One more and then Iā€™ll stop but like seriously imagine this hulking brute of a man preparing to mount his dragon to return home to his Kingdom after successfully pillaging another village. The loot strapped to the sides of the dragons as he stands victorious, covered head to toe in a sheen of drying blood that for the most part isnā€™t his.
And as heā€™s preparing to leave he notices something moving in the foliage out of the corner of his eye. Immediately reaching for his axe as he holds it up high, ready to strikeā€” when he sees a small bunny rabbit struggling beneath a wicker basket. The poor animal looks injured, its paw a deep crimson that rivals his eyes and his first thought is to put it out of its misery and take it home as part of the feast.
But then he thinks of you, and the way you tremble in front of him much like the little rabbit in front of him now. Sliding his axe back into his belt as he crouches down to pick up the struggling animal, caging it in large palms as he holds it uncharacteristicly gently to his chest. Walking back to his dragon as his men call out to him.
ā€œThatā€™s barely a snack for a dragon, King.ā€ Sero calls out, grinning from ear to ear as Bakugou shoots him a glare.
ā€œDo you want me to put it with the rest of the food?ā€ Kirishima offers as he reaches out to take the bunny by the ears.
ā€œNo,ā€ Bakugou mutters gruffly, opening a sachel at the side of his beast as he places the rabbit gently inside. His men raise their brows but know better than to say anything as they take off, returning back home before nightfall.
The Kingdom is in celebration as the team return, gathering the spoils as a feast is prepared for tonight. And Bakugou decides to clean himself up before seeking you out, worried that if he found you covered in the blood of his enemies youā€™d never talk to him again. It was much like he looked the first time he found you; and heā€™ll remember that terrified look for the rest of his days.
Changing into fresh cloth and furs as he makes his way towards your room, and even though heā€™s trying to be respectful he still doesnā€™t knock. Stepping inside to see you curled up by a fire with a book that you quickly put down when you notice him, the tension in your body doesnā€™t go unnoticed by Bakugou who tries to be less intimidating. A difficult feat for a man whoā€™s waged wars on nations, and spilt more blood than the rivers that flow outside the Kingdom.
Heā€™s silent as he crouches, setting his sachel down in front of him as he opens it. Rough hands reach in to take out the quivering bunny rabbit, which you stare at with wide eyes.
ā€œIt reminded me of you.ā€ He rasps, holding the animal out to you as you crawl over to him from your position in front of the fire. Gentle hands taking the rabbit from him as you hold him against your chest, soft fingers stroking at its fur.
ā€œYouā€™re not going to cook him after, are you?ā€
And Bakugou canā€™t help but smile at your question, itā€™s the first time youā€™ve seen him do so and it softens the strong frown lines against his face. His eyes rounder, fierce gaze less intense as he moves to sit on the floor beside you with thick thighs outstretched.
ā€œHe looked like he needed someone to look after him.ā€

how easy or hard is it to make the sinners finish? also are you fine with yandere stuff? I want to ask before requesting. Also if your requests arenā€™t open then feel free to ignore.
Oh my! I made a whole tier list with a friend^^ just need to pull it up. Over half the credit goes to the skinny dipping ask anon, haiii^^ also Iā€™m all good with yandere stuff. I just might have difficulty with certain characters (base ID for Greg to name one, that might not be very long if Iā€™m asked to write something about him; Iā€™ll still write about him, but thereā€™s not a lot to work with for the yandere theme in my eyes) but I will absolutely write it^^ also you will get bonus characters. Because itā€™s fun^^
TW: 18+, UNEDITED
Not finishing (sorry!):
Faust - sorry but I donā€™t think she ever came during sex. You can use toys or she can do the job herself and that works, but thatā€™s it honestly. Itā€™s not that youā€™re doing something wrong, sheā€™s still choosing to spend time with you in that way, but I just think she would finish from touching herself. After all Faust knows Faust the best
Takes a long while:
Ryoshu - itā€™s not hard to make her finish but if you rush it, she wonā€™t react well. Itā€™s a whole process, getting to that first orgazm. She likes playing around before it, holding it off until sheā€™s satisfied with the act. Like, she wonā€™t ignore you in favour of her pleasure, she wants the both of you to get the most out of this. Which means neither of you is finishing quick, sorry
Sonya - also not that easy. Heā€™s a chill guy, he doesnā€™t seem like he would mind. He likes you and it was a decent time either way, so itā€™s not a big issue if he didnā€™t come. I just feel like, despite his easygoing demeanour, if anything from the book carries over to the game, he miiight have a hard time letting himself be vulnerable during sexual encounters. Participates still, but itā€™s not a carefree ordeal and it makes orgasming harder. Can use his hand just fine though and doesnā€™t consider it a wasted night
Demian - kinda hard. Like, I just feel like it would be hard for him to reach a release, but heā€™d be damned if he still didnā€™t try. Heā€™s fairly confident and knows himself well, so he has no problem guiding you a little so both of you can orgasm. With his tips itā€™s not really hard. Side note, but I feel like the experience youā€™d get is worth it, come on, in the book heā€™s such an agent of chaos itā€™s iconic. Yeah heā€™s calm. But like, if I asked that man to tie my shoes he could as well run off with my shoelaces to prove some point he made earlier hhh
Last above average:
Verg - kinda hard? Like, itā€™s easier than with the ones above, but you will have to put some effort into pleasing him. Heā€™s guarded and keeps most at an armā€™s length so to have a genuine sexual encounter with you, he needs to trust and know you a bit. I donā€™t think he would be a 10/10 at communicating so you also wouldnā€™t have a lot to go off of. It changes with time, the communication part, but he still takes a bit to finish
Ishmael - she takes some time as well. I think sheā€™s pretty experienced and has had many amazing as well as mediocre encounters so given that range, donā€™t expect to just waltz into her room and make her scream your name upon your touch. Good thing is, she has a good idea about what works, just take her suggestions and youā€™ll get there (sheā€™ll do to ;3). Other component could be the fact that she often doesnā€™t feel comfortable letting her guard down and not being in control. So, especially if youā€™re more dominant, I could see some issues stemming from that early on, because as open as she would be to give things a try, if youā€™re a more dominant person, it could be difficult for her to work with. Not your fault, just give her some time. In bed and outside of it
Hong Lu - I canā€™t explain it much, I just think itā€™s not super easy as well. Again, you wonā€™t have him panting and moaning just from doing the bare minimum, but let our curious man explore, make it worth a while, and heā€™ll reach an orgasm at his pace
Kromer - takes a bit too. Sheā€™s pretty horny with a high sex drive but she likes to have her time with you. Likes that you have you to try a bit before sheā€™ll come too
Standard timing šŸ˜ŒšŸ˜Œ:
Dante - i feel like they have a pretty average timing. Perhaps it would be faster but they overthink a bit and itā€™s all a little bit ā€žnewā€. They donā€™t even fully know (or well, remember) what they like so that also plays a role. Again, itā€™s easier than with the characters above but they donā€™t come super fast
Yi Sang - also pretty much within what you would expect, you have to get him a bit worked up, itā€™s not as long of a process as it is with some other sinners, but definitely enough for you two to get a bit creative with the foreplay and such
Meursault - I think we just figured getting him placed in the middle of the tier is just funny considering his demeanour. That man is the standard, the average, the perfect representation of the mean. Sex with him definitely isnā€™t vanilla, I just think he finishes at a very predictable timing, never having you too worked up but also not rushing it
Hopkins - adding him as a silly bonus, I just think itā€™s funny he stuck in my brain. He also takes a pretty expected amount of time, he has to have some solid foreplay but itā€™s not like, really hard for you to get him to finish. Just let him have his fun first
Fairly easy:
Don - if you know where her ā€žweaknessesā€ lay (and itā€™s not a difficult thing, sheā€™s pretty obvious, I think. Again, Iā€™m keeping in mind how easily she gave herself away when she was questioned about her feelings on being beaten up in CIII, that woman was stuttering like crazy. So like, just go for whatever flusters her and thatā€™s your cue as to what you should do during sex) itā€™s a very short road from there to having her orgasm. Being easily excitable seems to seep into that part of her life as well :3
Rodya - she knows herself well and is used to putting herself first (since life taught her that if you donā€™t, nobody else might. Not so say she isnā€™t a generous person when she can, but like, it is often something she does for attention or praise in general, I think sex is a bit of a different case) so her objective is to have a good time. It might change as you two grow closer, but for the main part she just uses her own knowledge in what gets her off and works from there. Not saying you donā€™t have to put any work in on your part, but she will make it very easy. If she wants to have sex with you, at least before you two get closer, itā€™s so that she can have a release, so that will be her main priority. Sheā€™ll be nice to you sure, she knows how to be sweet and charming, even when thereā€™s sweat rolling down her face and her back is arching while she adjusts your hands to grip her just right. But before sheā€™s ready to be vulnerable, the sex is more so to fulfil her needs (coming, feeling important, so on) than to grow closer to you
Outis - my funny explanation is ā€œfast but only if youā€™re Danteā€ but my actual reasoning for saying that she would be rather quick to finish is that I think itā€™s been so long and sheā€™s so pent up that it just makes sense. Like, sheā€™s not about to ask for sex from just anyone, she ignores that need too much. So when she finally has sex with you, oh, she clearly means it and has been wanting to do so for a very long time. All in all, sheā€™s on the brink anyways so getting her off is a very easy task
Gregor - that man is starved and kind of easilyā€¦ well affected by your actions, letā€™s say. He has no real experience with being desired by someone so you donā€™t have to try much to get him worked up. Your honest advances and the way you treat him oftentimes leave him exasperated (he canā€™t believe over the half of things youā€™re saying, especially given that he would probably make you aware how his modifications will affect any intimate relationship you might want to have with him), but heā€™d be lying if he said that whatever you were doing wasnā€™t working. Like, heā€™s not surprised heā€™s into it, he just canā€™t believe that you would want to make such advances towards him in the first place. Honestly if it wasnā€™t for his self deprecation and fear of hurting you, heā€™d be on the bottom tier. But those dark thoughts accompany him even when heā€™s being intimate (or, well, especially then) so heā€™s still only somewhat below average. He probably blames it on his stamina (which also could be a factor, heā€™s not as senile as he makes himself out to be but he certainly does struggle keeping up in bed) and probably mumbles something about being ā€œtoo old for thisā€ and how ā€œyouā€™re going to end him if you keep doing things like thisā€ (his very roundabout way of saying that you affect him greatly). So, with all that in mind, he doesnā€™t last very long. The only thing keeping him from coming undone upon your touch is concern for your safety should his body act up because of the strong emotions you cause him to feel
Gotta go fast (sorry):
Heathcliff - not sorry about putting him in this category, only sorry for the joke. I mean, that man is pent up, worked up and so, so oblivious to his own feelings that you wonā€™t be having any troubles with making him come. I mean, for the past few years he dedicated himself to the thought of what could (or in this case - couldnā€™t) be and his ability to reflect and own up to the fact that youā€™re making him feel a very specific kind of way is hindered as a result. That man could get a raging boner every time you touch him and he still would hold off on reflecting on his feelings. So when heā€™s finally in a position to have sex with you, you will have him all worked up in record time. Heaving, panting with drops of sweat rolling down his forehead. He desires you greatly, even if he has a hard (hihi) time admitting that (well, that would mean that his wholeā€¦ thing was a waste of time and also would call into question if he was ever wanted by the person heā€™s been chasing this whole time, I mean, he couldnā€™t imagine having her act towards him in the same way you do. Whichā€¦ well, he doesnā€™t love the thought). That and his lack of experience with all things sexual leads him to release around the time youā€™re trying to get started. He tries to last longer and he wonā€™t leave you hanging if he doesnā€™t. Wellā€¦ I can certainly tell you that he wonā€™t. But heā€™s going to try anyways. Just donā€™t tease him about it, that might actually work in the opposite way. Or do tease him, if thatā€™s what youā€™re into ;3
Sinclair - if you two getting heated, youā€™re already halfway done with making him come. He gets horny easily and fast, but usually (always, prior to meeting you probably) his hand has to do. And in the book he is quite filled with thoughts of pretty sexual nature (that are quite a cause of his shame). But insecurity and guilt play a part here too, making him believe that he doesnā€™t really deserve to experience nice things like that. So when youā€™re so close to him, something he fantasizes about quite often, itā€™s making him overwhelmed in the best, most alien way. All the thoughts that could hold him back are gone and instead he is overcome with lust. Which then leads to a very fast release. Just like Heath, I totally see him worked up, heaving and absolutely coming undone. Buuut with the way he is, I donā€™t think itā€™s just him being all shy and cumming cutely just to lay down and stutter out a ā€˜thank youā€™. That lad is filled with so much anger issues and unprocessed, strong emotions that what you are more likely to get is an extremely horny, awkward, rough encounter and after you blink heā€™s done and in the process of folding under the weight of post nut clarity (saying this lovingly, not to be biased as the author of this, but this is absolutely a ā€˜wouldā€™ for me. I just donā€™t think heā€™s what you would considerā€¦ conventionally ā€œgoodā€. Which is subjective, even if there is a ā€˜popular versionā€™ of what good sex should look like)

Sometimes a ship post is just a vent post but hear me out:
Astarion thinking he's being manipulative when he isn't.
Like hes really genuinely upset about something that is of like minor inconvenience to Wyll. Blood drinking is a great example.
He's absolutely starving but he doesn't want to admit it and A) admit weakness or B) risk being viewed as too dangerous to have around because he's hungry. So he's just suffering in silence for a while until some how wyll notices what's up, gets him to admit he's hungry and then immediately offers to let him feed. Just because of basic and kindness it doesn't even have to be at the love stage yet, though this would absolutely probably persist past it.
But in his brain he just can't comprehend someone actually showing him compassion or kindness? Even wyll? So even though he did absolutely nothing manipulative just admitted to his needs he convinces himself that he is just such a master of manipulation he doesn't even have to try.

feels so good being the person in charge of deciding whether our organization will use AI or not. I'm going to write an argument so strong... no we will not waste an ounce of our time and energy on what's essentially a bubble the IT industry Really wants to try forcing on people and is betting on/wanting so badly for it to take off. The real gut punch is at some point I'm going to compare it to NFTs lol
#i also know this game very well working 5 years for a corporation that was developing its own various AIs back in 2016#i know what the back end looks like i know what the line of thinking is for people higher up the leadership chain and#i know that essentially ur algorithm is only as good as your data and you will always need more and more data if you want to be the best#and at this stageā€š there is no good effective product/service to offer. you need more people's data to improve your product#and you need other organizations/businesses to lend you their legitimacy for wider adoption.#it's how u get investor-friendly statements by saying X amount of businesses have adopted [thing] while saying#nothing of the quality of [thing]ā€š and there's no guarantee that the quality would actually improve if one company came out on#top and dominated the market.. i know a scummy data collection scheme when i see one lmfao. this is the second time#Microsoft went around me/leadership to try getting one of our teams to integrate Copilot AI šŸ˜‘ so now we're looking at#making official guidelines so if/when it happens again people will have to tell them no#fuck offā€š leave our staff and clients out of itā€š and stop getting their hopes up šŸ”« u send in a marketing team to pitch it to non tech savvy#people and don't get too into the details on what data u need to hand over. i just cut through the bullshit and tell them to send us a full#list of all the data they're requesting access to so people on the policy side can say no absolutely notā€š just like the last time y'all#tried sneaking this fuckery into our organization (-:#there's also always the vague possibility of IT infrastructure becoming weaponized if/when the broad legal protections the#industry's always enjoyed get revoked. jail a couple high level executives and the industry will do whatever u want and we don't need#a third party deeply entrenched in our work when/if that happens.. fwiw since we have an actual team of IT people now I'm#more than happy to make some in-house solutions for whatever teams are thinking AI can solve.. it's just a headache on all fronts lol

probably deleting this later and it's not like anyone following me actually gives a shit but most of the characters I grow obsessed with end up being men because the archetype and character traits I'm obsessed with are more often than not applied to men in the fiction that ends up infecting my brain, and not because I. hate women. sometimes you can rightly say people unfairly make up backstories and shit for underdeveloped male characters and ignore the underdeveloped female characters but I promise it has nothing to do with internalized misogyny for me, it's just me chasing after whichever character fits my favored description the most, even if it's grains of sand I have to work with. genuinely if you know of media with women who are.... hm... idk if I can describe this. cold, competent, and rational and are care way too much about the rules and have a deeply fucked up relationship with an authority figure in their lives that heavily affects their actions PLEASE let me know so I can read/watch it

s2 episode 22 thoughts
i am actually the bravest human alive for surviving this episode
(lmao i joke. MOSTLY. but op lore: i suffer from a chronic illness that gives me terrible nausea and MAN this was NOT the episode you want to sit down and unwind with if youā€™re feeling ill. for the plague be upon them all. and yet! here we are. my love for these agents must be quite boundless.)
ā€œdiseaseee episodeā€¦ okay so it is probably body horror time maybe idkā€ <- first thing in my notes, and yes. yes, it was body horror time.
(we open with a fellow in the rainforest catching bugs) and to me itā€™s giving ā€œhe was in the amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders just before she diedļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ which was such a funny meme. we moved on from this too quickly. those words will always make me giggle.
that is a turkey vultureā€¦ do they have those in Costa Rica? yes they do! wow, bird facts <3
ohh nasty, we see a dead hog in the rainforest, being consumed by bugsā€¦ bug scientist takes some of them while it pulsatesā€¦ and my nausea strikes!!!
AUGHHH the boil blew up on his face. this is eeeeevil!! i was diverting my attention AWAY from the screen at this point and really staring at my notes in the hope they could shield me from the nastiness
NOOOO now the bug scientistā€™s face is covered in the boilsā€¦ the vultures got him and so did the bugs, and i am getting the impression this is gonna be a tough watch, but iā€™m in too far now!!!! (it had been like. 5 minutes lmao but i meant it!)
scene change: prison time.
(is this the outside of the prison they used to film the Please Please Please music video or do they all just look the same?)
a prisoner has been sent a package. it isā€¦. some kind of meat??? can you send meat in the mailā€¦? just wrapped up in newspaper? i find this hard to believe, but maybe things were different in the 90ā€™s, or we can suspend disbelief for the sake of the alien show
the meat is pulsating and now the prisoner who received it has the same boilsā€¦ā€¦ deeply unfortunate for all parties involved
and now boil disease is spreading in the prison!! two guards escaped on a cart carrying the infected man's dirty sheets. so they are pretty much gonna die. but will they spread the sickness to the outside world before they do so?
enter our agents!!
this dude who claims to be in charge is a real jerk. and the agents donā€™t even know why they got sent there beyond to help with a manhunt, which seems beneath them. but there are some people in hazmat suits, so itā€™s not adding up.
the convicts are hiding in a rest stop and stole a camper from a poor family :( way to ruin vacation.
scully can tell everyone is LYING and she hates lies and bursts into the hospital area, despite the doctor trying to keep her outā€¦ itā€™s a serve, but at what cost to her health???
here, we learn what is at stake: 14 men have been infected, and 10 have died so far. YIKES! this is not good news.
she always answers the phone with ā€œmulder, itā€™s meā€ and idk why I find that so endearing. but maybe Iā€™m just at the point where everything these nerds do wins me overĀ 
NOOOO the dad from the camper was killedā€¦Ā Ā vacation ruined even more than previously thoughtĀ 
back at the prison, a dude in a hazmat suit tried to kick scully out by saying that she is violating federal orders by being there, and she says ā€œiā€™m a federal agentā€ā€¦. a queen of dealing with nonsense. she needs to know if the escaped men are out and about spreading this!!
ā€œyou see what I let you seeā€, says a man drunk on the power of a lot of people dying around him. and i love that these men think they can handle whatever this disease is without any help whatsoever (/s) the arrogance of men has no limits.Ā 
the convict is coming homeā€¦ to his gf and babyā€¦ SPARE THE BABY from the bubbling disease!!!
one of the dudes who escaped is on the floor of the gas station bathroom, moaning and groaning and covered in boils, and the other convict smacks the poor cashier helping him on the head with a wrench... truly despicable behaviors. and he was probably doing all of this for minimum wage!!
scully in da incinerator room... what is she doing there! she has a mask and some gloves and some bodies to investigate. she cuts one of the bagged bodies open.Ā 
NOOO the doctor tries to stop her and the juice gets in his eyeā€¦ he runs away. rip doctor. your fate has been sealed.
(rolling up to the gas station w the marshals and a million dudes in sunglasses that look like horrible people to catch the escaped convicts)
mulder finds the poor cashier that got whacked and says ā€œkidā€™s got a lot of hair, probably absorbed the blowā€ which is a crazy thing to sayĀ 
now he is trying to track the phone call the convict made to figure out where he went, but heā€™s using the same payphone as the sick man, and the germs... iā€™m scared!
mulder gives his badge number to the operator. Itā€™s JTT-047101111. will this information be of any use at any time? no. but I still wrote it down <3
woah loud noise! a helicopter arrives to put the cashier in some sort of incubator. this cashier has really had a bad time. and no one is explaining anything!!!! so he doesnā€™t even know where they are taking him or why!! transparency has never been anyone in the governmentā€™s strong suit, i guess.
convict cam. he is reunited with his gf. they are smooching. and that is not good for her survival rate i would guess. after they make out a lil, he shows her the other mostly dead guy in his car. i assume he will be joining the family but not for long. i'd be pissed if my man brought someone home after his prison escape. this was supposed to be about US and not some dude i don't know named paul dying in our bed...
okay the package of the meat was sent from kansasā€¦ susā€¦. from a pharmaceutical company?? could it be a fake return addressā€¦ (spoiler: no, it was not!)
OUGHHHH the camera cuts to dead flesh and boils and blood BLEAGGHH and scully extracts a BUG from itā€¦.Ā 
back to the convicts. the woman is trying to help the guy who is filled with pus, and she bends down to try and cool off his fever, and just as this happens the boil bursts!!! her face is splashed with nastiness and i moaned ā€œnoooooā€ and hit pause so fast because I nearly gagged... but this was not a foolproof plan, because it paused on all the stuff getting on her face, so i saw it even more, which was SO NASTY EVIL EVIL NASTY GROSSSSSS JAIL. sheā€™s trying to scrub it off.Ā 
just as she tries to get it off, the marshals burst in and get her. so now they might get the boilsā€¦ also someone scoops up the babyā€¦ put him in a better situationā€¦ but the other prisoner is gone!! where did his slippery ass sneak out to?!?
(we see an outside shot of the prison again and AGAIN I think this is the same one from the please please please mv. sabrina carpenter can you confirm or deny? i know you read this blog)
the doctor who was earlier splashed upon has revealed his boils to scully. but this is not all he reveals: he was LYING about the CDC being involved!!! itā€™s the pharmaceutical company that sent the package to the prison that did all this, and he works for them!! they finance discovering stuff in the rainforest to use in drugsā€¦ and they found the bug. and the bug has a parasite on it that makes the boils and the larvae are in the explosion. so explosion = infection.
NOOO she was there when his boil blew up so she might also be infected..... lord her medical history is complicated enough. let her escape the clutches of these damn bugs.
talk with skinner time!!!!! BUT... CIG MAN IS IN THE CORNER. mulder goes over to talk to him directly. is he trying to get them killed!!!!! because it looks like cigarette man put them on this case involving lethal infectious diseases because he wanted to get rid of them. oh, mulder is ANGRY about them lying to the public
meeting with skinner was NOT a success. he angrily fumbles with his seatbelt when scully calls to report the latest in plague newsĀ 
they disagree on what to do here: he says the public has to know about the situation, and she says that they don't because the panic will spread faster than the contagion. oooo, juicy moral conflict! but i must admit. pandemic questions interest me less having lived through one of my own.
despite his frustration that she is making a point about not being able to tell the world just yet, he asks "are you okay in there scully?ā€, and she says yes, tells him to catch the fugitive, and to "take care of yourself out there"... and her not knowing if she is gonna live or die, so she tells him to take care of himself...... has me very emo
now, she is locked into quarantine with the infected doctor, who is testing her for the disease, which involves trapping a bug to her arm and waiting for it to bite her. which is quite hellish. she looks truly disturbed by the event and frankly so was i.
mulder interrogating the woman whose bf is the escaped convict. trying to find him, but being distracted by her moral questions on who deserves to know the truth... not now, ask these heavy things later. success! convict boil man is on his way to the bus station.
cutscene to the convict trying to buy a bus ticket. and coughing all over the ticket woman. another minimum wage worker victimized by disease. wear ur masks people!
back at the lab, the bug has FINALLY bitten her, but the doctor from the company is going down. he says she has to tell the world if her test is negative because it WILL happen again.Ā way to push your guilt onto someone else, mister pharmaceutical man!
cut to her extracting blood from bugs. how in the hell did they film that scene??? she takes a deep breath and looks at the blood to see if sheā€™s gonna die or not. and she sighs but that isnā€™t an answer for us, the audience.Ā (spoilers: it was negative...... thank god)
in the incinerator of the prison, they are destroying all the evidence!!! by tossing all the bodies into a fire!!! the pharmaceutical company is covering its tracks!!! they say it was unavoidable but she says ā€œwe'll leave that up to others to decide!!!ā€ oh he pulls the ā€œno one will believe youā€ cardā€¦ but sheā€™s sneaky, maybe sheā€™ll think of somethingĀ that can prove it all to the rest of the world
back to the marshals and mulder at the bus station. no pressure but the prisoner who is about to die HAS to make a statement or else everything will be entirely covered up by the pharmaceutical company that killed these people. again, no pressure!!Ā 
mulder going on the bus with the infected convict.... nooo mulder, be careful, i whisper softly to the screen. and sensing his tricks, the sick man holds a boy with a gun to his head once he gets on there!!!
mulder's voice is all growly- you know how it gets when heā€™s serious. but the sick man is coughing all over the little boy. and foaming at the mouth.Ā mulder convinces him to let the kid go, and tries to get that statement that will prove everything... but....
NOOOOOOOO!!!! the marshals shoot the guy before he can learn what was in the package!!!!!!
so, in all: the pharmaceutical company was using the prisoners as guinea pigs to get their drug on the market without FDA testingā€¦ truly sick and twisted!!!
mulder is reporting this to skinner, and heā€™s gonna tell the public!!! mulder says that covering the truth makes skinner just as guilty as the men who infected the prisoners (which i'm not sure i agree with but i love a man obsessed with the moral weight of his actions)!! but scully bursts in and says they canā€™t prove anything because the tracks were so thoroughly covered.
mulder is adding things up... thatā€™s why they were given the assignment, so that if they tried to expose the whole thing, they would be discredited!!!
skinner says ā€œyou never had a chance, mulder; for every step you take, theyā€™re three steps aheadā€ ā€œwhere do you stand?ā€ ā€œi stand right on the line that you keep crossingā€ <- OHHHHH zinger.
but i'm conflicted... i thought skinner and i were tight after he intervened to save mulder a few episodes ago, but now I donā€™t knowā€¦ skinner, my feelings towards you are complex and unnavigableĀ 
ā€œiā€™m saying this as a friend: watch your back. This is just the beginningā€ <- WHAT DO YOU KNOW SKINNER!!!!!
there are questions here- such as, to what point does skinner knowingly go along with the corruption in the government? if the government was involved with killing prisoners on behalf of a drug company, what other evil twisted things are they hiding? to what extent can skinner, and every other person in the FBI, be blamed for complicity? is it at all possible to make positive change in a corrupt system?
also, are these the same guys who are hiding the aliens, or do you think that 's a different evil government department?
what was cig man doing there and why does skinner keep letting him into his office like a stray cat that gets one free meal from a nice human? (but that stray cat is evil and was involved in kidnapping scully) should we send skinner to the cancel chambers or is he a real mfer deep down? also, where the hell is krycek? not that I give a fuck. he sucked.Ā 
much to ponder, but i end there for now, because. bleurgh.Ā flesh.

One thing Iā€™m enjoying about my line of work is meeting people who are moderately to pretty successful in our field and not knowing who the fuck they are. Iā€™m in an echo chamber of niche creators where I have never heard of you until I Google you and it turns out the search function fills the tab automatically and you have an entry in Wikipedia. Oh sorry you have awards and publications? Well I run a microfamous niche blog on tumbler dot com enjoyed by over a thousand people worldwide. So. I think this networking opportunity is quite beneficial for the both of us. Youā€™re welcome.

Sarabi (somehow) meets rich readers family and everyone there is like "ahh yes.... son/brother in law" and even if reader tries his best to get them to stop because he doesn't want to spook Sarabi away his family just ignores him and treat Sarabi as if he and reader were already married....
readers mother busts out the wedding plan binder she had for if she ever had daughters (she didn't but seeing reader and Sarabi together is just as good) and starts showing it to Sarabi to "plan his and readers wedding" while reader is dying from embarrassment in the background. once they're home reader apologises profusely for his family and assures Sarabi that they have no need to rush anywhere and to ignore his family, they don't mean any harm they're just excited about reader having a partner
Sarabi would be like "Yes, my family now." After all, he doesn't talk to his own family and Kevin's was never really his family anyways. He'd adore being called "son" by your parents or "brother-in-law" by your siblings! He'd try his best to live up to their expectations.
He'd at first be taken aback by your mother pulling out an entire wedding planner, but then he'd totally be down for it despite how early in your relationship it is. He'd listen to all of her suggestions about the perfect avenues to hold the wedding, what flowers are the best to get.
Sarabi would gently brush off your apologies, say that he didn't mind your family. Maybe he'd even start looking for engagement rings to buy for you.

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?
No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
