i know we’re all into gruff and mostly-silent jason, but have we considered that this man just might be a whiner or a whimperer during sex?

i cannot stop thinking about a touchstarved jason getting reduced to little whimpers when it becomes too much.

he’d hold your hips, eyebrows knitted together and head thrown back as you grind against his lap, lips kiss swollen and cheeks flushed a pretty pink.

“give me a second, ‘s too much, fuck, you’re so good—”

#do not perceive me. #maybe i just want jason to whine a lil ): is that too much to ask for #rahhhhhhh don’t look at me!!!!!!!!!!!! i am!!!!!! not okay!!!!!!! #. . . dc 💭 #. . . jason todd 💭 #jason todd x reader smut #jason todd x reader

My unpopular opinion is that in languages with grammatical gender like french, it does make sense for Murderbot to be referred to by whatever pronoun is usually used for robots or constructs. (In french, therefore, grammatical masculine.) Because there are no traditional « it » pronouns in these languages for objects, and while there are neo-pronouns, they are things one must choose for themselves. Do you honestly think MB actually spent time thinking about its pronouns?! No it didn’t. On forms it picks « non-applicable ». When people ask it what pronouns they should use, its honest opinion is « why do you even need to talk about me. Just don’t fucking do that. Don’t think about me either. Just fucking stop perceiving me altogether! »

Thinking about what pronouns to use probably makes it way more uncomfortable than letting people call it what they’ve already been calling it. Making a conscious choice about its identity? And telling other people about it??? No thanks bye, it’s just gonna walk into the ocean now, see you never.

Lbr it probably thinks the only bots that get fancy pronouns are comfort units, and the pronouns are probably shoved into them by humans same as everything else. MB would meet a bot using a neopronoun and it would wish it could barf. Because in a language like french, he/him and she/her, when applied to objects, ARE fulfilling the function of the english « it ». Nobody is saying the table is a woman or related to feminity in any way outside of stand-up comedy; when it comes to objects grammatical gender really has fuckall to do with human gender even if we use the same words. Even animal species names have grammatical gender and everyone gets that there are male and female turtles even if the word « turtle » is a female word, it’s not that confusing.

(I know this is strange when your language has different pronouns for people and for objects, but understand that english uses the same word to indicate if I’m addressing one or many people, and that is confusing to me.)

TL;DR; stop harassing international fans for not getting the correct MB pronoun in english right off the bat. Yes in english calling it « he » or « her » or « them » is upsetting because it’s projecting an identity unto it. But same goes for trying to get a foreign language translation to use a pronoun intended to express or showcase an identity (or even a lack of one!). Murderbot has not thought about it this hard, refuses to think about it this hard -> and that is its only canon accurate gender identity.

#the murderbot diaries #taking a bat to an hornet’s nest there but I said what I said #I go by she/her because that’s the default people use for me even tho my own gender identity is also #ugh I would sincerely prefer not to have to deal with this think about it or even be perceived #and I would be hella pissed if a book of my life came out and people got into fights about my pronouns #trying to assign me the most politically accurate agender pronoun possible #when my own choice has always been specifically to let people call me the default because idc #and I don’t want to be identified by any identifier that might indicate I do care #and using a different pronoun even if its a gender neutral one is a CHOICE! #it does indicate a preference! and caring about it enough to pick a word and tell people about it!!! #Murderbot didn’t pick IT that is specifically the point! #it was used for it and MB just kept going with that #I mean imagine it if wrote down a different pronoun on its ID form one day and someone actually called it that #it would set itself on fire #its discomfort at having made a personal choice and the personal choice being respected would be off the charts #maybe it a later book after hella character development but I just don’t see it happening tbh #respect the agenders who just don’t want to get involved and use the pronoun equivalent of the default avatar that came with the account #PLEASE #that is all

Real question folks.

We all know Optimus’s motto right? Right?

“Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.”

Yeah, that one. You know the one.

But. Like. Issue.

Animals are sentient. Animals like dogs, cats, wild animals, they all have sentience. So like, what do we think the Autobots think about that? How do they feel about the fact that humans (and probably every other species in the galaxy) regularly domesticate, tame, and use other sentient creatures for their own gain? For things like. Entertainment, agriculture, pet-keeping. All that stuff.

Do you think they’re bothered by it? Do yo7 think they look at humans, with our pet dogs, and think

“Wow, this situation is kinda fucked up.”

I mean. Personally , I don’t think they take much issue with it. (Especially cause like there’s instances of them in canon not giving a shit. Buster in IDW. Fluffy Ears in Earthspark. Etc.) I think they understand the difference between sentient and sapient. Like. Humans are sapient. Cybertronians are sapient. Animals are….not? At at least not really. If you want to classify animals as sapient I think you can make that argument but even then you have to agree that their sapience is severely limited compared to like. Human sapience.

So. I don’t know. Do you think the bots get wigged out but human pet ownership, I guess. Because I know what Optimus’s motto is. I know what he says. But like. Do you think maybe he means sapient where he says sentient? Cause I think that makes more sense.

Cause like. He’s advocating for total freedom, right? Equality under law, ability to self determine your own life and destiny. But. Uh. That wouldn’t really work for animals? They’re sentient, yah, but they operate on an instinct level. Not an intellect level. Not that they don’t deserve protections and shit. That’s not the point. The point is like. Do you think Optimus (and the other Bots I guess) differentiate between sentience and sapience when they apply their beliefs. Because if not then they’d have to also be advocating for total animal freedom.

I do not know where I am going with this. But. Do you all see my point???? Please tell me you do. This has been niggling at my brain for years and I just. I cannot stop thinking about it. I don’t know why.

Sentience is not sapience. But the Autobots fight for the freedom of “sentient beings”. This is driving me insane. Do you think they care about a difference? Or do they see humans as monsters for our dominion over animals? Someone help I’m thinking too much about something that doesn’t even matter.

#silkling rambles #transformers #maccadam #also #for those who do not know the difference #sentient is the ability to think and perceive and feel emotions #sapient is the capacity for intelligence and complex problem solving and learning #a big part of sapience is also like. self-awareness. awareness of yourself in the world and your relation to thr world and people around yo #it’s kinda more complicated but that’s the simple version. #so like. a cat is sentient because it can think and feel. it can even learn a little. #but it lacks the higher self-awareness that’s necessary for true sapience #I am rambling again. #someone needs to stop me #why am I fixating on this on 9 pm a Thursday night #I do not know #I just. I just wanted to let my brain vomit out. this has been ratttling and sloshing in my head for years #anyway. thoughts. let me know yours #or don’t #I’m going to shut up now

What inspired the idea of the roommate!series?

So the roommate series was inspired by my living situation since I live with two roommates (they’re both women tho) and inspired by my desire to make something more soft for Ghost

Before I really started writing it, I saw a lot of fics about Ghost being super mean near abusive and it made me upset because why would you want to write him as abusive when you can make him so much more complex than that so I set out to make something more my style.

Also Harry’s House the album inspired a lot of the vibes idk why it just gave me the good vibes of fluff and things about it.

There were also a think a few other roommate fics (not just for COD) that made me go “you know this might be interesting.”

Mainly tho, it was my desire to create a more soft less toxic fic about Ghost because I genuinely don’t think he’d be abusive

#the roommate series #simon ghost riley x reader #simon ghost riley #mw2 ghost #ghost mw2 #a lot of three times #my writing stems from spite #because I can’t stand the thought of someone making my comfort character #abusive or mean #even tho it’s fine if they do #just for me personally #for my own issues #I don’t want to perceive them that way

[storytellering]

Love your art and I'm generally curious as to what the appeal of Dante/Vergil is to you? Do you have any hc that you're drawing from or is it just personal preference? I struggle to imagine the right conditions for them to be involved in that way and would like to know what inspires you.

I will premise this by saying, that I’m actually not a MASSIVE fan of just DV for its own sake, if Nero isn’t also included (or like, with the assumption he will, 100%, be included once he’s in the picture). To me it’s kind of a baseline pairing?

As in, I don’t even have to think about it. Of course they’re in love, of course they’re together, of course they’re fucking. It’s almost an afterthought to me, the way the married parent couple of the protagonist in a story inherently are. It doesn’t necessarily interest me by itself, that fact, it’s just a certainty, it just is. I guess, for me, the interest in DV specifically comes more out of what other people make of it, because for me I’m almost always approaching first from the perspective of Nero being there also, haha.

There’s also the fact that I have a lot of hc about just like, the way demons function as a species, I guess. I took a lot of things dmc canon gave me and went like, “alright, time to project this into the most self indulgent, non-human society but humanoid looking species I can think up in my brainhead”. To me a lot of the appeal comes from it being not necessarily a predestined thing as much as like, a biological inevitability - (going to speak in definitives about my own hc from here on, so not making any statement about canon dmc lol) demons mate with their kin, and with whoever deems worthy - and twins from the same litter would inevitably end up being the other’s first partner, their first choice, their other half. In a sense, to me, they’re soulmates - though honestly I prefer to think of it more as two halves of the same soul, following the implications in 3 and the 3 manga that them being twins comes from the spawn of Sparda being too powerful to just be born in one body. That might sound like I’m just saying they’re soulmates in a different way, but not really - to me, if I had to go the soulmate route, Nero would be both of their soulmate - because the two of them make one single soul, and the match to that would be Nero’s.

I kind of just go off of the assumption that they are in love and have been since they were in the womb, you know?

That colors the way I see their every interaction. To me, in their fighting, their squabbles and their feuds, there’s always love at the source. Familial, yes, but romantic and sexual as well - and to me, when I think about them, it’s all one and the same. To love each other like family is to be intwined, is to be mated, is to be a pack and is to be one.

That’s the more deep thoughts I have about it, I have more shallow/surface thoughts (and specifically ship dynamic thoughts about like, what appeals to me about them sexually lol) but if I had to quickly sum it up that’s what I would say, I think. 

#Sorry if this is a bit jumbled/all over the place lol #I actually never really stopped to think about it besides just liking it i guess #Like to me things like dante’s lines to vergil read as flirting the fights read as full of tension #every time I see them fighting I could very easily picture them just stopping mid stab to make out yknow #I guess it also comes down to how much you personally like conflict in a ship #or how much rivalry/fighting reads as charged or tension to you #Plus again the whole demon thing #And in a way also ig I just really like thinking of demon twins as a mating pair #I like them hybrid the best but in that context I do like to hc vergil as super fertile and Dante as near infertile #and them navigating this nature in a sense of like. It’s not what they want out of life. #It’s not what they naturally gravitate towards nor what they would choose if it were up to them. #But its nature and its playing cruel tricks on them #and ig in a way to me that’s a feeling I like to project as a trans allegory #I don’t often veer to making characters trans in a realistic human way bc it hits a bit too close to home #And rather I prefer adding a lot of things that are exactly like being trans but not in a human way #And I think that’s that to me yknow? #Nature + instinct imposing something on you that you have to actively struggle against for the rest of your life #And compensating and making yourself be perceived as who you feel yourself to be despite of it #Yes this is still all about weird demon pseudo omegaverse bullshit no I cannot physically hold myself back from getting into it #asks #vague mpreg allegory/mention #thank you for the question! lots of food for thought lol #spardacest

when homeboy G was making me he just hit copy and paste on my dad and slapped some tits on

#shitpost #every day I am faced with the fact I am SO my fathers daughter #(not a girl) #don’t think too much about the homeboy g thing I just thought I’d I only said god people would think I believed in a god #and i do not want that. that makes me feel very uncomfortable personally #that people would perceive me as such #but anyway! me and my dad are like if two sides of the same coin were one coin #we r so much alike it is. WOAG #he got home and was like hey quil check out this thing I learned in my class #and i went wow check out this thing I learned in MY class #and he went wow #because we have fucking.

No questions or comments, jus wanted to say that I love your pornstar ghost! Plz don't ever stop writing <33

this is one hundred percent one of those comments that I’m tempted to print out and keep for the rest of my wee life because 💕🥹 aah, thank you !!

#it’s the ‘don’t ever stop writing’ that gets me every time #the past few days have been so overwhelming in all the best ways with all the love I’ve received for ps!ghost #but at the same time the more excited people get the more anxious and afraid I get of being a let down haha #of posting something that people don’t enjoy #I tell myself that it doesn’t matter as long as I enjoyed writing it but we all need and want that validation #we want to receive unconditional love for who we are for what we do #but sometimes it’s tough to feel deserving of any of that #sorry I didn’t mean to be sad hahaha #this just made me feel all the feels because for a short moment today a part of me was convinced that I should just delete my blog #because of the fear of being perceived and potentially judged #but you telling me to keep writing was the encouragement I needed #because not everything will be perfect and not everything will be as loved as something else but that’s all good #that’s alright #eek it’s 4 am!! #I love you #lo answers

[extasiswings]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the fact that the thing Eddie most firmly and explicitly articulated in the aftermath of Shannon’s death, the loss of the last person he loved anywhere close to this, was “Christopher needs me to be in control”…yeah, this fallout is gonna hurt.

The Spring semester has officially started, which means I am now fully preparing for my comps, a two-hour oral exam that I have to take in order to officially become a PhD candidate. I have to read ninety books by May, latest August : )

I’ve gotten started with the most exciting of my three reading lists: the Gothic!! Basically, my reading is going to be a journey of getting a comprehensive overview of all things 19th-century British/Victorian literature, 19th-century Latin American literature, and the Gothic. I’ve already gotten started with my first five books, but I thought the other day: I feel like video reviews of each book would be a fantastic way to remember the important information about each of the readings. Nothing crazy or long, just a 2-5 minute review of the book and why it’s important if you want to become a student of the literature.

Anyways, I like this idea a lot and I feel like sharing it on my old bookstagram or on TikTok would be a nice way to get a dopamine hit for the reviews — if anyone were to watch or react to my reviews, I know it would make reviewing the books all the more fun!

But . . . And this is a big but . . . Then that would mean that I’d be opening myself to being perceived. And that’s really embarrassing to me. Like, what if I make a video and nobody gives a fuck? That’s so embarrassing. What if I make a video and a student or someone in my program sees it? Mortifying. It really does seem fun and a small part of me really want to do it but man, oh man, would I be scared!!

#personal #i am still struggling to kill the part of me that cringes #in my little fantasy world I’d just upload videos regularly about my journey to becoming a phd candidate #and invite anybody who wants to learn more about vampires and ghosts and period romances to follow along and read with me!!! #or just enjoy the reviews : ) #and the videos would be easy and low-key no bells or whistles but it would feel like a joy to post and share #and the sense that ANYONE was watching would also help keep me accountable with my reading schedule and not fall off the band wagon #that all said i probs wont do it bc I’m too afraid dude!! I don’t wanna be PERCEIVED

[danothan]

honestly a good 40% of why i still havent made a ns4w art blog despite wanting to is bc i haven’t found any community around it so it feels scary out there all by myself. why can’t tumblr have a mutuals only option where i can post my little superhero cuddlefucks to a limited audience and call it a day

#WHERE ARE THE NS4W ART BLOGS!!! WHERE ARE THEY!!! #i only follow ONE count em ONE ☝️ #danbles #i’ll work up the courage one day #the other 40% is what if someone says smth i don’t like. what if i get mad. i don’t wanna be mad #sigh. rly all this amounts to is the mortifying ordeal of vulnerability and being perceived 😔 #and the other 20% is laziness lmao #I DO WANT TO THO I PROMISE i just want everything to be perfect first #and i’m too lazy to test out formats before i let ppl follow 😔👊
