Zane... Ooooooooh boy...

I really really like the Wyldfyre shorts, they're a great way to explore Wyldfyre's grief without having to dedicate screentime from the main show.

At the same time, excuse me Wyldfyre, what did you just say he told you?

I am annoyed more so at the writers and not the character, tho his character is a close second.

The ONLY good thing about his character from Crystalized just got thrown out and into the garbage for... No reason?

And this isn't like, Wyldfyre being an unreliable narrator, because she's literally quoting him, even if it's in condensding manner, and you can't tell me Zane doesn't know the difference between Humans and Nindroids... Like- ugh...

I'm just upset, S1 of DR had his character pretty well I'd say, but S2 has just NOT BEEN IT in the slightest, they seen to be doubling down repeatedly on his robot self and not his human self, and I'm sorry but there's not even any comparison between the two when it comes to which one I like more...

Zane's whole thing was that he was a very very VERY human machine, a person even, and it seemed like he could function as a machine while still maintaining his humanity and personality.

Now, with what we've had since SotFS and now this line, it feels like that balance has completely gone out of whack, it feels like he's favouring his robot self over his human one, and there's nothing inherently wrong that.

Unless... You repeatedly literally don't do anything with his character and just keep building up on the fact that he's "Silly nice robot man :p", and especially when you use his 'Cardboard Cutout' character during the Wildbrain Era as a sort of justification for his current character state.

Mind you, that Cardboard Cutout didn't go through a single character arc up until Crystalized to justify making him feel so much more robotic, and it's hella infuriating when you remember they TRIED to give him an arc after SotFS (Tommy said that they previously wanted to have a Zane PTSD/Depression arc for Prime Empire that was scrapped).

If you can't tell, I'm not happy with his current currently in the slightest...

Fun Breakdown Fact of the Day: in an older transformers web game from the Hasbro games site, Breakdown has a boss fight where he uses a similar vibration ability to G1 Breakdown, and almost exactly the same as Wildbreak's in RID15!

woke up with this stuck in my head... it's really difficult to overstate the sheer charm in Stan Freberg's vocals. at all times, but his role as Cecil especially! i feel i toss around words like "undiscovered" or "underrated" around too much but Time for Beany really is a gem i would love to see get more love

SAG-AFTRA IS STRIKING AGAIN

This time, for video games.

Some key information:

They are striking so all performers will have protection against AI

The struck companies are those signed to the Interactive Media Agreement

The listed companies by SAG-AFTRA include Activision Productions Inc, Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc, Electronic Arts Productions Inc, Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc, Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc, VoiceWorks Productions Inc and WB Games Inc. Though this may not be everyone.

Important things from the FAQ:

Some games from struck companies are non-struck (due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement still being in effect)

Localisations will be affected if covered under the Interactive Localization Agreement

Actors who are part of SAG-AFTRA cannot work for non-union or independent/low-budged productions during the strike unless they are signed to an Interim Interactive Media Agreement, Interim Interactive Localization Agreement or a Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Media Agreement

Similarly to the previous strike, struck work cannot be promoted. This includes accepting awards for performances in struck games. This does NOT include hosting/performing a skit at an awards show and San Diego Comic Con (the latter due to the close proximity to the calling of the strike)

As implied by the point above, SAG-AFTRA performers cannot partake in panels related to struck games or companies, including finished games produced by struck companies

The best way to check if a game is struck is to use the search tool provided by SAG-AFTRA

Most importantly: You are NOT being asked to stop playing video games, as highlighted in the FAQ for creators and streamers. This does NOT cross the picket line. Though please do talk about the strike and show your solidarity

I expect to see the same amount of support from y'all that we saw in the last strike. Just because it's video games doesn't mean performers deserve any less support and protection.

Also please reblog with any additions (with sources - we are NOT here to spread misinformation)! And please correct me if anything listed here is incorrect.

Man why'd they have to make the monetization and many features so bad/unpolished and so much content missing with such a fun story

[badtzbot]

i have to say the relationship that smoker has with the asl brothers is fucking hilarious. luffy pissed him off so badly one singular time that he followed the guy halfway into the grand line and then also into the new world just to track him down. he had to accept help from his crew in defeating crocodile and luffy did it via becoming a water balloon. and then tashigi, who he's responsible for, cried about it. he hates luffy and luffy calls him smokey and doesn't gaf. ace.... do i even have to say anything. they did it nasty sloppy style. ace annoyed the fuck out of him and you KNOW it. smoker tried to confront him in alabasta and luffy SMASHED ALL THREE OF THEM THROUGH A WALL. and then luffy escaped because ace played diversion! and smoker can't even Actually do anything because ace is a wb pirate and he canNOT afford to anger them. and sabo. i just know when smoker met sabo in movie stampede he was already like fuck me why is the ra here and then sabo was like "luffys my little brother" and smoker just wanted to straight up kill himself. he was like FUCK ME theres ANOTHER ONE OF THEM ????? and then he has to fucking work with the guy for the greater good. again.

and the rest of the family too. he can't even yell at garp because he's one of the few superior officers smoker respects. smoker's life is just a constant aneurysm and you KNOW it's bad when the one he, a marine, has the least beef with is the fucking LEADER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY. smoker i hope your blood pressure goes down because between this and the cigars you're gonna die before you reach 40

[kingkatsuki]

The thought of having a threesome with Sakura and any of the other WB guys has me dizzy. 🥵 Imagining him being the center of attention and watching him become flustered over being kissed and touched repeatedly - you don’t even need to do much until he’s losing his mind. You’re teasingly sucking him off and tell the other guy to make out with him. He’s hesitant at first but accepts and immediately cums the second their tongues invade each other’s mouths. 🫠 And that’s only round one. 🤪

It’s the way he thinks that the focus is going to be on you, and that he’s there to learn how to pleasure someone and yet you and whoever you’re with hone in on him.

(I’m already writing a Kaji x Sakura x Reader fic right now so let me pick Togame)

You can feel how tense he is as you rub soothing circles along his thighs, stiff all the way down to the tips of his toes as he tries to stop himself from creaming his boxers. A pool of pre already darkens the fabric as it tacks to his skin uncomfortably as he shifts beneath you, and your voice does the opposite of calming him as you murmur a delicate “relax.”

It’s more lewd than anything when he watches Togame undo your bra, the fabric dropping to the curve of your elbows as his hands reach around to palm your naked breasts.

“Is this the first time you’ve seen someone’s tits, Sakura?” Togame asks. And he doesn’t even know how to answer, because he sees Tsugeura’s all the time so he has right? But somehow it doesn’t make his body feel the same when he looks up at yours, noticing the way Togame’s fingers dip into the plush of them before rolling your taut nipples between his index and middle fingers.

You’re so pretty like this, Sakura thinks, definitely the prettiest person he’s ever laid eyes on as he tries to will himself to touch you too— wishing he could reach out to touch your breasts like Togame is right now, before he settles on patting your bare knees on either side of him.

“I wanna see you kiss.” You hum, rolling your hips down into Sakura’s lap as he feels the warmth radiating from beneath your thin panties. It almost feels like it could burn him, like molten lava flowing through your veins as he finds himself bucking into your touch.

He doesn’t expect Togame to flop down beside him, and he definitely doesn’t expect him to reach out to cup his cheek and pull him into a languid kiss that’s all tongue and teeth. It’s not as nice as kissing you, Togame’s lips are nowhere near as soft and he doesn’t taste like warm vanilla— but there’s something about the way his tongue strokes against the roof of his mouth, mapping out every inch of unexplored territory that has Sakura groaning low and deep in his chest. The noise drowned out through Togame’s mouth as it gives just enough of a distraction for you to pull Sakura’s cock out.

“I didn’t expect you to be this big,” You coo gently, “You’re almost as long as Jou.”

And it’s lucky you did; because he’s certain if he’d watched you wrap your pouty lips around his cock he would’ve cum on sight. More desperate whines tumble from the back of his throat as your tongue swipes at the messy pearl of pre that beads at his tip, dragging your tongue along the length of him before starting an eager pace.

“You look so pretty when you cum, Sakura,” You smile, pressing your lips to the tip of his spent cock, “Good boy.”

Sakura expects you to stop when he cums, pulling away from Togame’s lips to watch you swallow every drop his balls have got to offer as he shoots messy ropes against your tongue— but he doesn’t expect you to venture further. Soft fingertips spreading his cheeks apart as you lick a strip along his pulsing taint, pulling more debauched noises from the back of his throat as you lay the flat of your tongue against his tight asshole.

“You like that, sweetheart?” Togame coos down at you, as Sakura tricks himself into thinking it was for him. The pet name has his cock throbbing as his hips jerk against the soft mattress.

Because he does like it— more than he ever thought was possible as you make out sloppily with his tight hole. Surprised that you wouldn’t be put off by him, or think it were dirty— but if it felt this good surely it couldn’t be bad? Although the pleasure shooting through him was becoming too much, too overwhelming.

And perhaps he could handle it. Endure the salacious touches you give him that feel like pure torture, but Togame’s wicked tongue continues talking. That lazy drawl that seems to send shockwaves directly to his cock as he explains how good you are at eating ass, how amazing your tongue feels, how much tighter your pussy is— not that Sakura needs to hear any of that, he can feel the way you tease him. The sensation has his half-hard cock standing to full attention again as the weight of it lays flat against his pelvis.

“But what about you?” Sakura manages to rasp as he watches you intently, completely focused on his pleasure.

“What about me?” You tilt your head to the side as it rests against his inner thigh and you look so fucking cute Sakura has to bite back a moan.

“You’re—” He scrunches his nose, unsure how to even phrase his question, “You haven’t?”

You slide a hand down your body as it disappears between your thighs and beneath the black panties you’re wearing as you hold two fingers up to the air. Scissoring them wide as Sakura sees the silvery strings of slick that webs between them, making his cock pulse in response.

“I promise she’s enjoying this more than the both of us,” Togame scoffed as you offered him your fingers to taste, whining as his lips wrapped around them to clean them of your essence before you moved your attention back to Sakura.

“Do you do this a lot?”

“Not really,” Togame shrugs, “Maybe once or twice with Choji, so I guess you must be special.”

Sakura’s response is practically a whimper when your tongue tries to bully its way past the first ring of muscle, bringing one of your spit-soaked fingers to his tight hole as you wiggle it inside him to the first knuckle— feeling just how tight he is, and Sakura thinks he may pass out from pleasure alone. He’s never felt like this before.

But it all becomes too much when Togame reaches out to wrap a large palm around the base of him, giving a slow teasing pump as he swipes his thumb against Sakura’s slit to collect the fresh pre that oozes out of him.

“Spit on it for me, pretty girl.” Togame coos, as he holds Sakura’s cock steady as both men watch you pout your lips and spit a glob of spit against the tip. Allowing your boyfriend to smear it along Sakura’s length as lube as the wet schlick of it begins to echo around your bedroom.

Sakura thought he was there to fuck you— and yet he’s completely succumb to pleasure as you both work him towards another climax, looking down at you between his thighs as you begin to poke and prod your tongue against his fluttering rim before asking with sugary sweetness, “So who do you want to fuck you first, Sakura?”

gn!reader. 393 words. just a lil word dump of my current WB favorite <3

thinking about togame jo and how slow he moves. you’ve always been a fast walker, a fast speaker, always in such a rush. but when you meet togame, he teaches you to relax, to slow down, to take a pause and smell the roses.

“why are ya always in such a rush?” he asks you one day, lounging on the patio of his apartment. he’s in his shishitoren jacket, the orange meshing deliciously with the sunglasses perched on his nose. a toothpick occupies his mouth as his fingers card through your hair, your head in his lap on the wicker couch he brought up when he first moved in.

you shrug. truthfully be told, you don’t know where it came from; the likely source was work, but you’d always been a kid that moved at high speeds. prone to accidents from going too fast, enjoying going eighty in a fifty in your beater car on the highway, skinned knees and bruised chins numbing you to real pain. you were addicted to the thrill, to the fast pace of the city, but sometimes you did yearn for a space to calm down.

not to mention, you could get used to his fingers lazily scratching at your scalp.

“dunno,” you finally say, “jus’ feel like i’m always late for something.”

his chest rumbles with a chuckle as he leans down, pressing a kiss to your lips. “well, ya know ya can slow down w’me anytime.” the request hangs in the air as he looks off at the sunset. the toothpick is tight between his lips as he chews on it, as if contemplating something.

"why are you always moving so slowly? don't people get pissed off with you about how late you are to things?" you shoot back. A smirk tugs at togame's lips as he looks back down at you, a twinkle in his eye. "do ya really think anybody's gonna try 'n get me on that?" he says smoothly, his tone level. you huff. fair point.

instead of bantering again, you nestle into his lap, the hours of sunbathing smoothing out your buzzing brain into something much quieter…a soft, gentle hum, coming from togame’s chest as he rumbles out a lazy tune, as if lulling you to sleep.

your eyes flutter shut.

yeah...slowing down with togame was something you could get used to.

[hero-israel]

sorry if this is a dumb question and i understand if you don't want to answer but do you have links to posts explaining why israel isn't an apartheid state? i swear i read posts like that on your blog before but i don't know how to refind them

Israeli Arabs have legal equality with Jews. Same restaurants, same pools, same seats on the bus, same voting rights. I would favorably compare the treatment of Israeli Arabs with that of any minority group in any country on Earth.

The West Bank has a military occupation, with (pretty fast) checkpoints and no right to vote about the government running that military. Military occupations are bad and some of us have been against this particular one for decades. The anti-occupation movement hasn't gotten anywhere, they've just been stuck. Being stuck in a military occupation for X more years doesn't make it apartheid, just like being stuck in a bad marriage for X more years doesn't make you divorced. Meanwhile, the 2020 Abraham Accords showed that multiple Arab states were willing to accept this unchanging status quo and deal with Israel as it is. Those two factors - the stagnant, unchanging nature of the occupation, and the clear loss of interest in the Palestinian cause - combined to have the latest crop of awareness-raising college interns at some shifty NGOs try to force change by abracadabra'ing together a new concept of "apartheid" that exists solely for Israel. And it is working, just like "Christ-killer" and "stabbed Germany in the back" worked.

In 2010, Human Rights Watch published an extremely critical report on Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Dragged them up one wall and down the other. Yet there was no accusation of "apartheid" there. In the report, page 33, they cited a lawsuit by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel that had said it was apartheid for the West Bank military occupation authorities to ban Palestinians from driving on Highway 443 after repeated firebombings / shootings against Israelis. The Israeli High Court ruled that it was inappropriate to ban Palestinians from the road, and it re-established their equal driving access - they have had it ever since. The court also said that the accusation of apartheid behind that now-ended ban was dishonest, because the security concerns were not based on race; there were and are no "Jewish-only" roads anywhere, even when WB Palestinians were denied road access, Israeli Arabs could and did drive there. The HRW 2010 report included a long summary of that finding, without challenge. As bad as they saw Israel, they agreed it wasn't apartheid.

Then in 2020 came the Abraham Accords, so while nothing at all had changed in the administration of the West Bank, in 2021 HRW said it actually was apartheid. It really is that simple. The most famous legal convention banning apartheid specifies that it is race-based. HRW instead went with a different legal convention on apartheid, one that says it could be based on national origin if it involves discrimination among citizens of the same country.... and then they up and added their own twist to that, saying they will consider it apartheid if there is discrimination based on national origin AMONG PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CITIZENS OF THE SAME COUNTRY. In a very real sense, HRW declared Mexico is an apartheid state because Americans can't vote in its elections.

In 2022, Amnesty International followed with their own report, saying that not only was the military occupation now "apartheid," but that Israel itself had been an apartheid state ever since it was established in 1948. This moral perversion had the effect of saying Israel literally INVENTED apartheid since in May 1948 it didn't even exist in South Africa yet. It also said that Amnesty International - founded 1961 - had been looking at an apartheid the whole time but never recognized it. To make things even more dishonest, Amnesty said they "are not claiming Israeli conditions are analogous to South Africa," meaning anything that shows how Israel is different from South Africa doesn't count. They're using the South African word for the South African policy but it's actually not like South Africa at all so be quiet, neener neener no backsies.

I shouldn't have to take that seriously. Neither should anyone. Palestinians and their advocates should be ashamed to have to lean on such an obvious bad-faith lie.

Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013, never once accused Israel of apartheid, and instead repeatedly said he supported Zionism and a 2-state solution. Mandela's lawyer, still alive, says the accusation is a lie. Mansour Abbas, leader of the Arab Islamist party that joined Israel's governing coalition in 2021, says the accusation is a lie. And if people want to bandy around NGO business cards, here is the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2017:

“The Red Cross was very familiar with the regime that prevailed in South Africa during the apartheid period, and we are responding to all those who raise their claim of apartheid against Israel: No, there is no apartheid here, no regime of superiority of race, of denial of basic human rights to a group of people because of their alleged racial inferiority. There is a bloody national conflict, whose most prominent and tragic characteristic is its continuation over the years, decades-long, and there is a state of occupation. Not apartheid.”

There's a lot more you can see about the shifty terminology, unreliable sourcing, and longstanding culture of antisemitism and racism within Amnesty International. People who can cite chapter and verse of why the Salvation Army, Autism Speaks, Chik-Fil-A and Harry Potter are problematic should not be shocked.

wb baby blurb for remus taking care of clingy/needy drunk reader who just keeps babbling compliments and praise to remus

"I don't think you should go out with Marlene again," Remus jokes.

You smile at him. Your eyes are shiny with some of Marlene's eyeshadow pen, a glossy looking pink that shines iridescent when you move. He wipes at the smudge of it travelling to your cheek.

"I know why you think that," you say, voice heavy with the weight of your intoxication, "but I should. Here's why you should let me–"

He cuts off what is likely a very long list with a quick kiss. "Dove, I'm not going to stop you."

You glow at his fondness. "Oh."

"Yeah, oh. When have I ever stopped you from doing what you want to do? Like when you insisted you could double the pumpernickel recipe, and we were eating bread four times a day for the week."

"That was nice bread, handsome, you know it was. You loved it."

He frames your face with both hands. Your head shifts in his lap, and your eyes widen ever so slightly, lashes fluttering.

"Ooh, you're handsome," you say, like it's a revelation. "You're lovely, look at..." Your hand presses clumsily to his cheek, fingertips unafraid as they ride the ridge of his worst scar. "Look at you."

He can't stand that, can't stand being looked at like he's something worth looking at, but when it's you. He can accept it, even if he doesn't believe it.

"My handsome boyfriend," you say, you're still going, you're tracing over his face like you have a hundred times before.

"My drunken fool," he mumbles.

"You have such a nice face. You have these pretty things," you say, pulling the skin under his eyes, "and this nose. You have the best nose ever. Ever ever." Your lips are shining with maybe spit or maybe lip gloss. He presses the pad of his thumb to it to wipe it away.

"Thank you, dovey," he says.

You deserve over the two peaks of his top lip. "For what? Ohhh, you are so hinting for a kiss." You slam your eyes shut, screwed too tight. "Okay, I'm ready. Please."

Your 'please' is what gets him. He strokes your cheeks. "You're sure you're ready?" he asks, entertaining your melodrama.

"Triple sure."

"Okay. Hang on to your seat," he says.

You twist your hand into his t-shirt. He leans over your, tilting his head and torso to one side to align your faces, and his lips ghost against yours. You lift yourself off of his knee to encourage a firmer press, and he holds your head carefully in place. He tries to make it as Prince Charming as possible, all the gentleness and magic of your very first.

You sigh against him. He knows he's managed it.

"Handsome and a really good kisser," you praise, awed.

He has to hide his smile in your cheek.

Sooo i was the one who requestet the flower/ gift think and it turned out so good! Better then i could have imagined, thank you!

You wouldnt mind writing for kiryu too would you? Its fine if you dont want to but he's my favourite of WB and i wouldnt mind you taking your time ♡

Gifts - kiryu x reader

m.list | rules

Note: hi ! No problem !! It's my fault for not sticking to my usual set list. Don't hesitate to mention if you want a character in particular ♡ I'll do other of i feel like it but I want to make it with your fav. I'm happy you liked it ♡

The second you mentioned it, the idea bloomed into his mind. He knows how to be with you so when you mentioned that you were going to try a new recipe : he knew it was his time.

You always want to know what he thinks about it, and so all the boys around him by extension. But this time he told you that hell passed by to try them, which isn't usual but not a surprise either. So you didn't mind.

Your mom opened the door for you when you heard the bell ring, since you were still busy, before leaving you two alone in the kitchen. You couldn't wait for him to taste it. You were sure that it would be perfect this time.

"Hey !" His voice behind you made you jump a little even if you were waiting for it, but in a good way.

You turned around with a big smile before it fell into a puzzle expression. Then you covered your mouth as you gasped, not fully realizing what was happening.

Kiryu was standing in front of you, a lazy yet satisfied smile on his lips as he handed you a small bouquet of fresh flowers. It didn't take him long to notice the tears in your eyes and before you could even say anything, he was holding you close.

"Don't cry even if it's from happiness, it's only normal for me to do that." He reassured, before you could even argue and shut you down for sure with a kiss.

"Just accept it. And let me try that new recipe, it's already my favorite cake." 

Let me know if you liked it !

Reblog are appreciated ♡

Just got to the point in Twig where Jessie cones out to Sy and it's one of the best scenes WB has written tbh. I also like how wyvern makes it so Sy has no problem readjusting and accepting Jessie's new pronouns.

shanksmarco is so criminally underrated these dudes have known each other for a minimum of 30 years (potentially up to 38) and there's so much history contained in them just by dint of having sailed with roger and whitebeard, and unlike some of the other prominent shanks ships, they actually um, seem to like and respect each other

i'm pretty sure shanks has had more interactions with marco than he has basically any other character, they're constantly in and out of each other's orbits, doing each other favors, they're relatively close in age, have a decent overlap in their social/friend circles and shanks has invited marco to join the RHP two out of the three times they've met.

shanks spent at least two weeks with the WB pirates after marineford, escorted them back to the new world... when he came around after wano marco (a guy who doesn't seem to accept favors easily) just decided that shanks would be the perfect chauffeur to get him back home ???? i'm still waiting to find out what the HELL is going on with those two, but what we DO know is that shanks is simping for marco 24/7 and there's probably a good reason. for that. and marco, who is so polite and kind to everyone else, is friendly enough with beck for both of them to gang up on and tease shanks???

every one of their interactions screams that they've known each other for a long ass time and there's such a level of comfort and familiarity between them that at the very least you'd expect to see more about them in the fandom even in a completely platonic sense and yet!!!
