a man who just wants you and needs you and would do anything for you (gone sexual)
// this is a self-insert.. it can be abt anyone u want ;3 !! but if u need some help: atsumu, kaeya, zoro, wriothesely, shoyo.. literally anyone that’s funny but also ;) KUROO
he’s been making you laugh all night. lighthearted conversation not slowing down, and countless attempts at getting you to roll your eyes at him. he looks good, too, like, casual good. black sweats and freshly washed hair.
he’s sitting on your bed, feet flat on the floor looking up at you as you go about your business. he’s a strange guy, he says something unfunny, yet its hard to not laugh. its cringey and genuinely stupid, yet comforting all the same.
you’ve been parading some new clothes on for yourself, styling pieces for him to nod and approve at. the way you move around is everything to him. he could just watch you, permanently. he wouldn’t need his phone, or a book or a computer. just you.
and that has him hard in his pants. just watching you do your thing, your glow from previously being out, with friends and at the shops— it didn’t matter.
“hey,”
“yeah?” you cheerily turn toward him, eager to keep conversation alive.
“come here,” his smile has you complicit, walking over to him, “wanna sit?”
you look down.
eyes fluttering between how hard he is and his eyes— at how fast this all changed. he’s so pretty and you just want to nod and nod and nod to him, that you’d do anything with him.
“yes, i do. yeah, okay. i don’t wanna hurt you, though, so—”
“here,” he interrupts you, guiding your hips down, “yeah, just like that,” the genuine smile on his face gives you courage.
neither of you dare to move once you’re fully sat, no one shifting or grinding, just resting on each other.
“do you feel what you do to me?” he almost laughs in exasperation. everything he says is so genuine, “i’m hard just thinking about you.” the honesty hurts.
the man underneath you is everything. he’s so sincere now that he’s not trying to make you laugh, not trying to make you roll your eyes at the stupid things he says. he doesn’t have to work for your attention.
“can i move?” you whisper, his cock so painfully there. your eyes don’t move from his.
“yeah, just— shit,” he hisses, “fuck. slowly. just rock back and forth a little.”
and it’s so easy. it’s so easy and he’s looking right at you and he’s telling you how good it feels, and god, don’t you know how long he’s wanted this for?
“is this okay? i mean, does it feel good? am i doing—”
“perfect,” he reaches a hand up to the back of your head, “it’s perfect.” his large hand pulls your head down to his, face to face with what you’re doing, who you’re doing.
he looks down at your lips, breaking the unbreakable eye contact you’d had so far, and presses his lips against yours. your hips stutter here and there, unused to the motion, but desperate to keep it there.
“let me take care of you.”
you nod.
his hands are polite on your hips, firm in how he handles you. he slides himself to the head of the bed, patting right between his open legs.
“saved you a spot,” he grins. and you remember this is the same man from an hour ago. you roll your eyes, yet sit right there, your back pressed to his chest, “this okay?” he says with his hands so close to your waistband. you nod again.
“you’re very compliant with me.” he says, and there’s nothing— no words, that could justify that. because he’s right, “i almost expected you to laugh at me more.” his slender fingers dip beneath your clothes, and he’s kind of an asshole, but he’s touching you so nicely.
“oh,” you grab onto his wrist, “feels good,” he nods against your skin.
his other hand just wants to feel you. the outside of your neck, the crease in your elbow. the curve of your ear, the shape of your breasts.
it’s obsessive.
your head drops onto his shoulder, your eyes turning to meet his and you realise he’s been looking at you this whole time. you avert your eyes, a slight red brushing your cheeks.
he’s still looking at you with a slight smile on his face. “you shy?”
“a little,” you reply for integrity’s sake.
he absolutely beams.
all the while you can feel him right against your back. he’s right there. just playing with you, hooked on every whimper and moan and twitch he can get from you.
“i’ve been waiting so long for you, you have no idea.” his sincerity is overwhelming and so are his fingers.
you nod. because that’s all you can do. “another, another. please.” you pant towards him.
“another what? tell me what you want.” he’s smiling, you can feel it.
“finger. please. can i, please?” oh, he melts. your voice softening for him and your body tense against his cock, he feels like he’s going to cum in his pants. he might.
“of course. whatever you want.” his free hand glides against your jaw, fingers grazing the side of your neck. he needs to kiss it, and bite it and leave something there. maybe as proof that this is real, that he has you how he wants you. feeling good.
so he does, he laps at your neck slowly. his fingers don’t stop fingering you, but he raises his thumb to rub at you. and that has you really going. twitching back into him, jumpy moans and sweet noises coming from you, uncontrollably it seems. your hand goes to cover your mouth.
“don’t ruin a good thing, baby. move your hand. let me hear you.”
“it’s embarrassing,” you stutter out.
he grins again, teeth grazing your neck. “i know. it’s okay.”
and it’s when you cum, with hips bucking and hand gripped onto his wrist, that he doesn’t stop.
tears well up in your eyes, “i came. i came, i came,” you chant, maybe he didn’t notice, maybe he didn’t realise.
“i know.” there’s no emotion in his voice, he’s so concentrated, so invested in what he can get out of you. what sounds, what actions, the way you move. it’s like he’s on a timer, he only has so much of it with you and he needs to milk it to its fullest.
“it’s sensitive, please. it’s too much,” tears well up in your eyes.
“you gonna cry?”
you nod against him.
“i’m sorry,” he presses his lips to where he’s bitten your neck, “brave girl. tough it out.”
what he says leaves you with no choice. something clicks in your head and you nod over and over again.
you whine and cry, blubbering words and sentences that don’t make sense. sensing that you’re going to cum again, you push against his fingers.
“don’t. stay still.”
“i can’t,” you whine, “i can’t again.”
“you can.” he smiles. he smiles and smiles and all you can do is twitch and cry out.
and when you cum for him again, pleasure overwhelming every part of you, he flips you onto your back, strong hands gently laying you back.
“my turn,” his grin melts as he presses the head of his cock into you. he preens at the feeling of you hugging him, “oh fuck. feels perfect. you’re perfect.”
your eyes scrunch closed, blubbering like someone who’s forgotten speech.
he’s sliding in and out of you, wanting to feel every single centimetre of himself in you. it’s heaven and he can’t believe that this will have to end.
your head starts to hit the soft headboard, tears still pilled up from the overstimulation on your body.
and then it just stops. he pulls out of you.
“back to you baby,” his hands slide against you once more, and you know it’s going to end with you sobbing against him.
a fun night.

streamer!ellie hcs ⋆⭒˚。⋆
Tumblr media
a/n: this is more focused on ellie and less on ellie x reader but i am for sure gonna follow this up with something else more focused on the both of you >:3
warnings | mentions of weed, the smallest hint towards struggling with eating if you squint
word count: 698
do not buy tlou | ways to help palestine | operation olive branch
𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ started off posting unlisted videos of her playing games with the stupidest, shittiest editing ever for you and her friends to watch and later decided to give streaming a try
‎ ‧₊˚౨ৎ starts off her twitch channel as a faceless streamer but does a face reveal when she hits a big milestone
‧₊˚౨ৎ has the creeper mini fridge for sure!!
‧₊˚౨ৎ has a ginger cat named garfield that she exclusively calls garfunkel on stream because her viewers made fun of her for garfield being too unoriginal
“guys, what do you mean it’s unoriginal, look at him. that’s literally garfield, the real deal. you’re all haters.”
‧₊˚౨ৎ plays a bunch of different games: minecraft obviously, fortnite, roblox (and argues with kids on there, you can’t tell me any different). also loves fnaf, elder scrolls and resident evil
‧₊˚౨ৎ more on her liking resident evil, i think she’s not super wimpy when it comes to games like that but she HATES the regenerators from the re4 remake (i’m totally not projecting…)
“i am NOT a wimp, but look at their freaky fucking arms!! and they have gross little butts too, that was not a necessary choice for the character design.”
‧₊˚౨ৎ she does find it funny when she kills them and they jiggle as they fall on the ground though
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ i’m throwing it in here that she smokes weed because i simply cannot help myself teehee :P
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ she does more chill streams of her eating n stuff as a way of comforting her viewers so they can eat along with her )):
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ and in turn chat always spams her with comments to drink water because that girl survives purely on energy drinks to combat her sleepy girl syndrome
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ abuses the soundboard so heavily, loves using a sound effect of an audience clapping and cheering when she tells the most painfully unfunny joke
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ she is ABSOLUTELY a jerma985 fan
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ loves putting her fans on blast and reacting to edits of her on stream and finds it so funny (especially the ones that have the reverb fart noise just randomly slapped in there, she thinks it’s peak humour)
“you guys think i don’t see this stuff? i have eyes everywhere. y’know what though, you guys are actually really talented.”
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ wears stupid t-shirts that say stuff like “i paused my game to be here” (omg i just found one that says “gamers make better lovers, they know all the right buttons” she would absolutely wear that)
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ she wears her silly t-shirts with pride and has the audacity to ask chat to rate how hard her fit goes
therealher0brine: BOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅 0/10
elliebellie69: i beg that you don’t leave the house in that /lh  (╥﹏╥)
gnarpgnarp500: never beating the loser lesbian allegations i fear…
“guys you’re just not seeing the vision, sorry that you’re not this cool.”
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ oh my gosh she is OBSESSED with the little ikea alien, she has multiple of them in her room. she keeps one on her desk and when she sometimes doesn’t know what to say she’ll just hold it up super close to the camera and make incoherent high pitched babbling sounds
smelliams420: omg cancelled you can’t say that dude…
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ gets her viewers to send in clips and she’ll do high try not to laugh streams and fails miserably because she has the dumbest sense of humour ever. she’ll blame it entirely on the herb though as if her reaction wouldn’t be near enough the same when she’s sober
‧₊˚౨ৎ will occasionally play guitar on stream and she’ll sing too if you catch her in the right mood. she’s a bit awkward about it so it doesn’t happen often cuz she hates messing up and always makes a way bigger deal about it than necessary
“fuck- no wait, i was just messing with you. that fuck up was on purpose, shut up,” and her cheeks are flushed bright red as she tries to brush it off and compose herself before trying again
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ loves to get sidetracked and info dumps about stuff she is far too knowledgeable on
 ‧₊˚౨ৎ in conclusion, loser ellie supremacy
a/n: raghhh i love streamer els with my whole heart !!! i’m gonna eat her (˶˃⤙˂˶) anyways i hope you enjoyed, k bye mwah! >3< ♡

if i have to read one more published fantasy book that uses irl memes and online vernacular in its dialogue i’m taking away the toys until y’all can learn to respect yourselves. Not only does it break immersion in your world and detract from your characters having their own voices, it also makes you, the author, seem like a dim parrot incapable of neither original thought nor basic understanding of the passage of time
1) due to the timeline of publishing, any meme included will automatically be hopelessly dated by the time the story reaches readers and
2) it’s literally the same thing Ready Player One did. Hey look i’m pointing at a thing in pop culture. Did you get my reference? Did you get it? Let me list some more colors and shapes you recognize. Did you get it? And then Gideon Nav hit the dab or whatever. Hashtag Relatable!
It’s so painfully unfunny and uncompelling every time. We can do better. Apply some creativity to your own work

43; BAD JOKES
Tumblr media
warnings: jokes about death
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if this kept going, you would surely commit a crime. maybe prison wouldn’t be so bad, at least a certain someone wouldn’t be able to annoy you.
“please let me try some,” osamu asked again, staring at you with big, puppy eyes. at this point you were surprised that he didn’t grow a tail to wag it around.
you didn’t even spare him a glance, simply holding your bowl away from him. “no”
“please,” he begged, inching a little bit closer to you, only for you to back off again. sooner or later you’d fall off the couch. “i swear i only want one tiny bite”
you narrowed your eyes at him before shoving some more noodles into your mouth, shaking your head. “one of your ‘tiny bites’ is about as tiny as my lung is fine, piss off”
suna, who sat right next to osamu, couldn’t help but chuckle.
osamu furrowed his eyebrows, slapping the arm of the brown haired man. “no need to laugh, asshole!” he exclaimed and turned back to you again, wiping the frown off his face. “please, just one!” you however only raised an eyebrow, mentally giggling to yourself as you finished the last of your noodles.
“you know what” you set down your now empty bowl on the table in front of you before turning to your grey haired friend. he looked sad as he noticed how you didn’t leave anything for him — even if you told him multiple times that he wouldn’t get anything — and looked at you like a kicked dog. you simply shrugged. “when i die, you can take all the instant noodles that i’m hoarding in the cabinets”
you didn’t notice how both suna and atsumu turned to you, carefully watching you, not sure if they liked where the conversation was heading to. you however simply continued, your voice brighter than before. “i’ll put that in my will and then you get your noodles”
osamu furrowed his eyebrows. “swear it,” he demanded.
jokingly you raised your hand, as if you were making an oath, and spoke in a celebratory manner. “i swear that the noodles will be yours in three to five business days”
while you expected osamu to be content with this, he looked at you with crossed arms while shaking his head. “don’t joke about that,” he said, pouting slightly, “i need you to be serious when it comes to instant noodles, asshole”
you rolled your eyes. “fine, fine. a couple of months then”
“thank you” the grey haired twin grinned, comfortably leaning back on the couch now.
you rolled your eyes and muttered some light-hearted insults under your breath before you could feel your throat constrict, leaving you to hunch over while coughing harshly.
when you caught your breath again, you could feel a warm hand rubbing your back. “uh— are you doing alright?” osamu asked. he didn’t want to sound too worried, too in-your-face regarding this.
and he didn’t want to admit that he wasn’t a big fan of your jokes. he was worried, scared, even more than he would ever openly disclose. he respected you and your choices, he really did, but it felt so painfully real, a reminder of how it felt like time was running out.
and he wasn’t ready for that, he didn’t even want to think about that.
osamu couldn’t even imagine how it must be for you.
and when he was exchanging a few glances with the other two sitting in your living room, he knew that they felt the same way.
“me? feeling blissfully. why?”
“you make more bad jokes than usual” the grey haired twin tried to sound nonchalant, like he himself wasn’t particularly bothered and shrugged, pulling the corners of his mouth into a small smile. “i mean i’m aware that you’re painfully unfunny but this is getting out of hand”
before you could reply, you were interrupted by suna laughing as he agreed with osamu.
you raised your eyebrows and directly pointed at the brown haired man. “you’re the one who laughs the loudest,” you claimed, “they can’t be that bad”
“they are,” he shot back.
you shrugged. “then you have a terrible sense of humor”
his mouth fell open and he immediately removed his hand from your back, instead using it to point back at you. “this is a bold accusation and i will not stand for this kind of slander,” he stated, a pout on his face.
“then sit”
“this is so tenth grade” suna rolled his eyes before continuing. “besides, i already am!”
a grin appeared on your face, nodding in his direction. “well, lie down then”
the two of you continued to throw some half-hearted insults towards each other, before you were interrupted by osamu chiming in.
“sometimes i don’t know what the two of you are,” he sighed. “how can you say that tsumu and i are the worst when the two of you exist,” he then muttered to himself.
“i’m the bane of his existence,” you answered, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“i’m the reason they’ll be six feet under,” suna added.
“you might wanna hurry up then or else my body will finish me off before you do,” you chirped at him, “i’ll even make you a cute banner. ‘rintarou wins — fatality’ or something like that”
you had expected some laughter — or at least a chuckle — but instead, all you got was silence. you looked up at your friends, the three of them only having a sad looking smile on their faces. you clenched your jaw and sighed. “don’t look at me like that, you know about as well as i do how fucked i am”
sure, you probably wouldn't be dead by tomorrow, the next week, month or even a year, but you all knew that the odds weren’t exactly in your favor.
who knows what the next days would bring.
yet before the mood could get even more grim, atsumu leaned forward and shrugged. “well, i too would be, if i had a partner like iwaizumi, dude is jacked”
you turned to the blonde, eyeing him up and down before shaking your head with a slight smile on your lips. “like you have the stamina for it”
he put a hand on his chest in a dramatic gesture, his jaw falling down. “excuse me, i’m literally a division one volleyball player?” he screeched outraged, “are you telling me i’m not fit?”
“supposedly fit and yet you breathe as heavily as they do when you walk up the stairs,” suna now chimed in, his arms crossed in front of his chest as he leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes with a satisfied smirk on his lips.
immediately atsumu reached for a pillow beside him. “i do not!” he yelled, throwing it in suna’s direction, which he dodged easily.
“and you can’t aim either, no wonder your serves suck in a game”

Can I give a controversial take? The fun energy the Toymaker had in this ep is what Sacha Dhawan’s Master tried and failed to be. Especially in 13’s finale, where I found him painfully unfunny. The Toymaker dancing thru unit turning bullets into rose petals had so many more laughs on my end than the Rasputin dance sequence. which for the record is something i’m sad about because I really wanted to like that master but man he just gave off edgelord vibes and his “unhinged” moments never felt surprising

Recently, I have watched a series called "Cyberfarm"(Кибердеревня) and, honestly, I really liked it! Probably my new favourite Russian series and one of the favourite series in general…sure, it has it’s flaws (then again, what series doesn’t?), but I’ll talk about them later. Because I think everyone should start their reviews with a list of things they liked about the series and what said series is even about
Tumblr media
Cyberfarm is a series about two ex business partners - Konstantin Baragosin, who continued their corporate business, and Nikolai Kulibin, who made a small village on Mars, became a farmer, and lives a peaceful life there…a life that starts crumbling down after years later old friends meet again, to share out a piece of land they both need. Of course it doesn’t lead to anything good, and in mere seconds Kolya loses his home while Kostya loses…everything. Now, these two have no choice, but to forget their old grudges and help each other out, making friends and foes along their way.
Initially, Cyberfarm started as a short series on a YouTube channel called Birchpunk. That channel’s viewers were always talking about how good the VFX look and how much they would love to see this as a movie or a full-length series…which, eventually did happen, because people who worked on Birchpunk were sponsored by Место Силы and Studio Plus so that they can create Cyberfarm
YouTube indie projects getting picked up for a full-length series isn’t that unusual. We’ve seen the same thing happening to "Don’t hug me, I’m scared" or "Hazbin Hotel", as well as, since we’re talking about a Russian YouTube series here, "My student spirit" and "Обьяснялкины". However - I think we should take into account that Cyberfarm was the first one out of these three to get picked. And, at least for this reason alone, I think this series deserves more recognition, because it truly was a big step for Russian cinematography!
And not just indie Russian cinematography - there’s not much sci-fi Russian movies, and most of the ones there are are so bad they’ve been the butt of the joke for years (*cough* Cosmoball *cough*). So, yeah, Cyberfarm being a good Russian sci-fi is rather impressive…but, let me get back on track and talk more about the series itself
Tumblr media
• It’s really funny, actually I know that "comedy is subjective" and all, BUT I (and, from what it looks like from many YouTube reviews, lots of other people as well) consider Russian comedy shows painfully unfunny. Which is why, when I found myself laughing while watching Cyberfarm, I was pleasantly surprised…of course there are some bad jokes here and there, but I just ignored them (as you should)
• AMAZING VFX Good 3D graphics and practical effects? In my Russian series??? It’s more likely than you think! Cyberfarm looks really good, half of the shots are pure eye candy and it really immerses you into the world the characters live in. Speaking of characters - all of the the robot ones look especially good, so good in fact that it took me embarrassingly long to realise that they made an actual animatronic only for Robogosin, I thought all robots were made with partiall use of practical effects 😳
• Russia in year 2100 seems very interesting Everyone I watched this series with liked it’s atmosphere & universe…and so did I! The show is full of unique locations, starting with the cybervillage itself and cosmotrain and ending with various planets the characters visit, the most unforgettable of which being Ceres (which, in this series’s universe, is similar to both Russia and Northern Korea). There’s also a lot of interesting concepts, such as conciousness transferring almost every sci-fi has and a hologram family subscription…so, yeah, season one does a pretty good job at exploring the lives of hypothetical people of future
WARNING! THIS IS WHEN THE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW START!!!
One of my favourite moments in the entire series is when Robogosin’s memory card storage is getting full and his robot body starts automatically deleting some of his memories. Explanation for those who (unlike me) are NOT "human/humanoid loses their body" trope enjoyers: usually, the writers don’t bother about such things; so you can either accept the fact that yes, for whatever reason a robot’s memory card is capable of storing an entire human consciousness OR make some insane headcanons about how much terabytes of free storage the robot in question originally had and what for does it need so much storage in the first place…then again, you still have to accept things as they are in this series because Cyberfarm is another case of, what I like to call, "yes, this basic assistant robot has a voicebank. no, don’t even ask why it has a voicebank". And it’s even weirder in Cyberfarm than it is in other series because in CF’s universe Vanya/Robogosin is the only robot with a voice module
• Konstantin Baragosin is CF’s the best character We’re finally getting to the main reason why I enjoyed this series as much as I did. And not just because (as I already mentioned and as many of you already know) I’m a sucker for "human/humanoid loses their body or/and ends up in a body of a robot" trope - Baragosin’s just a really interesting character…so much so that I might as well write&post a whole character analysis of him, but in this review I’ll try to explain why I like him in short. I really like the way he goes from JustAGuyTM to a rich businessman stuck in a cleaner robot’s body and how this path was portrayed in the series. I know for sure that some people may not like it, but, personally - love how he doesn’t change his entire personality in the span of a week and only becomes slightly better as a person (more so not "becomes", but "reveals" that deep down inside he’s a good guy). Also - I really like how, instead of being sad or going "I can get used to this" (like the characters in that kinda plot lines usually do) - Baragosin’s just really pissed off about this entire situation…no amounts of words can explain how entertaining he is tbh, it’s very much a "you should see for yourself" situation
also i like him because he’s just like me fr, love his little stimming (there should’ve been gifs, but tumblr said they’re too big to be included in this post)
• Ok, that’s enough about Bara(Robo)gosin - other characters are also pretty good Of course my second favourite is Kolya, but I also really like Anya, Ilyusha, Galya, Lyudka…yeah, I liked a lot of CF’s characters
I don’t know what else I can say here unfortunately so moving on to…
Tumblr media
• ADs and product-placement look, I get it, I really get it and why people do that, but everytime Yandex Plus or СБП appeared on screen it felt like I was fully immersed into the story and someone forcefully pulled me out of it
• The way this series shows everyone’s hatred towards Baragosin is cheesily absurd at times, sometimes he’s portrayed as a total asshole and some other character still says something among the lines of "you’re an asshole and you deserve this" well, no shit, then again this show’s PG-13, obviously the viewers are too young to understand what’s shown on screen unless you spell it out for them. This series finale was even more insane - everyone Baragosin knows, even his best friend (!) were actually considering on doing what the main villain (!) was tempting them to do…just like Baragosin said in this very same episode - what the hell 😭
• Speaking of season one’s finale - yeah, it was really disappointing First of all - why is it two episodes instead of one. Like, in episode 10 (and occasionally in episode 9), half the time the characters were doing stupid ass shit, obviously to fill up the episode’s whole run time. So like…why didn’t they just make the finale one 35 or so minute episode instead of two 25 minute episodes??? The only interesting moments in these two are the ones with Galya and/or Robogosin, and the inclusion of some other characters really hinders the story with uninteresting plotpoints and plot twists. And, while I’m at it - the cliffhanger in which the villain reigns supreme while our two main characters suffer is…not what I’d like to see after witnessing their misadventures for eight episodes straight. I get what the writers were trying to do, but then again - that’s another reason why the finale should’ve been shorter, because at least if it was shorter it wouldn’t have left you with that terrible "man I can’t believe I’ve watched almost an hour of this just for Robogosin to end up at the dumpster" feeling…
• I like Pasha but I dislike Pasha I wanted to include him in my "favourite characters list" but I didn’t. Like, he has a potential to be a great character, but it feels like the writers wasted all the potential he had. And, once you realise it (I realised at the middle of season one) - he becomes really boring to look at it. His actions are predictable and you know he’s not going to take any risks - because he’s a doormat, always have been. Even when he tries to be the hero, specifically in the last three episodes of S1 - he fails miserably. And, if he’s one of those characters who are not that deep and the viewers are simply supposed to root for him because he’s a NiceGuyTM…why exactly should we root for him? It was only vaguely mentioned why he deserves to get promoted at work and those vague mentions are pretty much just "he deserves it. source: trust me bro". "But he’s such a nice guy!" someone would say…ok, and??? Kolya’s also Mr Nice Guy and he still got fired from the same job Pasha currently has. I just…hope he’ll get more character development in season two, but until then - he’s only interesting to look at when it’s Pasha&Galya duo
Tumblr media
7’6/10, bonus points simply because I enjoyed it a lot, would recommend. Watched it twice and will watch it again, can’t wait for the upcoming season two. Also you can expect to see more fanarts for this series from me because there WILL be more

As we’ve all been waiting for Hazbin to release, I think I’m honestly done with saying “I hope Hazbin will this— I hope Hazbin will that”- because not only is it tiring to say over and over again, but at this point, I realize that most of what I expect from the show are WAAAY too high, especially for Viv’s writing chops. There’s also the visual animation aspect part, like I had hoped the characters would actually pop out from the backgrounds instead of melting right in, but knowing that the main six characters all have fucking red in them, all I can say now is that I hope the composition and backgrounds can help set the scene of where we’re supposed to look and whatnot ect, since that was another area the pilot struggled from. Other than that however, when it comes to begging about what I think the writing and storytelling SHOULD be, I’m going to just stop saying “I hope” because I know it ain’t ganna happen.
There were so many things I wanted the show to improve on when you actually look at the pilot without nostalgia goggles or rose tinted glasses of being a Viv fan years before. You can tell the problems with her when you watch it. She’s too ambitious, she wants to introduce SO many characters and so many ideas to the point where it’s overwhelming, she moves WAY too fast, the pacing in the pilot is some of the worst pacing I’ve ever seen, you can barley take anything in or let anything linger, hence why the second act is clearly better paced while the first act is just pure agony with too many sound effects and fast moving animation. Then there’s my biggest problem, the fact that Viv lacks subtly, she has a shitload of “This is HELL” signs waving in our faces to show the audience that this is in fact Hell despite not looking like it, she has a gay drug addict character who’s named after the fucking drug that he’s addicted to, a “scary” powerful overlord demon that needed an exposition dumb about how powerful and not trustworthy he is despite the fact that you could have just let the audience pick that up by theirselves, like…Viv really likes bonking us on the head with facts and making EVERYTHING so damn obvious without letting us think for ourselves and it’s aggravating, especially since we now know that Heaven is so obliviously evilly corrupt and strict. I get that Hazbin is a cartoon but that doesn’t mean you should treat your audience as if this is a kids show. Hell, KIDS shows have done better at these things.
But with all that said I’m not expecting Hazbin to be good. I know now what to expect out of Viv at this point and the show is definitely ganna be a trainwreck with PAINFULLY unfunny writing, biased viewpoints, too many characters ect. I’ve already seen the dialogue leaks that were clearly written by Viv and my standards for the show are low. I don’t really have hope anymore unless Viv got help with other writers OTHER than Adam, but I know even if she did the show is ganna have her finger prints all over it. What I’m expecting is for it to be bad but POSSIBLY better compared to Helluva, that isn’t a high bar though. Still, I know it’s going to get praise, like…we’re ALL expecting fans to treat it like a groundbreaking magnum opus yada yada, and it’s definitely going to get good reviews from critics. Even though I know Hazbin won’t be great, I’m still of course going to watch, so I can’t wait.

My personal least favorite thing about SRIV is how they handled Johnny Gat tbh. He's my favorite of the core side characters up through three, but in four he's just... kind of obnoxious. I would've thought it would be cool if the aliens had brought him back to try and infiltrate the gang, and then he turns back to their side when he realizes how much the Boss and the others really do care about him and didn't forget about him, but the whole "Wow! Look at Johnny Gat! He should be the real leader of the saints!" bit that carried over into GooH was just unfunny at best and outright meanspirited at worst. We've had three games up to this point that've established why Johnny isn't the leader of the gang and respects the Boss as a person. I know his character isn't exactly the deepest well in the universe but there was something interesting in that dynamic, where despite his capability for violence and charm he wasn't suited to actually leading the gang. Why ruin that for jokes that just didn't land. But that's just my personal take on it, obviously others are allowed to feel differently!
i think you’re onto something and it’s not just a johnny issue, it’s a larger problem of the actual handling of all the characters in sriv. johnny gets it pretty bad tho. we get the most banal, surface level introspections on characters who have had 2-3 games by now to have gotten this exploration. the idea of simulations is reflecting their fears/regrets/etc is a good idea when done well, but the game can’t even be bothered to give everyone that much. pierce, kinzie. i’m so sorry.
and what you bring up about johnny i 100% agree with—the game feels more concerned w being quippy and referential and painfully unfunny rather than like. giving us any of the apparent reflection it wants to give. you’re right, johnny isn’t better equipped to handle things than the boss, and i think it’d actually be interesting if there was conflict related to that. the boss got them into this mess, and if others think johnny would be better whereas johnny doesn’t feel that way or is unsure, it could’ve made for interesting, long-lasting tension. or even the idea you brought up w him being primed and used as a mole could’ve been fascinating. in the original drafts of sriv, it was gonna have (a clone of) johnny be the antagonist. and while i don’t think that route would’ve been…..ideal, i do think setting up johnny and the boss against each other makes for engaging conflict. ofc it would be resolved bc we know johnny respects and cares for the boss immensely, and instead of just bad jokes about it we could have the space to show and explore that connection. sr2 works so well for the boss and johnny’s dynamic bc we really see that love come into play w the lengths they’re willing to go to for each other.
it’s why the idea of undercover w there being an actual schism within the saints is interesting. why the conflict between pierce and shaundi in srtt is one of its strongest points. why dex and troy have one of the most interesting dynamics. why the reboot’s “power of friendship” angle fell flat for me. bc saints row’s cast works best when there’s conflict between them that means something. instead of just wasting it on bad jokes and problems that get resolved by the time the cutscene is over.
maybe i got away from the original point but. yeah. johnny deserved better in that game. also imo i do still think the boss is the worst written character of sriv. but i think i’ve talked about that before so i won’t repeat myself. but everyone got it bad. at least sriv let us kiss johnny gat tho right😭

so hear me out:
i feel like every month the Twitter Gays find a new woman to humiliate with another very funny and quirky meme
last month it was taylor swift and her jet trips (and i’m not saying she didn’t deserve to be bullied for that but also literally every single one male celebrity also does this and none of them have been turned into a Twitter Target of The Week so idk) - and i don’t feel like it was about the environment, they probably do not give a shit, but they got an occasion to humiliate and laugh at a woman and nobody could have said shit.
now it’s lea michele and the meme that she is apparently illiterate. on top of the joke being painfully unfunny, having literally no basis and generally being dumb I think she has even expressed she is hurt by those jokes and all those kings of humor said about her statement was “AHAHAXDDD she didn’t even deny it 😂😂😂😂😂”
like if you hate women just say that openly, we know, stop hiding behind an unfunny Meme of The Month

Oh my gosh I loved the episode “The Administration” from Dragons: Rising! The one after it was great too, honestly the first really good episodes in part 2 so far. I’ve been despairing over how bland and boring this revival has been, what with the dragged out fetch quest for the dragon cores and the really uninteresting dynamics between the old and new characters (Wyldfire and Kai WOULD’VE been fun if she wasn’t so unlikeable, but even that was improved in these episodes). “The Administration” finally gave us an entertaining location (and by entertaining I mean SUS AF), and genuinely funny character moments rather than painfully unfunny jokes with obvious punchlines. Also, most importantly, FEELS! Oh my gosh I so love how they're doing Kai this season, he has matured and grown SO much and they’re really taking the time to show it (and also still OWNING the big brother role!), that conversation he had with Wyldfire where he talked about how he learned patience from Master Wu (during his depression when he LOST HIS SISTER T_T) was soooo cute! And then him just… literally being her dad in the next episode even while the others are there?? PLEASE, she is his daughter I don’t caaaaare!
And Zaaaaaane being awesome and a good boy, I’m so glad they brought him back, and that line from Lloyd, “Zane, not that we don’t love you,” aaaahh X3. And and and COLE SAYING GOODBYE TO NYA, WHY WAS THAT SO SAD AND WHERE ARE THEY SENDING YOU ANYWAY COLE??? You haven’t even seen the others yet, I need to see huuuugggs!!!
Oh my God and my sisters going absolutely nuts the whole episode begging for Jay and him STILL catching them by surprise just suddenly appearing out of nowhere XD. BUT WHY DID WE LEAVE HIM THERE, YOU GET HIM RIGHT BACK!
Phew, so yeah, the villains still suck, and Sora and Arin are still really boring, but at least the heart of the OG ninja is slowly returning.

[Interior: A dimly lit bedroom set with a tacky desk and a worn-out armchair. The host, a middle-aged man with a mischievous glint in his eye, sits behind the desk, adjusting his tie. The camera zooms in as he leans forward with a smirk.]
Host: Hello my Sluts, whores, and asexual boars! Welcome to my shitty talk show, where we dive deep into the cesspool of absurdity that is our world. I'm your host, the biggest asshole you’ll ever meet! Well maybe other than your mother in law, Let's jump right into today's dumpster fire of news, shall we?
[Opening theme music plays as the camera cuts to the host, who leans back in his chair with a devilish grin, adjusting his tie and picking up a tacky #1 host mug.]
Host: Our first tale of debauchery involves none other than the prince of the underworld himself, running off with a mortal cowboy enthusiast. Looks like Hell just got a little hotter, folks. Or maybe a bit colder depending on Hades reaction!
[Cut to a mock news graphic displaying a fiery background with the words "Hades' Hoedown: Prince Runs Wild!" before transitioning to the next segment.]
Host: Next up, we have a story that's sure to tickle your funny bone and maybe even your prostate if you're into that sort of thing. A teenager with blue hair and pronouns has become absolutely obsessed with a new anime character. Teenagers really do, scare the shit out of me. Let's hope they don't take their devotion to the next level and start another fanfiction harem.
[The camera pans to the host, who chuckles painfully, staring off into the great abyss before moving on to the next segment.]
Host: Now, for a word from our sponsors. Are you tired of listening to the incessant drivel of idiots who dare to speak in your presence? Introducing the Tommy Gun, specifically designed to shut people up when they piss you off. It's like music to my ears... or rather, the absence of music. Get yours today for only 400,000G!
[Cut to a fake commercial featuring a familiar boston man in a baseball cap wielding a Tommy Gun with a silencer, shooting it at obnoxious people who suddenly fall silent.]
Host: Ah, capitalism at its finest, folks. Now, let's move on to a story that'll shock you faster than a car battery to the nipples. A teenage boy with minor electrical abilities finds himself in a bar fight over war veteran discourse. Talk about shock therapy gone wrong! Witnesses say that it escalated from a drunken hypothetical conversation, to this loser going off and trauma dumping about shit nobody cares about! Gotta love that stereotypical depressed aggressive man trope!
[The camera zooms in on the host, who raises an eyebrow suggestively.]
Host: Looks like someone got their wires crossed, but hey, at least he'll have a shocking story to tell his cellmates.
[Finally, the host leans forward, his eyes visibly pained, looking at an obviously poorly written script as he prepares for the last segment.]
Host: And now, for our grand finale, a tale so absurd it'll make you question your own sanity. Picture this: a nun, a rabbi, and a dominatrix walk into a bar... Well, you can fill in the rest. Let's just say it involves a rubber duck, a bottle of lube, and a restraining order. Ah, the joys of living in a world where anything can happen and usually does.. okay who the hell wrote this?
[The camera pans out as the host rubs his temple, tired from attempting to make the poorly written news article into anything mildly interesting.]
Host: What an uneventful day it was! Gods this was painful, but oh so fun! Let’s see how long it takes for this to be taken off the air, I’m going for a week! Jokes aside, I’ll be here to make you awkwardly laugh at my unfunny jokes next week!
