being into fanfiction is like reading a bunch of stuff decent for the medium and then getting hit by a prose train so beautiful and terrifying you want to crawl inside the author’s skull and die in it

not to get really close to discourse-posting at 10 in the morning but it is a bit crazy to me how stressed out people on here get abt CCs coming onto tumblr and finding the community like. unpalatable or something. instead of treating fandom like a group of people just making shit that they can pass around with each other, it's turned into this weird almost-art gallery kind of situation, where 16-year-olds with bpd and unmedicated people in their 20s are responsible for showing off just how Beautiful and Wonderful our collective creations are 😭 like can we be real. there's a hermitcraft menstruation sub-fandom on here. this shit was never gonna be safe for CCs

#unless one of them is secretly an avid fan of menstruation headcanons. in which case 👍 nice #i just woke up so if this post sucks bad then just take me out back and shoot me #i just giggle sometimes wheni see people freak out abt like. ''FUCK we gotta tag our shit so CCs cant see it. but what if they still do😧'' #they can just. not go on here then. nobody is forcing them to look at any of it 😭 #ok as im typing this im losing interest because i could always log off and go buy myself lunch #but i'll post it anyways in honor of my 2021 self #discourse

if requests are open….jotaro getting jealous over some guy flirting with y/n🥺🥺

IGNORE THAT THIS IS OVER TWO YEARS LATE.

jotaro x reader (?), kind of an au i guess. he's part 4 age, 1.3k

"Hi, honey," says a voice, clearly directed at you. When you turn around, you see some guy standing there, shooting you a frankly stunning smile. He's not just some guy… he's Some Guy, and when he winks at you, you feel yourself flush despite everything. You're normally less susceptible to flirting from random strangers but holy shit, this guy is cute as hell. What's a person like you to do? Not react? Ridiculous. Perish the thought. "Come here often?" Oof.

Despite never having seen this man before, and despite the completely generic, awful pickup line he just used on you, you decide the guy is worth your time. He's just too damn hot to let go. If you don't shoot your shot, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life. So what if he's kind of an idiot? Look at that jawline! Those curls!

"Hi," you reply shyly, twirling your hair around your finger. If he's allowed to be ridiculously cliche, then you are, too. It's called equality. "I do, actually."

His eyes light up with delight, for some reason, even though your reply was incredibly boring. You guess that makes sense, considering the guy's opener. He's probably just kind of a boring guy. At least he's gorgeous. "Does that mean you can help me out here? I'm kind of lost."

…Lost? How is he lost? This is a boba place. There are menus on every available surface. Ordering boba is really not all that complicated but hey, it's a foot in the door with this sexy, sexy man, so whatever.

In an extraordinary show of patience, you walk Some Guy through every step of ordering bubble tea. He is very hot but he is not very smart.

When he asks you what your favorite flavor is, you smile shyly and tell him your exact order. With a big dumb grin on his face, he turns to the cashier and orders what you helped him decide on, as well as your favorite, confirming your suspicion that he's buying you a drink. (That basically makes this a date, right? Right.) The cashier, clearly thankful that the two of you are finally done holding up the line, rings it up and shoos you both toward the pickup end of the counter.

Over on the pickup side, you damn near have a heart attack. You don't know how you didn't notice it before, but the employee here—who has apparently been here the whole time—is the most handsome man you've ever seen in your life. He is so beautiful he makes Some Guy look like just some guy. (Wait, wait, he gave a name for the order… Daniel? You think it's Daniel. Let's go with Daniel.)

The employee is just kind of standing around, waiting for the drinks to be made. To fill the silence, Daniel chats mindlessly, standing a little closer to you than is probably warranted, but you don't mind.

Handsome Employee, however, looks at Daniel like Daniel killed his fucking family, all narrowed eyes and furrowed eyebrows. You think that if Handsome Employee looked at you like that, you'd pee your pants, but Daniel doesn't even seem to notice it. Hot, dumb, and ballsy, that Daniel. He's like an anime character.

Daniel, all smiles, wraps his arm around your shoulder, pulling you into a side-hug. While this might have been nice earlier, when he was Some Guy, now he's just some guy and you're not really loving him touching you unprompted. Handsome Employee doesn't seem to be loving it, either, which is interesting. He looks… Well, more than pissed, he looks kind of jealous?

There's no way, though, right? He must be seething over something else.

Blithe as anything, his arm tight around you, Daniel looks at Handsome Employee and teases, "Everything good? Y'got a mighty frown."

Somehow, Handsome Employee's expression sours further. He looks like he's trying to blow Daniel up with his mind. "Kinda handsy," he says, voice like gravel. And what else could it possibly be? He's jealous.

But why? Does he… Oh, God, he likes you, doesn't he? This is the best day of your life!

It makes sense, you think. You look unusually adorable today—Daniel approached you, too, remember—and this is your favorite boba place. You're here, like, all the time. It's not unreasonable to think Handsome Employee noticed you! You definitely notice regulars at your job, so why wouldn't he notice his?

His gaze is pure poison. It makes you giddy. You feel stupid with it. You know you should step away from Daniel, should try to clear up the misunderstanding, should flaunt your availability, but… Well, it's kind of nice to be wanted!

As if reading your mind, Daniel pulls you even closer. "This one doesn't seem to mind," he says, jostling you a little.

You blush. You nod. Handsome Employee looks apoplectic. Instead of commenting, though, another employee arrives, two cups in hand. They hand them over to Handsome Employee and quickly turn away, perhaps sensing the rancid vibes. Voice caustic, Handsome Employee holds up your drink and the monstrosity that Daniel ordered and grits out, "Order up."

Neither of you move to grab the drinks.

Handsome Employee's eye twitches. "Order up," he repeats meaningfully, his knuckles whitening around the cups. "Let go of that freak and get your damn drinks."

Wow. It's kind of a wonder the guy hasn't been fired, with customer service like that. Calling Daniel a freak right to his face! You forgive Handsome Employee, of course, because he's so handsome, but still. It's a little rude.

Daniel smiles wide, opens his mouth, but Handsome Employee cuts him off with, "You're not cute, Devin."

Oh. It's Devin. You were close!

"I'm the cutest," says not-Daniel. He looks self-satisfied and punch-drunk. He looks like today is the best day of his life, though you can't fathom why. He's about to lose you to a lowly boba shop employee! "And you're jealous!"

"If you don't come grab these drinks," growls Handsome Employee, his eyes like fire, "I'm going to throw them."

Upon hearing that, you spring into action, because this is your favorite top and you'd really rather it not get covered in milk tea and that toxic slutch Devin ordered. Wiggling out from under Devin's arm, you zip over to the counter, arms outstretched. You only grab yours, though. Devin's on his own.

Instead of just letting you take your drink, though, Handsome Employee grabs your arm and pulls you towards him with a frankly unwarranted amount of force. His skin is so warm it almost burns. He leans forward, and you can't help but lean in, too.

You feel giddy. What's he going to say to you that he couldn't say in front of Devin?

"Touch my boyfriend again," says Handsome Employee, "and you're going home in a body bag. Now get the fuck out of here." And with that, he lets you go. The sudden release sends you flying backwards. You land heavily on your ass, probably bruising your tailbone.

Looming over you with a smarmy grin is Devin. "Thanks for all your help, you were a peach," he says, and he has the gall to fucking wink at you. "It's hard to get Jotaro riled up, you know? So I appreciate your sacrifice." He grabs his drink from his boyfriend, punctures the lid like a pro, then takes a long pull. "Delish! Alright, babe, I'm outta here, I'll see you at home. Byeeee!" Then he's out the door.

A beat of silence. You feel dizzy. You want to cry. "How long are you going to sit on the floor?" Jotaro asks acerbically, and you just can't take it anymore. You fling your drink at him. As if on instinct, he punches it away from him, and it, of course, explodes in a shower of milk tea and tapioca pearls.

Scrambling over the counter, Jotaro is on you in a flash, grabbing you by your collar like a naughty kitten. He drags you out of the door. "Never come back here!" And with that, he tosses you bodily, and you land with a wet splat in a nearby drainage ditch turned canal with the recent rain.

All that and you didn't even get to drink your boba.

i cannot stand the loki fandom tbh and im trying to enjoy myself here so briefly let me say

loki caring about sylvie is a good thing. loki and sylvie deserve to fight and talk it out and openly care about each other. they deserve that.

that doesn't mean that the romantic pairing is being pushed in the narrative or whatever. the kiss did happen in canon they have to address it. not pro ship here, just saying: they deserve closure and they deserve to have their relationship (non romantic) mended.

being anti-sylki doesn't mean being anti-loki & syvlie or anti sylvie. the show is good, it's in character, it's creditable- we just don't have all the information yet so we cannot make a judgement call abt it.

#i love lokius i do. let loki kiss that old man. #but also loki sylvie friendship is SO important to me #ofc loki cares abt syvlie. she's the only other being that he's met who understands him. he wants to protect her bc he wants to protect #himself too. they are important to each other! and that's okay! #i don't think it'll end with loki x sylvie i do not think that's what sylvie wants at all #they also have no chemistry #alas #mobius u jealous old man ily #loki fandom sucks so bad i forgot how awful it was in 2021 LMAO #anyways #loki #lokius #sylvie #anti sylki

I don't want to sound like a cunt, but I don't like how Solmare has changed how they do things so now we're only getting the most recent Birthday events brought back for revivals.

What I mean is, it's currently October 2023. Satan has had three Birthday events since OM first came out: his Birthday in 2020, his Birthday in 2021, and his Birthday in 2022.

Now that it's October 2023 and we're getting closer to his Birthday again, the "Happy Birthday Satan 2022" event has been revived and has been brought back. It's playable for the 3-4 days before his Birthday on the 20th. This in and of itself is great.

But what about his Birthday event from 2021?

What about his Birthday event from 2020?

Satan has had three Birthdays since the launch of the original game. But we only get to have limited, temporary access to his Birthday from the last year and the last year only. If you're a new player who wasn't around in 2020 or 2021, you'll never get to see those event stories, and you'll never be able to obtain those Birthday cards.

Like. Do we see why that is a problem? This isn't just about Satan - every card from every Birthday event prior to 2022 is now completely unobtainable in the game. No one will ever be able to get Lucifer's 2020 Birthday UR or Barbatos' 2021 Birthday UR, etc. And we all see why that's a bad thing, right?

And the thing is, Solmare used to revive all the Birthday events. If you're a new player you might not have been around for this, but we used to get every single past Birthday event brought back, every year. For Mammon's birthday in 2022, they brought back his 2020 Birthday event and his 2021 Birthday event. But they aren't doing that any more.

So for a significant number of players, all those cards (both SSR and UR Birthday cards) are unobtainable forever. What might be even worse, the Birthday stories (as in, the main Birthday Pop Quiz stories) might now be lost media. Because Birthday events aren't put into LD like regular events. You can't return to them to re-play them to obtain the event cards or read the story.

They're gone. Forever.

And I really, really hate that. Yes, I was present for Satan's birthday in 2020 and I got to read that birthday story. But that was three years ago now. I want to read it again, because I barely remember the majority of it. I have a lot of friends who started playing OM months or even years after I did, and some of them haven't seen any of the 2020 or 2021 birthdays at all. If you started playing with the release of Nightbringer, you haven't seen any of them.

And jesus fucking christ, that makes me so god damn sad. I don't understand why Solmare has made so much of their own content completely unaccessible.

#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me satan #omswd #satan #obey me birthday #happy birthday satan #like this fucking sucks #i want to read Satan's 2020 and 2021 birthday stories again so bad #and now I never can? #lost media #it's literally lost media

flustered/tongue-tied

summary: kung lao has too much fun teasing liu kang

warnings: kinda suggestive :)

Kung Lao stared at Liu Kang across the dining table just taking in the features of the monk across from him. Somehow, Liu Kang always looked effortlessly beautiful, like a painting come to life. Reaching across the table, Kung Lao tucked a loose strand of Liu Kang’s hair behind his ear and watched a pretty flush appear on Liu Kang’s cheeks.

“What’re you doing?” Liu Kang mumbled into his egg roll. Kung Lao just gave him a sly smile and continued to eat his own food. Liu Kang shifted in his seat, seemingly unsure of what to do in response to his boyfriend’s silence. Kung Lao just smiled into his rice as he watched Liu Kang squirm in his seat. He loved teasing his boyfriend like this and watching him grow pink and restless; it always brought great joy to Kung Lao to fluster his usually calm boyfriend.

Both of the monks finished their dinner in silence, albeit Liu Kang was much more restless now that he noticed the unwavering stare that Kung Lao had on him. The fire-wielder gathered up the dirty dishes to bring to the kitchen, and as Liu Kang leaned down to clear up Kung Lao’s plate, the Shaolin Master pressed a quick kiss to the fire-wielding monk’s lips, relishing in the small squeak of surprise that his boyfriend let out before Kung Lao pulled the monk into his lap to deepen the kiss. Liu Kang dropped the dishes to the floor and squirmed a bit before melting into Kung Lao’s lips, bringing his hands up to cradle the nape of the Shaolin Master’s neck. Kung Lao brought his own hands up and buried them into Liu Kang’s soft hair before pulling back to admire the mess he made.

His boyfriend had rosy cheeks, a dazed look in his brown eyes, slightly mussed hair, and slightly swollen lips. Kung Lao hummed and brought his head down to kiss Liu Kang’s neck, but the monk wiggled in his lap and pushed Kung Lao’s face away.

“Kung Lao! We cannot do this here!” Liu Kang looked around to see if any of the other monks had decided to wander by, but Kung Lao simply pulled away his boyfriend’s hands and trailed his lips down Liu Kang’s neck.

“We both know that no one else ever comes here. Besides, who knows when we’ll get free time again?” Kung Lao murmured before sucking a light hickey into Liu Kang’s neck. Liu Kang sighed. It was true. Both of them were going to have to look for the other kombatants again. Lord Raiden was due to send them a list of other arcana bearers the next day, and then Liu Kang and Kung Lao would have minimal time for each other due to training the new kombatants. At that thought, the man lightly bit Liu Kang’s neck.

“Kung Lao.” His boyfriend whimpered as the Shaolin Master moved to suck a hickey into the junction between Liu Kang’s neck and shoulder before pulling away to admire his work. Two dark hickeys that would proclaim the monk as taken. Kung Lao knew his boyfriend was beautiful. Meant to be worshiped. He just had to let everyone else know that Liu Kang was his.

“Okay, let’s clean up then.” Kung Lao effortlessly lifted Liu Kang off his lap and set him on the floor, steadying the fire-wielder as his legs slightly trembled. Leaning down, Kung Lao started picking up the plates that the other monk had dropped when Kung Lao had pulled him down for a kiss.

“What…what was that for?” Liu Kang reached his fingers up to touch his abused lips, and Kung Lao looked up from his crouched position.

“Just needed to let the others know that you’re mine.” Kung Lao looked up and found a bright blush that covered Liu Kang’s face and spread down his neck.

“There-there is no need for that, Kung Lao!”

“Mmm, I know,” the Shaolin Master stood up with the dishes in one hand and leaned down to whisper in Liu Kang’s ear, “but if I did this later, the others would not be able to see the marks I leave on you.” Liu Kang sputtered and went to push Kung Lao away, but the man simply gave the monk a cocky grin before dodging and grabbing his hat to teleport to the kitchen with the dishes in hand. Kung Lao very much loved to tease his partner.

how some people can look at Zhongli and Venti's dialogue during this Lantern Rite and interpret it as beefing instead of, you know, flirting truly blows my mind? like it's not just what they're saying, but also the way they're saying it. it's flirting, they're flirting. and even if they aren't flirting, that's obviously an inside joke? look at Venti's face when Zhongli acts like they're strangers, does it look like someone who can't stand the other and isn't willing to play along with the other's dumb idea? please. I don't understand how people can still think they hate each other even tho it's established that they're friends, not only through items lore and their own character stories (I really doubt someone like Zhongli would let a guy he hates forge his sigil, let him destroy his precious vase, let him pour wine on his head, and then yearn for him for 500 years bffr), but also in the first Liyue Archon quest Zhongli talks about "a friend from Mondstadt" who used to bring him wine all the time, and Venti has a "refined gentleman friend from Liyue" he wishes he could spend more time with. a friend he still visits often, so much so that madame Ping commissioned Tubby to make a Mondstadt-inspired house for the teapot with good acoustics so he could play inside with no problem.

#oh i heard about the refined liyuean gentleman who ordered tea instead of wine and is very knowledgeable and cute #well I've heard of a bard that is truly elegant and eloquent and whose rhymes are unmatched anywhere #hope this makes sense also yes this makes no sense because it's 11pm and I can't write and and and #also sorry they are melting my brain fr I've been shipping them since 2021 but never felt like sharing here #but now I am so you better suck it up #those two are literally always talking about each other I don't blame Xiao for being a little bit homophobic during that dinner #he needed a breather because of the embarrassing old men and I respect that #xiao: right in front of my salad? what if I killed myself rn? #<- it's what he should've said anyway. it's what transpired from the way he looked at the Traveler tbh #okay I'll stop talking about them for a bit. probably. maybe. but only on here #I'll talk about them especially irl for a little bit longer probably I love them #OKAY I'M SHUTTING THE FUCK UP NOW #Zhongli #Venti #zhongven #genshin impact #gi tag

No one:

Me: Luca (2021) is about the autistic experience of alienation and wanting to live life like the rest of the world can and presenting yourself as normal to fit in and feeling like no one will accept you if they knew what you truly are and then finding someone who accepts you and thinking maybe people aren't so bad and I can be myself and then seeing first-hand how quickly people can turn on someone when they find out and some people will never accept you, but others will, and in the end what really matters is the love of the people who do accept you, not the hate and rejection of those who don't
