#and the guy i like was like 'lol seriously dude 'females'

[nereidprinc3ss]

Jokes and being 'horny on main' aside I find it so fascinating how many women are drawn to both Spencer Reid and MGG. Like he's not classically handsome, in the way most macho Hollywood men are. He's softer, more poetic looking and his personality is also very unique. I think he feels safe (from what we know anyways), and there's something to be said for why women (especially younger women) go nuts for this kind of smart, goofy, caring guy who is truly weird (more so MGG than Spencer). Yet you'll still have incels on Reddit/Twitter parading the toxic alpha male shit to impressionable men and creating this vicious cycle. There was actually an interesting class I took on Romance novels and how because they're sort of an unexplored medium that hasn't been taken seriously in the cultural zeitgeist until recently it's been able to develop into a safe space for women, written by women. A lot of men call them unrealistic and yes they can lean trope-y and drama-esque but also at their core its about women reading about men that are good communicators, with decent personalities and hygiene

idk WHY he is the most visually appealing man I’ve ever seen, and idk why he has this crazy staying power for me—like normally my celebrity crushes are crazy intense for a few months and then they just disappear one day, but me and matthew are approaching our year anniversary and i see no signs of stopping lol!!

i think personality does have a lot to do with it. mgg is genuinely a weirdo like he’s a weird dude with a lot of heart and he seems really passionate about the things he does. men who care about something outside of themselves, and don’t take themselves too seriously, do tend to make me feel safer. i can’t speak for other women and obviously we don’t know him in real life but if he’s secretly an asshole he does a fantastic job of hiding it!! his sense of humor requires a kind of self awareness and awareness of other people that we don’t usually expect from famous men, and the way he speaks about and interacts w his female friends/coworkers is really amazing too.

idk, obviously we don’t actually know him and i try very much not to idolize people (especially men) who i don’t know. but he’s so funny and seems like an actually kind person who lacks some of the hangups that other male celebrities have and that make them repellant to me

also men saying romance novels are “unrealistic” need to give me a fucking break. women know that the men they read about in romance novels aren’t realistic representations of men in real life but men don’t seem to understand that porn is a fucking joke and not a realistic representation of real women. yet they hold us to those ludicrous standards all the time. until they start thinking about the porn they watch as a complete MADE UP FANTASY the way women think about romance novels i really do not want to hear it from them lmfaooo

especially when our fantasy is being treated respectfully by a good man and their fantasies include anti gravity boobs and removed ribs and viewing women as objects made for their pleasure

can you tell im mad about this…

anyway thank you for sharing your thoughts!! i completely agree<3

[fangswbenefits]

Rant ahead:

I am so tired of men treating women like this when it comes to them being attracted to a FICTIONAL man. And, of course, just like in the old days, they resort to using derogatory terms like "psychosis of the average woman" (do they even know what psychosis means lol), which is just the updated version of "female hysteria" that was so commonly thrown around as a legit medical diagnosis.

You don't have to like the character. You can call him wtv the fuck you want. Astarion isn't real. But the women in these spaces are. Even if you disagree with their perspective, don't be that dude who is so blatantly misogynistic.

Also, of course we are once again dealing with those who keep mixing fiction with real life and "women just love Astarion and in real life they like men like him too" as if we are all the same and too "dumb" to see through an obvious facade.

The whole "You are being emotionally manipulated by a fictional character"??? Do you guys even hear yourselves??? Astarion was written by real people. He was brought to life by a trauma survivor, so you are basically implying that those who were involved in creating him are manipulating women in real life.... like gtfo.... seriously.

THIS IS FICTION! A GAME!

If you are still doing the Fem mc can you do a one with Floyd or Idia

Floyd is forever A tier man. Also I have been thinking of being a bit more self-indulged with these fem mc and friends asks since they did begin as self-indulgant fics for my oc lol. I find myself being able to write more creatively - trying to have a fem mc that everyone could insert themselves in or see any kind of interesting changes in is hard because frankly, the only thing about such a blank slate is that they are female.

while my own OC is also female and that does play a part in the little shenanignags, I also add a bit of her own personality and thoughts to make it a bit different (and as i said self-indulgent)

Plus, I honestly really struggled and disliked the riddle one, where I tried to not put any characteristics of my oc in there to make it more 'appealing' for anyone. But I found this just doesn not work for me.

I will do this one request with my OC in mind if that is okay!

Fem!Mc And Friends - Floyd Leech

Everyone, run! Before you get squeezed.

Floyd Leech is a weird combination of predictable and unpredictable. It can be expected to be looked down upon, threatened, challenged and squeezed by Floyd, yet when it comes to whatever he decides to stick with and spend his time on, he is a wild card.

Unfortunately, you are one of the many things he has decided to spend his time with. The little, jumpy 'Shrimpy' he came across.

And while he seems to stick to others and 'affectionately' refer to everyone with ocean-related names, he still seems...especially attached to you...

When You Spend Helloween Together...

Why would you spend Helloween with him? Are you crazy?

This is probably Floyd's favorite holiday on land. Dressing up as scary things (aside from himself) with the intention to terrify the crap out of anyone who crosses him? And he can get away with it? Who cares about some treats when he can carry out some tricks?

Even if you try to stay far, faaaar away from him Floyd will be sure to find you~

Where's Shrimpy, Shrimpy, Shrimpy~? Oh, are you dressed up, too? That's cute. You think you're gonna scare anyone with that?

Nothing scares Floyd and he still has the same kind of opinion of you since day 1. A meek, tiny shrimp. So he doesn't think you could pull any tricks anyway.

On top of that you are magicless and just a little girl in his eyes. Sounds mean but try as you might, he will never acknowledge you as 'bigger' or 'taller' even if you are.

Will first show off his costume (isn't it neat?) And threaten to terrify you right after (there's enough bandages to bind you down into a coffin).

Floyd always and I mean ALWAYS loves to mess with you but on this special day he feels like going all out. Scaring you, popping out of nowhere, acting like a real Zombie and like a bite from him could kill you??? You tell him off but he also acts like he believes what he says???

You may be a lot of things but no Zombie.

Hehe, you sure? Wanna try it out :) ?

He especially likes to tease you with his nickname for you. There's just something about it when you startle and jump up like these cats on land while he spooks you :) why can't Helloween be everyday?

Also your scared expression are just *chef kiss* to him. Will try every trick in the book to just...indulge in these shrieks and screams of fear.

And when he finds out you have a fear? Scared of the dark, spiders, thunder or oooohh zombies? Hehe, you're never getting rid of hiiiiimmm, Shrimpyyyyy!

Floyd would especially love it if you let out girly yelps or shrieks. He is surrounded by dudes in NRC so someone really girly is just interesting and more fun to tease.

Stuck in a haunted house with Floyd? Haha, help. Seriously, call for help!

Floyd is not stuck in a haunted house - the haunted house is stuck with Floyd. And you are right in the middle.

It feels like each scare and trick is being terrified into submission by him. The guy gets quickly bored out of his mind that he decides to spook the entire house. But besides that, he sticks with you and loves watching your reactions.

You will wish for the protection of Malleus and Deuce, because Floyd will not lift a finger to help or comfort you. He'll hang over your shoulder with that stupid, gleeful grin on his face (and the fangs near your flesh!) And laugh at your misery.

:(

But I feel like if something truly awful were to happen to you - maybe someone took a trick too far or made you cry - Flyod maaaaybe could become scary to everyone but you. Huh? Hey, you cannot terrify his Shrimpy that much. That's his job. Look what'chu did. Better get out of his sight.

When You Watch Him At His Club...

Oh boy. You can expect a lot "Hey, Shrimpy! Hey, hey! Over here, Shrimpy! Shrimpy, over here!"

He most likely threatened invited you to his basketball Club, no matter if there was a game or practice session.

It isnt thaaaat bad...Ace and Jamil are there too and they are miles more mellow than Floyd is if you ever need someone like that.

Ace will be a bit confused on why Floyd would invite you while Jamil is just hoping the guy will actively play for once in one go. Not when he feels like it.

Yet when you arrived, there Floyd was, taking you into his arms so tight you were lifted off the ground and squeezed so hard you thought you couldnt breathe.

Floyd is so happy to see you! Did Shrimpy come just for him and watch him play? Huh, did'chu, did'chu?

Also he would still hug you if he was covered in sweat and would not care. It'd be even funny if you were grossed out by it.

However...against all odds, Floyd would actually play - and go all out!

Even if it were practice, he is brutal. After each shot, he'd spin into your direction with arms shot up. A huge grin on his face. He's expecting you to watch him and only him.

Though if your attention is somewhere else, he'd pout and tell you to watch him! Look how much he's destroying the others!

In fact, you're supposed to cheer for him! Be Floyd's 'cheerleader' as he says. There's bunch of games where there's a girl cheerleader team that hypes up the audience and players! Do that for him! You got no choice if you don't wanna get on his bad side

Ah, should he get you one of these 'pom-poms'? You'd be so cute with them!

It just feels kind of special when the only girl in NRC is cheering for him. It's like in one of these movies!

Say a cheer that just consists of his name. Just that! Don't mention anyone else!

If you do pay attention or cheer for someone else, Floyd will not like it. Observing the other player like a hawk and leering at them with his classic 'huuuuh'? Even if they are on the same team.

Will do his best to kind of get your attention back on him. That can go from fouling the other player to telling you in your face to watch him. Him.

It can cost them the victory but Floyd wouldn't care. The sole reason why he even decided to come is because he dragged you here.

Ace is weirded out and Jamil's trying not to fume in anger.

When You Are Stranded On An Island...

Well. This isn't anything...novel for Floyd.

He IS from the ocean so a beach isn't something that would surprise or unnerve him. The sight of sand, the ocean, palm trees and the lovely sunlight...is rather boring to him.

Islands like this exist everywhere. Why should this one be any different?

Well, you are here for once.

And so are people like Crabby and Goldfish! This is sure to be fun!

Floyd will drag you to every place he finds interesting. Beaches are familiar to him so he can show and teach you anything! He's an expert in a way!

Collecting things is actually a dull activity to him. If you show any interest, he will just...drag you off. Maybe haul you around. If you say they are meant ad souvenirs, he still wouldn't budge and tell you these are boring trinkets instead. He knows much better stuff, come on!

His favorite thing to do is swimming for sure! Expect to be thrown into the sea and him quickly following after you. It doesnt matter what you are wearing, he will force you to swim with him.

Floyd will turn into his eel form and just drag you further and further into the seaaaaa~

Ace is getting worried and Riddle is screaming at him to return at once! You are supposed to find a way back to NRC!

It's kinda akin to a horror movie.

And since you two are so far out, you'll have no choice but to cling to him~!

Don't worry though, as much as Floyd teases and messes with you, he will never put you in any harm. He knows the sea better than anyone else.

He just likes having your arms around him and vice versa!

Floyd especially likes it when you're just a taaaaad biiiit scared and cling to him as if you'd never let go. It's just twice the fun and extra cute.

But hey, if you are already out here, why not explore a bit? He can hold you as you dive into the deep blue and catch some fish or anemona, spook some crabs or get some souvenirs from there! Anything down there is way better than on some beach!

You could be like a mermaid then! Don't you wanna try it?

Just act like your legs are fins and maybe let your hair open - oh, ya don't want to?

Meh, fine.

On another point, Floyd is not used to wear these vacation...swim...beach wear or whatever. But he guesses it's neat. Especially the sunglasses.

He would really like it if you wore ocean-related clothes or things. It just looks good on you.

Swimwear or bikini though? It's interesting wear but also...intriguing?

He's never seen something like that, the closest thing he knows are from mermaids. But well, they are half fish.

But on you...it looks good. Floyd would stare at you. Not shamelessly but more so out of curiousity. Shrimps don't usually look like that, you know?

Just wants to have fun with you.

Can I request Nsfw C, K, and W for Che’nya and Neige Leblanche?

🍓I didn't even think about side characters getting requests. But they did! This is my last one before I have to do full lists. Very exciting but also very stressful! Now, a little warning, this will be my last post (maybe) this week due to classes picking up and general life stressors.

Che'nya

C - Cum: Che'nya's cum is thick and there is A LOT of it. It's almost ever ending. It's worse when he's in his "heat" (I'll get into this later), cause he produces more in response to the whole "mating season". His favorite place to see it on you is your face, though. You look positively delicious marked by his cum.

K - Kink: He's very much a watch and get off kinda guy. He likes catching you masturbating and then joining in with you, and then eventually it escalates into actual sex. He's also very much a touches you in public and enjoys watching you squirm and stutter to explain your behavior kinda dude as well. He is a known tease after all.

W - Wild Card: So, I'm getting into the heat thing. This isn't gonna be hot, I'm spitting cat facts at you lol. Anyway, male cats don't have heat, but they have reactions to female cat heat during "mating season" therefore exhibiting traits typical of heat. So, in his case, he sorta just reacts to the menstrual cycles going on around him. If you don't have a menstrual cycle, then he pretty much just goes off vibes and has a general guestimation of when you become most horny and eventually falls into a natural rhythm.

Neige

C - Cum: Neige's cum is pretty? Idk how else to describe it, it's just a nice pretty pearly consistency and it tastes pretty yummy thanks to his diet. He's far too shy to cum on your face or anything, but he likes it when you show it to him on your tongue before you swallow it. It makes him blush, but also makes him feel like he's satisfying you as much as you are him.

K - Kink: Neige does not have many kinks -- if any. Maybe pegging, but that's really it. He gets too nervous and embarrassed by anything more intense than the basic stuff. He might be willing to try a quickey or two in his dressing room, though. If you'd let him.

W - Wild Card: Neige is SENSITIVE to the touch. Like seriously, even if you gently graze his crotch he's shivering in delight at the feeling. It doesn't matter how many times you've had sex with the guy, he is just endlessly sensitive and there is nothing you can do to stop him from trembling at the lightest touch.

Group one

I feel like you all are struggling financially or dealing with some sort of insecurity in terms of your stability. I think this is a phase you're going through in a way, and from a spiritual perspective it seems like you all are learning something or many things from this somehow. And it's coming out really positive here actually. It seems like you're all on a spiritual journey and this is a part of that. One thing, it seems like if you had the money aspect of life figured out as of now, you wouldn't grow as much as a person. It seems like a few of you here are needing to know and or realize something about how money works when it comes to maybe the economy or just other people. Maybe you're meant to end up helping other people in regards to money. It also seems like for a lot of you, somehow , you wouldn't meet the people you're supposed to if you weren't on this path. I think you all are definitely gonna be alright no matter what and that spirit won't let you fall if that makes sense. I'm really picking up on that you all should embrace the rawness of not having or needing much at all and to let that help you grow and shine as a person. Soul speaks louder than say fancy clothes or anything. If any of you are worried about food specifically there are definitely places and people around that would help you out if the situation is that severe especially if you're in America ok. I'm really feeling that they just want you all to sort of relax, especially at night. Just appreciate the moment. A person could have nothing to their name and nowhere to go, but they still have stars to look at every night.

Group two

You guys are definitely going somewhere, or something is happening. I'm really getting something about the word destination. It seems like whatever is going on with or around you might have some more negative side effects. I'm kind of thinking about turbulence, like when you're in a plane and it starts shaking. And you all might be a bit sad or something. I heard on edge. I saw one of your guys fish tank very cool. So it seems like spirit wants you all to find some form of peace somewhere somehow in some way. Maybe meditation. I feel almost frustrated like, you may be past this and trying your best and don't know about anything that might help or even what you really need. One thing, I see if you go outside or to a store or stores and possibly talk to strangers there, or for some of you someone who is stable minded or you get along with conversationally.. and also just being outside would help. Sitting in the grass. Also getting good sleep and doing everything you can to feel mellow before bed time. I'm seeing you may need to have patience with either yourself or a individually for most of you I'm getting they're female if that's the case. If someone in your life is trying to bribe you or something like that, I would say stick to your morals and stand very strong and be punk about who you are. F em . Seriously. But it's your decision to make. I just feel like this person kinda sucks for that. Like that's manipulation. And why hold out on giving someone something if u can just to bribe them or whatever it is. Not cool if you ask me. I think spirit wants you to just make whatever decision makes you feel the most empowered. But don't screw yourself over if possible. I don't know.

Group three

I'm already picking up on a fence so some of you either live in the suburbs, have , or will, or want to I suppose. Or someone here there's a dude in your life that wants to. You guys either wants to, are, or are being encouraged to do something out of the norm in a way. Maybe leaving and going somewhere new. Maybe doing something new. Are you serious sorry everyone one of you is younger trying to stain a store for fun lol I will not say anything more about that but it's funny. Go for big corps capitalism is evil anyway. Regardless. Sorry. One of you has a dog they're encouraging you to not do some type of idk if it's surgery or something that could possibly be cruel or just you don't know if you want to do it it could even just be a shock collar I know I never liked those. But yeah don't do it whatever it is. If you know someone is abusing an animal then do something /say something about it please . So yeah one of you is going to be or is at a place where there is a older fence I think right, and when you leave you should be careful. Just cautious Incase anything might happen. If a dog is barking a lot that's a sign. If there is a kid playing with a hose by a fence for one of you I saw that I don't know why but it might be sort of like deja Vu, as in that moment is just significant somehow and maybe we don't get to know why. One of us I'm ngl you're under threat of being initiated into some bad group you really don't want to get involved with so lay low and if you're a loner keep being a loner for a while there's nothing wrong with that. Someone has a mom she's older I think she is latina or something but I'm not sure. hug her and mean it the next time you see her it will mean a lot.

Group four

(could be other pets. I'm now picking up on a bird. General message a pet is trying to communicate something to you.) So y'all have dogs. This is the dog lover group. Oddly a lot about dogs in this whole reading for everyone but y'all have a pet dog I think the relationships y'all all have are super cute and sweet. Ok so someone here you go to school you love to come home and chill with and see your dog right I heard sweetheart maybe that's just how your dog is or you call someone that or someone calls someone that I have no clue just heard the word ok. Basically though about the person that goes to school your dog wishes to tell you that something is going on when you're gone and it's not good and I'm not sure what it is but you ought to get to the bottom of it . I'm mainly feeling neighbor maybe it's a roommate I don't really know what's going on I think you have to find a way to find out or just take steps to protect your dog. If they don't like loud noises if that's the case someone has a neighbor that makes loud noises this could be a different person, and your dog doesn't like it. I'm getting construction stuff. I would hope there's some type of thing you can get to cover their ears maybe??, I don't know..

If someone's dog has been acting weird like unruly in any way they're also trying to tell you something ,reminds me of so many movies like say a movie a pet is acting out and the owner is like dang it stop and the whole time the pet is like no dude your girlfriend is evil. I don't know. Just pay better attention I suppose.

If you're dog is more than usually lately having problems regarding a door in your house front back whatever. You might want to invest in some security for the door.

If you don't have any pets and you read this far it's either another pet you should pay attention to their behavior or most likely you should uhh think about getting a new pet 🥲or you'll find a stray or something. Dude keep it. That's like, destiny. Peace.

Eavesdrop!

"... weirdest fucking human last night."

"Yeah?"

"So I'm just working, right, but I'm a bit hungry and haven't hunted yet so I go down the street, right, and there's this group of people coming out of this karaoke club. This one human's fiddling with her bag and lets the others go ahead so I'm like, okay, great, I have lunch now. But you know, it's always risky to approach the ones that present as female because -- "

"Yeah, I know, if you breathe on the other side of the road they'll know about it. I usually go for men for the same reason, they think they're safe. In most places anyway, ever tried hunting in the East End in the '60s? Even the men were super jumpy because they were always shanking each other."

"Dude, weren't you Embraced in 1974?"

"Yeah, but my sire told me stories. I was one of those jumpy humans. You could barely set foot outside your door after dark without getting mugged. I wore a turban back then though, so I didn't get bothered much, only by the idiots who didn't know what a kirpan was."

"Anyway. So she sees me approaching, right, and she's on her guard and I'm like, don't worry dude, I'm just a hungry vampire."

"Sullivan. The fuck?"

"It's this thing Evie started doing to fuck with the kine, just to see what they say. She only ever does it around me so I can sigh loudly and Dominate them into forgetting about it afterwards but uh, I also started doing it sometimes just for the lols."

"For the what?"

"Evie says that too, it means for one's own amusement. Can't you actually use a smartphone? How do you not know what that means? You've never been on social media?"

"Weren't you lecturing me about 'spiritual self harm' last week?"

"Shut the fuck up. So anyway, she plays along. A lot of them do. Asks to see my fangs. I show her. Asks me what fucking clan I am."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, she's played fucking Bloodlines. Matthew Dawkins has a lot to answer for, no wonder he's on that fucking Red List."

"Isn't that the alter ego of -- "

"Yeah, that guy. No wonder nobody's been able to bump him off yet. You try telling a Methuselah he can't just fucking violate the Masquerade like that by making a literal fucking game out of it."

"He didn't make it, he just -- "

"No, no, he did, Matthew Dawkins is just his latest cover."

"Oh! Right, I forgot. Feels like it only came out and made the Camarilla shit themselves like... six months ago."

"Bram Stoker, eat your fucking heart out. Anyway the human's pretty excited about how good my 'Lasombra cosplay' is because I'm all in black and the shadows are spooky and shit so I'm like, thinking, right. I'm behind my monthly quota and you know what Amicia's like when I don't hit it."

"So is this, like, the monthly-monthly quota or the monthly quota where she sneakily tries to bump it up, you call her out on her shit, and she brings it back down and doesn't give a fuck you didn't actually hit it so long as you hit the normal one?"

"Oh, it's the former."

"Oh, so you must be in a lot of trouble, then."

"Yeah, so like, I'm still hungry but I've got this human eating out of the palm of my hand and I still need some blood bags. She's not as jumpy now that she knows I'm a cosplaying weirdo instead of a sexual predator weirdo, but I still gotta lure her into the van."

"Yeah, I noticed the graffiti -- "

"Yeah, that wasn't Evie this time, I woke up and it was there. So anyway I decide fuck it, may as well go the whole nine yards, so I'm like 'hey can I steal your blood.'"

"How'd she take that?"

"She corrected me and said it's not stealing if I have her consent. So I'm like, okay, so do I have your consent to steal your blood? And she's like. No. that's not -- actually never mind, how are you going to take it? And I'm like well I have this whole set up in this van here. And she's like the one with 'free candy' written on the side? and I'm like. yeah. the one with 'free candy' written on the side. the kids these days think they're so funny."

"How many times has Evie -- "

"Eighteen, but nine of them were actually hallucinations because she was too lazy to get some more spraypaint so I don't think it counts. But like I said it wasn't Evie this time. So anyway, that graffiti ended up saving my ass here because I'm sure she'd have run screaming if it was a normal creepy van but because someone 'lampshaded the creepiness,' as she said, she hung around instead. I showed her my setup. She was like 'cool, sure, go ahead.'"

"She wasn't worried you'd chloroform her after?"

"Pretty sure she was going along with this for the lols. She seemed to think I was harmless. Or at least, she gave off the impression she did. To be honest it might've been a fawn response, but yeah, I had her in the van hooked up and giving blood. She tried to tell me off for not sanitising her arm but I just Dominated her into thinking I'd done it so no harm done. So yeah, got the blood, Dominated her into forgetting it and sent her on her way. Wish they were all as cooperative as that! I'd be way fucking less traumatised."

A snort. "Did you at least give her a cookie? The humans do that."

"She asked if I had any. I said no, I only have chewable iron tablets."

"You give the humans iron tablets when you're done?"

"No, but Jane has a stock for when I'm out in rural bumfuck nowhere and need to feed off her exclusively for a while. Anyway. Now there's a weirdass human who's got a bottle of chewable iron tablets in her bag and she has no idea how it got there. I think Evie would be proud."

"So you do give out free candy, huh?"

"Nah, she paid for it in blood."

"Yeah, that's... yeah that's true. Damn, and I thought I was being so witty."

"Har har har. Fucking smartarse Ravnos."

Want to know more? Well, if you're not 18+, absolutely not. Seriously. Go away, stay away from this game, and get away from my page; however, if you ARE over 18, let's get into it!

So...this is a short but pretty wild game.

Like I mentioned above, because I feel like the content is pretty intense, I'm not going to spill every single tiny detail about the game; however, I will be telling you the "important" story details and the ending. Also, this is another short visual novel so, as expected, the review will be shorter as well. Then again, because I'm actually telling you the ending this time around, it might be just as long. Who knows. Either way, it's just a couple of heads up before we get too far into this thing.

Now that that's out the way, the game was good but it wasn't like "This is top tier gameplay!". It was pretty decent and overall just...the best way I can describe it is simply an experience. There wasn't much choice involved in the game, if you'd even count it as a choice. The one choice is primarily for consent or lack of, but it ultimately ends the same and there's no pleasing this Ciel guy.

Don't throw any tomatoes though! While the game isn't the best, I think it's still worth a casual playthrough, but I'll get more into that at the end. For now, let me tell you more about this visual novel, and how shit hits the fan.

So, boom.

We're a university student, and if you have either been to university or are currently in university, you might have had that experience where that one class (or even multiple classes) was kicking your ass in the most disrespectful way, and it wasn't as easy as dropping it. Why? Because it was a prerequisite, and you literally couldn't go on with the classes for your major unless you passed that particular class. That's what we're going through in this story, but it's literally not even our fault. Let me explain. Oh, but first, I should probably introduce this -- very...very rich -- asshat.

Everyone this is Ciel. Ciel probably doesn't care, so I'm not going to bother introducing you guys to him. Trust me, it's for the best. Okay, NOW let me explain, but first, let's set the scene for a flashback:

By the way, this is deadass a screenshot because it was deadass a flashback. Like, I'm not being overly cinematic/dramatic this time lol.

Anyways, so yeah, we're a university student, and we have a class that we're struggling with. The reason why this is isn't because we aren't grasping the content nor is it because we aren't doing what we're supposed to do, it is quite literally because of Ciel. The crazy part is, he isn't even the damned professor, he's the TA -- a cold, hateful, conceited TA. Even crazier? No one else would believe that description except us. Why? Because if everyone doesn't have a crush on him and is trying to smash, they don't have a crush on him but still think that he's a pretty decent dude with some decent humanness that doesn't make people hate him. Fantastic.

Ending my ranting, though, basically we're doing so poorly that he does the "teacherly" thing and is pretty much like "Lol you're failing". Upon hearing this, we're just like "Yeah, no shit", but we don't dare say anything like that to him because, well, for one, he makes our life hell enough without back-talking him, and for B, we ain't done with this class. This jerk can, would, and will drop our grade if we piss him off. Just like we're for 1000% sure that he graded us harder on a particular exam than the other students -- he always does, but like, come on. An exam? University students, y'all know how heavy those exam scores can be and how much that can absolutely kill your grade.

Again! Lol ending my ranting, we just kind've go "Yeah, I'm aware", and he's like "If you don't get help, you're going to fail". Once again, no shit, but we're like "Yes, I'm aware", and you know what he does? He offers -- well, more accurately demands that we take -- his services. At first, we're like "Hell no" but he's literally like "I'm not asking to tutor you, I'm telling you that I'm tutoring you", and it just sucks. It sucks because he's already really shitty to us two times a week for 90 minutes at a time, 180 minutes total, which is literally over 2 hours of making us depressed enough to dread Tuesdays and Thursdays as a whole, but now he wants to add more time on top of it. Fuck, man...

Like I said though, we didn't really have a choice. He pretty much told us that either we accept his help, or he'll deadass just fail us because "we don't care about our grades". Like what? And sure, we could just go to the actual professor, but what if they didn't do anything? Exactly. It would literally make things worse, and that wasn't paranoia or fear -- that was real life what would happen if we tried to snitch or go over him.

So, we begrudgingly accept the offer, and...it actually helped, I can't even lie. It inadvertently made us do better in the other courses as well, so he may have not been bluffing when he said that he was the only one qualified to give us the help that we needed for that course. Not to mention, he actually started being a little nicer to us! No, stop, don't get too hopeful. This guy is still the literal worse. Just let me keep explaining, but now we have to go back to the present.

The semester is over. We're going to be free from the stress of school and Ciel for the next 2 months and a half, and we have a bomb ass summer job waiting for us that we might consider working for in place of going to school -- yes, the pay is that damned good. We can't bask in the glory for long, though, because guess who comes along? Ciel's ass.

To make a long story short, he shares the news that we passed and he's adamant that he wants to take us out to this really fancy restaurant. That being said, we weren't going to pass up a free meal that we'd never be able to afford, like ever, so we accept the offer, and that, my friends, was where we fucked up. Allow me some more time to explain.

Ciel -- or rather his chauffer -- takes us back to our place, and even though we're like "Yo, you really don't have to come to my apartment. Better yet, I don't want you in my apartment", he's like "Yet you don't know what to wear, do you?" ...shit. He got our ass there. While, yes, we do have an inkling about what we're supposed to wear and have a decent selection to choose from, we might not have the right "fancy" clothes, and we run the risk of going underdressed. So, again, we begrudgingly agree to what he wants to do, and he's in our apartment. Our safe place. Great.

So, he's up in here, and we're basically playing runway model with Ciel, except instead of being in awe, he's being this judgmental prick. Finally, he gets to a point where he's fed up, and he just comes barreling into our closet. Whoa.

Naturally, we're like "Um..excuse you? I'm changing? What if I was naked?" and he just says "I wish you were". Wait what...

"Huh?"

"I said I wish you were, and now, I'm gonna kiss you."

Oh. He's bold, bold. Gotcha. So, now there's some obvious sexual tension, but this is where shit goes very, very left.

So, as you can see above, we have two options: Either we can fall into the whole enemies to lovers trope and let him hit it or we can tell him to piss off...and he still hits it, but without consent.

Yeah, that's...that's what those choices are. Either we can pick the consensual route or the nonconsensual. It's pretty obvious which is which.

[ T R I G G E R W A R N I N G~*START*~T R I G G E R W A R N I N G ]

Should you be like me, and you're a person that picks all options and combinations to see what ending you get, the nonconsensual route isn't nearly as explicit as the consensual route about what he actually does while he's raping us, but it does get pretty descriptive about how we feel as it's happening, and it can definitely be triggering. It's a relatively quick portion, but not so much if you're sensitive to that kind of stuff, so definitely be careful and keep that in mind if you decide to play. You can definitely avoid that part altogether should you choose to play anyways, and it doesn't really change the end. It's a same scenario, different wording type deal.

[ T R I G G E R W A R N I N G~*E N D*~T R I G G E R W A R N I N G ]

That being said! As for the other route, that's clearly a lot more pleasant (at least to an obvious extent), it's way more descriptive about what he actually does to us, but it's 1000% consensual. Okay, now for where it all comes to a head and both of these routes combine into the same ending!

So...yeah, the deed is done, and now Ciel is like "Okay, pack up your shit", and it's like "...Huh?". Basically, this man has scoped us out since day 1, and like, he is making us his wife. Of course, we're like "Uh, no? You're awful," but he's just like "Remember when I wasn't asking to tutor you? I'm not asking you to pack. Pack your shit."

Not having much of an option because of how aggressive and strong he is, we do as we're told. We pack the necessities, and we head to his limo. The worst part of all this, aside from going with this guy, is that we don't have any family or friends that are going to notice that we're missing or that something is wrong or anything. We can't even rely on our new job being concerned about our whereabouts because we've never set foot in there. They're going to quickly dismiss it as us being a "no show" and simply move forward. That's, quite literally, going to be it, and we're deadass stuck like chuck because of it. That realization combined with everything that was going on just causes us to freak out even more, and we end up passing out. Now mind you, how we pass out depends on if the sex was consensual or not.

Either way, we end up here:

Oh, it's actually a pretty nice room! Sure would be a hell of a lot nicer if we, like, you know, wanted to be here, and we weren't literally bound to the damned bed. I mean, not to be ungrateful or anything, just a bit of constructive criticism.

Ciel doesn't care though. He knows we'll adjust. We don't have a choice but to, and he doesn't care how long it takes. Know why? Because...

We have all the time in the world now.

Pretty solid game!

This was definitely more novely, if that makes sense. Actually, let me explain just in case you guys' brain isn't wired as goofy as mine is lol. What I mean by "it's more 'novely'" is that there's no choices to really make. Like I mentioned, the only choice -- and I mean that literally -- that has to be made is whether you consensually have sex with Ciel or not. Other than that, it's a linear story, and...it wasn't bad.

If you've been reading my reviews, you know that I've mentioned having a preference for choice heavy games, but this was still pretty good, even if I wanted to deck Ciel in the face and was not presented the option to do so...

I honestly don't have much to say about this one. The character was pretty cute but extremely toxic, the visuals were nice, and the story was short but wild. Can't really complain or comment on much. It was a simple game, so a simple review is all I have to offer lol.

Oh! Just as a heads up though! The part that stumped me the most was this screen:

Lol uh...that's the title screen.

When I tell you I thought that I had downloaded the wrong game or that it was the wrong game file on the page, I mean that. This dev has a game by this exact title, and I had saved it to play later, and I had honestly thought that I had either downloaded it by mistake or that they had uploaded the wrong file, but it's correct! If I understood what I saw, Chains of Fate -- which is what you see on the title screen -- is the game that the dev is working on, and Ciel's route -- or rather this particular game -- is a part of the whole game...I think. Lol just hit play and keep it rolling! You're playing the right game is what I'm saying.

But yeah! I thought the game was pretty okay! I recommend giving it a casual playthrough! It's a free game, so what have you got to lose other than about 20 minutes or so of free time? As always, be sure to leave your comments on the dev's page if you feel like they've done a good job, and you want to give them that extra reassurance to keep making games. Of course, donations are always helpful to them as well! Like mentioned at the very top, here is a link to the game so that you can play it for yourself, and I hope that you do!

All righty! That's all from me for now! Drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around~!

Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 1, Chapters 1-2 below. (More detailed thoughts will be their own posts.)

TriMax Volume 1 Covers

Kuroneko on the chapter index gives me serotonin.

Vash finally finds a lamp with a genie in it and all he gets is punched. He seriously has the worst luck.

Wolfwook looks VERY possessive over that cross of his....

LOL, switched to the sex doll. Of course.

Chapter 1: Hero Reborn

First Knives is reborn, now Vash will be reborn?

Yeah... kinda hard to forget someone literally shot the moon when there's a giant crater on it now....

Vash with dark hair has made his premiere.

Hmm. Needs more floaty cloth bits.

Well, someone's having a bad day. I know I wouldn't want to end up tied up and tossed in a fountain....

LOL, they shout for the sheriff and the next character we see is Wolfwood. He's not a sherriff!

You gotta know a place is welcoming when you walk into a saloon and everyone immediately pulls a gun on you. I mean, that's just a normal day in Texas or Arizona, right?

Oof. RIP bus.

I mean, I realize Fifth Moon was traumatic and all, but somehow I doubt Vash would be filling someone with "twice his weight in lead."

I guess the person dumped in the fountain was actually the sheriff. Nightow could have shown the guy's badge or something to give us an indication of that....

Poor Vash. He doesn't deserve NEARLY that many knives in his picture.

Everyone has to ask about the cross. Wolfwood rarely actually answers. Deflection and misdirection is better.

LOL, Lina's face here...

Oh, man. WW's face in literally the next panel after Ericks's entrance. He knows exactly who he's looking at.

Vash Ericks, I know you try to look for non-combative solutions, but female-bodied folk really don't have a lot of options when people get handsy if we want them to decide not to push their luck beyond just being handsy.

Ah, see, this is why he thinks she overreacted. Because now a lot more people are in danger.

Heheheheheheh, WW, Lina, and Vash are all in such a close clump here.

Aaaand now "Ericks" has fully noticed Wolfwood.

Who the heck is this evil hamster of a human being?

All I'm saying, buddy, is that her footpring miiiiiight just be an improvement.

Gods, WW is so intent in this situation. Just looking at everything and listening to everything.

Dude, who STOLE VASH'S JACKET?!?! Also, those sunglasses jut feel wrong.

Oh, Ericks. So gentle....

Yeah, pretty sure actual Vash the Stampede wouldn't stoop to humiliating people as part of a power play.

Ericks, though. He's like, "Cool, a bargain where people live at the end!"

I wonder how much of Ericks telling Lina to cover her eyes is because he doesn't want her to see his scars.

WW wasn't really with the group long enough to see Vash's scars before, but this really clears things up for the audience. And you can practically hear the gears grinding in WW's head as he observes this scene.

Dude. This imposter even copied his gay little earing. Now that's commitment.

Opening fire on a naked man? Rude.

*sigh* All of that for nothing 'cause Lina's still caught.

AGAIN?! How often does this guy get shot!?

WW barely knows Vash and he's already like, "I WILL CLOCK ANYONE WHO SPEAKS SLANDER AGAINST HIS NAME."

What? He has super-healing? I mean, I guess that makes sense.

People really need to stop barreling their way into the infirmary....

Sheryl has a point. Things gotta get done. If the young folk won't help, then this old lame woman's gonna have to do it.

LOL, Wolfwood waking up Ericks will never not be one of my favorite scenes.

Awwwww, Wolfwood! Don't remind him about Fifth Moon! He thinks about it every time he sees that moon, I'm sure. It's NOT a pleasant memory in any way, shape or form, and he hates the legends around him!

Ugh, someone give this man a hug....

Cruel, indeed. The way he looks when he picks up that gun. There are so many emotions going on here. Loss, resignation, familiarity, sadness. Seriously. Where are the hugs for this man??

Wolfwood, always the pragmatist. He knows this isn't a great path, and how unfair it is for him to drag Vash back to it. But he also knows it's the path forward.

Heh. Yeah, just the two of them. For Vash to exhibit this amount of trust in WW suggests he's at least suspected WW's true nature for a while.

PUNISHER REVEAL!!!

Annnnnd Vash's first thought on seeing the giant machine gun is, of course, "Please, no death."

This panel of them heading into the fight together just fills me with so much joy.

Fake Vash is in a bit of a pickle, isn't he? Looks like he knows it, too.

Wolfwood reacting to Fake Vash demanding actual Vash say his name is beautiful. He looks like he's gonna die of laughter there in the dirt.

Heh. And with that last gunshot, Vash reclaims who he is.

And even after that reclaiming, he gets a heartfelt, genuine, and warm hug from a young girl who has only really known him as her friend and adopted family member, Ericks. <3

Chapter 2: Lina

"Something freaky is going on here." Yes. You're dealing with Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Even one of those should be enough to cause serious alarm.

SHOES OFF THE BED. Geez. Barbarian....

Ugh, I love his expression here.

I'm sorry, I can't get over Wolfwood's weird duck face in this panel.

This is a very interesting take on the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti dinner scene. That poor sausage....

Aww, you can see where his hair's gone all dark underneath now that he has it tied back.

Well, that's one way to get Vash's attention. He doesn't have as much chill when it comes to his brother. And understandably so.

Uhhhhhh, what's up with that spiky weird shadow guy?

TBH, Vash has good reason to be suspicious of anyone who knows too much about Knives. Knives's games aren't about humans. They're about Knives and Vash. Humans are just pawns and casualties.

I love how this 12-year-old girl is able to cow a bunch of whiny, scared men with just her presence. I love how angry she gets on Vash's behalf.

"If he and his followers sniff me out..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no comment. Vash just got really freaking lucky with exactly who's sniffing him out.

The comedy of this panel is great. Granny's all like, "Oh, no.... You're gonna end up beaten up in a ditch somewhere...." Meanwhile, her granddaughter has already begun just wailing on Vash. Without even dropping the groceries.

Ugh, just... having someone take care of him for a bit. It's a small and much-needed kindness. But that's how it often is with small kindnesses.

Wolfwood: "That brat (affectionate)"

LOL, Vash gets head-pats. GOOD.

Wait, Evil Hamster Man is back??

What the heck is even happening in this panel? Is this a second guy? Is this a growth on Evil Hamster Man's back? I don't know. We already had a guy with a LITERAL GUN for legs, so either wouldn't exactly surprise me. Wolfwood's face sums up my feelings perfectly.

Ohhh, Vash isn't having any of this guy's shit.

WTF, he just KICKED the round out of the sky?!

Vash isn't really prone to showing off just to show off. I'm guessing he's doing this to make Lina and Granny feel a bit better about how competent he is.

Even Wolfwood, who's seen Vash's weird before, seems a bit shocked.

Also, LOL, Wolfwood frog face.

Literally still can't tell if the second gunman is an actual dude or just some weird Evil Hamster Man growth.

Oh, there we go. He seems to be a separate entity, after all.

LOL, Wolfwood, calling them like he sees them. (Thank you, @trigun-manga-overhaul, for keeping the swearing. It makes it that much more funny.)

And now Evil Hamster Man is given a choice: a chance at redemption, or having to deal with an angry Stampede. Let's hope he chooses wisely.

Well, Granny's feeling better about the situation. Lina seems more... resigned.

There's something so lovely about the hair-trimming scene. It's one last bit of domestic comfort with his little found family before he heads off to war.

I genuinely believe Wolfwood here. He has a good heart, even when he tries to hide it.

*sigh* And as Lina cuts away at his hair, we just drown in their shared memories. The vast majority of it is simple things. Family things. Quiet moments. But they meant the world to Lina. And they probably meant the world to Vash, too.

I have thoughts about Lina burying herself in the cloth from Vash's haircut.

This chapter ends beautifully and makes me want to cry.

I had to share this funny little conversation I had last night at the mall lol 😆

So, no lie, I was at the mall last night getting some pizza, and I swear, the guy who was making my pizza reminded me of Timothée Chalamet lol 🤣 He even had a baseball cap on his head lol. This is how the conversation went.....🤭

------------------------------

Me: "Has anyone ever told you that you kindof look like Timothée Chalamet?"

Guy: [Smiles but is confused] "Ummm... no, I don't think so. I don't know who he is. Who is he?"

Me: "Haha....He's an actor. You kind of favor him a little bit... seriously!"

Guy: "Oh really?? Now I'm curious what he looks like. Hey Jessica (female coworker), who's Timothée Chalamet?"

*Jessica walks over*

Jessica: "Huh?"

Guy: "Who's Timothée Chalamet? She's saying that I look like him."

Jessica: "Oh dude.... if she's saying that you look like Timothée Chalamet, then that's a major compliment cuz he's hot!"

*Fist bumps me* lol 😆

Me: "He kind of looks like him doesn't he?"

Jessica: "Yea, I can see it..." 🤔

Guy: "Now I have to know what he looks like and see for myself. What movies has he done?"

Me: "Well, he's going to be in the new Wonka movie. He's also done Dune...."

Guy: [Smiling] "Oh, I thought you were going to say I looked like Spiderman haha...."

Me: "Oh, you mean Tom Holland?" 😄

Guy: "Yea..." [Chuckles]

Me: "Haha, no Tom is cute too, but you definitely look more like Timothée" 😅

---------------------------

I swear, that was the funniest most random conversation ever lol 😆 😂 I thought he was just gonna be like, "oh yea, I get that all the time actually!" and keep it moving lol. But the fact that he didn't even know who Timothée was had me baffled rofl 🤣

I should have just told him to watch SNL tonight, and he'll know who Timmy is cuz he's hosting this evening rofl 🤣

Do guys really not know who Timothée Chalamet is lol? 😅 It seems like women know who he is, but men don't lol. That was funny, he knew who Tom Holland was though lol!! 😆 Probably coz Tom plays Spiderman, and more guys have probably seen those movies more than Timothée's work? 🤷🏾‍♀️

It was just so random, but I just had to say smthg cuz he seriously looked like he could be Timmy's younger brother or smthg. He had the same curly brown hair, the same build, the same eyes, the same cap, like, everything lol 😆

We'll Meet Again (Part 9)

Rex Brown x Female Reader

Summary: With time against you and Rex, will he be able to stop you from boarding the plane and leaving for good?

Age rating: 13+ *No warnings*

Word count: 1,018

*A shorter chapter just because I wanted the story to be an even 10 chapters lol (I'm weird like that)*

I slammed down onto the play button on my cassette player, as I allowed the sounds of Jimmy Page’s guitar to fill my ears, as I threw my head back and closed my eyes. But it didn’t take long before restlessness found me again and I sat forward in my seat. 

My gaze fixated on the bodies that moved around me through the airport, as I watched people come and go before me, as they were nothing but blurs. The voice on the PA system drained out the music, as I frustratedly amped up the volume. 

I shifted in my position, and stared down at my hand, Rex’s promise ring glistened beneath the fluorescent light. Suddenly an ache formed inside my chest at the thought of him. 

In the distance, I managed to catch the final words from the PA system, as I ripped my headphones away from me, as I recognized the flight number. I then stared down at my wristwatch, knowing that it was time for me to board my plane. 

Frozen in my stance, my feet were unable to move, knowing that the moment I stood up would mean that I’d have to leave this place for good. 

“This is the final call for flight DL 662.” The voice bellowed from the speakers. 

I closed my eyes for a mere second, before I exhaled and pushed myself onto standing. Grabbing my bag I shoved my walkman into the compartment before I flung the strap over my shoulder and stalked towards the counter. 

Just when I approached the counter and was about to place down my ticket, I heard a voice call my name. My brows furrowed, as my ear twitched. There it came again. 

Abruptly, I spun around, as my eyes drifted over the crowd of people that stood in my way. I stepped forward, as I followed the sound of the voice. Finally, the familiar face came into view, as I gasped. 

“Rex?” I said, as I hurriedly moved forward. 

It didn’t take long before we managed to push our way through to each other, my heart pounded against my chest. The fear that this may be a figment of my imagination had crossed my mind. Yet, the longer I stared at him, I knew that this was reality. 

My gaze then fixated on the person behind him, as I asked in utter confusion, “Billy?” Rex embraced me as I wrapped my arms around him. “Oh my god, what are you guys doing here?” I asked, as I drew away from Rex. “Why are you guys together?” 

Rex and Billy stared at each other before they returned their attention to me. “It’s a long story,” Rex began. 

“We cleared shit up… it’s all good now.” Billy added. 

“Oh,” was all I was able to say. 

“You can’t go.” Rex pleaded. 

I shook my head, as I averted my gaze from him. “Rex, I-” I paused. 

“No, but it’s fine now-” Rex exclaimed. 

“You can come back to the band.” Billy said. 

My eyes widened. “What? Seriously?” 

“You’re the best bass player in town.” Billy explained, as Rex cleared his throat. “You’re good too.” He added. 

“I can’t believe this-” I exclaimed, as I ran my fingers through my hair. 

“It’s fine right? You’re in the band, you didn’t break the deal.” Rex explained. 

“Yeah…” I said. “And you’re sure, Billy?” 

“Dude, I’m parked in a meter. If I was trying to fuck with you, did you think I’d drive all this way.” Billy bellowed. 

“Well, serves you right-” Rex challenged, “this whole feud was a misunderstanding.” 

I swallowed the temptation to ponder what the reason behind the feud had been, as I tried to wrap my head around what had unfolded before me. 

“Alright, well, let’s wrap this up guys.” Billy muttered. 

“So?” Rex asked me. 

My gaze locked with his as I stared into his beautiful dark eyes. I raised the ticket up and tore it into pieces. “My mom’s gonna be pissed, but it’s really not up to her.” I commented. 

A smile flashed across Rex’s face as he cupped my face and drew me close towards him. Our lips collided against each other. 

“Ugh, I’m gonna be in the car.” Billy groaned in the distance. 

---------

Anticipation lingered in my veins the moment Billy and Rex had dropped me off at my house. Quietly, I stalked into the house, an eerie silence blanketed the surroundings, as the beaming sunlight had seeped in through the windows. 

I placed my bags by the side of the door as I closed it behind me. 

“Mom.” I called out. 

I followed the silence, as I stepped further into the house. To my dismay, I found my mother sitting at the dining table. She turned to face me, as I saw the smudged mascara that had fallen beneath her eyes. 

“Before you say anything, I can explain.” I began. 

Suddenly, my mother shot up onto her feet as she stepped towards me and embraced me. Taken aback, I stumbled backwards as I fought to find my balance. 

“I’m so sorry.” She cried into my shoulder, and drew back. “I shouldn’t have done that.” 

“I mean… I did make a deal with you and dad-” 

My mom exhaled as she wiped the tears away from her face. “I projected myself onto you,” she explained, “I was afraid that you were making the same mistake that I had made.” 

My brows furrowed, as I tried to piece together what she was trying to tell me. “What do you mean?” 

“You know I tried to be an actress when I was your age.” 

“Really?” I questioned. 

“Your grams told me that it would never work out, and that I should give up,” my mom explained, and shook her head, “but it’s not fair on you.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“And Rex… perhaps I misjudged him.” 

“He’s really special to me, mom.” I said, as I stared down at the ring on my finger again. 

My mom’s gaze followed mine as she eyed the ring. She smiled. “I can see that.”

no because you're right....none of the supposed new leading men are giving what they're supposed to give. sure there are some fine actors among them but truly only a few of them are the full package and those are usually the ones hollywood isn't really pushing.

Part of it is that I think Hollywood really is pushing very family-friendly content right now, and a lot of the actors they're moving forward have to go with that. Like, Tom Holland may Demand To Be Taken Seriously, but thus far it hasn't really worked, and a lot of that, let's be real, is because it's hard to see him in these mature roles. He's sexless, he looks very young. I think Timmy has a similar issue, but he's gone for darker, edgier roles obviously; his fanbase is very young though, and I don't know that he has the ability or the hype to have a sustainable career the way Leo did when he went from Acclaimed Teen Idol to Long Term Movie Star (Leo is one of the last true movie stars, love him or hate him).

There just aren't a lot of opportunities to really hot, mature guys to make a splash right now--to play sexy, to play romantic. Back in the day a Chris Hemsworth type would've been in movies that also allowed him to like, show off his sexual charisma, even if he's not fucking onscreen. Look at Harrison Ford. Even his "family friendly" fare like Star Wars and Indiana Jones always put him as the romantic lead--Raiders of the Lost Ark was actually pretty hot compared to most action movies today. (Marion screaming at Indy about how he took her virginity, the scene where she tended his wounds~, lol.) Then he'd also do movies like Working Girl, where he was a total sex object for the female gaze (the scene where he changes his shirt in his office and the female employees watching all clap).

Today they basically work out a ton, get their muscles perfect, and then... don't kiss anyone. Don't build that kind of appeal AT ALL. So what happens when you can't do those action roles anymore or you aren't taken seriously as an actor any longer? Few action stars have the physical longevity of a Keanu Reeves, who also has actually found his niche and grow as an actor while playing action. Most of them struggle.

So the more conventional dudes by and large do action until they can't and then struggle some; then you have the most nebbish guys playing more dramatic roles, because those dramatic roles don't have a sexy angle so they don't need to be sexy, even though back in the day you could totally do both (Paul Newman and Robert Redford were hailed as talented dramatic actors while being hot, because they were lol); and there are very few romantic roles in general.

I think there's also a lot of either/or going on right now too--if you're handsome you go superhero, if you're sort of normal-looking either approachable comedy or drama depending on your abilities. The romcoms that do exist are largely sexless, so be the safe guy next door, because sex is Dangerous. Arguably, a lot of Code-era movies are currently sexier than the sexless movies we have right now because the actors infused their performances with the sex they couldn't explicitly perform onscreen.

There is also of course, the fact that Hollywood keeps pushing the same middling skinny white guys (often British, often from money with a family tree that is a single branch). There are tons of men of color who bring the sex appeal and should be much bigger than they are. The internet has been losing its shit over how hot Dev Patel and Henry Golding are for... how long now? But they're Asian, so Hollywood refuses to see them as romantic leads. Daryl McCormack gave a performance both incredibly good and incredibly hot in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande; will he get the kind of shine a white actor would? Yahya Abdul-Mateen II says he wants to do romcoms, but will he be offered those parts?

Obviously, this is not a new issue, and the hot guys who made it big as Sexy Men back in the day in Hollywood were by and large white. At least they were hot, though; now it's largely white men with zero charisma, made to appeal to the mass audiences without any sense of sex.

SHE WAS GONNA CONFESS!! IF HE KNEW HOW TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES HE WOULD KNOW HOW SHE FEELS!!

HIS FACE AAAAHHHHH why are you not together yet??!!

THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS DUDE?? HE HAD NO RIGHT!!! ASDFGHJKFGH!!!

You know that meme? The one that goes like “if I had a nickel for everytime this happened I’d have two, which isn’t  a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice”?. Well, that’s how I feel about having two super annoying, infuritating, entitled and beyond obsessed with female lead second male leads in the dramas I’m watching.

Two per week is just to much.

Seriously, between this ass of a guy and Kang HaeJin from Love in Contract I found myself switching from feeling all giddy and happy watching the main couples’ moments to wishing I could break something (preferably the second male leads’ perfect faces). I just don’t understand why this is happening. It should be investigated and researched on because one annoying SL in kdramas’ fall season is acceptable, but two??wtf? Do these writers know each other?? Are they puling some kind of sick joke on us?? What is it??!!!

I just thought, idk why to be honest, that we had evolved from these self-absorbed bastards that are always stalking the female leads, have absoloutely no story arcs, are one-dimensional and bring nothing of substance to the story.  I’d understand if the couples needed this conflict, but in this drama (and in Love in Contract) they have enough problems as it is to keep them apart. The second lead constantly getting in between is not needed.

Well, I finally  got it out of my system, I promise I will make no more rants of these. But it felt good lol  And I do find consolation in the fact that these characters will remain alone in the end and my ships will end up together lol

#SBS Cheer Up #kdrama #han ji hyun #bae in hyuk #i could drop the dramas and just spare my feelings #stop feeling this angry #but i like the stories and main couples too much already! #it's not fair!! #so yeah this is some sick joke

Annon-Guy: I asked other DotNW fans this, but what are your thoughts on;

Emil/Ratatosk, Marta, Tenebrae, Richter, Aqua, Alice and Decus as characters?

What do you think of Emil X Marta and Alice X Decus?

Sure thing, dude! I'll make this the last post of tonight's Tales of Sunday, too. Let's set this up the same way I did on this post.

Emil: He's baby boy baby! I know a lot of people who play (and dislike) DotNW can't stand Emil's cowardice and hate towards Lloyd at the beginning. Besides the hating Lloyd part, I always found it very relatable! Admittedly it's still a character flaw for him to get over, but I don't find it as annoying as others do. But I love him, I love his development, and his eventual friendship with Lloyd. I think his character was handled really well. And dude. Especially how he feels responsible for Aster's death and stealing his life? Relatable, I would feel the exact same way 100%.

Ratatosk: Spicy baby! Honestly his character development was a lot of fun to see through the story, especially how it all comes to a head when he fights Emil in the true ending. (I also love the detail that he's just as good a cook as Emil, he just doesn't care about presentation lol). The way he gets soft for Marta is very sweet, too. I have mixed feelings about how his character is handled in the crossover games, though.

Marta: Haha, like I said, she's not my favorite Tales Heroine, but she's not bad. I also loved her as a kid! She was like a silly self-insert for me at the time. Her weapon has always confused me, and her battle combos aren't great, but bringing optimism to contradict Emil's pessimism was always a nice touch. I especially love her relationship with Tenebrae, and her eventual friendship with Colette. I'm not a ~huge~ fan of her reading too much into Emil's interactions with the other female members of the party ("I see you're into older women now" like what the hell), but when she's sincere I really appreciate her.

Tenebrae: love him, snarky doggy boi :3 His clothes are the same as his skin... always bothered me, ha! Besides Repede, I think he's one of the better designs of a dog character in the series. LOVE his tail hand. Iconic design. 10/10.

Richter: He's fine, he serves his purpose. I wish I could love him as much as other fans, but much like Yuan, I never really clicked with him. His motivation and how much he believed in Aster is very moving, though! And his theme? Top tier.

Aqua: she's a character. Love her design!

Alice: a really good character to hate! Her baby voice makes my skin crawl, her malicious innocence is entertaining. All her nicknames for people suck, and I think that just adds to it. To be clear, I don't hate her as a character that exists! I'm glad she exists, she adds to the plot and to fleshing out Marta. It sucks she gets dropped for a good while after the raid on the Vanguard base. But man. I hate her.

Decus: he's fine. I tend to have a bias towards characters that have a lot of jewelry (due to my phobia) in not liking them as much as other people? He's in the story to exist as a Lloyd-framer and a mirror to Emil, but otherwise they don't do much with him that matters. He's comedic. Too much so. You can't take him seriously even when they want you to because he's too goofy.

This next section I assume you mean like, shipping wise?

Emil x Marta: They're cute! I like them a lot, as characters, but not so much as a couple, I guess? They're a cute high school couple in a Christian School setting, but once they head off to college either they're going to need to really make things work or settle with being friends (close friends!). That's the vibe I get from them. I don't see them completely separating, but I also don't see them like. Having kids. At least, not without problems.

Alice x Decus: they're a mirror to Emil and Marta's relationship! That's... about it. I'm going to be completely honest, I don't really have any thoughts about them other than that is a toxic relationship. They're okay!
