assured, he'll put his foot down if you get a little too handsy with someone other than him. Probably a soft Dom, tbh. He'll make you feel all gooey while telling you horrendous things... (Go wild w that heh.) I feel like he'd tie up his subs and suspend them just so he can move them around however he pleases.

Hwang Hyunjin

5.5/10

I don't think Hyunjin would dom, if he would, then he'd definitely be a soft dom, and only when his sub asked. HOWEVER. Don't push his buttons because I feel like he's all about orgasm denial... Just because he wants the session to last longer, and he also likes to watch his sub writhe around and loves to hear their moans. He would definitely be so into food play or even paint play (wrote a fic about this). He's just so artsy, and I feel like that would stem into his sexual life as well.

Han Jisung

3/10

Poor Hannie. Tsk. If anything, Han would be a switch, more sub-leaning. He's too soft and doughy to be rough or mean with anyone. That doesn't mean he won't occasionally try just for you though... I feel like he would be more into making his significant other orgasm rather than orgasm himself. A definite giver for sure.

Lee 'Felix' Yongbok

1/10

I can't give him a zero, so I give him a one. The only thing dominant about this man would be his deep voice, which he would use to his advantage. But, if he had a Dom bone in his body, it would be like, his pinkie toe. His skzoo is literally a chick, like, c'mon. Personally, I don't feel like Felix could be mean enough while being a Dom, he'd be constantly worried about his sub, too worried about their well being rather than if they're enjoying themselves.

Kim Seungmin

8.5/10

I feel like Seungmin gets slept on. NEVER trust the quiet ones. They're reserved for a reason. It's because they have secrets. Seungmin has proved he can intimate his older band members, so I'm sure this man could easily do this to anyone, regardless of age. That being said, I feel like Seungmin is too rough to be a soft dom but too nice to be a hard dom. So, he's in the middle somewhere heh. I feel like he has the potential of being a hard/ meanie dom when needed, so it's entirely up to the sub how he'll act for them.

Yang 'I.N.' Jeongin

8/10

Like Seungmin, I.N. get's SLEPT on. He's often not seen as someone who can be a dom because he's seen as the 'baby' of the group. But, as I have said before. NEVER TRUST A QUIET MAN! Quiet men are ALWAYS freaky. They be shy for a reason. This man has a point to prove, he ain't a baby. And I feel like he'd definitely be a hard/pleasure dom. And like Seungmin, his sub chooses how he'll treat them. Be a good sub, and you'll have endless pleasure. Be bad and well, he's got plenty of ways to discipline them.

I hope you all liked this! It's all personal thoughts based on what I have seen of them. THIS IS IN NO WAY how they really are. This is me simply rating them on a scale if they would/ could ever dom.

Anyway, enjoy! Posting a poll for the second part of The Red Saga soon!

Praxas reacts, part 5:

Yes!

She's free.

And I didn't turn her into a mind flayer.

Two points for me!

Suck it, prick brain.

Nooo!

I saved the defective one...

There must be some mind flayer technomagic gobbledygook around here to fix it. Could I undo the other one and get her out instead?

Who the fuck cares that my bossy friend is a githyanki?!

I'm a scary ice dragon that walks upright.

I have spikes coming out of my head.

And my jaw.

Have you seen my teeth?

I have the moniker of a pretentious asshole, and my right prick for a brain wants to kill and eat bloody everything!

I know that my scales are very pretty, and I'm tall, but I am a damn sight scarier than she is.

Ugh, get it together, man...

Wretched thing, pull yourself together.

Oh, sod off, prick brain!

I might be a mess, but you're getting eaten by a parasite. How do you like that, hmm?

Go back to your corner and think about chewing on illithid tentacles.

I have important things to do, like surviving.

Now, listen here: we do not judge people based on their species.

Understand?

I know she wanted to leave you behind, but that's not why she upset you.

I was in your head; I know it was speciesism.

That is not ok.

You're going to have to work on that if I keep you around.

Oh, not the sad eyes!

Could pluck them out and eat them...

Ugh, prick brain! Shut the fuck up!

I suppose if I leave her here, she'll never learn to be more open-minded, will she?

I am not giving her that pretentious shit name my brain wants me to call myself, however.

I'm Praxas.

Wow.

That is equally pretentious.

Come to think of it, my bossy little friend hasn't given me her name.

I wonder if she'll tell me...

Oh, you do not disappoint, do you?

Do I have to save your life first?

Best you in combat?

I can do that. Just watch me.

Bloody adorable.

And bossy...

Oh, yes, I like you.

Shadowheart, on the other hand, doesn't.

This might be a problem.

Eh, worries for another day.

Although... a woman with a braid who also wears a tiara really does not like my adorable, bossy little friend.

Hmm...

This feels... oddly familiar.

I wonder why.

Really trying to get the vibes of the messy messy Paul/Irulan dynamic that lives in my fic and it's hard because we really don't see all too much of their actual relationship dynamic in the books? They're almost never together. All we really know is Irulan is kind of a disaster, Paul pretty much ignores her, she reeeeeally wants him assassinated but also obsessively writes down everything he says. There's some real interesting nuggets in there though, especially combined with how their characters have been shown so far in the movies.

ramblings under the cut:

Because while Irulan still is very much plotting against Paul, 1) the specific Thing I'm working on partly takes place immediately after Part 2 i.e. a long time before that so one of the things I'm working on is figuring out how their relationship evolves over that time and 2) what fascinates me about their relationship is that in a lot of ways it's an inverse of Paul and movie!Chani's. Both women are very much Not Happy with him, but their reasons are reversed. Chani knew him, loved him, and by the end of the film has been deeply betrayed by him on a personal level. For sure they end as political enemies as well, but the main source of strife between them is emotional.

And then Irulan is almost exactly the opposite. She has presumably never met Paul and knows little about him, but (at least in my version/interpretation) is somewhat fascinated by the idea of what he is now. And contrary to Chani, her reasons for conflict with him are about 90% political. Sure, he disposed her father, but I think Irulan - unlike Paul at the beginning and by extension Leto - understands how shaky the rule of a royal family really is and clearly sees the behind the scenes workings of all that it takes to keep that kind of rule in place. Her father killed his, and now he is taking revenge. Of course that results in some level of emotional baggage, but I think she gets it in a way. She's analytical and calculating, and sees this more as a political move on his part than a personal one. He's a threat to her status, to the Imperium as she knows it, but these threats are the sort she would be used to dealing with as an emperor's daughter, albeit on a lesser scale than what he brings.

So on one hand we have Chani's highly-emotional-but-wrapped-up-in-political-views conflict with Paul, and on the other we've got Irulan's emotionally-distant-but-based-in-large-scale-political-motions conflict with him. It's a very different vibe.

I'm also trying to sort out what will hopefully end up being some VERY messy complicated Feelings on her part. There's a whole spectrum of like:

"Who does this kid think he is???"

"...he kind of scares me"

".......he kind of scares me and I hate that a part of me is kind of into it"

"this BITCH took my dad's throne that could've been mine maybe if the patriarchy didn't exist how DARE he you little shit you won't get away with this istg I'm going to slit your throat --"

"wait ok if things weren't so fucked up you'd actually be a crazy interesting person hold still so I can put your brain in a test tube you weirdo"

"genuinely kind of wish I was just loved. No not by my husband ugh buuuut it's a shame our marriage sucks ass can't he just Be Nice"

"look how hard I'm manipulating him I'm such a girlboss he thinks he's won but I'm manipulating him soooo hard right now good job me"

"...this little shit doesn't scare me"

KYLE CROUSE: And our next question! "Sonic’s dead. Nope, that’s it. He’s just dead. No, Eggman didn’t defeat him. No, there wasn’t some tragic accident or ultimate sacrifice. He died in his sleep. Why? Beats me. Maybe it was cardiac arrest from having one too many chili dogs at Chocola’s birthday bash. Who knows? Regardless, he is dead. What is the reaction from Sonic’s friends, foes, and most importantly Eggman to the blue hedgehog’s sudden and underwhelming demise?"

IAN FLYNN: Well, his friends are devastated, obviously. They're torn out of the frame. This is... not something they would have foreseen, or wanted, or were prepared for. Uh, most of the rivals? They're rather upset too, like... Jet's gonna be pissed that he doesn't get a chance to show up Sonic one last time, establish himself as the true Speediest There Is. It's gonna bother him a lot! Shadow? Uh, you know how emotive he is, but he's extra quiet and broody for a little bit. KYLE: Mhm. IAN: Eggman, I imagine, would seize upon the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, because who's going to stand in his way now, mua ha ha ha! His friends are- Sonic's friends are rallied to action because they're gonna fight in his memory, and things go on for a little bit as they do, and then Eggman's chutzpah behind the whole thing just kinda peters out. It's just not the same. There's no Sonic, and it's- it's not like the War, y'know, he won that. He beat Sonic -- or at least, his minions did. The point is, it was his victory, he could claim it! KYLE: Mhm. IAN: Now there's no Sonic, there- and he's not coming back. There's no surprise last-minute confrontation, it's just him and the Fuzzy Buddies. KYLE: Yay. IAN: And eventually, I think would just kinda, like, peter out. He's not even showing up to fight anymore. He's just kinda sittin' there going, "Now what? I mean, I wanna do it, but I just- I don't have the drive to do it anymore." So he starts, like, targeting each of the friends, trying to get them to rise up to Sonic's caliber. He needs that challenge! He doesn't have the drive anymore! "Tails, get up here! Prove yourself! ...No? Still too early? Ugh, hurry it up." KYLE: [chuckling] I'm getting very much a Megamind sort of deal here. Eventually he becomes the hero! [laughs] IAN: [laughs] KYLE: I feel like this was a Boom episode. Like, we didn't- it's not a new Boom episode, it's one that already happened. IAN: [chuckles] KYLE: But, y'know... [chuckles]
