Nine people you'd like to get to know better
thank you for tagging me bea @23point5degree ♥
tagging in return: @jimmysea @chinzhilla @spicyvampire @thasorns @icouldhyperfixatehim @stormyoceans @mooninagust @celestial-sapphicss @khaotunqs ♥
and now revealing my darkest secrets heh
-
3 ships
based on the fics i've been consuming lately (explains truly where my head is at rn):
Tumblr media
the chocobros ot4 (ignis, prompto, gladiolus, and noctis) from final fantasy xv (you cannot convince me anyone would go to such lengths just for their "bro" even when said bro is royalty and the chosen king to save the world)
Tumblr media
yuu kanda and allen walker from d.gray-man (used to watch this anime around 10 years ago and decided to do it again on a whim. it was as good as i remembered and i had to continue to the manga after finishing it. now am experiencing major brainrot bc like i saw someone comment, for a manga that doesn't aim to be a bl, it surely does make it hard to believe otherwise. i also adore the tragedy of it all)
Tumblr media
chris redfield and leon s. kennedy from resident evil (maybe the most important thing were the ppl we met and could count on during the zombie apocalypse ♥ also damn, these bitches)
First ship
my first ever ship i read fanfics for was dominic x brian from fast & furious. otherwise, my first ever ship came from anime as i was consuming that before i ever touched any bl dramas.
Tumblr media
my true first ship would so be soubi and ritsuka from the 2005 anime adaptation of the manga loveless. a bit questionable choice i admit, but i still collect the manga bc i find the story fascinating and delightfully painful. also, i love the concept of named pairs (soulmatism with a knife) and their ability to fight against each other
Tumblr media
my first ever (thai) bl ship would probably be korn and knock from together with me. there was just something about them back then that made me feel slightly deranged. (with bonus yihwa bc i still think she's one of the best female characters in a bl)
Last song
ดาวหางฮัลเลย์ (halley's comet) by fellow fellow. (sea sung this during his solo stage in last twilight new dawn: live on stage and i've been addicted ever since. i usually listen to this on loop for hours, it's just so nice and vibe-y)
Currently reading
still stuck with midnight sun, for my thesis. otherwise, consuming only fanfics and hoping to get to the little prince soon.
Last movie
the newest resident evil animated movie resident evil: death island (2023). tells you about the depths of that particular brainrot :'D the latest acted movie would probably be the korean movie silenced (2011).
Currently craving
something more solid to eat, especially the pile of snacks i have stored away until i can eat them. got my wisdom tooth removed a couple of days ago and have been mostly eating soup, yogurt, porridge, ice cream, smoothies... anything liquid-y. starting to feel a bit bored but am gonna be free soon

Chapter 31: Abandoned
Sliding down the wall was grating against my back. I fell through the massive opening into the foyer. Landing flat on my ass, my samurai edge fell out of its holster and skated across the floor.
My corrective glasses were nowhere in sight. This was bad if that bastard had planned for this. This wasn't good at all.
"Damn it," I cursed, perturbed.
Albert landed on his feet gracefully. He hurriedly walked over to my gun and handed it back to me. "You need to be more careful, my dear."
Tabitha lightly growled, taking her berretta.
"I'm not a fragile little flower, Albert."
"I know, I just worry that's all" Albert replies, stepping closer to me.
I simply walked away, "You don't have to worry so much. I'm just as strong as you." I notice a B.O.W. and blast its head off with my samurai edge. It was a hunter," Damn it! I seriously can't catch a fucking break, can I?"
"Impressive" Albert smiled at the corpse.
"Eh, not really. I've done better. It was sloppy I should have noticed quicker." I said Holstering my samurai edge.
Walking down the long corridor, my heels against the concrete, I noticed a trip wire. I try and step carefully over only for an explosion to my left, blowing my body down to the floor while covering my ears.
"You still should be careful, dearheart, " Albert said, looking a little disappointed in my attitude.
"STOP telling me to be careful you have no right after Russia not after you fucking nearly killed me." I snapped eyes flaring ice blue.
"I'm just looking out for your well-being, dearheart. I do not want to lose you." Albert explained with a slight growl in his tone.
He was getting upset. At this point, I didn't care. He was treating me like a child not a fully capable gunman. I was fuming.
"I can take care of myself," I said angrily turning to face him my eyes glowing brighter.
"Then why is it every time something happens you end up unconscious or bloody on the floor you are more clumsy than Chris and Vickers combined." Albert snapped back lifting me and tossing me to the side as a chunk of the ceiling fell nearly crushing me.
" I can't help that the angelis virus exhausts my body so easily I just don't eat enough calories and leave my family and the other members of S.T.A.R.S out of this!"I said standing up lurching forward speeding ahead kicking a zombie in the head and sending it into a decrepit wall.
"I'm growing tired of this little squabble, and I am going to bring up the people who abandoned you after the mansion incident. They treated my goddess, like trash and they will be treated like trash. "wesker growled blasting three more b.o.w.s. in the head as his eye began to glow a brilliant red.
"ABANDON ME! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE CAN NOT SAY THAT TO ME. EVEN WITH THE PLANS TO BETRAY
UMBRELLA WE HAD YOU LET ME WATCH YOU DIE!" I shouted avoiding a c4 trap placed along the wall, "AND I AM NO GODDESS WESK! I'M A MONSTER WHOSE SOLE PATH IS SELF-DESTRUCTION!!! AT LEAST CHRIS WAS THERE FOR ME AFTER RUSSIA!!!"
Albert growled picking me up by the collar "Don't you dare mention your bastard brother again he ruined our plans to betray Umbrella and prevented me from saving you on Rockfort Island"
"BUT THEY ARE MY FAMILY ALBERT! THEY ARE THE REASON WE EVEN ARE TOGETHER! YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU LISTENED TO THE AUDIO FILES I GAVE YOU." I kicked wesker making him drop me as I shot three hunters running towards Albert.
"If they were your precious family they wouldn't have abandoned you, more would they" he smirked glaring at me.
"Then what were you to me then a husband that killed his wife and abandoned her not once but twice? Why do Umbrella and the past keep haunting us Albert" Tabitha collapses to her knees her eyes dripping tears.
I stared at Albert and the look on his face was one I wouldn't forget. It looked like for once Albert was at a loss for words. I stood up and turned away from him, my heart aching.
"Lotus, i...I don't." Albert started to speak.
Bang! Multiple gunshots rang out.
Albert stared as blood pooled under me as she winced in pain and fell to one knee.
"turrets this bastard has been planning this for a while. Why do bad things keep happening to us Wesk? Why when things were finally going right are things going wrong?" I choked out spitting up blood.
Albert raced over to my body lifting me bridal style a single tear rolling down his cheek as he sprinted past the turrets, "Umbrella is gone now dearheart and the past has happened but together we are an unstoppable force and once I complete no when we complete Uroboros no one will harm us again my dear."
"How touching two monsters making up." the voice rings out over the comms.
"Just who the hell do think you are?!?"I shouted out and I heard crackling on the comm.
"My name is Axel Markov, former sniper of Dylan Blake's guard and you assholes killed my brother. He was just doing his job. You and that bastard Gale Chambers killed him. I'm finally going to get what I'm fucking owed you bitch." Axel said his voice ringing out from the comms.
"Where are you? You son of a bitch." I coughed jumping out of Wesker's arms completely recovered and getting in a low stance close to the floor.
"You'll have to find me first you evil woman." Axel laughed through the comms.
"I'm far from evil hun. I just do what I got to do." I shout my voice echoing throughout the open area.
Another gunshot rings out across the foyer and Wesker dodges to the side.
The hollow point heavily damaged the concrete it struck. Wesker glares in the direction of the gunshot.
"Come on out little fly this is a spider's den can you not see that," Albert said smirking walking in the direction of where the shots came from, "Ah there you are!"
"Shit!" Axel said realizing he's been spotted, "I must think of a way to distract wesker and Tabitha long enough to move into a new spot, "Come and get me!" He said standing up hands by his side.
"I think I finally recognize this base, Albert. Sergei brought me here in 1982 it's the archives of Umbrella." Tabitha said flicking over towards Axel as he was fully in her sight. Then I saw what he was doing. I tried to recoil but it was too late. He dropped three blue flash grenades. As they burst my eyes were blinded.
"Tabitha!" Wesker shouts as I fall to the floor tears in my eyes hitting my head on the concrete floor.
"Fuck that hurt." I said clutching my Albert helped me up, "damn it, I don't think he's still there".
Albert and I searched the foyer high and low. We found his little nest it was filled with rounds, flash grenades, flares, and even a plasma cutter. That had me concerned most of the items were mentioned to target eyes with light.
"This bastard knows about my light sensitivity." I cursed looking around "Damn it! He got away."
"Your eyes are so sensitive to light. it is quite strange and him knowing it is even stranger." Wesker said staring at the tears around my eyes as a horde of hunter alphas started to circle us.
"I'll be fine. Let's just deal with the situation at hand," I said kicking a hunter in the face.
"As you say my dear lotus," Wesker says shooting a hunter between the eyes then follows it up with a palm strike sending it flying back
"Hunters why did it have to be hunters." Tabitha chided dodging swipes of the hunters' claws, left and right running into Albert. He planted a kiss on my forehead and turned and grimaced.
"I hear something ticking it's most likely another explosive trap meant to trap you. Let us be quick tidy up then take care of our little pest." wesker calmly said while dodging a hunter's strike.
Click click click... he was right there was a ticking in the background. I quickly hit the floor and Albert followed suit. Click click click BANG an explosion rocks the foundation the loud noise was deafening and the hunters ran off only to be taken out by my gunshots to the back of their heads.
"Disgusting creatures let's hurry I need to get back to Gale and Archer," I said dashing ahead after picking myself up.
"Let us hurry then," wesker said chasing behind me," although my love You should not be dashing ahead Tabitha. what if there are more traps designed for you? Let me take point." Wesker said still slightly annoyed from earlier
"Don't worry Wesk," I said slowing down a tad and popping a viral stabilizing pill before fainting, "I know you are wondering why I am so worried about Archer."
"I am rather curious actually. Is he more than an assistant to you?" Wesker asks adjusting his sunglasses
"I saved him from the India facility just after the Los Illuminados incident he was sixteen at the time and couldn't immigrate to the US without an adult sponsor. So I adopted him it was finalized this time last year by a technicality he is my son" I said averting my gaze and feeling Albert's worried look in the back of my head.
"I had a feeling it was something like that. Why have you waited to tell me?" wesker calmly asked "Does Gale know?
I sighed as tears formed in my eyes "Because of what happened with Alistar and our son. I didn't want you to think I replaced them and right now the only people who know are you, me, arjuna, and our UN caseworker." I said shooting the few crimson heads chasing behind wesker nailing each of them in the knee and then the head.
"Are you gonna tell Chambers?" Albert asked while turning and shooting the remaining crimson head.
I stopped for a moment only to draw my wakizashi and start charging the blade with electricity, "No, just you but after what has happened I think I will. I'm so sorry I kept this from you I just was terrified what you would say." I start to dash forward again cutting a licker clean in half arriving at the archive vault.
"We will have to work on our secrets and open up to each other again but I can understand why you hid it my precious lotus." He said turning to face me and kissing my cheek.
"We are here." Wesker and I arrived at the main archive shelves upon shelves of files lined the walkways. The roo. Was three stories and open concept. The shelves were floor-to-ceiling. Three gunshots ring out from the second-floor walkway and blood sprays from Albert's shoulder.
"That was unpleasant," Albert said clutching the fresh wound and lowering himself behind a metal filing cabinet.
"You assholes will pay for what you did to my brother Lea " rings out from my comm choker, "He didn't deserve to die at the hands of a couple of monsters made by Umbrella. Sure we may not have been great people but
I quickly ducked to the floor next to Albert after noticing the laser sight on my chest.
"Wait for a second! Lea and Axel Markov, I remember you two. You were trying to obtain a sample of the g virus from Pheonix Corps. Claiming it was for the Simmons family! You're a part of Blake's guard. Are they working together?! Why weren't you with him that day unlike most of the deals we had?" I shouted asking the question most prevalent on my mind at the moment.
Bang! A shot pierced through the wooden shelves narrowly missing me.
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY HIS NAME YOU SADISTIC BITCH!" The bastard yelled.
"Darling let me handle this. He is clearly after you." Albert said trying to stand up.
I watched as Axel prayed himself against a wall with his kar98 in hand starting to shout “You monsters killed my brother, soon enough I’ll have my revenge against the Phoenix  Corps. and Alex will give me my reward!”
The instant Wesker heard that name an angry expression dawned on his features.
“What did Alex promise you rat?! What is my sister planning?!” he shouted calmly.
I put on a confused look. I knew he had a sister. She was at our wedding and objected. This was on another level though.
" Your sister!?! What would your sister have to do with this? I know she wasn't a fan of mine but why hire someone to take out Pheonix Corps?"I asked propping Wesker against a metal wall and handing him a few green herbs. "Treat that wound I'll find him"
I holstered my Samurai Edge and kept my wakizashi in my hand, "You're not going to succeed in taking me or Pheonix  Corps. down. You will die in vain trying to avenge Lea."
I sprinted over towards the staircase on the left side of the vault. I was quick and low keeping close to the floor. Bang! A shot echoed out.
“He was a good brother, but you and Mr. Gale, the monsters that you are took him away from his family. Took him from me.” he said angrily, "Now I will take you away from yours!”
"As if you could! We are God's and you are just a rat my sister employed for a small sum of money." Wesker said standing up his wound finally healing.
"My family won't fall apart without ME YOU fool Alex is just using you!" I shout out as I roll into a flash-bang blast on the steps, "FUCK! THAT'S IT I WAS GOING TO SHOW MERCY AND LET YOU LIVE BUT I'M TIRED OF MY RETINAS BEING BURNED!
Another stun grenade rolled down the steps revealing his location as I covered my eyes. The light nearly blinded me but my eyes were healing thanks to my mutations. I felt myself slipping into the equinoxal normal as rage filled my heart.
“ I do not care if she is using me. I just want revenge.” Axel says taking a shot at me but missing slightly, the shot grazing my face, “Even if I die tonight, there will be others coming for you!”
"And they will all fall like dominos when they face me. I am the Phoenix of the Phoenix Corps." tears of blood drip down my face as I reach his level nearly blinded but powering forward.
"Even if you die it won't bring back your brother rat and my sister will pay for trying to hurt my lotus and her organization," wesker said heading up to the third floor from the other stairs, "End this my dear lotus.".
I stare at the young man. Axel looks at his kar98 he quickly looks back at me and speaks a cigarette in his mouth, lighter lighting the disgusting vice item. " you know a precious moment I shared with my brother is how we both took turns shooting grandpa's shotgun in our grandparent's backyard. While Grandpa told us stories about the Soviet Union," a tear runs down his eye but he wipes it away.”My brother didn’t need to die the way he did. Then this confrontation could have been avoided. His kid could have grown up with a dad. I wouldn’t have made that deal with that bitch, but fate brings me here. Now I can meet the one responsible for his death and now I’ll put you down like the bitch you are.”
He took a final drag of the cig and threw it onto a stack of papers starting a fire.
"I'm sorry kid, I wish things were different as well. But fate brings us choices and paths we must follow. Most unfortunately for you, my path does not end here. If you want a monster then I  will show you a monster. I just want you to know I wanted to end this peacefully." I said as a black mask appeared on my face and six bloody wings erupted from my back along with tapered claws, silver hair, and black corrosive fangs appear. "This is what your brother faced. I am the Archangel of Umbrella. I pity you. I am sorry kid but this is the end of your line."
I lunged toward Axel and slashed his rifle into pieces. Axel backed up against the wall shivering with fear and shock over the transformation he just witnessed. The fire evilly lit the demon I had become.
“you truly are a monster” he uttered before her fist pierced his chest exploding his heart and lungs.
Rage filled my soul blood was on my lips. Using the hole in his chest, I ripped him in half, smashing his lower half into the wall next to me, grabbing his head and squeezing it like a pimple decapitating then proceeded to bite and rip off the arms the virus decaying the arms and torso into a vile soup.
I felt something grab me. Turning to face the direction it came from. It was Wesk a concerned expression on his face. I had taken it too far. My body mutations crumbled into obsidian. Tears filled my eyes for what felt like the millionth time today. It was well past midnight now.
"Let us go home my love just to the Phoenix Corps base for now," Wesker said lifting me and my bare body bridal style and stomping out the small flames looking at me "Never scare me like that again Tabitha. I was afraid you had fully turned into a bioweapon."
"I won't Albert. I promise. I should have the wolfpack destroy this place and clear it of B.O.Ws. I could make it into a Uroboros lab." I joked coughing.
"No just seal it up with steel and concrete. Let this be a lesson to those who dare try to separate you from me. No one will make me lose my precious lotus again." Albert said walking to the exit lift shaft that I fell through to begin with.
The soft motions made me feel relaxed. I found myself oddly at ease. Dark tendrils clouded my vision. I was about to fall asleep.
"Hey, Wesk?" I chirped quietly.
"What is it dearheart?" He asked looking down at my face a small smile on his lips.
"I love you." I smiled weakly.
"I love you too Tabitha." He kissed my forehead and I fell asleep as we exited.
Hey everyone slifarianhawk here. What a chapter huh? I said it would get good, didn't I? I'm going to be taking it slow these next few chapters. Consulting with my co-writer takes time and I need time for my mental health as well. I had fun writing this chapter with my co-writer. I'm enjoying my writing again and that leads to better content for y'all. Love you all take care. My name is Slifarianhawk and I'm not so far away

Hi Desi! Here is my nice ask for you:
Which show do you think has the best soundtrack? (It could be opening and closing songs or just music used throughout the show)
Have a good day! 💜
Dalawa 🥰 Thank you for letting me talk about one of my favorite things, music in anime!!! Anime has some of the greatest opening, ending and in between songs of all time and I have many favorites! I will include a song or music video for each and I apologize for the length of this ❤️
Puella Magi Madoka Magica - The show that started my and my friends 3 episode rule! You must watch 3 episodes of an anime at least to determine if you want to keep watching or not. The first 2 episodes of this show were cutesy and not too much was actually happening. And then episode 3 came in like a wrecking ball and turned this magical girl show on it's head! It was sooo unassuming and good and the music had a big influence on that too, and magical girl lesbians also helped! This show is the definition of, "I would burn the world for you!" And the main artist of the show, Kalafina, a beautiful Japanese women Gothic singing group, is just icing on the cake!
youtube
Ousama Ranking - Such an unassuming show with the protagonist being a deaf and mute Prince, who has his rightful place as next in the line for the throne stolen from him! I love this show and the characters and music are a big reason why. The second opening of it is still probably my favorite opening song ever!!! Please everyone at least watch this video if you see this post!! 💖
youtube
Yuri on ice - This show was one of my first big obsessions and I am so sad that there are still only 12 episodes and nothing else 😭 An Ice Skating anime that follows a Japanese figure skater as he struggles to get past his self-confidence issues so he can perform on the ice. This show has a fantastic cast of diverse characters and an exceptional soundtrack, as most characters perform 2 different routines and that means they need a song for each of those! I have to post the original opening for this!
youtube
Zombieland Saga - Despite what you might think from the name, this show is about zombies, but they are a group of zombie girls trying to become idols to save their Japanese town! It is such a cute show with many great songs throughout sung by some talented people!! And as you learn more about the characters and how they died, you also learn that it's one of the few animes that features a canonically trans character!! The song I picked is sung by my favorite character, who I totally don't have a crush on.
youtube
And not a show but I would be remiss if I didn't include one of the GOAT Japanese composers, Hiroyuki Sawano! The atmosphere his songs create in so many shows, most famously Attack on Titan, are unbelievable, chilling and other worldly! It's because of him that I started looking more closely at the music of shows and have found many a great artist because of him! Here's one of his newest songs from a fantastic Manwa (Korean Manga) turned anime, Solo Leveling!
youtube

not entirely sure what the fandom's consensus is re: the wall at the end of the books but… there might be need for a watch at the end of the books just like there was a need for a watch when the ww were defeated the first time? the way i see it, the song of ice and fire is cyclical, motives and stories repeat again and again, so the ww might not get defeated-defeated but only banished for another couple thousand years, hence, while the watch might temporarily disband, there'd still be use for a watch (and because now everybody has seen WHY they are there, their reputation would be restored & joining would once again be considered an honourable deed)
(though i do think that jorah joining jon & tormund at the end of the show would've been weird and awkward and straight up confusing because that was jon's "happy" ending as part of a group of people who respect & welcome him (at least in got!verse) and i don't think he exchanged even a single line of dialogue with jorah?)
(Oh, but in the show Jon tried to hand Longclaw back to Jorah, because it's the Mormont ancestral sword, and Jorah gave it back, for Jon and his future children. You know, one of the misdirections to make people believe in boat baby. During that clever wight hunt trip. Because Jon wouldn't hand it to Lyanna Mormont who made him king. Only to the guy who went on the run for selling poachers into slavery. Quality television.)
If the books do go into the direction of a cyclical threat, I would find it vaguely more credible for Jorah to take the black, though the character has never shown an ounce of integrity and would seem like a bad omen for the new start of the Watch. And the Watch already descended into a misguided mess that forgot its purpose the last time around, so why would they just press the Repeat Button?
But I am inclined to believe that the "problem" of the Others, the wonky seasons and access to high level blood magic and the permeable line between life and death is going to be resolved for good. Mostly because I think it's going to (have to) be some kind of metaphor for the same kinds of issues we've already seen explored on a smaller scale. Destructive power as a compensation for pain and grief. It's what the dragons are. It's what almost every villain is motivated by. It's present in historical examples like Garin's Curse. It's part of the story of the Children and the First Men. It's embedded in blood magic.
This has to be the dark origin of the Starks, to me, and this has to be the example where giving up that power is writ large. How else is a little boy like Bran, who's disability he was "compensated" for with immense magical power, tied to exploring the magical history of House Stark, going to be the center of the solution? The solution being a primarily physical struggle between humans and zombies seems to veer right past GRRM's anti war message back to the idea of righteous mass violence. So the climactic solution needs to be ideological and personal - and thematically meaningful.
Another temporary solution prone to erosion and confusion over time (like the Wall and the Watch) seems downright pointless to me in that specific context. You don't need the Wall and the Watch to keep the problem of human error around. Removing them does drag it down to earth for good. There will always be the danger of the war, but in-universe it would exist in the shadow of an example of negotiation and mutual concessions saving the world from apocalypse. (Like the Pact between Children and First Men, but larger.)
That's just my reading of the concept though.

Absolutely love how at the core of the Coromar-Seelies'... everything is the fact that Loquatius's love language is loud and obvious and tangible and showy ('hello yes I'm going to use this apocalypse warning message as a metaphor for our marriage! Also I would like every citizen in two cities to know she is the most beautiful woman alive. I am speaking to a civilisation but also only to her. Time for a mid-battle proposal!'
And Laerryn's love language is very clearly 'we will sit quietly and read separate books in the same room. This is the most ferociously intimate experience of my life.'

I absolutely love how TLOVM is going out of its way to show that Keyleth’s  emotions are what make her powerful.
Throughput C1, Keyleth feels everything at 110%. Her righteous fury - toward the world for being the harsh place it is, toward Raishan - burns with the fire of a sun. She grieves deeply and achingly and angrily. She loves her friends with everything she has - is afraid to love Vax because she knows just how hard she’ll love him if she lets herself, what it could do to her. She doubts herself because she cares so much all the time. She cares about doing the right thing and is terrified of getting it wrong; she cares about being the leader the Ashari deserve; cares about meeting her own sky-high expectations of herself.
And after all the idiots back when C1 was airing complaining about Marisha making “““suboptimal””” choices to roleplay Keyleth’s emotions, after the dumb fucking complaints about her being ‘overemotional’ or ‘illogical’ or whatever... here’s TLOVM, where Keyleth is at her strongest when she lets herself feel everything.
A demon wolf threatens Vax, and she punches it away, fangs bared, full of protective rage. Terror for her friends, love for her friends, leads her to clutch-cast shields of thorns to save them from Brimsycthe, from the Briarwoods. She sees a rebel friend cut down and the camera zooms in on the grief in her eyes, followed by utter rage as she transforms into Minxie for the first time. She Skywrites the Whitestone crest with hope and delight in her eyes. She holds back an undead tide with a wall of ice, screaming and yelling.
And I’m just. So happy! I’m so happy that the show is letting Keyleth rage and shout when she’s angry, and be scared when she’s overwhelmed! I love that they’re illustrating how her deep sensitivity is the curse that makes her insecure... and the blessing that makes her care so fiercely that her spells can tie down a dragon, hold back a zombie horde.
This is the woman whose righteous anger will drive her to be a protector, whose ferocious caring will lead her to be the best possible leader of her people. TLOVM lets her scream and yell and be messy and full of feeling - and shows that even as it’s hard for her, even as she struggles to process her feelings, and even when her feelings lead her to clash with her friends, they are what makes her strong.
I love her so much. Just so, so much.

My favourite Critical Role verbal flubs:
‘Why a - why is you so mean to me???’
‘Snea snake’
‘Their brand new 5e setting, Aeorar. ... Ayroawra. Auroara.’
‘Let’s make ourselves a bit more suspicious.’
‘Wildmother, please watch over the cast - the crew!’
‘Looks like I ganked your new Robbie - your new friend’s body!’
‘Shiver and quiff’

My ideal way for Essek to be in the M9 reunion twoshot is for the Dynasty to have just found out about his crimes, and for the Nein to have invited him to come stay with them on the Nein Heroez for a little while. ‘You’ll be safe here for a while,’ Caleb tells the anxious wreck of a drow who’s just dropped five duffle bags full of books onto the deck of the ship. ‘We were all planning to take a little voyage together anyway. You can get some peace, have some time to think, be with your friends. No Dynasty, no Empire, no eye-covered monstrosities...’
And a fifty-foot leviathan covered in eyeballs erupts from the water, screeching.
Essek isn’t even surprised anymore.

I'm taking a class right now that theoretically should be teaching me how to use the program, but the teacher moves really really fast and doesn't do demos with people, they just kind of show it to us once and expect us to understand everything. I'm so lost, just frantically trying to finish my final:/ currently reading: I'm not currently reading anything :/// being in school really takes it out of me. But! the last thing I read was Parable of the Sower, I definitely recommend it but I will say it deals with some heavy topics and was really hard to get through at certain points current obsession: The same thing it's been for a long time….the music those jersey kids make (all of them), but also Ragnar Kjartansson and video synthesizers;)

i am asking you about your ocs. what was your fav arc are any of them nonhuman and finally do any of them have autism swag
OK. so, first, you have to understand the basics. there's a zombie virus that's spread in the water. there's a vaccine, made by a 20 year old pharmaceutical sciences major, orville, and his roommate, qbd. they're trying to get it to the capital to save everyone and they come across a 12 year old boy named rick. that's the important part.
my favorite arc is the fear one. the one after qbd is exposed to the virus and they're driving through the desert, not knowing whether the vaccine will hold up, or if qbd will snap and kill them.
none of them are conventionally inhuman, unless you count qbd's half zombie state
and last but far from least: every single one of them has autism swag in different directions. orville is obsessed with being a hero because he doesn't know how to talk to people or relate with them so he views them all as characters. qbd is incapable of maintaining eye contact and does not understand small talk. and the only reason rick survived so long on his own was because he only drinks lipton iced tea with lemon

yo yo this is my first post on the hellsite. so hello hi, my name is Steve (you can call me Steven tho), I am 18 (bodily 17), my pronouns are he/him (I’d prefer you just use my name, sometimes I just don’t feel like pronounce), I am arospec and homosexual with an exclusive attraction to men — based on their gender ofc, don’t care abt your down there — and enbies who are man-aligned or whatever. i don’t feel too much romantic fluff and am not into it, but i’m still positive about romance overall.
here are some of my stances, takes, some stuff abt me in general idk, to help you out in (not) interacting with this blog muahaha:
gays should have the exact amount of rights as straights, but preferably we should be liberated from shitty heternormative society
i hate cancel culture, but i love people being taken accountable. don’t police others for liking a “problematic” person, just point out if they’re a dick sucker.
i hate terminally online shit so much pls don’t bring your terminally online bullshit on this blog. YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR BLOCKED.
people whose sexual action is being into children or into animals shouldn’t be here. you all make me throw up.
don’t come here if you unironically say “slayyyy” or “you ate 🤪” or any other white queer appropriation of AAVE every 5 seconds. you can say “slay” or any other AAVE phrase, but if your skin looks like milk and not like espresso coffee, then you’re on thin ice.
people who are like “umm bi lesbeans aren’t real 🥺🥺🥺” who gives a shit who gives a shit WHO GIVES A SHIT??? don’t come here if you’re like that.
people who are against the ocean turian/uranian flag (don’t care + didn’t ask + white + L + ratio) shouldn’t come here at all. i could give less of a fuck. uranians be damned, THE FACT WE HAVE FLAGS OF OUR OWN IS ENOUGH. SHUT UP ALREADY AND ADMIT THAT ENBIES CAN LIKE BLUE TOO, WHY DO YOU GENDER COLORS? or “nooo they stole it from lesbans 🥺🥺🥺” WHO GIVES A FUCK ?????!!!!??? ITS FINE TO TAKE INSPIRATION Y’ALL + THE POINT IS THAT THEY MATCH YOU BITCHES
i am, generally speaking, a leftist. I appreciate this whole idea of workers owning the means of production but not only. I also appreciate this one thing, it begins with an A, arachnids or something, idk. oh, anarchy!! that one!!! yeah, if you’re a hardcore ML, maybe this isn’t the place for you.
I am Christian so please don’t disrespect my religion. I am not practicing but I still believe in my Lord Jesus Christ, for only He can save me from this hellhole. i think he’s fine with homosexuals too, the Bible generally condemned pederasty (the totally not MAP act of older men having sex with younger twinks during the Ancient era, which ofc is a stupid as fuck practice!!!), NOT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS HOLY FUCK !!!! Plus if y’all don’t allow us to marry, am I supposed to forever not fuck a man?!?? (no sex before marriage y’all!!)
if you’re younger than, idk, the age of consent in most European countries, you shouldn’t be on this blog. I may post some… slightly NSFW stuff from time to time. (NOT an NSFW blog tho!!!!)
anyone who says “fiction doesn’t affect reality 🤓” or “fiction doesn’t affect reality 1:1 🤓” is a mindless zombie who can’t be critical of what they consume and tolerate the fucked up portrayal of… MAP behavior, of Catholic priest behavior, ya know, in a “haha this is good quirky soooo romantic woowww 🤪🤪🤪” way, and you shouldn’t even look at me in the eyes. yes, you know yourselves.
I LOVE MUSCULAR MEN!!!! I LOVE JACKED UP MEN WHO ARE MASCULINE JUST LIKE I AM!!!! I LOVE MEN WHOSE MUSCLES ARE HUGE!!!! I LOVE FIT MEN!!!! MEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
I love a bit of footy, a bit of pop music (ya know, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, that shit slaps and is not for effeminate twinks or white valley girls only), I love Kumalala especially, I uhh love linguistics, I love many things… except for love itself 😌.
Anyhow ahoy, i hope y’all will… tolerate me i guess. host calls me “problematic” and has beef with me, tell @anarchobasil they’re wrong whenever they shit talk abt me pls. When I say “probelmatic” stuff I am ironic 99.9% of the time. I am a very huge ally for everyone, don’t care. and uhhh that’s it????

BnHA 326: What’s up Kids, It’s Me, Your Old Pal Stain
Previously on BnHA: Ochako shamed the U.A. Clown Mob into letting Deku go back inside his own fucking school by giving them an hour-long speech about how not to be humongous dickheads. Kouta and Gigantic Fox Lady saved the manga by being the only ones brave enough to give Deku a hug. Shouto was all “man, all this togetherness sure does remind me of that promise you made that we would handle Touya together which you immediately bailed on, doesn’t it, Dad.” Aizawa was all, “for the one and a half people out there who thought that my losing an eye and a leg might actually make me less sexy, I’m very happy to prove you wrong.” All Might was all, “[standing outside the U.A. fortress alone in the rain talking to someone or something??].” Like seriously, what was up with that though.
Today on BnHA: All Might is all “here I am in Kamino having a belated mid-life crisis because Deku abandoned me and I’m a terrible mentor and everything sucks and I hate myself.” Stain is all, “don’t make me come over there and give you a ten page speech about why you’re still the goat while menacingly holding you at swordpoint the entire time” because idk if you knew this guys, but Stain is pretty crazy actually. Anyway so he does that, and then All Might gets all emotional, and then the lady from chapter 92 shows up and gives All Might’s statue an encouraging pep talk, and then Horikoshi is all “and it even stopped raining lol can you believe this shit I’m not even a little bit subtle,” and he really isn’t. But I still got emotional anyway, because seeing people reassure All Might that everything he’s struggled for his entire life hasn’t been in vain just got to me okay. Horikoshi knows I am weak to the All Might feels and he just goes for the jugular every time, that bastard.
lmao. “in the neverending downpour, All Might is...” yeah, thank you, glad we’re getting right to that then
“All Might is driving 95 mph in his busted ass car in the pouring rain, is what he’s doing.” huh
so basically a day or two after his adopted child refused to accept the handmade bento that he packed with love, my man is out here acting like he’s got nothing to live for anymore. this sure bodes well for certain prophecies on which the clock is still ominously ticking down
Tumblr media
his fucking face though omg. is it weird that I’m kind of hoping more people ambush him just because I think it’d be funny to see them get their asses kicked like the last bunch
(ETA: or maybe he will just stand there openly not giving a fuck and basically daring them to stab him!! get it together please All Might.)
side note, “anti-hero supporters” is such a strange way of saying “people who hate heroes”, which I’m assuming is what they actually wanted to say?? this makes it sound like it’s a group that really loves antiheroes. “these Hannibal stans have been a real menace lately. time to go deal with them”
ha ha ha, fucking ouch
Tumblr media
are you really gonna do it Horikoshi you bastard. are you really going to let that be the final encounter between the two characters whose relationship you once described as the vertical axis of the entire fucking story. are you really gonna?? huh??
huh
Tumblr media
you’re telling me you were driving 112 mph and you still didn’t get there in time. you’re losing your touch old man. lol Todo’s ice is almost fully melted already, how late were you
(ETA: so apparently this is taking place after the end of chapter 325, meaning he went to U.A., hung out for a bit, saw the kids come back with his bedraggled half-dead protégé in tow, watched as they shamed the civilians into some long-overdue character development, and then was all “welp, time to go argue with the hero-hating faction or something because I’m feeling useless.” and Edge just let him go, just like that. though to be fair I have to imagine it’s pretty hard to say no to All Fucking Might.)
also belated lol at the fact that the kids were all “yeahhhhhhh we are definitely not gonna touch that thing, let’s just leave it here, he doesn’t need it anyway.” probably the right call to make since they couldn’t get a hazmat team on such short notice
fuck. ha ha ha fucking ouch part two
Tumblr media
All Might please put that thing down before you get gangrene. also yeah, you dropped the ball, good for you to acknowledge it. nobody’s perfect and you did your best. but yeah you could have handled a lot of things completely differently. but I still love you
is Horikoshi really putting this flashback here. are you serious. what kind of fucking sadist
Tumblr media
look, I swear I’m not one of those people that runs up and down the street shouting “DEATH FLAG!!” at every third panel lol. but this shit screamed Death Flag when we originally got it, and it’s screaming DEATH FLAG!!! even more now. like with the capital letters and exclamation marks and all. and that’s just a fact. I don’t like it but that’s how it is
ffkdjslk
Tumblr media
“DID YOU READ THE SIGN??!” Horikoshi asks while zooming in maniacally because he thinks we’re blind or something. lol what
-- though actually, it only just occurred to me that this sign is actually written in English. I never really paid attention up until now and had been assuming it was written in Japanese and translated by the scanlators, but the writing here is clearly part of the original image. anyway so maybe that’s why he’s zooming in?? just to make sure everybody pays attention lol
okay fuck this
Tumblr media
see, this is the whole problem right here. once again All Might is all on his own. Deku’s self-destructive angst spiral was fortunately brought to a grinding halt because he actually has support from his friends and family and teachers and classmates. but All Might never had that same kind of support, and it’s made all the difference between the two of them, and not in a good way. Katsuki wasn’t wrong when he said All Might and Deku were both cut from the same cloth. but now when it’s All Might’s turn to go all “I WALK A LONELY ROAD~~” once again, there’s nobody in sight
just, after forty plus years of him carrying this torch, I just wish someone would finally come along to let him know he doesn’t have to. all those things that he wanted to say to Deku are also things that he needs and deserves to hear himself. Aizawa was making a little progress there, but now he’s got his sad zombie cloud boyfriend situation to deal with, and we can’t expect him and his perfect hair to solve all our problems. someone else has gotta step up
oh my god
Tumblr media
“you rang?” never mind I take it all back sob
omg why am I laughing. shit
Tumblr media
this man truly has the best PR game in the series. we were truly convinced he was gonna suddenly become a good guy and defend All Might against the other villains or some nonsense. as if this wasn’t the same man who decided on a whim that Iida Tensei deserved to be paralyzed, and that his fifteen-year-old brother deserved to die for daring to be upset about it
lol even All Might is all “I genuinely never saw this coming” lmao
Tumblr media
just want to say, for the record, I have always harbored a very sensible hatred toward Stain. feeling very vindicated right now. good job Past Me
adsfklwkfsdwgkj
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ffffwefjslkg. ghsdlkg. dsfkkkslkjldwkjrg
STAIN: heard you talking shit old man
ME: smh that’s what I thought you’d say you dumb fucking Stain
STAIN: how dare you talk about All Might that way
ME: gljfljgk
(ETA: in hindsight I have no idea how I didn’t clue in sooner that he didn’t recognize him -- or, well, ~didn’t recognize~ him, to be more accurate lol. I think it was the whole “is that a slight against the heroes?” thing that threw me. Viz’s translation makes it much clearer that he’s offended on behalf of All Might specifically, not heroes in general. anyways.)
sob. so All Might is all “yeah I don’t blame you for not recognizing me in this sweet leather jacket”
good thing he still knows how to do this party trick
Tumblr media
A+ reflexes on Stain’s part presumably pulling the sword back a few inches to keep this dumbass from impaling himself with his whole pufferfish routine. can you imagine if that was the gruesome death Nighteye foresaw. and he was just too embarrassed to say anything
lol anyways guess I was wrong about Stain everyone
Tumblr media
way to fucking go, Past Me. you really biffed this one
oh wait
Tumblr media
Stain sure is one wacky rollercoaster ride
oh fuck me lol I forgot how much I did not miss this
Tumblr media
(ETA: “this here is the sacred ground where All Might gave up the last of his power and turned into a shriveled old man!! please ignore the part where I admit to knowing all about that, and yet pretend not to recognize said man when he’s standing two feet in front of me.”)
Past Me, I know we’ve had our ups and downs these past ninety seconds, but I’m really starting to think you were on to something. this dude has always been kind of insufferable. always acting like his high horse is a fucking giraffe when it’s actually a Shetland pony
dammit now he’s got All Might going off on a depressed monologue
Tumblr media
oh my god my heart
Tumblr media
shit
why the fuck does that hit so hard. he became a hero because he couldn’t bear to just sit back and let bad things happen to people who didn’t deserve it. I mean that’s basically the same as every hero ever, right? so why does it still hit so fucking hard every single time though. what is it about seeing someone so determined to stand up for other people and fight on their behalf. it just never loses its impact no matter how many times I see that determination mirrored in so many of my favorite characters
“I wanted to make the world a better place.” omg. but you did, though. like seriously, I feel like people are always dogging on him for not being 100% perfect, and fandom really doesn’t give him enough credit for everything he still managed to accomplish. this man came of age at a time when Japan was by all accounts a total shitshow, and singlehandedly managed to bring about an era of peace that lasted for four fucking decades. can you imagine having peace for that long?? that’s longer than I’ve been alive. shit
and he gave people hope. he inspired them and protected them and made them feel safe. and no, he couldn’t save everyone, because he’s only one fucking dude (and also because the whole time AFO was also out there desperately working to undermine him so that he could keep preaching his narrative of “heroes are bad actually”). but you know what he did do, is inspire multiple new generations of heroes who, if they can all manage to work together, will finally be able to accomplish everything he never could
so yeah. forty years of peace, and inspired the “that’s how we all became the greatest heroes” generation -- that’s a fucking win in my book. talk about having a net positive impact on the world. lol anyways now I’m all fired up and ready to fight anyone who tries to talk any shit about you, All Might
“but what if I talk shit about myself” okay listen up All Might I’m gonna need you to try just a little bit harder to work with me here okay. please calm down and stop blaming yourself for every single bad thing that’s ever happened in the world. do you remember that time Bakugou was blaming himself for Kamino, and you gave him a hug and told him it wasn’t his fault, and that he was only a boy, and that even though he was strong, even strong people can struggle with the burdens they place on themselves, and that you were sorry for not seeing that earlier? do you remember all of that? that’s what I want someone to tell you too, dammit. anyway please stop breaking my heart please and thanks
wtf
Tumblr media
are you dead All Might
um
Tumblr media
I don’t even have the slightest idea what’s happening lol
oh snap did he grab him so they could hide??
Tumblr media
hold the fucking phone. don’t tell me this person in the background with the umbrella is here to actually do something decent??
oh my godddd
Tumblr media
and here come the feels. oh boy. okay don’t mind me, I’m just gonna sit here sobbing over this fictional lady and her simple act of kindness in this weekly shounen manga that I care about way too much
FUCKING DAMMIT AND HERE’S A SECOND HELPING
Tumblr media
DON’T MIND ME, I’M JUST GETTING DISPROPORTIONATELY EMOTIONAL OVER THIS WOMAN’S DETERMINATION TO HONOR A MAN WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING TO SAVE HER AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. I’M JUST HAVING SOME FEELS OVER HERE ABOUT HER HEARTFELT, DOESN’T-EVEN-KNOW-ANYONE-ELSE-IS-WATCHING FEELINGS OF GRATITUDE THAT COMPELLED HER TO COME OUT HERE AND MAKE THIS SMALL BUT POWERFUL GESTURE. I’M JUST OUT HERE GETTING ALL PROFOUNDLY WORKED UP ABOUT STATUE MAINTENANCE AND THE HUMAN RACE. NEVER MIND. JUST IGNORE ME AND CARRY ON
holy shit. I was not even remotely prepared. you can’t just do that to me. you can’t just leave all these death flags on my lawn and then suddenly shift gears to show me the best of humanity in a chapter where I was expecting the worst. that fucks a person up lol
OH ARE WE STILL GOING
Tumblr media
my heart. you see that, All Might. your legacy is so much more powerful and meaningful than you think
...has. has Stain actually been giving All Might a pep talk this entire time
Tumblr media
I give up lol. this dude is a fucking enigma
YAYYY
Tumblr media
it may just be a metaphor panel, but I’ll take it lol. I missed them. nice to see the traffic light trio front and off-center. I know the whole “this is the story of how we all became the greatest heroes” thing had left some questioning whether certain characters would continue to play a central role in the narrative, and hopefully this will help to ease those concerns just a bit
anyway, so idk if it’s getting a bit chilly down there in hell, but damned if Stain didn’t just give an actual decent fucking speech
Tumblr media
I have to say, earlier when I was whining about All Might not having a support squad, I really was not expecting Stain to be the one to come over and pat his head and reassure him that he made the world a better place
-- okay LISTEN
Tumblr media
YOU CAN’T JUST COME INTO MY HOUSE AND HIT ME WITH THOSE ALL MIGHT TEARS AGAIN GODDAMMIT THIS ISN’T FAIR. my god. first 317 and now this
holy fucking shit
Tumblr media
“I’m just gonna pretend like I haven’t been stalking him for two days and didn’t see the entire Deku bentogate thing go down, and then I’ll give him the whole big speech that I rehearsed, and then I’ll turn around and be all ‘BUT IF YOU’RE A TRUE HERO’, and then I’ll toss him the super-secret AFO wifi password that I stole from Tartarus. god I’m such a badass. fucking give myself chills”
so basically what you’re telling me is that this whole time my “what’s up kids” characterization of Stain from this shitpost has actually been 100% accurate. just want to make sure I’m understanding this right. okay then
“and then I’ll dramatically spin around and be all NOW COME KILL ME BITCH”
Tumblr media
it must be so much fun to write Stain. drawing this coked-out maniac who talks like a chatbot that was trained to speak by reading Alan Moore monologues. that must be a trip
anyway so All Might is still crying, the awesome lady from chapter 92 is admiring her handiwork totally oblivious to the batshit insanity going on fifty meters to her right, and it’s finally stopped raining lol
Tumblr media
“THE RAIN WAS A METAPHOR YOU SEE” yes, yes, we got it lol. thanks for that Horikoshi. don’t think we needed any help putting the pieces together on that one but I appreciate the effort
so that’s the end! and as I mentioned in another post, I had the count off by one chapter, but next week should be cliffhanger week! so break out your U.A. Traitor bingo cards, friends and fiends. either that or something else happens that I’m completely not expecting at all. which, based on my success rate with Stain predictions, I’d say is more than likely lol
mmm but anyway, so now that the Hug Deku 2021 campaign has finally come to an end, what’s it gonna take to get a hug for my struggling bento-preparing jacket-rocking world-weary death-flag-waving husband who is the worthiest man to ever live and deserves the fucking world, goddammit

Please more deadman from the 90s x reader! Show that zombie how to kiss!
You want zombie smoochies? WE SHALL HAVE ZOMBIE SMOOCHES!! (Also, I am so sorry Anon that it's taken this long for me to answer you) <3
You really needed to stop lingering at Gorilla. The stories were somewhat right about the dangerous consequences. Not from who you expected either. You had become too enraptured with the audience’s cheers and the view on the small monitor to notice when Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts snuck up silently on you. His left hand held tightly onto a folded chair. Just as he lifted high above his head, the Undertaker grabbed it from behind and prevented the impromptu attack. He saved you. Nobody could work out why. Why had the Grim Reaper spared you agony?
Whatever the reason, you had been rescued and you needed to thank your knight in shining armour. Or, in this case, your knight in a black trench coat.
You stood outside of the Undertaker's locker room door for a few moments, debating whether this was a good idea. Nobody who dared entered there came out unscathed. If they came out at all. However, you couldn’t let such an uncharacteristic act go unrecognised. It was only right that you thanked him. Before you could talk yourself out of it, you knocked on the door then pushed it open to peek into the shadowy room. It was too dark to see anything other than the general outline of benches and duffel bags. Even the Undertaker’s constant companion - Paul Bearer - was nowhere to be seen, but you were sure that he was hiding around some corner. He was never far. It took a second for your eyes to adjust to the lack of light and your breath caught in the back of your throat as a pair of dull green eyes stared at you through the dark.
“Hello… I’m sorry for barging in like this. I just wa-wanted to know if you had a second to talk.”
No answer. The Undertaker - still dressed in his ring gear - stood rigid as if awaiting orders from someone. Your first encounter with the man from Death Valley had piqued your curiosity enough that you wanted to know more about him. You wanted to experience more of him. Fear being pushed aside for a second, you walked further into the room. The Undertaker moved from the darkest shadows and copied you. A few heavy footsteps bringing both of you into the centre of the locker room. He, now, stood a fraction too close to be deemed polite with anybody else. His presence brought a crispness to the air like the first cool rain to quench a summer heat. People would call you a ‘moth to a flame.’ They were sure that your destiny was to burn at the hand of the Deadman.
“I-I just wanted to come and thank you properly for earlier. You didn't have to do that.”
Your voice shook, betraying how scared of this man you were at your core. Despite that, you stretch up to press a kiss to the Undertaker's cheek. His skin is ice under your lips. A sign that he really was dead, but somehow, upright and walking like a normal man. As you pull away, the Undertaker’s eyes stay fixed upon your face and you find yourself lingering again. Just for a second. One of your hands rests tentatively on his cheek before dropping away when you pull yourself back. Before you have any time to react, the Undertaker has your wrist in his tight grip and the false feeling of safety comes crashing down around you. The bubble has popped. His expression is unreadable as you hold your breath and wait for his next move.
'Please don’t hurt me.'
Slowly - too slowly - the Undertaker brings your hand back to his cheek and holds it there. Did… Did he like the warmth of your hand on his cheek? Just as you had been drawn to him, it seemed that the Undertaker was beginning to show, at least, a interest in you. The being in front of you couldn’t have always been this way. Maybe the Undertaker was an ordinary man at some point before something unspeakable happened and changed him. An ordinary man who sought after the comfort of others and relished in the gentle touch of a woman.
For the rest of time, you wouldn't be able to explain the reasoning behind your next actions. It felt right in the shadows of the Undertaker's locker room. You inched forward again. Only this time, your mouth finds his top lip instead of his cheek. They're just as cold as the rest of him. Just as lifeless.
With your eyes closed, you can't see how the Undertaker's eyes widen or the long fingers on his free hand twitch and flex. What was he supposed to do? This - being kissed - hadn't happened to him in lifetimes. Far-distant memories of an adolescence spent like any other does nothing to guide him. They're too buried. You must have the ability to read his mind as you slowly reach for his other hand and bring it up to rest on your cheek, mirroring your own. The touch is soft, gentle in guiding him instead of violent and laced with hatred.
A second feels like an hour. You stood for too long with your lips against the Undertaker's in hope of seeing a glimmer of life from the Deadman. There was nothing. You're about to give up and fall back into your embarrassment when you feel it. His lips lightly pressing back against yours.

Chrollo, Hisoka, and Illumi Headcanons
Chrollo, Hisoka, Illumi, and Leorio headcanons
Tumblr media
Hello, anon! I am so sorry for taking longer than usual to respond to this post. I have been so busy with A LOT lately but I have time now! I don’t know if you want N/SFW, romantic or non so I’ll go based on what comes to mind! I know many Tumblr users have made these types of assumptions for them a lot but I wanted to join in. I started writing this last night so forgive me if there are any unbearable grammar errors. I hope you like it anon, I tried my best. I have to work on my headcanons for them because I try to keep them in character. Since we don’t have much background info on ⅔, I have to keep it as realistic as possible. FYI N/SFW content is mentioned.
Discord for Voltron and HxH fans
Let’s start with Chrollo.
Chrollo (SFW)
I’ve seen on here that a lot of you headcanon Chrollo to be an understanding man when it comes to feelings for his significant other. Given his soft voice and calm demeanor, I’m sure that is somewhat true.
It seems like Chrollo isn’t on board with over-the-top PDA meaning he would agree to hand-holding and his arm around you but nothing more. He saves the...other stuff for when you two are alone. Because of Chrollo’s past, it seems like he wouldn’t want to be seen in public that much because that can cause him to get caught by the authorities.
He takes your safety very seriously. You understand that when he is with the Phantom Troupe that you are not to interrupt until the business is over. He doesn’t allow you to get involved with the missions because of how dangerous they can be (example: the auction). He knows you can handle it, he prefers for you not to be involved. Feelings and work can make things difficult.
Although Chrollo hides in the shadows, I imagine he lives in a penthouse with expensive furniture, white and black color pattern, and large windows that have an astonishing view of Yorknew.
After you both have worked long and hard, you open the door just to see the lights dimmed so dark that it matches the night atmosphere. There are rose petals leading to the bathroom where a bubble bath is waiting. As you enter the bathroom, your boyfriend is waiting there, submerged in bubbles sticking his arms out. Candles light up the tiny room casting a romantic shadow from your body. You grab his hand and gently sit in the tub. The warm water felt amazing; it helped your aching muscles (from exercising) feel better. Chrollo gently grabbed your arm and pulled you into a warm, loving embrace. He wrapped his toned arms around your body and rested his chin on your shoulder. He didn’t say a word but instead breathed heavily, kissed your shoulder, and leaned back against the wall. On days like this, he didn’t say much but his actions spoke louder than words.
Chrollo NSFW
I think Chrollo is a passionate lover. This assumption comes from his calm demeanor. He seems to be incredibly patient so if you aren’t positioning yourself the right way or something, he’ll work with you to make sure you get it and you are comfortable.
He is touchy. That means during the nitty-gritty, he likes to touch your face, chin, lips, and your torso as a way to show more affection.
When he is in the mood, he moves slowly then very fast. He cannot resist the urges and feelings he has for you.
He loves to do this while the drapes are open although you have expressed that you like your privacy. It’s ironic. He doesn’t like extreme PDA but is ok with sleeping with you while the lights from the city shine near your penthouse window. Ah, guys are confusing.
After the climax, he lays flat on the bed and pulls you close. He leaves about an inch in between because heat is still radiating off your bodies and it’s summertime.
Tumblr media
Hisoka (SFW) If his significant other was shy.
People have mixed feelings about Hisoka, feelings, and whether or not if he is gentle or not. I don’t think that Hisoka is gentle but begins to lay off the harsh jokes or pranks as he sees that you both have fought before and you’re not as weak as he thought.
Unlike Chrollo, he is all for PDA. This ranges from hand holding to playful kisses to passionate kisses. When I saw Hisoka for the first time, I immediately thought he was a fuck boy. A fuck boy is a boy that is only interested in sleeping with someone and doesn’t intend on pursuing a relationship.
He’d take the pleasure of appreciating your presence as well as testing your patience. If you are shy and are easily flustered, he will change that. He’ll do things like kissing you, calling you affectionate names, or anything that will cause you to respond. You hit him jokingly. Still not getting the message, he continues and you hit him harder. This is where he releases a medium moan which causes everyone to look in your direction. You freeze; face flushed and he’s laughing his ass off.
“What’s the matter,” he asks, covering his mouth. “You look flushed~♥.”
“You’re doing too much. Stop playing around! People are staring~💯.” You cover the side of your face. True enough you were a little mortified but in a good way. You knew he did this because he liked you but sometimes he played too much.
This is when he pulls you closer to his face, your ear next to his mouth, and whispers something in your ear that sent chills down your spine that made you blush more than before. He nearly puckered his lips as he spoke. He took his index finger and thumb to caress your cheek.
“Raising your voice at me? That simply won’t do. Aren’t you aware of the consequences~♥?”
You knew better than to not say anything because he would cup your cheeks and pull you into a deep kiss, and wouldn’t let go until he was sure that everyone was looking.
Both of you enjoy red, white, and rose wine. To him, wine equals classiness and sophistication. After fighting each other for hours (which he considers training for you and exercise for him) drinking wine and watching Lifetime (television for idiots) is a great way to end the night.
NSFW
As stated above, I originally thought that Hisoka was a fuck boy, so I am going to roll with that thought. This man has the potential of being rough and if he is too rough this is the time where you can speak up and say so. He’ll listen to you. Similar to Chrollo, he can be very romantic if he wants to. The rose petals gimmick was played out.
Instead, he hides in the darkest part of the living room waiting for you.
You turn on the lights and immediately head to the kitchen to drink a bottle of ice-cold water. Summer nights in Yorknew were hot and humid, almost unbearable. It felt like you were being suffocated. Becoming impatient, Hisoka clears his throat loudly causing you to nearly jump out of your skin; choking on the water you were drinking. He released a sexy chuckle. When you turned around, there stood your chiseled buff boyfriend bare with a ribbon tied in various directions around his body. Your birthday was two days ago and he was your gift. Although you have seen him like this before, for some reason you were too flustered to make a move. He already knew that you were tired from work, so he carried you in his arms to the Exercise Room and laid you gently on the floor. You smiled as a rush or passion took over your body resulting in you tearing off the ribbon tightly wrapped around his body. Since this was your birthday gift, he made it a night you’d remember forever! Surprisingly, no roughhousing, just soft and gentle. This proves that Hisoka has the capability of being humane. His strokes were to your liking and the gazes that you both exchanged were mind-blowing. Why couldn’t he be this way all the time? After it all, you fell asleep at her quickly. You were on the floor but now on top of your king-sized bed, with the message control on high. He stayed awake, watching TV, and thought about how he was going to pick a fight with you at the crack of dawn.
Hisoka’s ability to flirt and send the intended person swooning is a talent of itself. Lots of people do not possess this talent. Sometimes it's intentional and sometimes it's not. He speaks softly and smoothly, are he has to do is ask and it shall be done.
Tumblr media
Illumi SFW
Illumi gives the impression that he is a “quiet” freak. This means that true enough he is focused on his job but if the moment comes along he will give in. He isn’t into PDA at all and if he does feel like showing some affection it will be done in private. Even though he appears to be a zombie, laying on or even cuddling with his significant other will help him relax for once. Imagine having to complete many missions in a day, exhausted, and have a wonderful person waiting to act as a human pillow for your weary head. Even Illumi can’t resist that.
If he likes you and plans to marry you, he will make that known to everyone to avoid confusion. Illumi represents the stereotypical shy boy; he is anti-social, prefers to only be around people he knows and trusts, and carries out the duties of his job.
After everything has been completed for the day, he wouldn’t mind ( and secretly begs) for silent cuddles with his significant other and to just fall asleep. At this point, you are used to it so this is all you want and you are satisfied. When he does talk, it’s usually about something he found out from work that he knows should be kept quiet but he tells you anyway. Late nights are the time of day where Illumi vents for a few hours. The details of these vent sessions could range anywhere from “I wish you were there to see it” to “No, it would be too much”. As quiet and reserve as he is, his love is shown in a unique way that you have grown accustomed to.
NSFW
When the urge slaps him across the face like a sack of rocks, he cannot resist. Usually, he fights off the urge by exercising (mainly because you are out of the house or sleep) but this time he couldn’t shake it.
Before he gets started with anything, he styles his long hair in the shape of a bun so it doesn’t get in the way of action.
Although he is portrayed to be an emotionless zombie, he has some feeling deep inside him that he unleashes just for you. This is shown by gentle moist kisses being placed along your neck and once he reaches your shoulder that is when you wake up. Halfway through your sleepy eyes, you see a man with a devilish smile painted across his face. Who is this man? This couldn’t be your boyfriend. No way, no how.
Once he sees your sleepy smile, he just releases so many kisses that you throw the blanket off and he pulls you in closer.
Illumi will allow you both to switch the roles meaning he is in charge one time and you are on another day. Since you were still asleep, he decided to take on the role. He is surprisingly gentle in the beginning but as soon as it takes off, your ride him like a donkey. It ironic; he releases more noises than you! You have to remind him that noise travels! Great, you’re doing your job well! While it is important to take your job seriously, you need to have time to release that stress.
He uses his large eyes to stare into yours; you always found yourself lost in his gaze.
After it all, you lay back down waiting for your boyfriend to return from the kitchen. Illumi craves food like crazy after a good session. What’s better than donuts at 3 AM? COMFORT FOOD!!
These urges also come when you two are training together. Several times he’s had to guide you from behind on how to aim his needles. This time you noticed the packing of his pants which surprised you.
“Any questions,” he asked in a monotone voice.
“Yes. Why did you wear jogging pants? You’re giving yourself away.”
It was at this moment, he knew he fucked up. But let’s be honest, ok? He is standing behind the most beautiful person in the world, nostrils full of perfume, hair tied up, and has his left hand placed loosely on your thigh?! What was he thinking by wearing jogging pants when he was with you? He acted as if he didn’t know what you were talking about.
“You really don’t know?”
You kicked your backside out against him causing him to fall to the ground.
“Wow! Your legs are like jelly!”
“Why tease me,” He asked breaking out a small smile.
“You’re the one denying it.”
“Just get to it. I can’t wait any longer or else I’ll explode.”
The quiet ones are always the freakiest.

Far Off Places (CH 1)
Overview , Chapter 1 , Chapter 2
Word Count : 2,487
^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Pain. That was the only thing you knew. The only thing you felt. Not just physically, but emotionally. Your kingdom had been doing so well. You had everything. It was all right there in the palm of your hands for years. All of that had been undone in a matter of minutes as lava poured from the sky and bombs went off under the surface. After fighting for so long, your advisors told you to run. Start fresh in a new place. Find new friends and live a normal life. What even was normal? You had lived in the spotlight for so long, ruling over the same people, the same faces, the same memories. This kingdom was all you knew, and now it was being burned to the ground. 
You kept running, tripping over your own feet and branches as you went, your breath catching in your throat every few seconds, making you feel like you were drowning on land. The smoke from the fires wafted through the trees, burning your lungs and stinging your eyes. Your cheeks were red and puffy from crying for the past couple hours, the bitter wind chilling them. You only stopped once going up a large hill about half a mile outside the city walls, and then again once you reached the top. You collapsed roughly to your knees at the base of a tree, hunching over and putting a hand against said tree to keep your balance. You spluttered and coughed violently from all the smoke you inhaled and doubled over in pain, scrunching your nose and closing your eyes tight. The distant sounds of fire crackling and wooden supports crashing to the ground echoed around you through the valley. You recomposed yourself and slowly brought yourself to stand, still leaning against the tree so you wouldn’t immediately fall over from the burning sensation in your legs. 
You stood there with your back facing the mess for what felt like hours, but was probably only a couple minutes. Part of you wanted to turn around. The other part wanted to keep running. So you stood there. The sounds making you sob harder, but you couldn’t bring yourself to move. Not yet. This was your home. How were you supposed to just let this happen? How did this even happen in the first place. You couldn’t remember making any enemies, so who could have done it? A neighboring country? You highly doubted that. You were hundreds of miles away from anyone else, your kingdom was basically hidden away in a valley between mountains, making it extremely hard to get to. 
Time kept passing and the roar of thunder washed over you slowly, lightning flashing in the far off distance over the mountains. The setting sun finally dipped below the horizon and the fires blazing harshly behind you cast the scenery in a dim red glow. To say the scene before you was beautiful was a sin, and yet you enjoyed looking at all the colors laid out in front of you. You just wished that it wasn’t caused by your home being torn apart. You grieved all the lost, innocent lives that were taken. All the time and memories, now all ash and dust to be forgotten. For all you knew, you were the only one that survived the massacre, though you hoped that wasn’t the case. 
You finally brought yourself to a solid standing position and pushed off the tree, steeling yourself as you turned to face your city in paradise. The sight was horrific, and somehow the smell had gotten worse upon turning to face the blaze. Lava flowed from the city walls and scorched the surrounding bushes and trees, the buildings were undistinguishable, and the castle way off in the distance was missing chunks as it continued to burn. Rustling around you alerted you to animals evacuating their homes as well. You were glad they could at least make it out. The smoke rose into the sky and danced with the clouds, a beautifully terrifying kaleidoscope of red, orange, and grey. The wind was getting harder, sending spirals off the sides to dissipate in seconds. Thunder cracked again and finally the sky started to cry alongside you and your own tears. It started as a drizzle as you turned on your heels and lowered your head to check your bag. Two golden apples, a loaf of bread, a couple fish, a notebook with a quill and ink, and a torch at the bottom. You pulled the hood of your cape up over your head and tore off a piece of the loaf and started to nibble on it as you moved yourself forward into the night, leaving the ruins of your homeland behind you to fall to the ground and be lost to time. Where would you go? You had no other family, knew no other rulers, and didn’t know what laid beyond the mountains. 
Your trek through the thick foliage was slow and grueling. The wind had picked up, sending violent ice-spike-like raindrops to attack your face and arms, soaking through your torn and dirtied clothes. You were thankful it was the middle of summer and overall a warm night, but the wind mixed with the rain had chilled you to the bone, sending shivers to wrack your whole body every couple of minutes. You had a large diamond axe on your hip as well as a bow and a few arrows slung across your back. The only things that remained of your homeland. The light glow from the axe and bow from the enchantments being the only light in the dark jungle. 
You had been running for miles before you decided it was time to sit and rest and possibly try to get some sleep somewhere. Luckily you had the knowledge on how to survive in the wilderness despite being locked behind walls all your life, so you stopped to scout out a safe area to set up a small base. In the dark you made your way to a smaller tree and started chopping, tightening your grip on your axe so the rain wouldn’t make you lose your grip. It took roughly two hours to collect all the necessary materials to build a small tent-looking structure, but it was good enough to sleep on and safe enough from the hostile creatures that lurked. You fought off a couple zombies on your endeavor, but nothing too serious. You took off your torn up cape and laid it on the ground to sleep on and set your axe and bow next to where your head should rest, bringing your book, quill, ink, and torch out and setting up to write.
Journal Entry : New World 1
Today, my empire was lost. I don’t know where to go or what I’m even looking for, but I hope to find someone or something to help me along my way. It’s been raining for hours and the sun should be up soon, but I still haven’t slept, as I have been running all night. I’ve set up a small structure to keep me safe for the time being. I don’t know where I am and the surroundings all look the same to me. I don’t understand what went wrong. Hopefully someday I can go back and investigate when I feel like I’m safe from whatever or whoever set my kingdom ablaze. For now I should rest, but I doubt that will happen with all the thoughts and questions running through my head.
You set the supplies back into your bag and break off another piece of your bread. Soon enough you’ll have to go hunting for more food. You’d rather save the apples for when you truly need them and you still had two fish, but you had half the bread you started with and you had no idea where you were or how close the next village or kingdom was. You sighed and bit into the bread, cringing as it was slightly hardened from being in your open bag for so long. You prayed the fish would last until you needed it as you laid down and put out the torch. You listened to the rain coming to a light drizzle again and chuckled at the timing. Of course it would stop raining only when you were in a shelter to protect you from it. You closed your eyes and drifted into a, thankfully, dreamless sleep. It only lasted about four hours, but it was enough to get you through the day.
The sun glared down on your small shelter, heating you up and making you extremely uncomfortable. The sky had cleared up and it seemed to have just gotten past sunrise, as the sun was just coming over the tops of the mountains. You groaned as you sat up, the pain from running all night finally catching up to you as sweat dripped from your brow. You cursed the summer heat and wished that it was raining again, so that you might get a break from the sun. How did it manage to break through all of the surrounding trees and hit your little home so perfectly? It didn’t make any sense. Within a few minutes, you knew, it would be off the shack and onto the tree behind it, but for now the heat was unbearable. You packed up all your things, rung out your cape and shook it off, and exited the structure, ready to set off again. You looked around to try to get a sense of where you should go, and eyed up a path clearly made by travelling animals. You adjusted the bow and arrows on your back and went to the nearest tree to cut off a good sized branch to use as a walking stick to ease the pain in your legs. 
Hours pass by, and then days. You feel like you’re walking in circles at this point, but the only thing keeping you on your path is the rise and fall of the sun. The jungle had changed into a spruce forest and the weather had cooled down immensely. You had heard of this happening in different regions but had never experienced it for yourself, so the new terrain and chilly air came as a shock. Off in the distance you could see snow capped mountains and lights reflecting off of the white landscape in the dawn. You grabbed some pork from your bag and chomped down on it, stopping to get a good look at your surroundings and supplies. Two and a half days of walking, battles with mobs, hunting pigs for food, and sleeping on the dirt. All of that had finally lead to what looked like a small civilization in the distance. You sighed into your food, taking another bite as you peered into your bag at your book and quill. You decided to get both out and sat down against a tree, pork in your mouth as you set everything down.
Journal Entry : New World 2
Almost three whole days of walking. My kingdom is long behind me. Snow in the distance. The air has gone cold and dry as I get closer to this new, unfamiliar place. I’m worried that I won’t be welcome in this new place, but there’s nothing left to lose so I’ll keep pushing on. I don’t have much to offer aside from my skills and a couple golden apples. I just hope I won’t be attacked or turned away on sight. Maybe there’s no one there, but I doubt that. 
You set the book and quill back in your bag, slinging it back over your shoulder and pushing yourself up, mentally preparing for this last leg of your journey. You had no idea what awaited you, and part of you didn’t want to know, but you knew that talking to locals might be your best option at finding somewhere to stay or maybe a direction you could go to start over. All you knew is that your legs now moved faster in nervous anticipation, the thought of a fireplace and a nice warm bed carrying you faster and faster, almost tripping down the hill in front of you numerous times. 
Soon enough the woods gave way to the snowy expanse and you pulled your destroyed cape as close to you as you shivered. You got out your torch and lit it, keeping it close enough to you to keep you warm, but not close enough to burn or set anything on fire. You set off across the snow, cursing your torn up shoes that were very clearly not made for this kind of weather. You had lived, surrounded by jungles and hot, humid, sticky weather all your life. To say this was a shock was an understatement. Your clothes were not made for cold, and your body was not conditioned for it either. You cursed, wishing you had hunted down some wolves for fur before coming this far. You trip and fall in the foot of snow covering the ground, and you can see clouds in the distance with wisps falling from the undersides. It would snow again, and soon. 
You picked yourself back up and trudged farther and faster, the houses in view now. There was smoke coming from the chimneys and the lights were on. You made out a house poking out of the side of the mountain farther past them, black cats running around in the snow, kicking up snow in the process as they tackled each other. In a matter of minutes, you made it across the large field, your breath coming out in puffs, visible in the sunrise as it peeked over the trees. There were two houses side by side, a shack full of dogs next to the one closest to you, and farther to your right was a pen full of cows. The dogs went up in an uproar as you neared the houses. You mentally cursed yourself for getting so close, seeing as they had obviously alerted the people inside the buildings. The cats now standing nearby, watching you closely as you made your way slowly. 
The curtains in one of the houses shuffled and then a door was heard opening, a loud sound emitting from the hinges as it was thrown open and a man with wings came out in a hurry, blankets spilling over his arms. And that’s the moment exhaustion finally took over, black dots forming at the edges of your eyes before you finally fell into the lush snow, your torch falling from your hand, extinguishing upon impact. The man gasped and rushed himself faster to pick you up and wrap you in blankets before promptly lifting you and taking you into the house, setting you on the loveseat and alerting the other man in the house to help.

Trigger Warning : R*pe
Why do white male writers think that “rape” is an important part of female character development? While it literally does absolutely nothing and just there for shock value.
Not just white male writers but in some cases female writers aswell. I want to unpack some of my favourite female characters and how getting sexually assaulted did absolutely nothing for their character development.
Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
Dany was sold off to Khal Drogo by her brother Viserys, please keep in mind that I am focusing on Dany from the show and not the book cause I have never read George RR Martins work.
Dany after getting married was continuously raped by her husband until she finally took charge and decided that she would assume control in bed. What twisted male fantasy is this? That a woman was continually raped and one day she not only accepted it but decided that she would please her rapist?
This plot line did absolutely nothing for Danys character line, if the sexual assault storyline did not exist Dany would still have gone and earned the titles she had and she still would’ve become Khal of Khals. This plot line did nothing but feed the male audience who further sexualised Dany or as they call her “Kaleesi” for no reason at all. (I’ve only seen men call Daenerys “Kaleesi”)
Caroline Forbes (TVD)
Imagine being written by a female writer and still be subjected to sexual assault and then have your abuser get the mOst ePic reDemPtiOn aRcs of all time.
Alot of people in the fandom refuse to talk about this plot line because Damon Salvatore is the stud of TVDU. But in season 1 Damon compelled Caroline and used her as his food source and continuously subjected her to sexual violence. Damon did not face any consequences to his actions at all, he was awarded with an epic storyline, a redemption arc, and he also got the main female protagonist. Furthermore, the topic never came up in the TVDU and no one even knew about it, and the show ended with Caroline and Damon being faMiLy.
The writers subjected Caroline Forbes to an extremely traumatic experience that she magically recovered from for the sake of OT3, the sexual violence plot line was not only forgotten but it did absolutely nothing for this female characters storyline. Her abuser faced no consequences and the show moved on and never acknowledged the trauma she went through.
Kisa/ Santanico Pandemonium (FDTD)
Kisa is probably one of the best female characters to ever exist out there. Her story line was exceptionally well written.
She was subjected to life of slavery and she wanted to take revenge. But later on we learn that she was also raped by her captor, which I think we could’ve done without. It did absolutely nothing for her storyline and just portrayed her as a victim to a man’s aggression. Before this revelation Kisa was on a path to vengeance and after that she was still on the very same path. Then what was the point of this new plot line or revelation?
Astrid (Vikings)
Astrid was kidnapped by King Herald, and it was in his kindgom that she was raped and subjected to sexual violence by various men. Astrid’s storyline was already a strong one as Lagertha’s lover and it absolutely did not need the whole King Herald trope.
If the writers wanted to kill her, she could have died at Lagertha’s side during a battle but the writers chose to subject her to a traumatic storyline for no reason at all.
Cersei Lannister (GoT)
Cersei was the epic female villain the show deserved. She didn’t have to be dead white man turned into an ice zombie to be terrifying. But the writers way of “humanising” her was subjecting her to sexual violence. Cersei was raped by Jamie Lannister on her sons funeral and it did absolutely nothing for her storyline.
The trope was extremely sexist, as if the writers were trying to convey a message about gender hierarchy on the show. That no matter how powerful she is, she is “vulnerable” to a man, to a knight.
Ingrid (Vikings)
Ingrid was Bjorn’s second wife who was raped by King Herald while she was staying in his Kingdom with her husband. The entire rape storyline did nothing for the shows plot line and was just in bad taste, and the worst part was King Herald did not face any consequences to his actions and died a hErO while fighting the Christians.
Sansa Stark (GoT)
Sansa was the epitome of the “male fantasy” a timid, petite white girl who needed to be saved. And the only way they could change that and make her strong for the viewers was through years and years to sexual humiliation and abuse.
Jeoffery humiliated Sansa again and again, in the court but that was not her breaking point. It was when she was sold off to Ramsay who then raped that she was considered strong. But to be honest for me Sansa was strong from the start and rape storyline was nothing but way of promoting sexual violence on the silver screen to attract a larger body of male viewers.
Brooke Davis (OTH)
Brooke is one of the most iconic and forever green characters on screen. But in during season 5 or 6 an intruder entered her house and assaulted her (I am not sure if sexual violence was involved or not). That was a plot line that the writers dragged on for a long period of time and for a while it did add to her story line but then it was completely forgotten.
That plot did nothing for Brooke’s character growth as she a was strong independent women before it happened and she was the same person after the events occurred.
(I am sorry for this post being too white, I couldn’t think of more PoC characters for this post. If you can remember any please feel free to add them. As, women of color are shown in more violent sexual situations than white women on screen.)
The point of this post is that sexual violence never adds anything to the female characters growth. Then why is it portrayed on screen? For shock value?
