Not the son you were looking for

The Fentons were sure that their son was dead. They didn't understand why Phantom pretended to be their little Danny, nor why he made so many illogical excuses like "being a hybrid" and so on. At first they played along, but they were angry, angry that the truth was being kept from them, angry because they were sure that the supposed hero had done something to their son, and he even managed to trick Jazz!

It all made sense when Phantom was declared Ghost King, of course, he surely had Danny captive! It shouldn't be hard for the King of the Dead to manipulate a soul, maybe he was gaining power from that. They were sure, they had seen the King argue with one of his ghost-capturing devices and keep it always guarded, a big secret surely.

Unfortunately for them, the GIW had disbanded, so they had to turn to their second choice: The Justice League. It was an organization of heroes that had only recently formed, but the Fenton's were sure they would help them, so they contacted them and explained the situation. The League was skeptical but when they heard that a child might be in danger they acted immediately.

They didn't confront the King directly, they weren't idiots, but they stole the thermos, willing to give the child trapped in it a break. They could deal with the Ghost King later.

Unfortunately for everyone, as soon as the Fentons hit the "release" button what came out was not their son's soul, no. Dan Phantom watched them with a wide grin, free for the first time in years. The League had a feeling they had made a grave mistake.

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #revelation goes wrong #kinda #The Fentons pretended to believe Phantom and he thought everything was fine #They never really believed it #They thought that Phantom had killed Danny and was using his appearance #Which doesn't make sense but they are concerned parents ig #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny kept an eye on the thermos to make sure Dan didn't escape #It was a king's secret but a good one #The League believed the Fentons because all ghost information was erased #courtesy of Technus #Many were skeptical because it was a whole kingdom and it was very likely that the scientists were wrong #but upon hearing about the trapped child they decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and rescue the kid #they didn't face the Ghost King because he was clearly more powerful than them #instead they stole the thermos in a moment of carelessness #Clockwork knew it but he thought it was for the best #The League released Dan into the world #and the Fentons got their son back #just not the son they were looking for

Hello Starry! I just had a thought about your Danyal al Ghul AU, and didn't have anyone else to share it with, so here we go:

If in this universe Bruce is Jewish, and Danny knows this(probably from a google search), he may wear a Star of David necklace to have a piece of his father with him at all times, since he knows he will never get to meet him. Or maybe the necklace sits in a box under a floorboard, because he can't stand the constant reminder of the father he'll never get to have. Maybe he observes Sam and her family celebrate Jewish holidays, or he learns how to by himself, but uses the time to mourn, instead of celebrate.

Anyways, hope all is well, and thank you for sharing your writing!

AAHHHH??? YOUR BRAIN??? Thank you!! I love sharing my writing, it soothes my need for attention lol. lmao, even. (Also how did you know i was thinking of my danyal al ghul au today -- i have an unfinished draft that i was thinking of delving into after my work meeting) also aahh!!!!!!!! im so happy that you wanted to share your thoughts with me about it <333

But dude BOTH of these ideas are soo?? GOOD and ANGSTY. I love angsty. Danny would for sure know if Bruce was Jewish, lil guy did an obsessive amount of research on his dad the moment he got his hands on a computer and figured out how they worked. Danny has like, a three inch thick folder almost on his father alone. Anything he could get his hands on, he's got it. That thickness is almost exclusively from his first like, six months in Amity Park. He keeps it in a box in his closet, along with his growing-folder on Damian and his achievements as Damian Wayne. He pages through it when he's feeling like mourning.

First off: him wearing a Star of David necklace to feel connected to Bruce. That is SO sad and I love it so much. He bought it with an allowance he'd been given when he first started living with the Fentons, he keeps it tucked under his shirt so nobody even knows he has it. Sam and Tucker don't until it slips out while he's hanging out with them and when they ask him about it, Danny very reluctantly tells them that his father is Jewish. When he's distracted, nervous, or sad, he fidgets with it. How this looks is that he looks like he's kinda rubbing his chest, like ungrasping and grasping something.

Second Off: him keeping it in a box under the floorboards. That is also so, so good. He's got it in the box along with a few other things that remind him of his father and Damian and his mother. He takes it out when he's feeling particularly lonely and homesick, it's a feeling that never really goes away even after five years of living in Amity Park. It's like a longing for something you'll never see again, but isn't that just how grief works? i can just imagine him sitting against the bed, late at night and back from patrol. He's still in his ghost form, his katana laid on the ground next to him, and his almost bird-like cape pooling down beside him as he cups the necklace in his hand like he's cradling an egg. Maybe he's bleeding from somewhere, and he's telling the necklace about patrol, murmured soft in Arabic.

When he finds out Sam is Jewish he probably, after much consideration, asks if he can observe their holidays -- after all, researching Jewish holidays only does so much. Sam agrees when he explains why, much to her parents chagrin, and he sometimes tags along. But once he gets an understanding of how they go, he starts doing it on his own. Somewhat. He celebrates with Sam for most of it, and then has some time to himself where he celebrates it on his own. So it's a little bit of both.

^^^ which brings me to thinking about my danyal snippet here where Sam is at a Wayne gala and tears into her parents over Danny in front of Bruce. And it's making me think of, with this idea in mind, Sam in a moment of emotional impulsivity, saying "I know that he wears a Star of David because his father is Jewish and he wants to be closer to him, because he loves him so very fucking much." And while saying that, briefly makes direct eye contact with Bruce as a way to tell him "I know you're his fucking dad. Look at the son you have left behind."

If only for the emotional gut punch that can leave Bruce with. 🥰

Thank you for the ask! I had a lot of fun responding to it, have a fantastic evening/day/night.

icicle's trauma as a child soldier is very overlooked i think. which annoys me to no end because by ignoring that aspect of her character, it's very easy to paint her as ""evil"" — yes she is a cold-blooded killer, whatever, but that stems from needing a way to cope with killing dragons in the war. she had to be uncaring for others' lives to take them, and this lack of compassion for pretty much everyone (except her brothers) obviously wouldn't disappear when the war ended. icicle doesn't kill effortlessly for fun, but because she has been conditioned to do so.

#like. she's not stupid. she knows what's morally right and wrong but simply doesn't care #the chance of getting her brother back is worth killing whoever because why should she care about them? #hailstorm's life is worth infinitely more than theirs so what gives them the right to live while he dies? #do you see what i'm getting at. her mentality makes sense considering what she's gone through #and if sora can be forgiven bombing a classroom because of trauma why isn't the same courtesy given to icicle? who was still a child btw #wof #wings of fire #icicle #icicle wof #wof icicle #princess icicle

Gentle reminder as the spooky time has arrived: If you go to a haunted house/attraction, remember that you paid to be scared. Do not go to a haunted house, and try to impress your friends by assaulting the actors. I would even go so far as to beg you to please stop trying to show off how not scared you are. Please stop this mind set that "not being scared" makes you a cool person. It doesn't. It makes you look like a jerk. And I get it, sometimes, you are legitimately not frightened. I worked Haunted houses, I've been legitimately not scared or impressed. You know what DOES make you cool? Scream anyways. Screaming at jump scares makes it more fun for you and your friends. It makes it more fun for the actors. It makes for an overall better time. If you go about a haunt, acting a fool that's not impressed, the haunters will not waste their time, and they will find someone else who gives them something to work with.

#I am sick of hearing my haunt friends tell me they got punched or beat up AGAIN #I hate macho chads who think they are all alpha and posture at scare actors #they have a job to do and they dont get paid very well #they just want to have fun #hear a few screams #get a few laughs #if you KNOW you have a tendency to punch or hit when you are frightened DO NOT GO TO A HAUNT ATTRACTION #Common sense common courtesy #And dont even get me started on the ladies who try to flirt with the monsters so that they seem less scared. #just let the monster do his job #why yall gotta make things so difficult for my friends

Day 5: Lingerie & Double Penetration

Aurora/Swiss/Aeon

Swiss has very specific needs and all of them can be satiated by being stuck between Aurora and Aeon.

tags: double penetration in one hole, clothed sex, slight size kink in the sense of tiny ghoulette wrecking big ghoul, strap-ons and dildos

-

Swiss stares slack jawed at Aurora, unsure where exactly to focus his gaze; the soft pink lace of her bra accentuating the curve of her breasts, her nipple just barely visible through the near translucent material.

Though he goes slackjawed when his gaze drops further down; she's wearing panties to match, also pink and nearly see through, but, she's also wearing a harness, the straps wrapped around her thighs and waist are a darker pink, offset between the lingerie and her light gray skin.

"Oh," he says somewhat dumbly when Aurora's hand reaches down to wrap around the base of the dildo, also pink but not garishly so, her fingers not quite meeting around the girth of it.

"Good surprise?" She asks with a sharp grin, cocking her hip out to the side, "We heard you were having some...problems. Figured we could help you out a little bit."

Swiss's eyes are still drawn to Aurora's small hand wrapped around the dildo, just holding it, oh so natural, "Huh?" he asks, finally drawing his eyes back up to her face as what she'd said finally dawns on him, "We?"

There's a displacement of air behind him, a coolness against his back; magic--quintessence, and then there's hands coming to rest on his hips, a hot, open mouthed kiss pressed against his shoulder blade through his shirt, "Hey you," Aeon whispers, giving him a brief squeeze before the hands disappear and the other ghoul steps into view.

He's shirtless, almost nude except for the lace boyshorts sitting low on his hips, they're a dark purple—and Aeon's already hard, straining against the material.

Swiss feels his mouth water a bit.

"No, no, no," Aurora sing-songs, as if she can read his mind, "We have plans for you," she reaches out for him then and Swiss can't do anything but go towards her, taking her small hand in his and letting her draw him down into a kiss.

He loses himself in her taste, her lips, the bite of her fangs against his lower lip as she deepens the kiss and walks them backwards towards the bed.

Somewhere, somehow, he ends up on the bed with her, nude and kneeling over her lap, the bump of skin warmed silicone against his own hard cock making him gasp each time they touch, his hips jolting forward a bit, trying to get something more against him until Aurora's hands settle on his hips, firm, easily stopping his movements.

She shakes her head with a grin, keeping him still and then, there's heat against his back, a chest pressed against him, the scratch of lace against his lower back, the hard press of a cock.

"Aeon," Swiss says, breathless, letting his head fall back to rest against his shoulder—and Aeon is there, his light purple eyes clear and mischievous.

"Hey big guy," Aeon says with a smile, leaning in to press a kiss against his temple, "You with us?"

Swiss hums, eyes fluttering closed when Aeon presses another kiss to his temple, "The two of you finally done fighting over me?" He asks, aiming for cocky, but instead his breath hitches as Aeon starts to rub the pads of his fingers over his nipples.

"You're the one who said that there's more than enough of you to go around," Aurora says, sweet and evenly toned, her fingertips dancing along his inner thigh, "We thought we'd find out."

"Find out what?" Swiss asks dumbly, shivering as Aurora's fingers work their way higher and higher, dancing further back, gasping when she brushes against his balls, alighting his nerves on fire.

"If there's enough of you to go around us," She says it so matter of fact as dry fingertips press teasingly over his hole, her other hand still holding onto his hip tight, keeping him from moving.

"Oh," Swiss says suddenly, his hands coming up to grab onto her shoulders, "Oh, oh yes. Yes please. Yes, I want that."

Aurora laughs, a high and bright sound, though if Swiss focuses too much on it, he can hear the undercurrent of mean that makes his gut clench, "We knew you would," she says simply. "Aeon dear, if you could?" She casts the question over Swiss's shoulder with a tilt of her head.

Aeon hums from behind Swiss and then there's fingers, slick and slightly cool, pressing and teasing over his hole, "'Rora," Swiss says, eyes going between the ghoulette's face and the peek of a damp spot on her panties, just under where the dildo rests against her cunt. "Do you want me to—" he trails off, a groan leaving his lips when Aeon's worked a finger into him.

"Sweet," Aurora says, "But not right now," she says, dragging her claws along Swiss's inner thigh, feeling the shudder of muscle under his skin, "Maybe later if you're a good boy."

Swiss groans, both from Aeon crooking his finger inside as he drags it out and from Aurora's offering—he can't help that he loves to go down on people, that he'll gladly spend hours between someone's thighs to get them off over and over if they asked.

She holds it over his head, only offers it as a reward sometimes, most of the time deeming him not worthy enough for it even though he'll drop to his knees when and wherever she asks him to.

"Right now I want you right where you are, and then when Aeon deems you ready, you're going to sit on my cock for a bit."

Another moan punches it's way out of Swiss's throat and he digs his nails, thankfully blunt and human, into Aurora's shoulders as Aeon works another finger into him.

Aeon is always so thorough with it, taking his time no matter how much Swiss begs, it's hot, the way he gets so laser focused on fingering him open—curling and stretching and spreading his fingers, all the way up until Swiss is desperate and squirming.

Not that he can squirm right now, not with Aurora holding onto him and Aeon at his back, the two of them pinning him in place, spread open on Aurora's lap.

He loses time for a while then, pinned and spread, unable to move even as Aeon works three and then four fingers into him.

"Listen to you," Aurora whispers, petting her hand down his flank, "You sound so wet for me," she leans in and presses a kiss to the center of his chest, "You're going to fit so well around me, so warm." She peers up at him, bats her eyelashes at him, "Do you want to sit on my cock now, baby?"

Swiss moans, Aeon's fingers curling in, in, in until they're pressing against his prostate and he shakes in their hold, begging now, words falling from his lips in a jumbled mess.

And then, Aeon's fingers slip out, the sound loud and wet, his hands gripping Swiss by the waist to guide him as Aurora's hands drop from his body, one hand curling around the base of her cock to keep it steady.

It's no bigger than what he's used to, but the thickness, the unforgiving hardness of it draws a long, low moan out of him as the two of them guide him down until he's sitting in Aurora's lap, bowed over her body, his face pressed into her hair.

Her hands pet along his back, she's shushing him, he realizes, comforting him because he's shaking, shivering, babbling into her hair about how good she feels, thanking her over and over and over until she laughs, soft and fond.

"Just you wait," she promises softly, barely giving him any time to adjust to her being inside him before Aeon's fingers, slick and warm now are pressing around his hole again, where he's stretched wide around the base of Aurora's cock.

"S'not gonna fit," Swiss mumbles, the words tumbling out even as he shifts so he can give Aeon more room to work.

It draws a laugh from the two of them and Aeon takes even more time to pet around where he's stretched, fingers disappearing and coming back every so often with more lube.

It leaves Swiss floating, seated on a cock while being pet and teased, a promise of more each time Aeon presses his finger inwards until the very tip of it slips in beside Aurora.

Aeon and Swiss moan together, Aeon's forehead dropping to rest against Swiss' back while he works, making low and inhuman sounds deep in his throat all the while.

Swiss relaxed more into it, trusting Aurora to hold most of his weight as he sinks further into her embrace and she drags her fingers down his sides, over his thighs, any part of his skin that she can touch, she's there.

It takes time, but eventually, Aeon's got two fingers pressed inside him along with Aurora's cock and Aurora's hand is now on Swiss' hip, guiding him to rock back against Aeon, "Careful," she chides when Swiss goes a little too fast and freezes for a moment, the stretch a lot, "Slow," she tightens her hand on his hip and controls his speed, his movement until he's shuddering and shaking against her.

"Oh, oh," he says, eyes shooting open wide suddenly, "I'm going to come," he whispers in surprise, wrapping both his arms right around Aurora's shoulders for leverage.

"Good," she says, petting his side with her other hand, "Come for us," she coos, pushing up so she can press a kiss to his chin, the movement shifting her cock inside of him until it's pressing firm against his prostate.

Swiss shakes apart in her arms, muffling his surprised shout in Aurora's hair when Aeon's fingers slip inside him deeper.

"Will you let Aeon fuck you while I'm still inside you?" Aurora asks, and this is her way of giving him an out—he can so no now, and they'll end it here, clean up and cuddle and maybe table this for a later date, but he is curious, the heat in his gut still insatiable.

So, he nods, "Yes," he says out loud when he feels Aurora tap her fingers against his side, "Please, I can take you both. I can take it."

He doesn't have to beg now, knowing that they're going to give it to him since he asked for it, but he feels the way Aeon's fingers twitch inside him, barely giving much of a warning before he's trying to work another finger inside him to loosen him up.

It has the desired effect on Aeon, the begging, for once he seems more eager to give into Swiss's breathless pleas instead of trying to drag it out longer.

It's almost too much, the overstimulation, but by the time Aeon's pulling his fingers from inside Swiss, he's already starting to get hard again.

"Just, let us know if this is too much," Aeon says, breathless all on his own as he plants a hand on Swiss's back for leverage, his other hand guiding himself forward until he's pressed tight where Swiss is already so stretched and pink. "Shit, if you could see yourself." He whispers, and that's all the warning Swiss gets before Aeon's pushing inside.

It's a lot, it's almost nearly too much and Swiss cries out in pleasure even as his cock starts going soft again at the overwhelming sensation of it all.

Aeon doesn't get far in, just barely beyond the head of his cock pressed up against Aurora's before he stops, breathing heavily against Swiss's back, "Let me know when I can move," he whispers, "Won't go in too far this time. We can work up to it."

Swiss moans weakly at his words, thinking about several more times of this, of being stuck between these two while they do their best to fit inside him together.

It does something to him. Makes him want to keep these two all for himself.

"Can move," Swiss mumbles eventually, inhaling sharply as Aeon grabs his hips and pulls back until just the tip is inside him, "Oh," he says, dumb again on the pleasure. "I'm not going to last long," he paws at Aurora, his fingers slipping on sweat slicked lace as he tries to grab at her. "Oh baby thank you, thank you, thank you." He murmurs into her hair as he rides the waves of Aeon fucking him, moving him on both of their cocks.

Aeon laughs behind him, the sound going a bit strangled as Swiss clenches around him, "Fuck, you feel amazing like this," he says, pressing a dusting of kisses along Swiss's shoulder blades. "Are you going to come untouched again?" He asks, somewhat eager as his pace picks up, jolting the larger ghoul between the two of them with each well placed thrust.

"Uh huh," Swiss manages to get out, his claws tearing through lace as he feels it build, between being overwhelmingly full and smelling their arousal, all mingled together, it has Swiss's mind on the fritz, a low growl in his throat as he reaches his peak once again.

This time, Aeon pulls out before he can come inside Swiss, shushing the taller ghoul as he helps him maneuver off of Aurora and onto his back on the bed, "Next time," he says, a lopsided smile on his face as he wraps a hand around himself, stroking one, two, three times before he comes across Swiss's thighs and spent cock before collapsing in a heap beside him.

Aurora laughs at Aeon and shakes her head as she shifts around, first taking off the harness and discarding that to the floor for later and then she wiggles her way out of her panties.

Swiss is watching her, eyes trained on her cunt now, slick, the hair matted down a bit with signs of her arousal. He wants so bad.

She grins at him, spreading herself out on the bed and beckoning him closer.

His limbs feel heavy as he tries to roll over, eventually, Aeon's there with hands under his arms, rolling him onto his stomach until he's nestled between her thighs.

As Aurora's high moans echo off the walls of the bedroom, Aeon shakes his head and settles on his back beside the two, "Insatiable," he says with a little laugh before Aurora's hand is in his hair, pulling him up into a messy, off center kiss.

Just picked up this drunk girl from the vet after getting her teefies cleaned today 🐈‍⬛🪥❤️🥴 everything went well, she's just coming off being sedated so she's all stumbly and her eyes are fully dilated lol

#also they only charged us a fraction of what we were quoted??? the quote they gave us last week said $900 all in #its 'dental month' so they took off 20% for that.. and they didn't charge us for the “full day professional care” which would've been $190 #which i guess makes sense because we picked her up early instead of leaving her there until 3pm like originally planned #but then there's another discount on the bill for another $150 off and its just labelled “courtesy discount”???? #you always hear about vets wanting to charge more than needed... not the opposite... i love our vet #we've been going there for over a decade now #vet stuff

I understand this is a “neurotypical thing”, and like you don’t necessarily have to respond to it. But like, don’t ask me something if you aren’t gonna respond back 🙃

#it’s also rude #but like it’s also something neurotypical people seem to do and not question #which is weird to me #like I get it but I don’t get it 🧍🏾‍♀️ #actually autistic #I understand it’s like a courtesy thing?? ik they don’t really care how I’m doing but still it makes no sense 💀

i remember when darkness kanagi came out and people were like "omg butch kanagi?!" and all i could think was... i mean, yes, and she looks perfect like this, but she has always been butch kanagi to me. the whole appeal she has as a maid is that she is absolutely not the type of person one would expect to see in a maid dress. (you could argue that vampnagi is the same deal, since kanagi is like "why" when she sees the vampire outfit that mitama coordinated for her.) even her first-person pronoun, 自分 (jibun), is mostly used by men.

so while she does have some feminine outfits, it's all about that contrast between the style and the wearer. the specific charm of masc women wearing cute clothes... think about it...

#actually now that i think about it her swimsuit and winter outfit are both courtesy of mitama too #mitama just wants to see a cool tough military-type girl in a skirt or bikini and you know what. good taste. #it's like crossdressing but not crossdressing. if that makes sense to anyone but me #''girl who looks like a guy dressed as a girl'' is one of my favorite specific niches #(as you can probably tell from the way i draw san and gunhild orz... though san in particular is at the farther end of the scale) #(i see kanagi as more on the lean side) #magia record #izumi kanagi

Thoughts on toxic yuri?

One of my very favorite storytelling concepts, I love it when women make each other worse. <3

I do think it's important, for me anyway, to note the difference between a dynamic that's toxic in one direction versus something that is mutually toxic. The first one doesn't really interest me a whole lot, usually because it means one character suffers constantly without being allowed to do anything else--at the very least, it will come across as the more ""normal"" character not really being that into the relationship in question. I need BOTH parties to be unhinged.

The important thing for any fictional relationship (though we're specifying toxic yuri here, obviously) is that it's interesting. If there is no limit to what the women can do within a dynamic, then there are an infinite number of ways for that dynamic to go. And while you can learn a lot about a character through examining their values and positive qualities, you can learn just as much (if not more) by considering their flaws. And those flaws really come out in the case of toxic yuri; characters get to show the uglier parts of themselves in this context, which I am always a fan of. A fraught, complex relationship, when written well, can be a really great way to psychologically explore the characters: what inspires them to act this way? why do they think this behavior is acceptable? if they don't think it's acceptable, why do they keep doing it? what do they think about the concept of love as a whole? how far would they go for intimacy or to be understood? how do they view other people in general? and probably most importantly, what led to them developing the beliefs underlying their actions in the first place?

From a more "psychologically, why do people enjoy this" standpoint, mutual toxicity often goes hand in hand with extreme obsession, extreme jealousy, and a willingness to forgive a whole lot of horrible shit. Which, yeah, in real life you don't want to be in a relationship like that. But I think there's a lot of emotional resonance in exploring those feelings. The idea that someone will never leave you. That they think so intensely about you specifically that they'll break anything and anyone to stay with you. That even if you're the worst version of yourself, someone will still want you because that's still you. Someone knows exactly how to fuck you up because they genuinely understand you. Things in fiction that we would never want in real life can be incredibly interesting or even cathartic to witness from a distance. I think we all feel things that scare us sometimes (or even simply feel an innocuous emotion so intensely that it scares us), and looking at unpleasant feelings within fiction can help identify, parse out, process, and successfully cope with those feelings. And I think, at the end of it all, a lot of people want to matter to someone, in some way. It makes sense that some creators would take that concept-of meaning a great deal to another person, of affecting them deeply-to its absolute extreme through writing.

(And also, consider. That I am very gay. And that horrible women are very attractive.)

modern au transfem jin ling my beloved. jiang cheng who is at a loss when it comes to raising a girl. he finds himself referring to his memories jiang yanli when she was a child and it hurts so much. jiang cheng who has never given much thought to the gender binary but now wishes he could fight it and punch it with his fists because that would be easier and make his niece happy. jiang cheng helping jin ling with her hair... they both look at her in the mirror and she looks so much like her mother that jiang cheng tears up. they go shopping. they both hate it. meng yao has to help with that part. he’s soft spoken and effective. if jin ling wants to officially come out, he’ll arrange for it. he’ll handle the paperwork. talk to her school. talk to her doctor. somehow it works out. and in the end, jin ling is happier.

#this is incoherent this makes no sense i just have feelings abt trans aus and hcs and shit #jin ling is soooo trans i dont make the rules #transmasc transfem nonbinary the WORKS #whether he's being raised by his uncles or by his parents. god knows jin zixuan tryign to parent a trans child is. hilarious. #this post is probably cringe but u guys get to have it #jin ling #jiang cheng #meng yao #jin guangyao #i write meng yao for modern aus bc like. something something changing his name would be more of a hassle without the concept of courtesy #names something something #idk #mdzs #cql #the untamed #PLEASE talk to me about this au i want to discuss have fun #clem's corner

Just got surprised by an unexpected Matt Bellamy/Alex Turner cameo during my binge of Taskmaster 😁

Hope this is okay to bring up but all th points u made in that post abt ppl white woman-Ifying viktor Yeah. It’s impossible 2 scroll through certain tags on this site (or any tbh) without seeing some bad jayce take because people don’t understand they’re completely separate characters. Or refuse to read viktor as he actually acts in arcane OR league just because he’s their scrungly sad little meow meow who can do no wrong and everyone and everything is out to get him. It’s incredibly annoying too because people are Making content based on league lore, but are basing it off other people’s fics instead of reading the lore, so it’s like a self repeating cycle, not sure how else to explain it but it just sucks ass and it makes it hard to interact with th majority of ppl making art for the two of them

that is true! sorry, didn't mean to localise it as an issue particular to just arcane because yeah, it's been happening since the arrival of 2016 viktor's lore (and maybe even before). i can't count the number of times jayce has been accused of genocide(?) or stealing blitzcrank by hiding him in his trenchcoat and running away or purposely trying to get viktor expelled (in the order of significance ascribed by most fans), or any other weird crimes people can dream up because the fact is that if you look at his biography instead of basing your entire knowledge off of drabbles and AUs and author's notes and inside jokes and references he did... none of these things?

like there's nothing gloating about how he describes viktor getting expelled -- i'd argue he didn't intend for it to happen at all. but somehow in fandom discussions or reddit posts people stretch it to jayce stealing viktor's wife and kids or whatever i really don't get it! and if you argue from the lens of interpretation i'm not sure what textual basis you'd have for that at all given that jayce is notably distraught after losing viktor.

of course jayce doesn't do himself any favours by not mentioning blitzcrank, or trying to defend himself, but you only really fall victim to thinking viktor was in the right by doing an entirely surface level reading without realising, hey, maybe trying to strip people of free will is bad?

i understand being more emotionally engaged with viktor's side of the story, and if you read jayce's biography after reading viktor's your viewpoint is already shaped by the uncharitable way viktor depicts him, but honestly if you're going to try to engage with these characters in a serious level i'd at least ask for you to try and figure out what is going on (or don't, if it's more fun i guess i can't really police how you consume fictional men).

the "genocide" that they believe is happening (please google what genocide is) is so... GUYS HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY VIKTOR WAS ABLE TO CONTROL AND ORDER AROUND THE AUTOMATONS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ZAUNITES' NEW BODIES? like there is room for nuance here obviously if you can be bothered to think it through but at a surface level glance viktor is not in the right here. i'll defend viktor and write him and love him until the day i die but that's not because i agree with what he is doing, it'd be because i enjoy him as a character and find him interesting to explore.

maybe people conflate this emotional attachment with the belief that since so much wrong has been done to him (which i won't deny, just that a lot of it wasn't jayce's fault) viktor must be in the right, and jayce becomes the target of this righteous anger because how dare you not defend this poor little meow meow victim of all of society's faults!

and all of these things are multiplied tenfold by looking at it through the lens of arcane and refusing to even consider how the two SEPARATE iterations would fuse together. now white woman A!viktor is dying, and isn't that just so pitiful? why WOULDN'T you let him commit all those atrocities, and if you REALLY LOVED HIM you wouldn't BETRAY HIM AND SELL HIM OUT! WHICH TALIS DOES NOT DO BECAUSE THOSE EVENTS ARE NOT PART OF ARCANE THEY ARE PART OF LEAGUE! or something or the other. and frankly this is just disrespectful to all four characters.

the image most arcane-only fans have of giopara would be "asshole", which is true, but he's also a complex layered character that loses a lot if you choose to reduce him to one archetype, and if you choose to misinterpret a character and then blame him for your misinterpretation it's like... well i really don't get it but it's whatever because it's for real just a video game biography/TV show.

#bon.docx #long post #anonymous #answered #don't even wanna expound on how much of this is people looking at them and seeing ''big brown man and frail pale twink'' #it's just so... #anyway if you're going to have the worst takes ever i'd at least ask for you to do the courtesy of looking at the source material #or not i'm literally just some guy you don't have to care #it's a tv show/game #scratches head i just feel like writing improves a lot from having a sense of characterisation #sorry if i sound like an elitist fuck over a tv show/game i just like reading things that make sense #also don't understand people's needs to be like ''I DON'T ENDORSE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!'' like league is substance abuse or something #but if it makes you feel better because league killed your gecko or something then i can't say anything

WHAT'S YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE?

DAN HENG : You respond to quality words.

Once your partner gives you their full attention, for you and only you, you feel fulfilled. You feel grateful when they listen to you all the way, without interrupting, trying to understand your thoughts and feelings, without necessarily giving you their point of view or ‘advice’. Another of your essential needs is the need to share time together. Whether for an activity: a short walk, a movie, a spot of shopping, a romantic dinner, a weekend away together, a meaningful discussion… even watching a tv programme that you will discuss afterwards. The main thing is that you share a quality moment together – and not with your partner’s attention elsewhere. During these moments, you feel loved and appreciated – ‘my partner is interested in me and is ready to spend time with me and for me to share something that i like doing’.

Some advice: if your partner has understood your language of love, then you are happy. However, if this isn’t quite the case, then you can perhaps make a few suggestions that will help forge your couple even further. While you are both talking, teach them the art of paying attention to you, doing nothing else during that time. Explain to them that you aren’t looking for answers, but more of a sympathetic ear and empathy, that can even been in silence. To be sure that they’ve understood you and that you’ve understood each other, ask them to paraphrase whatever it is you’ve told them and what they understood about your thoughts and feeling. Good listening comes from the desire of the listener to understand your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Finally, to make sure that you actually get time together, why not open your agendas and fix your common activities, at home or outside – at least once a fortnight?

#muse: dan heng. #* dan heng. / development. #Yeah... DH is big on quality time AND on quality words! #He enjoys spending time w his loved ones no matter if they're talking about smth or just sitting in silence in close proximity for 3 hours #And then there are the quality words... he's not used to hearing them; which is why they hit So hard when he finally receives any #Leaning on sb else is still a pretty foreign concept to him even tho he /tries/ to open up more nowadays; and quality words that show #him that the other person /wants/ to understand him better and /wants/ to help him for no reason other than their love for him does a lot #Same for quality words in the compliments sense. Most of his life all he's ever received have been hateful remarks so being complimented #feels... a bit odd. Thankfully he's slowly getting used to it courtesy of the Express crew & people he's met in different worlds #but receiving compliments from those close to him & those he respects will always make him warm inside

can't decide on their relationship? Make two AUs, one where it's friendship and the other where they're gay as hell for each other (/pos)

Don't think I'll split it up; the jury's pretty solid on this one. Democratically elected re-marriage
