#yes i will be participating this year! how can i not when i literally born to be on team stardust >:)

[moopermoment]

y'all know what's up this july!

forgor to include my artfight link lol

[lovewireds]

been meaning to post my designs for these little guys forever. insane splatoon rambling under cut to explain design choices and lore related things ... read my autism boy

btw this is a repost from our art side blog this was written and drawn like months ago <- minorly rewrote some things tho

thx splatoon users drfreeman & drcoolatta for fueling my splatvrai autism brainrot ... i hate u /J

GORDON

idk how to explain this but Theoretical Physicist is inkling coded . maybe its cuz splatoon species social hierarchy

Native ink color is Orange, but he has Dark Brown tentacle roots.

Uses custom weapons to attach in place of his prosthetic; It works best with Splatlings but can be adjusted to attach other weapons.

If the thing above didn't make it obvious, he's a Splatling main. He switches out depending on his mood though.

sighhhhh technically an Agent... stares at the ceiling...Main character...

His arm loss is like pretty much the same as in-canon but it's with the octarian army shrugs. don't ask me why he doesn't just regenerate it cuz hes a squid thats for me to know and you to find out. (get partially sanitized loser)

Born & Raised in Inkopolis pre-splashtags; He wasn't informed of the switch to Splashtags being expected when participating in most activities around Inkadia.

TOMMY

I forgot why i made him an inkling why did i do that. I think it was bc i didnt wanna make them all octolings but i was wrong srry we all make mistakes /hj I ALREADY REDREW HIM ONCE IM NTO DOING IT AGAINNN

Native ink color is orange-brown.

His hat has an eye guard for sensory reasons; He covers up as much of his skin as possible because he doesn't like the feeling of foreign ink on him.

He isn't a specific weapon main, he just uses any long-range weapon to minimize the possibility of getting ink on himself. If he has enough guarding, he prefers to use N-ZAP '89.

Makes his own gear for sensory reasons as well :) It's legal when ur dad's the G-Man.

Exclusively plays in Turf Wars, Anarchy Battles, etc with friends. He hates playing with people he doesn't know.

Born in Splatsville !! He feels like a Splatsville resident. His occupation is resident I cannot imagine him doing Anything

His dad is that creepy curtain in one of flounder heights windows /j

BENR(E)Y

Octoling bc I wanted him to be sanitized :) Other than the visual part of being sanitized, I thought him being clinically dead fits /hj also lore reasons below

Pre-sanitization, his native ink color was blue.

Great Turf War veteran; He didn't do anything in the war itself, he was just enlisted lol. He was primarily security for the Octarian Domes in the years after the war. Yes, that also means he is over 100 years old.

"Raised" (debatably) in Octo Canyon.

E-liter main (4-star Base + 5-star Scope) and avid squidbagger. He also uses any heavyweight weapons (dynamo, tenta, etc)

Absolutely hates working at Grizzco, he only does Turf Wars and Anarchy Battles. He only works at Grizzco during Big Runs. The type of guy that does X battles.

Professional Anarchy / Ranked / X Battler btw. That's literally 90% of what he does.

Got on Gordon's azz over him not having a Splashtag; i wonder what that parallels.

BUBBY

Genuinely don't have a lot to say about his design. He gives off Splatoon 2 Octoling vibes (showoff /hj) also i wanted to make his hair wispy like it should be.

Native ink color is a light blue-gray gradient.

The drawing doesn't give it credit but I swear those are glasses not goggles .. they're opaque-colored slanted oval glasses !! ^_^ u can interpret them as spiked or just eyelashes, both are right.

oh also the text under bubby says "Is Best" in some splatoon font we downloaded awhile ago . i think it was ripped from splatnet

Blaster main. I don't know how to explain this one but it feels right.

helps with the practical Map props (ie ink rails) and with some weapon gear manufacturing ^_^ tech guy

COOMER

Was going to make him an Octoling for the convenience of making his hair curly but i didn't want to make all of them octolings + i think his personality generally fits Inklings more.

Native ink color is an off white gradient.

Slosher main cuz he likes moving his arms. this makes sense to me. Also is a fan of Splatlings and other Shooters.

i felt ill trying to design coomer without making his eyes two lines with eyelids

War Veteran...Stole some octarian tech and got fucked up super limbs. Cyber Inkling stealing from octos !! [inkadia crowd goes wild] /j

anyways outside of the war™ he's a data researcher. just generally. he does shit with splatfests and eggstra work.

If you splashed him with ink he would stand unmoving. He would not shake it off.

DARNOLD

Ok i'll be honest the Octoling choice is primarily bc Octolings have the afro style & inklings have no textured hair styles (i didnt have the energy to design smth that could work) . His personality fits octoling too though :3

Native ink color is red-orange.

The fucked up guy that makes those drink effects people never use ( i use them ... )

He doesn't participate in Turf Wars or Anarchy Battles, but he works some gigs at Grizzco for extra cash every once in awhile !

the type of guy that goes after flyfish cuz no one else will . god bles !!!

not a lot to say about his design & his place in inkadia , it kinda speak for itself . he just wants to get by and make his drinks in peace . #autism ... he is pretty much exactly the same as his canon self

A HELPFULL GUIDE TO THE RAMPAGE FROM EXILE TRIBE BY CHU-CHU

Hi Guys! I see that there are many new Rampage fans - Ravers - among us and I would like to introduce the members to you. Other than formal group information, some of it will be my own opinions. You can easily find other official informations about the group on the web. Rather, I want to share with you how I see each member, what impression they made on me, and what I liked or found interesting about them. So please keep in mind that these are my opinions. And of course, I'm not a very old fan either. There may be things I don't know or misunderstand. You can share with me what you want to add or correct 💜

-I am also sharing with you some blogs that I know who is posting about Exile Tribe/The Rampage. You can check them out too 💜I will continue to introduce the members when I have time :') I hope you like it :D 💜

@ataryutaro @banqanas @elenilote @fextsubs @rainisawriter @rowdyshogun @thistaleisabloodyone @zhaolusi (Hope I didn't forget anyone :( )

The Rampage

A Japanese dance & vocal boy group formed and managed by LDH JAPAN.

16 members: 3 vocalists and 13 performers. 

They made their major debut on January 25, 2017 with the single “Lightning”.

Fandom name: Ravers ( RAmpage loVERS)

Formation: September 12, 2014

Debut: January 25, 2017

Genres: J-pop, hip hop, dance pop

Leaders: Likiya and Zin

16 Members: Likiya, Zin, Riku, Kenta, Rui, Yamasho, Kazuma, Hokuto, Iwasho, Shohei, Itsuki,Kaisei, Makoto, Ryu, Takahide and Takuma

And yes they have a hip-hop sub-unit : Ma55ive the Rampage (Likiya, Kenta,Yamasho, Shohei, Takahide)

I also didn’t know this part;

At the beginning it was unclear how many and which candidates would be chosen for the group's final line-up, the members later described the time as a desperate, harsh and stressful "survival situation". According to Kawamura Kazuma, the three vocalists were especially tense and taking the situation very seriously, thinking that one of them was going to be cut, due to the fact that LDH only had a two-vocalist system for all of their boy groups at that point.

But luckily they were all chosen :’)

However, while they were training for their debut in the public eye, the members later revealed that the group had been struggling behind the scenes and actually went on a hiatus the year after they were formed until their debut. Several members mentioned that they considered quitting during that time as it was mentally and physically difficult.Also Fujiwara Itsuki revealed that the members had also been working as staffs of the company behind the scenes in that time period, for example as tour staff for senior groups, or in Fujiwara's case, as staff of EXPG schools.

June 16 had been chosen as "RAVERS DAY". This specific date was selected because it is the only month out of the year that does not have a member's birthday, and because the number "16" is important to the group :D

During the first five years, all members of the group lived together in a dormitory.There were four rooms, and four members lived in each room, sharing bunk beds. Each room also had a room manager.

-I don't plan to mention TV series, movies, awards, songs, albums or tours. I get most of the information from Exile Tribe Wiki, you can read more there :’)

[doberbutts]

Got a couple more Astarion scenes yesterday while I was playing:

Propositioning Panic, who finally has understood that it's teasing and playing time, and actively participates. Does try to give Astarion an out and he responds with no no no I *want* to, which is interesting for character development reasons. Got the "what if I said I love you" "you'd be lying" because Panic absolutely knows that's not true and Astarion to his credit gleefully admits that yes this isn't *love* (but also he doesn't outright say it's *just sex* either, and afterwards they refer to each other with hideously sugary wording, and he's finally stopped being a prickly sourpuss when I speak to him because his approval rating is high end of good instead of low end of neutral FINALLY)

Now when I click Astarion to start a conversation, Panic says some gross fluffy thing like "first in my heart" which I suppose means my big himbo of a tiefling has fallen in love even of he knows the object of his desires is not quite there yet. Astarion is still distant but the furrowed brow and closed off expression are gone. His tone is warmer and he leans in when talking to Panic rather than slightly turned away like he's making sure he can literally flee from the conversation if things go sour.

Also the dice gods are being nicer to me

Mercenaries: we'll sell you our kidnapped slave if you pay up

Panic: I pay for slaves exclusively in knuckle sandwiches delivered directly to their captors

Mercenaries: o-okay nvm u scary

Everyone except Astarion: good. Asshole.

Panic: babe stop being so bitter about me saving people, I saved that owlbear cub just for you remember

Astarion: grumblegrumble how come you didn't save me 200 years ago then grumblegrumble

Panic: I WASN'T BORN YET OR I WOULD HAVE PUNCHED CAZADOR'S LIGHTS OUT 200 YEARS AGO OK

Fabian Aramais Seacaster S3 Playlist: side a

Here he is! God's favorite popular kid!! Song descriptions down below, spoilers for fantasy high junior year ep. 1-10

Genres include: dance/electronic, alternative, rnb, pop-punk

1. Stop, Justice

So many times we rise and fall After a while it's coming all together Together So many times we rise and fall Wondering if we'll find it all together Together Remember all the nights and days we spent together Together It's so easy to forget how to surrender But nothing's ever stopped Music and lights, rhythm and melodies Take us to the top

Is this about how Fabians friendships and newfound love of dance helped him become a happier better person? yes.

Is it also about how often Fabian fell during the Night Yorb battle? also yes.

2. Social Climb, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

Oh, come break some hearts now Tear them out File in for amusements with the crowd Oh, but be advised Participation is required Doin' things not typically allowed Feels like we're having a good time It's true, a wonderfully good time when I'm with you

Fabian Seacaster, The Most Popular Guy in School, Maximum Legend, making my skin crawl blowing off Mazey's twister game to hang out with Ivy THATS NOT YOUR HEARTTTTTT, THATS NOT WHO YOU AREEEEEE. AND I KNOW he was doing it for the mystery but oh my GOD he was too good at playing that part

3. Call It What You Want, Foster the People

You've taken your words And you take your judgments And stick 'em onto everything If it don't conform to what you were born into Then you run the other way You say, "Now what's your style? And who do you listen to?" Who cares? Well, the rat race ladder climbin' fake fake smiles Got nothing on me, yeah, yeah

Ok, so this is a little unorthodox for me because I usually only put songs from the characters' perspectives on their respective playlists, but I can't get this scene out of my head. In my mind, this is Mazey's perspective from the chunk of that first downtime when Fabian invites her and everyone else in dance class to Seacaster Manor, and Fabian starts to really come out of his shell.

Think of it like a slow-burn montage of the two dancing (literally dancing) around their potential feelings for one another. The song has a really nice groove to it, and it matches up with Mazey's cool and earnest personality.

4. Stronger Than Ever, Raleigh Ritchie

Hate me when I'm gone I'll make it worth your while when I'm successful But, when I'm here I need your kindness 'Cause the climb is always stressful I'll leave my peace in pieces all around The decent people back at home 'Cause I'm a big boy, an adult now or nearly If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly The world is at my feet and I am standing on the ceiling,

Alone in that big house, trying to be the best at everything, pushing himself harder and harder. The song is so perfect it speaks for itself

5. Thing Called Love, Kevin Ross

Don't know why you love me so much, oh When I can't say I deserve us Like a rocket's failure to launch I just let it self-destruct And it's not right (No) And it hurts twice when it's good-intentioned But that's life (Right?) Or is it my pride that wouldn't listen

Ok these last two are just directly in reaction to episode ten scenes so be warned.THE SCENE WITH FABIAN AND MAZEY IN THE KITCHEN??? Talk about the right person and wrong time and god; it rips my heart out. Like how he earnestly talked about how worried he was for her safety. THE WAY SHE JUST SAYS SHE HAS A CRUSH ON HIM. THE WAY LOU REACTED????? shoot me dead

6. Pieces, Sum 41

I tried to be perfect But nothing was worth it I don't believe it makes me real I thought it'd be easy But no one believes me I meant all the things I said ... This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I don't know how it got so bad Sometimes it's so crazy That nothing can save me But it's the only thing I have

"breaker breaker, Fabian Seacaster looking for his papa Bill Seacaster."

Honestly for a micro-blogging platform this place is pitiful. People are too busy arguing over petty minutiae of political views they ultimately agree on to get even the smallest ideological upper hand. For what? It's not like you're getting anywhere squabbling with fandom bloggers about what flavor of anarcho-marxist-leninist-maoism should triumph when some supposed "revolution" comes about. Not like any weak-willed discourse-spewing ingrates on this site actually has the strength to back up their ideals. I think I will go on a years-long hiatus and only return to see how you roaches have amused yourselves arguing about which character from a television show has the purest vision of a utopian society or should be arrested for sexual assault then promptly delete my account when I am through laughing at the pathetic excuse for social media posts you tumblrites serve up.

[dolce-tenebra-toscana]

La squadra and what languages (other than italian ) i think they might speak:

Risotto ✂️: Greek 🇬🇷

Italy is very close to Greece, and i think Risotto participated to some summer camps with his church group ( his granny had some connections with the local diocese ) and so he spent 4/5 years of his childhood in the island of Corfù. He knows the basics of the language and can keep up with a conversation but if people start talking to fast his brain shuts down and start singing " Ciuri Ciuri " by Roy Paci.

Prosciutto 🍖: French 🇫🇷

Ok so with Prosciutto is a lil complicated; his mother was a piano teacher that traveled a lot in France for concerts and sometimes he hat to attend to ( or do his own recital) and being the son of two cold hearted perfectionists he was supposed to speak fluently the language at first try. At the age of 15 ( when he decided he had enough of his family and ran away to Napoli ) he decided to put his knowledge aside and speak only in italian or the sicilian dialect, cause his hate for the tongue was rooted so deep inside of him. Eventually Risotto found out about it and knows that if he needs someone to translate some documents in french,Prosciutto is the right man!

Melone 🍈: Chinese 🇨🇳

The city of Prato has one of the largest Chinese community in Italy and Melone, being the lil know it all he is, was more than happy to add this skill to his curriculum. He started when he was in university and of course the first thing he tried to do was flirt with the chinese students from the Erasmus program ( his pronounce was terrible at first and received so many slaps in the face ) but the more he practiced the more he actually started enjoying the complexity and history behind the language. Now he uses it when he has to do some hacker jobs or just finding weird sited for his " alone nights "....yes i know, this mann CAN'T be normal.

Illuso 🔎: German 🇩🇪

Illuso's father was born and raised in Dresden but during a lil trip in Torino, was mesmerized by the beauty of an italian brunette...3 months later he found himself living in a loveless marriage with her and their unborn baby. Now, he didn't love his wife but he truly loved his son and he did everything he could to teach young illuso about his german heritage: he spoke to him in german when his wife wasn't around, sang his childhood's lullabies to him, made illuso watch cartoons and read comic books in german...La Squadra's favourite narcissist may act all tough and brag about his high level skills with the language but truth is, he just remembers fondly those memories with his late father.

Ghiaccio 🧊: Finnish 🇫🇮

You just got your driving licence, you are an angry teen from Veneto and your first car is a green Panda 4x4 that you are using to run away from the police after your parents had " a lil accident ". What's the best thing you can do to let some steam out? Hide in the countryside of Emilia-Romagna, roll up a j*int and listen to Finnish heavy metal music. Ghiaccio had some really tough times before joining la Squadra, and had a lot of pent up anger to let out, so he found comfort in finnish music and while he screamed with their lead singers in a very akward imitation of their dialect he actually slowly started to learn that ancient and interesting tongue. Now he can proudly speaks a fluent Finnish and whenever he has occasion he spends time with Risotto, blasting music and doing some wild karaoke.

Formaggio 🧀: Spanish 🇪��

Ok cheese man here is the king of flirting, and what language yells sensuality all over the place ( in his mind at least ): spanish~ He spent MONTHS in Ostia Lido, trying to catch the secrets of the iberic latin lovers and how the get all the ladies during his adolescence and now with his arrogan-ehm confidence, roman charm and smooth talking like an italian Ricky Martin he literally has to peel girls from his body. No seriusly 2/3 times the rest of the team thought he wasn't going to get some that night but the moment he starts lowering his voice and speaking spanish, the girl is already swooning in his arms. Watch out this summer chicas~

[sapphic-agent]

In relation to your (awesome) write up of Izuku, I want to address the victim blaming (I'm not sure if that's the right word, but I honestly can't think of anything else) that both the narrative and parts of the fandom tend to place on him.

Bakugou bullies Izuku due to his Quirklessness? Well, obviously Izuku didn't properly communicate his feelings with him, so he gets the blame for that!

Aizawa refuses to give Izuku the time of day outside of criticisms and putdowns? Well, obviously Izuku's refusing to properly get a handle on OFA, so the Problem Child nickname is warranted!

Sir Nighteye takes Izuku as an intern with the sole purpose of breaking down his confidence to the point that he gives up OFA? Well, he was being selfish in offering Mirio OFA (an actual take I saw) and Mirio was way better anyway!

Recovery Girl witholds medical treatment from Izuku? Well, it's his own fault for not having control over OFA!

I would certainly call it victim blaming, especially in regards to Bakugou.

The characters, plot, and fans have a tendency to try to make it as though Izuku is an active participant in his and Bakugou's rivalry. Except he isn't. He has stated multiple times that he doesn't want to compete with Bakugou. He doesn't provoke Bakugou, he barely talks to him prior to D vs K part 2. But for some reason, Bakugou's aggression towards him is a problem that he has to take blame for.

Every single time, it's been Bakugou who's instigated a confrontation between them. And yet for some reason, Izuku is the one who has to take responsibility. He's the one who has to figure out how to get Bakugou to cooperate. Everyone, Aizawa especially, makes it out like Izuku is part of the problem when he never did anything wrong.

The Problem Child nickname came about right before the Shie Hassakai Raid because Aizawa claimed he couldn't trust Izuku after Kamino. But you know what a major problem with this is? Kirishima is right in the room with them. Kirishima was also part of that rescue plan, in fact it was his idea. So why is Izuku being the only one scolded for it? Why is he the Problem Child?

Idk what Aizawa has against Izuku, but no matter what the kid does he's wrong in his eyes.

I think people really miss the point of Mirio's character. Yes, he would have made a fine holder. But Mirio is someone who's worked hard to master the quirk he was born with. He took pride in what he was given and I would say he even loved his quirk. He would have never taken OFA even if All Might did choose him because he doesn't want anyone else's power, he's content with the one he put years of work into.

That's literally what Sir Nighteye realizes as he dies. That Mirio deserves to be looked at as more than a potential successor to All Might. That he's his own hero.

But that doesn't make Izuku selfish. This is such a bizarre take because I would say this makes him selfless. He was willing to give up his dream so that Mirio could still live out his because Mirio was a true hero. He was doing what he thought was the right thing.

Recovery Girl is the only one I can kind of defend here. She was trying to push Izuku into being more careful with and mindful of his body. That being said, she went about it in the entirely wrong way. As not only a pro hero but a school nurse, it's her job to help anyone she can recover. It's not her right to pick and choose. And Izuku was put into situations where it was entirely unavoidable. It was either break his arms or him and Kota both die. He didn't have a lot of choices.

I think a lot of this comes from the idea that Izuku is a Gary Stu (false) so Horikoshi constantly gives him flack from other characters

WIP Wednesday...?

I -- okay. Just like with any fic I post here, I have no idea how much of this I'm actually going to write. Or if I'll even finish it.

But this crazy idea is based off of a literal dream I had last night. Basic premise is "ATLA AU: 4 Nations' "Match Making" Tradition Revived to commemorate the ending of the near-100 year war. Sokka and Katara are sent as a show of good will from the Southern Water Tribe."

Oh, and Sokka is trans.

Sokka folded his arms over his chest, meeting his father’s eyes. “So, Dad, let me get this straight,” he began, doing his best to keep his annoyance from creeping into his voice. “You want me and Katara to travel across the ocean, to the Fire Nation, in some – show of goodwill? For some – some contest that hasn’t happened in decades because the Fire Nation literally tried to take over the world?” 

Hakoda did not look away. Hakoda, instead, folded his own arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow. “The war is over,” he said. “It’s been over for almost as long as you’ve been alive, Sokka.”

“That contest is a – a couples matching contest!” Sokka protested, waving his arms in emphasis. “And they specifically ask for women –” 

Hakoda’s raised eyebrow did not lower, though something did flicker across his face. “Well, technically, you were born a –”

“Don’t,” Sokka warned, pointing a finger in his father’s face. “Don’t ‘technically,’ me, Dad. I’ve done everything I can do to be the man I am today. Don’t – take that away from me.” 

Hakoda’s expression softened, and he placed a heavy hand on Sokka’s shoulder. “You’re twenty-one, now, son,” he said, offering Sokka an apologetic smile. “Tribe tradition says that you need to find yourself an appropriate suitor. This – contest, as old as it is, is a great way for you to meet someone, and it’ll help build good will between us and the Fire Nation… or us and the Earth Kingdom, or us and the Air Nomads…” 

Sokka’s teeth ground together. “I’m. Not. A. Woman.”

“You’re not,” Hokada agreed. “Yes, traditionally, this event – as it’s not actually a contest – only required visiting nations to send women. But this time, they’re opening it up to both men and women. All of the nations of the world suffered as a result of the war. If Avatar Aang hadn’t been discovered in the ice when you were a baby, it probably would’ve gone on for even longer.” 

That didn’t make it any better. Nothing about any of this made it better. “I’m going to be the only man there –” 

“The Fire Nation’s offering up their Prince as a – participant,” Hakoda said. 

Sokka narrowed his eyes at him. “You were gonna say ‘contestant,’ weren’t you?” 

“Nope,” Hakoda said with a quick cough. “I was not.” 

Sokka studied Hakoda for a moment longer. Then another, letting his absolute disdain for this whole debacle show on his face. “I don’t like this,” he hissed, slicing downward with his hand. “I really don’t like this. What if they make me –”

“They’re not going to make you participate as a woman,” Hakoda said, cutting Sokka off. “They don’t know that about you, Sokka – that you were born a girl.” 

“But – the medicines I have to take, and –” he gestured to his chest. The chest currently hidden underneath his thick coats designed to keep out the freezing temperature of the South Pole. “It’s – not cold there, Dad. Not like here. What am I gonna do about my…?” He couldn’t say it. Not in front of his father. 

Hakoda gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. “Katara said she’d help you with that.” He stepped away from Sokka, pulling up a scroll. “I also checked with the Fire Nation’s palace physician. They have the herbs needed to make your medications. Katara said she’d make as much as she could before the two of you left, too. So you might not even need it.” 

Sokka’s mind reeled. “When did you get to talk to Katara?” he asked, his brow furrowing. “You just told me about this five minutes ago!” 

“She and I’d talked about it this morning,” Hakoda said, moving on to another scroll. He offered Sokka a crooked smile. “She seemed to think you’d be ready to get on the boat tomorrow, since it’ll allow you to get to see parts of the world you haven’t seen, yet.” 

Sokka cursed underneath his breath, which earned him a sharp look from his father. Of course Katara would think that – he’d only been bitching about how neither one of them had been allowed to travel past the revived Southern Air Temple since they were teenagers. 

“But – the Fire Nation?” he managed eventually, though even he could hear how weak his voice sounded compared to his earlier ire. “The same Fire Nation that almost wiped out all of the Air Nomads? And forced them into hiding? You wanna send us there?” 

“They’re the ones hosting,” Hakoda said with a shrug. “The Northern Tribe has already sent word that they are sending a small selection of participants.” 

“And the Earth Kingdom?” Sokka pressed. “What about the Air Nomads?” 

“Avatar Aang himself will be participating,” Hakoda said with a quiet hum. “The Fire Nation made that abundantly clear in their invite – they’d even said it was his idea to revive this world tradition.” 

Sokka noticed his father hadn’t answered about the Earth Kingdom, but – considering Avatar Aang himself was going to be participating in this stupid tradition….

“Fine,” Sokka said. “I’ll go – but you owe me!” 

“Of course,” Hakoda said, as if he hadn’t expected anything less from Sokka. “Let me know what it is you want when you come back.” 

Sokka knew a dismissal when he heard one. Or maybe he was just absolutely done with this entire conversation – with the entire idea of traveling to the Fire Nation to mingle with a bunch of people from across the world and maybe, just maybe, hit it off with any of them. Either way, he stomped his way out of their home and out into the icy cold. 

He needed to find Katara, anyway.

sorry if youre not still doing kinky asks but ;;; 💊🥸💌🦵+a wild card whichever one you want for Priscilla?

there is one fact you should know about me: i am always doing the kinky asks

Priscilla it is! And I'm going to take that wildcard as an excuse to talk about her weird gender 👍

💊Are they vigilant about birth control and safe sex, or more flippant?

Well, contraceptives were illegal in America from 1873-1918. Considering this story takes place in the 1930s, and the 20s were kinda all over the place with both support and opposition (especially during all of the eugenics shit that happened at around the same time), contraception was barely able to be talked about in public again. Priscilla definitely wouldn't have grown up knowing about it, but it sure as hell didn't stop her from having sex anyway.

Now that she and Henry have worked their way up to being a crime boss power-couple, she has more access to birth control, but she still doesn't care. She has bigger things to worry about. Crimes to commit, cops to bribe, drugs to sell, etc.. Not to mention she's a married woman, now! Her days of partying and hook-ups are (mostly) behind her!

🥸How do they feel about hook-ups and casual sex? Would they ever seek out sex from a stranger? How would they react if propositioned?

In her younger years, Priscilla took full advantage of the relative sexual freedom woman had in the 20s. She frequented illegal alcohol-serving establishments to hook up with strangers, and when she got into supplying those establishments with illegal substances, that didn't stop. Until she married Henry, of course, and at that point they agreed no more free hookups—prostitutes only. And only in the brothels they own, so the money would always get back to them. Win-win!

If propositioned for a free hook-up now, Priscilla would laugh and flash her wedding ring (and possibly a knife), and insist the silly young man go play with the other girls his age.

💌What do they seek out in terms of sexual compatibility?

Priscilla needs someone who can like... handle her. She gets rough, sometimes violent, and won't stop until she's satisfied. Loud, unapologetic, and almost insatiable.

Henry is her perfect match, because he can basically pick her up by the scruff of the neck when she's losing her mind, and doesn't mind getting a few bruises during the act.

🦵Favorite non-sexual body part on themself? On others?

Priscilla likes her arms. They're robust from years of crime-ing and make her look tough. She likes to be intimidating—she wants you to be a little afraid of her.

As for others, Priscilla likes a brickshithouse of a man. You need look only to her husband to see this. Broad shoulders have always been her weakness, and she has, in fact, literally climbed him like a tree before.

⚧️How does their gender influence their relationship to sex and kink?

Priscilla's fun gender all started when I wrote this exchange:

Henry sighed, resting a hand on her shoulder. “Percy—” She shrugged it off and took a step away. “Don’t ‘Percy’ me. I’m not even a man today, in case you hadn’t noticed.” “I did.”

Lo. A gender was born.

So yes, Priscilla's nickname is Percy. It's also the name she goes by when she's a man. I don't know if she's genderfluid or bigender or a drag king or all of them or some other flavor of trans person, but that's the gist.

In general, Percy was who Priscilla had to be in order to join the mob as a participant and not a woman to be sold into prostitution. When he got enough notoriety, he was able to "reveal" his status as a woman and keep her position (with Henry's help), but after being Percy for so long, she found she enjoyed being a man every now and then. It's not exactly 50/50, but Percy has a whole different wardrobe for himself when he likes being masculine, puts his hair up, and feels a whole lot better for it. And when she's back to Priscilla, she can easily throw on the dresses and make-up again.

Priscilla, as mentioned above, is a wild one when it comes to sex. When he feels more masculine, the kinks don't necessarily go away, but he's a lot more subdued. He's much more willing to let Henry take the lead, and enjoys more of a back-and-forth with their power dynamics as opposed to the very one sided display when she feels feminine. He's still loud and can go all night if he wants to, but Henry picking him up like a sack of potatoes is sexy instead of frustrating. That sort of thing.

broski can we please have infodumps on a random yuusona -💝

actually got shocked still when i saw this WDYM PPL R INTERESTED IN MY YUUSONAS GUYSSSS :sob: :sob: cue that one audio thats like "theories?! ive waited years for someone to ask me about my theories!!" or however it went

TODAYS SUBJECT IS YUUTO WHO CHEERED!!!! (is that because yuuto's been alive in my brain for months and kiyuu only a couple weeks... maybe but shhhh) fun fact! he goes by it/he and is transmasc, but this isn't known by anyone other than my ocs :) yuuto isn't his birthname & nobody knows his deadname, not even any of my ocs ;p my premise for yuuto was basically that i was reading a lot of yuu-insert and then retelling the plot of twst type fics, and sorta noticed how a lot of the yuus were really similar, yk the bubbly, shy, oblivious type? and it sorta got me thinking like "what if yuu WASNT like that?"

that then got me to thinking of the idea of "hey wouldn't it be funny if there was no grim but instead yuu was the one to be impulsive and have anger issues and be the one to instigate everything and stuff" and BOOM YUUTO WAS BORN there are alot of things about yuuto that i think are significant to do with his character and stuff, i really tried to make him unique and also just in general a character with lots of depth and thought put into him :D he's a very impulsive and violent person, often resorting to violence first when people make him angry or piss him off. (you do NOT wanna know what went down during yuuto & ace's first meeting /j) (yes he abuses the hell out of the fact that there isn't a rule against fighting WITHOUT magic) the thing that gets on his nerves the most, is people assuming things about him. this can go from people assuming he's weak, to things like assuming what he would and wouldn't like or do in certain circumstances, etc. he hates having his autonomy taken away from him, and will almost never follow orders from others unless he's close to them or unless its like rly serious he also hates being mocked or made fun of, as well as being talked about behind his back. he has gotten... lets just say a LOT of detentions for beating people up because of this... (he doesn't go to any of them tho) (what's crowley gonna do about it, expel him?) he also very much has an avoidant attachment style, and he subconsciously sort of like turns down the opportunities to interact with people like he probably should to keep connections and stuff (luckily for him he has kiyuu to drag him around everywhere) (bffies fr) another thing about him that i think is pretty significant to mention is that hes 100% an adrenaline junkie... he loves playing sports and he loves starting and participating in fights (whether life threatening or not) the only times you'll really see him smile are when hes hung on an adrenaline rush from one thing or another. he absolutely thrives at broom riding (in my au i made it so that brooms already have magic and all they need to go from resting to moving is just a little additional magic to 'start it up' which he usually pesters anchor or mace to help with), so much that he often completely refuses to actually do whats being instructed of him and just goes absolutely nuts on the broom (he literally does not try in any other subject except flight class so at least its something??) he also loves playing spelldrive and is in the spelldrive club. despite not knowing any of the rules until learning about the sport like less than a month ago or some shit he's still actually a really good player because he loves it so much

(if you see him grinning almost maniacally or some equivalent of that while fighting an overblot... er... thats not a hallucination hes just feeling a bit silly!!1!1!!1!) if presented with the opportunity to go home, yuuto with refuse, and will keep refusing till the day he dies, even if he was forced. he's attached to the thrill of this new and not-boring life at NRC, and thinks that its infinitely better than the life he had before. he thinks of the fact that they were isekai-d as a miracle, and a chance at a fresh start in a brand new environment, and he would rather DIE than return to the life he had before. aaand thats a wrap for right now!! if i keep going i fear i wont get anything else done today LMAOO...

i sorta didnt proofread it too much so i hope its not too disjointed....

TYSM FOR THE ASK HEART-RIBBON ANON IM SO HAPPY I HOPE U ENJOY AND STUFF :D more stuff is coming soon , im almost finished the official intro post for him and kiyuu, and am working on the pinned post for their rp acc which is almost done! (i might repeat some of this stuff in the intros, so er sorry abt that!! qwq)

Oversharing on the internet

Thank you @ambiguouspenny​ for the tag!! <3

1. Are you named after anyone?

Ohhh yes. My first name is literally the female version of my dad and brother’s name… Patricio/Patrick. My middle name is after my Abuela (dad’s side) bc she died a couple of months before I was born.

2. When was the last time you cried?

HA! I’m actually proud of this one *clears throat* ever since the 911 Lone Star finale...for now.

3. Do you have kids?

I’m 22 almost 23, so my only child has four legs and lives in my apt rent free. I’m also undecided about having them in general (bio or adopted)? I have a autoimmune disease that makes it harder for me to have them and I also had surgery when I was 14… lets say I have 1/3 of my left ovary chopped off bc of a random health issue I had as a kid and now I have a faint smiley face on my bikini line :) talk about oversharing.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

*Takes sunglasses off* Babes, I invented sarcasm. It’s the fourth language I’m fluent in… its a culture thing.

5. What sports have you played/do you play?

Fútbol and futsal. Loved them. Stopped when I got into college but I still participated in intramural games in my sorority/club. I also played basketball in middle school for a bit, but ultimately gave it up bc there wasn't really a girl’s team in my school.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their personality so I don't make them angry on purpose. I’m a notorious people pleaser, and I hate confrontation when it comes to myself, so I need you to like me…. LIKE ME 

7. What's your eye colour?

I have dark, brown cow eyes

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies bc I cry when movies have happy endings and I don't like tearing up at the movies. Emotions? me? pfttt

9. Any special talents?

I can meow like an actual cat, and put my feet at the back of my head, you know the usual.

10. Where were you born?

El Caribe 😎

11. What are your hobbies?

Singing, drawing, playing the ukulele

12: Do you have any pets?

My 3 year old cat, harry :)

13. How tall are you?

I’m Jennifer Love Hewitt, inches tall.

14. Favourite subject in school?

P.E and Maths. Mind you, I hate Maths with a great passion, but I was in group B (When you reached the 6th grade, they will separate the two form groups of your year group, in my school there was two class groups per year, and they will separate students in A and B group depending on how well you were doing in that specific subject). B group was always the funniest class to be in. I was usually an A group type of student but I always made sure I was in B group for at least a few of my classes and in Maths? It was inevitable. 

Anyways, I sat in the middle of the most chaotic pair of people, this dude (a twin) who had a crush on me at the time and this volleyball player who I once had a fall out with. For context, back home I went to a small British school, pre-k––12th grade, and from the 6th grade until I left on 10th grade, I always sat with them bc I will always LAUGH MY ASS OFF every damn class period. Our teacher was this 24 year old guy from Scotland and he was fine with us being together because we got good grades and did the work. I like looking back at this because, we weren't friends, we didn't hang out or talked after class much, but we always sat together because it brought us joy. 

Oddly enough I will always miss the poorly drawn dicks at the last page of my maths notebook, the stupid jokes, and the dumb noises they will make on purpose 😂

15. Dream job

 To be an immigration lawyer and help other minorities. I just graduated from college, so I’m taking a much needed year off and then law school here I come!

And my “You probs already did this, and def don't do it again if you have, but I’m still tagging you because its 2am” tag goes to: @noxsoulmate​ @itsneonbright​ @tailoredshirt​ @anchor-bird-94​ @taralaurel​ @tylerkennedys​ @catanisspicy​ and anyone else who wants to do this :)

Hi there buddy, my name is Athena. I'm coming to say hi, see how you're doing and this is a chance to ramble about your wips. Have any of your wips been influenced/inspired by podcasts or any other media?

Hi Athena :)

YES! Thank you for asking <3

All of them!! So...let's start at the beginning...take a seat...get a drink and a snack...this will...you know what, get that drink and a snack and I'll break this down so you can go potty in between WIPS. Otherwise you'll be doing the potty dance and trying to read faster and you might skip something...and no one wants that. *grins happily* We'll start with The Imperium Chronicles (@theimperiumchronicles )

Okay - the original concept started as an RP a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago with some super cool and super good friends of mine. We used Cassandra Claire's Mortal Instruments book series as kind of inspiration, but there were parts of her mythos we thought were crap and her characters were too young and we HATED the whole chalice thing....so we kept a little and threw a WHOLE LOT out...and came up with the original crew - Abriella (who was an existing char of mine that I tweaked and was known as Brie then), Cruz, Dez, Talon, Talia, Raguel, Arioch, Char (she's dead and we're gonna leave her that way), and Deacon. Some people wrote more than one. None of the characters were actually based on characters from Claire's stories, we more based it one her setup and if you saw our stories then and some of the old stories I wrote for Brie, you'd recognize it. It's been almost 20 years now...she's evolved some.

NOW...the obvious inspiration for the current arc is kind of the Bible - 4 Horsemen and all. But again, there is a twist on it. Mainly because having done some Biblical study, I am aware that what we have today is at best the English translation from the Latin from the Greek from the Aramaic...or something along those lines....there may even be a few other translations thrown in there. In some cases there were multiple meanings for one English word. For instance when Jesus is walking on the water the more accurate translation is NOT "Fear not, it is I". It IS "Fear not, I AM." Why does this matter? Because God was know as The Great I AM. He was declaring his divinity within the statement but what seems like a minor translation issue is a HUGE one in context. Sooooo....I've used this to my story's advantage. In no way is my story related to reality or religion in any way, I'm just using something that is real in my fiction.

ALSO...Leandre, Andronicus, Orpheus, and Thenasus are completely and wholely based on the BBC Musketeers series, save the last season which IMO sucked balls. They are even based on the characters that share their FC. Leandre is my blorbo baby...Tom Burke *swoons*. ANYWAY...completely inspired by...blorbos were born watching the series while writing Abriella stories. Demanded they be born and allowed to participate. So, here we are.

Thinius...yep...he is alive and kicking because Imagine Dragons seems to write songs that just inspire the fuck out of the entire The Imperium Chronicles gang. And they demanded Dan Reynolds be a FC of a character as such. Don't ask where his personality come from other than when I saw them live in NOLA, it came to me watching that man literally bounce around for over 4 hours on stage like the Engergizer Bunny.

Kellen got his FC before I saw Shadow and Bone, but he became more formed and his character changed some afterwards. The plot didn't but he absorbed some of the elements of Kirigan that Ben played, elements that I had been struggling to figure out with Kellen. It was tied into the world building for Uffern, and as soon as he grabbed onto those tiny details, everything fell into place for Uffern and all the others who live there...including Korben's curse. z

buddy look, i dont know how to tell this to you but the fact that you are centering your christian religion (talking abt jesus) in relation to a war in which both participants are part of religions who are oppressed by christians is oppression. buddy, jesus has nothing to do with this, youre Personal spirtiual beliefs are not relevant. literally saying this would all be solved if we listened to jesus is literally a) islamophobic and antisemitic b) demeaning (i know the right way and these poor people are wrong) c) just blantantanly fucking callous, like imagine centering your religious beliefs when people are literally dying. jesus fucking christ.

Hi there. So for context, you're responding to my post about Anakin and radical forgiveness.

Why would I talk about Jesus, and forgiveness when there's a war on? Because He loves all those people in that war, and they need His forgiveness for themselves and each other. I'm pretty sure everyone talks about their 'religious beliefs' when people are dying.

Personal spiritual beliefs have everything to do with it—the attacks by the Hamas were driven by personal spiritual beliefs, and the retaliation is driven by personal spiritual beliefs. Everything you do comes out of your worldview, and that grows out of your personal spiritual beliefs. No matter what those are, whether you believe in an afterlife or not, whether you believe God is real or not, whether you belive in absolute truth or not, whether you believe there is right and wrong or not. Those are personal spiritual beliefs, and they will influence whatever you do.

Jesus is the Greek transliteration of His name, which spread the widest among the western gentiles thanks to the Roman Empire, but His name is originally Yehoshua, usually shortened to Yeshua. Hebrew, means 'the LORD is salvation'. Jesus, Yeshua, was a Jew, born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, preached around much of Judea (present-day Isreal and Palastine). Jesus was the fulfillment of thousands of years of prophecies given to and for the Jewish people first, and then the rest of the world. He was fully God, and fully man. He lived, died, and came back to life all on Israeli and Palestinian soil. He was a real person, and I encourage you to look into that, overhaul the evidence for yourself.

Yes, many people have done awful things to Jews in the name of Jesus, but those things didn't line up with what He instructed His followers to do. The first Christians were Jewish, and Jewish people continue to find hope in Jesus today.

Believing that Islam is a false and empty religion, does not mean I am afraid of muslims. I care deeply about them, that's why I am willing to disagree with them. It's like a person standing in the middle of a street licking an ice cream cone, and they say, "Hey, I'm fine, you can't tell me to move," when there's a dump truck about to run them over. Believing the wrong thing is dangerous. That's why asking questions and digging into the background and basis of your beliefs is so important. And many many Muslims have come to believe in Yeshua and everything he said.

I dunno, is it demeaning to tell people they need help, and I know someone who can help them, because He helped me? He saved me from despair and darkness and bitterness, and He forgave me of all the wrong things I've done, so I can forgive others with joy. That kind of saving, that kind of life is available to anyone. From murderers, to little kids, to doctors, to exhausted parents. Palestinian, Israeli, Canadian, American, whoever YOU are, my friend, wherever you are, you need saving. Jesus, Yeshua came for you too.

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16-17NLT)

How is it callous to talk about the source of hope in hopeless times? I'm praying for peace, and I'm praying that peace will come through something so much more powerful than a bullet or a bomb. I'm praying that peace will come through forgiveness and the power of God, of Yeshua who came for Israel and the whole world.

All the links are to YouTube videos, some of them are longer, but I hope you'll watch/listen to some of them, and do some digging of your own.
