Skirt War
Requested by anonymous: Could I req a fic with the stray kids' ninth member being put in a short dress/skirt (you know those that don't look like it'll ride up if you move but it does and its annoying af??) for a performance with a dance dance - that she has to move around a lot and then she keeps trying to pull the skirt down but that piece of shit just keeps going back up. And she spends the whole performance playing tug of war with a bunch of fabric trying not to be indecent and humiliated. And backstage she feels shit bc she couldnât dance well and looked pathetic and she's disappointed and frustrated and embarrassed and yk. Idk if this is understandable anymore
âWow, Felix,â you say, âyou look really good! The stylists worked really hard with this new set of outfits.â
Felix hums his agreement, adjusting his gloves. âWhereâs yours?â
You glance down at yourself. Youâre still in your normal clothes. âAh, they havenât called me back yet. I think theyâre finishing with Seungmin now.â
Felix makes a small sound of understanding, reaching up to touch his hair. He stops himself and drags his hand back down to his side. âShould I dye my hair soon?â
You shrug. âDo you want to? Is your hair even alive at this point?â
You hear someone softly call your name, and turn before you head Felixâs response. A staff member is waving you over as Seungmin and Jisung walk by.
âLooking good,â you compliment them, smiling brightly. Youâre excited for what youâll be wearing for the performance.
So youâre handed the set of clothes that you change into. You donât even get a chance to look at yourself in a mirror before youâre whisked away for makeup and hair.
You eventually step out, joining the others. It seems as if everyone else has finished with their own styling, and everyone looks great.
Thereâs one tiny little problem, though.
Your tiny little skirt.
Your shirt is amazing, and you canât disagree with the fact that you look hot in it. But the skirt is as small as they get. Youâre amazed that youâre even allowed to wear it.
Youâre fairly certain itâll stay in place during thr performance, but you really donât want to take chances. So you do an experimental twirl, heart sinking when the skirt instantly flies up.
Hyunjin recoils when he sees you. âWhat the-â
âWatch it!â Chan warns, narrowing his eyes. He faces you, eyes widening. âOh. Oh boy.â
You tug the material down, fiddling with it anxiously. âIs it that bad?â
Jeongin is averting his eyes, which does absolutely nothing to make you feel better. âNope. Itâs totally fine.â
âDid they ask you about this?â Minho frowns deeply, glancing out at the crowd between the curtains. The sound check is almost complete, so youâre running out of time to deal with this.
âNo. I wasnât aware that Iâd be wearing this.â Your hands tremble. You feel sick with how short it is. You half believe youâre at risk of your most intimate areas just being on display.
Seungmin grunts a little. âWant my sweater? To tie around your waist?â
You consider it for a moment before shaking your head. âMaybe later. I donât want it to look like Iâm disrespecting the stylists.â
âBut itâs fine!â Jisung assures you. âThese arenât our usual stylists, and they donât know our boundaries.â
âBut we also donât want to start something with this event,â you point out. They stylists had come with the gig, and you didnât want to disrespect them if you didnât usually work with them. It might ruin any other opportunities.
âPositions, everyone,â Chan suddenly says. He gives you a pitying look as everyone files into their assigned places. âYouâve got this.â
Youâre not as confident as he is, but you force a smile. You tug the skirt down one last time before bounding out onto stage.
The music starts up and you begin to dance. Every movement that involves legs (pretty much all of them) has the skirt flipping up. Felix is behind you for the beginning, and when you catch a glance of his face itâs bright red.
You miss a hand gesture because youâre adjusting the fabric again, and your stomach tumbles. The media is going to have a field day with this. Everyone is going to be talking about how unprofessional you are.
Positions are swapped, and then youâre next to Changbin. He turns his gaze away to be respectful, but it just reinforces the idea in your head that the outfit is bad. That youâre indecent.
You blink back tears as you stumble over yet another move, too busy holding the skirt down to make it to the next spot in time. Youâre falling behind, mind focused on your decency and not the dance.
Then your lines come, and your voice cracks. Youâre lucky enough that you donât have to hold your microphone up, because you honestly donât have a spare hand.
It comes to an end, and you all bow. You walk off stage, perhaps the most humiliated that youâve ever been.
Changbin loops his arms around you, tying his sweater around your waist. You mutter your thanks and wrench your headset off.Â
âHey.â Chan gently grabs your arm and steers you back to the group. âLetâs talk about it.â
âI donât wanna talk about it.â You keep your head ducked, gaze locked on the floor. Your throat burns and youâre struggling not to cry.
Jeongin comes up behind you and rests his chin on your shoulder. âI think you did great.â
You shove him away. âWell I didnât! I sucked because of this stupid skirt! I let it get in my head, and now everyoneâs going to be talking about it!â
Minho sits on the ground and takes your hands in his. He gently pulls you down to his lap and lets your cry against his chest. âYeah, it wasnât your greatest performance.â
âHow is that supposed to help?â Jisung hisses out.
âBut Stay loves you no matter what. And if they donât, they can go suck it.â Minho strokes your hair.Â
Chan clears his throat. âI might not have said it in those exact words, but heâs right. And from now on, Iâll make it clear to our managers and staff about our boundaries. Including those that we work with for the first time.â
You hiccup between tears, burying your face further against Minho. âReally?â
Chan hums. âAbsolutely. And we have time to change before our next song, so why donât you go to the stylists again?â
You sniffle and push yourself out of Minhoâs grip. Seungmin gives you a reassuring smile as you wander off.
âExcuse me?â you hesitantly say as you approach one of the stylists. âWould it be okay if I got a different skirt? Or maybe some pants?â
He tilts his head, nose wrinkling. âWhy? Is there a problem with it?â
âUh, itâs just that-â You toy with the material as you try and find the correct words. You donât want to insult the man. âDancing in this is very difficult. I donât feel comfortable in this.â
He smiles mockingly. âOh, really? Well itâs fine. Itâs not even that short.â
âI just danced in it and it didnât go that well.â Youâre aware that youâre running out of time. You need to hurry up. âCan you please just direct me to-â
âHave you considered that maybe itâs just your skill?â he interrupts. He sighs and shakes his head, turning away. âBut fine. I could find something else.â
You swallow thickly as you follow him.
Is it actually your own fault? Are you just not a talented enough dancer for these clothes?Â
âIs this good enough for you?â The stylist holds up a new set of bottoms, and you wince. Itâs even smaller than the one youâre currently wearing.
âReady yet?â Jisung comes sliding in, eyes widening at the skirt being held up. âWow, thatâs small.â
âUh, almost,â you weakly tell him.
Jisungâs eyes catch on your face and trembling bottom lip. His arms shoot out to wrap around you, and he pats your back. âItâs okay!â
âAre you wearing this or not?â the stylist snaps.Â
âNo, sheâs not.â Jisung tightens Changbinâs sweater on your waist. âSheâs wearing this and we have to go now, since weâre on in less than a minute. But Iâll be telling Bang Chan about you.â
The man pales. Having an idol complain about you was pretty much a death sentence, especially when that idol had as much influence as Stray Kids.
Jisung grabs your hand you the two of you dash out onto stage. You burst out and join the rest of the members, just in time for the music to begin.
This time it goes smoother. The sweater gives enough weight to keep the skirt down, and youâre able to focus on the dance. Your movements are fluid and well-executed, and you know even Hyunjin would be proud.
When you go backstage, you feel mildly more confident. You take a swig of your water bottle as Jisung tells Chan about the stylist.
Jeongin huffs, overhearing the conversation. âWhat an asshole.â
Seungmin hums his agreement. âA real dick.â
Chan holds up his hands. âLetâs watch the language, everyone. Weâre professionals at work.â
Changbin snorts. âRight. If heâs a professional, why did he basically humiliate her?â
Felix hooks an arm over your shoulder. âItâs okay, I bet Minho will screw up soon and everyone will forget about today.â
Minho makes a sound of protest, narrowing his eyes. âWhy me?â
Hyunjin wipes the sweat off his forehead. âRelax, itâs just an example.â
Chan calls the stylist over, who appears vaguely nauseated as he steps closer. He bows briefly to Chan before his eyes flick to you for a fraction of a second.
âI heard you had a bit of an issue with one of my members?â Chan blandly asks. You donât think youâve ever seen him this angry. âWere you the one who put her in that skirt? Were you planning for her to humiliate herself and get kicked out of the industry?â
âYeah!â Jisung cries out. Heâs immediately silenced by Minho.
âS-Sorry,â the man mutters. âI just- Iâm sorry.â
âNo, no, continue.â Chan arches an eyebrow challengingly. âYou just what?â
âBet he just wanted to see her in it,â Seungmin drawls. âIs that it?���
A bead of sweat rolls down the stylistâs forehead. âWell- It wasnât that short!â
âWould you feel comfortable wearing it?â Felix chimes in. âBecause I thought it was pretty short.â
âGuys,â you say. âLetâs just go home. Iâm tired. Itâs been a long day.â
âPoor thing.â Hyunjin pats your head. âWanna eat a whole bunch of ice cream with me?â
âMaybe,â you slyly say, walking with him to the van. You ignore the sounds of Chan still scolding the man.Â
âIf you ever need my sweater again, just ask.â Changbin comes up from behind you to poke at the fabric of the borrowed clothes.Â
âAre we just stealing these?â Jeongin questions once everyone is in the van. Everyone is also still in the performance clothing.Â
Chan frowns. âOops.â

DREAMS lando norris pt.2 When your childhood bestfriend Flo had convinced you to get the fashion design job at her brother's company Quadrant, it finally paid off when Louis Vuitton was announced as the new sponsor for F1.
pt.1 wordcount: 1248
The Louis Vuitton event was everything it was supposed to beâelegant, high-profile, filled with models, designers, and A-list athletes. You had been to fashion events before, but this was different. The merging of fashion and motorsport brought a unique energy, an almost surreal overlap of two worlds you hadnât expected to be a part of at the same time.
You kept yourself busy, moving between conversations with your colleagues at Louis Vuitton, small talk, strategic networking, and answering questions about the collection. Lando had been doing his own thingâflashing smiles for the cameras, entertaining sponsors, talking to reporters, and a rotation of beautiful women.
You didnât interact much throughout the night. Still, you were aware of him, it was impossible not to be in the suit you styled him in. You knew you had done a good job.
Until you heard your name.
The interviewer was smiling, microphone angled toward Lando as cameras recorded.Â
"Yeah, the partnership with Louis Vuitton is great. But not only that, this outfit is styled by my sisterâs best friend, which makes it extra special," Lando said smoothly, the perfect PR-trained answer. "Means a lot to me to be working togetherâfirst at Quadrant and now here at Louis Vuitton."
You stilled.
It wasnât just what he saidâit was how he said it. Like it was some full-circle, sentimental thing. Like he had ever said something like that to you before. As if you had actually personally worked together at Quadrant. It annoyed you, making your professional work sound like something personal and intimate, reserved for him, as if you hadnât styled some of the other drivers with the same attention.
You turned away, ignoring the weird mix of irritation and something heavier sitting in your chest. You werenât going to let it get to you.
And you hadnât planned on saying anything.
But when the event was wrapping up and you were back at the hotel, by some cruel twist of fate, you ended up in the elevator together. Just the two of you, the hum of the lift filling the silence as the doors slid shut.
Lando leaned back against the mirrored wall, hands in his pockets, looking unbothered as ever. You had to say something.Â
"What was that all about?" you asked, breaking the silence.
He glanced at you, feigning innocence. "What are you talking about?"
You gave him a look. "That perfect little PR answer."
He smirked slightly. "Thought youâd appreciate the shoutout."
You folded your arms, unimpressed. "Youâve never said anything like that to me before."
"Didnât know you wanted me to, the media has given you enough attention." he shot back, tilting his head.
You huffed a laugh, shaking your head. "Right, cause thatâs all I care about."
Lando turned, arms folding over his chest. "Whatâs the problem? It was a nice answer."
"Thatâs not the point."
"Then what is?"
You didnât have an immediate response, which only made his smirk widen.
The elevator doors slid open, and before you could walk out, his voice stopped you.
"Anyway," he drawled, walking towards the door. "Thanks for the nice outfit, it was great, shouldâve asked you to style me sooner.ââ he stretched his arms above his head, yawning. ââCanât wait to take it off though. Looking good is exhausting, sweet dreams stylist"Â
You rolled your eyes without a response, walking to your room annoyed that it had gotten to you.
-
The second night of the Louis Vuitton x F1 launch was in full swing, luxury and motorsport merging under glittering lights. You kept to your side of the event, mingling with the LV team and ensuring the drivers looked sharp.
You barely interacted with Lando after yesterday, just the occasional glance across the room to admire the suit you had picked out for him tonight.
Then, as if sensing your thoughts, your phone buzzed.
Lando: Where are you?
You frowned, typing back.
You: At the event, obviously.
Lando: Need you. Now.
Your heartbeat kicked up. You glanced around, trying to spot him, but he wasnât in sight.
You: What? Why?
No response.
Then another buzz.
Lando: Toilets. Back hallway. Please.
Your stomach twisted. Without thinking too much, you slipped away from the crowd, making your way toward the hallway. You pushed open the door to the private restroom area, and there he wasâleaning against the sink, looking both frustrated and amused.
âWhatâs wrong?â you asked, shutting the door behind you.
Lando exhaled sharply, tugging at the waistband of his pants. âZipper broke.â
You stared at him. âAre you serious?â
âNo, Iâm making it up for fun,â he deadpanned. âYes, Iâm serious.â
Your eyes narrowed, stepping closer. âA Louis Vuitton zipper doesnât just break.â
Lando hesitated. Just for a second.
It was quick, but you caught it. And suddenly, the situation felt⌠off.
You crossed your arms. âWhat exactly were you doing before this broke?â
Landoâs expression didnât change, but you knew him well enough to catch the shiftâthe slight smirk, the too-casual way he leaned back.
âAre you implying something?â he asked, voice teasing.
You raised a brow. âI donât know. Am I?â
His grin widened, but he didnât answer.
Your stomach twisted, an irrational frustration bubbling up. Why did you care? It wasnât your business whatâor whoâhe was doing before this event. But the thought of him slipping away with someone, being careless enough to mess up his suit right before stepping out onto the carpet, annoyed you more than it should have.
âForget it,â you muttered, stepping closer. âJustâhold still.â
Landoâs smirk lingered, but he obeyed, shifting just enough to give you better access.
You knelt down, fingers adjusting the fabric quickly. The problem itself wasnât as bad as he made it soundâit was a minor snag, nothing you couldnât handle. But the proximity was dangerous. Your fingers moved with careful precision, but it was impossible not to graze the warm skin beneath the waistband. You could feel the way Lando barely shifted, his breath steady but controlled, like he was making an effort not to react.
âNot bad at this, are you?â Lando murmured, voice lower than before.
You didnât respond. You just focused, ignoring the way his muscles tensed when your fingers brushed against him.
Finally, with one last tug, you straightened. âThere. Fixed.âÂ
Lando glanced down, then back up at you. Neither of you moved.
The air shifted.
And then, before you could think too hard about it, he leaned in.
His lips met yours, firm and insistent. It was messy, rushed, like neither of you had planned for this but couldnât stop it either. You barely had time to react before you were kissing him back. His hand slid to the small of your back, pressing you into him like he was afraid youâd slip away if he didnât hold on.
Then, as suddenly as it started, you pulled back.
Breathless.
Lando exhaled, eyes flickering over your face, searching. âWell,â he murmured. âThatâs one way to handle a wardrobe malfunction.â
You stared at him, your own breath unsteady.
What the hell just happened?
WN: Hope you guys like it! Let me know!

nsfw alphabet -> nr6
masterlist
nsfw alphabet (a-z) / 18+
nico rosberg x fem!reader
an: this one was a requested a while ago, I never pass up a chance to write for my favorite diva.
A= Aftercare (what theyâre like after the act)
Nico is someone who values intimacy a lot and he takes aftercare absolutely seriously, he's doing the full experience every time. Bringing you water, snacks, drawing you a bath or taking a shower together and ending up wrapped in blankets with your favorite show playing.
B= Body part (favorite body part their own or their lovers)
His favorite body part of yours are absolutely your thighs, no matter the size he adores them. Will be touching, gripping or stroking at any opportunity, even during public dinners.
C= Cum (anything that has to do with it)
Like I said, he values intimacy a lot so he absolutely goes feral for coming in you. It's the best for him, no need to pull out and it makes him feel even closer to you so it's his go to. If you ask him to cum on any part of your body, boobs, face, ass, back, you name it he'll do it but if you leave it up to him, it's going inside.
D= Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory)
He knows you'd never let him live it down so he doesn't mention it but he has a very secret very special sex playlist of Britney Spears songs which he'd love to play while fucking you.
E= Experience (do they know what theyâre doing)
He has enough experience to know what he's doing and is down for learning about every little thing that feels good for you. Hasn't been around plenty but he's a good learner.
F= Favorite position
He mostly prefers positions where he can look at your face because he loves the look on your face when you're close to orgasm. Also likes doggy in front of a mirror.
G= Goofy (how serious are they)
He can go either way depending on the mood. Sometimes it's all very lighthearted and you're both giggling other times it's full on deep in the moment and passionate.
H= Hair (grooming habits)
For himself, he keeps it neatly trimmed because he finds that's what works best for him - for you, he's fine with whatever you're the most comfortable with.
I= Intimacy (in the moment romantic or rough/dirty)
Most of the time he's really romantic and into it, gazing into your eyes and everything. But he can absolutely go filthy and rough if he's has a bad day or something (Lewis) annoyed him much.
J= Jack off (do they masturbate and how often)
Does it occasionally, especially if he's really pent up but doesn't like doing it alone. If he's away and you couldn't come he's video call you so you can both get off together.
K= Kink (kinks what they like possibly unusual)
He likes mirror sex, and is a fan of foreplay. Otherwise he isn't really specific about his kinks and is open to trying pretty much anything at least once.
L= Location (where they like to get it on)
He prefers the bedroom but as long as it's a closed space with walls and not too public, he's down to go.
M= Motivation (what gets them going)
He doesn't need a lot to be able to go really, and anything you do that's even remotely suggestive had him ready and needy.
N= No (something they won't do)
Anything that actually hurts you in a definite no. Some roughness is okay to a certain extent but when it feels more like pain and less like pleasure it's an absolute no go for him.
O= Oral (receiving or giving and how skillful they are)
Lives for giving you head, and has worked hard to perfect his technique, finding all your sensitive spots and trying to see how fast he can make you fall apart. Really does it for his own enjoyment, seeing as he gets completely lost in it. Would be happy to drown in your pussy.
P= Pace (do they prefer it slow or fast)
Somewhere in the middle. He's not exactly going slow but neither is he going that fast. Will listen to what you tell him you want in the moment, increasing the rhythm of his thrusts as soon as you moan out a "Nico, please faster, baby please!"
Q= Quickie (do they prefer quickies or taking their time)
He prefers to take his time and make you fall apart multiple times, first on his fingers and tongue and then on his cock. But he can absolutely go for quickies as long as it's somewhere private.
R= Risk (do they like to try new things)
He's down for experiment and trying new things with you. He's happy to try anything you bring up, and if you like it great, if you don't at least you tried.
S= Stamina (how many times they can go)
It depends on how exhausting the day was but he can usually go multiple rounds with little to no breaks in between.
T= Toys (are they game for using sex toys on themselves or lovers)
He's okay with toys, it wasn't something he thought about it at first but after you tried it once he discovered his love for them and all the ways he can use them on you.
U= Unfair (how do they tease or do they enjoy suspense themselves)
Mostly he does it unintentionally at first, but once he notices there's a glint in his eyes and a smirk on his lips, will tease you for as long as possible.
V= Volume (are they loud, what sounds, and do they talk)
He moans and grunts, sometimes if you're teasing him he'll whine. Overall he makes really pretty sounds. Also very good at dirty talk but his voice will sometimes crack as a moan slips past.
W= Wild card (random headcannon of any sort)
During the big Brocedes fall out era he has fucked you rough, purposefully trying to make you be loud, all against the wall separating his driver's room from Lewis's.
X= X-ray (whatâs down below in those pants)
He's a bit above average for length and around average girth, also has a pretty pink tip, always sensitive and leaking.
Y= Yearning (sex drive)
He's not fully sex crazed but is quiet needy. Ideally 3-4 times a week.
Z= Zzzz (do they sleep after if so how quickly after)
Nico will wait for you to fall asleep first, holding you close, his hands stroking your skin, the movement slowing down and coming to a stop once he can no longer fight off sleep, his face buried in the crook of your neck.

itâs been years since my last true fixation on a musical but I regret to inform you all that I just watched the 2014 Swedish Jesus Christ superstar and I feel I will never be the same again.
#i think the set design and lighting are actually what impress me most#i know this version gets hype because itâs so explicitly homoerotic#but every other little detail is so well thought out#jcs is already a very postmodern piece of art but i feel like this production really nailed it on the head#jesus is so incredibly amoral. you genuinely have no idea what he really believes#or who he loves. was it he who betrayed judas first?#and the doom of the narrative you cannot change#in the post apocalyptic setting#damn was i screaming with Judas#why would you make me the criminal!!!#and the set just reinforces all those themes#also props to the wig?? team???#that wig on Jesus gets hella bloody so they either had a shit ton of wigs#which is annoying and a lot of work to make look good#or they knew how to clean the wig each night#also Judas looks like geralt from the Witcher#and heâs hot. what can I say.

Linktober Day 8. Tunic
#linktober#linktober 2024#the legend of zelda#wind waker#ocarina of time#loz#loz ww#loz oot#link#josh art tag#had a lot of fun with this one despite how annoying it was to draw#oot link was at a difficult angle and i also just could not shade this for the life of me. restarted the shading like 3 times#i think im reaching that point in the cycle i typically go thru with my artstylr where ive grown tired of my shading style#to the point that i forget how to do it and it never quite looks right#so if my next post features changes to my artstyle thats why lol#but i enjoyed making this despite that cuz i like the ideas behind it!#i normally wouldve redesigned ww!link's outfit but i purposefully drew it accurately#to highlight how its more like a costume. cuz thats kinda what it was! and its modeled after the hero of times clothes#but is pretty innacurate. which i think is cool.. shows how much time has passed and how the view of the hero of time has warped#so i also purposefully made oot link wearing my redesigned outfit for him (even if you cant see much of it at this angle)#to further emphasize how ww!link's outfit is not only essentially a costume but is also quite innacurate#i like having ww!link ditch the costume for something else to show how he stops being some kid in oot!link's shadow#and grows into a true hero of his own#hence my ww!link redesign where i put him back in the lobster shirt. but i do keep some green and something similar to the hat#to have him fit in with the other links while still being unique#look i have a lot of feelings about ww!link and oot!link#i wish zelda would do more stuff like this... i think having oot relate to wind waker makes the story more interesting#and makes ww!link more interesting! cuz he cant be the hero of time they want. but he does become the real hero they need#the oot ww tp trio is so good... and they all work great as standalone games but their connections do really add something

To also go off of the point about cop!akihiko being annoying to me I gotta say that Akihiko as a character is very hit or miss with me because of how different adaptations of p3 will subtly alter his character. I felt like in portable with the femc route he comes off best, heâs a bit of a hothead with an obsession with fighting, but heâs overcompensating his strength so he doesnât feel as weak and helpless as heâs been in many situations. He defines strength in a very literal sense, being physically strong and using that to protect others, but heâs lacking in emotional strength as a result. And in particular in this version I think heâs portrayed as a bit more goofy and sweet in a sense. He cares deeply for you as a friend and leader but he struggles with finding the words to describe how he feels. Hes kinda naive and gullible and has trouble noticing his surroundings. He has no clue what heâs doing but his heart is in the right place. I think he just comes off much more human and he has flaws, many many flaws, and that makes him all the more lovable
But then in other adaptations and spinoffs itâs like. They look at him through some hetero male bullshit filter and seem to view him as a lot more admirable and cool. Like in p3 dancing, theres literally an event where heâs talking with Junpei and Minato and theyâre gushing about how perfect Akihiko is and how he doesnât seem to have ANY flaws at all. And it becomes clear his inability to flirt with women just gets added as a way to make sure you, the Straight Male Player, donât get insecure being next to such Perfection because at the end of the day, youâre still more charming and sexy than he will ever be because youâre better. Itâs a âflawâ thatâs only there to shield a sensitive male ego. And then in arena I mean, come on. Heâs overly beefy and is a damn cop and travels the world and loves Proteinâ˘ď¸ itâs his whole personality and heâs so clearly meant to be seen as hot but like, heâs just some shitty hetero male fantasy. Hes what the writers deem to be a Perfect Man that every guy wishes he could be, but donât worry heâs still bad with women so you donât gotta worry about him stealing your property- I mean, girlfriend!
And though Iâve not played reload and donât really plan to anytime soon, judging from his social episodes they seem to have a similar problem. Akihiko comes off as a lot less approachable, like the year age gap is just too much of a barrier to get to know him properly. And he doesnât have that dorky sweetness he has in portable, heâs just that perfect hetero male fantasy guy and donât you fucking worry- he still has his protein powder with him
#persona#persona 3#akihiko sanada#does this make sense like i feel like im going crazy cuz okay#akihiko isnt in my top 3 characters (shinji ken and fuuka lol) but hes teetering on the edge hes number 4!#i really loved him in portable i worked my ass off to get his social link i had him on my team the entire game#i found him really cute and endearing and hilarious but then like i played dancing#and er well i never got all his events cuz im bad at that game but i noticed that subtle difference#and then watching reload clips i felt it again i was like good god i hate this guy i wanna beat him up#which is so weird since hes one of my favorite characters so like what the hell is that#but i really think it is just this filter hes being presented with like when hes supposed to be a love interest#hes allowed to be more flawed and adorably pathetic and sensitive#like hes the one who wants to do the protecting but you end up protecting him you know?#so yeah this is what i mean when i say that if any straight person looks at akihiko sanada i will melt them with lasers#my mitsuru rant is a lot longer but its very similar just that ughh disgusting filter shes presented through I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH#i think having kotone as the protagonist fixes most problems so i consider that the solution lol but i think Aki not getting a real social#link is a major disservice and creates that super annoying upperclassman divide that makes him unapproachable and idolized

I've been trying to figure out a dynamic between neve and rye that I find more compelling, because right now there's not much of anything there for me to sink my little teeth into. but I think I've landed on something delicious with the idea that especially after minrathous gets fucked, rye looks at neve and sees myrna -- someone he feels he keeps letting down horribly no matter how hard he tries not to and can't quite achieve the approval of/connection with that he wishes so it's better to just pull away completely and disengage rather than stay in that unshifting shame. neve is (very understandably) measured and distant with him after what happened, and he's flashing back to his student days of myrna gazing at the perpetually hungover heartbroken heap of a person of him on the other side of her desk every time he missed the deadline of a paper or project like '...can we at least both agree that this is. a bit disappointing. especially considering your potential.' (and him all smudged black eyeshadow and numb ruefulness being like 'sure that's a very kind way to put it myrna thank you'.)
aside from the 'if I let him get too deeply into this he'll go the way of brom and it'll be all my fault (again)' element, neve thinks rye is dismissing her and her city/being a bit callous in the same way he was after varric's death (listen. how fucking wild must rook's reaction to losing a beloved mentor seem to the rest of the crew who aren't seeing the blood magic paper doll ghost varric the whole time, especially those who got to see them interact. you WOULD think 'there's something wrong with this guy. putting the job first is one thing just not seeming to react at all is another this is fucking freaky', wouldn't you, especially after seeing the warmth in that dynamic in action beforehand.) perfect storm of two people who grit their teeth and turn inwards in pain deciding that not talking about it is their best bet (NEWSFLASH: IT ISN'T) lmao
(rye spent his last year of watcher training on a mostly joyless bender and then got it together enough to finish the eternal orb project last moment in a fevered near-sleepless week instead of the half a year that was intended. emmrich is both astounded and distressed to hear this. "a week? but -- but that is an astounding accomplishment rook!! and also why in the maker's good light would you ever do that to yourself?" ("well you see there was no one to stop me from doing it like that but me. and under those conditions these things tend to happen".) rye was working through/looking up stuff around transitioning and doing every kind of OTHER high level watcher research through that whole time, but ultimately he's an excellent watcher and a terrible student, at least under traditional methods. adhd from here to the fucking moon. touched by something akin to divine inspiration in moments of high tension that pulls all the threads into one coherent unbreakable cord, a bit of a frayed mess in most other settings. in our world he'd be dropping out of a masters program at the very last hurdle in this moment maker bless and protect him)
#myrna is actually really proud of him for pushing through and becoming a very fine member of the mourn watch#(and a good man)#but she is also. well. myrna. so she has never expressed as much to him. (she thought it went without saying. it did not!)#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#neve gallus#considering how satisfying the Arc with davrin has been I hope this can liven up neve and rye's interactions for me!#also very interesting and fitting b/c davrin will come for you where you live and go 'and hey btw ANOTHER THING --' no bullshit#which rye finds SO annoying but is probably why their relationship has grown so deep so quickly b/c davrin won't let him avoid him#while neve is ironically a lot more like him and it means they have a much harder time reaching each other b/c they're both so watchful#and guarded. they vibed so hard in the beginning it was all neve approves all the times b/c they have similar instincts. and now look at us#we live in the same house and politely pretend the other one doesn't exist. we're making ghosts out of each other!!!#explaining why he's semi-avoiding her. he thinks he's being thoughtful in giving her her space but uh. well.#perhaps more flight behaviour in that than he's willing to gaze at directly haha#rye looks at lucanis claiming he's a mess and goes 'oh buddy you should've seen me the first day in a year I was fully sober#and working on that fucking orb with head pounding and eyeliner running. even like this you're one of the tidiest#and most disciplined people I've ever met. you're literally fine.'#the reason the romance is so slow is not even mostly on lucanis I think rye is the slower to truly open up one in that dynamic lol#hey. I love rook. I love him so much. my trying his best underachieving babyboy who killed god when he got it together#I suspect this is going to be a situation where I've planned multiple other playthroughs#that will inevitably be hampered by '...but where is rye tho. I wish rye was here. does anyone else miss rye' lmao#for reference I've finished DA:O at least 4 times. and all four of them was sophia amell doing exactly the same things. I have a Pattern lo#a pattern I have only really broken in da:i where I have three inquisitors I care about sort of equally (adaar is my fave#but I have fondness for them all)#hawke I basically play as always the same person just AUs of him haha. what if he was a mage instead and it was somehow even sadder#that sort of thing

Guys. I did not know before now that writing could be painfully millennial in a full prose book but the pho*nix ke*per has proven me wrong and I have to complain about it in the tags
#k talks#weird astrix is because I don't want this showing up in the tag just in case#but I NEED To complain about this book real quick. I love a magical zoo that part was fun but good lord the main character....#I get what the author was trying to do with her arc and I will say the second half of the book is better than the first but Jesus christ#I hated the main character at the start she is SO annoying. not to be mean I know the whole point is her overcoming her anxiety#but like. I swear to God every two pages was just oooh I'm so awkward I'm such an introvert I'm such an awkward scrawny turtle!!!!#like CONSTANT. even worse though she's mean about it. for like half the book she's just so incredibly judgy at her public outreach job#she literally works at a zoo and has to learn hmmm... zoos need money??? zoos are also about... educating the public??? WHATT????#also it just felt so weird because she is constantly talking about how pale and skinny and pasty and scrawny and white she is#like constantly. and her best friend is a black trans woman who CONSTANTLY coddles and supports the mc in a very maternal way#and her love interest is latina-coded I'm pretty sure and is much more confident and opinionated and is literally described as fiery once#so like. hm! Okay! interesting! Interesting stereotypes going on tbh!!!#the mc learns some lessons and gets slightly less insufferable but like. also it was SO predictable I always knew what was gonna happen nex#and the writing style... like I said above it is MILLENNIAL and not in a fun way. the word boop is used several times. the humor is awful#the main character has multiple conversations about being so uwu bottom even though there's no sex in this book??? why??#and every single character description is repeated OVER and OVER with the same two details. SO much telling basically no showing#the writing was just so... quirky. ooooh look at me I'm awkward I trip over things I can't do make-up I love sitting on the couch!!!!#like. idk. obviously a lot of people really liked this book and I SHOULD have been one of them. Sapphic romance at a magic zoo....#but the execution was just so incredibly not my thing it actively pissed me off even if I can see what the author was trying to achieve#maybe I just don't like cozy fantasy. man. there was a bit where a guy should've gotten eaten by a kelpie but didn't. so maybe too cozy#for my tastes actually. which is weird I feel like I should enjoy cozy fantasy! especially about animals!!! but maybe this was just a fluke#anyways. to be clear I am not trying to make fun of the MC for having anxiety. just the overall way her social awkwardness was WRITTEN abou#really bothered me. idk man I'm a neurotic freak as well but I try to be NICE about it. and I have the correct zoo opinions. so.

obsessed w the tags on ur last reblog
Omgg, thank you haha, it was a quality post so I just had to appreciate it in full force đâ¤ď¸
Canât believe someone would actually enjoy my yapping :,D
#guys help is it time for a rebranding?? am I just gonna post about f1 now??#I still canât believe this has all started because bestie and I were watching Ted Lasso (because Iâve been obsessed with that show for a#while now too) and I paused the episode to talk about how I really like the way Jamie interacts with kids (Iâm sorry people being good with#and nice to kids is one of my weaknesses I work with kids now and have been invested in treating kids well forever)#so me saying that apparently reminded her of max and she showed me a video of him with p and yeah it was very effective in making me like#him and then we left the episode on pause and she told me a lot about f1 and max specifically cause I was interested now lmao (funny thing#is that she also got roped into it by our other friends I swear itâs speeding lmao#she also compared him to Jamie from Ted lasso (if you know you know) and showed me some heart wrenching Taylor swift edits (i havenât#emotionally recovered yet) and yeah thatâs how I started consuming way too much f1 content on YouTube and got into this whole mess lmao#oh yeah our friends also made me and another friend make a Tier list for all the drivers based on vibes alone (cause I only knew a bit about#max at that time and the other one knew nothing really) which was very funny too#especially looking back at it (we did some of them so dirty lmao đ)#Iâve also come to the conclusion that tumblr is still one of the least annoying platforms to engage with other people (still)#YouTube is full of hate comments about drivers and stuff itâs so annoying actually#not to mention Twitter but I donât go there and probably never will đ#I personally donât enjoy fics and scenarios and shipping of real people cause it makes me a bit uncomfy (not judging people who do#you do you as long as it doesnât negatively affect anyone#but yeah Iâd much rather just scroll by those here than have to look away from all the mindless hate and which driver is better discussions#everywhere else like Iâm not one to engage with stuff like that but it does upset me to some#degree so yeah tumblr making memes and being rather positive about their drivers (most of what Iâve seen here of course there are gonna be#annoying people everywhere) is much more tolerable and a lot more enjoyable for me#whoops this post got away from me again oh dear#Iâve had the idea for a meme stuck in my head for days now: Max verstappen but make it if you donât love me at my *swearing on team radio#giving spicy replies and attitude to the media maxplaining and complaining going for risky overtakes* you donât deserve me at my *precious#interactions with p talking about his cats being a goofball with other drivers and especially danny defending other drivers driving#beautifully in the rain* itâs a package deal you canât just pick and choose and personally I donât even get why people complain about some#of the other stuff I appreciate someone whoâs passionate and honest and genuinely kind where it matters đ¤ˇđťââď¸#I think Iâve seen someone else say that but the more people complain about and criticize max the more I feel the need to defend him#god forbid women have hobbies for real (canât believe Iâve yapped so much I canât put more tags đ)#also shoutout to Oscar Piastri and Danny Ric (I was so happy Oscar won even tho McLaren where being very silly in a not so funny way)

iâve been trying to get through hoh for literally like a week now but itâs so hard bc the way my fave nico is treated is absolutely ABYSMAL and i know it only gets worse
#personal#even hazel being like âyeah heâs hard to get along withâ or whatever she said#every single non-tartarus perspective has had at least one reference to this#and like i understand the reasons itâs not that itâs that it highlights this issue i have with a lot of the characters in that series which#is that i donât like them. and thatâs so different for me bc i actually usually find that my two favorite characters in anything are the tw#that donât like each other? unrelated to that dynamic usually mostly but still within it#but thatâs not even what the dynamic is yk.#and itâs just the whole thing overall like in the last book there was one part where these two characters who are supposed to be good#friends are separated and one makes a comment about how annoying (or something along those lines) she finds the other which.#iâm vaguely aware of what happens in toa so i think you could argue something about that but read on its own bc i donât want to make that#argument without fully grasping where her character goes#it just kinda reinforces this⌠vibe to the whole series that was not nearly as present in the first series of like. really overemphasized#like gender roles/heterosexuality/etc. i canât think of the word to use to describe it. iâve seen other ppl talk about the parts that add u#to the whole that iâve seen but never synthesize them. and it really varies between actually insidious and simply not my taste which is par#of the reason i hesitate to make a full critique out of it. but suffice to say i really donât like it#with that being said the pacing of this book is really good and i am compelled to finish based on the themes i do find interesting#autonomy being a huge one#but anyway those are my thoughts on it after a few days of a break. iâve been playing a video game instead :3 but i start work on wednesday#sooo i wonât have as much free time boo#looking back maybe âinsidiousâ is a very strong word for it. iâm talking about like when percy complains about the bag and similar moments

Wanna put your friend in a lil terrarium just to see what wacky things she does stg đ
i actually Cannot Stress the migraine she gives me every time we hang out. like without fail she'll always say or do something that ranges from mildly questionable or irritating but relatively Whatever to How Have You Survived This Long Without Burning Your House Down Boiling An Egg
#snap chats#and then there's her just forgetting things or being late despite the amount of times ill remind her#and i keep stressing to her i cannot stand it when people are late. and then she shows up to things an hour late anyway#or 'when shes late' by fifteen minutes because she didnt think to text me she's there. and im already stressed and annoyed I. UGH i swear.#LIKE. i have only really had two irl friends and both of them i lowkey had to parent in some way#at least my childhood bestie she's like. she's grown a lot and even if i havent spoken to her in a while im real proud of her right#THIS MOTHERFUCKER THO. OUUUUUGGGH.... youre not supposed to say anythin if you dont got nothin nice to say#which is contradictory to the main body text but point is let me Not be any more mean than how ive been already LMAO#even funnier about her looking at that comic is that LITERALLY masumi says he's talking to jo â ď¸â ď¸â ď¸â ď¸#did i already say i have to remind her who jo is every three seconds#like the entirety of chap 2 when ichi's out of jail she was all 'why doesnt he just say who ACTUALLY killed the guy'#and then when we finally run into the fuckass who 'actually killed the guy' she's just 'wait who's that'#then i tell her and shes like 'oh my god he's so old now' IT'S BEEN 18 YEARS DUMBASS#ngl did wanna make a comic based off that LMAO BUT POINT IS she tests my patience every day and i think its good practice#if im going to work with people in the future like ohh.. my god....#she told me once she's never been on a date and its like. yeah i wonder why you can't even be assed to show up on time to hangouts â ď¸#like ive never had friends so maybe im just insane.. im not insane for wanting people to be on time tho....#OK IM BEING TOO MEAN LET ME CAP IT THERE

Very nice and cool you are
SO I finally started dumping my stuff on my geocities.ws account that I made like a year ago but it turns out that this site SUCKS but at least it can send .txt files so here's a fossil fighters card game that I made WAY more cards for than I thought I would
#asks#fossil fighters#i actually didn't bother much with making vivosaurs#i just had a million ideas for the other card types#the vivosaurs were kinda just Work to design since i was taking a lot of their stuff directly from the games#so it was a lot of looking stuff up and adjusting the numbers to work better#and i STILL don't know if i made the damage numbers high enough because i've never used this kind of defense mechanic before#inspired by me thinking about the pokemon tcg and thinking âhey that's a really good system to focus on Monsters Battlingâ#and my thoughts drifted towards my Braithia card game for like 15 seconds before i wanted to make fossil fighters#also all the mechanics that don't involve cards are lifted directly from the game#the various Zones and such are copied straight from fossil fighters 1#the only changes i made were lowering the numbers and changing support effects to be flat numbers instead of multipliers#also changed elements from multipliers to flat numbers#multipliers: great for video games and annoying for physical games#also i wrote all the rules before coming up with the fossil deck idea which i'm still really proud of#and i was able to just kinda staple it on with no changes to the rest of the rules so that was nice#and then once i had fossil rocks as a mechanic i got started writing cards and i simply didn't stop#so many things to take from the games#like when i came up with the fossil deck one of the first ideas was taking the worthless normal rocks you dig up#and just chucking it at an enemy for damage#there's a lot of ways to spend fp so i felt kinda pressured to make everything low cost#which was a problem because of the Durable mechanic i put on the dark fossil rocks#like durable 3? there's literally only 3 cards in the main deck that cost 3 or more#and it made the Fragile mechanic pretty meaningless too#high costs would prevent you from attacking that turn so it was just pretty awkward#might just remove the durable and fragile mechanics if i come back to this#they were mainly just for flavor anyway#because wondrous/miraculous fossil rocks need to cost a lot but i want to represent how fragile they are#fuck i spelled it wonderous instead of wondrous. english is stupid

remember when mobile games were actual games and not just time killer giving you a satisfaction boost by making you go through a check list and watching numbers go up?
#i know there are still lots of good mobile games#i'm just getting annoyed at all the idle games and the multiplayer city/empire managements that don't ask you to think about anything#like at least clash of clans asked you to place ur buildings yourself and think about strategy a little bit#i've tried a few newer games in the style and you have less and less agency#your choices matter less and less#it's basically just becoming 'spend lots of time and money on the game and you'll be powerful in it'#i hate it#and clicker/idle games with gacha features#urgh#getting new stuff isn't even exciting they make pulling so easy and thus so common#as many problems as i have with genshin#at least it makes you work for it and people get rly excited and happy when they finally get the character they wanted#anyway#rant over. i'll go back to looking for good games. or working ig#which i should prolly be doing instead of that#what's mine? that's mine

#today has been a day. as in time did pass. the earth rotated. and i accomplished very little#bc im just feeling paralyzed and not so good. and i guess thats understandable#like i understand y its happening but its not any less frustrating. mostly its just knowing that i have to make life altering decisions in#the next few weeks. and the pressure of: if i dont decide to go for this one project then they dont get a student and they dont get funding#that makes me pretty nauseous. and knowing i have an interview Thursday that im not ready for and i dont really wanna do#and its a product of not talking to people like a human being. like i just dont interact with people much. when im in the lab i mostly#stand around looking unapproachable or go in when i kno there's no one there and i just dont have close friends so i dont really talk to or#text anyone. i just work and fail to get things done. so then when im in a situation where i have to talk to ppl its all anxious shrapnel#or me dominating the conversation bc i cant stand the pauses and i have so much obsessivly rotatinf in my head. and i hate it. im so sick#of hearinf my own voice but no one talk in the way i want them to. i get so bored. and i want to ask pressing and uncomfortable things but#i kno i shouldnt. but i also dont really have a filter so ill just say fucking whatever. which is what i did Saturday when a triggering#topic of conversation arose. so now my lab mate officially knows too much. but whatever wtf is he gonna do abt it. i just get so annoyed#bc now its in my head. thr fact it set me off and that i overshared and that now its in my head. annoying.#and it doesn't help with the writing things i need to finish. bc i dont like feeling like ive done something wrong and one of the reviewers#has good points. which also probably means ill have to redo my 8 days of measurements so far#but i also might b able to shorten the timeline so idk. just a lot is happening rn and i feel the pressure and by brain doesn't like#pressure. and not doing things rn is not good. things need to be done#so idk i dont feel good but it makes sense. by the end of February hopefully things will b figured out#and i should sleep and hope for a better tomorrow#unrelated

Oh god, I have to do admin shit that I was really hoping to avoid (because I thought I didn't really need it and also it leads to more admin shit down the line) (but turns out there's some new admin shit that I /shouldn't even have to do/ but the company wants me to do because it's easier for them, and this admin shit is a prerequisite for the admin shit required by the company)
Never moving to another country again, fuck this shit
#Ugh#The whole day has been very ugh today tbh#I don't wish to be a kid/teenager again but sometimes I sure wish I wasn't an adult#Like I did good yesterday! Did some coursework cooked food cleaned the floor applied for a job#Why do I also have to do stuff today#Why isn't work and making dinner enough chores for one day#I know it's absolutely minor annoyances but man they're still annoying#Herr's personal tag#Like I've always liked travelling and whatnot Nd wanted to live in different places and shit#Like it's not like I have a lot of friend at home either lol. Or hobbies. So might as well travel and see new places#Also it makes you sound less boring lol. Like it suggests that you have some kind of passion or life goals#If you've gone through the effort of moving countries several times#Which. I don't. But.#Anyway#My point was I'm really not feeling this place tho#Just. Really not. Made a countdown in my calendar so I can see how many weeks I have left and all#17#Which again is very doable. Almost halfway through or something#Soon anyway#I'm just. Looking forward to going back home for literally the first time in my life#Maybe this actually is what being an adult is like?
