Here you go anon 💓
⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊•⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊
[ Bloodshot eyes ]
Tumblr media
Tw: non-con, slight degradation, uses of drugs, ass eating, anal sex.
"Why are you running away from me, sweetheart?" He asked, trapping you between his thighs, one hand firmly gripping your hip and the other holding the cigarette in his mouth. You tried to wiggle out of the way, but he just smirked.
"S-Stop it! Jake, I am going to tell your sister about this." You tried to threaten him, causing him to snort. "Alright, sweetheart, you have scared me enough. You are free to leave." He said, spreading his thighs to release you. You dashed upstairs, looking back once to see him staring at your ass with those bloodshot eyes you feared so much.
Terror clawed at your insides whenever Jake sauntered into the room. "Scared" was a laughable understatement; you were petrified, paralyzed by a primal fear that danced in his eyes and lurked in the sneer twisting his lips. His habits were disgusting, his friends, and his violent outbursts sent shivers down your spine. What made it worse was how everyone seemed to fall under his spell, mesmerized by his list filled eyes. Did looks truly hold such power?.
It was like a cruel joke. You'd befriended his sister, drawn to her genuine sweetness and kindred spirit. She, like you, was innocent, sweet and timid. You'd naively expected a similar light in Jake, instead, you were shocked to find him doing everything which you loathed. It didn't matter what he did as long as he didn't bother you but that's the only thing he does these days, cornering you with every chance he could get.
The mere sight of Jake sent shivers down your spine, His lustful stares felt like physical gropes, each passing touch a violation disguised as casual contact. His house, once a haven shared with your best friend, became a hell you had to run. The air thick with the smell of weed and the annoying laughter of his friends, their jeering hollers as you passed by made you want to crawl and hide.
But you were trapped. Confiding in your best friend, Jake's sister, was unthinkable. How could you shatter her image of her perfect, protective brother? Her belief that his bad habits are just a way of rebellion towards their neglecting and absent parents.
The night came quickly, and you found yourself moving around, trying to find a comfortable position next to your best friend, who was fast asleep. You sighed and got out of bed; perhaps a glass of water would help, and since it was only 12 am., her brother would not be back yet.
You tiptoed your way down the kitchen, refilling your glass with water. You jumped when you felt a hand on your ass. "Its me, darling." There was his honey voice which always spoke nasty words to you. Commenting on how big your tits look and you pretty you would look with his cock in your mouth.
"Please Leave!" You turned around, attempting to remove his hand, but his hand remained groping your ass, groaning in satisfaction. "You don't understand how long I have waited for this..." He whispered before pulling you in for a rough kiss. You could taste the alcohol in your mouth as his tongue desperately licked every corner of it. He only pulled away to catch his breath.
"I'm gonna fucking ruin you!" His hands ripped open your shirt as you thrashed around, trying to scream his sister's name, but he cut you off with a slap on your tits. "You think she will help you, baby? She will blame you for seducing me," he laughed, palming your tits over your bra before pulling it down.
You could only swallow your moans as he sucked your nipples and twirled them around with his tongue, staring at you with bloodshot eyes. The ones which are always drowned in lust and intoxicated. You did not have the guts to stop him when his hands slid down your shorts, cupping your pussy and playing with your clit while your body continued to produce slick. "Might as well admit that you like it, darling," he chuckled, pulling away to admire the marks he had left all over your chest. He bounced them in his hand, grinning as you cried harder.
He treated you like a ragdoll, pulling your shorts down and bending you down on the counter while sucking hickies over your ass. "Mmnh...I needed to eat this ass, the one you liked to flaunt like a real slut." His tongue left a long stripe between your ass crack. You felt disgusted and violated, not only by him, but also by yourself, as you struggled to control your moans.
You did not stop him when he desperately ate your ass, moving his head around and moaning loudly, not caring if his sister was awake, because, in the end, you seduced him, and God knows how many times he jerked off to your thoughts. The fear in your eyes, the way you went pale every time you saw him turned him on so badly and so he will use you as he wishes.
He did not stop groaning as he relentlessly pounded into your ass, his hips moving at an uncontrollable pace. "Y-yeah baby, this is just fun. Come on just admit you like it." He taunted you, pulling on your hair as you let out moans and shook your head between your messed-up state. You did not like it. You despised it, even if your body acted otherwise. You still despised it when you came around his cock for the fourth time. You hated yourself when he laughed each time.
"You are mine now doll, I own you now. I'm gonna pass you around to my friends, fuck you till we are satisfied. Gonna give you a valid reason to hate me now, yeah? "

george teaching reader how to smoke a joint for the first time, at the same time she’s matty’s little sister so is a secret relationship. I love a bit of drama
first time
some amazing blogs on here, @ughgoaway and @shinycollarboneapologist have already done the brother's best friend trope so i really urge you to go check out their fics as well. in the meantime... have fun 🤭💕
warning: weed obv and that's it i guess.
oh, btw... this is who you are thinking about. this is who this fic is about <33 (both gifs by @pleasedontbenaked i genuinely fucking hope the credit thing works 😭)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“andrew? really?” george stands at the bottom of the stairs looking down at her, one perfect eyebrow raised high. “you went to that twat for weed?”
oh. 
her eyes widen at the mention of the w word. george is a fucking idiot—she knew that obviously, all her brother’s friends are idiots—but she didn’t know he would be stupid enough to just blurt it out in the house with her parents within earshot. 
involuntarily she moves, slapping her hand on his mouth and harshly tugging on his wrist. “shut up! not here!”
george does nothing but raise the other eyebrow while slowly lowering his gaze to her hand. it’s on his mouth. touching his lips. mortifyingly enough, she comes to that realisation a second after he does and yanks her hand away as if he’s burned it. 
george smirks. because what else do insufferable 20 year old boys do? but he lets her tug him to her bedroom and slam the door shut. 
“yes. andrew.” she glares at him once she’s sure there’s no one eavesdropping. “are you gonna tell matty?”
because he would tell her brother as if she were a child. she’s 18, has been an adult for 2 months now but of course, to george (and ross and adam) she will always be their best friend’s little sister. the thought stings a bit when she looks up at george who’s cavalierly leaning against her door. 
his arms are crossed in front of his chest, biceps and colourful tattoos on full display because of the tank top he’s wearing. she would never admit to this out loud, but she has certainly looked at the tattoos (and the arms) on more than one more occasion. 
still the fact remains. george is insufferable—just like his little all-knowing smirk. 
“now why would i snitch?” he drawls out and then pushes himself off the door. something has piqued his interest. “what do you want it for?”
she can’t help the snark and sass that rises up within her at that. “for a science experiment. what do you think i want it for?”
george rolls his eyes. “okay, smartarse. maybe i should go tell—”
she tugs on his arm a second time to stop him, effectively stopping him mid-sentence. like an idiot, she’s taken the bait. 
george laughs when she groans into her hands. it’s a deep and rich sound; one that skitters down her spine… no! stop. focus. 
“if you simply must know…” she glares, “my friends and i are trying it for the first time. at a sleepover. they asked if i could get some since, you know, matty’s practically a stoner at this point. but he’s also a little shit.” then she raises her chin primly, “i would never buy from him.”
“and so you went to andrew…” 
“and so i went to andrew.”
george snickers. “you know he keeps his little baggies in his pants, right? like literally in his pants?”
she, in fact, did not know that. and judging by some more snickering, she can tell her face has turned a nasty shade of green. brief as it may have been, she absolutely did touch the little baggie andrew had discretely shoved into her hands. and now she needs to immediately dunk herself into a vat of sanitizer. 
george seems to have taken pity on her, though, because his features soften and the smirk turns into a small smile. 
“so you’re all planning to get high together for the first time?”
is this an attempt at small talk? why would he even try? still, if he’s trying to be civil, she can respond in kind. 
“...yes. for the first time.”
“do you even know what to expect?”
that makes her roll her eyes. it might be her first time, sure, but she’s not fully oblivious. “i have seen all of you blitzed out of your mind, george. i think i know what to expect.”
“so you don’t actually know what you’re doing.”
she's about to protest but he's already on the move. she watches with her mouth agape as george saunters towards her bed, examining all her little trinkets on the way. he runs his hands on the books on her bedside table, on the cds she neatly keeps on her shelves. there are posters on her walls—bowie, queen, the rolling stones, among others. then there are photos with her friends and her parents, another one where matty is 15 and she’s 12, in pigtails and grinning at the camera while matty does his edgy, angsty teenager grimace. 
there’s also a polaroid she took of the band rehearsing. matty looks like he’s in the middle of tuning his guitar. adam is looking off-camera and ross is texting on his phone. but george…george is sitting against the wall. arms behind his head and drumsticks still in his hands. his jaw is slightly tilted up, jawline sharp enough to cut. he looks like he’s trying to figure something out while the rest of them goof around. 
she remembers that day so clearly; remembers how excited matty was to show her a song they’d been working on. she remembers george smiling at her when she complimented the song. 
george throws himself onto her bed, yanking her out of her thoughts. 
“sit,” he motions at a spot next to him as if this weren’t her room and her bed. 
“what…”
“i said, sit,” he repeats, “i’m not going to let you walk into the unknown with your idiot friends.”
several questions rise up, along with indignation at him for calling her friends idiots. she’s about to ask them all in one breath but he shuts her up with one look and takes his wallet out. 
oh no… oh no no no. 
“absolutely fucking not!” it almost comes out as a shout but she manages to turn it into a whisper at the last minute. “are you insane, george? my brother is literally in his bedroom!”
“relax, darling,” he drawls out as if none of this is concerning to him. and continues taking out a bit of rolling paper and a baggie of weed from his wallet. “your brother thinks i’ve gone home.” 
this is somehow even more concerning information. what happens when matty hears them and barges into her room to check—it’s not like he knows the concept of knocking anyway. 
also he’s just called her darling…
“but—”
“you’re overthinking,” he interrupts. “focus now. i’m teaching you how to roll a joint.”
times like these, she wishes she could simply whack him on the head, preferably with one of her hardcovers. but the rolling paper in front of her is intriguing, to say the least. and as much as she wants to be annoyed, she knows she can at least trust him to guide her through her first time. 
“if you get me in trouble, george, i swear…”
“i won’t,” he places a hand on his chest and looks at her intently, “i promise.”
gingerly, tentatively, she sits in front of him; legs crossed and eyes firmly on the things in front of her. 
“now this is what you want to do…” he picks up the paper and curves it slightly between his fingers. his forehead is creased in concentration, lips parted slightly while he continues to talk about the joint. her focus, however, has already wandered. 
his fingers are deftly working away—adding in a good amount of weed and putting the tip in. her eyes wander over his hands—knuckles in the process of healing still like they always are. she used to think he got into a lot of fights until she found out that they were a result of the drumming. and then she couldn’t stop thinking about him, sweaty and tank top clinging to him…maybe even shirtless…as he worked on the latest song. 
god she was a fucking cliche for thinking about her brother’s best friend like this. utterly basic and unoriginal. 
george snaps his fingers in front of her face. 
“where d’you wander off to?”
“um–ah…what? sorry,” she mumbles quickly and averts her gaze to where he’s half-sprawled on her bed. long, graceful limbs and all. 
“focus, darling,” he chastises in a stern voice and the neurons in her brain instantly misfire. “now look.”
he picks up the paper with the weed in it and expertly rolls it while leaving some space at the end, twists the top and then as if it’s nothing, he licks the end—slow and deliberate and keeping his eyes on her—before finally sticking it shut. 
if the neurons had misfired before, they have completely shut down now. she doesn’t even register it when she swallows roughly, eyes wide and trained on his mouth which slowly curls into a smirk once again. 
“like what you see?” he asks and then cheekily adds, “the joint, i mean. it’s pretty perfect, isn’t it?”
“mm-hmm”
“should we smoke it?” 
“uhh…” her voice is barely even a whisper, thoughts hardly coherent. he wants to smoke it with her? “now?”
“no time like the present.” then he sits up properly. “wait, have you at least smoked a fag before?”
she nods mutely and clears her throat, “once.”
“ooohhh. thought you were a good girl, healy…”
she blushes deeply then; absolutely unable to meet his eyes after that. heat spreads over her face and fuck it...but there’s no coming back from this now. god, he’s going to know about her embarrassing teenage crush and he’s going to tell matty about it and matty will not let her live it down. 
she almost wants to cry out but he’s not done torturing her. because a second later he takes his lighter out and holds it under the joint. 
“want to shotgun first?”
“um…uh…”
speak, you fucking idiot, her brain screams at her but unfortunately, it does not seem connected to her mouth at the moment. he’s going to know that she’s short-circuiting. he’s going to know how flustered he makes her. 
fuck fuck fuck 
“unless you don’t want—”
“yes,” she interrupts quickly. because the thought of not doing it is so much worse than shotgunning george. 
“come closer, then. and open your mouth.”
he curves his palm around the flame to stop it from going out; joint resting lazily between his lips before he hollows his cheeks and takes a drag of it. the smoke rests in his mouth for a second or two before he leans forward; almost as if he’s about to kiss her. 
the blood in her veins flows at the speed of light, her heart is thumping so fast that it’s a surprise he hasn’t heard it yet. he’s so close… he’s never been this close before. she’s never seen the exact colour of his eyes this clearly before or felt his hair tickle her face. 
then he parts his lips and blows out the smoke in her mouth. a long exhale and a sharp intake of breath from her. his gaze dips to her lips before returning to her eyes. she imagines she’s done the same because a moment later his eyes are back on her mouth. 
the smoke spreads through her body, warm and earthy, and slowly makes its way to her head. there’s a brief flash of panic and hesitation but she pushes it away. 
then she leans closer.  
----
(yes i'm ending it there for evil reasons)

i think i can forgive yui for anything even toxic simply because she suffered the most because of those guys and deserves to get her lick back. they put her through so much in earlier games, it's insane
// PARDON?? 😀😀
I understand that the Diaboys were bitchy at first and they all treated others as less (which is bad), but other than Laito, Kanato and Carla, nobody made Yui suffer that bad to the point of breaking her. Kou was pretty nasty too at first, but the rest weren’t that horrible route based for characters supposed to be monsters. At the very least, I can name some human LIs who were way worse than most Diaboys, yet nobody seems to hate on them for that. I understand that it must be tiring being pushed around and being treated as “prey”, yet we’re talking about vampires here. They are predators and don’t have the same set of morals as humans do, for this reason humans are a mere food source for them. They can’t live without blood, even if this means having to sacrifice humans to satisfy their hunger. We love cats despite the fact that they like torturing mice before killing them, and that’s because we understand that it’s just how the predator instinct works. The Diaboys might look humanized, but they are a whole difference existence and you shouldn’t hold them at human standards. It’s good that DL showed how vampires were truly supposed to act, instead of making them romantic and flirty from the start.
Even the whole Adam’s apple plan focuses on Eve, a human, making Adam, a vampire, learn about human feelings. One thing about the Diaboys is that they all had growth. If someone is shown regretting their behavior and is genuinely changing into a better person just for you, it’s very insensitive to remind them about what they did a long time ago. They are aware of their actions and they are aware they were in the wrong, therefore bringing up their past mistakes won’t make you a better person than them. A Diaboy could sacrifice everything for Yui and put his life on the verge each and every time she’s in danger, but some of you guys would still only see him as “bad”, which would be a huge insult to his character, given that it would erase all the development he went through.
I’m not going to count the bad endings here, but saying that you forgive all of Yui’s toxic actions is very toxic itself. She is an abuse apologist herself, who tried to convince Ayato that his mother secretly cared for him (despite knowing the full story), Subaru that Karlheinz loved him and the Mukamis that Karlheinz, after he committed a whole genocide, saved them to redeem himself. These are all very wrong. Karlheinz always used everyone for his plans, just like Cordelia used her children for her selfish desires. Neither of them were ever shown regretting their actions. This is just one example of Yui’s toxic actions and I’m not saying that she did them with ill will, but stupidity can make one problematic too. It gives off the same vibes as “but they’re your parents”, after hearing someone talk about how much their parents hurt them.
It’s not that hard to admit that all DL characters have red flags. Nobody in this franchise is meant to be a role model and it’s okay if you don’t like certain actions. I’m a Yui stan, but I get why several people from the otoge community don’t really like her. However, I’m surprised that they see her as really that bad. I mean, she still is mostly kind and sweet, therefore I don’t think her bitchy moments are more significant. Yet, I suppose this has more to do with how they perceive things.

we talk a lot about how much ketheric hated durgetash, but what about how much orin hated durgetash? either she despised her sibling and hated seeing them happy (and also distracted from bhaal), or she actually got along pretty well with her sibling until gortash came and ruined it. she must have been so jealous, but not jealous in a “i wish it were me fucking durge/gortash” way, jealous in a “im the only one who seems to be taking this group project seriously but you’re the two getting the credit from teacher” way.
See, but here's the more tragic thing to consider...
Yes, the idea of Orin always hating Durge, and then flying off the handle because she can't handle being perpetually single and pretending it's for religious radicalism reasons is funny.
But what if Orin genuinely cared for them, because they were nicer to her than anyone else?
What if they actually had a somewhat decent relationship because deep down, they know they aren't that different?
The Dark Urge killed their parents, and they had to have felt regret...but they pushed down their feelings, and embraced being a Bhaalspawn, because what else could they do, really?
Their father would literally DISSOLVE them if they disobeyed.
But maybe they'd look at this younger fellow Bhaalspawn, and they'd remember having a childhood before that...and they'd feel bad for her. Take her under their wing.
And she, in turn, wouldn't be used to having someone who actually treats her kindly, or at least, with any degree of mercy?
I'm not sure where I read it, but I think it's mentioned somewhere, or was supposed to be in the game or something, that she tried to resist Bhaal once in the past, but was shut down.
And that is really sad to consider, because maybe Orin knew she was trapped, so, like the Dark Urge, she chose to embrace her heritage because she had no other choice.
But she and the Dark Urge have this in common, and that's why they'd get along...
Until. That fucking Chosen of Bane...
Suddenly the Dark Urge isn't spending any time with her...suddenly, they're moody, withdrawn.
Defensively angry.
See, there's a nasty note from the Dark Urge to Orin in her bedroom...
They say that Orin's blood is "impure."
And I can see why that would hurt Orin a lot...but in HER note, she just mentions how she hates how close Durge is with Gortash?
So maybe.
Hear me out...
Orin had NOT been planning on usurping the Dark Urge at all, like Sarevok says, until they met Gortash.
THEN, she felt betrayed.
Like...I thought we were alike. I thought you knew how it felt, to repress your feelings, and to embrace your destiny, instead of your own needs...but here you are.
Embracing a Banite...spending less time in the temple...with me.
So rather than feeling betrayed because she "loves" Bhaal...deep down, on a subconscious level... she's devastated because the only person she felt could understand her...was becoming someone new.
And she hated it.
And anon...
Orin is an artist at heart.
Creating grisly art was her way of expressing her individuality.
The Dark Urge mentions that they admire her art... but also that it's "useless" because Bhaal doesn't care for it...
Maybe they used to encourage her to be artistic as a child?
Because they know better than anyone, how you must suppress any sense of individuality as a Bhaalspawn. That's not what you were made for. But they knew it helped her emotionally.
And before Gortash, they lightly encouraged it, or at least allowed it...but then she starts being abrasive and complaining about Gortash.
She starts saying, do you truly serve Bhaal, or Enver Gortash, and they'd snap back, because they're defensive about it right, that she doesn't really understand what Bhaal wants???
So I think the Dark Urge showing contempt for her artwork was just a coping mechanism.
They had abandoned their individuality a long time ago, but suddenly this Enver Gortash says he likes them for them...he says, I love how smart you are...and they feel like...they're more than a Bhaalspawn...
And Orin is hurt and betrayed, because she thought they were in this together...and they're confused and anxious, over this problem that they can't simply kill...
So in short, anon.
Yes.
I think the Dark Urge and Gortash's relationship DID put a huge strain on the Dark Urge's relationship with Orin.
I think it would've really broken her heart, to know she was alone with just Bhaal for company.
I also think she needn't have worried, because they'd both get what was coming to them anyway in the end.
They were never going to last forever, her own actions be damned.
Alas, anon.
I feel...so sorry for them all.

lmao whats their response to the age old question: Would you love me if I was a worm?
love, me :)
if you were a worm, i'd put you in a plastic oil drum and make you compost all of my table scraps until you eventually became one with the soil 💕
@ratspoison
Tumblr media
characters ━ itoshi rin, nagi seishiro, chigiri hyouma, isagi yoichi, bachira meguru, yukimiya kenyu
warnings ━ none
Tumblr media
consider yourself single if you ask rin this question
with blue lock's schedule, bro barely has time to text his parents on a regular basis. if you hit bro with 'would you love me if i was a worm' he'd block you and never speak to you again
but really, he'd think that's so foolish of you
is it not enough that he likes you as a human?
(what a lukewarm question)
rin's trustworthy, but now he has to wonder if there's another reason to ask such a question
what's the true meaning behind this worm???
Tumblr media
you'd have to catch him awake to do any of that
and if he's awake, he's probably doing a million things, like training or conditioning or gaming
for someone who finds working hard 'troublesome', nagi seems to be the one working the hardest out of everyone
if he does call you, though, expect him to regret it almost as soon as you pop the question
'would you love me if i was a worm?'
'you exhaust me'
though, even if you'd been joking and had forgotten about it, you'd be getting a text in the middle of the night, days later
'if you were a worm, i'd build you a little worm house, and feed you only the finest worm meals'
Tumblr media
'would you love me if i was a worm?'
'well. . .i guess i've made worse decisions in my life'
super chill about it, has definitely heard similar things from his older sister
honestly, he's kind of a natural at the whole dating thing
don't tell him that though, it'll go to his head
it helps that he's such a genuine guy, he doesn't have to lie when he says things in order to comfort someone else
it's the way he says it; most people who are 'brutally honest' tend to be crude with everything they say
chigiri only talks like that when he's talking to kunigami's mean ass
Tumblr media
my guy is speechless
dude knows nothing about relationships and it's very obvious, so he'll search for the right answer rather than the honest answer
'i...i think so?'
in reality, you couldn't pay isagi a hundred bucks to pick up a worm
he's not afraid, he just thinks they're nasty
he. . .might be a little scared
he just doesn't want to touch a worm, okay?
but he will, if his s/o becomes a worm. he will face his fear for the greater good
Tumblr media
it's not a matter of what his answer is: it's a matter of who asks first
bachira would 100% call you up in the middle of the night in a panic, like he just got hit by a car and needed a ride to the emergency room
'bachira, what's wrong?'
'babe! would you love me if i was a worm?!'
you don't deserve a hello when bachira's demanding an answer to such an important question
''i might love you if you were a bee, not a worm. what about me? would you love me if i was a worm?'
he'd spend the rest of the night trying to decide what kind of insect you would be, because he wouldn't let his s/o be a worm of all thing
Tumblr media
yuki is my friend's favourite, and lucky for her, i think he'd be very princely about it
'i'd never stop loving you, even until the ends of the earth. even if you were a worm.'
it's okay to gag at him, he deserves it
but if he knows you think it's cringey he'll just keep doing it
for a few weeks, everything he does around you ends up being a callback to the worm question
even if it was a joke, yukimiya will make you regret ever asking it
and he'll be so sweet about it to
changes your name in his phone to 'my worm❤️' and expects you to appreciate the new nickname
he's not changing it until you appreciate it
appreciate the nickname!

...Arranged Marriage for (Civilian Identities of) Villain and (heroic) Sidekick?
Disclaimer: I definitely know that arranged marriages are often happy and healthy and completely normal for many people. When Sidekick refers to their arranged marriage with Villain as not a "regular" marriage, it has to do with their own outlook of their situation, and not my personal views on the subject.
Sidekick noticed the bruise right away. A perfect shoeprint on their new spouse's cheek, suspiciously alike to the one Hero struck under Villain's left eye earlier that night.
Everything Sidekick had suspected and ignored over the last month came crashing down like a tidal wave, pressing down heavily on their shoulders, crushing the breath right out of them.
"What happened?" they managed through constricting lungs.
"Nothing." Spouse tugged their chin-length hair in front of their face as they slid off their shoes and workbag. "Is there dinner?"
"You have a shoe print on your face," Sidekick said, unsure why they were pressing for an answer they really didn't want. "That's not nothing!"
Spouse shot them a mildly annoyed glance before swiping past them and poking around the contents of their fridge themself. "If you want the truth, I'm being bullied at work."
Bullcrap.
But what was Sidekick supposed to say? Prove it? I know you're lying? I know who are you?
Anything they said could immediately be turned against them, and the last thing they needed in this already tense arrangement was for Spouse--Villain--to uncover their secret identity.
"Are you ok?" they said instead, surprised that it slipped out so easily. Even with a small semblance of worry. It was worry for themself of course, for a future where they shared living quarters with a villain who recognized them as an enemy. Needing to watch their back every second of the day, keeping one eye open while they slept.
It shocked them when Villain's face softened.
"Hurts a little." They closed the fridge door, hunger forgotten, and ambled a little closer.
Sidekick fumbled internally for the correct response. What would they do if this was a regular marriage? One where they hadn't each weighed the benefits to their families against their personal feelings. One where Spouse wasn't Villain, and Sidekick didn't know.
Sidekick ghosted the edges of the bruise with the back of one knuckle. "It's a nasty one. Do you need me to beat anyone up?"
Villain's eyes sparked amusement. "I'd like that. But I wouldn't like you getting into trouble for me."
"Since when do you care about that?" Sidekick said, a little harsher than intended.
Villain cocked their head.
Shut up, Sidekick!
"Is this about me exposing your late-night comings and goings to your parents during our engagement?"
Actually, in the wake of other problems, Sidekick had forgotten all about that incident, for as infuriating and stifling as it had been at the time. They had been unable to help Hero on their patrols for over a month. But Villain had given them an out, so they shouldn't squander it.
"I wasn't allowed outside past 10 until the day we were married. What did it even benefit you?"
Villain stepped a fraction closer. "At the time I was upset with our situation. My family's money for your's reputation seemed an unbalanced, unworthy trade for my life. I took it out on you. And that was wrong." Their fingers crept along Sidekick's wrists, holding them light and gentle in front of them. "Forgive me?"
Sidekick slid out of their grip and took a cautionary step out of the range of soft, green-eyed charm.
"You haven't given me many opportunities for forgiveness. We barely even see each other."
"Not all my fault is it?"
Sidekick's stomach lurched. They thought they'd been sneaky about their absences from home; if they weren't waiting for times when Villain was out of the house or asleep, they at least always had a genuine errand to complete with it to excuse them.
"I have... Zumba," Sidekick said and immediately cringed. Zumba? All the time? Even at midnight?
"Whatever it is you have...or I have, I think we should make some changes."
Sidekick raised a brow. "Changes?"
"Dinner, every night, and at least one date a week."
Sidekick stared, mouth agape. They hadn’t been married long, but this was the first indication they’d given Sidekick of wanting to try for any sort of amicableness.
“Why?” They knew it sounded strange, it was stranger continuing as they were, but they couldn’t shake the suspicion growing in their gut.
“Because like it or not, we are married. And I want to love my spouse. And…from what I know of you…that doesn’t seem an impossible feat.”
Sidekick had to resist the urge to counter. This was the best thing. Hiding their identity in a comfortable relationship was probably easier than in a tense one. That was how Sidekick discovered Villain after all, the constant questioning, distrust, and watching giving way to another all to familiar persona.
“That seems…reasonable,” they said.
Villain smiled. “Why don’t we pick a day for date nights? A day where we don’t make other plans.” They’re smile grew. “I’ll try to schedule around your Zumba.”
They definitely didn’t believe that lie.
Wait. This was an opportunity. If Villain was out with them, they weren’t causing arm to the city. Sidekick was still helping Hero, just…less conventionally.
“Fridays?”
Villain pondered that moment, probably thinking about how much they enjoyed ruining Fridays for everyone else with their chaotic schemes.
“Works for me.”
Sidekick nodded brusquely. “I'll get the first aid kit."
“You’re patching me up?” Villain said, sounding amused and thrilled for some reason.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“No reason. Thank you.”
The genuineness in their voice caught Sidekick off guard. They had to shake themself back into motion. “You’re welcome. Um…there’s some left over spaghetti in a bag on the bottom shelf if you want to warm it up. If you’re still hungry that is.”
With that, Sidekick retreated, trying hard not to think about how they were sharing food with a criminal, and how they didn’t completely mind it.

BUCKET LIST ☆ 07
This is a bad idea, this is a bad idea, this is a bad idea.
Saiki keeps repeating the sentence over and over in his head, biting his thumb nail. His finger hesitates to press the doorbell to your house. You've been pestering him for the past two months so why did he come out of his way to ask you to hang out? You're practically attached to the hip and everyone thinks Saiki must finally have his soulmate.
But you? His soulmate? Never. It's true that he's finding you less and less annoying throughout the days. Although your quirks since day one irks him a bit. The way you talk so nicely and talk with your hands, yeah you might be too nice in his view.
Now he's just fighting the urge to flee the scene and leave you alone. He knows your parents aren't home, because you mentioned they go to work pretty early on weekends and come home late. He did not want to call, because he wants it to be genuine. So there he is, acting like a little boy who has a crush and is struggling to ask them if they wanna eat lunch together.
He pulls at his hair in frustration, his hands running through his pink hair anxiously. He exhales and inhales, attempting to stop his heart from beating so quick. Why was he so nervous?
"It's just Y/n, nothing crazy" He mumbles to himself, so he finally presses the bell.
"Saiki?"
He looks to the side of the door, seeing you peeking your head out from the window. You're holding a huge lollipop in your right hand, and on the left hand you were holding a microphone.
You were doing karaoke?
I .. why would they .. the window but not the door.. I should leave.
Saiki ponders for a bit while you stare at him with a confused look. He sighs, knowing he can't back down now.
"Let's make coffee jelly".
"This is so fun!" You exclaim, adding the ingredients into the machine and pressing multiple buttons. You pan the video camera to his face and zoom onto the machine. Saiki really dislikes the idea of keeping track of this project by video taping it but ..
Your enthusiasm kinda changed his way of thinking. He never said anything about it but he found it funny how you find enjoyment in filming you both on a dslr camera.
Saiki silently watches you, his expression sour but relaxed. You find everything so exciting and fun, he thinks it's a great trait of yours. Although it does get tiresome when you stop to pet each dog on your way to his house.
"Let's make star shaped jelly!" You finish off by clicking another button and with a satisfied sigh, you plop down next to Saiki.
You shut the camera off and slide it into your bag.
He inches closer to you, the floor creaking underneath him. You look up in curiosity, offering him a smile which of course, he does not return.
"It'll take about twenty minutes" Saiki announces suddenly, resting his chin on his palm. You nod, grabbing your list from your bag and crossing out the fourth number.
Saiki covers his face with his hand, trying to hide the fact that his happiness is visibly showing on his pale face.
He has seen and remembered the first few things you have put down, and the coffee jelly was one. You give him another smile, the list being crumbled on the side due to your tight grasp.
Saiki wishes he could just give you another nasty look but he's been too hard on you lately. Or so that's what he thinks.
He smiles at you, and it seems a bit forced but your grin grows wider. You shove the paper back into your bag, and scoot closer to him.
"Erm" He says quietly, your hand clutching onto his as you hold both your hands in the air.
"Thank you for being a considerate friend, Kusuo Saiki" You admit sincerely, your smile never leaving and your grip becoming lighter.
Saiki feels his heart beat quicker, his body heat increasing and he swears his ears are turning red.
"Yeah.. no problem" He spats out, pulling his hand away and clearing his throat. You didn't notice his red ears and he's glad. Knowing you, you would make fun of him for it and never let it go.
"I'll be back, bathroom" He tells you, hurrying his way towards the end of the hallway.
He pushes the door open, slamming it shut and placing his hands on each side of the sink. Saiki stares at his reflection, flicking at his ears to see if this is actually happening.
"It's just Y/n, I'm just pitying them this is all it is" He rambles, turning the faucet on with quickness and splashing cold water on his cheeks.
He goes back into the kitchen, seeing your cheeks stuffed with jelly already. You drop your fork, the plate in your other hand holding a half eaten coffee jelly.
You shoot him an awkward grin, a piece of jelly falling from your mouth and onto the plate.
"This is really good coffee jelly" You claim with pure honesty, your hand covering your mouth as muffled sounds slip out.
Saiki stands there, a look of disgust washing over his face.
False alarm, Y/n is definitely just a friend.

I am genuinely curious - what is your opinion on practicing streams of Judaism? (Orthodox vs conservative vs reform vs Reconstructionist). I’m aware there are Israelis have the opinion that diaspora Jews- especially Americans, are Jew(ish), and not necessarily Jewish, if that makes sense? I know there are asshats that get quite nasty towards Israelis and I find that to be disgusting.
Me personally, I always found that to be very hurtful. I’m American, grew up Reform. In the sanctuary part of the Temple, we had two flags positioned on each corner of the sanctuary in the front: one was American, one was Israeli. My Rabbi, my Cantor, and my Sunday school teachers raised us to believe Israelis are distant cousins. Different but similar ideas, customs etc, but all part of the same family. So when 10/07 happened I (like many diaspora Jewish people), were shaken to the core.
And no matter what my personal issues are about the process of the military operation, and Bibi and his govt, I wish and hope everyone stays as safe as they can be while trying to get the hostages out and destroy Hamas.
So I was just wondering what your thoughts are about the clashes between the different streams of practice. I always feel that now is not the time to argue about who is or isn’t more Jewish. We are all feeling the after effects of what Hamas did, and the anti semitism that it has sparked. Once we have peace, then people can debate and bicker if they wish (but I really hope less of us do that). ♥️
So I contemplated how (or if) I’d answer this because I really think Am Yisrael needs ahavas chinam right now and I don’t want to do anything to promote sinas chinam. But I think you can disagree with something and still respect it and show love for your fellow Jews who may practice differently than you do and I think that *is* Ahavas chinam.
So I’d just ask that just as I’m affording respect to others who are different that people respect my view points as well.
So here we go…
A Jew is a Jew is a Jew. Even antizionist Jews, those are still Jews. Even atheist Jews, those are still Jews. I do believe in matrilineal inheritance of Judaism but I’m not going to treat someone differently if their father is their only Jewish parent and they were raised Jewish. It is not my place to say who is Jewish and who is not; I can have my viewpoints but ultimately I am not a Rav.
I was raised orthodox. I didn’t meet a “reform” Jew until med school (which was the first time I ever went to school with goyim) — the denominations you’re referring to are mostly western constructs. There are a few reform shuls in Israel but they’re not as common as they are in America. I am going to be very honest with you and share that many reform practices make me incredibly uncomfortable. Do I think that people that practice them are any less Jewish? Absolutely not.
As someone who spent half of their life in the diaspora (albeit in very Jewish communities with little contact with goyim) I absolutely do not subscribe to any belief that diaspora Jews are any less Jewish. That’s abhorrent. I don’t personally know any Israelis that believe that but I’m sure they exist. All Jews, regardless of their location, are valid.
I will say that it is interesting to me to hear that your teachers referred to Israelis as “distant cousins” - all of am Yisrael is a single tribe. I would only ever refer to a fellow Jew as a brother or sister regardless of whether or not they lived in Israel or the diaspora. It seems there might be some anti-Israel bias in that teaching, which is unfortunate. And it’s amusing because your question insinuates that Orthodox Jews and Israelis are less accepting of reform Jews and diasporic Jews and that’s interesting to hear because my experience has always been the exact opposite.
But in Israel we have similar issues where our religious communities spar with our less observant communities. It was very apparent in our most recent elections and the protests that followed. I find myself existing in both communities and it can be challenging sometimes. Some of my secular friends do have negative attitudes toward more frum communities. Those same frum communities may look down on my more secular friends. Because I do and always have existed in both groups I see both sides. I think both of these black and white attitudes are a chillul hashem and will get us nowhere.
But bottom line, how a Jew lives their life and their relationship with Hashem is none of my business. You do you; Jew do Jew.
(This was kind of all over the place and there’s a lot of tangents I actually *didn’t* go down believe it or not so if you want some clarification, feel free to ask. Or you can DM me and I’m happy to chat about it that way too.)

Hello.... I just came back from church and I will worship demons again. Anyway, I just came into mind to Nephalem! Mc, (I love really OP MC) and I was forced to read the bible and another version that's the reason I've come to this conclusion. So like it's between Belith (the most powerful demon king who owns 85(?) demon legions) and Seraphina (the female version of the six winged seraphim) they do the nasty and boom demonangel baby whose raised in an human orphanage because God forbids and Bebelith's (uwu) kingdom opposed. And the child somehow almost terrorizes the entire human race without exposing themselves. Imagine those reactions from the bros + dateables hekhek. I really love the bible sometimes you know...
It’s been too long but my god I’m excited to do this one. I always love your ideas
Nephalem!MC + The Obey me boys
Pronouns: They/Them
The chaos
MC grew up as an orphan, going in and out of foster homes and different adoptive parents. It never lasted though. No one knew why. The kid seemed nice enough, if not a little quiet
Some say it was because they were too quiet. They never talked or bonded with the families. Others say that it was because the other families kept having kids of their own and decided they didn’t need MC anymore
But the real reason? The real reason was because they were actually a little terror
They would start out seeming innocent, sure, but that was all a part of their plan
After about a week though? They would start causing all sorts of chaos.
When MC got sent down to the Devildom, they thought it would be the same thing. They’d be there for maybe a month and then be sent back. But no, that’s not quite what happened
Lucifer:
When MC first came through the portal, he wasn’t quite sure what to make of them
He knew that something wasn’t quite right about them but that would have to be an issue for later
He has things to do
He assigned Mammon to deal with them while he went back to his office to check this “humans” file
Except wait
No
They are, in fact, not a human
Well fuck
This didn’t go like he planned
He immediately tells Diavolo, thinking he’d want to send MC back and get a new exchange student
But no
He wants to keep them
Of course 😑
Lucifer can’t do much else besides just proceed as normal, he supposes
But he does keep an eye on the kid
It’s bad enough that he’s got to be responsible for a child, but a Nephalem?
He’s going to be grey by the time the exchange program is over
Mammon:
He genuinely has no clue
I love him but he doesn’t have the faintest idea
MC walks through that portal and he just assumes they’re just some human
Honestly, he won’t figure it out unless he’s told or if he catches them doing something
Even then, he might just assume they’ve been hanging around Solomon too much
He is, however, a great target for MCs chaos
He’s constantly being messed with
His things go missing, only to show up in random places
Grimm will appear and disappear in front of him
You get the gist
He’s easy to mess with
Which is why MC likes to hang around him
But he doesn’t mind too much
Once he warms up to them at least
He enjoys the company
Leviathan:
He also doesn’t know
But it’s mostly just because he doesn’t care
He’s focused on his games and anime
I get the feeling that he would be all over it if he found out though
Like he would think that it’s super cool
He could absolutely figure it out if he decided to dedicate the brain power to it
But he’s got other things to worry about
He’s also pretty easy to mess with
But be careful
He’s not just gonna get over it quickly like Mammon does
While MC could probably take Levi, I wouldn’t recommend it
Maybe avoid doing anything to his collections
Satan:
He figures it out pretty quickly
He’s a smart demon
MC absolutely fascinates him
He spends a bunch of his free time studying them
Trying to figure out anything and everything he can about them
Well
Until MC decides to be a little shit
Books start going missing and showing back up with writing on the pages
His feather boa is nowhere to be found (Though Mammon and Asmodeus aren’t complaining about that one)
At one point, Satan got turned into a cat for a few hours
Okay he didn’t mind that one all that much but still
It’s about the principle
It’s not smart to mess with him either but oh well
Asmodeus:
Every time I do a child!mc, I say the same thing
He absolutely adores them
He thinks they’re adorable and he can’t wait to dress them up
Maybe not this one tho
He still thinks they’re cute and wants to do little fashion shows with them, but it’s not really going to go how he planned
It’s crazy
Makeup isn’t the right color and the clothes keep changing into other clothes
How weird
In reality, MC just doesn’t like being dressed up so they have to make it fun for themselves somehow
I don’t have much to say for Asmo
Except that he’s gonna be a bit of a good sport when it comes to the chaos that is MC
Beelzebub:
Honestly
He also does not notice that there’s something off about the “human”
He’s gonna be easy to mess with as well
But do be careful
Stay away from his food
We’ve all seen the rampages he goes on when someone touches his food
I think that he would just assume that MC is this fragile little child and so he’d try to protect them
But he’s in for a surprise the first time that someone tries to mess with them
You can imagine that he’s speechless when he sees MC, this small child, absolutely demolish some demon
Doesn’t have to be physically
They could verbally destroy some random demon trying to mess with them as well
Either way, he wasn’t expecting it
Belphegor:
Honestly, this could go either way
I don’t think he’d be able to tell right away
Which is where lesson 16 would come in
But I think that, based on how this MC would react, he’d figure out that something isn’t quite right after that
Like
There’s no way in hell this is some normal human, right?
Not after all that
Once he figures it out, he’d be pretty indifferent
He’d be put at ease that there isn’t a human staying with them
And he’d be more than happy to help them cause chaos
Especially if it’s directed towards Lucifer
Somehow tho
I don’t think he’d be that easy to fuck with
I feel like he’d be unbothered by anything they could do to him
Well
Mostly
Diavolo:
Once again, absolutely loves them
Even before he finds out
Which doesn’t take that long
Obviously
Since Lucifer found out and told him
I feel like he would be 100% on board with any mischief that they cause
Having to do all his princely duties all the time is so boring
He enjoys the entertainment
He would probably also be enamored with them
Wanting to see all that they can do
I dunno I wasn’t able to fall asleep last night so my brain isn’t very creative
He would try and involve them and what they can do in things and events
Most likely
He’s just excited
Barbatos:
He knew first
He just didn’t tell anyone
Because why would he?
I swear, this man lives for drama
He would never admit it but it’s true
Anyways
He doesn’t care either
As long as MC doesn’t cause problems
Which they absolutely will
I feel like his attitude towards MC would be similar to what it is with Dia and Luke
Just another child to look after
He’s fond of them tho
Don’t let him tell you otherwise
Simeon:
I don’t have much to say about him
He might be able to tell
Or he might not
If he does, he definitely does that thing he does where he doesn’t outright say he knows, but he drops hints
Like
He might make a passing comment about how MC is similar to some of the angels he knows
And then a day later say how they remind him of one of the brothers
He would definitely wait for MC to outright tell him tho to actually say anything
He’s respectful like that
Solomon:
He knows
Maybe not right away but pretty early on
He’s also absolutely fascinated
He wants to do so many tests on them
Surely they react differently to his potions and spells, no?
Maybe they’ll love his cooking like the rest of them
That’s what he thinks at least
Or not
It’s been a while since I’ve played but I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew no one liked his cooking but he kept doing it just to take the piss
He’s such an asshole and I love him

This is something that always bugged me, because for someone who claims to like Danny with or without his ghost powers...Sam has a tendency to have a lot of double standards. I mean, both times Danny gave up his powers for one reason or another Sam either avoided the “overly heroic” side of him like the plague -which ok I’ll admit was pretty over the top- then she got all butt-hurt that Danny threw himself into the freaking ghost portal again and zapped himself to supposedly get rid of his powers since he saw it as the only way to have a ‘normal life’ again when it seemed like nobody wanted or needed Danny Phantom around anymore and he lost his purpose.
Translation, I can only excuse so much of it because they’re kids when their characters are already shown to be written a certain way when it comes to their personalities and moral compass.
Like, when Vlad replaced him with another group of ghost hunters and Danny felt like he had completely and truly lost his place in the world that’s when he decided his powers didn’t make him happy anymore. And frankly, this has probably been building up for a while once it seemed like being half ghost only started causing them all MORE problems and stressing him out either because Sam and Tucker would either get jealous of him, downplay how dangerous his powers can be, ask Danny to use them for their benefit (especially Sam) and without much consideration both of them would scold Danny for using his powers ‘for the wrong reasons’ to pull some harmless pranks or expect too much of him when they don’t have the slightest clue how much he dealt with on a day to day basic because of ghosts, his parents, and bullies...
Poor Danny could literally never catch a break since he has to deal with all of those things no matter where he goes!
School: Bullies and ghosts, sometimes his parents if they get called in.
Nasty Burger, the mall, or other hang outs: Bullies and ghosts.
Home: His parents and ghosts, and on top of that worrying about dangerous inventions that could expose, kill, or badly hurt him.
His friend’s houses: Ghosts, his friends jealousy and/or peer pressure, and Sam’s super judgemental parents.
To be fair, before the series finale Danny had really come into his own so for the most part those problems weren’t as intense as they were in the beginning. Except for his parents, their inventions can still be dangerous. That said, when Danny gave up his powers the second time he was actually at a really really low point. He genuinely felt really worthless after he kept losing to Vlad and his new ghost hunters time and time again, but at least at first Danny tried to make the most of it for the sake of his friends and families. After making a fool of himself so many times and feeling like all his hard work had gone up in smoke, Danny gave up and decided he just wanted to feel like a normal kid again.
He wanted to just be Danny Fenton again dealing with normal teen problems, not constant life-threatening situations. But like I said earlier, while I still believe he went about it the wrong way, knowing Danny the way I do I think he would NEVER have jumped into the portal again because if he’s smart enough to know that if he was wrong about what it would do to him when he’s already half ghost he could have accidentally become a full ghost which there would be no coming back from. And don’t get me wrong, I do get Sam’s point of view to an extent since giving up his powers like that in the heat of the moment could have been life-threatening, I just don’t appreciate how they acted like it was the end of the world (which is a little ironic since it almost WAS because of Vlad.)
Anyways, in my eyes it’s not selfish to put your own needs first sometimes because it’s possible to give too much of your time and effort into taking care of others to the point where it feels like there’s nothing left for yourself. As his friends, they should have respected his decision (as terrible as it was) and been infinitely more concerned about Danny willingly hurting himself like that. It’s not like Danny to be THAT reckless and they should have stopped him and talked things out from there.
If they worked through how he was feeling together I think Danny could have found other ways to use his ghost powers to help people in a meaningful way, or more importantly come up with a plan to expose Vlad for taking advantage of everyone since he was making people PAY for the service of Masters Blasters which don’t even get me started on that because what part of he’s already the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD did Butch not understand? Seriously, Vlad holding the world for ransom and exposing his secret without some kind of fail-safe plan in place felt so out of character for him too.
All I’m saying is I wish Sam would have been written as the more supportive version from the 1st two seasons, not whatever she was here.
(Note: So yeah, this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and wanted to tidy up a bit so I thought I’d finally go ahead and finish it then send my thoughts out into the world. It’s honestly more of a rant but meh, feel free to take from it what you will! XD)

Lore Olympus Episode 243 Spoilers
Okay, so no magical infertility-fix.
Just leg-pregnancy.
That's a relief.
And the fact that I can say these sentences and genuinely mean them should tell you all you need to know about how dogshit this story has gotten.
I find it really funny how Zeus is continually raked over the coles by the narrative for his infidelity, but Hades and Hera are just completely let off the hook.
Also, Jesus Christ did this episode need a trigger warning for body horror and gore. There's this series of panels where Persephone cuts baby Dionysus out of Zeus' thigh and there's just blood everyhwere. It's incredibly nasty.
Seems now that Persephone stole a baby we can forget about the child deity who's still stuck in Tartarus with Kronos? We're not even gonna mention them once? Okay then.
God, I hate how Persephone just goes rage mode when Zeus says he's going to leave Dionysus in the care of nymphs. She acts like he just said he was gonna eat the baby alive. Honestly, Zeus' plan here is reasonable. Zeus and Hera are pretty subpar parents. Dionysus would probably be way happier with the nymphs. Recognizing that he's not parent material and leaving the child in the hands of someone more capable actually shows a lot of maturity on Zeus' part.
But no, we have to make Persie look good again, so lets just have her steal the baby and raise it as her own. Even though she has zero experience raising kids, is an emotional basketcase and bends under pressure quicker than a folding chair sat on by an elephant. Even though her hubby has already demonstrated that he's a shitty father and has the emotional maturity of a sixteen year old.

Not sure how I feel about the whole "Regulus the real slytherin hero' because truth be told, we don't really know much about him. He could very well be nastier than Snape, and classist in addition. I don't oppose the idea that he's nicer...but how do you know that for certain? Yes, Kreacher says that Regulus is nice, and I hate to say this because I love Kreacher, but Kreacher canonically is a bigoted, nasty elf who loved very nasty people (Sirius's parents).
(Plus, I don't think Sirius actually said anything nice about Regulus. His own brother.)
And If we're going to talk about Slytherin heroes, why not Andromeda? She seems pretty awesome, rejected her family, and from what we've seen she's also a good Mom.
Honestly it’s so annoying. There’s nothing wrong with adding more information to a character we hear about only a little, but when they’re also anti Snape and say things like “Regulus was the TRUE Slytherin hero, Snape was just an obsessed incel” 💀💀? It’s funny to see that because Regulus.. didn’t actually stop being a blood supremacist? He just stopped supporting Voldemort himself because he tried to kill someone Regulus loved (Kreacher), he didn’t suddenly think to himself “hey! I shouldn’t support Voldemort’s ideology! Muggleborns and Muggles deserve rights! #bewokekiddos.” Like yes, Severus initially stopped supporting Voldemort because, like Regulus, Voldemort tried/wanted to kill someone Snape loved. But we also see that he changed his views over the years and genuinely believed in what the Order stood for, he straight up yelled at a portrait when it called someone he didn’t even like (Hermione) a Mudblood when no one was around. Also, why do people say “doing one good thing in the end doesn’t make you good” to bash Snape when 1. that’s exactly what Regulus did, and he didn’t even succeed in doing so 😭 2. that doesn’t even make sense for Snape’s arc because he’s literally been saving people for years.
+ Regulus is a Black, Blacks hate anyone that isn’t a pureblood, they don’t even like HALF-BLOODS. Bellatrix (Regulus’s cousin), Regulus’s mother, and Kreacher (Regulus’s friend/servant, who pretty much learned all his beliefs from the Blacks) used the term “filthy half-blood,” and they would marry their own cousins just to keep the blood pure. They were even more extreme than most of the pureblood families we see in Harry’s time. So not only was Regulus blood-prejudiced, but he also most likely hated half-bloods too 💀
And If we're going to talk about Slytherin heroes, why not Andromeda? She seems pretty awesome, rejected her family, and from what we've seen she's also a good Mom.
My girl deserves more appreciation 😫 she is such a queen and I wish Marauder stans would include her more in fics, they literally give personalities to OCs who barely existed in canon but can’t find it in them to give her some recognition when she’s RIGHT THERE? It’s an absolute travesty, she’s one of the best Slytherins in the series. Plus, she raised the most spectacular woman in the whole universe?? Ted and Dromeda deserve a standing ovation for blessing the Potterverse with their daughter.

Hi Vivienne, I hope you're doing well. I am so thankful that I came across this blog and The Human Renaissance, I look forward to reading every new article you put out.
This isn't really a question, just a topic I've been thinking about and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on it. Maybe it's just because I'm not particularly fond of forgiveness myself, or of the rationalizations people have for child abuse. But one of the things that frustrated me endlessly in radblr spaces was the excuses made up for nasty and abusive mothers. I've seen blog after blog of women with mommy issues who completely remove their abusers responsibility. It seems like they feel serious guilt for their existence supposedly ruining some kind of potential their mothers had before they were born.
Because she was socialized into wanting to be a mother, into PIV sex, into not getting an abortion, into being a housewife, into taking all of her problems out on her children, into grooming them to do the same, and none of this was within her control, or for her own benefit or privilege. All her life, just an unconscious, unaware NPC who isn't responsible for anyone she hurts or how her children grow up feeling about themselves.
I just don't buy it, or like the way they talk about female child abusers. I think the reason they do it is because it's hard to accept that their mothers could have treated them better if they cared to, and they just didn't. Men abuse women because they know they'll get away with it, they're aware of this. They talk about how abusers don't "lose control", they wait to unleash their temper on the right person, at the right time, they know who they can be toxic with and to what extent. Unless you're a woman, of course. Long-suffering mommies blinded by internalized misogyny just can't stop themselves from taking all of their bad choices and "patriarchal stressors" out on children, who they know have no choice but to endure whatever treatment they're given. The soap opera of it all is so exhausting.
Hello blueflower,
Child abuse is due to the seven deadly sins, all of which stems from sex-consciousness.
Everybody has a soul, but they definitely act soulless. We are just coming out of the Dark Ages and moving upward toward the Golden Age, so 99.9% of people are totally ignorant to the fact that they even have a soul, let alone the Divine Reality. They are so incredibly ignorant it's genuinely not worth paying attention to if you want to attain happiness. Attempting to explain the soul or prana in general is like trying to explain why grass exists to a cow who needs grass to sustain itself.
⚬ Archons in the Flesh
99.9% of individual souls are encased with the deluded Ego. The leader of these Egos are commonly referred to as "Archons" which are essentially spiritual parasites that feed on negative emotions which the obligate pleasure-seeker is bound to experience and the Archons of hell rake in the negative energy after mass disillusionment such as economy collapses, sex orgies, school shootings because this place is hell, after all.
To be clear, Archons don't cause any of these events, so they have no power. However, the Archon-Ego incites individuals to act against Karmic Law and Karmic Law sanitizes the filth. Ultimately, it is the individual who chooses their destiny.
But this negative energy harvest isn't limited to unseen entities as the spiritual is always made manifest in some manner. Since the average person has a parasitic ego, the traits of the archon can be applied to them, the main difference is the ordinary person can be satiated with a a few streams of negativity instead of mass calamities. Parents typically their children and animals for their abuse because of their bloodlust for innocence.
A lot of them also openly call themselves psychopaths which is code for "pure ego." They find this trait attractive in each other as the "kill all males" types, but they are also interested in killing, raping and abusing women, children and animals. It's only the natural progression. It's not possible for an individual with these fantasies to separate individuals based on having the right genitals. Everything a person thinks about is eventually made manifest. Also, what people actively defend, in this case abuse, is also what they engage in.
A few days ago, I heard a mother screaming at her son outside of a grocery store. She was screaming it at the top of her lungs at least 30 times saying "sit down," but the child was already sitting because he was strapped into his seat and couldn't move. It seemed like she didn't want him to move at all, as if she wanted him to be a doll. She fed on his distress, it wasn't about obedience.
⚬ What a Feminist Wants
Radical feminists express anger towards the world due to their inability to find satisfying sexual experiences with suitable partners, which is why they hate God. Their primary focus is on pursuing pleasure like most people. They do not seek "liberation;" if they did, they would already have it... they don't realize that it is their pleasure seeking that keeps them enslaved to men.
Activist movements centered around interpersonal relationships often stem from individuals' frustrations with their inability to find desired partners or from their experiences as spurned exes. They also exhibit narcissistic tendencies by demanding others cater to their contraceptive needs or agree with their lust-opinions. I have yet to encounter a feminist who genuinely believes in what they espouse. In general, activism serves as a dating pool or time-killer, with individuals looking for a partner to ultimately leave the movement. Beyond the mistreatment of children (which they ignore because they're evil), there is virtually no oppression left as everybody is too busy oppressing themselves. The most marginalized individuals are those who are pure-hearted and love God. Considering even Jesus Christ, the kindest person in history, was crucified for being a beacon of goodness, it would be foolish to believe that those who are completely dark are mistreated by their comrades in degeneracy.
Everybody who doesn't at least know Karmic Law are unaware NPCs which is why it's no use to be concerned with their troubles. All activists are background characters in this Drama because they don't even know that they are protesting against their own actions. Really listen to what they're concerned about: instead of opting out of what they claim harms them, they want the government to make amendments to what they do in the bedroom. Most people like to join groups because the more people in a group, the less responsibility the individual has which ironically leads to groups not getting anything done as opposed to the singular person getting everything done. Feminists and the like are not supposed to be active participants in the world during this lifetime, they're only here to act as filler people who cause distractions to those who have the potential to realize God.
⚬ On Forgiveness
Forgiveness is to free yourself from being bound to evil, not excuse it allowing evil to roam free. Do all that you can to subdue evil and that is to control the mind and body from which evil emanates, starting with your own. I was also thinking that most people had mommy issues which is why they believe that their sexual depravities were okay, but it wasn't okay for males. Most people think women are inherently pure which is not the case, but they have to increase their knowledge to see that women are equally depraved as males, but play the submissive role in their heterosexual dynamic.
Lust manifests in females through eroticism and romance and isn't as obvious. The depravity women engage in typically occurs in their mind since women are more mental and their emotions can gratify them for longer stretches of time as opposed to males who wish to experience physical gratification as soon as possible. The most common escalation I have seen are women delving into cartoons about teenage boys. I've found that males and female are equally pedophilic either because that is how the lust mind works. They don't lose control, they just operate through the Ego to put on a fake front of virtue.
I knew a heterosexual 24 year old who told me how sexy she found a 5 year old boy and briefly mentioned a sexual act she would do to him. The boy was sitting on a nearby bench while we were skating getting his skates tied by his dad. I asked her if I heard her right and she repeated that she was talking about the child with a smirk on her ugly face. The death and malevolence in her eyes at that moment made me hate her instantly and she was dead to me. I later officially ended our friendship by benevolently abandoning her on a roadside two towns over with several heavy shopping bags. As I drove off she told me she hoped God took everything away from me which didn't age well.
Every single person who allows lust into their mind (which always results in sexual activity) are demons. The lustful mind always escalates and because it will justify its increased desire for pleasure and most people welcome intrusive thoughts because lust causes insanity. Most people are scared to lose their Ego because they're scared to lose the "creativity" a decaying mind gives them but somehow never gets anything done with this illusive "creativity."
Words cannot adequately express the power of Karmic Law. I used to be skeptical of its effectiveness, but once I stopped looking at Law through a materialistic lens and listened to people speak and what actions they engaged in, I witnessed their enslavement in real time. Karmic Law's quadratic precision is undeniable, it's immediate and I'm a vessel for it. I came here to work.
Now, I know with absolute clarity that those with the lust-mind will never experience love or happiness because they lack love for God. I don't believe that non-forgiveness brings bad karma. In fact, it has guided me swiftly towards God. I have zero tolerance for lust because I see the bigger picture. I absolutely detest anyone who thinks it's amusing or edgy to be a degenerate and I will never forgive them. Those individuals despise innocence, purity and children which means they have hated me before I could ever hate them. I forgive for the sake of my heart not anybody else, and I forget to remain present with God, not to give somebody more chances. I do not have a modicum of pity for those hate God.
Forgiveness is often advocated by lukewarm believers of the Abrahamic faiths who secretly despise God. Ignore their advice and search within yourself for answers. They seek forgiveness because they are degenerate. Personally, I have never had to ask for forgiveness from someone else so, what have they done to find themselves in a position where they need to seek forgiveness from an Ego?
⚬ Degenerate Mothers
Most mothers are degenerate because most women are degenerate. Motherhood doesn't make a woman pure, it's the removal of lust from her consciousness and loving God which makes her pure.
A mother's purpose is to shower her newborn with love and devotion. Some become upset that mothers only talk about their children, but I think it's a good thing when a mother is consumed with love for her children. Parents must fulfill their duties to their offspring because they have chosen to not dedicate their lives to God, but the material world.
Nobody is socialized into being a mother, parenthood occurs when a male and female has sex. It's inevitable. When a male and female with lust-consciousness get together, what else is there to do other than penis-in-vagina sex? Sure there's blowjobs and anal, but there will be times where vaginal sex will happen and then a child arrives. Even if they are using condoms, there will be a day when they get tired of condoms or it breaks. There will be a day when birth control doesn't work too. If it is ordained for a child to enter the world, it will happen... even if every single person on the planet stops having sex.
Parents actively despise children because children get in the way of their precious sex. One of the most common quotes I've heard from heterosexuals is, "If you want to ruin your marriage and sex life, have kids." or the "if you want to keep your marriage alive, don't have kids." Many believe that it is childfree that hates children, but it's difficult to feel that strongly about children when you don't have to look after them every minute of every day. Parents as a whole, hate their offspring, but there are a few genuinely good and pure parents who understand their purpose.

Ok so we know about Claus and Porky...but what about Ness and Porky in your AU? How did that fall apart and where are they standing now? I havent' read too much into the fic...
Intermission Ness & Porky are the same old story, minus the divine intervention. The fallout between these two has always been one of my favorite parts of EarthBound. There's something so raw and relatable about it - I think most folks've can recall experiences with childhood friends that, in retrospect, weren't so nice. Friendships between kids often drift apart over time, or rupture cataclysmically, or crumble under the pressure of something petty. Ness n' Porky were besties from a young age, but come adolescence, there's this sad realization that they're growing into totally incompatible people. Porky started mirroring his parents' behavior, lashing out, taking on all these manipulative tendencies ('cause his needs simply weren't being met). Taking advantage of Ness' naivete & unconditional kindness. Treating him like a plaything instead of a friend. But around 12/13, Ness was finally getting old enough to grasp the difference between lighthearted teasing & outright maliciousness. He came to understand, the hard way, that no amount of goodwill or forgiveness on his part would get his friend to stop hurting his feelings. The downhill from there's not explosive fights with baseball bats, time machines, and alien spider mechs. It's just the ordinary bitter, jealous, festering sort of fallout that real teenagers go through all the time. More under the cut.
I like to imagine they had a really sweet & genuine bond as little kids. Couple of dorky chubby nextdoor neighbors who probably got bullied at school, but found endless fun & solidarity together. From perhaps too young an age, Ness got the jist that Porky's home life wasn't so great, and wanted to provide his best bud with all the fun and safety he could. And ended up bein' kind of glued to him at the hip. Porky felt that Ness was the only person he was allowed be himself around. He could be confident with Ness by his side, and use that confidence to uplift them both. Because they were so close, a little dependent even, the wound is really raw for years to come. Ness feels a weird sense of responsibility for Porky. Like it's somehow his fault he turned out this way, or like it's his job to protect others from him going forward. Porky feels totally abandoned - essentially betrayed - by his dearest friend. Ness used to always put up with his antics, and then suddenly stopped, and poor little ol' Patrick Minch doesn't understand what went wrong (he does) (he just won't admit it was his fault).
There were a bunch of breaking points. Ness befriended Paula in middle school, which drove Porky absolutely feral with jealousy. He still maintains that she "stole" Ness from him, that Ness is an impressionable little ball of dough who got molded against him by his smartass new "girlfriend." There's also, uh. A nonzero amount of transphobia trickling down from Porky's conservative parents. My Ness spent his early childhood a quote-unquote "tomboy," but he proudly declared he was Actually Just A Boy at age twelve. And Patrick had so much internalized nonsense caked into his brain, he couldn't make heads or tails of it without barfing up Aloysius & Lardna's influence. (Which really hurt Ness, coming from his longtime closest confidant.) Porky's folks were breaking out into divorce and mayhem around the same time, while Ness' family seemed perfect as ever. I think some degree of envy was going on there. Porky's growing consciousness of the stability afforded by Ness' happy home life, versus Ness' growing consciousness of Porky's outrageous wealth. Some nasty tweenaged arguments might've flown in both directions, back then.
It broke Ness' heart to forsake Porky, but he bravely did it and stood by it. By the time they hit high school, the two of 'em were thoroughly cut off. Though Porky still made frequent efforts to fuck with Ness, hoping to snag his attention back… Stealing his stuff, threatening him, leaving cryptic notes begging Ness to come find him in isolated locations. It, uh. Never worked. At least never as intended.
The big thing about Intermission Porky is like… in EarthBound, he Phase Distorts away, becomes an immortal thirteen-forever manchild, and artfully dodges all consequences forever. Here, though, he's granted no such luxury. He's literally just some guy. He's forced to grow up, kicking and screaming. Expected to act his age, just like everybody else. And all the while, he's bitterly comparing himself to Ness. Watching his old bestie grow into a happy, likeable, well-adjusted young adult. Ness maintains jobs & internships. Makes new friends everywhere he goes. While Porky drives away everyone he knows, skirts by on his parents' wealth, runs ill-fated crypto schemes 'cause he's too good for (read: genuinely terrified of) any sort of employment. The bitterness is eating him alive from the inside out, and corroding his sense of self worth, but he'd rather die than apologize or ask for help. So he just sits in his rut, secretly mortified by the progression of time & the lonely mundanity of his plight, taking it out on the version of Ness that lives on in his head. The more I think about it, whatever the hell Intermission Porky is going through might just be canon Porky's worst nightmare. Huh.
Ness, on the other hand, has this huge sad sore spot in his psyche where Porky used to be. Because he's such a hopelessly sappy little dude, he still feels all kinds of pity & nostalgia & loss about it. But he's also grown a spine since his youth. Learned his lesson, for sure. He treats Porky with an excessive degree of caution. Avoids interactions at all costs, and encourages others to do the same. He's got this funny thing where he's normally the most laidback guy you'll ever meet - but if Porky comes up, he instantly becomes uncharacteristically jittery and irritable. There's a bit in Intermission (the fic) (the first one) where he stands up for Claus by confronting Porky - it's the only time I've ever written Ness shouting or swearing. All in all, though, he's recovering mostly peacefully. Learning how to move on & let it go. There will probably come a day when Ness is in his thirties and he thinks back on Porky and he realizes, with a contented sigh, that he's more or less over it. (Which is also, probably, one of Porky's worst nightmares.)
Bonus: Here's a snippet from Hatchback. Ness reflecting on his friendship with Porky (they're like 9 or 10 here).

I bet ksh wrote the "what if Lloyd wasn't a useless drunk" fic right after ppl who read the "Lloyd dies at the beginning and everyone is better off bc of it" fic accused him of hating Lloyd's character lmao. Just to be like "see i don't hate him (more than normal fans do)!" And then it started new discourse about the only palatable way Lloyd was avoiding death/getting significant screentime in his stories was if he was totally ooc lol
about this au
askhdjksah "see i don't hate the guy!" (<- wrote a completely different guy with the same name)
some people accused him of character bashing and even when most of his readers pointed out that he wasn't writing anything that wasn't either canon or completely in character, suho still decided to see if he could write a fic that involved lloyd frontera as a main character without being an antagonist. and it turned out it was really fucking hard lol
so he just. changed a few things. couple little nothings.
the thing is i can kinda see suho. despising. lloyd's character alskhkda
is just that. the guy has everything he would kill for. he has his parents, a little brother, financial stability and a potential loyal friend right there and he wastes all of it by being a complete bastard. he would want to wring his neck sooo bad ajkskda
maybe in a particular bad night when he misses his parents, feels really lonely and only had one cup of ramen to eat the entire day, he reads a part of tkbi where lloyd acts especially nasty and gets really bitter so he writes a rant fic about how things would've been so much better if lloyd had just died and stopped making his family miserable.
once he gets it out of his system, he probably feels a bit embarrassed about how angry the fic turned out but he does see a glimmer of a good idea there so he turns it into a tamer version of an outline, where he strips away most of the raw emotion and changes it into a bittersweet tale of how the death of someone irrevocably changes the lives around them in ways that sometimes aren't predictable.
it's not even a "he died and everyone was happy about it" fic as that would be 1) in bad taste and 2) not in character. it would've been more about how lloyd's death paralyzed the fronteras so much in their shock and grief that some key events in their downfall would've been missed. how the absence of abuse would've allowed julian to flourish onto himself even as he dealt with mixed feelings about the way he feels about his older brother and whether he wishes to forgive him now that he's dead but can never make amends to him. like. that kinda thing.
and because it turns into a genuinely good fic it escapes containment from ksh's usual readers circle and ends up being a hot topic into the general fandom.
which is divided between those who think is a very bittersweet fic that doesn't bash the character but does point out his canon actions and depicts his death as tragic while acknowledging the consequences both bad and good it has. and those who think it's still in poor taste to write something that basically boils down "if he died everything would've been okay" and point out the narrative itself does carry heavy negativity against lloyd.
it is. messy.
suho isn't really affected by the criticism he gets but he does try not to project too hard onto his fics and some called out it almost seems personal so he kinda panics and writes something that deflect the accidental emotional vulnerability that slipped through and writes the other fic and he even makes lloyd suffer just a little bit in this one. compared to what the fic would actually be if he was being more honest. it is after all an attempt at making it seem like he doesn't hate the guy (more than normal that is) lol
of course that fic starts other kind of discourse but! i do see lloyd being a divisive character in the fandom in general, a lot of people would really dislike him based on his abuse on julian, his meanness to javier and the contempt he shows for his parents, but i can also see some people woobifying him and thinking he just needed some,,, idk, love ig?? (*cough* ignoring the fact he had a family that loved him and he alienated by his behavior *cough*). so the discourse that ensues after his second fic is less targeted to him and more in line with the discourse that would surround og!lloyd anyway so it's fine.
i also kinda love the idea of suho being the kind of cryptid writer that doesn't really leave author notes or has any online presence besides their ao3 notes. so he just drops the most compelling pieces of fiction people have read in the entire year and then vanishes again, only replying to nice comments with a "thanks!" or "happy you liked it :)" and a "👍🏽" or "ok" to assholes.
so he drops his "Lloyd dies at the beginning and everyone is better off bc of it" fic, drops from the face of earth to everyone else, sees the discourse it starts, writes the "what if Lloyd wasn't a useless drunk" fic, drops it and then sees an even bigger discourse start all without commenting a single thing about it askjdksa
he drops two consecutive atomic bombs on the fandom and then dips out. he has two jobs he's got no time for disk-horse after all aksdjkla

so. miss lola torres. how are things with her? yknow. before. how in contact is she with thatcher or dave and the like. what's it like for her and cesar by themselves?
In the canon htb au (ignoring the divergence), this is a rundown of her character/life:
* She became quite good friends with Mark's mum - Cesar and Mark met when they were both 9 through school.
* She is a single mother. Cesar’s dad walked out on them when Cesar was only 2 and from what he's heard about him, the guy wasn't too great.
* She doesn't know Thatcher but does know Ruth as she was the officer who responded to a domestic disturbance call (like I said, Cesar's dad was a nasty piece of work). She never saw Ruth that often but whenever they crossed paths they'd stop and talk for a while.
* Cesar is her everything and there's nothing she wouldn't do for him. She is very supportive and always turns up to Cesar's baseball games to cheer him on. Cesar is a great kid because he knows he's loved and he loves his mum - she's one of his best friends.
* Though she's a great mum, she is terrified of being a failure and punishes herself hard for anything that's actually quite normal for a kid to go through. It's why in ch 1 of INWCT that she took Cesar's mental health issues as a personal slight against herself and refused to acknowledge them. She was terrified Cesar's dad had been right about her being a mother.
* She's a practising Catholic but let Cesar form his own opinions on religion and was fully accepting when he said he wasn't interested in being religious.
* She's a mum who expresses her love through cooking. She's from Mexico originally (she emigrated when she was a teenager with her parents to the US) and makes a lot of dishes important to her and her heritage. She also happens to make the best blueberry pancakes Mark has ever had!
* Cesar can speak Spanish but not as fluently as his mum. The high-school he attended didn't offer a very thorough Spanish course and she wanted to pay for him to have some private lessons but she was never able to afford it - she's not a very good teacher herself (she tried but they only ended up getting stressed out by one another). Cesar can still understand Spanish when it's spoken to him, but it still takes him a minute to process what's being said.
* Lola's parents are still living in Virginia. It was her ex that forced them to move to Mandela, Wisconsin (he was isolating her from them). By the time he'd left, she'd already made a life in Mandela and couldn't financially afford to move back to Virginia. It's taken some time, but she's genuinely happy in Wisconsin.
* When Hannah Heathcliff dies, she makes sure to keep an eye on Mark but he really doesn't seem to want to talk about things with her. She notices him becoming more and more withdrawn, but being with Cesar seems to make him genuinely happy. And she hopes that is enough.
