so someone made a tweet about how it's dangerous to portray abusers as 100% evil because they're frequently charming and have lives outside of the abuse they do, etc

and the thing is - they're right about that, but it's a massive stretch to apply it to Valentino

put it this way - if we want to understand abuse and avoid doing it ourselves, we collectively need to avoid othering abusers as incomprehensible monsters who cannot be understood, because then we can't learn how to recognize the signs and help the people who need it, or stamp out those urges within ourselves

but there's a difference betweent that and what Viv is doing with Val. the way Viv writes Val makes me think that she struggles to really want to condemn him for how he treats Angel. to her it's just a dramatic element to a story with the benefit of getting flowers for 'talking about abuse' when her handling of it is frequently cartoonish. most abusers don't hit their victims or abuse them in front of other people, but Val gives Angel a black eye right in front of the princess of hell, before they're due to do a shoot. both Val and Stella are incredibly stupid characters, and just like Crimson Viv's only understanding of abuse seems to be 'whatever makes my characters miserable and therefore sympathetic', instead of what it should be - a means of establishing a pattern of control

same reason why none of her shows allow the characters to escape or even try to kill their abuser despite it being set in Hell. the abusers just have to stick around forever for angst reasons. the only character who has managed to even attempt it is Stolas, and despite him having all the power, money and resources he could hope the show won't allow him to cut Stella out of his life because the divorce plotline is like a never ending nightmare in HB. a better show might use it as a comment on how abusers effectively terrorize their victims in lifelong campaigns for the upper hand, but here it's just an excuse to get the audience to feel sorry for a literal prince instead of questioning why he doesn't think it's wrong to extort sex out of someone far less wealthy and powerful than him

not to mention that part of the reason abusers are charming is to make it harder for their victims to come forwards and be believed. Val by comparison is just a pathetic wet cat who needs coddling by Vox and talking out of impulses that should have exposed him as an abuser long ago. in anyone else's hands I'd assume they were trying to do the thing The Idol attempted (the Weeknd's car wreck of a tv show) of pointing out the charming abuser isn't charming, they're just pathetic, but Viv herself seems to genuinely like Val and want people to simp for him

did Viv even write Angel's prequel comic? the Valentino in that is so much more convincing as an abuser - he restrains Angel's freedoms by threatening him, punishes him, demeans him, tries to keep him in a strict little box about what he is and isn't allowed to do, etc. and he does it in the privacy of a limo, around other employees, not where there'll be witnesses

Well said. I'd argue that it's fine to portray some abusers as 100% evil -- sometimes it works, and the world's no worse off for the abusive dog boyfriend from Courage existing -- but Viv does this thing where she refuses to portray abusers as 100% evil, or even evil period, if they're male characters she likes. Female characters like Stella? Need to be killed, then killed some more, and if you sympathize with them at all Viv will make fun of you publicly. It's so much more dangerous than if she just made them all outright monsters.

Also I don't know if Faustisse wrote the Angel prequel comic, but it wouldn't surprise me. The writing was too mature to be all Viv.

Kirishima's Mystique:Babewatch

Somedays Denki wondered and worried if Mineta's libido was going to be the death of him. Now don't Ol' Jamming Whey wrong (and remember only Kyouka can call him that), he had a more than healthy appreciation for the opposite sex himself but the little grape-head was far too willing to endure great lengths of pain and humiliation to get his jollies. Small wonder the girls in their class didn't dare to risk wanting a look inside the runt's dorm room and right about now the human tazer was wondering if plucking off some of those sticky balls of his was giving him brain damage. Given what sort of plan he was looking to spring into action which he claimed was 100% guaranteed to get him some major action or if you were being a realist like kaminari?

It was an idea that reeked of sheer dumbass stupidity that would likely see Mineta at the very least get the crap beaten out of him or at the most and worst? Beaten to death, arrested and humiliated and not necessarily in that order, mind you. Now you might be asking what's got Denki so worries and Mineta more perversely impulsive than usual? Well naturally a little provision of context is in order here, folks....

The fine guys and gals of UA's class A and B were having a nice relaxing get together at the local community swimming pool one fine summer day. Said pool was being overseen by an absolute stunner of a lifeguard named Kanani who had come all the way from Hawaii on a work exchange program for a change of scenery. Now believe you me this woman was a work of sensual art, a curvy, thick and toned rich natural born islander tanned body contained within a skin-tight hugging red one piece swimsuit distinct of all in her profession. Definitely good genetics along with years of swimming and surfing topped off with a model quality face and luscious sun-kissed flowing mane of blonde hair.

She was definitely turning heads be it man or woman and who could blame them really? Now Denki among other guys was certainly fine just watching albeit with more control and a bit of politeness but Mineta? Good grief the grape head had been a bit much to deal with sharing way too many detailed, vivid scenarios about what he'd love to do to even get close to that island goddess. Which of course leads back to what was making ol' Chargebolt worry so much.

Denki:"I'm telling you man, it's just not going to work out the way you want it to…” *The electric ikemen reasoned with the grape runt. But of course he knew it was falling on deaf ears. Once Mineta listened to his libido, all bets were off. Hard to believe this guy was among the highest rated students in class on the written tests.*

Mineta:”Ooh ye of little faith, you’ll be changing your tune once I make my moves on that Hawaiian hottie.”*The human grapebowl arrogantly declared with confidence as shameless as his lust. In his mind this plan was fool proof, he saw it in this old 90s American movie. He’d fake drowning and Kanani as per her duty would dive in to save him then proceed to deliver cpr. And that was when he’d spring his trap…*

Denki however knew Murphy’s law would see to it that Mineta’s so called fool proof plan would be anything but. As he sat beside Sero who watched on curiously with him, wondering why the walking taser seemed so deadpan as they saw Mineta strut along the pool edge. Amidst the swarm of activity throughout as classes A and B enjoyed those rare welcome moments of actual student normality, Mineta shot a glance at Kanani sitting high and comfy in her lifeguard chair as she made some small talk with Mina and Maya before he smirked as he waited for his moment. Well he would’ve had it not been for what happened next.

If there was one thing to be said about the sequence of events that occured, it was like if klutziness played out as elaborate and over the top as a Rube Goldberg machine. As Mineta found himself stepping and slipping on a stray puddle, causing him to glide along the pool floor like an air hockey puck. Proceeding to crash right into the six packed abdominals of Kirishima, as the runt’s sticky balls caused him to bounce off and fly away all over the place like a pinball. Finding himself landing right in the hot tub with a splash, said tub occupied of course by Class A's own walking short fused, Bakugo who was none too pleased to find his personal relaxation time violated.

While Mineta was suffering his, quite frankly not undeserved, punishment, poor Kirishima had wound up being knocked by the grape-head into the pool. Which wouldn't be so bad had the stumbling not caused him to fall in such a way that his head had hit the edge on the way down. Rendering him knocked out as he fell in with a splash much to the shock and panic of many especially his girlfriends. Fortunately Kanani was quick to react as anyone in her profession would, exiting her perch to dive in and save him.

Now Kirishima wasn't sure if it might've been just the possible concussion of the loss of oxygen from water filling his lungs as she sank into the deep end. But as he looked up at the sky above the water, the sunlight shining down, his brain couldn't help but think as he caught sight of Kanani. Making him remark how she looked rather angelic, almost equal parts like a mermaid and an angel coming to his rescue. Certainly wasn't a bad last sight to see before his vision faded as unconsciousness claimed him, blacking out.

For a moment Kirishima had nearly wondered if this might be the end for him but he found he wasn't having his life flash before his eyes. No, rather it was his sex life as like a veritable montage, memories played of his sting of romps and fun times with Mina and Maya. Not to mention that of his many frequent erotic encounters and illicit, explicit liaisons, practically feeling their bodies against his, the tastes of their tongues and their lips on his. It all felt so very real before he cracked his eyes open, vision proceeding to un-blur and show that no, it was not a coincidence why the sensations felt so vivid.

The reason being Kanani was laying atop him, their surroundings indicating they were in the Pool’s medical room. Straddling his waist, the camel toe of her swimsuit grounding against the crotch of his swimsuit. The bulge bumping against her motions as she was pressing her lips to his, tongue exploring his mouth as it traced and memorised his sharp, pointy teeth. Not an unpleasant surprise to wake up to but certainly not expected to say the very least as she noticed he was awake, breaking their liplock with a trailing strand of saliva between them.

Kanani:*a sensual grin and blush on her sexy face as she sat up, not moving from where she sat straddling him.*"Aloha handsome, was wondering when you'd wake up. No worries, your head is fine, got a little carried away with the cpr, but I'd say your girlfriends didn't mind..."*That got the redhead’s attention as he looked to the side to see Mina and Maya sitting on a nearby bench. Sensual grins in their faces as they waved playfully, no doubt eager to watch the pending show. Before he looked back at the Hawaiian blonde bombshell who leaned close to his face, lips inches from kissing him once more.* “That being said, I think you and I both k know where this is going and I ain’t picky. Its been way too long since I got any action so tell me…you a riot in the sheets as much as on the streets?”

Kirishima’s expression became determined, his gaze passionate as he responded the way he knew best when in the presence of such a sensual woman like this. Making her gasp as he grabbed her glorious tanned booty with firm squeezes, pressing his lips to hers much to Kanani’s delight as they began to make out more properly. Tongues dancing together as the lifeguard rubbed her cameltoe against his pitched tent, her nectar flowing through the material of her swimsuit. Maya and Mina’s arousal skyrocketing as they fingered one another, making out as they watched their man once again prove his stud status.

Now for those of you wondering about the others in the meantime, they were resuming their R&R in the meantime especially after Mineta had to get hauled away on a stretcher after what Bakugo had done to him. Leaving the lifeguard plenty of privacy to enjoy the sturdy himbo as she performed in a 69 position, stroking his cock as she sucked and blew on it while he had pried the crotch portion of her swimsuit. His tongue probing away as he licked and ate out her pussy, tasting the flow of her juices while she levelled up and whipped her tits out. Sandwiching his juicy sex meat between her meaty boob buns, stroking and massaging thst length and girth with pillowy warmth.

Now if Kanani thiught this foreplay was getting her nice and wet, the moment Kirishima started to fuck her? She found him putting any and every prior man in her sex life to shame and she was loving it!! Screaming with wanton sexual desire and abandon as he fucked in a mating press. Her tanned booty jiggling with every impact of those heavy balls and that jackhammering cock dancing together in a sloppy open air game of spitswapping tonsil hockey.

Of course just the very moment he penetrated her had made he cum, orgasms rocking her so intensely that she couldn’t keep count. But any and every moment he came was a different story, the thrill and rush of his cum pouring inside her or spraying in her exotic skin the sweetest ecstasy. Of all the hunks at this pool today, talk about luck of the draw getting acquainted with an absolute unit as she continued to ride the Red Riot wave of passion. Relishing each and every shift in position and intimacy.

Kanani:”ooh fuck, oh god, You’ve cum 3 times and you haven’t pulled out once yet? You even human?”*the blonde islander babe praised as Kirishima was currently fucking her doggy style. Fully naked as her red one piece was discarded, laying in the floor as he pumped away into her snatch. Her tanned body glistening with luscious sheen of sweat, gasping with delight a the himbo stud used her arms as handle bars or firmly grabbed and pulled her glorious mane of blonde hair. Her boobs bouncing with erotic freedom as the medical bed shook and creaked.*

Mina and Maya were naked themselves of course and scissoring one another at watching their himbo teddy bear get another hottie get sexually addicted to his fuck meat. The blonde hottie screaming and howling as she was bent and twisted in a mating press and a piledriver. Before she found Kirishima really showing off those powerful muscles of his as he pumped her on his cock in a full nelson nold. Postion after postion, orgasm after orgasm and it only got spicier and wilder whe the cotton candy/bubblegum duo added the elves into the fray.

Mineta meanwhile laid in the exam room of the nearby local hospital, awaiting for someone like recovery girl to come along and heal him up. Currently heavily bandaged and mumbling at how badly his plan went wrong. Before he coils reflect any further and plan his next idea of making a move on Kanani, his cellphone buzzed as he fished it out and checked. A notification from Mina which he opened and screamed bloody murder.

Tears of blood flowing as he found his phone spammed with videos and pictures of Kirishima fucking Kanani as well as the alien queen and The shapeshifting hottie. Cursing God for making him so as once again Kirishima beat him out in terms of sex and luck with women. While Kanani was still noting her fun and making plans to get better acquainted with the chivalrous stud. Especially if he ever decided to come on down to Hawaii sometime….

(I hope that it didn't have been send two times, Tumblr has bugged for me while i was writing the message so i don't know if he has send it because i could finish ^^")

The plan to kill Emma was incredibly stupid and risky. Kisaki count on the fact that Mikey would be broken by his sister's death and then easy to manipulate by both him and Izana. But Mikey could have done FULL berserk, the Dark Impulses at their worse and i doubt that Izana could have stop him in this state. I mean all Tenjiku would have suffered of Mikey's wrath… Well Koko would have been the only one enough smart to throw away the uniform and hide behind Takemichi (who was maybe/probably/more or less the anti-DI at this point).

Kisaki maybe didn't plan that Takemichi would be with Emma and would see him, since the plan was to use a fake culprit. He bets on the fact that Mikey would be broken by the death of his sister (he was not wrong) and so easy to manipulate and use by him and Izana (and we have the manilla timeline where takemichi wasn't with her, probably), but Mikey could have reacted by having his DI going the worse they ever had been. 100% Berserk. He would have killed Kisaki and Izana without any hesitation.

By the way, how do you think that Mikey would have reacted if Takemichi had protected Emma and had been severely hurt (but thank to the main character plot armor, he would not die. Only Mikey with a katana can kill him) by Kisaki?

Yeah I actually thought the same about the plan! Like Kisaki was lucky Mikey's dark impulses didn't trigger there. I guess Kisaki knew that wasn't going to happen though? Out of everyone Kisaki seems to have the most knowledge over the dark impulses and how to manipulate them so he must've been able to predict they wouldn't come out. (Either that or he assumed Izana would be able to beat him/ make the impulses stop).

Yeah the Takemichi being there prove wasn't part of the plan? I don't think he could've predicted that (though then again how did he predict Mikey would tell Emma to give them privacy and then be standing on that road anyway). Though Kisaki didn't seem concerned that Takemichi saw him at all. He probably thought tenjiku would win, Izana would have control over Mikey and it wouldn't matter anyway.

How would Mikey have reacted to Takemichi getting severely hurt though? I think in a similar way to Emma's death, he would be overcome with guilt and blame himself for this. He'd probably also refuse to leave the hospital and i could see him apologising a lot to Hina when she eventually found out. We know Mikey feels very responsible for the people he cares about so Takemichi getting badly hurt would definitely make him put the blame on himself.

#ykw seeing mikey sitting like that after Emma's death is actually so sad #tokyo revengers spoilers

Good afternoon Sex Witch!

I was hoping you could help me figure out how to change how I think about sex and unlearn some prudishness/ disentangle it from more genuine concerns and red flags.

Yadda yadda conservative small town childhood, classic backstory. I definitely got a sense of… I guess, safety and rightness by being very “these things are always bad”; not just sex things but sex was, of course, still one of the big things. Of course, then came puberty, and getting out of my comfort zone, and realizing how toxic purity culture was. Growing up meant, in part, my learning to do better by re-examining things I’d taken for granted.

That’s why I’m asking: there’s a lot of… lingering discomfort with a few things. I realized I still feel pretty… uncomfortable around people who have a lot of sex with multiple partners, along with the topics of polyamory and open relationships. I’m monogamous and I’m not ashamed of that, and of course I keep my opinions to myself when around friends who are happy in non-monogamous relationships. Cuz like, this is ABSOLUTELY a me-problem. I would just like to not feel like this and be unambiguously happy for people I otherwise love living their best lives.

(I’m also single and shy; I strongly suspect that envy over people who can attract multiple partners when I can’t seem to even attract one is a polluting variable.)

Regardless, do you have any links to point me to or thoughts to help me dismantle this ugly bigotry protoplasm? Cuz I know I’m wrong; I’d just like to get the bit of my brain to stop sending these stupid alarm signals.

hi anon,

okay, so, first I just want to say congrats to you on the obvious massive amounts of work that you've done to identify the biases you were raised with and work to uproot them. I know you're here because you feel you still have work to do, and I respect that completely, but I think it's also important to recognize that you've clearly come very far from what you were raised with. being able to recognize when something is a you-problem is HUGE.

I also want to say, as gently and with as much love as possible, that it may not ever be possible to totally 100% possible eradicate thoughts that we don't like. in a way, the idea that we can and should be able to control our impulsive reactions to things is still very conservative, right? it's the idea of "thought crime," except now instead of being upset at yourself for having a sexual thought it's being upset for having a thought that's not sexually open enough.

while I understand wanting to eradicate that unpleasant little "yuck" response out of your brain forever, I also believe very firmly that your thoughts alone don't define you or your values. okay, so your knee-jerk reaction to someone you love announcing that they're in an open relationship is discomfort. but what are your actions? what are you saying and doing? are you lecturing them about their immoral lifestyle, or are you pushing that discomfort aside and doing your best to be supportive of someone else's happiness even if you don't personally get it?

your actions and how you're treating the people you care about matter a lot more than the thoughts that you can't help.

having said that, it's still nice to have some framework for how to work through those feelings of discomfort to at least see if it's possible to diminish them and change that line of thinking. luckily, sex educator Nadine Thornhill just wrote about this in her latest newsletter, which I definitely recommend checking out - Dr. Thornhill is gem.

so, with full credit and hoping that she would forgive me for borrowing, here's an excerpt from Dr. Thornhill's newsletter:

Like all humans, I have a judgey little mind that is constantly observing, assessing, assuming, inferring, and drawing conclusions based on random stimuli. That’s always happening, even when I’m in sex-educator mode. But what I can do (and you can, too, if you want) is practice being mindful of my judgements, especially negative judgements. The most critical part of the practice has been getting curious about my body signals. When someone makes a sexual decision I don’t like, a question I try to ask myself is: What does that feel like in my body? Sometimes, I’ve struggled to maintain that level of in-the-moment mindfulness when working with real people and consequences.Movies and TV have helped me explore some of that stuff. It’s a safe place to judge fictional folks and their fictional sexual choices freely. Meanwhile, being able to pause, rewind or replay a provocative scene lets me take the time to take stock of my physical reactions. With time and practice, it’s become easier to recognize the specific muscle tension and rapid breathing that signals disapproval. Why is this important? We may not be able to stop ourselves from forming judgements about other people’s sexual choices. But if we understand and acknowledge them as judgements rather than facts, we can work to avoid imposing our will on other people. One way we might do so is by asking ourselves the following questions: Does this person’s decision affect my body, relationships, or autonomy? What would have to be true for me to want to make this same choice? What might make this a positive choice for this person right now? How might my own experiences or situations be affecting my opinion? How can I express kindness and compassion while still respecting their right to make their own choice?

much appreciation to Dr. Thornhill for putting this so succinctly; I'd definitely recommend checking out her work for anon and anyone else!

Ironwood should have never been the villain

Hot take but I disagree.

I think Ironwood is perfect antagonist to showcase how fallible and flawed humanity can be. He is well meaning and he genuinely believes in his mission and goals and the idea of Greater Good. But he's also someone who grew up in post-world-war times in a country that's 100% was the bad guy before and is in quite a fickle state. Its no wonder he would strive to be better and desperately try to prove himself, even at the cost of his own wellbeing (oh look the theme of self sacrifice again and the toxic notion of "heroism" based upon society's expectations). Writing him as rigid by-the-book General that is willing to do whatever is necessary to keep the fragile peace going makes 100% sense. But inability to change and improvise should also be his flaw - while Ironwood sees threats that Ozpin is blind to, Ironwood genuinely does not realize the consequences and issues Ozpin sees in him.

I am of opinion that he was always intended to eventually "cross the line" and do something genuinely bad out of desperation and circumstance. The type of person that, when situation goes completely out of his control, would end up with him making decisions that are hard or impossible to come back from. A tragic case of a good intentions leading to worst decisions. A case study of human nature and the effect division, desperation and self destructive impulses can have upon it. And a thematic allusion of the real world's tendency to abandon war veterans and soldiers to their personal hell with no regard for their mental or physical wellbeing, after their country exploited them to the ultimate limit.

The issue however, just like with pretty much EVERYTHING in the show, is absolutely ZERO ACTUAL PROGRESSION. Its true for character relationships - Yang and Blake never actually getting to solve the issues that have been brewing since V3. Its true for characterization - Yang, Blake, Ruby, Weiss - all of them basically were given less than breadcrumbs so far rather than proper character writing - it took YEARS to acknowledge that Ruby might be traumatized and even that ended up with writing off trauma and character progression as NOT NEEDED "YOU ARE FLAWLESS" nonsense and Yang still has pretty much ZERO development in terms of her trauma (And Blake literally exists only as character design). It extends to the world itself too - time in Remnant only seems to move when there's a screentime given to a location - Come Volume 20, Glynda will still be vaguely standing around Vale and Mistral will still be exactly identical place as the team left it.

So its no surprise that that's true for character alignment too - Summer is either Best Mother Ever or Filthy Dishonest Liar, Raven is either uwusadregrets or Worst Mother Ever How Dare She. Even Salem is not immune to this as she literally has TWO phases of her backstory - "omg caring wife" and "I literally want to murder the entire world out of spite", with the awful flashback episode flipping the switch INSTANTLY between the two states. And that's true for Ironwood - there's no character arc. There's no actual genuine exploration of "road to hell is paved with good intentions", there's no moral conundrum. There's just a flip of the switch as plot demands. Its a Game of Thrones-esque situation where the writers wanted to do specific thing with the character but kind of forgot to do the reasonable build-up, so it just happens. THE BELLLLLLLLLS.

What I think should have happened is that Salem's stupid fortress of DOOM or relics or Cinder or Salem's Evil Troupe of Evil should have never played a role in Fall of Atlas. It should have been ALL Internal. Just Kingdom of Atlas imploding in on itself as consequence of Fall of Beacon and the worsening situation in the world. Make Atlas story arc ALL ABOUT power plays within Atlas, with different people having wildly different ideas on where to actually aim the army at and different characters having different ideas on how to bring back order to destabilized country. Just have the team be stuck in a situation that is few steps away from world war with different ways provided to solve it. In the end, lines are crossed and Atlas falls apart from it's own sense of self-importance, grandeur, paranoia, classism and nationalism and Ironwood, misguided and tragic, falls with the country he sacrificed everything for. The lead cast are left to wonder whether there was any other way to resolve this, but they'll never know. In this situation, willingly or unwillingly, they played the role of being the ones at the center of a Kingdom falling apart. What do they do now? Where do they go from here? Does each of them question actions that led them to this point in time? Do all of them arrive at the same conclusion?

I think to sell this its important to have Salem side to NEVER lift even a finger. The Story of Fall of Atlas is the story of division of humanity and Salem's side already did all they need to do with Beacon for that. Humanity are the ones that, as lyrics go, train their heroes and build their armies, and then with single moment, single event, they turn on each other and burn.

I need Nancy and Eddie to be besties because Nancy would 100% encourage Eddie’s lack of impulse control, I love Robin but she’s a panicker (is that a word? also same girl) and I feel like she’d encourage hypothetical ideas but never go through with it but yes Nancy Wheeler absolutely wants to do something stupid for once and she has a gun and she knows a place so off they go and Steve and Robin run after them in despair because Nancy and Eddie together are an unstoppable wall of ‘hey you know what would be funny?’

#Steve screaming in the background that no it absolutely would not be fun #Robin is caught between laughing at them and being worried about them #all the kids encourage it of course #let Nancy Wheeler have fun #eddie munson #Nancy Wheeler #steve harrington #robin buckley #fruity four #stranger things #platonic edancy #they're that meme about the teacups at Disney #Robin and Steve happily spinning around whilst Eddie and Nancy are screaming and going at the speed of light behind them

Shigaraki x reader

Part one!

Initiation

Quirk; spilt personality: There are millions of different versions of you, all with different personalities and apperances. Depending on how much you use the alter they can have full control of switching and are aware of the other alters and your quirk.

You happily hummed as you followed the recruiter, earlier this week he had told you he could get you a spot in the notorious league of villains better known as the LOV and today was your "interview".

What was his name again? Giran? Something like that.

He grumbled underneath his breath as he flicked his half-finished cigarette on the ground. A minute ago it had started raining cats and dogs almost out of nowhere.

He took a turn into an alley and started power walking, you must be close. You changed your pace to match his and you were there in 10 seconds flat.

He opened the door and let himself in you soon followed in, Giran started to make one sided small talk as he talked about Shigaraki's latest attack.

You took everything in, there was a bar with cheap looking alcohol on shelves, there was a long Island and a couple stools one of which the infamous leader sat on. He had a hand covering his face, he was scratching his neck and it only intensified by every word Giran said. The air freshener called Kurogiri stood complete still until Shigaraki spoke.

"Enough with the formalities, who is she?" He scowled and pointed at you.

"New up and coming villain, figured she'd be perfect for your operation."

"Whats your quirk?" You weren't exactly sure how to describe it and neither was Giran.

"Well its tough to describe-."

"I asked her not you." They all turned to face you.

"I have different alters... They're all different people they have different apperances, skills, ages. I have millions of them." Their gaze was a little intimidating.

"So what a mix of Toga and Twice? Whats so special about that?" Taking a deep breath you switched. A girl in her mid 20's with long brown hair. Your clothes switched as well and you dug into your coat pocket and pulled out a picture. It was a picture of Endeavour's Christmas party, you were included in the photo.

"I've worked there for years and I'm a trusted member, so if you don't want information about his plans, his weaknesses, family, whereabouts secrets that could destroy him. I'll gladly leave and find someone who isn't stupid enough to pass this up." Over confidence was one of her key personality traits but dude were you really threatening the most dangerous man in Japan.

"You watch your mouth." Shigaraki hissed from what your heard he was impulsive and irrational so the fact you weren't dust right now was proof his interest had been peaked.

"Why would you betray Endeavor after all those years."

"I play the long game plus that piece of shit should be rotting in hell instead of rolling in cash and being celebrated."

"Are you certain she's not an undercover hero?" Kurogiri asked in a polite manner.

"100%." He had asked the same question when you first found him thankfully a couple body parts later he believed you.

You hoped he would tell them your kill count so he would truly see how powerful you were but he didn't.

"We're not some charity we need to make sure you're not a nuisance to us on missions. How can she fight?"

"Shes the best of all the other recruits, kicked all their asses." That was true but you kind off were at an unfair advantage because any time you got hurt you could just switch to a different alter that was more specialized in the specific persons fighting style.

"Welcome to the league." Shigaraki said then hopped off the stool then disappeared into a hall way a couple seconds later a door slammed.

It was interesting how easy it was to get in, i guess thats why Giran said he was the best of the best.

You weren't exactly sure what to do now thankfully Kurogiri was ahead of you.

"Please sit, miss...?"

"Y/n."

"Well please allow me to fix you a drink." You'd have to be a total idiot to accept a drink from a stranger not to mention a villain.

"Sorry I don't drink." You lied as you sat down and crossed your legs.

The next hour was spent in awkward silence and the occasional small talk.

"You got stuck on baby sitting duty, huh?"

"Tomura doesn't like new recruits being unsupervised." Fair enough.

Kurogiri started explaining that you'd have to stay with them until they did a full background check and made sure you weren't a spy.

This is my first real fanfic and I'm trying to decide if I should make this a Shigaraki or Dabi fanfic but ill label it as Shigaraki anyways tell me which one would be better

Another old news i wanna drag your attention: Markus deviancy is about ANGER. His walls tells it that much, even the situation that caused it in the first place.

What does it mean? Means he gonna feel pleasure in violence and also power (cuz it's a release). His dynamic is built in Anger (negative emotions) vs Rational (path of Shadows vs Light).

And lemme tell ya something - IT'S FUCKING OK FEELING HATRED. Do i gotta remember he took a .45 in the head inside his own house? That humans treat androids like garbage? Do i needa remember ya he got a WHOLE CUT SECTION that would talk exactly about his dilemma of anger and rebellion or submitting to humans?

It's the cliche "i gotta control my impulses" cuz violence = acting without a brain = bad decisions, acting the same way humans treat androids. Yep, androids feeling emotions like this is the "bad thing" in this game, it's demonized - even in the way North is hated for representing this side ("ah, she's always violent without any reason"). Ain't ironic how the "Violence/Anger" feelings represent the android side?

My dude Markus is also feeling completly lost cuz he's carrying not only androids on his shoulders but also...the fact he's worried about losing control and succumbing "to the so bad path and bad choices" himself.

He's worried about androids following him without thinking, like they're being machines following a new master even tho they're deviants. Does it ring any bells? xD

I know the game wanna print Markus as 100% peaceful pacifist, even he himself acts like he "fucked up" everytime he chooses a "violent" confrontation method - like telling the player "HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS. BAD CHOICE, BAD CHOICE".

But honestly?

He just don't wanna a big confrontation where both ends lose for real and his crew end sacrificed for nothing. If he needa be violent he gonna be violent, if he needa be lethal he gonna be lethal. Quit with the fucking "he would never do X thing".

There's a problem: the fucking cut human romantic interest. Something that would justify Markus always sacrificing the life of androids he "freed" - and this ain't positive at all. That shit is literally Markus using androids for his own gains (getting cool with humans for the sake of his love interest) as if they're just numbers, converted people in the religious sense. We already got Carl, something that enable mfs in thinking not all humans are the same, meaning sacrificing androids for public opinion being the best choice (most in-character) Markus would have.

Man, i dare sayin' it's almost like the game treats Markus "violence" and "anger" like being a total monster and his minions: a tyrant repressing humans - innocent humans together - and taking a city by force only cuz he will be letting his own emotions interfere on his rational side and he's a leader, he gotta be pacifist rational to make the best choices. If not he'll be becoming the same thing as the bad humans they're trynna not become: the ones that let anger and hatred speak.

But curiously letting his emotions speak would mean he's letting his android side, his shadow side, speak louder.

Does it ring any bells again? xD

It's so fucking stupid 💀 but unfortunately was a dilemma even in his og script. Markus was doomed by the narrative from the beginning.

RE: WIP Game

At first glance, "Chapter 40" sounds the most mysterious and I'd like to know more if I didn't know what it is but I know what it is so I don't want to know what "Chapter 40" is.

I also know what "The 100 – Bellarke – No Happy Ending, for it’s just beginning!" because I think you sent it to me for feedback a while ago.

And I don't really know much about the others so... Tell me what "Me and myself" is, please.

okay, first off: you are so German, listing all the things you don't wanna know about, I think I rub off on you :P

second, to your question:

'Me and Myself' is a little original I'm working on (or, you know… trying to) where i try to explain the relationship i have with my own brain, because apparently there are quite a few people in my surroundings that think that I am seriously mentally sick, just because I have a rather talkative head…

it looks a bit like this:

If you would need to have a description of her, you could picture Lexi as a house built from of my biggest fears, some stupid ideas as framing, the walls made out of fantasy bricks and glued together by self-harming paste and anger issues. The walls are painted in all colors, with the main target to have any two colors next to each other that are clashing the most. Self-worth and cutting? Definitely the living room! Hyperactive toddler and tired grandma? Heck, that looks great in the bedroom! The kitchen proudly wears the anger-and-peaceful wallpaper while the bathroom spots the happy-depressed combi. The floor is made of dumb comments and silly ideas, and the roof seals the whole stuff off with impulse-control. Well, it would seal it off, but the roof is nonexistent. Just like doors or windows. So, yeah, Lexi is like a house. A talking house. Living rent free in my head. Commenting one everything and anything that I do. Okay, that is a crappy analogy. Scratch that. But you get the gist of it, anyways. (Lexi just told me that she liked the analogy, because the thought of having a house inside my head looked fun.)

What makes you think Klaus and Caroline are soulmates? At least one thing that makes you look at them and say… “yess,this is the ship!”

Soulmates is a big word, anon. 🤣 I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I don't think that's a thing in the TVDu. I personally don't see any of them as soulmates. Love soulmates Aus, but thats not something I consider in terms of canon. But I still think they're the ship!

I think they bring out the best in each other. Literally, and in a very honest, non-romanticized way. People around Klaus either treats him like he's the beast of the apocalypse or like he's a manchild who needs to be handled with care, poor him. Caroline is one of very few people around him (Marcel being the other one, maybe) who seems to get that he's neither. She's extremely honest with him, holds him accountable for his BS, doesn't just excuse his behavior because his father was a monster, or his mother didn't love him, or he has too much man-pain to act rationally. And I think in doing so, she genuinely gets Klaus to act in a more conscious way. Which is not the same as thinking deep down he's a good person, or expecting him to change. It's just genuinely making him more aware of consequences.

It's why the only times he's ever genuinely merciful, forgiving and even selfless, it's for Caroline's sake (and Hope's, but that's kind of basic). When he lets Tyler go (all the 100 million times, even after he shows up in Nola ready to kill Hayley and the baby), when he regrets ("regrets") the way he impulsively murdered Carol, when he jeopardizes his plans to save her while he was in Tyler's body, when he helps Stefan at great personal risk. He's also weirdly respectful of Caroline's decisions in ways no one else is. The ball is constantly in her court, he never pushes further than she's willing to give, waits for her to make every move. For someone like Klaus, as impulsive, controlling and obsessive as him, that's a lot. No one else on that show is ever interested in what Caroline wants, what she needs. Not her friends, or her boyfriends.

And what I think Klaus does for Caroline, is that he brings forward sides of her we had never seen before. He gives Caroline a kind of agency she didn't have in her previous relationships, where she basically just molded herself to her boyfriends' needs (which happens again with Stefan to an extreme length). While everyone rolls their eyes at her and goes 'Oh, Caroline…', never truly taking her seriously, Klaus sees how strong and loyal she is, how capable, how smart. He admires how incredible she is as a vampire, how completely comfortable in her skin she is, while everyone around her is plagued by this stupid self-loathing that makes her feel as though she should be ashamed of being a vampire just because everyone else is. The fact Stefan becomes a human and seh stays a vampire when they marry is just ridiculous tbh. I think Klaus brings forth certain aspects of Caroline's aspects - someone who longs to see the world, who wants more than just a small life in Mystic Falls, who seeks adventure and wants to explore every aspect of her immortality, which I think that Silas moment really spells out - that were just READY to be explored on the show, if only they hadn't decided to push for that stupid relationship with Stefan that sent all of her development down the drain.

And he's just so soft for Caroline it's impossible to resist. He makes no mystery about how he just puts her first, how much he relishes every ounce of attention he gets from her, how he chases her like he didn't chase anyone else. He asks her out on a date, for God's sake. lol I mean, more than once, technically.

So, basically, Klaus valued her in ways no one else did because he genuinely appreciated her exactly as she was, while Caroline's unflinching honesty made Klaus more self-aware and conscientious. Caroline sees the very worst of Klaus, but she also gets to see the very best.

As a viewer, I loved Klaroline right from the start because I liked Caroline and thought she was very unfairly judged by the rest of the characters on the show, so when someone showed up who seemed to see her exactly as I did, I was ready to jump in. There's a lot of denial there, a lit hypocrisy too, but that all gets slowly unraveled, and it adds to how complex their dynamic is, which is something I personally enjoy a lot. It's not just 'and they fell in love because yes, the end' which we get to see repeated over and over on the show, when we're told two characters like each other, but there's really nothing there to back that up. Their chemistry is instantaneous, but it's not just that. There's so much to be explored, and I think the show was very clearly building up to something great (the slow burn was really well done there).

IN CONCLUSION. I love them because they are perfect and no other ship in the TVDu compares. Sorry, I make the rules. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. 🤣

By the way, do whatever cringey shit it takes to cope in the healthiest way possible and make decisions in your best interest.

Like this body has a horrendous oral fixation, and Aderis and myself have really bad impulse control when we are stressed + an really strong drive to use substances which our body has actually managed to very well dodge solely because we have obsessive, control freak, super stressed and anxious parts for better or worse. It's something I used to hate the fuck out of and think was excessive but thinking on it, its definitely a good idea cause we have 0 resistance against any form of addiction and very easily develop psychological dependence on things that aren't even chemically addictive, so like 100% if we were to dip our toes into that, it could easily be an avalanche

Even said, specifically for me, the urge to start smoking is stupid hard to deal with a lot of the time between my very very very intense oral fixation, my impulsive short sighted "funny and aesthetic" brain, and the fact I'm a mentally ill traumatized bitch and like, ever since I've been back and aware of myself I've been like "I REALLY want to smoke" and everyone in the system being like "NO." and then them chucking me a different chew toy to help redirect that urge and energy

But at a certain point our crackhead child (little, nickname) grabbed a tooth pick to chew on or something I forget, and my brain fucking clicked that it very deeply itched the exact need and feeling my brain needed almost perfectly without actually having the chemical shit. And a lot of the time when I'm chewing on one, I'll unintentionally and without thinking of it, handle it like a cig because my brain just substitutes the psychological itch.

My "predecesor" in the system (aka Aderis) had a similar issue with drinking and while mine came more intuitively, but she figured out in early middle school that since we had no access to alcohol and "would die" if we tried, she just pretended Dr Pepper cans and bottles were booze and told herself it was a depressant that numbed and calmed shit down. To this day, Dr Pepper post-breakdown mostly actually mellows us out and lowers anxiety which is wild since Dr Pepper has caffeine which is supposed to do the opposite

And yeah, is it cringe for someone to act as if a tooth pick is a cigarette? Yeah, is it cringe for someone to act and treat Dr. Pepper like its alcohol? Yeah. But is it better to be "not cringe" or cringe and not slipping down a really unhealthy slope?

Not saying its bad to have picked up the habits or to have substance use issues - god no. That shits complicated, rough, and honestly - if it wasn't for the fact that the system has done an amazing job keeping the body clean - probably would use them myself.

But like, main point is that fucking like. Be cringe if that helps you live a healthier life and / or a life closer to what you want.

People can call me a cringe edgelord wanna be for how I handle my toothpicks, cause I really don't care about 1) being an edgelord beyond the meme and 2) don't really care what people say about that cause I do this cause it makes me feel good and helps me think and process shit better and I'd rather have a psychological dependence to toothpicks than I would to tobacco and nicotine. If someone has an issue with that, thats their problem.

#alter: xiv #substance abuse tw #substances tw #coping #idk just something I'm thinking about cause of shit I was talking to our fiance about #he was like ‟dude XD stop using the toothpick like a cigarette‟ and I was like ‟... huh #I guess I am lol #gonna keep doing it but interesting

Phantomhive Siblings I

I am a 100% believer in the fact if O!Ciel had his twin and like a younger sibling, he would be the tired older brother (despite being the younger twin, lmao). Literally the premise of how Orwell Chess started btw (O!Ciel is Luciel while R!Ciel is yk Ciel).

Ciel is a piece of work—spoiled and slightly reckless. It’s Luciel that has to be the calmer one (mainly b/c he can’t keep up physically), the brain (but not the moral compass—there’s no such thing in the family).

Both of them are nasty manipulators, true, but Luciel has several more exceptions, particularly to family and close friends. Ciel has no such qualms, not b/c he has no consciousness but because no one but him knows best.

So, when Celaena starts bringing/adopting her friends into the family, it’s Ciel, who handles the legalities. He’s the one who fights against Theodore Nott’s horrible father, against Sirius Black (b/c let’s be honest Black has no impulse control—he should not be allowed to raise children, he’s welcome to visit), etc.

Luciel, on the other hand, provides solid support. He’s the one who wanted to be a bloody toymaker—the stupid cult ruined this child. He’s the one that Celaena goes to mutter her troubles, that Nott asks to heal when Celaena cannot, that Harry goes for older brother advice, that Hermione can speak with in the nitty-gritty technicalities of magic with.

Strangely enough, Ron goes to Ciel—the two have their family moment as Ciel never pulls his punches with Ron. He’s blunt, condescending, but brutally honest. Ron Weasley is Ron Weasley, a Slytherin, a chess master, the ruthless best friend—not the second youngest in the Weasley family. Funnily enough, Ron is Ciel’s favorite after Celaena (although, she doubts that sometimes).

It’s 100% performative and ramps up when things are easily explained they don’t want explained. Aka - the jacket. Like I could write the script - “Where is Joe? He’s never around. He never supports her. It’s her big night and he would rather stay home with her cats than go to the Grammys or her party. She doesn’t want him there. It’s fake because how do all the pictures get out from her party and he’s not in a single one. Tree is putting out fake stories again. The man in the black tshirt could be anyone, he wasn’t there. They just want people to think he was there so she brought his jacket. She was flirting with Benito/Harry/Kelsea/Fletcher/Katie Gavin so she must not care what Joe thinks.” And that’s the G rated commentary. Like they know the answer to these questions.

It’s exhausting. I know as a fan of both (more Joe than Taylor) I want them to shut it down with a hint of something just to shut them all up but I know they don’t care (although Tree’s statement makes me think they care a little at least when it came to Harry) and it wouldn’t help because then it would be “damage control.” And not to get all coincidence or conspiracy, I also wonder if Joe’s photo dump a week before the Grammys wasn’t a slightly pre-planned thing knowing he would be nowhere to be seen the following week so it’s like here’s Meredith! Still together!

Yeah idk, I try not to be too cynical about these things. For the most part I think they genuinely don’t care and that Joe posting Meredith is just him posting a cute pic of their cat because y’know, she’s a cute cat. But obviously the articles with Tree-sourced intel exist for a reason. They’re saying “the status quo is still the status quo, nothing to see here please leave us alone”. But it’s a fine line to walk since they don’t want to invite us into their relationship any more than they have already.

We also have to take into account that while it would be great to see Them™️ lose, that’s largely motivated by us feeling superior in an almost chart-swiftie kind of way. Wanting to “win” or whatever. I agree with you, but I also try to be self aware and identify where that impulse comes from. Like, is it for Taylor & Joe’s sake that I want them to post something? Or is it for ours? So we can win whatever stupid fan war we’re fighting?
