A/N: I cannot state enough how attractive Itto is.

Itto always brings you flowers and his favorite candy even if you don't always have place to put the flowers in, or eat the candy

He just loves knowing that your home is filled with his things and gifts

You can always feel him watching you from afar, keeping you safe

When he notices anyone approaching you with what he deems ill intentions he won't hesitate to scare them away

Sometimes you don't even notice he does it

He's always up early so he can walk with you to work, there's no way he's gonna leave his favorite girl all by herself

He notices you're talking to a lot of people more, very attractive people too

"You're not cheating on me are you?" He growls next to your ear as he pushes you against the wall of your house

Of course not, how could you be? You're not dating

Well in Itto's mind you are, that's why he's being so nice and caring

You're not cheating, you can't be, he's the best boyfriend isn't he? "Oh I know, how could I be so dumb. You miss me don't you? I'm sorry sugar, I've been neglecting you. How about we spend the whole day, no the whole weekend together? You'd like that right?" He's getting closer and closer, his voice more desperate, his eyes wider and darker

He grabs your chin and crashes his lips against yours in a borderline painful way

There's something sliding down your throat, sweet and warm, and your world goes dark

When you wake up you're in his house, your naked and you're hot and your pussy is aching to be filled up

"You're awake. Hey sweetheart. How are you feeling?" You turn your head to see Itto, also naked, with an almost feral grin on his face as he's stroking his hard as a rock cock

You can't help but moan at the sight of it, you don't know why but you know it's what you need right now, "Aww are you needy right now? We're you needy all along and you didn't know how to say it? I'm glad the aphrodisiacs' helped, I took some too. Can't let you be the only one having fun."

Itto turned you on your back and spread your bend legs at the knees, keeping a firm grip while his cock rubbed between your legs, hitting your clit every time

"I can feel it. You want me as badly as I want you. Say it sweetheart. Say you want my fat cock inside you. Say you want me to split you open and claim you." He looks like he's going to explode is he doesn't sink his throbbing cock in your pussy

You're feeling dizzy and hot and horny, you need him, you're so conflicted, a part of you wants to run or else be torn apart by him, but another part wants his dick

As you begin to chant his name it's clear which part won over

Itto doesn't hold back, he can't, he needs to fuck you, to claim you inside and out

His cock is spreading you open, rubbing inside you in the most delicious say as he moves his hips with such force you're a little afraid he's gonna break your bones

He would never, no he would never hurt you, only bring you endless pleasure

"Let me bite you." He growls in between quick thrusts, "Let me make you mind. My mate. Mine. Fucking mine." You can barely concentrate on his words from the pleasure his cock is giving you, "You feel great. Oh fuck. Taking me better than I expected. You're gonna take my cum too ain't you? I can come inside right? Right?" He's almost fully feral now, his pace brutal and his eyes shining gold as he licks your neck in preparation to bite it

He can, he will, you want it, your mind and body are no longer fighting that desire, you've always wanted him, and now you can have him, have his love, have his cock, forever

As he sinks his teeth into you your orgasm rocks through your body, your nails leaving red marks around his shoulders and biceps, almost matching the ones he already has

He's growling and snarling against the bite, coming inside of you in huge loads, his cock pounding against the entrance of your womb, where his cum should belong, where it does belong

"I'm so happy right now. I love you sweetheart. Don't you worry about a thing. You'll never have to worry about anything ever again. I'm here for you now. I'll always be here okay?" He kisses your forehead in a very sweet, tender way before he flashes you his signature grin

And you can't help but smile back as you take him gently by the horns and pull him into a kiss

wip wednesday! (it is thursday)

Thank you so much @thevikingwoman for the tag!! As is becoming custom I am here to drop some nonsense from before school beat me with a stick. Idk how close ghost of you part 3 is to being done because I'm pretty sure it's gonna end up having a part 4 LOL, but here is the beginning!

I'm not gonna tag anyone rn bc I lack the brain capacity but pls feel free to share and pretend I tagged you! It's wip wednesday-thursday ♥

--

Moiraine always had a knack for compartmentalizing.  She never thought much about it, really, it was just the way her mind worked.  She was like her father, who could love his family one day and very nearly forget they existed the next, because he was so involved in his latest project that he had simply…tucked them safely away somewhere, to be loved properly at a more convenient time.

Anvaere’s mind does not work the same way, and nor did their mother’s.  For them, Father’s occasional abandonment seeped into everything around it, the proverbial fruit of the poisonous tree.  By their estimation, he did not get to love them one day and leave them the next, and in retrospect, Moiraine supposes she can understand that.

In practice it was rather miserable, though.  Anvaere moped, while their mother made a hobby of building resentment.

Moiraine considers in passing that she’s doing a rather magnificent job of encompassing both of her family’s tried and true traditions in her misery, hiding herself away most of the time, but still managing to make the whole place intolerable when she is present.

It would be much easier, she thinks, if Lan would just leave her alone.  Neither Verrin nor Adeleas has any desire for Moiraine’s company—and rightly so.  They are perfectly happy to aid their sister in her time of need without demanding the wretched details.  One doesn’t hear much about women being stilled, but then again, one doesn’t need to.  The mention alone is chilling.  They understand even without any comparable experience.

But Lan keeps on knocking at her door, keeps inviting her to meals, inviting her on walks, inviting her to do anything, anything at all, anything she wants, and she doesn’t know how to tell him that there is nothing she wants anymore, and there never can be.

She tells herself it is something of a relief to be free of the notion that she might set herself right again.  It would have been a colossal waste of time.  Better to be done with it now and move onto what is important.  After all, she herself hardly matters.  She let Rand go because she’d thought the matter was done with, but she realized quickly that it wasn’t, and now she needs to ascertain what will come next.

It’s something to occupy her mind, but there’s no joy in chasing down the mystery.  Her days are filled with dead ends and tiresome visitors who overplay their hands.  They misjudge Moiraine because the way to determine how much leverage one holds is to guess what the other person wants, what the other person cares for, and they do not understand that Moiraine wants nothing and cares for nothing.

In all their years traveling together, Lan has never once snapped at her like that.  There was a time when it would have brought her a sick sort of delight.  She used to try all the time to get a rise out of him, to make him lash out at her so she could feel justified cutting him off.  She’d never had someone so steady in her life, and it confused and frightened her.

His outburst reaches her, in a way.  She realizes she can’t go on like this hoping he’ll eventually stop trying.  She resolves to leave under cover of night, hoping at least that he is angry enough with her not to notice her missing right away.

She hadn’t counted on three Fades.  One, perhaps, if she were very unlucky.  But Moiraine herself is not particularly important, and certainly not at the moment.  She led the Dragon to the Eye of the World, yes, but it’s not as though the Dark didn’t get something out of that.  By all accounts she should be less than nothing now.  An Aes Sedai who cannot channel?  Who has no Warder, no family, no friends left to look out for her?

With a terrible lurching sensation, suddenly Moiraine is in two places at once.  She is here and not here, lying on the ground outside Verrin’s estate and back at the Eye of the World, and somehow, Lan has found her yet again.  He finds her without the bond, without magic, without anything to guide him.  Moiraine feels more than she’s felt in months.  She feels angry, and relieved, and devastated.  He can’t be here.  They cannot keep doing this.

If Moiraine is still a target, then she has to get Lan away from her.  She can’t keep him safe like this, and he’ll die trying to protect her because it’s what he’s sworn to do.  She doesn’t know what she’s been doing up until now, hoping he’d tire of her coldness and drift away on his own.  It was selfish of her.  She didn’t want to strike the killing blow, make him really hate her, make the split impossible to reconcile.

But what would be really, unforgivably selfish would be to keep him around when she knows it will get him killed.  It would be a senseless death, defending something that’s no longer worth the price.

Necessity doesn’t make the burden any easier to bear.

(Big of a long one, sorry)

I just came across another one of those "if you put your Hogwarts houses in your bio you're a terf" posts, and in the tags one of the people was talking about how they had a Gryffindor tshirt that was their favourite thing to wear which they just threw away because they'd rather never have such a thing touch them again. Fair enough, what anyone is comfortable with in their personal life is none of my business. But it did remind me of something similar that happened with me.

I own a perfectly good Fantastic Beasts t-shirt. It's the kind that has a simple design and good enough material to last YEARS. I did, of course, buy it before I knew about all this JKR business. Then couple of years ago I was faced with the fact that I own some HP merch and the dilemma of whether or not I should throw it away. This surprisingly came down to a moment where I properly understood and defined my own politics to myself.

At the same time that I had some people in my circles insisting on these performative measures, I was also learning about fast fashion and the very real impacts of clothing trends on the environment. After reading up on it enough and seeing the gross appropriation of "thrifting", it became obvious that the solution is to "reduce" waste, to stop buying more clothes than you need, to stop throwing away perfectly good clothes, to stitch up clothing that needs mending instead of replacing it, etc. The best clothing for the environment is the one already in your closet. That idea. Was I going to make an exception in this case and throw away this t-shirt because someone might think me a class traitor for it, even though whether I keep it or discard it doesn't actually change the support JKR doe or doesn't have anymore? On the one hand it was just one tshirt and it would keep me safe from my peers in those liberal circles. On the other hand it made me feel shame like i had never felt before. It reminded me of every other performative thing I've done in the name of activism and how little it has amounted to. I'm the kind of person who still has my wardrobe from five years ago almost intact with very few changes. Wasteful consumption has a very real cost and I don't do that anymore, so when it came down to tossing that tshirt out it ended up meaning more than it should have. I kept the tshirt. It's still in great shape, it's gonna last many years more as well and save me that much more consumption waste.

What if i had given it away? Would some random person who hasn't ever heard of the JKR drama (consider: I'm not from the West) suddenly become a Terf by wearing it? Would it keep HP and JKR relevant because some person who hardly even knows HP is now wearing a second hand tshirt from someone? When I went to another trans friend's house, who has been there for the community every single day, who has worked hard at the ground levels to create safe spaces for queer people, who has advocated for trans rights in our country, and when i saw their HP merch, what kind of an asshole would I be to call them out on it or say that I suddenly don't trust them because they made a reference to some book we all read as kids? In that moment, sitting with that friend, I also realised how far removed our day-to-day lives actually are from what was considered activism in online spaces. The latter can be great when it's about spreading information and having discussions. But something that reeks that much of simply a performance? Idk, I don't think people talking about HP in their daily lives or wearing an old Gryffindor tshirt or reblogging a gif has as much power over the queer struggle as people here seem to think. It's getting a bit annoying how because I see more posts talking about HP just to tell people who are engaging with it to die than i see actual posts by people just talking about the book. I think the former are the ones actually keeping it more relevant than it is

15 people 15 questions!!!!

Tagged by @suzufield thank you yay ^^

This is a long one so it's under the cut and also idgaf I love hearing myself talk I love the sound of my own voice!!!!

Not really, my given name is that of a saint like most names from here tbh, but my mom picked it because it's short and she wanted people from everywhere around the world to be able to say it which is kind of cute. I don't have chosen name I have like 3 nicknames people alternate between, one of them is Ani or AniGC which I use on the internet and I don't plan on picking one I think not having a name is cool!

1. Are you named after anyone?

2. When was the last time you cried?

Nope, too young, and also having my own kids or parenting/fostering is not something I am fit to ever do I don't think I would be a good parent. I'm a lesbian so biological kids are kind of out the window (not really but don't want them regardless, better safe than sorry on this matter I think). I would love to work with kids though at least once in my lifetime.

Genuinely yesterday I love crying I cry all the damn time it helps me fall asleep. What the libs don't want you to know is that depression is actually awesome because you can cry all the fucking time and you don't need sleeping medication! Yay for mental illness!

3. Do you have kids?

4. What sports have you played/do you play?

I did karate for 8 or 9 years from ages of like 6-14, loved it, then I fell down the stairs and fucked up my spine and had to quit. Then I did swimming for a bit but nothing too serious and I quit that because I got bored now I do fuck all.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Yes a lot but I try to not get too irony poisoned lol, I mostly just say outlandish shit but I do use sarcasm.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

I couldn't tell you if you put a gun to my head. I don't fucking know 😭

7. Eye colour?

Brown! ^^

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

This is a strange one I'm not really big on either of these things. When it comes to horror I'm not really a fan of movies I feel like a thing inherently becomes a little less scary when you show it to me or when it's moving you know? Idk I like some of them but I really do enjoy horror books those are awesome. And for the other thing I don't know is it a happy ending for me or the characters? Like I enjoy all plot threads being tied together well but if that doesn't make my fav happy GOOD. Let that bitch suffer. To actually answer the question I think scary movies lmao.

9. Any talents?

Why yes I'm very awesome. Idk I'm a fast learner genuinely that's the biggest thing I've got going on I think almost everything I know I learned on my own accord, it was never given to me, and idk I'm kind of proud of that idgaf if it sounds corny. I can also dislocate my thumb that's kind of cool.

10. Where were you born?

In the hospital (Serbia but I don't like saying where I'm from too much I want to remain a Mysterious Figure On The Computer and now you have to ignore the fact that I frequently post about this)

11. What are your hobbies?

Running the risk of sounding like a loser nerd I love studying I love learning things if I could stay in school for the rest of my life I genuinely would. I love learning how shit works and I'm gonna be honest organic chemistry has been among my favourite things to study ever it's so perfectly logical and awesome one of the best sciences ever for sure. Besides that I like doing fuck all and taking the piss on the internet.

12. Do you have any pets?

Nope! Small apartment and not enough money or time to take care of them. One day I will get a cat though trust.

13. How tall are you?

184cm that's like 6'0" I think?

14. Favourite subject in school?

Idk probably physics. High school level chem was incredibly fucking boring I didn't even have to fart to get good grades. Math and programming were my original beloveds but I fell out of love with them very soon after starting high school due to bad experiences with teachers. So yeah probably physics idk the only subjects I think about at this point are the ones I'll have next year in college I can't fucking wait for atomistics.

15. Dream job?

I feel like a fucking idiot being at my age and telling people I want to be a scientist but like!!!!!! I do I genuinely do!!!! I want to be a researcher and do cool things I want to be entranced by the work I do maybe this sounds so incredibly optimistic because it's likely that if I become a researcher I'll be eating packet noodles for the rest of my life but!! That's my dream!!!

I cannot be assed to tag 15 people I'm sorry also I think everyone and their mom has done this at this point so I'll tag. 3 take it or leave it! Sorry if any of you have done this already 😭. Also if you haven't but don't want to that's fine lmao no pressure

#THEY LET ME OFF THE FUCKING BUS FINALLY

[enniewritesathing]

discussion post #2 (i think?)

This may have been a small update but More Things happened and we gotta talk about it. (Or, I'm gonna talk about it.) More like a ramble, really.

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Speculation? Let's talk about it. 🤔

Behind the Scenes stuff:

first off, I wouldn't have the ability to even remotely do ANY of this part without @anothersimsstory's CC conversions and I'm glad I had the foresight of downloading it when I did. (they didn't delete their shit or anything but you know how it is sometimes) and the monitor by Theraven (I don't think they have a tumblr? they have a forum tho), and the EKG leads by @jellypawss. It really pays to make niche CC!!

I had to make swatches for the monitor since it is an important visual thing... but it was wholly contingent on me finding something that's close to actual vital signs and I looked everywhere but they were all stock images and obviously didn't work for what I needed. I then had to search high and low for for it, but I found it. For real!! I had to use TWO laptops (one for settings and the other for the actual monitor) and I screenshotted it, slapped it into paint to save it, make it a swatch, rinse/repeat for I think 15? idk how many

you may think, Ennie, that's a bit much, and I say, my attention to detail game is insane when it doesn't need to be but dammit, the visuals have to make sense from a glance. That and the offchance of someone who knows read the monitor would point something out about it. That said! I tried parcing out what EtCo2 is but all I got from it is was "high number bad".

seriously, I spent... a Stupid amount of time setting that up. 🅱️lease clap for me -- I can safely say that I don't think anyone else would go that far.

I told myself after finishing The Incident I was not gonna be doing 5/6 rigs all in one shot again. (🤡)

The lighting situation drove me up the damn wall and after a point, I just said fuck it. What I didn't anticipate was the stark contrast of John and The Werewolf talking and the memory in terms of setting. It's really cool, I think.

I fretted over this part the whole time because I didn't know what order I wanted and what I was going for, but I think I escalated it properly.

For The Werewolf's veins, I had to do the ol' S4S shuffle, but they are a combination of 3, maybe 4 and ofc had to make outfits for the progression, which is why he's still rocking the half-sleeve look (and from an age/timeline stand point makes him 21/22ish). You know what, let's look at them again!

it's a good look

Speaking of... I had to make a lot of The Werewolf solo poses and I found out that uh, it's all in the brows; they can completely change the meaning. It's bad enough with the angles and the general body language. (Or maybe not? Eh.)

Another visual thing -- The Big Scene... that one, I had going back and forth with it until I decided going all white for The Werewolf's eyes (or lack of pupils). It was far more striking and way scarier than the 'blank' eyes I tend to go with.

seriously, I contemplated on tagging it as a jump scare.

Oh! and the shaking of 3 pics, that was spur of the moment because I really kept going back into the post and something was just missing. I have a (cracked) PhotoMosh and I played with the setting a bit and bingo.

It is probably my favorite post so far. I had to settle with the fact that it's not gonna be the one to be spread around. Or any of it really.

Story Stuff:

There's so many crumbs in this! So. Many. There's even a loaf of bread or two. If you tell me what you're picking up on and you're on some kind of track, you get a cookie (🍪). (I'm serious, btw)

John's clearly shook. This may be the first time we've really seen him like this. And The Werewolf is nonchalant... (I will admit John looks very pretty when he's like this lol)

...or is he? I think there are more cracks in the dam than you'd think. A while back in a post that's somewhere on this blog, but John has a tendency to play with his hands when he's anxious.

Another thing that I just noticed is that they didn't really look at each other; I wonder what that's all about?

I've said it once and I'll say it again; even though they share the same body, John and The Werewolf look very different from one another, and I think that's neat.

Jordan being real about taking advantage of the fact that they're getting paid $$$ and they'd be dumb to not take up the offer.

I had to remember that Brian did not know John was a werewolf at this point in time, or even begin to really put 2+2 together. I call it a bit of genre blindness, helped by the fact that this didn't happen all the time. He just rolled with it. Also, wow he looks very young without his tats; ofc this was the college years and he was beginning to fill out/eating good.

Mark is the smartest dude in the whole story. He said, nope, nuh uh, I'm OUT. IYKYK.

There were so many pics I wanted to take of Daniel punching The Werewolf right in the solar plexus (or thereabouts it might've been slightly lower than that). As they say in the FGC, he failed to block that overhead.

I'm glad I decided to leave in the fact that The Werewolf couldn't see too well.

The Werewolf blew his vocal cords out screaming. He said that shit with his soul. Rarely do I go with the funky text with him since that's his "big scary werewolf" voice (that and he rarely speaks like that). My man said "I'll make you suffer my pain." Beautiful. Can't wait to see how that plays out.

That said, The Werewolf did work himself up to the point of nearly killing himself on accident. But as Charles predicted, his body hit the emergency button and shut that shit down.

I spent the most time worried about this part because it needed to get the point across without it being so... cheesy?

also, I have to say? The Werewolf is a Swearwolf. *rimshot*

The Fucking Around part has ended... The Finding Out part is really going to be fun to watch. (I mean, you can already do this if you haven't but now you have way more context.)

There's something about The Werewolf that's becoming apparent (to us). He's still holding back on his actual feelings. Not only that... he hasn't gotten to John himself and I think that's where it's really gonna go down. John knows this; he's not naive to think that he didn't have a role in all of this too. Something to think about.

Charles is a flat out Nasty Man (very derogatory) and yet, I kinda enjoy writing it.

I do love how he is formal with names, "dear ____" and referring to John's formal name Johnathan.

which I always forget this mfer is named Johnathan. Nobody calls him that.

#ennie rambles #spoilers #story discussion #i think that might be it or at least at this time #i may add to it via reblog if i think of something else #thoughts? comments? concerns? speculation?

[lafortis]

and just gonna follow that up... if you're counting calories, that's disordered eating bud. idk if the tag means you're aware of that or just trying not to trigger people, but yeah. please don't starve yourself :(

HUGE content warning for eating disorders under the read more (spoilers, I don't have one, I recommend just not reading at all if you do)

The tag is because I know the discussion of anything like that is triggering to those with eating disorders, not cus I consider myself to have an eating disorder lol. I promise I'm waaaay too lazy to get disordered about my thinking regarding my diet. I eat a good 40% of my meals at a banquet hall anyway, so my caloric estimates are spitballing for that portion of it. Mostly I'm tracking stuff because even just writing things down is enough to reconsider certain dietary choices, but no, I'm not starving myself or ignoring my body's signals. Because I'm making a conscious effort to eat healthily I feel better than I have in months if not years tbqh.

Like listen, I get where you're coming from. Things like CICO and other various fairly mild dieting concepts being indicative of eating disorders is a helpful truism to offer those recovering from eating disorders. I'll take this Reddit thread as an example because it's the best discussion I could find of such a thing: https://old.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/wry6m1/disordered_eating_the_inaccuracy_of_tdee_and_the/

But the conclusion the OP makes is that people are using these tools in disordered ways, not that the tools themselves are disorder-inducing. The very first response OP has (that I could see) is agreeing to the sentiment that precise and obsessive adherence to their TDEE calculator is the disordered part and they're still perfectly useful as guesstimaters as long as you don't think that they're more than that. And again, this isn't a helpful sentiment to express to someone recovering from an eating disorder, because they don't need to hear that nuance or mollification of users of such tools, they just need to stop using them completely because they're going to lead to further harm.

But importantly, I do not personally have any particular eating disorder, nor have I ever had one, to the best of my knowledge. I take Vyvanse, which suppresses my hunger sometimes so I go on 14 hour coke fuelled gaming binges, but that's different. I am fully capable of monitoring my caloric intake (the restriction of which to healthily and safely reduce your weight is fairly widely agreed upon as a practice, as long as it is healthily and safely adhered to) without sliding too far into something unsafe for me; I've done it before, and I can do it again. I fuckin chopped a tree down yesterday. I work on my feet for goodly portions of the day. You can rest assured that you don't need to tell me that I gotta feed myself properly, because the consequences would be pretty immediate if I didn't.

Again, none of this should be read by pretty much anyone with an eating disorder (in fact I think I'll put it under a read more), because it's like telling a depressed person to simply not be sad. However, when you're not affected by that disorder, sometimes it really isn't that complicated. Many many people the world over undertake similar regimens safely. It's about the most normal form of dietting one can pursue. Now if dieting itself is a triggering concept, then yeah, that's a bad thing. Thatll be bad for you. But for me it is not. I am a relatively healthy 28 year old able-bodied man who has had a couple #neurodivergences throughout his life but nothing to do with his diet. I know I sound like an idiot explaining to you that I'm a big boy who can take care of himself (altho I am and I can), but I'm trying to get across the point that I think the message you're providing is a really good sentiment to the wrong person entirely lol.

Anyway I still very much appreciate the concern and compassion. I promise if there were ever to be truly any negative consequences to this pattern of behaviour I would bitch out in maybe five days tops because I am weak willed and love comfort more than almost anything else. The reason I am able to do a 500 calorie deficit at all is because it is truly so so so easy. I eat more on days when I do hard stuff anyway, altho my tracker is all about them averages so it don't rly care day to day. And I weigh myself not because I care about my weight but so that macrofactor can have data to work with to help it's estimates of my energy expenditure. I promise I am using the tool safely. I own and use an angle grinder regularly, you should probably be more worried about a splintered cutting wheel splitting my facemask or tearing out my jugular than that I starve myself (because I'm really not; I love food and anything that prevented me from enjoying enough food would not even be entertained)

#truly tho i do appreciate your concern anon i dpnt mean to come off as harsh

[ginaporterr]

tbh i am kinda worried if the chocolates are a part of season 4, because ricky lied (even if it wasn’t maliciously) and joked (not malicious as well, but still bad) about them, especially since she hates liars. and especially because it’s been months. it’s honestly the one worry i have about their dynamic, weirdly because i came across a pro-portwell fanfic around the time when the alternate script of their first kiss came out from that aroundthewaygirl person because it was in the rina tag and it made me rethink how bad it kind of is, especially because nini is kind of mentioned like he was shielding himself “and i was going through such a weird time with” idk sjdjdjfj

pws don't really have the best track record so i wouldn't worry about their thoughts on the show ksdfhkdjf

re gina saying she hates liars, i feel like that’s kind of addressed with the scene at the end of 3x07. i'm pretty sure gina's fully aware that ricky's not being honest about what was caught on camera and that he’s choosing to lie about it bc she just broke up with ej, considering that he blatantly pauses for a few seconds to think of what to say and his change of tone after she tells him about the break up. they’re also just generally pretty receptive of each other, so imo her saying

is moreso geared towards ricky lying about his confession bc it wouldn’t be right to tell her at the time, rather than the ‘carlos looks majestic in his olaf costume’ thing

and tying that into the chocolates, ricky lying about the chocolates was in a similar vein; he was thinking of gina’s feelings. i can't speak on the chocolates to too much of an extent bc it's still not fully canon yet so we don't truuuuly know ricky's intentions, but my belief has always been that he knows what it feels like to feel forgotten by his mom and he didn't want that for gina, which is supported by the original script, "i knew you… needed something. or deserved something." and diving back into how gina would feel about it, it would be going behind her back for a good reason, which…………

it's obviously a bit more nuanced than that and i think that it'll cause tension. but ultimately in regards to lying, there's a fundamental difference between the lies ej told that gina hated & the lies ricky told, ricky only ever really lied in consideration of gina's feelings.

i’ve said this before, but one of the biggest qualms i have with the original confession is that i don’t want ricky to tell her that he got the chocolates bc that negates the reason that he got them in the first place – so gina wouldn’t think her mom had forgotten about her. it’s meant to be a selfless act. if the chocolates are brought up in s4, i’m hoping that they change their approach to it and i think that would address most of the concerns you have. the conflict about timing would be different bc instead of it being ricky keeping something from gina until it could benefit him, it would be a she was never supposed to find out type of thing.

idk if i would necessarily say that he’s using the nini mention to shield himself, i think it’s meant to serve as an admission of him having harbored feelings for gina for a while with an attempt to explain why he never acted upon them, and gina deserves that explanation. it wouldn't have been fair to gina for ricky to make it seem like there's something between them while he was still holding on so tightly to his relationship with nini bc it felt safe & comfortable in the face of his fear of change. ricky didn’t necessarily handle things the best way but it would’ve been significantly worse if he had dragged gina into it all.

they’re teenagers, they’re not perfect and ricky definitely didn’t handle things perfectly in s2. but it’s understandable & you can see where he’s coming from considering everything he’s going through. and if anyone’s gonna understand him, it’s gina.

all that to say, i think a chocolates reveal would cause some tension between the two but tension that can be resolved, bc gina would understand that ricky ultimately lied to her bc he didn't want her to feel alone. so yeah, idk if this alleviated any of your concerns regarding the chocolate theory possibly becoming canon, but i hope this makes some sort of sense bc i had to type this all up twice & my brain's a little fried SJSHFSKJF

omg hello hello! i haven't been here in so long ╥﹏╥

how have you been? i hope you are doing well! (≡^∇^≡)

idk if this has been already requested but please i need some Stu Macher dating headcanons cause i love him so much and he has been on my mind so much lately ≧﹏≦

Plus my boy deserve more attention!!

Remember to take care of yourself!! Have a great day/night!! <3

and for your does oh wholesome memes:

Hello welcome back and oh boy I haven't written much for Stu so I think this is gonna be very fun for me. I haven't written much about him on his own so I'm sorry if this sucks and stuff.

Dating Stu Macher Head cannons (gn reader)

Warnings: Strong language and mentions of stalking

Oh boy Stu's gonna catch feeling and catch them hard for you. Billy will pick up on it quickly and constantly drag him about it while Stu ignores him.

He won't really pursue you until Billy is on board. Once Billy likes you he's gonna start flirting with you.

He's gonna stalk you a bit ngl. Follow you home on your walk from school. Watch you in classes and hallways too.

He's gonna be a very dumb flirter. Like his idea of flirting is shitty pick up lines and asking you out on a date. He'd say shit like "I think you dropped something when you walked past me, it's my jaw." or asking you out on a date would be something like, "So I was thinking maybe we could watch some horror movies together over at my place later. You know like, hang out and shit."

He chose's horror movies because he's obsessed with them but also because you can jump into his arms in you get scared. But in the end this is where he professes his love and the two of you start dating.

Honestly Billy will tag along a lot on the stuff you do together. Billy's very important to Stu so having Billy like you is very much a must, but because you two are dating Billy does like you and he will show his approval for the relationship.

Has money to spend and will spend it on you. You tell him about an interest you have like something about wanting to be an author and needing a new type writer for something and the next day a brand new type writer is on your doorstep with a little love note that Billy helped with.

If you want new clothes he's quick to help you buy some. If you're on the bigger side and you can't find any clothes that fit you (because it's the 90's and we know how anyone over a size 6 is considered fat) he will find someone to make you clothes or will splurge on clothes that will fit you. He just wants his lovely s/o to be happy.

Very physically affectionate with you. Like loves to be touching you all the time. If he can pick you up he will and if he can't he's gonna start lifting weights. Loves to cuddle and hold hands. Not afraid to make out with you at a party.

No bodies gonna mess with you, ever. Anyone makes fun of you for anything, say the word and Stu will take care of it. He's not gonna tell you about the ghostface stuff for awhile but he's still gonna be sure to keep you safe.

If you have a job he will offer to drive you to and from work whenever you need it and will frequent the store just to see you. You could work at a hardware store and he'll make up some excuse about needing to fix something in his house or whatever.

If you're shorter than him (because let's be honest he's 6'4 and built like a light pole) he's gonna tease you a lot about how short you are and do that thing where tall people rest their arm on the top of other peoples heads and shit. But if you're taller than him he's gonna be in awe at first but enjoy knowing what it's like to be short.

Loves sharing things with you. His closet is your closet Y/n, feel free to wear anything he has in there.

I know you write so I hope you don't mind me bringing this to you, Apparently something is happening at Ao3 to do with board membership and someone running for it could cause really strict censorship rules to be put in place. I only started writing few months ago and if this actually does happen I'm worried I could lose all the stuff since I've wrote since it's all explicit and some of it is pretty controversial.

yeah I've seen a post about it on my dash a couple times and finally took a look at the original transcript. there's a fairly new employee running for the board, and she's openly advocating for censorship with the classic "we need to be socially responsible" bullshit - which, for anyone who has been around fandom and fic spaces for longer than couple years, the pattern is always the same. once the banning starts it's never gonna stop, it goes from "problematic" content to queer content to smut in general, all under the "protect the children" excuse.

ao3's entire point right now is that it's the one place where writers can safely post their fiction. because they understand fictional people don't get hurt and people themselves are responsible for reading the tags and deciding if the work is something they want to read, just like people check warnings on video games and horror movies and then decide if they want to consume it - for some reason when it comes to fanfic, some people have suddenly decided if they don't like it, it shouldn't exist at all.

starting to worry about external people's collective opinion and trying to limit ao3 to their standards - or even worse, as she seems to be interested in making ao3 more accessible in her home country, China, which we know censors fucking everything - is going to end up in a mass deletion of so much fandom content. it doesn't protect anyone, it's just puritanism and "video games cause violent behavior" with a new fancy wording and aimed at fanfic instead. and personally, yeah, it would delete a lot of my favorite works from others, a lot of works from my friends, and few works from myself too.

idk if literally anything here made sense I'm sorry lmao the topic pisses me off (not as in "I'm pissed at you for bringing it up" but as in "oh my god this world is full of fucking idiots") so I ended up ranting lol.

anyway the board members are voted and anyone who had donated over $10 to ao3 before July 30th (so unfortunately we can sweep in anymore) has the right to vote and they should've already received an email about it. to anyone with the right to vote - please keep Tiffany G out 🙃

[weathernerdmando]

I'm... not thrilled with how some people in the Leverage redemption negativity tag are talking about Parker's characterization in the new show, one post in particular and maybe it's a little personal becsuse I'm autistic in the way Parker is honestly. I didn't realize that tag existed till today either, and I'm gonna be blocking it because I don't really wanna see it, and if the posts are kinda the same things I've seen a few times already, it's just gonna upset me. but anyways, Parker's characterization.

Yeah, they never explicitly say it on screen, but they (writers, team, whatever) HAVE aknowldged that they unintentionally at the very least wrote her like that. I don't care they made her 10x more autistic presenting - it helped so much to see that on screen for me. Parker being comfortable enough with the team to act that way? Yeah, she was comfortable in the original, but there's still layers to how autistic people unmask. The cards thing? God, I wish I had that. Would help so much.

Look, I understand it seems a little different and maybe it's coming across badly to some people. I've seen some people feel like it's infantilizing in some ways and maybe I'm just missing it bc I do relate to her - a lot - but. The cards thing? Very much an autistic person trying to be more independent. The child psychologist thing? I still want to hide under a blanket when I'm having a difficult conversation because it's less scary that way. I have to resist the urge to hide under a hood if I'm wearing one and honestly I do tend to revert a little to where I sound much fucking younger and feel it too. If that's something that Parker gets help from with regards to trauma? I'm good with it. Did she even get the chance to be a nontraumatized child in the first place?

Parker also cracks sex jokes and talks about arson, talks to Breannna and Elliot and Hardison and Sophie and clearly does exist in a "I'm a mature adult" way as well.

But I needed to see her act autistic not in a "quirky" way but in a "this is what people get unjustly bullied for" way because that's how I present and I've never actually seen a lot of it represented and respected. I needed to see someone who has a safe place to freak out about vents and have a person who's good to watch fondly as I do it in a visibly autistic way. I get told to shut up, calm down, reel myself in, even if I'm not hurting anyone but maybe drawing looks. And she has an explicit tell where other people can give her some space to do that without judgment. Do you know how much I wished I'd had that when I was younger? I needed to see Parker scripting like that with the cards - I want those, can someone please make them and sell them. Arguably, Parker is ahead of me in that because she's actually has that mapped out. I'm still on "arms crossed is a good chance someone is upset/closed off" and "certain tones of voice from certain people mean they are upset/off in some way and I need to keep things contained and try to not bother them". That last one comes from trauma, that first one is from my mom and is also not entirely accurate, as I've learned, but other than learning how people I know work individually each time I meet someone?? Yeah, l'm way behind Parker in that. I want those cards. I just learned from my dad like, a month ago, that the reason I might be struggling with talking to neurotypical people is that I didn't realize that they want me to ask questions in a specific manner (I'm struggling to describe it right now, but apparently at Thanksgiving dinner you should ask questions after you've spent time speaking? Or something? Idk I just learned apparently I gotta ask things more. I think I'm still doing it wrong.)

And I'm honestly still scared sometimes to act as visibly autistic myself to be honest. I'll slide from the "quirky" to "why is something wrong with her this is Too Much" (this is too many symptoms popping up, it's unrealistic, it's exaggerated pull back into yourself ugh it's bothersome.) Really quickly if I'm not constantly just watching everything, and I'm so grateful to have other friends that are good with me being myself around them like Hardison, like Elliot, like Breanna, like Sophie. But I didn't have that for a while and seeing it on screen IS important to me.

Just. For some of us, Parker really did hit home this season. Some of us...aren't fictional characters and do act like that, and in the span of ~8 years could have that change in personality and we don't owe an explanation for it. And I don't care about one for Parker.

And like this is kind a general post, not towards someone specifically, and I'm gonna be blocking that tag in question because I didn't really wanna see the post in question in the first place, but...yeah. I guess if anything, I'd like to ask you to realize some of us do act like Parker offline, and for us, that's important to see.

Defending Peter Parker (Round 2: Tom Holland)

Here <- Andrew Garfield

Soooooo I'm doing this cuz I'm bored to show y'all how dumb some of your arguments and criticisms of the live action spidermen are. I did Garfield already. I'll do Maguire if someone shows me where people have hated on his spidey cuz all I ever see for him is people treating him like he's the most perfect Peter Parker to ever exist. I'd never tell anyone how they're "supposed" to feel about a situation so I won't do that and also don't take this seriously I'm just a dumb teenager. I'm just taking the dumb opinions y'all like to pass as fact and rebutting them with actual facts.

"hE's OnLy So PoPuLaR bEcAuSe He'S hOt"

😐If this is your main critique of Tom Holland's spiderman, pls go find another one. This is so overused. The "they're only famous cuz they're hot" excuse has been used for every hot actor/actress ever. At this point, it isn't even real criticism, you just come off as lame. And yeah, alot of people like him because he's hot, but that's definitely not the only reason.

"hE's NoT sPiDeRmAn. He'S iRoNbOy!"

UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH okay let's get to it. (If you can't tell, I really hate this argument)

1) Let's be real. The fandom pushed irondad wayyyy more than the actual movies did.

2) If you still use this argument after Far From Home, you missed the whole point of what FFH was supposed to be.

I was scrolling through tumblr and I saw a great point that someone made.

That entire movie was about him coming into his own as a hero, facing his problems head-on, and dealing with the threat by himself. That was the point of the whole movie. Yes, he had the Stark tech to help him make a suit, but he designed it himself, and then he went up against a threat that had incredibly powerful Stark tech at their disposal and still won. By himself. Everyone was asking who the next Iron Man would be and Happy even flat out said "You're not Iron Man." Because he isn't. He came into his own. He is established now.

Peter started the movie a bit lost without Tony and just wanting to deny his responsibilities and get away for a while.

He ended the movie finally accepting himself for who he was and even having to fight against Stark technology. He had to rely on himself and instead of worrying about this title that's been put on him, he has to just go with his own instincts (all the way down to his web shooters running out and having to literally just rely on his mind and his body) and look his responsibilities in the face. Idk a better way for him to have broken out of being "ironboy".

3) Plus, they needed some way to bring Spiderman into the MCU. And Tony is practically the MCU's Bruce Wayne when it comes to "adopting" children. Of course he was gonna be the one to bring him in.

"He HaS tOo MaNy MeNtOrS! tHeY nEeD tO sToP hOlDiNg HiM bAcK aNd LeT hIm GrOw Up AnD bE aLoNe!"

Hahaha no.

Tony- okie dokie that's only one

Happy- Happy Hogan is not Peter's mentor. He literally helped him out in ONE scene. That is not enough to be a mentor.

Mysterio- He is also not a mentor. Storywise, he was Peter's scapegoat to caste his responsibilities onto because he didn't want them/feel he was worthy of them. And then later he was a villain. Just because the two have one small pep talk, doesn't mean he's a mentor.

I think most ppl that say this stuff really just don't want Peter to have any help. What you guys fail to realize is that getting help does not make you any less of a hero. You can still be a solo hero and get a peptalk every now and then. Batman, Superman, Ironman. They all get help from people in their movies and I don't see anyone complaining about it or saying they need to be alone.

Also, grow up? This dude is literally a sophmore/junior in high school. They talk so much about how he's literally a kid. Alot of the spiderman comics take place with him still being in high school. He doesn't have to be an adult. And as far as maturity goes, it's not like he's a dumb kid. He's just a teen doing what teens do.

"nO uNcLe BeN!"

Come on guys. How many times have we seen this origin story? We all know it.

The story takes place when he's ALREADY spiderman so Uncle Ben is ALREADY dead. (They even have his suitcase in FFH). Just because they don't really mention it doesn't mean it didn't happen. We don't need to see the same origin story again. I mean, does every Batman movie mention Bruce's parents dying in the alley? No. Cuz we all already know it does. Origin stories are integral but the MCU wasn't erasing his, they were simply just starting after it.

And in every spidey story Uncle Ben always teaches him "with great power comes great responsibility". Well if you watch the movies, MCU Peter learns his lessons in responsibilities sooooo we're covered there.

"When you can do the things that can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you."

Yeah yeah we all love Uncle Ben but him already passing doesn't mean the story's bad. That's just where they wanted to start lol.

"ThErE's No ReAl CoNsEqUeNcEs WhEn If LoSeS!"

Homecoming: If Vulture would've won, there would've been more easily accessible alien weapons available for criminals like the Shocker, the Tinkerer, etc. Also Vulture would have been a criminal loose on the streets. Regardless of his intentions, he was a guy willing to kill for what he wanted.

FFH: What Mysterio was doing, even though it was an illusion, was actually causing casualties. His workers talked about it to him over and over again. Especially if the last attack in London (i think?) would have worked, alot of people would have died. Also the world would have been tricked into depending on someone that actually couldn't really keep them safe.

Lol but regardless, Peter doesn't have to be dealing with a gigantic threat. The whole thing about being a superhero is doing what's right, regardless of how big or small the situation is. He's literally fought with the Avengers. I think he's proven himself.

All in all Tom Holland is the best (for me personally). I never have an issue when he's on screen and he's really just so awesome😊

[satrangee-ray]

I've never really posted serious stuff on my Tumblr before. At least not serious personal stuff, so this is gonna be a first. And I'm about to start a super emotional rant for no particular reason, except that I felt like I really need to put this out there, no matter how much other people feel like "I'm dragging down the energy", being a buzzkill, or just unnecessarily making things dark and heavy. So, if you're not up for it, don't proceed.

T.W.: Mentions of Trauma

So, as I gathered from the fandom, yesterday was OPH2 Chapter 11 replay day, and I've seen a lot of my favourite fandom people post about how E should have FREAKING COMPLETED HIS SENTENCE, and not given us a "care about you" statement when MC was legit supposed to be on their deathbed.

Now I understand where that sentiment is coming from, because I have been that MC and I have felt frustrated. I know what you're talking about, and I support you wholeheartedly when ya'll go, "boy, just say it!"

But, having said that, I kinda understand why he didn't, and couldn't. Ethan and I have a lot of things in common, which unfortunately include childhood trauma. And I don't wanna go into too many details, but I've never felt completely safe anywhere with anyone because of very valid reasons. And to add to that, I've had feelings for my best friend, who I had known for eight years. Eight freaking long years, and I thought I knew her. I could trust her.

And yet when after eight years I told her about my feelings, she definitely didn't reciprocate, (which is perfectly alright), but she took advantage of that knowledge to f*ck my life in so many ways that I'm still in the process of recovering from it. And for a person like E whose literal mother randomly left him with no explanation when he was mad young, I could only understand where he's coming from. There must be an automatic voice in his head which keeps saying "don't trust no one"– which is at least true in my case, and till date everytime I don't listen to that, I end up hurt badly. So if I'm right in this context, then no matter how much he loves or trusts MC, I understand why he couldn't tell them that he loves them after knowing them for only about one and a half years.

So, I would not say that it wasn’t justified for E to act the way he did. I would probably done the same if I was in his place.

Also, for the people out there who are in relationships with other people who are dealing with mental illness, I have a message. Please be patient with your S.Os. Trust me, they're trying. And you don't have to be their therapist, cause you're not supposed to be, but being their supporter until they're ready to speak their mind would really mean a lot to a lot of people.

Okay this got real dark, so again I apologize, for dragging this into the OH context. Should I even apologize? Maybe not...

I'm a confused two braincelled human, leave me alone 😅.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far.

@gaeipsstuff @jeetushmannfeelz @adiehardfan @irisofpurple I know this is not a fic but I'm tagging you here cause... idk we're friends I suppose, and I felt like when I'm doing an emo rant late in the night, you should know. Love you all <3.

I'm truly not trying to start discourse make you feel bad personally, I just wanted to check if you're alright with chengxian? One of the jc-lwj-wwx parallel posts you rebloggged was tagged by the op as chengxian and that makes me uncomfortable with interacting with it, but I haven't seen any of that on your blog and I really like it here, so I'm wanting to clarify for myself if I'm better off unfollowing on grounds of incompatible vibes (i.e. even if I didn't view them as siblings I wouldn't like them as a ship but I've heard the relationship is less familial in the novel and more typically martial sibling like so idk but yeah anyway. Hope you're having a nice day and this doesn't come across as offensive)

Oh! Well, anon, I'm gonna take a two-pronged approach here just to be clear for your needs and mine 😅

Firstly, I don't personally ship chengxian! I just really really love parallels and meta involving the three of those characters (and lxc too, they all mirror each other in super interesting ways). I'm all for curating our own experiences, so I will say that if you don't want to see romantic chengxian you ARE more than likely safe on this blog. This is because, while probably boring to many, I only ship wangxian with each other in my little monkey brain/heart. I am pretty set in stone and vanilla when it comes to my main ships in general (don't @ me abt the fact that I'm a smut writer U KNOW it's relatively vanilla 😂).

Secondly, I am wholeheartedly "alright" with chengxian!!! Anything anybody wants to ship and however they want to ship it is a-ok, regardless of if I personally like it/want to see it/am squicked by it or not. I am not judging anyone for anything their brain finds enjoyable, as long as it is not causing harm, which to be clear, internet shipping of fictional characters cannot do as long as it is all tagged correctly in good faith etc.

It's highly possible I will reblog lots of things that were maybe intended to be posts suggesting ships I don't like/read/whatever, but if I don't see the post that way myself I won't clock it or care! If I like it and get something from it then I'm gonna be reblogging it without knowledge of or regard for op's intentions. Not sure if that's in bad taste or something these days but I am simply not checking op's tags for fandom stuff unless I happen to see them directly.

Also, just to tack on, I want to assure everyone that unfollowing/blocking people on the internet is a 100% great tool for any reason you might want to use it. Unfollow me if you need to!! Unfollow anyone!!! Make your internet experience as calm and happy for your soul as you can, it's one of the few areas of life in which we have that ability, so definitely take advantage of it!!

(Choosing not to address the fact that martial siblings are not actual siblings because it does seem that anon gets it, and it seems irrelevant here, and MANY people with far better knowledge of the culture of martial siblings have tackled the subject. If anybody asks for links I can try to dig some up, but I think search engines would also yield results?)

#asked and answered #no discs or horses here #just trying to be clear for everyone #i hope you have a nice day anon #also not implying anon is judging anyone either! really just wanted to take the opportunty to make sure everyone knows i dont either!

[fandom-blackhole]

I'm back from my mandatory two day socialization recovery period required for all socialization even if I enjoy it. It's time for some Mermaid!Din au thoughts (No thots unfortunately but we'll live)

First off I love the isolation that the reader faces because of the lighthouse they live in. And I love how the townspeople being nice to the reader help give them a reason to stick around when weird things start happening.

I love how it took months before anything strange starts happening, like were Din and Grogu just not around or were they observing the reader. Did Din ever try to stop Grogu from damaging the lighthouse or did he let the little rascal do as he pleased.

· And gosh I love the idea of reader dressing in old worn clothing, a knit sweater with fraying sleeves, sweat pants covered in paint from repairs, an old windbreaker to help keep the cold out. It makes me heart all warm and fuzzy.

Edna, who i've head cannoned as this series Miss Chatham (H2O: just add water charter) is honestly life goals. Like live near ocean - check(ish), have rare knowledge that can be used to help new person - check, being just slightly spooky -amazing. And is that a little matchmaker I see her playing? I love it.

Then Grogu being injured :( I bet that Din is absolutely being eaten alive by guilt even though we all know it’s not his fault and he does literally anything he can to keep Grogu safe and happy.

And In love how Din is venerable enough to ask for help, like he recognizes that this is something out of his area of expertise so he goes to the person he knows is “safe” to get help. He’s humble enough to admit that he needs help and is not capable of doing everything for Grogu. And being able to admit that is an important life skill that not enough people have.

· But even after he ask the reader for help he is still hesitant which shows that even though hes trusting reader he will still kick (is it still a kick if its with a tail) the readers ass if he hurts him.

“But you can help him” Oh my heart the trust in that sentence. Like Din just heard, “so yeah I can help your son but I have to take him somewhere it will be hard for you to follow. And he needs to stay there for at least a week, and even if you manage to come its going to be so far from your natural element.” But he was still on board with the plan. And then he goes to climb on the rock so he can drag himself all the way to the light house because he can’t let his little boy go alone even if it means hurting himself to do it.

Reader was smart af for doing the old blanket slipperaroo trick

Reader immediately knowing something was up when she walked into town is so realistic. She literally is hiding a massive secret at her lighthouse of course anyone would be on edge walking back into society. Especially a society that already knows a little something about the secret. But them to amplify it. Miss Chatham to the rescue. She knows that reader is up to something and she uses her powers as an old lady with lungs and karen potential to scare off the problem for a little bit. The reader just placed so much trust on Edna by straight up telling her that she's housing Din and Grogu.

· Also that fool browsing the menstrual hygiene rack, like dumbass. Is this your way of making him miss every shot? Because we know that storm troopers are well known for their ability to miss every shot so making him automatically turn to tampons? Genius

Cashier for the win, like beep beep bitch now pay up

The "cyare" omg and then the reader warning Din about the cookies and him being so curious about them. The way Din is so perceptive of the readers mood that he is already able to tell that something is wrong. It was such a smart idea to have the reader lead with asking him to give her a small chance to calm down about what happened in the town.

Din and the reader low-key flirting and teasing each other at the end is so adorable. Grogu with the cookie absolutely melts my heart like of course that boy is hungry.

So this is a slightly polished layout of my stream of consciousness while reading this. Does it make sense? Probably not. But I love this idea and you have done it justice.

Ahhhhhhz thank you for all of the lovely thoughts and compliments, im glad you like my story and I hope it continuesto meet your expectations!!!! And you made perfect sense darling!

To reply to some things:

Honestly, I chose the isolation for two reasons, 1- it made sense, especially for how the plot is going to play out, privacy and isolation is needed, and 2- im introverted and I like being alone, so I just projected

The town's people are great! They are used to having lighthouse keepers just up and leave because of all the weird stuff, so the second that one sticks around they were all overjoyed, because like I said, a lot of the people work on boats fishing so the lighthouse is super important to them

Din did wait and observe the reader, wanting to know what to do when to attempt to scare them off. But also like no, he tried keeping Grogu away from the lighthouse as much as possible, not knowing what the reader might do to him, and just being a protective father, but we all know Grogu is a little shit and he snuck out before Din could stop him

Reader dresses in the COMFIEST clothes, and honestly, I am very much a sweater and comfy leggings kind of person, so again, something I am projecting

I love that you and everyone is loving Edna, she is definitely one of those cool old ladies that sneak you treats and shenanigans when no one is looking!

Also because idk if anyone has pointed it out.... in the last chapter I thought I was heavily hinting at it, but maybe it was more subtle than I thought, Edna and her MERMAID were alot more than friends *wink wink* she's gay as fuck and thats why she made the joke about not liking NUTS

Din loves Grogu, in and out of this AU, and it was 1000% not his fault that Grogu got hurt, in fact he was trying to protect him! Din definitely panicked and the first person that came to mind was the reader, and while he didn't know them, he knew for some reason they were safe to go to for help (as well as knowing the lighthouse would be a good place to hide while some things cooled down 👀), but Din will always be cautious because he is scared for his son

Din is just *chef's kiss* 👌, an amazing father who will do ANYTHING for his son, no matter what it takes

The whole blanket thing literally came from my childhood, thinking about how my sisters and I would drag eachother around on blankets, and I just thought it would be great for this scenario

Like the reader is gonna get real paranoid during this series, im not going to lie to you, things are gonna get rough, but Edna is the MVP she's one of those people that could pull your darkest secrets from you just by glancing at you, and the reader pretty much assumed she was safe to talk to after she had informed her about the food offerings

Ok ok, as for the dudes, I was too lazy to look up their names and stuff but they were these dudes from season 1 that gave Din Grogu's bounty: the first dude is the one 'hiding' in the women's hygiene section

Din is just obsessed for human food at this point, and he feels things for the reader even of he doesn't want to admit it quite yet

Din also may be oblivious as fuck, but he's also observant, hes a bounty hunter for fucks sake, he needs to be able to pick up on these things, so yes in my stories Din is really good at picking up on emotions, even if he doesn't fully know how to react to them

Im aiming for a slow burn foc, but to be honest with you all, chances are it is going to be a regularly paced romance, which for my writing is slow paced, so yeah the idiots are flirting and teasing eachother, but also like they will not be talking about or admitting feelings for at least a few more chapters

Grpgu deserves all the cookies!!! He's a growing tadpole, who has been magically healing himself while in a coma like state, so he hasnt eaten in days, and if he wanted he'd probably be able to devour 2x his body weight and then some, so a few cookies recieved in some kind of mysterious way are well achieved
