#ANYWAYS THOSE ARE MY THOTS ON THE BULLSHIT

But Astarion does seem to feel guilt/remorse when meeting the 7k spawns… idk it feels sometimes he does feel guilt and sometimes he’s just heartless.,
If this is in response to this post I made, then that post was in response to this and also some other fandom bullshit.
So I'm not saying Astarion doesn't feel remorse ever, but highlighting that at the core of his being, he is deeply selfish and self-serving, which a lot of fandom seems to either excuse away, or pretend is super good actually.
Here's the thing. Astarion does feel remorse ... in the Spawn ending. And obviously he feels no remorse in the Ascendant ending. So what happens with reglier ol' Asty? Well, he's not letting himself feel remorse. Because he's still not ready for it. He's still afraid of it. And like, yes! That's a totally logical thing for his character to do in that moment.
My problem is what people do next, and it's that they assume that his being this fucked up is actually an excuse to be a shithead to his victims and to others. That we should extend sympathy only to him and not to the people he's hurt.
"Well he was forced into it!" And? If I was forced into hurting someone else for my own survival, I'd still feel bad for hurting them? Most people would. I'm not saying Astarion doesn't, but that is distinctly how he acts. Which makes sense, self-defense mechanism etc etc. And stans agree that yes, he does supposedly feel guilt but he can't express it. So why do they excuse it when he instead chooses cruelty?
Again, I'm not making a moral judgment on him, he's a fictional character. I think what he does is (generally, I agree the reaction to the kids vs Sebastian is a bit odd) logical and makes sense for what he is. But pointing out those flaws of his, that were written like that on purpose, that are acknowledged flaws both in- and out-of-universe, doesn't make someone "gross" or a bad person. People disliking Astarion for his bad traits aren't automatically bad people who just don't get him.
He's a dick! He's written to be a dick! It's fine if people don't vibe with it or joke about killing him or do outright kill him! Will they miss out? Yes! But that's their perogative. People not liking Astarion, or hell, just doing something as innocuous as pointing out that he's kind of a huge asshole, are not uwu missing the point or being "gross" or whatever. They are acknowledging a fundamental and undisputable part of his character.
You can't on one hand wax poetic about how complex he is and how he lashes out because he's in such deep pain, and then take issue with people who point out how he lashes out and how it hurts others when he does so.
Speaking of, the thing about his reaction to the spawn kids? And how he supposedly feels bad but can't express it? He's all about killing them again! He wants to kill them! And when does he express remorse over both this wish and his actions toward them when he first victimized them? In the Spawn ending. The one that requires you to tell him no. Don't do that shit. It's bad. What you want is bad for you and for everyone else, even if it makes sense why you want it.
As a friend pointed out, it is kind of wild to see how life imitates art. In order for Astarion to get better, you need to acknowledge and push back against his cruelty and challenge his view of the world. That includes challenging his shitty coping mechanisms and reactions to things. And yet, it seems some people can't even do that.
You can acknowledge the complexities of his writing without using it as a cudgel against any and all criticism. And in particular, you can sympathize with him without attacking anyone who doesn't have the same level of sympathy, for usually quite understandable reasons.
Like I keep saying. Just because you understand how he acts doesn't make it somehow correct!
Anyway, sorry about that. I just had some thots because my brain is so big and full of worms.

As an older Gen Z past my teenage years I’ve noticed that younger people in my generation are…. Weirdly conservative?? And puritanical?? And love to police what grown adults are into sexually even when there’s zero things wrong with it (which is ironic, because there was this whole ordeal about teens on TikTok getting into “hardcore” kinks too early and bragging about being into choking or biting).
I guess it’s just the generational need teens have to feel superior and better than adults. It’s really annoying tbh.
You know, I've been reading a book called "A Renegade History of the United States" and one of the book's themes is that respectability politics aren't what got shit done and aren't what made the US such a free place. It was the whores, the bootleggers, the punks, the unashamed lispy flaming gays and stone butch lesbians, the "bad" people proving stereotypes "right", and the degenerates who made shit happen.
(Me making a rambling Pepe Silvia-esque corkboard about internet bullshit below)
What was considered degenerate and banned by respectable people (ie. Rock and roll music in the 1950s, American music and film in Soviet countries) was what pushed members of society to fight back against those respectable people: essentially, "fuck you, we're gonna listen to Elvis because this music is fun and so is dancing at clubs, drinking, and dressing like a thot."
Anyway, I bring this up because there's always a faction of people that desperately want to stamp out anything not respectable, anything ~problematic~ If I were to draw a parallel to fandom bullshit, I'd bring up the puritanical sides of fandoms on places like Tiktok that you've described and how they try to stop anyone from creating and enjoying weird degenerate shit. If you want to go really reach for straws, you could say this may stem from a very American mindset of puritanical values. The founding fathers hated how much people in their day spent time drinking and fucking prostitutes and gambling; ethnic groups like the Irish and Italian rose to "white" status by major influential leaders pushing for a sober and very religiously conservative lifestyle; the original groups behind the gay rights movement in the US insisting that no drag queens, no overtly feminine "swishy" gay men, and no butch lesbians could be in their movement for PR purposes; Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, and their political descendants like Jesse Jackson staunchly advocating against idleness and sexuality in order to be seen as respectable American citizens.
You can argue this emphasis on being seen as nonproblematic as possible, and enjoying nonproblematic things in as nonproblematic a way as possible, is a 21st century online extension of this long-lasting American mindset when it comes to morality and immorality.
Personally, I don't think minors should be consuming sexual content and ESPECIALLY not porn. It's just something not made for them; they're so mentally and emotionally underdeveloped that they can't understand that sex isn't at all what porn's idealized and hyperfantasized portrayal of it is. It's why they commonly develop body image issues (when they already struggle with that thanks to social media anyway, thus adding fuel to the fire), why they feel pressured to talk about sex as often because they think everyone expects them to be sexualized, and why some feel pressured to be okay with kinks and sexual acts with a partner even if they don't want to. And, regarding your ask, some push back against that oversexualization by shunning and rejecting anything they consider too sexual or sexually 'problematic', 'toxic', or impure (aka: sinful)
But that doesn't mean these teens who are having to deal with these issues have the right to barge into a space explicitly meant to exclude them. If you're living in this century, you NEED to learn how to create your own experience online without flinging shit at others who have their own curated experience. Staying in your lane is something you teach teens in driver's ed, but it applies to a lot of other aspects of life too 🤷‍♀️

Last episode!!
Okay! This episode had lots of ups and downs. LOTS of joe and downs.
The Steve/Nancy bullshit can literally eat shit I hate it I HATE IT
Once again the tension is constantly being ramped up, especially with the Russian team and the upside down team.
I didn’t even notice the California team wasn’t in this ep bc that’s how little I care.
There are a bunch of scenes I’ve seen as gifs that I didn’t see? Are those from teasers? Like Eddie playing his guitar in the UD?? I assume that’s to help Nancy out but I have NO idea.
Anyway this one had some good moments of return to what st used to be especially with Lucas and Dustin, but the last 20-30 minutes of pure exposition and flashbacks really sucked the life out of me. Not too sure how I feel about this ep overall
Incoherent thots:
The way Steve is literally being EATEN ALIVE by those things jesus christ. We joke abt him getting fucked up every season but this is by far the worst one. He’s alone! And so scared! And he doesn’t know his friends are coming!
That pov shot got me fucked up
Eddie yelling “kill it” while Nancy and Robin do all the work. I wanna be him when I grow up
NOT STEVE BITING THAT THING he so has rabies now.
Okay but the way he flung it against the ground by the tail 👀👀👀 okay. Aight.
Bro he TORE IT IN HALF
Me watching this scene five times:
Tumblr media
“Well they took about a pound of flesh, but other than that. Yeah never better” love how ducked up he sounds. Also Eddie in background like jEsUs H cHrIsT
ROBIN WITH THE RABIES lmao were the same
Ooop all of them getting behind Steve
These bitches are like the Procompsognathus in Jurassic park
Oh shit that’s a little person barbecue these fuckers are CRAZY
“Promise me you won’t kill her” OBVIOUSLY this guy doesn’t give a fuck about you OR el
Do you think brenner makes the other people at the lab call him papa?
SAM OWENS FINALLY ADMITTING THAT EL IS A FRIGHTENED, TRAUMATIZED, LITTLE GIRL
I just fucking can’t with brenner he’s literally disgusting and I wish he was GONE
“This place is not a prison” THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP SEDATING HER WHEN SHE TRIES TO LEAVE
“You chose to trust me once” when? That time you kidnapped her from her mother and then tortured her mother so viscously that she was left permanently disabled? Is that when el chose to trust you?
I keep seeing in tiktok people who think number 1 is hot and bro. He’s so awful looking to me I can’t believe it
Dustin being an awful fucking liar are you kidding
“That psycho fREAK killer? Uh, no.” Dustin for president
Ted Wheeler coming in clutch suggesting the kids that ARENT HIS go to jail lmao Mrs. Sinclair looked like he was talkin out of his ass
I happen to think that Eddie’s hair should be getting bigger and more frizzy each time he’s shown. That lake water does not help with the frizz
STEVE
“I’m fine. I’m fine” DUDE YOU ARE MISSING CHUBKS OF YOUR SIDES
Robin rattling off the symptoms of rabies I love her. She really thinks her best friend is dying she’s freaking out amazing
Nancy ripping up her skirt to bandage him welcome to Rocky horror
What’s with the squelching sounds when she wrapped it around him?? Bro ew
Please know that when Steve and Nancy looked all lovey dovey at each other I booed super loud I HATE IT HERE
“Yeah you almost shot me with that one” “you almost deserved it” rip to season 1 Steve who definitely pissed himself when Nancy put that gun in his face
EDDIE STOP “fer yer modesty, dude”
Okay did everyone need to spoon up when that earthquake happened???? I fucking hate it stop it with the Steve/Nancy shit I’m on my knees I’m BEGGING
Hopper figuring out how to make a Molotov cocktail in prison he’s amazing he’s showstopping he’s incredible
“Papa, I bet that old American did most of the monster slaying” vibes
Jesus, hopper wanting el to be growing and changing and learning and meanwhile el is underground and being re-traumatized by brenner
Murray looking like he’s shitting himself in that van while lying to the guards he’s amazing
Seeing all this shit, how much brenner spoke with all the kids individually, it kinda doesn’t make sense to me why el could hardly speak or knew a lot when she got out. Like reading and writing sure, those are learned, but you learn to talk by being talked to and by talking so. Idk if this makes sense it just makes me feel a little odd. Plus the older kids have a big vocabulary so ??? What is the truth
COLLAR HIM WHAT
Good. Now we get to see the actual fucking torture DUDE BRENNER SUCKS SO HARD WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO MAKE HIM BETTER
Jesus christ what the fuck is going on
Eddie looking so distressed when Steve doesn’t get the ozzy reference I’ve seen it in so many gifs it’s incredible
(Also Steve was not engaging bc he knows ozzy and he knows that moment billy made him watch it about a thousand times on mtv but now that he’s gone, it’s a really painful memory)
YES EDDIE TELLING STEVE HOW MUCH DUSTIN LOVES HIM IM CRYING MERLIN AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS
EDDIE SAYING HE WAS JEALOUS this scene fucks so hard omg
“I was too ashamed to be the only one left behind” EDDIE
EDDIE DO NOT TELL STEVE TO GET HER BACK STOP STOP STOP DO NOT FUCKING ENDORSE THIS UNHOLY UNION
Bro eddie needs to shut up fr Steve and Nancy should NOT get back together and I have so many fucking thoughts about it that it would be it’s own post entirely
Okay but I really hope they do some shit with the lights and Dustin and Lucas realize the gang is in that house that would FUCK
Dustin’s look when Erica says she’ll say what was under Lucas’s bed amazing
ERICA DIDNT KNOW THIS SHIT AFTER THE MALL??? Nobody filled her in????
Vecna opened it up obv
Okay but this Dustin and Lucas scene of them riffing off each other and figuring it out is so so good this is what I missed from stranger things this is what I loves about seasons 1 and 2
YES I SEE THAT LIGHT FLICKERING THATS YOU UPSIDE DOWNERS
STEVE IS THE ONE THATS GONNA FIGURE OUT HOW TO TALK TO DUSTIN AND LUCAS
Okay but the upside down being stuck in time of three years ago kind of fucks
Meanwhile Steve’s just screaming downstairs
“Maybe he really does have rabies” VIBES
I’m???? The magic around the lights is big time cheesey tbh
“Does anyone know Morse code?”
“Does sos count? Is that-is that good?” WHAT DO YOU THINK, DARLING????? Eddie is QUICKLY becoming a blorbo. (Except for that painful moment where he told Steve to get with Nancy but he wasn’t thinking right)
It’s not Vecna it’s your besties dw
I think they just should’ve had eddie touch the light the red magic shit looks really dumb to me
This shot in the Russian prison is BANANAS I’m freaking out
HOPPER HES THERE HES RIGHT THERE
Horse plinko
Not these MEAN MUGS the older kids have going on this is so funny to me
Why is this chess set so weird and ornate
Fucking brenner I just hate HATE him
I don’t trust brenner I don’t trust #1 I don’t trust anyone here
Lucas and Dustin fucking yeeting the lite brite and Erica giving her candy lmao
Eddie going “HI” and Steve like 🙄🫤🤨
Dustin: “We think we have a theory that can help with that”
Robin: “genius child”
“His tone, right” love LOVE him
“Honestly shouldn’t have gone with her first. She’s like, kinda mean” CALLAHAN
Callahan coming up the stairs going “oh little pigs, oh little pigs” like dude you’re the cop.
ERICA SLASHED THE TIRE FOR FUCKS SAKE SHES AMAZING
NOT THE TRANSITION FROM THE KIDS TO THE UPSIDE DOWN GANG
What song would save you from being vecna’d? I think mine would be crazy frog.
Is this really how she escaped??? I kinda wish that her escape was just always left a mystery tbh but this way is actually big time anticlimactic
Oh fuck the tracker in his neck made me SICK to look at
See in these flashbacks el has one hell of a vocabulary but we know that when she meets up with the boys she doesn’t know the word promise
HES MAKING A FLAMING SPEAR that’s so sexy aaaahahah
“The Americans are very tricky” in that super exaggerated American accent VIBES
Holy god the lighter being out of fuel
THE MOMENT THE DEMOGORGON FUCKING SPRINTS OUT OF THE DARKNESS I watched it three times at half speed so good
(Still wish this bitch was practical though)
This is the goriest scene in st so far and I wish it was MORE
“I gotta hand it to you commies. You’re committed” Murray’s karate is my favorite thing to come out of this season. He’s out here like billy zabka but not fucking painful
Not Joyce pressing all the fucking buttons queen shit
DUDE THE SPEAR THROW RIGHT JN ITS FUCKING FACE OH MY GOD
THEY DINT KNOW THAT JOYCE IS THERE OH SHIT this reunion is gonna make me cry with the slo mo
Okay but hopper at first not realizing what’s going on and then holding her back and smiling into the top of her head I’m freaking out
Okay but lowkey the look of (guys specifically) wearing long pants that aren’t fitted around the ankle and no shoes is one of my least favorite things ever and it always has been
THE KIDS
This is kinda cool with the gate in the ceiling and the mirrored shots of the trailer and the kids looking at the upside down gang
So he’s just manipulating el to get rid of the thing that makes him not lose his marbles
Cool
So it’s NOT how she got out okay nvm
El, You’re surprised?? I’m fucking not
That’s where she learned the ol’ neck snapper though
And he’s number one I fucking called it
Wait this is trippy with the rope going through the ceiling. Gravity’s about to get real weird
“Those stains are, uh, I don’t know what those stains are” KING SHIT
WHAT that’s so cool it’s sustained between them that’s awesome
Every time I see the Dio logo on the back of the denim vest I think it says Djo lol
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
Oh christ the pool
This is so spicy for Nancy (imagine if it had been Steve though that would fuck to explore his guilt)
SO BARB WQS TAKEN BY VECNA???
Oh that’s some gross shit from the pool. Once again, I called the pool being filled with gross black shit in my powers!steve fic lol
No wait OF COURSE el hasn’t escaped yet this is like 1979 or some shit
He’s Vecna. #1 is totally Vecna
So is this why the upside down is always trying to kill 11? WAIT IN SAESON 3 BILLY/MINDFLAYER SAID HE WAS BUILDING AN ARMY FOR HER yeah it’s bc vecna is weirdly obsessed with her
Okay but what does the creep house have to do with vecna? Like why is it there that he set up shop and his psychic link is through that
OH THATS FUCKING WHY HES THE KID WHAT WHAT WHAT
Oh it’s all coming together
Tumblr media
As a certified Spider Kid his obsession with these big fucking black widows is ????
“They, like me, are solitary creatures and deeply misunderstood. They are gods of our world.” GOD SHUP YOURE SO ANNOYING
He’s literally the worst. And people like this character??? He’s painful
He fucking SUCKS
You know most serial killers start out with animal cruelty
“She despised me for it.” NO SHE JUST REALIZES THAT YOURE A KILLER AND YOUVE GOT A FUCKED UP CIEW OF THE WORLD
This whole flashback is too much exposition tbh
Brenner did all those tattoos?? That’s lowkey impressive
This is big time fucked up
Those fucking slipper shoes are so weird just have them in socks or barefoot
001 to me is what billy is to the rest of the fandom
The way I absolutely can’t stand him
These last 20 have really lost me tbh
Oh GROSS
Not only did El essentially banish him to the UD she also skinned him
WHY does it look like he’s falling to super hell
THE REAL HORSE PLINKO
Knew it

LOL MAYBE EVEN MORE SINCE I LOVED SIDNEY AT HIS MOST DOUCHENOZZLE SELF#cause i knew still waters ran deep and he'd end up learning to EARN these relationships in his life#can y'all like..............get off Gigi's aerola and give her some space to like grow and mature too????????#ANYWAYS THOSE ARE MY THOTS ON THE BULLSHIT#lol all fandoms are like cesspools honestly#sanditon itv#crazy ramblings of a troubled mind...

i think this article that @thestateonmtv directed me to approaches the matter [of chronic lyme] from an angle that drips with condescension in a way that is v detrimental to the point she is trying to make (i think???? i’m not exactly sure what her point was). i think lyme is often associated with rich ppl like the hadids and such bc they have the presence and opportunity to speak out about it, but lyme develops in rural communities, so like, that’s not just people summering in connecticut or whatever. (connecticut is a hell state and i hate all those wasps, do not get me wrong!)
and i do think there is truth in a lot of typically middle-aged (but wished they were younger) white women who find solidarity in commiserating about pain, and truly, who can say what they have? is it lyme, is it autoimmune, is it something else entirely? it’s not their fault for not knowing, it’s the fault of medical specialists. the reason lyme doctors charge so much is because to actually research the disease requires massive amounts of funding, and until quite recently, no one was doing the research. and i’ll be the first to admit that i pretty much hate all doctors (and raxlen sucks, yes), but i do think their (as in the “lyme-literate community”’s) intentions are good. it’s just that these kinds of issues are absolutely inscrutable. and these doctors will be the first to admit that! (most of them, at least.)
finding an identity in lyme is folly, yes, but it also makes perfect sense as to why so many women seem to. our medical institutions are designed to belittle women, and kill us faster by refusing proper diagnoses or thru not even attempting to understand the pain one describes. when being rejected by so many doctors, it can be very easy to fall into the trap of being consumed by the all-enticing possibility of having a diagnosis, an answer to all your prayers––the clouds part, and you are satisfied in your certainty. this is certainly not exclusive to lyme disease. (play: a diagnosis) when u have any sort of chronic illness, you are bound to be invalidated. on a minute by minute basis! it makes perfect sense why people would seek community in that. yes the women she talks about are annoying because theyre also the kind of people she would be able to locate for an interview. but leslie feinberg died of complications due to lyme. in fact, many people have.
the truth is, if you have chronic lyme, there is no cure. there might be a cure, someday, in the future, but at the moment, if it’s chronic, it’s chronic babey. this article’s tone somehow seems to overlook the aspects of lyme –– or any illness –– that makes life hell, though. lyme is not a lifestyle the same way having endometriosis is not a lifestyle. i guess you could call eating pasta messily in an unmade bed in a dark room a lifestyle, bc that’s what i’m doing rn, but just because the face of lyme is yolanda hadid and not leslie feinberg, that doesn’t mean that the chronic illness isn’t real. because it is. people want to find a way to cope with the pain. i say we try our best to actually have empathy, molly, and we let them.

Rumors
Corpse Husband x Bimbo!Reader (Female)
Warnings: Mentions of Slut Shaming, Swearing
Genre: Fluff, Tiniest bit of Angst, RPF (Real Person Fic)
Summary: When some rumors start floating around, every content creator does their best to either ignore them or defuse the situation. However, sometimes, the fans attempt to do the defusing themselves which only leads to a worse disaster. That’s the case for Corpse whose fans were quick to jump to his protection of some ‘false’ rumors.
Requested by Anon. Hi dear! Thank you so much for your request, it was a joy to write. I’m sorry for how long it has taken me to complete and post the fic but here it finally is and I hope you enjoy reading it at least half as much as I enjoyed writing it! Love, Vy ❤
Corpse cracks his knuckles, then his shoulders, then his collarbone, then the his neck. He clenches his jaw as he breathes steadily and rhythmically, trying to control an overwhelming wave of anger that he has never felt before. This is a situation he’s never had to deal with nor did he ever think he’d have to deal with and address on a fucking livestream on top of all, but here he is now, doing his best to count to ten and not go on a Twitter responding spree, calling people out on their bullshit. He wanted to do so, he still wants to, but he was stopped in his intentions and brought to a calm mindset where he was swayed into dealing with this the civil way and not by roasting the fuck out of any and every foul-mouthed person he’s seen on his Twitter timeline.
He can’t really guarantee and civility during the stream either, he’s aware his tolerance is as thin as a stretched out, old rubber band and is a slight tug away from snapping and allowing him to unleash hell on these people because of who he’s been seeing red these past few days. 
Let’s not risk a misunderstanding here - Corpse absolutely loves and adores his fans, but seeing this behavior from them is quite upsetting and disappointing. When he uses the terms like ‘assholes’, ‘jerks’ and ‘rude motherfuckers’ he isn’t referring to them. He knows they are good people, but are using the completely wrong tactic of defending him, not to mention he doesn’t even need defending. Even if he did, he’s more than capable of doing it on his own and not getting other people involved.
“Hello everyone, hope you’re doing well.“ He finally settles on saying, officially kicking off the stream. If there’s any indicator of the serious nature of this stream, it’s probably the lack of lo-fi and the lack of even attempted playfulness and cheeriness in his voice. That’s how you know shit isn’t to be messed around about. “I just realized I didn’t specify what I’ll be doing in the Tweet, but I’ll tell you now, so those who aren’t interested in the subject or want to steer clear of the drama can leave. However, I wouldn’t advise clicking off considering this will be an overall, how do I say this, rant, of sorts? It’s meant to knock some sense in the people who have been spreading hate for a specific person on all social media platforms she’s active on.“
The majority of the viewers are already familiar with the subject, some even guilty of spreading the hate Corpse mentioned, but there are a few that are completely clueless - the ones actually not interested in online drama, not just saying they ‘hate drama’. With those people in mind, Corpse takes to addressing the issue from its very beginning.
“So, for a month now, me and this streamer, who’s also a TikTok star, by the name of Y/N have been interacting a lot on social media. She’s an incredibly sweet girl that a lot of people have prejudice towards. She’s very misjudged and misunderstood because people see he solely as her content, if that makes sense. They only know she’s that streamer who wears revealing clothes on her streams and posts risqué pictures on her Instagram. Like, no.“ Corpse cannot even fully believe he has to address this and that slut-shaming people is still a thing in the twenty-first century. He closes his eyes for a moment, fist tightening and his knuckles turning white, “I don’t understand how so many people can be so shallow and just plain jerks towards her in general, but then again - this is especially for my fans, the members of my fandom - I don’t understand the need you guys feel to put Y/N down to defend me from some ridiculous rumors as if it’s the first time I’ve had to deal with people talking shit for attention or to get someone canceled.“ He sighs, reminding himself to slow his roll as to not confuse any viewers who still don’t know the full story, “Anyway, back to the timeline of events. So, considering we’ve never interacted before, all the replying to comments, retweeting, liking posts and whatever sparked some dating rumors. Isn’t that just fucking hilarious - you see two people interacting on social media and the first thing that comes to mind is that they’re in a romantic relationship. Where did the friendship go? Does no one value or consider friendships to be a valid type of human relation anymore?“ He runs a hand through his hair, making another pause to clear his mind and prevent his frustration from overflowing. He promised he wouldn’t lose his cool and would remain calm and collected, but the more he talks about it the tighter he clenches his fist and the faster his heartrate is. His neck and ears are red from the tension he feels all over, almost like he’s physically restraining a raging wild animal and not just his own thoughts and emotions.
There’s layers to his anger, the lower ones - aka the ones he’s yet to get to - will be a nightmarish test of his self-control, he already knows it. Judging by how much of a toll this rant has already taken on him, his patience and control growing thinner and thinner, he’s not sure how he’ll power through the last layers without his voice raising awfully high in volume and his fists searching for some object to punch. To an ignorant eye, his reaction would seem exaggerated and overboard, but little does that ignorant eye know...
“When some of my fans saw those rumors, they reacted very badly. It was quite disappointing to see. Guys, I appreciate you standing up for me even though you shouldn’t do that - I can defend myself, not that this was a matter I needed defending from to begin with. But just the way some of you went about it was horrifically wrong and quite upsetting, to me but especially to Y/N herself.“ He can feel it, the aggravation growing, bubbling up in his chest, “What I saw disgusted me, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The things some of you were saying...I couldn’t believe you are in fact the same people who are my fans, my lovely fans who I’ve always thought so highly of. Never did I think you could be able of slut-shaming so vulgarly and grossly, I couldn’t believe what I was reading.“
He has every right to be upset - the things being said about Y/N were truly awful and a lot of things being said were meant to defend Corpse and defuse the rumors, doing so while stomping all over Y/N and her content. Rightfully so, many of her fans were outraged and quick to jump to her defense but were unfortunately outnumbered, leading Corpse to believe not many of her fans are actually real or as dedicated as his which only fueled his fury further.
Anyway, let’s take a look at Y/N’s point of view. Being a content creator for as long as she has, refusing to change her style no matter how many people disagreed and insulted her about it, she’s grown quite used to people spitting insults at her on every social media possible. It’s sad how throughout the majority of her content creating career she’s only had haters, creeps and fake fans watching her videos and streams. Rare are those in her fandom who’d actually stick up for her and defend her in ‘scandals’ such as this one. However, no amount of experience with dealing with hate could have prepared her for this outpour of some of the meanest shit she’s ever heard and been called in her life.
Y/N likes the content she makes, she’s comfortable in her skin and loves her body. She loves showing it off too and nor she nor anyone who wants that deserves to be shamed for who they are and what they do, especially when they aren’t hurting anyone and their content is still appropriate. People have always bashed her for all elements of who she is: her appearance, her clothing style, her streams, her gaming skills, her voice on occasion. She can count the instances when she’s received positive feedback on the fingers of her hands which would depress anyone else but not her. She’s always created content for her own amusement and entertainment so people’s opinions never really bothered her. Until now, until this very drama that has hit a specific nerve, an insecurity of hers she’s never talked about. The comments such as:
(Vy Speaking: Comments containing slut-shaming ahead, go to ### if you want to skip)
“Corpse would never date a slut like her“
“Corpse dating this thot? Please internet stop being ridiculous“
“Corpse ain’t a pimp, y’all need to chill“
“Even if they datin they gon break up soon - whore stays a whore“
###
bothered her far more than she’d like to admit. She has no one to open up about it either, she knows what she’ll get in response if she does - she’ll be told it’s her fault. Her fault because of the way she dresses, the way she talks and acts, because she chose this career to begin with. All her fault. The only person she can turn to she refuses to because she doesn’t want to be a bother - not after so many people confirmed her worries that she’s not good enough for him already anyway, the least she can do is avoid bothering him the best she can.
And that is exactly why this has upset Corpse so much.
“Here’s a little message specifically meant for those who claimed I’d never date someone like Y/N or specifically Y/N. You better listen carefully: Don’t you ever, and I mean EVER slut-shame my girlfriend or any other person ever. I cannot believe I have to explicitly remind you that your behavior isn’t ok. You should fucking know that your behavior isn’t right and that you’re a massive piece of shit for saying those awful things about others you judge solely on appearance and clothing. Does it surprise you that I am, in fact, dating Y/N? If you say yes for the reason you think she’s not good enough for me or that I deserve better, please get the fuck out of my fandom. No one disrespects my girl and gets away with it. That’s final!“
Though still under the influence of a flurry of negative emotions, overhearing Corpse literally telling people to exclude themselves from his fandom for being mean to her, Y/N’s taking a step towards emotional recovery knowing her boyfriend will always have her back. He’ll always be there to prove people wrong, defend her and stand by her. He’ll be there to catch her when the hate knocks her off her feet.
But most importantly: he’ll never ask her to change. Not her style, not her clothes, not her personality, nothing. He fell for her the way she is and for who she is, and he will never allow anyone to try to change her either. For someone who’s never had much support all her life, a single speck of support overpowers all the hate within the blink of an eye. Corpse will always be her knight in shining armor, the knight who defeated all the hateful demons by just entering her life. And though she’s still struggling with the ‘Am I good enough for someone so wonderful?’ and ‘He deserves better, doesn’t he?’ questions, with his hand holding hers, she’ll never let those doubts and insecurities overpower her.

🍒 I loved what you wrote for my Boba request, so good and so on point 😘👌🏻 How are you liking the season so far? I have…mixed feelings lol. I’m trying to save my judgement until the end of the series though, there’s still so much more they can do with it.
Anyway…I have a uh Thot 🙃 Totally unrelated to Boba. There’s this gif of Jesse and Kix talking during the Bad Batch arc in S7 (i wish i knew how to add images in here!) But every time i see it, i’m just drawn to how thicc Jesse’s thighs look and 🥵 i just can’t handle it. So i’ve come to see if my very best friend here can help a poor girl out with her Jesse Thigh Attraction. Pretty pleaseee? 😇🍒
oh honey you don't even have to pretty please this request bc i know EXACTLY the scene you are talking about. when he and kix are making fun of the batch right?? oh my god this actually made my day - hell probably my whole week! (i am also so sorry for taking so long, this semester is proving itself to be a lot but i’m also really excited for it:) hope you understand <3)
i also have mixed feelings about bobf so far. i don’t wanna sound like one of those fanboys and bitch about it but the third episode just really didn’t do it for me, i'm frankly kind of pissed how they just threw the storyline about the tuskens out the window. it was so interesting to see boba connecting with them and really humanizing them and then bleh they just killed them off and gave us space power rangers which i thought was bullshit. AND i love din but what the hell? this is supposed to be a love letter to boba fucking fett??
ANYWAYS enough of my babbling, i really hope the show picks up from here on out! 
good ol arc trooper jesse content under the cut. 18+
okay we're gonna do this in a bulleted list bc i feel like i can capture everything better that way so without further adooooo...
i feel like jesse lowkey doesn't even really think twice about his thighs
like he always thought that most people liked troopers arms because they were nice and muscular, like that’s the socially acceptable thing to like right?
wrong, jesse. so fucking wrong.
you notice how big his legs look the first time you meet him. the dirty, white plastid wrapping so perfectly around his absolute fuckin ham hocks, the long treks across countless planets doing wonders for the muscles there 
but the first time you really realized how strong his legs were was when you first slept together, the way his thighs felt so solid while smacking against the back of your own, driving home into your slick with loud, unashamed grunts 
one time while y'all are fooling around, you grab onto his thighs while he's pressed up against you, massaging them a little more than necessary tbh
and that's when it clicks in his cute noggin 
he kind of falters for a quick second upon realizing you really like his thighs, probably even more than he likes yours
but jesse is so smug (god i love him) and so of course he uses this opportunity to tease you about it
he gets harder each time you whimper at his teasing, "you got a dirty little secret, baby?"
when you gasp out a “yes” at that tone of his voice you both are so eager to get busy but he drags it out because of course he does even though he’s already leaking while imagining you humping his thick thighs 
jesse gets up from where he was slotted in between your legs and replaces his body with just one of his thighs, his knee pushing down into the soft bedding at the bottom of your ass 
he takes this opportunity to look down and admire your flustered state, your clothes rumpled, a tit peeking out of the collar of your low cut shirt
jesse has a wide hand clasped around one of your legs, bringing your core closer to his thigh and tsks when you try to grind against it. tightening his grip on your thigh and bringing his other hand down to your heat
“hang on, baby. lemme get you started.” 
he starts using his middle finger to prod at your engorged clit through your panties, deliberately swirling once you let out a nice, long sigh
he groans when he feels the wet fabric of your panties rub against his bare thigh, the erection in his underwear now painfully obvious against your bent leg that he has pulled flush to himself
you whimper for him, “i-jesse... oh wanna come.” 
he huffs out a breath of air, trying to concentrate on bringing you to your high but ultimately decides that this is as best time as ever to try out what you have been dreaming about
he stops and pulls away, hooking his hands around you waist to bring you up, “and i wanna see what it is that has you so fucking wet.” 
jesse gives a quick smack to your ass as he swaps your spot for his, although he elects to sit up against the headboard, guiding your hips to straddle his bent leg
you fully sit on his thigh and he, again, groans at the contact. you’re aching and waste no time in moving your hips back and forth, riding jesse’s thigh with fluid thrusts 
your mouth immediately hangs open at the feeling of your panties helping the friction on your clit, and it’s safe to say that jesse loves the view
the sight of him leaning back, his cock tenting his briefs and his arms gripping your hips urges you to speed up, unbothered with how the bed creaks with each roll of your body, your moans traveling through the room with no couth 
jesse knows you like it when he lets his mouth run on and on during sex, and he begins babbling nonsense when your knee begins to nudge his full balls, the feeling making him begin to sweat
“take it, cyar’ika.” a moan cuts him off, “you like fucking my thighs? yeah? so fucking dirty. you’re my dirty girl.” 
you’re moving so quickly your upper body begins to bounce on top of him, your moans becoming impossibly louder and more frequent 
your eyes squeeze shut when you feel the pool of heat in your stomach feel it’s about to overflow, nearly screaming jesse’s name as you grip his shoulders and come in your panties
jesse groans along with you, moving to sweet talk you as you begin to calm down, “oooh look at that. my pretty little thing.” 
Jesse is definitely a talker but i think he also really likes physical touch so when you’re calming down he likes to run the back of his hand against your cheeks, whispering about how pretty you are and how he loves taking care of you, giving you kisses wherever he can reach 
from then on, whenever you two are going to have a quickie, or just want to have some fun foreplay, your thighs are wrapped around one of jesse’s incredibly beefy thighs. bound to make your neighbors complain about the noise. 
taglist! please fill out this form to be added ((and let me know if you do not want to further be tagged for my writing - no hard feelings!))

round two of my ✨thot✨ spam
this was inspired by the “i would never let a man spit in my mouth” tiktok and while i whole heartedly agree with said sentiment, i would totally let ryan do that to me without question. if anyone else tried to do that, it would be hands on site. BUT ALSO the fact that he could call me a whore [ or any other variation ] and i’d thank him - ❤️
Ooooh, I love this one. One, I can totally see Ryan doing it. T O T A L L Y. Also, I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment too. I LOVE THIS OMG, YEAH.. Lemme see what I can come up with here.
Just for reasons, I'm gonna go ahead and venture this might well... Get dirty.
Life edit: I kept it mostly clean.. Mostly. Sexual encounter is heavily hinted at.
Warning:
Absolutely no minors here. If you're not 18+ you clearly do not need to be reading this, whether it's full on sexual or not, because sexual themes will be implied. So, if you're one of the kiddos, please take this time to click away from the adult content.
If you continue to read beyond this point, here are a few things you need to be on the look out for: dirty talk / light name calling & heavy af on the teasing / public makeouts....
It didn't get sexual BUT... it's filled with innuendo. Oops?

( at me all you want. I'll stop using this gif when he stops being so damn pretty when he's a lil wounded.)
RYAN WOLFE & dirty little girl;
“You’re all depraved, holy shit.” I glanced around the table at my sister and her friends, taking a sip of my margarita. Grimacing because it tasted as if someone doubled up on the tequila and skimmed on the margarita mix.
“All I’m saying is sometimes it’s fun to be dirty. You’ve never just given in to the urge to let a man spit in your mouth?” Natalia asked, more in teasing than anything. Smirking at me when I pretended to gag because I have a strong feeling she can see straight through my bullshit.
“What the fuck? No! I would never let a man spit in my mouth. I don’t know why ya’ll keep saying spit in my mouth, spit in my mouth. It’s not hot, okay? It’s gross.”
“There has to be that one guy you’d let do it. Everybody has that one person.” my sister gave me a teasing grin as she said it. I shook my head firmly. “Nope. No and no. I have never looked at a man and just thought “Oh hey, I’d gladly let that man spit in my mouth and call me his dirty little slut…”
“That’s oddly specific for someone who says she’s never thought about it and thinks it’s gross.” my sister was at it again, teasing me. I tensed a little, because of course, she was right. I’d die a thousand painful deaths before owning up to it, but she was 1000 percent correct. There was a guy.
But it was a non issue. Because the guy in question?
Only had eyes for my sister Natalia.
Ryan Wolfe.
“I think you’re onto something, Nat.” Calleigh mused as she gave me a thoughtful look. I could feel myself tensing. Quick to shake my head no. Quick to laugh and joke, “Oh no, trust me, she’s not. Just face it, ladies. I have my limits. There are no exceptions.”
Calleigh gave a soft laugh and shook her head. Taking a thoughtful sip from her mixed drink. I relaxed, thinking that maybe they’d both drop it.
And then Alexx spoke up.
“It’s Ryan.”
I shook my head, doing what I hoped was my best unaffected and unamused act. Sipping my drink and watching the guys in the back of the bar, gathered around the dartboard. It was Ryan’s turn to throw and naturally, my eyes were glued to him. Laughing to myself when he smirked and launched the dart and it just barely settled beneath the bullseye.
But I was curious enough to ask… “What makes you think that?” I asked Alexx. My intention was to figure out if maybe I wasn’t as good as hiding my feelings as I previously thought.
Alexx gave a soft laugh and shrugged, saying nothing.
My sister was watching me, a brow raised. Thinking long and hard about something as she sipped her drink.
“You’re not denying it.” she finally spoke up.
I shrugged. “Because I know the truth. Doesn’t matter that you guys don’t believe me.” I turned my attention back to the ongoing game of darts, slamming back a shot of tequila. Ryan’s turn came around again and when he landed a bullseye, we locked eyes. He flashed me that smirk and I bit my lip, pounding the bar as I held his gaze, smirking back. Ordering myself another round of tequila shots when the bartender came.
When my shots arrived, I slammed them all down, turning the shot glasses upside down, forming the first and second row of a pyramid. Wiping the back of my hand over my mouth as I found myself doing it again, staring at Ryan just a little too much.
“Maybe we’d believe you if you weren’t staring at him like you were on fire and he has the hose.” my sister teased, making me glance over at her and stick out my tongue. “I still wouldn’t let him spit in my mouth. I mean.. I don’t think I would…” I trailed off, going quiet. Well aware that I was dangerously close to letting everything come pouring out.
“Says the woman who openly admits to having more than a few kinks.” my sister teased, laughing. Pushing me when she heard what I said under my breath. “What was that? Was that doubt? If you’re not sure whether you’d let Ryan Wolfe spit in your mouth or not, that usually means you might be open to it.” my sister teased.
“My kinks are choking and bondage… Spanking on occasion. Not… That.” I scoffed, smiling at the looks on their faces when they all turned to look at me. I shrugged and slipped off the barstool.
“Where are you going?” Calleigh called out, an almost teasing gleam in her eye as she asked the question.
“I’m going to show those dorks how you play darts.” I answered, trying to maintain as much nonchalance as possible as I did so. Truth be told, I wanted to get away from the conversation before it got too deep.. Before they dragged the whole truth out of me.
“You mean you’re going to go get a closer look. It’s okay, go ahead.” my sister and Calleigh teased and I turned to walk backwards, flipping them both off as I went. “Ha freaking ha. I am not going to get a closer view of Ryan Wolfe. And if I were, what’s it to ya anyway? It’s a free country. And I can’t help it my eyes like lookin at him?”
As a parting jab, my sister called out, “Spit in my mouth.” and the three women dissolved into rowdy laughter as I poked out my tongue and rolled my eyes at them, calling out in response, “Okay, fine. Maybe I’d let him spit in my mouth and call me a dirty little slut. Maybe.”
My back smashed into someone just as soon as the words left my mouth. I gritted my teeth, swallowing hard as my ice cold beer spilled all over the front of my favorite white shirt. Soaking through immediately, revealing a fire engine red bra. I turned abruptly, prepared for it to be some drunk person, a stranger. Praying against everything that it was just that.
Naturally, it wasn’t. I wasn’t going to get that lucky.
Ryan stood there, staring at me thoughtfully. Almost a stunned look on his face. The look he was giving me faded and I swallowed hard, raising my free hand to tousle my hair.
“Shit.” I muttered softly. I could feel my stomach churning nervously.
Ryan chuckled, nodding at my shirt as he took off the button up he wore, leaving him in a white tank top. Holding out the shirt to me. “Looks like you need that more than me right now.”
All I could do was nod.
And for some odd reason, the entire “Spit in my mouth” debate I’d just been in with my sister and her friends replayed itself in my mind. And I wanted to disappear into the floor of the bar when I realized that he’d probably just heard every single thing I said… ,, maybe not. Maybe he didn’t.” the thought came, but when I saw the playful teasing gleam in his eyes, my stomach churned nervously because I knew he had to have heard it all. Every single word.
I bit my lip and took a shaky breath. As much as I hated asking the question, it had to be asked.
“How much did you hear?” I asked in as innocent a way as possible. Fidgeting and shuffling my feet under his intent and thoughtful stare.
All Ryan did was smirk and shrug. “I heard enough.”
“How much is enough?” I asked, not sure why I wasn’t just leaving it alone.
Ryan stepped closer, towering over me. His hand settled on my hip and his eyes settled on my lips as he licked his own. Seconds that seemed to drag on like hours passed and he finally leaned down enough to whisper against my ear quietly, “Let’s put it this way… I heard you say you liked looking at me. Among other things...” before standing up straight again, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
I swayed slightly, the beginnings of a healthy buzz taking over. Giggling at the way he kept staring at me, raising a hand to my mouth to stop the giggling. He reached out, lowering my hand. Pulling me against him slightly as a crowd made their way past.
He tilted my face so that I had to look up at him. Biting his lip. That thoughtful look in his eyes that prompted me to ask quietly, “What? Do I have something on my face? Lipstick on my teeth?”
“Just thinking.” Ryan answered quietly.
“About?” I questioned, holding his gaze. Smirking to myself a little when he looked away first.
“ How much I like looking at you too.” Ryan finally replied. I swallowed hard when his eyes locked on me all over again. Hints of a teasing smirk turning the corners of his mouth upward as he closed the distance between us. His hands went straight to my hips settling. His fingers digging in as I melted against him.
“Oh you do, hm?” I purred, raising to tiptoe. Leaning into the buzz I had going for the necessary courage to just let go and roll with whatever was happening.
“Very much, actually.” his voice was this perfect mix of velvet and gravel and I could feel my thighs getting slick under the weight of his gaze. His eyes roamed over me slowly. I gulped and licked my lips, found myself staring at his.
“You didn’t… hear anything else I said..Right?”
Ryan chuckled. His mouth inched towards mine. Almost painfully slow.
“Which part? The part where you said you might let me spit in your mouth and call you my dirty little slut?” he muttered just as his lips barely brushed against mine. He pulled away, smirking. Teasing me and I knew it. The realization had me pouting and dropping my gaze.
Which wouldn’t do for him, apparently, because he gripped my chin, guiding my face so that I had no choice but to look at him.
“Ya know…” he muttered in a daze as his tongue slipped past my lips, dominating the kiss as it deepened, “ typically, I’d prefer to buy you a drink or somethin first.” the kiss breaking so we could breathe.
“Yeah?” I breathed out, pouting at the end of the kiss. He chuckled and nodded, whispering quietly, “But honestly, as bad as I want you right now…” his hand circled my wrist, guiding my hand down to the way he strained against the khaki trousers he was wearing, letting me palm at the bulge. “I don’t wanna waste any time.”
“Get me out of here.”
Ryan scooped me up in his arms, carrying me towards the door. Once we were outside and standing beside his car, he sat me on the hood, moving to step between my legs. Devouring my mouth with his hungrily. His lips strayed, latching onto my neck as my hand slipped down between us, palming at the front of his trousers all over again. Making him buck against the movement of my hand and growl into my mouth, “You gonna show me how dirty you can be tonight, princess? Are you gonna be my dirty little girl?” as the kiss deepened, getting sloppier. I rubbed against him, clinging to him frantically, gasping out “Yes.” as I felt myself getting even wetter. His hand slipped down, settling palm flat against my aching sex, rubbing. The friction building had me rocking against his hand, earning me a smirk from him.
“Good girl.”

Finally got around to continue on with our universe. Forgive me for my procrastination 😏.
- Rex has this cute, boyish crush on Ms.Tano awww,
- Cody might once or twice call out Mr.Kenobi on his bullshit essay assignment lol (he still thinks it's his fav teacher tho),
- Yoda as a principal omg yes?!,
- like most of the time students and teachers don't know what he is talking about during school assemblies, is he being too philosophical or is Mr.Yoda just straight up high 😂,
- Din becoming a new superintendent of the school district? Honey, that's an amazing idea, duh,
- Now he dresses up to work in this nice, sleek suits, (probably provided by Boba),
- You enjoy this look on him,
- He'd still pull up to his office in this besr up truck of his tho,
- Now you and Din work even closer, given your position in social work,
- So... Office sex? 🥵,
- Din sometimes taking Grogu to his office, letting him wreck havoc while in there , renaming the files on his computer to gibberish and doodling little froggies on his documents,
- You are basically Din's assistant at this point, because he doesn't know how to be organized 😂,
- He'd still visit his old class because he misses his precious kiddos,
- omg Grogu carrying his Mr.Froggers in this cute little, clear backpack, hell yes,
- Din won't abuse his newly given authority, always staying humble and still carrying about children's education and well-being (this is peek bde right there, C'mon, let him finally bring Mandalore to its former glory),
- Rex asking Ms.Tano if she could join them for the library story time,
- Din the tiddiy man to the rescue!
- You won't ever be able to complain about pain in sensitivite breasts during your periods or pregnancy, because his big, warm hands all always ready to take gentle care of the tiddies,
- Omg, Din losing his composure because of your milk factory, he'd love to keep you pregnant for the rest of your lives lol,
- Paz work out routine always ending up in some kind of wrestling with you,
- He'd walk shirtless around the house, flexing his ripped muscles, because he loves how it makes you flustered, cheeky bastard,
- and of course his gray sweats™ deliciously hugging his thighs and other curves 🥵,
- he'd try to teach you some type of arm to arm combat for the self defense purposes,
- but your lessons don't last long,
- his size!kink going berserk when your delicate hands try to overpower him,
- he'd just simply manhandle you onto the floor lol,
- Boba won't admit that out loud, but he loved when you once put your hand around his throat while you were riding on his dick,
- He's dom through and through, obviously,
- But letting his princess take a lead?,
- he'd try to put your hands around his throat from time to time, until you catch on that,
- but don't get too carried away,
- once you slapped his ass,
- let's say he wasn't amused at all,
- ''Princess having grabby hands? Let me show you how it is done'',
- you weren't able to sit straight for the next few days
Sorry, again I went all over the place with those but I hope everyone will enjoy them anyways - 🐣
Its fine darling, I took a break from asks yesterday anyway! 💕
Office sex with Din you say?
Imagine walking into his office in a pencil skirt, and you are talking business but Din is just staring at how fucking perfect your thighs look in that skirt
And how your tits pull at your button down shirt
The next thing you know he's kissing you and locking the door, before wrestling you on his very cluttered and unorganized desk
If everybody didn't hear you, they definitely heard Din and incessant praising of your outfit and body
Now, Din doesn't even know how to understand principal Yoda most of the time, and the dude was there when HE was in school
All the kids have bets going on how old Yoda truly is, but he won't tell anyone
Rex having a crush on his favorite teacher? 1200/10 great idea
Rex totally got ecstatic when she showed up to library story time, and he pulled her down to sit with him
Cody totally teases him for it, but Rex shoots back about Mr. Kenobi and Cody just turns red and walks away
Imagine spending a whole weekend help Din organize his office, only to walk in on like a Thursday afternoon and find Grogu sitting at the desk doodling on papers and a bunch of files scattered on the ground while Din sits on his couch that he has and is reading over things
You'd be so mad and yell at both of them
Grogu's frog is now Mr. Froggers, thats its name
Now we talked about Din and your tiddies, but what about you and Paz's tiddies?
Paz just going about his workout routine shirtless, and the whole time he just knows that you are ogling his chest and arms, flushed and ready to pounce on him
Paz lifting weights? You're watching his thighs flex the entire time his doing squats
And when he's bench pressing, if your not watching hits arms you're staring at the delicious outline in those grey sweats that you can't decide if you love or hate
Joining Paz for his after workout shower, only for him to add to the work out by slamming you into the wall and doing some hip thrusts 😉😉
And Paz trying to teach you some self defense? Man gets so turned on, especially when you land a good punch on him (he loves a good strong and confident partner)
The first time you actually pin him down, he has you flipped and is wrestling you hard from behind as a reward for doing so good, and because you had made him achingly hard
Boba with a choking kink you say?
The first time you did it, it was on accident as you were cumming and you just needed to grab something, you were aiming for his shoulder but in your bliss you missed
When you squeezed slightly Boba was shocked at how much he actually enjoyed it
After that he'd start grabbing your wrist and putting your hand on his throat, but if you squeezed to hard or tried to take control he would grip your wrist roughly as a warning
The one time you smacked is ass, he just growled at you flipping you over whispering what you said in your ear, before wrestling with you the roughest that he ever has
Oh but imagine, sitting on Boba's lap at a club, he's talking business and you're tipsy and horny as all fuck so you move and straddle his leg and start rubbing yourself against him slowly trying to get his attention
Boba just acts like this is normal, placing one hand on your waist, while it was very obvious that the person he was talking to got thrown off guard
That night when you finally get home, Boba wrestles you into bed telling you that you are such a needy little one
Anyway, I got carried away here, woops 🤷‍♀️

Incoherent thoughts about A Court of Silver Flames (2021) by SJM
Do not expect this to be a critical, unbiased review at all. Eet just ease what eet ease. Spoilers ahead laddies. 
*unwanted preface* 
Okay, so like, you know those things that are neither objectively perfect nor unproblematic yet you love them and are attached to them anyway? Yeah, this is me with SJM’s writing. See, I been with Sarah and Throne of Glass since March of 2015 and with ACOTAR since the summer of 2015 when I was 13 and honestly, ACOTAR in particular occupied a decent portion of my formative teen years. Eventually, when I was about 16 I sort of ended up getting distracted from YA books and went into my thot and kpop era. A main reason for this is that I found ACOFAS particularly disenchanting. This ain’t about that book (sigh) but let’s just say as much as I was still attached to and in love with the ACOTAR world, I was still able to get very annoyed by the decreased quality of the writing and also the evident projecting Sarah was doing onto Feyre with regards to her own life and experiences (ahem). No, the lack of developed POC in the book had nothing to do with it ironically. 
So basically, since the spring of 2018 I haven’t read any SJM yet I never fell out of love with the books either. I’ve sworn off TOG after whatever the hell EOS was, but ACOTAR was always more special and close to my heart by tenfold, honestly. See, the best day of my 2016 was the day I found out ACOTAR was getting the extra 3 novels and 2 novellas. ACOFAS was a dumpster fire but I was actually surprised to really, really enjoy A Court of Silver Flames while it obviously has a couple (multiple) sus facets to it. The susness aside, I thoroughly felt at home reading Nesta’s book despite how irrational that might sound. No, I’m not here to say the book was objectively good but I’m here to say I still enjoyed it despite my love-hate relationship with SJM and her writing. :( :( :( 
That being said imma still roast tf out of a couple aspects of it. :)
*the susness*
Aight wbk that SJM like, projects a lot onto feyrhys right. I’m not even gonna deny it. Like as horrible as it sounds, when feyrhys were, like, struggling as a couple and shit in ACOMAF, that’s when I loved them the most but then the shitstorm that was ACOWAR hit and they couldn’t go without boning every two seconds or calling each other mates and shit and basically every character in the book started kissing their asses (except Nesta) to the point where they were infallibly good and powerful and everyone’s heads were lodged up their asses... I got PISSED OFF then, right.
Now, in ACOSF (is that correct?), they were side characters and, gratefully, that romance between them was toned down. But here are some things concerning feyrhys and the Court of Dreams that irked tf out of me, and the implications that they had for Nesta (who is perhaps one of the baddest bitches ever) had me feeling homicidal towards the IC:
Every single time Nesta said shit about Rhys and then Cassian got mad I wanted to SCREAM like yooo let her roast tf out of him like yeah I get Rhys lowkey did a lot for her both directly and indirectly but cmoooooon not everyone needs to be riding his dick like the man HATED Nesta from the get-go. I loved the idea that someone in the book lowkey abhors Rhys just for the TEA it gave me. Like yeah, okay Cassian, I get that he’s your bro but he can SUCK NESTA’S DICK also like my girl is a DEATH GOD.
Here me out: the Inner Circle completely dehumanized Nesta, they completely disregarded her personal autonomy and caged her in which is ironically the very behavior that was villainized when Tamlin did it to Feyre. First of all they restricted her movement, they made decisions FOR her, they withheld from her knowledge about her own powers, they decided what’s best for her and acted like she was a rabid dog the entire time. Only Cassian and Azriel seem more blameless in this regard, but the level of scorn and abohorence and moralizing Feyre, Elain, Rhys, Amren and Mor did towards Nes made my blood boil. At the end of the day, the Inner Circle did the VERY THING they hated being done to Feyre. Whatever happened to the freedom they professed? The autonomy they decided all members of their court deserved? That was all bullshit, or was this switch-up SJM’s way of creating justifiable conflict between Nesta and the Inner Circle... either way, there was no closure about this and the way they dictated Nesta’s behavior whilst completely mistreating her imo.
More on Nesta’s treatment - okay listen the way the narrative had every character acting like Nesta was fricking scum and for WHAT??? Okay, she didn’t hunt when Feyre and they were poor, she was bitchy, she hates the Fae... okay, why is Nesta still being punished for her mistakes like this by the Court? Does their forgiveness only apply to those in their clique? They’re acting like her drinking and sleeping around and her general bitchy behavior is sooooo toxic when they ALL coped with their respective trauma in questionable ways in their centuries of living. And the narrative never condemned them for this behavior either... like cmon they had an “intervention” about Nesta like if she needed to reach a certain moral standing to be lovable or something. Seems to me that only Cassian was willing to love her, bruises and all... “There’s nothing broken to be fixed. You are helping yourself. Healing the parts of you that hurt too much - and perhaps hurt others too”. But as beautiful as that it, it seems the IC see Nesta’s healing as her “redemption arc” when I never saw her as a villain or monster to begin with. They acted like she had to become deserving of their acceptance. Bullshit.
No cus more on this... Cassian is the only person who defended Nesta, the only person that wanted to help her heal and grow when everyone else wanted to fix her. He was the only person who was kind to her from the original trilogy (i.e. not counting Emerie and Gwyn). He stood up for her and I’ll gush about them in the next section, but the dynamic between Nesta and the IC was the least enjoyable aspect of the book for me. It was clear SJM wanted to spur Nesta towards the path to healing yet only figured out how to do so whilst only keeping feyrhys as the nucleus of this arc, and so she had them force Nesta into her “special journey” (because she loves them so much, cus they’re sooooo perfect right *rolls eye*), yet, the narrative didn’t quite condemn them for their toxicity towards Nesta at ALL, even towards the end. The good thing is that Nesta did not become an ass-kisser throughout the story and laud them for “helping her” every waking second. Only Cassian didn’t shun her for her inner negativity but embraced her. And Az was pretty cool too, can’t hate him.
Ahem, the ending: okay, I’m not even capping, but I hated that Nesta lost her power for feyrhys. I get that she genuinely did it out of love and shit and I’m not even gonna lie, the thought of feyrhys dying had me on the verge of tears cus as much as I hate them, I also love those bitches. Yet, the culmination of Nesta’s power was, what?, to save feyrhys. This way, the narrative put Feyre at the center of Nesta’s narrative towards the end. And Nesta lost that Death God power that she basically EARNED in that Cauldron. This is the biggest flaw of the story. She fought against her own power to give it up... for Feyre. Like??? What??? Why was that baby arc even necessary????? Why was Nesta giving up her power necessary to fulfil her healing arc which was the POINT of the book??? Like what?????? It left a sour taste in my mouth. No- an abhorrent acidic bitter taste in my mouth. 
Elain. I CANNOT STAND THIS GIRL. She completely abandoned Nesta and for WHAT??? For Feyre??? This only served to reiterate from the narrative’s POV that Nesta was scum and again, idk WHY. And also, why tf does this girl mistreat Lucien like this??? LUCIEN AKA MY FAVORITE CHARACTER???
I just don’t get how the narrative reiterated that Tamlin is the worst of the worst when you got Rhys hiding shit from Feyre, hiding knowledge of Nesta’s power from Nesta, all of that. Like, was the entire point of ACOMAF not for Feyre to embrace her power and become her best self? Rhys never for one second tolerated withholding Feyre’s power from her. So why tf does this apply to Nesta? Cus she’s unhealthy? Okay... so what??? Why villainize her like this and imply she’s undeserving of her power and a waste of life??? I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RN LIKE WHERE DID THIS EVEN COME FROM??? What did my girl do that was sooooo bad that yall needed to treat her like this. Tell me why feyre and amren and varian and rhys all acted like Tamlin in this book. Cardi voice WHAT WAS THE REASON. I AM SO MAD ABOUT THIS CUS THEY ACTED LIKE THE FRICKING MORALISING SYCHOPHANTS THEY CLAIM TO HATE.
Like bitch??? They’re like those youth pastors that reiterate how broken and messed up people with mental illness are? Acted like Nesta screwing guys was the worst thing ever when they should have embraced her? Like I get she would push them away but really??? “Waste of life”??? 
So we gon gloss over how Amren was insisting Nesta shut up about the baby business to Feyre (aka hiding shit from her)? How she was implying that Rhys should conquer all of Prythian? Hear me out, even as someone from a Caribbean country that was colonized by the whites, it actually doesn’t bother me when the theme of conquest comes up, like, this is a fantasy novel and colonization does not exist within the same context for me. That being said, like, it felt as if the narrative telling me lil Rhysie is just sooooo perfect that he needs to be High King. Like, I respect the fact that Rhys has no wish to do so. Homeboy never seemed to care for conquest beyond ensuring his Court’s prowess and safety so WHAT WAS THE REASON AMREN??? Like? What kinda crack was Amren on this entire book???
The worldbuilding... listen, the politics and history felt all over the place, felt incoherent and flat honestly. Didn’t bother me as much as it did in ACOWAR but it was just *meh*, not good. Not horrible, but not great. I preferred the world when it was directly the result of Beauty and the Beat and East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
The Fae have lost their *magic*: no cus what I loved about the first book was that the Fae were one with the Courts and felt very fleshed out in terms of their powers and shit, but now only Eric and Lucien and Tamlin and sometimes Rhys have that same magic for me. Like... the sensuality of the Fae in terms of their actual Celtic roots, that which felt whimsical and immersive in the first book, feels lost to me. I can’t explain it but I feel less nuance and orthodoxy in their portrayal. However, I DID love this one line featuring none other than the loml : “Amid the pink and white blossoms, the cold-faced Autumn Court heir looked truly faerie - as if he’d stepped out of the tree, and his one and only master was the earth itself”. LIKE I SALIVATED THAT IS MY MAN.
*good stuffs*
Okay let’s talk about the smut like I didn’t like the word choice as usual like quit with the euphemisms and say cock and goooooo. That being said like, okay, I like how she set up the physical dynamic between Nesta and Cassian cus the sex wasn’t some big romantic climactic build-up like how it was in acomaf like they were being NASTY from the get-go and I respect that drip. Like she did not cap on how porny the smut was and thank God it wasn’t some cliche romantic honeymoon type shit, like it was almost on the ao3 level of smutty goodness. All it was was missing was coarse language and hard kinks but in general, I liked the Nessian smut in this book more than the feyrhys smut in particularly ACOWAR and ACOFAS, like Nessian just do not cap.
Listen... you see that whole part when Nesta was like imagining how awesome it would be to dance Lucifer’s Bachata with Az and Cassian? Yeah, my girl just let her thoughts run wild. Like Nesta makes Feyre look naïve. Like you know how Tumblr porn in 2016 used to be with the aesthetic type shit? That’s Feyre, but Nesta is like on Pornhub level and it’s so fitting I was YELLIN lowkey. I feel like less importance was placed on how meaningful the sex and shit should be in the book and I respect that.
YOU SEE WHEN NESTA TOLD FEYRE ABOUT THE BABY!!! I WAS CHEERING HER ON. No cause they were being so nasty to Nesta especially Amren and then Feyre entered with all of her moralising shit like honey you KNOW damn well what you’re doing to Nesta is what you hate being done to you. Like damn right tell her, cus I could not STAND the double standard.
The whole training the women thing was a nice touch. It was kinda corny but also sweet. That being said, I laughed so hard when I realized how this entire book was Nesta’s quarter-life hippie rebirth where she learns to meditate and work out and read romance books and face her inner demons like this is some real New York college shit. All that was missing was a Starbucks.
Cassian. Man I love this man so much. No like he displayed peak dilf behavior. I think his attractiveness isn’t based on his bravery or his hotness but his humility man. Like he’s not a thot, he’s respectful, yet tough, yet contemplative. He’s contented with his life station yet wants to always be a better person yet is such a strong rock who really loves Nesta not despite her flaws but because they are part of her. I love the way he stood up to Rhys a lot, he didn’t shame her when she was awful to him, and he is protective (annoyingly so sometimes) but he really wanted her to empower herself. Their relationship isn’t perfect (I’m not in the mood to dissect the problematic aspects rn) but they were so sweet together and I didn’t expect to like them as much as I did back when they were lowkey a thing in ACOMAF.
The mates thing didn’t bother me cus I saw this shit coming since 2016. Yes, it’s cliche and annoying but the mates status also, like, has no meaning to me so it is what it is. Didn’t think they NEEDED to be mates but I was happy that them being mates wasn’t the core of the novel and it was secondary to Nesta’s individual healing journey.
Prepare for me to get sappy but another reason why I loved this novel was because it was a story of healing. :( :( :( The road to healing and growth in the emotional sense is always beautiful to me despite how flawed it often is when SJM writes it. I just felt really immersed in the emotional woes and eventual growth of Nesta despite my issues with the book and this is perhaps one of the main reasons that I found it beautiful, because healing as a theme is always beautiful and raw.
More of Nessian but like their relationship feels so real and raw too. No, cus like, it wasn’t tinged in as much fictitious idealism as feyrhys’ relationship was. They weren’t all stupidly in love and seeing each other in the universe and shit, like they just made each other happy and weren’t portrayed as the perfect soulmates who were each other’s yin and yang and whatever thank the LORD. Them having each other’s back was enough and ughhhh Cassian was just so sweet and such a good trainer and so aloof yet passionate like I been waiting to see more of him since ACOMAF so yayyy.
Okay... that scene where Rhys kneels to Nesta and she embraces him. yes. YES YES YES YES YES that shit was the shit that made my year like I want this man to be in her debt for the end of time like this hoe saved yall like big strong high lord better bow to the “witch” like I could hear angelic choirs at that scene like Rhys doesn’t just yield to people so easily so like, it was just kinda epic okay. Little bitchass Rhys with his perfect little river house and emo boi clothes stfu hoe.
No cus I love how Nesta told Cassian she didn’t wanna hear about Feyre’s special journey or Rhys’s special journey or Mor’s like I got fed up of people acting like they epitomized “good” and the “good path” to self-discovery when they can choke on a baguette as far as I am concerned.
*shit no one except me probs cares about*
Eris. So here is the thing. Since 2015 in ACOTAR when Eris was Under the Mountain being all red-headed and cunning and sexy and evil I have been obsessed with him... well, the idea of him I had in my head and how delectably abhorrent he seems (I like villains and side-characters okay). Maybe it was just his name (Eris is a hot name shut up) or the idea of a rich, cunning fox-faced prince in the same universe appealed to me. Either way, I actually never expected by favorite cameo-character to become... important. I’ll die on the hill of loving him. Here is the thing... I don’t want him to be good, in the same way I did not want Rhys to be a good guy in ACOTAR either. I don’t need him to be a secret angel, I don’t need him to be sweet and good like Rhys always was apparently. Honestly, I want him corrupt but likeable and pertinent to the story. That being said, I really want him as the main character for one of the upcoming novels sooo bad like please PLEASE let me see the autumn court and it’s two-facedness please like if not Eris then Lucien as the main character please.
Lucien... aka my fave character since the first book man. Mannn, SJM does homeboy so dirty like I have always loved Russian fables and hence, I am so ready for Lucien x Vassa x Jurian in the Vasilisa retelling with the firebird trope and Koshei. NO CUS in 2018 I was finna write a 100k word fic about this but then I forgot about it no cap, I still have the story plan in my Onenote actually but let us not reminisce. See, my ao3-loving ass wants an angsty poly relationship and also a hot Koshei I have been waiting YEARS for this you hoes, ever since Elain got the premonition of Vassa as a firebird in ACOWAR like God please please please give it to me and make it feyrhys-less as well yasss.
I lowkey wanna suspect Eris is gay and Mor, also gay, knows and that’s why she lowkey kinda tolerates him now. Yet, I cannot be sure and yeah I just wanna say that I kinda want that arc lmfaooo (my ao3-self is showing shut up).
No cus I was TEASED by only seeing a glimpse of Vassa and Jurian but THEY SHALL HAVE THEIR TIME I KNOW IT.
Tamlin living as a beast is so interesting to me. He’s a side-character now but ughhhh he was so mystical and interesting as our good ole Beauty and the Beast beastie like it’s sooooo mysterious and alluring how he’s becoming his own villainous legend like I still care about Tamlin’s blond ass self despite everything. 
Give us the snowball fight scene you coward.
I just gotta say Nessian could outsmut Feyrhys any day and that makes me proud.
FRICKING AZRIEL like first of all Mor doesn’t NEED to come out until she’s ready but she gotta let the man down nicely some other way so he can move on. I do not like Elain. Never did. I still do not. I do not, frankly, want a whole novel where she and Azriel fall in love and she rejects Lucien like... okay, I DO want her to reject Lucien so he can be with Vassa at the very least but also I am not interested in Elain’s POV rn. BUT I WANT AZ’S POV AND LIKE WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO I WANT MY EMO BOI TO BE HAPPY. This is so frustrating cus Az is a walking DILF right and so, what am I supposed to do now.
I kinda miss the Spring Court just a little. It’s pretty shut up. It got that Zuhair Murad fashion too. 
Umm like, what the hell is up with that business with Helion being Lucien’s dad? We need more on this which is why I want a Lucien POV book goddammit.
Yoooooooo yall remember that bitch from ACOWAR who hybern was finna kill and she had a name and everything and then there was some foreshadowing and shit? What’s up with her? Like I can’t even remember her name lowkey but yeah what’s up with that. Was it something like Briar or Briannon or somthing???
Is Mor getting a book? Like deadass I need the Lucien and Vassa book, I need the Eris book, I need the Mor book and I need the Azriel book. Damn. Been waiting 6 years for some of this shit.
Okay that is all for now. Yes, this book has problematic elements at every level but I still loved it yet also hated some things about it. I won’t read House of Blood and Earth nor will I finish the TOG series but I guess I’ll stick with this series which remains near and dear to my soul despite what people gotta say about it. It made me happy and that’s what matters. Nesta is a huge ass inspiration to me as a character and I still wanna see her make the Inner Circle’s life a living hell uwu. I admittedly got HELLA emotional reading this story because it’s nonetheless super meaningful to me even at age 19 and it’s really powerful for me as a comfort book, and I look forward (a little) to what this woman put out next... sort of.
Signing off! Don’t @ me (okay you CAN @ me but idc).

the way we barely got any noah/jonas/elizabeth content after the apocalypse is CRIMINAL and i will sue baran and jantje for making me think about them. give me their friendship i am BEGGING
Anon, you're a genius. I didn't even think about the fact that they would probably spend years as a trio! Oh god, I need to get all of those headcanons out before I forget them, so this will be long. Sorry to literally everyone else but this post is for Anon.
First off: All of the cute fluffy headcanons and fanfics that people project onto Elisabeth and Noah are definitely canon but  seconds after the screen fades to black Jonas comes bursting into the cave like "hEy guys! Guess who just got us some NukaCola or some shit?" like the dorkiest third wheel.
Jonas doesn't trust Noah at first. He wants to die and this guy just took away the only way to end it all. He doesn't care about all the pseudo-religious promises Noah makes to Elisabeth. He's over this. The only thing he can do now is to trust Claudia and build a way out of this mess. But he also has to survive somehow, especially when Claudia leaves for undetermined amounts of time. He may be clever and sly but having shelter in the caves beats sleepless nights in what's practically a giant graveyard now. So he also kinda has to trust Noah. Jonas slowly warms up to him while they work on the time travel portal. Jonas has to explain basic physics to Noah but he's a suprisingly fast learner and cracks jokes when he makes mistakes which remind Jonas awfully of Bartosz. When they are alone together Noah sometimes opens up about his dead mother and how insecure he is about having children and Jonas slowly lets on how much he misses his dad and that he still feels so much guilt. But Jonas finally lets himself fully trust Noah when he starts trying to quote vines to lift the mood but always ending up with something like "This bitch empty? Weed!" like an adorable grandpa.
Jonas obviously gets closer to Noah but Jonas and Elisabeth bond over their lost families and pop culture references. Jonas didn't have really time to mourn before his time in the cave and having someone to vent to who actually kind of knows what happened is probably the closest he's ever gotten to therapy after the apocalypse. So his and Elisabeths relationship would be a mixture of those sweet earnest moments and them allowing themselves to be vulnerable and Elisabeth relentlessy dunking on Jonas. When Jonas grows his first shitty ass looking moustache Noah asks him to please shave it off because Elisabeth won't stop talking shit about it. Jonas starts shaving on his own as he learns enough signlanguage (The first two things that Jonas learns in signlanguage are "fuck off" and "Fortnite".) to understand Elisabeths sick burns.
Oh god just imagine Jonas and Noah looking for ressources and telling Elisabeth to stay in the cave and Elisabeth obviously sneaking out anyway. And then the boys coming back with five berries total and Elisabeth grinning at them with a shitload of canned beans in her lap.        
Elisabeth is well established to be a little shit and young!Noah has that trademark "ain't I a shitty bitch?"-grin so you know they would be constantly teaming up to fuck with Jonas. Even after years and years they still prank this fucking nerd. Especially during Elisabeths pregnancy they fake Elisa going into labor and Noah telling Jonas to "get some water!" which is probably about 2km away so they can spend some quality time alone. And if there are two dubiously canon facts about Jonas, it is that a) he showers maybe once a year and b) he didn't get a single day of sex ed in school, so it works every goddamn time. When Claudia notices this, her reaction is be something akin to "lmao u dumb thot, get back to the power plant".
But don't worry, Jonas gets his fun too. When talking about the past he will casually make shit up about the 21st century. And because Noah has almost frame of reference, he eats this shit up. Like for example Jonas: "They had dinosaur parks in the USA for a short time." Noah: "What??" Jonas: "Oh you know, like in Jurassic Park? The movie?" Noah: "I have literally never heard of this before." Jonas: "It was just like that" Elisabeth, noticing there’s some scammy bullshit going on: Oh yeah, I remember my sister telling me about how she rode a stegosaurus once. So sad they closed them after one of the Kardashians fell into an enclosure.:(
I think something that doesn't get explored enough as well is Claudias relationship to those three. Noahs parents are dead, Jonas had only his mother left but she was on a quest to get laid and got killed by Adam and Elisabeth's mother isn't even born yet, so Claudia is probably the closest thing they have to a parental figure. And she does have a close relationship to Jonas, he shares her interest to learn astrophysics and shit to fix everything after all.But I think she would slowly warm up to the other two kids as well. Especially as Noah shares lots of similarities with Regina. And Elisabeth is but a baby child. Not that she would be overly motherly or protective but she'd make sure that none of those idiots would get killed or severely harmed and occaisonally bail them out of bad situations.
tl;dr friendship dynamic consisting of constantly changing periods of extreme vulnerability and hardcore dunking on each other to survive this post-apocalyptic world at least a little sane

I feel like The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy isn't talked about enough so I compiled a very poorly written list of some of my favourite parts
Monty may have been very misguided about just how difficult it was for Felicity to succeed in the medical field but you can see our lad is drinking his Respect Women Juice every morning, thank you for your effort Monty
(Percy is already an expert in Respecting Women)
On that note I appreciate that at this point Monty and Felicity's relationship is basically
Monty: this is my sister Felicity, she is very brave and smart and we all adore her. Yes she's quite annoying too but I love her very much and I have no doubt that she will achieve amazing things with her life Felicity: this is my brother Monty and he's a rat bastard baby man. Yes I love him but more importantly he's a THOT
Our first impression of Sim is that she's annoyed by the excessive amount of white men in London
That guy just tackling Monty and causing them both to fall into the Thames, mmm whatcha sayy
It's great to finally see Felicity's perspective for many reasons but especially because in tggtvav we just see her through Monty's eyes, so it's all 'wow Felicity is so brave and strong and clever we would all be dead if not for her' whereas her inner monologue is actually just 'shit shit shit what do I know now shit'
MAX
Honestly as soon as Johanna was introduced I fell instantly in love with her
Felicity having to be like 'NO IT'S NOT BLOOD I JUST SPLIT AN ENTIRE GLASS OF WINE ON MYSELF AND THEN FELL INTO A CAKE'
Shout out to those two kissing girls at Frau Engel's, I hope they're doing okay
Johanna calling Felicity out on her 'I'm not like other girls' bullshit and informing her that she's still the same intelligent girl she knew, the fact that she likes dresses and bows now doesn't change that and why should she give a shit whether or not men take her seriously, she's living to make herself happy
Felicity immediately changing her views after this and realizing that girls are fucking awesome and by measuring them by how men percieve them she's just rebranding sexism
Honestly all the feminist takes in this book were so good
That minute where we thought they'd walked into a place filled with organs and severed limbs before it's revealed that they're just wax lmao
Just the Science Girl Gang in general
Johanna genuinely thinking Monty's ear grew back
The fact that the kiss between Sim and Felicity didn't lead to any drama when Felicity said she didn't still didn't really feel any kind of sexual/romantic attraction, Sim just accepted it and they were still friends who just kind of had platonic crushes on eachother
Felicity's asexuality in general was handled really well
THE BABY SEA DRAGON
I already knew Platt was an asshole but holy shit fuck him
'Swaggering into the room in a way that would have been ridiculous had he not been so good-looking' I'm sorry Mackenzi Lee was that a Great Comet reference
Johanna kicking Monty in the balls
Percy and Monty both hugging Felicity at once, they're all too pure
Literally none of the men were creepy when Felicity had to take off her petticoat to show them the embroidered map, they all looked away and my man Scipio didn't even want to touch the petticoat - honestly I shouldn't have to remark on this but it just shows how rare it is that a group of men actually respect women and their autonomy, and this is a group of pirates who've probably all killed people
The whole battle scene was just really well-written and really showed the reality of the situation
The sea dragon just fuckin SINKING the ship, hell yeah ms. sea dragon
The ending in general was so pure
I love that this book carried on with the theme of self love that's present in the first one - that whole repeated message of you deserve to be here, and how one of the most defiant things you can do in a world that wants to oppress you to is to be proud of who you are and allow yourself to do what makes you happy
Anyway feel free to add more because this whole book was so good! That was a very messy synopsis lol

some thots. having a bad time so this is rougher than usual. oh well
....
i guess he really does know hiim best cos if that was my mans (man specifically cos if anyone else did that id take it more srsly) i would be like oh my god ur singing me a love song? i would love it but i woudl SCREAM in embarrassment. UNLESS it was a really deep love song that's about us dying together.
like i want to eat ur skin type of thing (drain u nirvana) lmaoa but i really like this song it reminds me of that velvet underground song (the only one i know cos of juno lmao) and nico or whatever 'i'm sticking with you)
Tumblr media
my adhd would be out of fucking control i had to spend my time listening to this looking around i kept getting distracted by a tissue and thinking "wow this song is nice but i wish it would end bc i am getting distracted" and lo and behold i paused it and i have to pee and i know it's gonna take forever to undo this
ok about 12m later i turned it back on and they kissed and then he bit the corn then that night li chen also lost his virgin teas after watching gay porn and being like "hm interesting" and he'll be like "i see, ur dick is not medium sized"

anyway here
Tumblr media
i'm almost done with this fucking bullshit and i am in a really ould mood and usu they make it a bit better but imo it's kind of....annoying i guess balancing all these story elements and introducin gother couples (even in the periphery) since the story in itself can't focus. i feel like all in all the time spent with these two is a lot more limited and we get the feel for the rship because of their chemistry as actors, irl chemistry as friends and colleagues, and hopefully being happy and working on a good set. so it isn't the strength of the writing or production.
for some reason they get like less dynamic ways of being together which i think is part of their charm, they do things their own way, but the writers really should have substantiated this more. it's really just the way everyone in the show has managed to deliver these AWFUL story lines and production decisions (like seriously who the fuck was on costume? lighting?)
like maybe hot take but all the moments that are cringe and insane in the show are not pleasant, per se, because they aren't thought out clearly. so they're not a joy to watch in the normal sense but the actors are good enough to pull it off. i didn't cringe at the talks they had because it felt like actors like acting these lines out instead of us being embarrassed for it and you CAN TELL theyre embarrassed.
this is a huge kudos to the casting director and the actors and whatever crew that actually did a good job. i don't particularly like watching bo xiang and his grandfather husband not because of the content but because i feel like, to me, they're so awkward even though they have chemistry. i don't have that issue with xing si and his rapist brother boyfriend because watching them is actually really pleasant, it's intimate. this isn't to do with the story though because when it hits you how devoid this other person is and how stupid the situation is it changes (for me, for me, for me, this is all my opinion think whateverrrr u want im not telling u 2 ok!)
so truly kudos to this cast. idk if i'm misremembering here but imo the most cast appropriate series in this was crossing the line and close to you. one is a decent atmosphere and execution (yes even with that brother story line, notice the major key differences though because that's a sincere false equivalence. they try to execute power imbalances soooo badly and then fail every time but here's one meant to shock too and it was just likelmao ok girl?)
it may not make sense to say either in a writing way or for the character to do it but i believe that whoever the characters these people are supposed to be especially those super not well written on the page still get that message aacross (yong jie's actor is a good ex. not sure if i should ccongratulate him for having the worst job on earth and the worst character and his character is flat but. ostensibly they should let their actions speak for themselevs but what they do is they back themselves into a ccorner with unsuretyabout their characters or a dilemma that pops up they just want to excuse it. well guess hwat u couldnt do enough legwork. but to some extent the disposable side couple works here on a um "our eyes see them and get it" way
also to me it seems like they chose this story just to have this specific wedding. like it's a timely topic and i'm pretty sure like another provision? (correction? idk) was made WRT taiwanese same-sex marriage so it's topical but it isn't like a "papa and daddy" situation where they're interacting in it and there (for ex: the pride parade) and there being like real life terms and consequences. here it seems like they were like ah yes wedding ah yes dumb couple from modc bc we kiled off the other one sooooo (then outsource them to life love on the line u__u) then hamfisting in some fucking message which is funny bc
- despite the hints peppered in and the clear attraction they both acknowledge ur like ~not gay just him~ even tho...i mean i just. again they dont read over what they write i don't think considering. but wahtever.
- the only gay dude (verbally said) is with his rapist brother with an awful power dynamic oh or IS a rapist (gao) (or his brother but i think it was just a "im a psycho so it's him" thing unless they said it. in which case idc cos i wasnt paying attn but that's also not great) or i guess the wedding but like....that's also a ridiculously inappropriate and dumb relationship taht it's built on. i mean i don't really see much respect her so i dont particularly want to hear abt gay weddings being important when they didn't even utilize it in the story beforehand and have we ever. this is a huge indication to me that it was a reverse engineered chosen story beforehand (if it was one) or thought of
soooooo
so reversal of that....it didnt give us enough time to breathe with these two at all but for both of the actors they can capitalize what's on the page and the writers didn't. like their dynamic is very i give/you give like taking car eof each other etc that's why
again, no artist worth their salt will ever say their work meant nothing. that's a cover up. i'm sick of lazy production and then getting away with it claiming being subversive or attacking an issue by not doing anything. we show crazy shit all the time but it has a POINT and ur point is "i like the gays" then girl.....i mean it's not great
but the acting really carried it. i have a feeling if this series continues it might continue to use more experienced actors cos maybe the budget goes up but they also have less inhibitions now when it comes to acting. i like the way li chen expresss himself and teng teng too. i like anson a lot and there's some angles that did not do any favors and i think eh has to get more control of his body movements (bc he's SO LARGE and thin) but he wasn't bad at all and there were real human tears. of course i, personally, favor charles tu. he has more control over his body because he has...less to work with and he's a bit bigger and he was really great in this role. he's a himbo a bit of a meathead but you like him. you like them. there's some things i think they had them say and do that they wouldn't let happen if they stuck to the characters and the story (mainly liking that dumb idiot rapist)
what i notice is that the reprehensible actions people criticize others for in the show and in real human life lalways gets turned around. teng teng being surprised that this boy's grandfather boyfriend met him when he was a junior in high school and he's 12 years older and him apologizing for being shocked and then whatshisface going "ur better at it than most people" and then the convo about gao with whatshisface and then rapist brother comes to pick him up. they are admonishing gao but thinking that rapist brother is noble for doin gwhat he did (and oh rapist brother shows up) like the hypocrisy and the decisions are immense. so now it's like "guys see he's a great guy" like girl STICK TO SOMETHING but whatever so i live in this universe where muren and li chen do everything right and have lots of different interesting fun seex with all their friends. i would write this but i cannot i am dying

THAT BEING SAID, heres my list of criticisms for CP2077 so far because i’m not just blindly praising it. under a readmore for a few spoilers, one major character spoiler so if you’re playing don’t read this until youre finished with act 1
this isnt bringing into the account of the criticisms console players are talking about bc im on PC, but i completely agree with frustrated console players about launch being a mess.
the fact that they cut you being able to take jackie with you to go meet with meredith is really frustrating. i wonder if they lost time and it broke something because it was in the gameplay demo from a while back.
on the same vein, t-bugs ‘death’ was so sudden and fast that i didn’t even register it as her supposedly dying until v brings it up later in the level. i thought she had just gotten hurt and booted from the program. if she’s actually dead i’m going to be incredibly disappointed and its going to be one of my few genuine sour notes on the game.
the romances are laughably inserted and shouldn’t have even been part of marketing in my opinion. from my understanding it looks like they’re all sidequests and there’s only like four of them total anyways. dont bother if your v isnt into one of the two options they have and just pretend youre kissin whoever you want lol
takemuras introduction was amazing but i feel like i missed a dialog somewhere that explained why he ended up getting chased by arasaka so fast after the events of act 1. i know his motivation but am a little confused about whats going on.
in the same vein, some optional dialog choices don’t actually feel optional if you don’t want to feel like you’re missing context for whats going on. i don’t mean this in a lore way, i mean this in a basic narrative way. 
i like that v clearly has their own personality that you kinda tweak and manipulate through your own actions, like with geralt in the witcher series. however i completely understand if people were lead to believe they’d be getting COMPLETE FREEDOM and are let down by the reality of V being a slightly less mailable character. as someone who likes witcher and the dragon age and mass effect series i’m okay with my oc having a pre-ordained personality but marketing could easily have misled people to believe otherwise and thats a totally valid complaint.
i love jackie to DEATH and hes one of the most likable videogame characters ever. however i do wonder sometimes if he suffers from ‘bilingual people don’t talk like that’ syndrome. it can get kinda muddy given how translators work in this universe.
in the same vein i think some of the calls for the game being transphobic or misogynist are overblown but i feel like part of it is the game might not be properly relaying that the overly sexual, violent, objectifying advertisements in 2077 is actually part of the lore and not CD trying to be cheeky ala Saints Row. Its a crit on consumerism and how desensitized the populace of the future gets to hatred, violence, and sex that it has to be overblown to the point of ludicracy. it might not translate for someone who hasn’t taken the time to look into the lore or familarize themselves with the vibe of the series before picking up the game. YES it is incredibly gritty and dark, but thats the point. However I think that fact needed to be communicated better because it just won’t be palatable for some people. Its stuff like this that makes me think we really need content warnings ALA fanfic for... all media, really. its a good idea. i could see the ‘fuckable piece of meat’ line being genuinely terrifying for some people and it comes out of nowhere. I like dark media and content but i don’t know if the game properly conveys beforehand that this is a BLEAK. world. BLEAK. 
i also think, unfortunately, its clear the team was crunched and ran out of time for a lot of things they wanted to add into the game. i feel like tying gender to v’s voice was the most elegant solution they had considering all of the voicelines in game. not saying it’s the best solution, but i’m glad they did that rather than tie it to body type or genetalia.
that being said i wish you could have a biotic pussy or dick in this game just bc that would be some cool transhumanism. same in general i wish you could replace limbs or eventually get more cyberware options that changed how you look.
I’m glad they’re gonna fix the epilepsy trigger but I’m also surprised and disappointed no one caught that might be a problem earlier on. I wonder what play testing was like.
Also glad the dev team isnt going to be treated like the new vegas team and they’re getting their bonus regardless of the game’s review score. that’s some stupid bullshit but every publisher does that shit unfortunately.
the fact you cant change your makeup, cybernetics, or hair after the start is dumb and i hope they fix that.
the c key being for crouching AND skipping dialogue is inelegant to say the least. you can fix it in settings for skipping dialogue to be ‘hold c’ but it shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.
ai definitely wasnt finished and it shows. largely in how theres clearly no AI driving and how cops feel half-implimented.
managing stash is CONFUSING. so is the hacking minigame until you get used to it.
it is a LITTLE apparent that you’re going to go into Cutscene Time because characters tell you to sit somewhere specific. However once you’re in those locked scenes the game is still super immersive and beautiful so it’s not too bad.
i don’t understand why youd buy a car when you have one already and a motorcycle but i’ll still probably shop around for funsies
combat definitely feels floaty but ive played bethesda games and nothing can be as bad as those so its fine for me.
i know there’s more but thats what i have so far. I’m having a great time but those are my Thots.
