“old woman yuri” My raw throat gutturally cried to the sky, my torturing shrieks of sheer unhinged agony echoing in the omnipresent empty space seemingly stretching out for eternity.

Every time someone talks about the military fraternization law with royai and says that “Roy will “just change it” if he gets promoted to fuhrer I lose years off my life.

#number one: fraternization laws are important and often protect people from abuse or coersion in places of a strong power imbalance #so no Roy would not just get rid of them #he and riza would want to keep those people protected even if their dynamic isn’t abusive #number two: if Roy were to become Fuhrer it’s a different system of command than the immediate superior officer of colonel and lieutenant #so forgive me I’m wrong but I’m sure there’s a position they could give Riza where she could still work with and guard him #while not breaking fraternization laws #anyways I don’t hc that they get together officially until way later in life anyway after Roy steps down as Fuhrer/president #that is if they don’t get executed #so ig I’m biased cause I think the whole bypassing frat laws thing is the least of their worries #fma #fmab #royai #riza hawkeye #roy mustang #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #grace rambles #royai meta

child!luca who comes from the greatly respected kaneshiro family, one filled with generation after generation of loyal knights. luca, who grew up alongside the reader, the eldest child and heir to the crown. luca, who trained tirelessly day in and day out to feel worthy of the title of imperial knight. luca, who watches the reader from afar and blushes when they compliment his form.

luca, who gets knighted at only 15—the youngest to ever do so—and joins the imperial guard. his father praises his skill and celebrates his newfound knighthood and achievement with a party, but halfway through luca slips away from the crowd and ends up on a balcony. he admires the moon and prays that you remember him

knight!luca who watches with concealed worry at your coronation after the sudden death of your parents, who clutches the sword at his side tightly after hearing thinly veiled insults thrown at you from unimpressed nobles

knight!luca who serves his beloved emperor, who becomes the captain of the imperial knights and trains his subordinates to become the best they can be to protect you.

knight!luca who is assigned to guard you as you sleep, who averts his eyes when you begin to undress before him after dismissing the aids

knight!luca who stays oh so impossibly still when you brush a hand across his armored chest, heat radiating from his cheeks as he clenches his fists in an effort not to touch you. you, who is so radiant and beautiful, who is beyond his status as a knight and shouldn't, cannot be sullied by his callused hands and scarred fingers. you, who tucks a stray strand of blonde hair that escaped his ponytail behind his ear and strokes his cheek with clear fondness.

you, who knows your most loyal knight by name, who knows his favorite food and his drink of choice on his rare days off. you, who has watched him just as much as he's watched you, who has prayed for his safe return after a hard fought battle against invading forces. you, who tenderly removes every armor piece, every weapon from his body and drags him to your bed.

knight!luca who falls harder every day, who leaves sweet kisses against your hair and writes unspoken confessions into your skin. who lays beside you every night holding you tightly to his chest and thanking the gods every day for having the honor of loving you.

#im so mentally ill rn #god i need him so bad #this is mildly different from my othe luca royalty au i've been thinking abt #that one is an arranged marriage 😏 #this one tho. reader and luca r equally obsessed with each other #sorry if this doesn't make sense btw it's 2:30 in the morning and i didn't read over this LAWLLLLL #luvxiem.writing #luca.txt #luca kaneshiro x reader #knight x ruler is one of my fave dynamics #this is why zelink is superior #a loyal knight and his beloved princess #gnawing on the bars of my enclosure

i havent gushed about how in love i am with their album cover yet but i am so obsessed with how it looks like natsume and tsumugi are like soras two henchmen. his body guards. his goons. one tells truths the other tells lies. his servants standing by their kings throne. willing to act upon soras smallest request in an instant. to get to sora you must get through them first. get too close and you will aggro them.

OUGH thinking about Phillip Morgan's hands as a defining feature of his character.... Phillip tightening the rope that kills Kenneth with his hands... Brandon gently pulling the gloves off of Phillip's hands... Phillip playing the piano with his hands... Phillip opening the champagne bottle for Brandon with his hands... Phillip breaking the glass with his hands... Phillip cutting getting cut on the stem and spreading blood on his hands... Phillip getting his fortune read by his hands... Phillip grabbing and aiming the gun with his hands... "these hands will bring you great fame"

#rope 1948 #phillip morgan #sometimes rope just hits you #was thinking again about how phillip always does the actual physical work when it comes to him and brandon #and how brandon pulling the gloves off for him was a momentary reversal #too early in the movie to realize what a reversal it actually was #actually i would kill for a gifset of all the times brandon deferred to phillip because it wasn't many but it was so so real #like when phillip tells him to turn the light off and he does #or any time brandon looks cowed by phillip #because the fact that brandon actually truly cared about phillip was so strange and so touching #his whole act dropping for a second every time he was worried about or offended by phillip #like babe you are a narcissistic murderer who LOVES to be uppity and superior #and yet you drop every pretense when you see phillip is hurt #remember when brandon told phillip to stop drinking and phillip snapped at him #and brandon actually backed down instantly? #i do #and i think about it constantly #their dynamic was sooooooo so interesting #...maybe I need to watch rope again

I have a question for you what do you think of the quote unquote age gap between Bloom and Valtor?

I had to do alot of research to understand Bloom age when I started to like this ship better than Mr cheater. So here's a brief information dump:

Bloom is 16 in the first episode and its confirm her bday is December 10 (we don't know the the exact year when each girl was born only the fact Stella is the oldest by that logic Bloom is the second youngest out of the group) when we get to season 3 it is confirmed that the girls is in their 3rd semester so that makes Bloom 19 at point. Valtor's age we do not know however I'm going to say at most early 20s from what we know Valtor working with a younger Griffin before he got Popsicled.

Here comes the tricky part. In s4 the girls just finished their semester and graduated making them 20-21. Up until s5 where Nicklodeon had to reboot their age making them 16 again. Flashforward to s8 and that makes Bloom age 19 if you are following the reboot or 23 if you do not follow the reboot. Since we don't know how long Valtor been frozen his mental age is up for debate.

For me personally I don't see Sparxshipping as an Edward and Bella situation as Edward was aging naturally during his years while Valtor was frozen and couldn't age naturally but only mentally.

Okay okay first of all! Your Bloom math checks out and I just realized that I for some reason always thought Bloom is 18 in s3. Which is still possible, I think, I just dont know why I assumed that. Actually no, it works, if she is 16 in s1 she is 17 in s2 and 18 in s3, but we dont know a lot about how the school years work in Magix so I'm gonna jot her down as 18-19 for the remainder of this post.

Still dont know how I passed math btw.

Anyway. Valtor's age is where the real mystery is at. We've got two possibilities in my opinion.

1. He's pulling the ageless immortal card.

My personal go-to for fics and discussions. Love me some 300 year old mommy issues. He has too much practice being a messy bitch, there's no fixing this man folks.

Evidence: There's a flashback showing him with Griffin as a tween: she looks MUCH younger, he looks exactly the same. Unless he also stole the secret magic of the world's most potent anti aging cream, or Griffin's proximity to Faragonda just aged her by three more decades, he does not age.

2. He is the age he looks.

Which, in my humble opinion, would not put him anywhere near twenty. That is a grown man. He's not college age, unless you count college professors under that word. Even if I were good at guessing ages the very stylized art style would throw me for a loop, but im gonna say 40s, give or take. Look at Avalon, look at Codatorta, look at King Radius if u must. That is the age range we're looking at.

Evidence: I dont have any. We're ballin'. I guess it's never explicitly stated he's immortal, which you'd think would be big enough of a deal to mention. If u got something feel free to let me know.

That being said, the Winx Club Wiki page for the canon timeline (ha, good one) puts the time of Valtor's creation in a rough time frame from "Over 17 years before season 1" to "Under 100 years before season 6". So he could technically be anywhere from 17-97, though I'm not sure the upper limit is as reliable as the lower one, given the check-list format of the website. So make of that what you will.

Now that we've got the question of age out of the way, lets get to the age gap. I have no idea what the situation in twilight was to be honest, so I cant compare that.

Realistically, there's at least a decade between Bloom and Valtor. Possibly two decades and change. And that is just from visible age, we can add a few centuries on top of that if we're sticking with the immortal bit. I'm gonna be gonest, I dont think being frozen for 17 years will make a whole lot of difference here.

If you find that icky, which is fair, you can always change that for fics tho! Either turn him into a twenty year old or put Bloom in her milf-era, the options are endless. Personally, I think the age difference is half the fun though, and also the least of their issues. When you're off making out with the objectively worst person in history, wether he's too old for her isnt gonna rank very high on people's list of concerns.

#asks #sparxshipping #winx bloom #winx valtor #i think their very obvious gap in knowledge and experience is very intrinsic to their canon dynamic #Bloom being the underdog while Valtor is VERY convinced of his superiority kind of defines the ship for me #and it makes it so much more satisfying when Bloom does put him on his ass

There was always something between Soap and Ghost, just a way that they both gravitated like helpless stars to the suns pull, like earth and the moon spinning round and round but never touching.

It’s years of the circling that has people thinking maybe neither of them will ever let go, but on the same vein neither will pull the other in those last fleeting distances between them. Gaz and Price both lost their bets, because the tension never resolved but never worsens, it just exists. They are together but not officially— neither saying a word.

Everyone just assumes one of them will die before they confront whatever it is.

It’s a close call.

Ghost had been caught in an enemy explosion, the building nearly falling on him but only clipping him. He had to get emergency surgery, rushed down to the best hospital while his team nervously awaits the news of their friend. Nurses don’t coddle them, and a stern woman tells them he’s going to live but he’s one arm down and won’t be coming back to active duty again.

It’s then that it spills, but it’s not Soap who does the talking.

It’s ghost.

“I couldn’t act on anything I’d wanted if I was your boss.” He said quietly on the dark of the night, still illuminated by blinding hospital whites. And Soap understands then, more than he ever did before just how Ghost operated. People saw him and thought he could get anything he wanted, a living legend of murder, knives sharpened by the teeth of an enemy, shots taken in the dead of night without goggles hitting a target dead on. Ghost was a legend, untouchable— and he was Soap’s boss. Never superior though that was the term, never had he wanted that power over another person. Someone could think he did, that maybe a man like him wanted to be in charge, to be in control.

Ghost simply looks at Soap like a man who’d just lost his arm and gained the world, an even trade to the bedridden man, “I was your boss, but now I’m not.”

All Soap heard was ‘were equals now, both in our minds and in reality— we are equal now.’

He smiles so gently and knows there’s something that he has to do before they’re equal, “You’re not. Let’s get you better, I’ll take leave.”

All Ghost heard was ‘I’ll take care of you.’

#cod gaz #ghost cod #simon ghost riley #soapghost #ghostsoap #this post brought to you by someone who in reality deeply despises power dynamics #I know how dangerous it is to think you’re close to a superior and get hurt because work comes before you. #anyway enough rambling #don’t read my tags LMAO #sergent writes #cod soap #tw injury #tw loss of limb

um. ickywars sweep?

this is how ickywars can still win

#in my defense i said to temper your expectations #believe it or not but i actually do like the ship and i think they could really have something if circumstances weren't different #okay rant time but warriors having an oc boyfriend is a common trope right? so often the boyfriend is a fellow soldier or a sheikah warrior #which. fair. but also THE FRATERNIZATION!!! HE IS A SUPERIOR OFFICER #which is why Warriors having a weird situationship with an agent of an enemy state is a fantastic alternative #pros: warriors is not capable of having a normal relationship ever. it's funny. the enemy agent is mean to him in a way he thinks is hot #they can have a fun little dynamic where they're teasing each other about treason and spilling national secrets #it would be fantastic #cons: NONE #like you don't even need to make it icarius #just go ahead and make this the common trope for oc boyfriends #i want this to be my cultural impact #me rambling #lu ctb #ask #linked universe #anonymous #ctb is a comedy

How does somebody whose only shipped lesbian ships before become so obsessed with Erehisu?

Y'see, anon, it's a little something called "bisexuality"

#i actually watched aot becuz of yumihisu but then i read the manga and i slapped my head and said #'shit why did they cut off so many scenes of them together' #them being erehisu #and then ymir fritz dropped and THEN i listened to that Linked Horizon song where a baby wailed at the end #then im like yooooooo fcuking hell theyre future parents to this poor girl omggggg #honestly i stumbled into erehisu by my own becuz after reading the uprising arc in the manga i felt like i had to do the ship justice #just cuz how overlooked it was and how i realized that they probably had the better chemistry #the more i looked into their characterizations and parallels to each other #like them being burdened putting up a fake facade just for others and having to come to terms to it #as well as the way their family shaped them (carla frieda and freckled ymir are the goats) #it wasnt much back then BUT THEN i read apple and lamp theory #and its soooooooo fucking beautiful it just seared into my mind forever. #Enemies To Humanity is something so unbelievable yet fascinating to me as a dynamic but it all clicked the moment i put it in its context #i dont support whatever the fuck the alt-right part of the fandom has of it thats another ball game #i ship erehisu in the way i percieve it to be the most fitting to the mature themes of the story #its not the first 'straight' ship i liked but it IS the first ship where i think it's ultimately superior to others including the wlw ships #thats why im so obsessed with them

The other thing with Gruvia is that a lot of the people who hate it really just don't like the "yandere" archetype/dynamic. Which is fine and tbh gruvia is an exception for me because I've always hated yandere characters in everything else (plus her yandere aspects are admittedly what I like least about her) but it's sort of weird to see these posts that are like "No you know what FUCK gruvia because *literal perfect description of the exact archetype Mashima was going for with this character*"

#pro gruvia #pro-gruvia #gruvia #like you're not going to kill an entire archetype beloved and characterized for its flaws #by hating it more loudly. you're just going to get blocked. #like id personally be happier if there were fewer yandere characters and i think the entire notion is actually misogynistic but #at the end of the day its fiction and it would be ridiculous and arrogant for me to sit here claiming moral or intellectual superiority #over people who like the trope. it's ludicrous to assume they think the dynamic is healthy irl like thats not a thing.

James dies fifth year. Oh no. Tell me everything 😈

hellooooo 💜💜

so. its an itty bitty oneshot with the potential to be more where im basically trying to explore an AU where snape’s sectumsempra (that he used on james in swm) does more than just create a gash. we know it’s a dangerous spell, what if it did to james what say, harry had done to draco? or snape to george’s ear?

what if it killed him?

now, snape is not that important here. he fucks up, kills a classmate yes. but what about sirius, the other half of james’ soul? how does he deal with the aftermath of something like this? especially considering this is 5th year when he’s already fucked up wrt his family and everything—probably the peak of his hormonal emotions and all as well. he already has a low opinion of snape and this incident would just tip it into blind rage, no?

idk. just. interested in a world without james for sirius and how that would affect him (after all my soapboxes on how i think james and his unconditional acceptance was extremely important to sirius’ growth arc, and making his rough edges smoother etc etc)

(a lil snippet here!)

#james potter #it’s like. teens are hotheaded and arrogant and shortsighted #and i think snape had both an inferiority and a superiority complex #and might e overestimated himself/underestimated the spell #might have* #so how does that universe turn out? #i’m not interested in…bashing snape exactly—bc the central figure in this is sirius and his grief and the kind of hole james potter leaves b #behind* #but also lightly touch upon the power dynamics at play and how sirius might use them to his advantage to a #to take revenge on snape* #basically i want sirius to lose control #and what of the marauders after that hmm #pen’s writing #pen’s asks

Did Jackie really love Shaunna or was her relationship with her based more on control/ownership, superiority?

right so outside of my inbox you're free to have whatever interpretation you want of this show and i'll just scroll and ignore it but you really came to My Inbox to bait me with that boring ass shit huh. for what reason. but anyways yeah let's talk about why that is blatantly untrue not only because it's contrary to the intention of literally every creator who spoke about it but also because of what we see on screen

so. you focused on jackie specifically. i somehow never see people (on here at least i don't ever leave this website it's scary out there) doubt shauna's love for jackie and that's been bothering me since like mid season 1 sooooo is it cause. let's face it. majority of tumblrinas were never a Popular Girl (no offense. i was not the popular girl either and very much more of a shauna - in terms of being in my bestie's shadow - in my own toxic best friendship)? like i have seen people vilifying jackie since i stepped my foot in this fandom over a year ago even when objectively she's one of the only characters who doesn't really do anything bad. even when the characters themselves confirm she wasn't a goddamn bitch like my god episode ONE of season one is them talking about wanting to freeze out a member and how jackie would be against it. but because people relate more to shauna and how she's in jackie's shadow there seems to be an urge to not give the same space to be messy and toxic (and still love!) to jackie that people give to shauna.

now am i saying that the way jackie loved shauna was Definitely Healthy or whatever? no. i think shauna was correct in a lot of what she said to jackie before jackie's death except that's it isn't it? shauna was never honest with jackie. the LOOK on jackie's face when shauna says some of those things? that girl didn't even have any idea that shauna doesn't like fucking soccer cause shauna never told her. and jackie is so visibly actually INSECURE. is it possible that feeling like the popular one next to shauna made her feel good? even if only on a subconscious level? duh. but what are you even trying to say here? that every scene where we see how much she cares for shauna (teasing her in ep one but then making sure shauna knows how much she means to her, bringing her valium for the flight because she Knows shauna and wanted to make this experience easier for her, giving her a good luck necklace to calm her nerves, sharing that food ration, immediately hugging shauna and wanting to support her when she first found out shauna was pregnant, fucking saving her from the plane at the expense of van etc) is all some act? cause that girl can't even fake being into sex with her boyfriend so we're still saying she puts a hell of a lot more effort into pretending to care for shauna. sure

#if i sound mad its cause i am. #have bad jackie taylor opinions outside of my inbox. make a post. im the local jackie taylor defender #and she could be a bitch sometimes! duh! i love those characters even more when they're bitchy #but i draw the line at trying to reduce her to some mean girl some of you people apparently wanted her to be since the first eps lmao #funny thing to say abt ownership and superiority only to accuse jackie of when shauna screams in jackie's face #that jackie peaked in hs and then ate her ear and married her boyfriend #face it! they love each other and its fucked up weirdly obsessive codependent and generally quite a toxic dynamic #bc of all their insecurities and the way they're not being entirely honest with each other #yellowjackets blogging #yellowjackets spoilers #i think only in the tags but still #shaunajackie #jackie

Barbara Roberts

Nickname: Barbie ✨💕

Favorite Color: Pink and Lilac

Favorite Drink: Hot Chocolate

Favorite Film: Barbie and the Island Princess

Height: 5’5

Named after the famous gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss herself, Barbara “Barbie” Roberts. The once shy and introverted turned, fashion adviser, vet tech, pageant queen, and occasional birthday party princess ✨

PSSSSSSSS: Definitely go and check out @lacunafiction ‘s “The Fernweh Saga” immediately!111!

Facts:

If you think the cast hasn’t been forced to watch the entirety of the BCU (Barbie Cinematic Universe and as of 2023 currently sitting at 42 films 💅), you need to spend more time with Barbie.

Barbie and Mrs. Verner will never get along … at first. Barbie isn’t one to not have the first AND last words in a conversation. (Definitely not my way of saying the office scene with R would turn out any different but…. 👀 Mrs. Verner will know she’s making a mistake even if it means Barbie has to talk over her to get her point across.)

But I also like to think that they would swimming get along once they have a common interest (cough R cough) because Barbie sees Mrs. Verner as a respectable, powerful woman. Hopefully Mrs. Verner can also see that in Barbie.

💕RO’s:

💕B - They are so in tune with each other that they unknowingly copy the other’s movements. Literally the bestest of friends. Would have shared a bed with B because why wouldn’t you want a week long sleepover with your bestie as you explore your childhood town!

💕S - Once they are in a deeper relationship, Barbie and S would braid each other’s hair. Barbie also adopts adding a pink section of hair to match S’ cerulean. Mrs. Dorian would also have so many pictures of S and Barbie napping on the couch.

💕R - R once broke Barbie’s Barbie in a game of keep away in grade school, which made Barbie cry in front of R for the first time. R promptly had Mrs. Verner buy them a new one to give to Barbie. Barbie also had an Ken/Barbie doll that she forced R to play with (“Because you both have blonde hair and live in a cool, dream house!”) and eventually gave them before they left. I like to think that R still has that doll :).

💕J - Their matching necklace is actually two half’s of a butterfly that magnetically connects to make a whole butterfly. If there was an option to hug J though-out the story, you better bet your bottom dollar that Barbie would hug them through-out.
