About that one ask where Machete murders everyone. I'm in my fire phase at the moment and thought blue would look good in contrast to Machete's usual red :)

.

#wwwwhhhh oh boy #there he goes #can't decide whether I should feel bad for him destroying everything he's worked so hard for or happy to see him finally unleash #decades worth of resentment and bad energy #when I first saw this it was around noon I think and I had my brightness turned way down so I didn't see the text on the background #and pretty much lost it when I took a better look at it later #the lighting though! I love how vibrant blue the flames are and how they contrast against the red background #excellent unhinged villain cackle A+ #thank you! #gift art #lavenkel #own characters #Machete #(don't) let him cook

[becca-e-barnes]

Becca Sweetheart, I'm just thinking about Lee with a housewife kink but also with a breeding kink. Like the though of him coming home to you (perhaps you've made him a nice dinner after his long day at work?) and spending the evening showing you exactly how he's going to make you a mommy. I just think this man would go crazy to see you carrying his child.

🍑 Anon

My head hurts and the only cure is some filthy breeding from Lee 👀

Lord, I have to say, I love the thought of Lee wanting to start a family as soon as you both can, I feel like it suits him really well?

And I adore the thought of him coming home from work some evening, totally unable to hold back. He's seen you standing at the stove wearing a pretty little sundress he picked out for you, his dinner is ready and waiting but it's the last thing on his mind in that moment.

"Hi baby! How was your day?" God, you're so bright and chirpy, the most genuine smile on your face because you're just genuinely happy to have your husband home again. It makes his heart soar and his dick harden and it just reminds him how perfect you are.

"It was fine, sweetheart. Is it okay if we let dinner simmer for a bit?" He shrugs off his jacket and sets his keys on the counter, bypassing your lips in favour of sucking on your neck instead.

His mouth is hot and insistent because clearly, this has been on his mind all day. "Y-yeah, that's fine." Your voice is barely louder than a whisper when his teeth start nipping at your skin.

"You stop takin' those birth control pills like we talked about?" Fuck, of course you did. You haven't taken your birth control in about 2 weeks after a lengthy conversation that this would probably be the best time to start trying for a baby.

"Yeah, Lee. Haven't taken any in a while." You hear him groan against your skin at the confirmation, his hands squeezing your hips over your dress.

"Good. I'll maybe give you your little baby tonight. How does that sound, huh? You want me to make you a mommy?" Oh, that sounds far too thrilling and truthfully, it's all you really want.

"Please. Please give me a baby." He groans again, low and desperate. He's more than happy to. In fact, he needs nothing more.

It doesn't take him long to scoop you up and carry you to the bedroom, laying you down on the bed before layering his body on top of yours, kissing you with a passion he wasn't even aware he was capable of. Something in him needed this more than he realised. His sweet little wife was fertile and desperate for a baby. For his baby. And everything in him wanted to ensure he gave you one.

"You better take a good look in the mirror over the next few months, honey." He pulls back and takes his belt off, barely registering that you'd already begun working to undo the buttons of his shirt. After a second, both are discarded. "Won't be too long before you start showing."

You didn't expect to like this the way you do. It's almost indescribable because this isn't just some spur of the moment idea or some filthy little fantasy. It's the start of your family with the love of your life and somehow, that makes it even hotter.

"You think I'll look pretty like that? With my belly all round, carrying your baby?" Shit, he can't control himself when you say things like that. With very little fuss, he flips the skirt of your dress up, tugging your wet little panties to the side, sliding his dick into you with a groan.

"You'll look fuckin' gorgeous like that. Maybe I should keep you that way. Just fill you up with baby after baby. You'll never need those birth control pills again. I'll keep you waddlin' round the house with a baby in your tummy. Swear you even feel different. Now this little pussy's fertile, I swear you're wetter for me. How's a man even meant to pull out of that? You've got Heaven between your legs, sweetheart."

Neither of you last awfully long but you couldn't be expected to. After he's done feeding you dinner, he's got all damn night.

#asks answered <3 #🍑 anon #becca writes spice #lee bodecker smut #lee bodecker #lee bodecker x reader smut #*cries* when is it my turn to get railed by lee #I am past the point of giving shits today #I'm writing pure fucking filth #take it or leave it #I ordered some pretty lingerie today #I talk about everything else in my life in these tags so I might as well keep oversharing #it's very pretty #I got a red set #and a white set with black flowers #but more importantly #my tiktok fyp might be getting too specific #I got one of those videos that was like 'you're about to be in a long term relationship' #'someone is rushing in to ask you on a date or have a reunion with you' #and earlier a guy I haven't spoken to in years messaged me out of the blue #and back in the day we were going to go on a date and things just didn't work out #he was a good study partner though #he always had this weird superiority thing though? He always thought he was better than the rest of us in the class #I would like to humbly point out that I did in fact graduate with a higher classification than him 😏 #keep your long term relationship #I have no desire for that shit rn #I'm just out of one and I do NOT want another any time soon #I'm just enjoying doing what I'm doing

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

You know, I'm glad that some of us take the step to embrace things that we like even if they're "cringe" or "objectively bad"

But perhaps we could take the next step forward and embrace the idea of reading into books/shows/movies/etc even if they don't seem deep. Perhaps we could understand that the two kinds of media aren't either "shallow and meaningless so you're weird and brainrotted to read into it" or "incredibly and profoundly deep in every way so if you don't analyze every single angle of the thing then you're brainrotted". Some media is deeper than others, but all I propose is that no matter how deep it seems it's acceptable to dig into the thing and take the media seriously instead of just assuming that because of ____ thing (such as target audience or how cringe it is) the media not deep and will never be deep and everything good about it happened on accident.

#fandom wank #i just be ramblin #I'm not putting this in any tags #I'm just frustrated that Sonic Prime is going to be remembered by the bulk of its fanbase/people who watched it as a shallow stupid badly #written kid's show where the only thing good about it that we can even consider was created on purpose and is deep is Sonadow #I'm frustrated that when people learned that sometimes the death note creators did things because it was cool and not because they were #planning for it to be some great symbolism that so many people jumped from 'death note is a masterpiece and every bit of it is meticulously #thought out the curtains are never blue' to 'pack it up guys! the curtains are just blue! Everything good about death note like that #profound relationship I like and the neat symbolism completely happened by accident and Ohba sucks as a writer otherwise' #I'm frustrated when I see people talk about 'a kid's show' as if it's not gonna be deep at all or written well *because #it's a kid's show and then turn around and complain that said show sucks and isn't deep at all (even if that's how they're choosing to look #at it and they could see the care put into the story if they didn't go into it assuming that it will be lesser and shallow and dumb based on #what it is) #I guess it's also just getting me on this random Wednesday the idea that the bulk of one's viewers determine the legacy of a piece of media‚ #no matter how close or far away they are from painting the media as it actually is or tries to bw #It's also just bleak (especially from a manga/anime standpoint) that if your work is considered profound and intellectual‚ then any reveal #of something not being deep is grounds for people to completely swap how they think of your work and how they see you as a writer #And any work that's considered 'not actually that deep' from the getgo ends up with people only engaging with it seriously saying stuff like #'I know nothing about it is purposeful or deep but I like it' #and just ends up with prevailing opinion putting down anything percieved as 'good' or 'profound' about the work as a complete fluke

#this is really a show about coming of age in a vicious and unfamiliar world more than a show about werewolves #think about it. scott is sixteen and to him losing his first love is as incomprehensible and unfathomable as the supernatural. #and we're constantly reminded of how being sixteen and in love goes -- 'you're not in love you're sixteen and a child' etc. #these three characters make for such a good parallel to one another in how they werewolf + seeking guidance #especially + sudden change of worldview/stakes when confronted with sudden and unexpected loss and grieving #of course derek loses paige and becomes cold and jaded (see: literally becomes cold w/ blue eyes) #scott loses allison and commits harder to saving all of his friends even though one of them (or someone possessing him) killed her #liam is stopped from killing because of hayden's death #here are three werewolves who were sixteen and held their first love's dead body in their arms #and each of them took a different path. do you close yourself off? refuse to? do you change completely because of it? #and ofc it's teen wolf so everything always comes in threes #I have a lot of issues with the writing but the use of death (barring 6b) is not one of them. they really went hard on meaningful death. #also consider: lori holding brett's hand so he doesn't die alone and theo responding to tracy kissing him by killing her as she does #teen wolf writers went is anyone going to bastardize the original narrative to ponder new ideas about it and didn't wait for an answer #also women's deaths are always about love/for a man (thanks hollywood) but goddamn if they don't kill their women wisely #and the thing is they are all running. they're running from death and what does it get them? it gets them here. #derek wants to turn paige so she'll live forever. scott wants allison to live happily even with someone else. liam wants to save hayden. #none of them consider that cheating death will catch up to them until they run right into its arms #and all three die because of getting involved with the supernatural. all of them would presumably not have died otherwise. #coming of age into a world that takes and hurts and destroys and where you are now old enough for people around you to die. #this is not a show about werewolves. #teen wolf #twedit #teenwolfedit #my edit #derek hale #paige krasikeva #scott mccall #allison argent #liam dunbar

[voskhozhdeniye]

The entire western liberal worldview is currently balanced on the ability to psychologically compartmentalize away from the mass atrocities in Gaza and what western governments are doing to perpetuate them.

Everything that mainstream liberals claim to oppose is on full display in Israel’s actions in Gaza. Racism. Fascism. Tyranny. Injustice. Genocide. Yet they must necessarily avoid throwing themselves into opposing these things there at all cost, because it would mean acknowledging that their own political allegiances are inseparably interwoven with them.

It would mean turning against Biden during an election year. It would mean admitting that their entire political posture against Trump all these years has been a phony performance, because they’re tacitly endorsing all the things they claimed to hate about him. It would mean admitting their entire worldview is a lie, and that all their critics to their left have been correct.

The western liberal is therefore in the year 2024 engaged in an exhausting regimen of nonstop mental gymnastics to avoid having an authentic relationship with the reality of what’s happening Gaza. They squirm this way and that, twisting their gaze toward empty nonsense like Barbie movie Oscar snubs and Trump’s latest instance of verbal diarrhea to avoid looking at what’s happening. On those odd occasions when they are forced to confront the reality of Gaza they start spouting gibberish about how “complicated” and “heartbreaking” it is and how they hope there can be peace as soon as possible, while frenetically avoiding saying precisely how that “peace” should be brought about.

Gaza exposes the mainstream western liberal ideology for the kayfabe performance it always has been. The job of the so-called liberal “moderate” has never been to oppose racism, fascism, tyranny, injustice or genocide, their job is to perpetually give the thumbs-up to one head of the two-headed monster that is the murderous western empire. Their job is to help put a positive spin on a globe-spanning power structure that is fueled by human blood. To help elect Bidens and Starmers and Trudeaus and Albaneses who will ensure that the gears of the empire keep on turning completely unhindered while paying lip service to human rights and social justice.

The one faint glimmer of brightness in this profoundly dark chapter in human history is that it might start opening some eyes to the fraudulence of the mainstream fake-left political faction that has been marketed to the western public as an alternative to far right depravity. That westerners might start awakening to the reality that everything they’ve been trained to believe about politics, their government and their world is a lie. Such an awakening would be the first step toward a mass-scale movement into health.

#I hope y'all understand I don't take any of these motherfuckers serious anymore. #Caitlin has a more positive outlook than I. #In DM's yesterday I likened what's happening to an abusive relationship. #Biden's entire platform right now is simply vote for me or the bad guy will win. #While he's committing the same acts #and the vote blue no matter who folks argue why one abusive spouse is better than the other. #They're like minorities if Trump wins he'll commit violence against you. #Standing Rock and Ferguson happened during Obama dipshits. #The crime bill was Clinton. #They will beat us no matter who is in charge. #The mental gymnastics Caitlin talks about is them clutching to Biden because they're afraid of Trump. #Because as I said the other day this is the first time many of them have felt what we feel. #They will cling to Biden because he hasn't torn their communities the way he has ours. #He's just let Covid rip their communities apart like everything else to them that's beyond his control. #The nature of fascism is that it devours everything. #Y'all place nice with Biden now if you want. #When it's your turn to be repressed I hope I'm alive to see it.

Pure Speculation but i know the like [this is reaction to You Know How Media Is] element discussed like #part 1 thinking most [sat. morning cartoons experience; the legend of] part 2 is like when these series get sequels or just some #ep or turning point that upends its own previous established conventions. Darker more Serious / Mature Themes etc #part 3 like well sequel to That which adds yet another layer of the same factor there lol #i'm not really that versed in All This Media directly b/c i'm not that versed in / familiar with much of any media directly but #i am also not completely at sea & also one thing i could think of is like. blade is our revenge vengeance tragic anti antagonist lmao #what if after that they get to lighten up in delightful contrast to the torment & tragedy. turn more optimistic moral support bestie etc #but like i said utter speculation based on ''oh this is a look they have?'' & comments on [comments on material commenting on itself] so #could be anything! or nothing! except that it's Something enough to have been photographed a couple of times. thank god #oh hang on also we can see that that's stephen stout's character in the pic of Wearing A Black Longer Haired Wig & Ultracorp Jacket #who's to say it isn't also: yes that's blade disguised or something. underneath they have this bright blue shorter wig & Blade Outfit lol #i would cheer for that. compelling #(also noting that it didn't preclude a doubling of roles instead but; that figure Is wearing blade's necklace. makes it easy to switch to #Blade Mode backstage; makes it easy to switch to Blade Mode onstage....) #which: noted! bullet necklace! makes sense lmao. sort of #also pic 2 ft. director kristin mccarthy parker fyi. and the typical blade hair length i.e. simply asia's own. #''😳........ 😍'' soooooo true ''MMM:'' standing for ''most memorable moment:'' and also sooooo true as well #blade gunnblade is everything to me. if they died in part 3 i'm blowing this whole building up. they have bright blue hair now

What if Danny's and Vlad's accidents were reversed?

In college, Jack, Maddie, and Vlad were going big. They wanted a portal large enough to enter.

After that went wrong, Jack and Maddie decided it might be best to start small instead.

I just wanted to see Danny and Vlad as though they'd had each other's accidents—Danny with slightly lighter hair and ecto-acne, Vlad with... uh... slightly darker hair. (And maybe also do a little pondering about how Danny copes with his accident being plain on his face. Especially with how he'd already been bullied in school. And, would he be quarantined in a hospital for a year or two until the acne goes into remission? That would be tough. I'd always figured Vlad's accident happened just before graduation, since he must've graduated with Jack and Maddie to be part of their class reunion. But Danny's only a little way into his first year of high school.)

However... their appearances switching would also mean a lot of other things switching. Like... exactly how their accidents took place.

Vlad would've of course been inside the turned-off portal as he said it wasn't going to work, and it would have come on with him inside it. Maybe Jack would've plugged it in right after Vlad said it wouldn't work (and, well, with Vlad being involved with the project, he might've turned the on button on ahead of time or else had edited the schematics to not have a button there at all).

Twenty years later, Danny would have been in the basement with his friends, and peeked through the porthole portal. He's just looking around, telling his friends about his parents' project, glancing at it to see if he sees anything interesting. Maybe he had absently set his hand on its base as he leaned over to look through it, and that base happened to have an on button on it. And maybe Danny's parents hadn't tried turning it on earlier; hadn't walked away in disappointment. Maybe they've finished it, but they're waiting for a more special time to do a ceremonial 'turning it on' thing. Like when the whole family is together later in the day, rather than turning it on while the kids are at school and unable to witness the occasion. But Danny comes home with his friends, doesn't see his parents around, and assumes the porthole portal is still unfinished. He doesn't know it's plugged in and ready to turn on. So he ends up with a blast of contaminated ectoplasm to the face.

I've switched the 'on' method for the two portals so that Vlad's accident would have still been Jack's fault, and Danny's accident would still be his own accident. It would make sense, though. Maybe the on button had been Maddie's or Jack's idea, while the remote control had been Vlad's idea.

...Here's the part that would change everything, however... (Sigh, so much for a simple switch)

If the 1981 accident happened the way Danny's original accident had... then Vlad would've stumbled out of the portal in ghost form. Right in front of Jack and Maddie. (Originally, Vlad's hair had lightened and his eyes glowed icy blue, but the ghostliness seemed concentrated only to his face. With the portal shocking his whole body, everything's going to invert and he'll be noticeably a ghost.)

No matter how they react, it's going to change what happens twenty years later. They would be checking to see if Danny had become a halfa. They would know halfas are possible. They would instantly jump to that possibility when Danny ends up with physical effects from the porthole portal. Whether they'd stayed close friends with Vlad and became his version of Sam and Tucker, or whether they'd turned against him for being half ghost.

...I mean, unless you think they would see ghost-form!Vlad leaving the portal and assume this horrible ghost just so happened to exit the portal right after Vlad had disappeared into it... Then the timeline might remain the same...

---

In which case. If it's so hard to tell ghost-half and human-half are the same person... It would be pretty funny if, when Danny had accidentally pushed the on button in his original accident... some random ghost had coincidentally walked out of the portal, and Sam and Tucker just assumed it was Danny. Like... Tucker: (Gasp!) "The portal turned Danny into a ghost!" Ghost!Danny(?): "Hello, dearies. Would you like a piece of cherry pie?" Sam: (taking the ghost's arm) "Come on, Danny, you need to hide! Your parents could show up any minute!"

But he figured it was just the white hair.) #by the way. When I started to color Vlad's eyes I saw that I had a 'Peacock Blue' colored pencil. And decided that sounded good. #I'd adjusted the picture(s) in Photoshop to match how they look in-person. ...Except they probably look different on different screens. #Oh. I didn't think to mention that I'm assuming the first portal still wouldn't work out. Not sure what would go wrong though. #Maybe they'd just shut it off immediately after the accident and never turned it back on. #Maybe the school had shut them down because of the accident and deemed it a complete failure and safety hazard. Everything confiscated. #Would give more reason for them to try a smaller (non-enterable) version.
