Hi hii!! May I get a matchup for one of Class 1A? I don't mind what gender because I think that both girls and boys are sexc *cough* anyways,, I have black- kinda wavy hair that goes right below my shoulders and I'm a person who's always laughing at terrible jokes I make because I'm a funny person haha- I also LOVE to draw and I would love for someone who showers me with affection because I'm very touched-starved like that 🥺🥺 thank you very much!!
Hi hi hi! I was so excited when I saw you sent a request in for a matchup because I love making friends and doing and writing stuff for them alsdjflsdj so uh yeah I had so much fun with this! <3 Also, I knew exactly who I shipped you with the second I finished reading this lol.
I ship you with: Mina Ashido!
Tumblr media
-Okay firstly, she would absolutely shower you in attention, cuddles, snuggles, rub her face against yours, she’s just so touchy with you. She’s like that in general, but especially with her close friends, and even more so with you. She’ll just come up behind you with a “Whatcha doin, Y/N???” and drape her arms around your neck and down your torso. And even before you got together romantically, she would just casually cuddle you in the common area or in your rooms, and she didn’t really care if others saw or not.
-Will totally laugh at your jokes with you. She loves your sense of humor! Mina is another person who would definitely have inside jokes with everyone, and you two are always coming up with new ones. Contrary to you thinking that your jokes are terrible, she lives for them. She’ll sit there and hype you up and come up with terrible jokes with you. Sometimes both of you crack yourselves up so much that you can’t even get the joke out before you’re wheezing and wiping away tears from the corners of your eyes.
-The best part about the jokes? They start randomly. Both of you do it; you could just be sitting there studying or talking about something else entirely when it suddenly goes dead quiet for a moment, and then... “Hey, Y/N.” “Yeah?” “What did the socks say to the pants?” “I don’t know, Mina, what did they say?” “Sup, britches?” Cue the wild laughter and hollering. You’ve probably woken some others up in the middle of the night before during one of your sleepovers because of how much you make each other laugh.
-Mina loves your drawings. She’s so supportive of your work and will help you with it in any way she can! If you make her your muse, she’ll be head over heels for you in an instant. Not that she wasn’t already before, but she would really enjoy knowing she’s a source for your inspiration and passion. Also, Mina is hardly a serious person, but if you’re ever feeling down on yourself for how little you’ve drawn or like your your art isn’t good enough, she will 100% get serious with you and tell you how amazing your drawings are and how much hard work she sees you putting into them. She’ll make it her mission to build your self confidence back up.
-If she ever hears you say that you’re touch starved, you are NEVER getting rid of her. Like, ever. She will constantly be all over you 24/7 (as long as you’re okay with it) and holding you, cuddling you, and sneaking into your dorm to snuggle up to you at night. You’re not sure how many times the teachers have scolded her for that, but it’s way too many to count. You don’t mind though...she’s warm and soft and very very cuddly. :) She is a precious pink gremlin who loves you with her whole heart!
Fall Drabble: Hayrides 
I didn’t see a fall themed word in your ask so I just went ahead with this one, I hope that’s okay! Also I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors, the second half of this was written while I was v tired and it was not proof read at all.
“Alright, here we are. Please make sure to behave yourselves accordingly.”
Aizawa stood up and hopped out of the doors to the giant bus you’d been on for over an hour now, which prompted the other students to stand and stretch or grab their things before exiting the vehicle. You and Mina had been at the very back, so you relaxed a bit as everyone else filed out into the field filled with pumpkins.
“I can’t believe they’re really letting us take a field trip to a pumpkin patch this year. Isn’t this so awesome!?” Your girlfriend squealed beside you as she waved her arms around and jumped up in excitement. Her eyes shone bright with joy, and you found it adorable how she could be so full of sunshine over the smallest things. You were so glad she was a part of your life. “Do you think they have apple cider here? Awe, man I hope they do! I haven’t had any in ages.”
“I’m sure they do,” you replied as you finally stepped off the bus.
The field in front of you was filled with pumpkins for as far as the eye could see, and off to the left there was a small gravel road that led to a dusty old barn with chipping red paint and a few boarded up windows. In front of the barn was a peculiar booth setup, and as you read the sign above it, you nudged Mina in the side and pointed over in the general direction of the building. 
“I think I found your apple cider. Wanna go get some?” you asked with a grin.
“Oh, hell yes!”
The two of you made your way over and quickly got in line where you waited for what felt like forever before you were finally served. You reached your hand into your pocket to fish your wallet out and cover the cost, but Mina smacked your hand away and payed with her money instead before thanking the server.
“Why’d you do that? I’ve been saving up for this all week!” You pouted and whined, but she just brushed you off and smiled at you.
“Don’t worry about it. You know I love spoiling you!” Your pink counterpart giggled and bounced along next to you as you walked around the field looking at pumpkins after that. It didn’t take long to finish your drinks, and you were debating going back for another when a loud sound coming from the right caught the attention of both of you. “What do you think that is?” Mina asked you curiously. 
“It kind of sounds like...a tractor?” 
Sure enough, the giant machine was weaving it’s way through a beaten path in the middle of the pumpkin patch with a huge open trailer attached at the back. You watched as other students seemed to gather around it in anticipation for something. The tractor finally came to a stop a minute later by the entrance to the field, and some of your classmates hopped up onto the trailer bed where there were bales of straw for seats, and leaves scattered all over the floor amongst the loose strands of straw.
“It is a tractor, and they’re giving hayrides Can we go can we co can we go? Y/N please!” Mina begged. She clasped your hands in hers and shook them around as if that would help to convince you. Not that you needed any convincing, anyways. Of course you would go with her; all she had to do was ask.
“Let’s do it!” You tried to match her enthusiasm, but you weren’t sure anyone could outshine Mina, yourself included.
“Yassss! Come on then!”
The two of you scrambled your way over to the huge green tractor and hoisted yourselves up and into the trailer bed, greeting the other students as you did so. You spotted Ochaco and Midoriya on your right towards the end with Asui, Shouto and Iida were on your left, Tokoyami, Sero, Kaminari and Jirou were in front of you sitting in a neat line, and to your amazement, even Aoyama had tagged along. Mr. Aizawa sat at the very front of the trailer to oversee everyone and communicate with the driver, a stack of blankets in his hands in case anyone got cold.
As the tractor took off with a bumpy start, you accidentally lurched sideways into your girlfriend. She wrapped an arm around you to help keep you steady as you were all pulled along slowly, the holes in the ground making you bounce up and down every time the tractor drove over them. But you had to admit, this was fun. You couldn’t remember the last time you’d been out to do something like this. Maybe when you were a kid?
“Aizawa sensei, can we have a blanket?” Mina asked, and suddenly there was something soft being thrown at you. Mina unfolded it carefully and tossed it around you both to keep you warm. You leaned further into her, glad to be with her on a perfect Fall day like this one.
What more could you ask for?

Character Interview: Kel’aari
Tagged by @highexarchs, thank you!
Not tagging anyone because I’ve done this once before and have about seven more to go, and I don’t want to spam people.
Tumblr media
(art by @psychoslave)
► Name ➔ “Kel’aari. Or Darth Imperius, if we’re being formal.”
► Are you single? ➔ “The answer is ‘no’ several times over, and I’m afraid that I’m not looking for more partners. Maybe if the right sort of person came along, of course… but it doesn’t seem all that likely.”
► Are you happy? ➔ “Yes, I do think so.” Her smile turns odd and crooked for a moment, and it feels like catching a glimpse of something—though it’s not clear what. “I’ve spent too long wondering about the answer to that question, and wondering what it said about me if I was. But it doesn’t do the galaxy any more good if I’m miserable, or paralyzed by guilt, or whatever it is I ‘should’ be. If that makes me a bad person, I can live with that, because I’m still protecting people that need it.”
► Are you angry? ➔ “I am Sith, in case you’ve forgotten. Just because I don’t go around ranting and smashing consoles with my mind doesn’t mean I don’t channel my rage. I just… focus it more tightly than most.”
► Are your parents still married? ➔ “My mother is dead and with the Goddess. I don’t know who my father is, or whether he ever committed himself.”
NINE FACTS
► Birthplace ➔ “I was born in a slave district in Kaas City. I’d prefer not to go into more detail about that, and I’m sure no one really wants to hear it anyway.”
► Hair Color ➔ “…let’s just skip that, shall we?”
► Eye Color ➔ “Sort of purple-ish. Sometimes very purple, and glowing besides, but only on special occasions.”
► Birthday ➔ “Oh, Goddess, I forget. It wasn’t really a consideration during my formative years, you know?” She winks outrageously. “But if you wanted to send me a gift, I wouldn’t quibble about the date.”
► Mood ➔ “I’d say you’ve caught me in a good one. Don’t you feel lucky?”
► Gender ➔ “I’m a cis woman. I considered the traditional Rylothian options, once I had the opportunity, but none of the others suited me more.”
► Summer or winter? ➔ “I’d say both have their advantages. Though if you’re asking me whether I prefer Tatooine or Hoth, the answer is no.”
► Morning or afternoon? ➔ “I’m definitely a morning person. Nikki once threatened to shoot me for it, but I’m fairly sure he was joking. Besides, 0600 hours isn’t that bad.”
EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE
► Are you in love? ➔ “Yes. Perhaps to an extreme degree, even.”
► Do you believe in love at first sight? ➔ “No. It’s a silly concept, and it only serves to disappoint people. Now, lust at first sight… can be fun, and can certainly develop further.”
► Who ended your last relationship? ➔ “If that fling on Alderaan counts, a very irritating Jedi with unfortunately precise aim. Otherwise… Lana and I did break up for a while, to focus on our respective duties. We eventually thought better of it.”
► Have you ever broken someone’s heart? ➔ “There was an ill-fated matchmaking attempt, but I can’t say anyone there was heartbroken over me.”
► Are you afraid of commitments? ➔ “I’m cautious with them—with my position, that’s only rational. But I commit myself to everything I do and everyone I care about, and anything that threatens my partners, my family, or my people… should consider what it means to be up against me.”
► Have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ “I absolutely did not ambush my husband outside the ‘fresher this morning and I have no idea who might have told you such an obvious lie.”
► Have you ever had a secret admirer? ➔ “Oh, I’m sure I have lots. I’d be a bit disappointed if I didn’t. But it’s a bit different when you’re a public figure, isn’t it?”
► Have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ “…Once or twice. But not usually over love.”
SIX CHOICES
► Love or lust? ➔ “Do I have to pick? Fine. Love, of course. I’ve always been a bit of a sap.”
► Lemonade or iced tea? ➔ “Iced tea. I don’t like the sour fruit juices very much.”
► Cats or dogs? ➔ “Cats are better for an enclosed space, like a ship or a compound. I have enough problems—I don’t need people trying to kidnap my pets during walks!”
► A few best friends or many regular friends? ➔ “My friends are my family, and too large a family would be hard to protect.”
► Wild night out or romantic night in? ➔ “I’ve been fond of either option, depending on the occasion. I went along with one impossible choice, now I’m invoking my prerogative as a Sith to be greedy and say ‘both.’”
► Day or night? ➔ “Night. It’s always nice to see stars.”
FOUR HAVE YOU EVERS
► Been caught sneaking out? ➔ “Caught? No.”
► Fallen down/up the stairs? ➔ “Is that really such a common thing to do? No, I haven’t.”
► Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ “Every time I’ve wanted something.”
► Wanted to disappear? ➔ “Of course! And I learned to do it, too.”
FOUR PREFERENCES
► Smile or eyes? ➔ “Difficult. Eyes, I would say.”
► Shorter or taller? ➔ “I’m about five foot three, I wouldn’t say I’ve had much choice in the matter.”
► Intelligence or attraction? ➔ “I won’t make the obvious joke. Intelligence is attractive—well, no, competence is attractive, no matter what form it takes. But intelligence is a kind of competence. Still, if the spark isn’t there, then what’s the point?”
► Hook-up or relationship? ➔ “I’ve had both, and I can say I prefer the latter—even if it’s nice to just blow off steam now and then.”
FAMILY
► Do you and your family get along? ➔ “My family is the family I choose. I wouldn’t have chosen them otherwise.”
► Would you say you have a “messed up life”? ➔ She laughs. She doesn’t stop for at least a minute, long after it’s gotten uncomfortable. “If mine doesn’t count, nobody’s does.”
► Have you ever run away from home? ➔ “I considered trying to stow away, but it never seemed like it would work.”
► Have you ever gotten kicked out? ➔ “The galaxy only wishes.”
FRIENDS
► Do you secretly hate one of your friends? ➔ “I secretly hate plenty of people, but no one close to me.”
► Do you consider all of your friends good friends? ➔ “For the most part. Anyone outside my crew is more of an… ally.”
► Who is your best friend? ➔ “It’s definitely Talos. No one else understands it when I complain about historical figures like they’ve personally wronged me.” She clears her throat quietly. “…I mean, really, some of them have.”
► Who knows everything about you? ➔ “I’m sure Outis and Lana are competing to be the first. But some of my secrets are quite hard to dig up—even by their standards.”

About the Mun
Tumblr media
Like to be Called: Adi, Addie works for me.
Gender: Female
Things you should know about me: 
1.      I don’t do drama. Now, most people go on and say that and then end up at the center of some proverbial maelstrom. Not me. I actively avoid it and go out of my way to make sure I don’t cause any for others. I’ve no time or energy for the petty nonsense I see on tumblr in general. I don’t do call out posts (unless you’re adorable, and then I might) and I am the first person who will come talk to you if there is a problem or I suspect there might be. I’m also 38, and my time with vapid drama is totally and 100% over.
2.      I try and be extremely communicative with the people I write with. I admit, there are times when RP/RL gets overwhelming and I need time to regroup, but I’m not the sort to up and disappear for months on end without a word.
3.      I invest my time to RP/write because it’s something I love to do. But, I am also a mom (shout out to my eldest nerdling @aesthetically-kaelyn ) and wife, and while my schedule isn’t totally hectic, my family comes first.
4.      I’m not scary and you shouldn’t be intimidated by reaching out/wanting to RP…AT ALL. I’m a complete and total dork who will gush about your muses (because I read EVERYTHING) and fangirl to the highest degree. I am 10000% invested in peoples stories and creative worlds because it influences and inspires my own on so many levels. Please, don’t be shy or think ‘Oh wow, they are so good I could never keep up.’ I struggle, just like everyone else, with anxiety and self-doubt when it comes to my writing. I relish and welcome the chance to write with new people/personalities of all sorts!
Things you should know about my characters:
1.      Adilynia is my main character, and while yes her story with the Trinity is involved, there are plenty of opportunities to meet/engage yourself with the little ball of sunshine on almost every level.
2.      I am more than capable of bouncing between characters/alts without much time needed to regroup. So, if one isn’t your cup of tea… the others weirdos in my head might be.
3.      I keep my list of muses small(ish) so I can make sure they are well rounded and flow without seeming to be forced into some story. So, both they and the Mun are open to so much more.
4. I love WoW dragon lore, and as a result have a small contingent of them scattered through my stories, especially with Addie.

A Buffy rewatch 2x15 Phases
aka male aggression and the Buffy feminism
Welcome to this dailyish text post series where I will rewatch an episode of Buffy and point out / hyperfocus on one detail in it in 10-3k words. Or maybe go through each and every random scene I choose. Rules are fake.
And today’s episode is one that I enjoy and love immensely, but it’s also the perfect opportunity to talk about the dreaded subject:
Why does Buffy’s feminism feel dated?
Tumblr media
But before that, it’s time for everyone’s* (*my) favorite segment - Buffy/Willow out of context.
Buffy:  Meow! Willow:  Really? Thanks. I've never gotten a 'meow' before.
Even Larry’s being gross about wanting ‘some of that Buffy/Willow action’... And like... I know that you’re going through stuff my dude, but still., don’t ruin this for the rest of us.
Willow is also complaining about guys and dudes in general at least three different times in this episode. (Sometimes to Buffy, but sometimes to Cordelia??? I’m definitely sleeping on that ship.) And I’m just sitting here being like... aw, honey... you really don’t need them... trust me.
Anyhow, we could be sitting here dissecting all that, but I set out with a different goal today, and I’m trying to cut it short, so let’s talk.
Buffy feminism.
At this point anyone in and out of the fandom is familiar with the debate of how Buffy’s - and in turn, Whedon’s - feminism has aged, and that while it had a huge impact on its time and laid the groundwork for today’s popculture scene, we’ve evolved since then.
And I don’t think many would negate a lot of that. The Buffy feminism certainly lacks intersectionality and works with a lot of tropes and archetypes that has its fair share of negative elements and implications. And Whedon’s later work have memorably been taken to court by fandom for such cases.
So the question that I ended up on some time ago was a natural result of that trail of thought.
Was Buffy ever intended to be feminist?
Spoiler alert: the answer is both yes and no. It’s Schroedinger’s feminism.
But first, I want to make it clear that I don’t intend to argue that Buffy isn’t feminist, or didn’t influence our culture massively in that direction. In the 90s, a show with a female lead was still the outlier, and the fact that it gained such a universal following is somewhat mind-blowing. Especially if you consider the grudge our culture holds against teenage girls, even today.
On top of that, Buffy’s character concept goes against the idea of the Strong Female Character (often known as Female Side Character With Some Masculine Traits To Show That She’s Not Like Other Girls Who Can Kind Of Hold Her Own Next To Our Male Lead But He’s Still Better At Things Of Course), by being both immensely powerful and unabashedly teen girly. And then only becoming more complex and memorable as the seasons went on.
Not to mention the fact that the show also had an even ratio of female:male co-stars for most of its run. Meaning that there were plenty of other female characters to develop beside the titular lead, making it a largely female-driven series in general.
As a result of all that, it’s no wonder that Whedon gained a reputation as a staunch feminist - and again, he was a trailblazer when it came to female-led television shows... But I think conflating his ideals with the show’s themes is where we fell into a pitfall.
People complaining about diversity in media often cite ‘agendas’ or ‘pandering’. Which is an immensely simplified (and stupid) way to look at things that is meant to paint going against the norms in a negative way. See, if the creators decide to include characters of different backgrounds because it’s important to them, or because they want to talk about their own experiences, then they have an ‘agenda’. The agenda being using art to talk about things they find important, I guess...
And then there’s this idea that studios / companies / creators just want to please an under-served audience, and profit out of their enthusiasm when they make such media. In contrast to pleasing the audience of the status quo 90% of the time otherwise. I guess.
I’m bringing this all up because the argument that a lot of these people bring up is that representation and diversity is okay if there’s a “reason” for it. Which... yeah, we already covered why I think this line of thinking is so incredibly flawed, but on the other hand... I think Buffy actually satisfies that criteria.
Ideas such as gender roles are baked into show’s concept. Buffy is literally fighting the patriarchy and rape culture (among other things), so it only makes sense that she’s a girl. Meanwhile the character who will end up being gay is the one who struggles the most with their identity. These things are literally building into the bigger picture that the show’s attempting to make.
Now, I will say this though - differentiating and drawing the lines between these things (sincere desire for representation vs. financial strategy vs. exploring themes) is impossible. Everything can be a little bit of each or something else entirely. That’s also why debating intent to undermine representation is such a cheap transparent move.
Nevertheless, I have decided to approach Buffy’s feminism and many of its other themes from the angle of thematic intent. And this episode is a prime example of how the heightened reality of toxic masculinity and its deconstruction look like on the show.
Phases is very unsubtle when stating its thesis. All men are beasts (a reoccurring theme for sure). And for that we have three male characters to examine: Oz, Larry and Cain. (And to a lesser extent Xander and Giles)
Cain is pretty much the least complex of all. He’s a misogynistic douchebag who constantly berates Buffy for “being a girl”, while also hunting essentially human beings for money. He’s completely one-dimensional and irredeemable, and the only thing he’s good for is so Buffy could destroy his gun and tell him to get the hell out of town.
I suppose he’s also there to contrast Giles, but there’s not much there to talk about. Giles respects and supports Buffy, I guess.
Now, Larry and Oz - that’s a more interesting contrast.
Larry was previously introduced as Xander’s bully, but this episode goes above and beyond establishing him as an all around creep. He makes gross comments at all the girls and literally gropes Buffy, and it all culminates in the Scoobies deducting that he must be the werewolf for being so aggressive and douchey.
And then it turns out that... no, he’s just gay. Which, like... the Gay Bully is certainly a trope that’s probably died out at this point, but this does make sense in the context of this episode and the show’s tendency to deconstruct. The idea that performative aggression like Larry’s can actually be a sign of an unresolved conflict with ourselves. And once that’s resolved, we can find a way to live without that facade and be our more authentic self.
Which is an interesting way to contrast him with Oz, as he appears to be the sweetest, chillest guy in the whole Sunnydale area. He literally tucks the tag on Willow’s shirt back like??? Too good for this world.
But then it turns out that he’ll now also become a werewolf 3 days out of a month, a creature of pure instinct and aggression. And given how reserved Oz is in his day-to-day life, that’s an interesting dichotomy. Is that supposed to represent him getting his rage on and finally letting loose of his emotions, or does it suggest a more aggressive inner layer of his character in general?
(Future knowledge mostly points towards the former, but I feel like it’d be interesting to talk about Oz from the latter perspective.)
It’s also an interesting tidbit how the episode mentions that the werewolf could be female, but then continues to refer to them as a ‘he’ anyway. It’s as if the episode is self-aware of its own theme.
...But then we get a lycanthropy- period cycle parallel made in the end anyway, when Willow’s like ‘well, I’m not much fun to be around 3 days-a-month either’. So there’s that.
Then there’s Xander. I’ve recently heard about an alleged quote where Whedon apparently said that they considered writing either Willow or Xander as gay at some point. And that was certainly in my head during Larry’s coming out scene, which makes Xander’s intense no-homo reaction much more layered. He’s essentially Larry in that scenario, aggressively trying to ignore his own inner conflict.
...Which also made me think of another coming out scene on the show and Buffy’s initial, if brief reaction to it.
Tumblr media
Looking at Xander’s character from this angle also puts his obsession with his masculinity into perspective. Although his character arc, especially given the show’s themes about gender roles, remains interesting either way.
Oh yeah, and he’s super jealous about Willow and Oz. We’ll definitely get back to that in S3.
Buffy’s comment about Oz being the loyal type meanwhile is S4 material.
Onwards!
