𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐌

Pairing: Eddie x F!Reader

Summary: Eddie wants to introduce you to his mom, so you go to the graveyard with him.

Warnings: angst, fluff, death of a parent

It was late evening and the sky was starting to darken when you sat down on the ground, in front of the stone with Mrs. Munson's name engraved on it.

"Hi mom, this is Y/N," Eddie said as he crossed his legs and stared at the faded photo of the smiling woman on the tombstone "my girlfriend."

He had been wanting to take you there for some time, he said that since he knew your family he wanted you to get to "know" his too, only if you wanted too, of course.

"I've talked about her so many times before, I do it every time I come here actually, but I've never brought her here before." He added pulling his hands out of his jacket pockets and playing nervously with the rings on his fingers.

He kept talking without ever meeting your gaze as if he was afraid of what he might read in your eyes.

"She's here because she's really important to me and I wanted to introduce her to you too. Uncle Wayne has already said that she likes her a lot, they're basically best friends, sometimes I think she loves him more than me." He said the last part with a slight laugh but from his expression he didn't look amused.

"You two have a lot in common, you know?" He asked before pausing as if he was really waiting for an answer.

In return you only heard the rustling of the leaves of the trees caused by the wind.

"She's as kind as you were. She always lets me copy her homework even though I should probably start doing it myself if I wanna graduate. Sometimes she brings home-cooked food for me and Wayne, she and her mom make really good chocolate cakes, you would have liked them a lot." He explained, his voice low.

"Sometimes we cook together like I used to do with you. But Y/N and I always end up making a mess or fighting with flour. But it's fun, so we keep doing it even if we have to clean the trailer from top to bottom afterwards." A sad smile appeared on Eddie's face, probably remembering his days spent with his mother when she was with him.

"And she's as funny as you, she can make me smile with a simple joke even though my day has been shit and I just want to sleep for three days straight." He added and your heart squeezed in your chest.

"She's caring. That's another thing you both have in common. Once I didn't go to school because I had a fever and she missed an important test to come and check if I was okay. Actually I wasn't very okay, she had to keep my hair back as I threw up. I told her she could go anyway but she stayed with me until Wayne was back, at night. She stayed there all those hours, making me rest my head on her stomach and running her hands through my hair just like you used to do." At this point you just wanted to cry. You never thought that all those simple gestures that were part of your relationship with Eddie could mean so much to him.

You reached out to him and grabbed his hand which had started to shake slightly and definitely not from the temperature. He fliched at first, then hold it as if his life depended on it.

"She's also a good listener, she never judges when I talk about my problems and always listens when I talk about things I'm interested in . She says she likes to hear me talk about what I like, Dungeons & Dragons, the band and music in general, books. Once I even started reading the Hobbit aloud to her, but she fell asleep after half an hour with her head on my chest. I didn't get mad, she was too pretty. And I could never be mad at her, she makes me happy." If he was talking about being happy, then why did his voice sound so broken?

"When I'm with her I feel good, mom. It doesn't matter if I'm at school, in the trailer or on a bench in the woods, when I'm with her I feel at home. And it feels good. It feels great." He added as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"She's one of the best people I know." He breathed as you reached up to him and wiped it away with your thumb, slowly caressing his cheek.

"You would have loved her, mom." He said finally, before wrapping an arm around your waist and pushing you against him, resting his head on your shoulder and sniffling.

"It's okay." You said rubbing your hand on the fabric of the denim jacket covering his back.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too. And I'm so sorry I didn't get to know your mom. If she was even half as amazing as you are, then she really must have been great." You said leaving a kiss on his forehead.

"She was." He murmured as his arms still held you.

Your lips brushed his temple leaving a light kiss there too, then you turned towards the tombstone.

"Mrs. Munson, I promise I will take good care of your boy."

hiii <3 ! can you write where it’s tokio hotel x reader but like separately… ( YK ????) 😭😭😭 anyways where the reader pulls their hair or scratches themselves when their stressed or sad ? and then they comfort the reader and calm them down ? ….. i hope this made sense i’m sorry pookie 😞😞.

By Your Side.

Tokio Hotel (2000’s) x Gn!reader<3 (Angst?)

YES OFC BABE! But I thought that I should make these HCs more indistinct so they are Basically just general s/h and Comfort but I hope you don’t mind! ALSO. me and my bbg lo kept coming up with really funny ideas to so I had to include those as well😔💔 the silly ones are all purple.

lo -> (my pookie bear) tysm @bbvoxstar ^_^ 💟💟💟

Warnings/Content: mentions of s/h.

• How each member of Tokio Hotel would comfort you after finding out about your Bad coping skills 😓

Tom

• At first he would get mad for not really knowing what to do.

• maybe some trust issues at first.

• but eventually he would be really understanding and try to help.

• Idk why but i think he would be really chill about it.

• lots of physical affection and silliness to try and distract you.

• Would be really defensive over you if someone were to point out or make fun of your scars (or any type of mark you would get from something)

• He would attempt at braiding your hair to keep you distracted because you kept pulling at it. but he ends up putting it into a knot and he calls Bill up (cause bills a female🥰) and Toms like "HELP OMG" so Bill unknots that shit 😙 Basically its just so funny that your not stressed anymore LOL.

Gustav

• I don't think that he would pick up on it super easily so he would be a bit confused when he first finds out.

• Hes very protective of you already, but he would become even more.

• He would make you watch silly movies together to try and cheer you up.

• Would let you play with his hair (he usually swats your hand away 😒)

• Gustav DEFINITELY likes Madagascar. yall watch Madagascar and he doesnt stop qouting the zebra 💔

Bill

• He would likely pick up on your behavior by himself, so he would end up talking to you to make sure you're alright.

• If he caught you in an act I think he would try to talk you through/out of it.

• Listens well and pays close attention to what you say. He would take it serously and try his best to make sure you trust him

• Would let you cry in his arms fr :(

• Would help you put on bandaids and kiss them😔 (I know That sounds really cringe but you know that you can picture it happening)

• He would be extra touchy and loving to try and comfort you when he knew you needed it to try and keep you from hurting yourself more in the future <3

• Gives you an emo makeover so you can look the part😍

• Writes a song about it :3

Georg

• I feel like if Georg ever saw you pull your hair he would think your on crack but then realize your sad and feel bad. 😓

•Hold your hands

• Speaks really soft and quiet when talking to you

• He’s very reassuring and always reminds you about how much he loves you. (he just gives those vibes yk)

• Checks up on you a lot, sometimes he makes time to do so, and when he can’t he texts you a lot.

y’all I am so sorry if the silly ones are out of pocket we couldn’t help ourselves😭 But srsly if any of you are ever struggling with these sorts of things I understand and am always here to talk 😘

💟 @fishinaband @nyxwritesshit @mikalame @bbvoxstar

I'll Watch Over You

Pairing: Castiel x Reader

Request: Ok i have a very specific request, kind of a weird one but so basically i have been having terrible mood swings, i think part of it is my pmdd, though i suspect i may be bipolar, i find myself breaking down over the smallest things like the air conditioning being too loud and i can’t help but think about how cas would just hold you through it. He’d be so calm and so sweet i need someone to write a comfort fic based on this

Masterlist

Story

"[Y/N]? You awake?" Sam's voice woke [Y/N] up from her sleep, and she opened her eyes halfway to look towards her doorway to see him standing there, silhouetted against the light coming from the hallway. "Didn't you want to go to that farmer's market this morning? Why are you still in bed?"

"What? What time is it? When did you get back?" She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"It's just past noon, we got back a few minutes ago".

Her eyes snapped open and she pushed her covers off her. "Noon?! Shit, Dean's gonna be so annoyed. He is going to be pissed". She groaned while pushing her legs off the bed and sitting on the edge.

"Dean?"

"Yeah, he made me promise to get him those mini pies that they sell at the market. You know the ones he usually gets from the market that only happens once a month? He asked me like fifty times before you both went to help Jody with that case... which I should've asked you about before talking about pies". She ran her hand down her face in frustration.

"It went pretty well, only a few minor issues, no injuries past some bruises. I'll fill you in later. He's just going to have to wait until next month, the market usually ends at 11am, right?"

"I know. Ugh I'm so annoyed at myself". She threw herself back down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. She was on a temporary ban from hunts since she'd messed up on the last few. Sam and Dean had sat her down the previous week before they left on the hunt and told her she needed to get herself together, to stop rushing things and being so careless around monsters and demons. She was a skilled fighter, and for the most part was good at strategy and being smart and working well with the boys. Sometimes however, she had days when everything seemed to be working against her, and those days were dangerous when they happened on hunts. Those days had been happening a lot over the last couple of months.

"Do you want me to break the news to him? You may want to avoid him for awhile". He chuckled and [Y/N] leaned back up, propping herself up on her elbows to glare at him.

"It's not funny Sam".

"Sorry, sorry". He chuckled again, holding his hands up in defeat. "You might want to think about getting up though before the day is over". She sighed and lay back down again. Sam turned to leave, but stopped just before walking away to turn back to her. "Hey, also, why is the bunker so cold? When we walked through the door we could barely tell the difference from outside, and it's snowing out there".

"Oh... I uh, turned the heating off". She was glad her room was dark to hide the embarrassment from her face.

"Why?" Sam raised an eyebrow at her. "It's freezing".

"I know, I just couldn't concentrate on anything with the hum from it yesterday. You were calling me to ask all sorts of questions about banshees and I just kept getting distracted by the noise. It was frustrating".

"Okay... well, do you mind if I turn it back on?"

"Go for it". She sighed, and listened as his footsteps quietened the farther he walked down the hall. After a bad start to the day, the rest of the afternoon did not pan out well either. She'd gotten herself tangled up in her sheets and had fallen out of the bed when trying to get up, knocked a glass off her bedside table in the process and cut her hand, then stubbed her toe on her door as she pulled it closed, nearly slipped in the bathroom on some water that was on the tiled floor, and then was faced with no hot water. Having the heating turned off for an entire day meant that even though Sam had turned it back on, it was going to take awhile to heat the entire bunker, including the water supply. She had a cold shower, then realised she'd left her clothes behind in her room and would have to walk back in her towel and just hope that she didn't bump into anyone on her way back. Of course, luck was not on her side.

"Hiding from me?" She froze as Dean's gruff voice sounded from behind her. "I asked you to do one thing. One thing". She turned around to see him shaking his head at her. She felt like a scolded child, standing there vulnerable in her towel and shivering from the cold.

"Can I get dressed before you tell me how disappointed you are?"

"I'm beyond disappointed [Y/N], I'm frustrated. You don't listen to anyone anymore, you constantly mess shit up, what's wrong with you?"

"Look Dean, I had a rough week while you were all away, okay? I felt like crap, like I was being grounded when I'm a grown adult. I worked my ass off researching everything you guys asked me to. I found answers for everything. I couldn't sleep because it was too noisy with the heating on, then I couldn't sleep because it was too cold with the heating off. I'm tired, I missed my alarm, I missed the market, and I'm sorry. Okay? I am sorry". She didn't realise she was trembling on top of the shivering, tears threatening to spill from her eyes until she watched Dean's face soften slightly, not knowing how to respond to her.

"[Y/N]" He sighed, running his hand down his face. "I don't know what to say to you".

"Dean". A gravelly voice behind her pulled her attention to Cas, who was standing there in his usual attire with a stern expression on his face. "I think you've said enough for now. You should go". She looked back to Dean who was waving them off, stomping his way back down the hall to his room. She readjusted her grip on her towel as she heard Cas walking towards her, not turning around to face him as the tears of frustration were now running down her face. "Are you alright?" His hand came to rest on her back and she jumped sightly at the unexpected touch.

"Yeah. Yeah, just... had a long week". She said as he walked around to face her, tilting his head, his eyes filled with sadness as he saw her crying.

"Do you want to talk about it? I know Dean says otherwise but talking is supposed to help". She shook her head at his suggestion, afraid of how shaky her voice would sound if she spoke now that she was facing him. "Okay. Would you like to get dressed and then sit with me? I have something to show you". This suggestion peaked her interest and she looked up to meet his eyes, curiosity getting the better of her. When he didn't offer a further explanation, she nodded and he smiled at her. "Alright. Get dressed, I'll wait outside your door". She nodded and went to turn around, but he grabbed her wrist first. "Let me heal your hand". He flipped her hand over so her palm was facing up with the small cut on display, his hand underneath holding it up. He lifted his free hand and placed it on top of hers, letting out a soft glow while a wave of warmth spread through her hand, the stinging disappearing.

"Thanks Cas". She sniffed as he let her hand go. He brought it up to her face and wiped her tears away with his thumb before he walked with her to her room and then stood outside as she closed the door behind her. She dropped her towel to the floor and sat on the bed for a few moments, trying to push the tears back down. She took a deep breath a sighed before walking over to her dresser to pick out some clean underwear, her comfy sweatpants, and one of the boys' old t-shirts, along with a pair of fluffy socks. Her room had heated up a little bit, but it was still cold, and all of her hoodies were in the laundry. Mentally scolding herself for forgetting to do the laundry, knowing that once Sam realised that it wasn't done she'd get an earful from him too, she settled on pulling a light blanket over her shoulder. She took another deep breath before opening her door again, the angel still standing where she left him. He smiled at her and held out his hand, which was unusual for Cas, but she took it without thinking.

"Where are we going?" She asked quietly as they walked past Dean's room, not wanting to confront him again.

"You'll see". He glanced down at her quickly to see her puzzled expression but he didn't say any more, and neither did she. He held her hand the entire way down the corridor, through a door, down another corridor, through another door, and eventually they ended up deep in the bunker, in an area that [Y/N] wasn't overly familiar with. She pulled her blanket tighter the farther they went, the temperature dropping along the way with the heating not quite catching up. Finally, he pulled her towards a large dark blue door and pushed it open before letting go of her hand to place his on the small of her back as he gently guided her into the room. It was a small, dark room. Two of the walls were covered in shelved, stuffed with books. There was a small couch just beside the door with several large pillows on it. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all covered in what looked like square panels of carpet, all dark blue to match the door. He ushered her to the couch where she sat down, surprised at how comfortable it was considering how old it would have to be, and Cas closed the door. Her eyes shot up to him in surprise as he turned to face her, a knowing smile on his face.

"It's quiet". She whispered.

"It's sound proof". He whispered back. "You won't hear the hum of the heating in here. You won't hear the hum of the aircon, you won't hear Sam and Dean arguing, you won't hear anything in here". He sat down beside her and watched as she looked around the room in amazement.

"Thank you Cas, really, I appreciate it so much".

"I don't like seeing you upset". He reached over her shoulders and took the blanket off her, before repositioning it over her front. "I'll talk to Dean, he shouldn't speak to you like that. I think he's tired from the hunt, you don't always mess up. You've saved all of us so many times, and don't tell Sam, but you're better at research than he his". She giggled a little bit as he squeezed her leg, a smile forming on his lips at the sound. "You said you couldn't sleep from the noise. You can sleep in here. I can leave you to some peace and quiet". He stood up but she spoke up before he could open the door again.

"You could stay". She said, not quite looking up to meet his eyes. "You don't have to, but I've been alone all week so I wouldn't mind if you wanted to stay". She blushed a bit as Cas sat back down beside her without question and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"I'll stay with you. Do you want to lie down?" He asked and she then realised that there was nowhere else to sit in the room but the couch they were on. "I'll lie with you, if you want". He gently rubbed her arm over the blanket. When she nodded, he leaned back and pushed his legs up onto the couch, pulling [Y/N] down with him. After a bit of maneuvering, Cas lay on his side on the outside of the couch facing in, and [Y/N] lay on the inside of the couch, her back to his chest. "You can cry if you want. I don't mind, you can let it out. I'll hold you". She nodded as fresh tears began to form in her eyes, no longer wanting to hide. "I'll hold you whenever you need me to". He said. She felt him press his lips to the top of her head as his arm reached around her to hold her closer, while his legs tangled with hers. She wanted to stay awake and enjoy the comfort that Cas was bringing her, but his slow, deep breaths against her back were lulling her to sleep. She felt safe, and protected, and all of the bad memories and worries from the beginning of the day shortly dissipated. Just before she drifted off, she heard Cas whisper one more thing.

"Sleep, [Y/N]. I'll watch over you".

The end

NSFW Alphabet: Jolly

EVERYTHING YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS A HEADCANON MEANING I CAME UP WITH IT IN MY OWN MIND EVEN IF I STATED THE EXACT INSPIRATION THAT LEAD ME TO THE THOUGHT.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Jolly is a funny one. Me thinks this goes one of two ways. He’s either the one that doesn’t mind snuggling all sweaty and out of breath, or he’s the one who’s like “eh he … let’s uhhh. We need to go take a shower hun. Like right now. Up up,” because he really needs to get un-sticky. He uses it as an excuse to rub your body down because he’s dumb sexy like that.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Boobs. I remember that boy posting a lot of memes centered around titties and I’m using that as fuel. Rihanna said “MUST BE LOVE ON THE BRAINNN,” but it’s really boobs on the brain for Jolly. Fun fact: I believe he referred to them as “lovelies” once and that is something that is burned into my brain. Also please reference all of the sideboob knowledge that Nicholas and Noah have bestowed upon him. On him? He really likes his forearms. There’s a lot of strength there that he can tell he’s built up, and I think he’s proud of them.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

All over you. Hear me out. I genuinely believe that Jolly likes to Pollock the shit out of you. Like if he’s about to cum and he’s hiting it from behind he’ll pull out and cum all over your lower back because he likes looking at himself all over your waist. Likes the way it looks dripping down your thighs. Very into marking his territory, but he doesn’t see it that way. It’s a subconscious thing. Honestly, I think he sometimes rubs it into your skin with his thumb a little bit. Makes you go out in public maybe.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Jolly is, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, someone that doesn’t mind a good threesome now and then. Now you may ask “V … isn’t that all of them,” and to that I say no 😌. See, take yourself out of the mindset of reading a fic right now. I want you to think about what could be a real life scenario. Jolly acts all “my woman is mine blegh possessive no sharing,” in front of the guys, but really? He’d sit back and let Nicholas take a crack at fucking you. He’d let Folio borrow your throat. He CANNOT let them know that, so he just settles for the one off friend of a friend you guys indulge in.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Don’t play with Jolly because he is not the three, never been the two, AND HES DAMN SURE NOT THE ONE. I genuinely think that the Her Bright Skies times were his personal slut era. I really do. Some of y’all are a little younger, but even a year or two makes a difference in bandom time and I promise you … you cannot FATHOM the amount of PUSSY that was thrown at band boys during that time. ESPECIALLY if they looked like him. He’s so experienced. Gotta be. Now, what I did find out about him is that there are some American terms that he obviously did not know, but they did translate somehow. Like don’t think that his dirty talk game is less because English isn’t his first language.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

HAH. Jolly is getting this one because I firmly believe that (I know Noah is working out but he ain’t there yet) he’s the only one in the band that can do it … Jolly can absolutely bounce you on his dick while he’s standing up and he loves it. Listen to me - guitar players have a certain set of muscles that get worked out a bit more than other musicians. I have learned through personal experience that visible muscles don’t mean shit. Now, the only reason that it would be really hard for Folio (arguably the strongest) to do this is because of his height. You need to be as tall as Jolly is, and as strong as Jolly is. He discovered he could do it one day and awwww! You’re his personal fleshlight now!! How precious!!!!!!

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

I think he’s a giggler. I don’t fucking buy Mr. Stoic for a minute. I think they have to tell that man to quit smiling in pictures and I think that’s why he always looks extra intimidating. He’s forcing himself to look that way. Jolly is the type to get his foot tickled by the sheets and laugh while he’s inside you. I think he wants you to laugh too. Like to him, smiles and being joyful are his favorite things, and he would really like to make sure that he gets some of that in the bedroom. He also cannot help it - you try to be serious and take control and that is so great! He loves that! But it’s funny that his lil cupcake put on her big girl panties, so he’s gonna chuckle.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Whewwwww child. I cannot believe that y’all made me put in the painful hours doing research on Jolly’s body hair. How will I recover? After staring at him for a long time and doing comparisons - Jolly, at most times, has the thickest happy trail in Bad Omens. There’s no fuckin way that just stops. Like it would be like driving off a cliff from a highway if it just ended. The conflicting thing would be that his home country is pretty big on shaving because American ideals have bled over. I think he generally does what he wants. I think he may trim it, but it ain’t shaved. He likes when you play with it 😈.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Awww. He’s the type to like … reflect on everything that led him to that moment. I think that he doesn’t find himself regretting a lot of things in life, because he just reminds himself that had he done anything different than what he did in the past, he might have never gotten you. Like he’s an eye contact holder, a thigh gripper (he loves them), and a forehead kisser. I think he thinks about all the things he wants to do to you and he just buries his head in your neck and tells you he loves you so much, because he thinks that maybe three lifetimes wouldn’t be enough. Jolly is incredibly romantic. The boy is soft. I have never and will never truly buy brat tamer Jolly. I can’t. Fun to imagine, but he couldn’t live that lifestyle for more than an hour I think.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Jolly is older, right? So I think he does, but he has enough restraint to wait until they’re at a venue and he can go to the bathroom. I think Jolly likes it really wet … wetter than most and because of that, there’s too much noise to do it anywhere where someone would hear him. He likes watching his spit fall down onto his dick. He likes working the head over with his palm until it almost hurts a little. Then he backs off and waits before repeating. Jolly probably keeps an eye on the time because he’s real life proven on multiple occasions that he’s the type to know he’s supposed to do one thing, but he gets lost in doing the thing that feels better in the moment. That’s a human trait, right? Missing a part of sound check because you’re fucking your fist isn’t though … so …

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Heh. I bet ya didn’t think of this one. This is one I’m going to absolutely die on because it’s REAL and maybe you haven’t experienced it but if you have you know what I’m talking about - I think certain music really turns Jolly on. He loves very heavy metal. Maybe not a full kink, but I think he has a list of songs that have either incredibly heavy bass lines, or breakdowns that are super filthy. They give him goosebumps. The goosebumps are just the start. They lead to more. Not like I have a playlist with examples or anything *cough*. Like I said … I think Jolly and the word “wet” are synonymous. Like extra spit, extra lube, extra mess. Pool sex, shower sex, and incredibly sloppy blowjobs get this boy going.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

We covered pools and showers, but I would like to add that Jolly is Mr. Gross But Not Gross In A Way That Would Actually Make You Ill. Noah’s bed. I think Jolly really likes to fuck on Noah’s bed. Not because Noah is in his thoughts, but because he’s not supposed to. The thought of fucking your brains out of your ears where he shouldn’t is enough to make him cum. He used that time that Noah’s candle exploded as a cover up for the milky mess he made you leave on the pillow he put under your hips. “Dude that’s just candle wax? Feel it. Just throw it in the washer, man”.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

It’s YOU. YOU turn him on, but I come bearing examples. You were side stage once, and you gathered all of your hair into a ponytail and kinda held it in your grip for a bit while making eye contact with him. Now, if he didn’t know any better, that’s the exact same way that he holds your hair when you’re sucking his cock. Nobody would know but the two of you, and you better be prepared to do it when he gets off stage because the way his guitar is hitting his boner isn’t fun. And it’s your fault. There was also that time that you wanted to show Davis your new tattoo. That wouldn’t be an issue, but it was right under your ass and you let some of your cheek meat slip out on purpose. Jolly isn’t jealous, but he wonders if Davis is thinking what he’s thinking? About bending you over a box of merch? Biting that tattoo?

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

He doesn’t do leather or latex. I’m headcanon Ning the fuck out of that. You can wear it all you want, but he just cannot do it. I think, with the way he is, the sensory input he gets from latex is enough to make his skin crawl. It also squeaks funny. Bad noise in his brain. I think he wouldn’t want to make you feel bad for spicing things up, so he persuades you into stripping for him so that he can get that shit as far from your body as possible.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

I think Jolly, out of all of the members, loves blowjobs the most. He likes when you’re so sloppy that your spit hits your shirt. He likes watching you lick precum off his tip and then spitting it all back to use as lube while your jerk him off. He ALSO is a fan of getting as messy as possible when he’s eating you out. He’s the type to make you so wet it’s dripping down to the bed. He wants your thighs to glisten and glide and make noises as you walk to the bathroom later. He likes spreading it open and seeing how deep his tongue can go. Jolly loves the taste because he’s a realist. I feel like, out of the four, Nicholas and Jolly are Mr. Pussy Tastes Like Pussy Which Is Not Fucking Sweet And That’s Fine We Like It Like That. Like they’re the type to outwardly express that no, it doesn’t taste like a mango and they LOVE it.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Firm rider on the “Jolly can knock your fuckin’ radiator loose” train. I mean think about it. He can do both, but he’s a fast pace setter. No, I don’t think that he’s all that rough and I say that because rough does not translate to fucking someone hard. When I think about rough, I think about Folio in that there may be times where it slips out and goes back in funny, or like they accidentally pull your hair in a way that hurts. Jolly is so fucking methodical that I think he can set a really hard and fast pace, but I don’t think he’s rough with you if that makes sense. Jolly is also really good at setting a slow pace - the only issue I feel like he would run into is that he gets lost in that slow pace, and when you need him to speed it up, you would kind of have to shake him a little bit because he would be beyond the point of being able to pick up on small clues. Lost in the metaphorical and literal pussy juice, ya feel?

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

No. No. No. I think that he is the type to really think about and reflect on how far he’s come, and the changes that he’s made in his life because of that, I think his quickie days are behind him. I think that he got enough of that in his old band. Again he’s the oldest, and with that comes the headcanon of having restraint. He’s learned with time that it’s just much better to keep all of that sexual energy pent-up because he knows he can let it out later. He almost sees it as a form of edging. Jolly understands that you have to preheat the oven before you bake a cake, and you must warm up the pussy before you fuck it. His foreplay is some peoples entire bang sesh. Get with it y’all.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Eh … yeah. I think we have to think about the risk though. He would absolutely experiment. See, experimenting is what got him this far in his experience game. The thing that said to him apart from a lot of men, though, is that he wipes the slate with every new partner he has because he knows that not all women are the same. I like he never takes advice from the other guys because he doesn’t want it or NEED it. He plans on finding out what makes you tick by actually asking you and communicating. Jolly is the one they go to for advice, but he says the same thing every time. “I’m the second person you asked, right? She should be the first,” and he puts his hair in a man bun knowing that he just helped one more girl cum. It’s like that whole “an angel gets its wings” thing, but it’s “a woman can have an orgasm” because Jolly made another man communicate.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

LOL listen to me - grab a tote bag. Fill it with Gatorade, water, fruit snacks, and a cookie. Jolly doesn’t understand the way that American media makes it seem like sex is supposed to be a fast thing. He is used to taking hours, but there are small breaks. He considers it all one round, but Noah told him it was really 5 because he heard it through the wall and “couldn’t believe that Swedish bastard had the fucking energy”. This all goes back to the laughing during sex that we talked about. He really thinks that you should be able to have full on conversations during the act when you are slowing it down because he paces himself well he can really last for hours. Gonna cum? Not if he pulls out and eats your cunt. Gonna cum? Not if he slows down and lets you warm him while you makeout. Gonna cum? Not if he pulls out and lays back and makes you watch an episode of Metalocalypse.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

I think that he totally owns toys and he’s not afraid to show you. Like Jolly is old enough to not really be embarrassed by anything like that. Matter of fact, he may not be a brat tamer, but he will make you sit in a chair while he fucks away at some fleshlight and you have to watch. “Bet you wish this was you, huh,” he says as he pulls out and taps his cock against the silicone folds. Yup. He also really likes to use toys on you. He’s more than happy to grab a few different dildos and use them while you close your eyes. Let’s revisit the threesome fantasy, yes? “Okay so this one kinda looks like Nicholas’s. Tell me what that feels like,” he whispers as you take it in. Yeah, I just said that and yeah, I hope it keeps you up at night.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He isn’t a teaser, actually. There are always exceptions, but I do feel like he knows that whatever he does to you you’re gonna do right back to him, and teasing turns him into a bucking bull. He cannot stand it. Although, if you let him count public teasing then he does; kissing behind the ear, grabbing you by the belt loop, and swatting your ass in the green room. We can go on. He also really loves giving you the shakes by tracing his fingers over your skin. The crease where your thigh and pussy kinda meet? He could spend hours right there.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Jolly, I think, is the quietest member of Bad Omens. Some of y’all might not love that, but let me explain. Stay with me. Jolly can’t let his head go blank. I don’t think that Jolly can let his head go blank because I don’t think that his thoughts are ever a problem for him, or something that he needs to let go of if that makes sense? Like Noah NEEDS to let his brain go empty. Jolly doesn’t. Because of this concept - Jolly thinks a lot during sex and it makes it hard to get words out sometimes. I think he makes a lot of low groaning noises, and some higher moaning when he’s overstimulated. If he does use his words or converse it tells you that he’s kinda just filling the space so he doesn’t cum too early (reference earlier). You might get “Oh …”, “God-,” or “Mother-,” and that’s just backing up my idea that he could try to say words, but if it feels too good he just can’t.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Random headcanon for Jolly? Jolly actually has a thing for your hands. You were really trying to figure out why he wanted you to let him teach you how to play guitar so bad. You noticed the way that he stared at your fingers after you let him manipulate them on the frets. The way he gently bent them and helped them press on the strings. It did not escape you that he wasn’t really talking, and you soon realized that he was using your fingers to play the song. Jolly had no shame. He liked the way your nail polish sparkled in the dim studio light, and the way your veins became prominent as your wrist flexed. Wondered if they did the same thing if you worked his dick. He really loves your fingers, baby.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

HAH. I’m laughing because I am sick to death of people with headcanons that aren’t realistic in this department - this is where you get caught. What are the motherfuckin’ chances that four dudes that are incredibly attractive all also happen to have massive pythons in their pants? Yeah. Yeah. So - I’m not saying that he has the smallest, but I’m saying that statistically, one of them has to be above average, one of them have to be smaller than average, and two of them are probably just average in my mind. I actually don’t think that we can even count him because I don’t know if you know this, but the average penis length in Sweden is over an inch longer than America. I used very specific measurements and ratios and did more math than I’ve done in the last three years to get this number, BUT IF YA GO OFF OF WHAT MY MATH SAYS BECAUSE THERES NO SOURCE YOU WEIRDOS - 7.7 inches. Again I hate math don’t ask me to do that anymore. Also again this is ALL IN MY HEAD AND MY NUMBERS COME FROM THE SWEDISH AVERAGE AND JOLLYS HEIGHT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFIRM THIS I STG I WILL KNOW AND I WILL FIND YOU.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

I think he actually doesn’t have a high sex drive at all. I think that he decides to fuck you when he’s not even horny? Like y’all love each other and have the time so why not use it to explore each other. He knows he’ll get turned on shortly after kissing you for a bit, but I don’t actually think he has a high sex drive.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Jolly is a relaxer. I don’t see him falling asleep that quickly, but I see him relaxing and not wanting to move. I also see him telling himself that he’ll go to the gym tomorrow, or he’ll take a walk tomorrow morning if he had plans. He just cuddles and watches a movie with you, and he really doesn’t mind if you fall asleep. Let’s him know his job is done.

Why the remake cabin kicks the OG’s ass -an analysis 🔎

Basically it has to do with a lot of elements. Sound, cinematic framing, how well written the entire segment is in general. All that sweet jazz. Also sorry in advance, I had to gifmaker some shitty gifs because I needed examples 😭💀

So I read up on a lot of filmmaking for this post about what makes a good set piece. At the start, the game already sets it up by subconsciously familiarizing the player with the cabin; making it one of the first areas we pass by. There’s something about how you see it in its position; in between the trees, sort of in the same center as the bridge, very by itself. Clearly it’s important. Later, the Saddler mindfuck scene at the church actually shows us why the villagers are on the chase. And it's all tied to how well realized the cult theme is in the entire story. It puts a slightly more sinister spin on the villagers' motivation compared to the og where it sometimes feels like they're purely used as obstacles.

And yes there’s actually PAYOFF this time. No more "vamanos" and the villagers just leave. Or for Luis to ask "so what now?". This time the villagers' condition gets woven into new exposition and a new goal; the Plaga ordeal inside the characters. And the end scene defines Luis role. A great set piece should have a well written purpose to advance the plot forward. And we actually experience first hand the whole hive mind thing instead of getting a 5 min Saddler monologue about it.

Talking about the technical stuff in scenes too. Like listen to the music and audio during the run up towards and after Luis closes the door, the music become this muffled droning as soon as the door is shut. It indicates that you've entered a different space that's more confined and sheltered from the outside w/o immediately breaking the ambient tension. Not necessarily an upgrade from the og but in the og, the escalating music stops because the payoff is seeing Luis. Whilst the remake still likes to remind you that you're still in a weird situation.

I also talked before how the camera loves to follow characters. In this shot you follow Leon forward and then you’re backing up behind Luis in this continuous camera movement. And see how tight the camera sticks behind Leon’s shoulder? He takes up like 75% of the frame at one point, with the camera subtly zooming in even though Luis is the focus. There’s a visceral feel in the confrontation, how its putting pressure on Luis just by how the scene is directed.

And the sound during that is like auditory storytelling. I know my audio doesn’t quite do it justice because it’s been compressed to shit so y’all might want to seek out the actual scene. But when Luis hits the wall here, the strings fade out and the sound of the rain is brought forward. Audio-wise, it’s like it’s bringing our focus to the presence of Luis and Ashley. It's also just ASMR af.

Another example of the fluid camera transition from earlier is when Ashley hides. The camera leads away from her and it follows that same “leading away” movement when it transition cuts to the window with Leon going into frame. Like look how seamless it tells action w/o having to do a lot of harsh cuts unlike the gif of the og below. The remake tends to show multiple activities either within the same shot or following a visual style so that it's easy to digest.

And holy shit, the way the music just disappears when our dudes take position here is so FUCKING GOOD. Because all you hear is the echo of the cult chanting and the ASMR patter of rain. I think of the silence as equivalent to taking a deep breath. And it’s funny because the sound effect when the scene transitions to the player is just this very intense and layered sound of exhaling. The way the camera also pulls back in the cutscene so that there’s no break from scene to gameplay just makes it so immersive.

Also those two shots we get from Leon and Luis’ perspectives before the gameplay is kinda interesting too. Very “Main Character POV” angle because the camera is positioned at the guys’ eye level, as if we the audience are directly in front of them. At that moment we sort of take the place of the characters as the player. The “it’s game time” line is so hype because it actually does feel like it’s being said to us.

I think the writing for the fight itself is way better than in the og. There's a real rhythm to how the conflict happens; a somewhat story structure. The setup, the moment things go to shit, the resolution. The setup happens in the cutscenes and as you're battling the early wave of villagers. The Plaga baddies I see as the first climax, because they only start conveniently popping up around the time you're scrambling to get the new boards. You get them up and there's your sort of downtime, the 'falling action' before things ramp up again.

There’s a clear transition to "the moment things go to shit" phase; it's all the elements working together in the entire segment. You get a visual cue which is the ladder, an auditory cue of the noise upstairs, and then you get the in-game cue from Luis. And the musical cue is particularly what the remake does best. Like often when it wants to change up the pace during a certain part, they'll simplify the track but make it a bit deeper to build up this new adrenaline.

And every big set piece needs constrasty elements to show different perspectives. I believe just the simple imagery of seeing the mob outside as you're constantly having to kick the ladder is so effective because it shows scale. It makes us actually feel that the problem is as big as it is. It's a smart show of perspective especially after starting the fight in a confined area. This part of it was kind of weird in the og. Even though there's a mob, you could always stare out some window and it'll just be a void there (probably due to the graphical limitations).

But before you even trigger the Bull Head dude's cutscene, like again, you already hear an auditory cue of him. Also his addition makes the scene a true "everything is going to shit" moment. You kinda need that enemy as a standout variety. Like the og is iconic but it's very straightforward with the ambience and the enemy encounter. In the remake, everything is an escalating bombardment to the senses. Especially on the first playthrough, at this point you're on your last leg, no heal, no shotgun/rifle ammo left, the cult chanting is overwhelmingly loud now. It's funny but also apt that when Ashley saves the guys, she's enveloped in this holy light. Even the camera angle that's positioned lower looking up visually puts her in a higher position than the audience.

#this post took me out man. it’s also just way longer than my last analysis 💀#resident evil 4 remake #resident evil 4 #re4r #leon kennedy #re4 remake #luis serra #ashley graham re4 #re4 analysis #re4make

buckle up it’s the annual Jac Has Feelings About Racetrack Higgins post

interesting race take but i feel like race is a Really observant person and is very much a people watcher, head always on a swivel, really eagle-eyed when he’s in public and around people he doesn’t know well, but if he feels safe and comfortable he doesn’t really care enough to notice every little thing.

then again i also think that race is one of those really emotionally intelligent people under the “haha funny comic relief” facade he puts on so he’s rlly good at noticing facial expressions, body language, etc. and can tell when his friends are struggling bc he is So in tune to their “”””normal”””” self and any little change to that is rlly apparent to him! and a lot of the time, he’s not even comforting them- he just gives them a knowing look and a nod and they know that means they can talk to him if they need to.

personally, i dont see race as the kind of person to pull people away from the group to talk about feelings or to hug people out of the blue when theyre upset. like,, just the Acknowledgment that he knows theyre upset is invitation enough to talk to him about it. he’s opening up the floor to any potential conversation but not actively forcing the person or cornering them.

i also feel like he makes it known that he’s kind of shit at advice, so everyone knows that if they talk to race about it, it’s basically just going to be venting. and he’ll ask a few questions and stuff but he’s not going to solve any problems- but sometimes that’s exactly what people need. a place to vent without being told to Fix things. it’s perfectly human to complain and vent and get the big feelings out, and race is always gonna be there for that!

race is just,,, the kind of person to catch your eye in a crowded room and when he knows you’re looking, he’ll raise his chin a little and quirk an eyebrow; that universal expression of “you okay?” is one he falls back on every time. he’s the kind of guy to lounge around while you vent, looking as physically comforting as possible because he wants you to feel like it’s a chill, safe, open space to just get it out. he’ll interject with a few funny little comments now and then (think john mulaney’s “you you want me to kill that guy for you?” bit) but for the most part he’s just silent, nodding along, making little noises to show he’s listening, etc. and i love him for it

#i also have quite a lot of feelings on the way jack charlie and race vent to each other so feel free to ask abt it #i just. wow. i love him a lot and never talk about him #racetrack higgins #newsies #jack kelly #davey jacobs #livesies #newsies musical #newsies live #jac’s headcanons #jac txt.#sometimes i feel scared to talk abt race bc i am not the Well-Known Racetrack Authority #but i love this guy sm. and i have big feelings about him. but i like my friends’ racetracks more

2022 book post FINALLY

this post is six weeks late because, frankly, i was on my honeymoon over new years and its hard to get up the will to type all this shit when everyone has already posted their book lists ages ago!! but also i read a lot of good books last year and wish to gloat, so here we are. italics are rereads, bold are my favorites, asterisks denote not-prose, and reviews are interspersed throughout as i felt like it:

January

No One is Talking About This - Patricia Lockwood (this book made me cry so hard lmao. first part is a sickeningly true-to-life depiction of Being A Blue Check Person and then the second part makes you cry so bad.)

Sorrowland - Rivers Solomon (what the fuck happened to the last third of this book? what shit-ass x-men knock-off did it come from?)

What Soldiers Do: Sex and the American GI in World War II France - Mary Louise Roberts (got on a whole ww2 history kick because, gotta be real, i watched all of band of brothers during winter break 2021-2022 and developed a bug up my ass. pulled this off the shelf at the library on a whim and it was STUNNING. excellently, thoroughly told history of sex, venereal disease, and race among american GIs in normany following the invasion. would read anything roberts now.)

How to Blow Up a Pipeline - Andreas Malm

Hello, Sailor: The hidden history of gay life at sea - Paul Baker and Jo Stanley

Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War II - Allan Berube (another excellent ww2 book, frequently quoted on this site and for good reason. not written by a historian, so incredibly easy and engaging to read, that presents you with just this amazing overview of how modern american queer identity was totally, inextricably shaped by the us military and the experience of being part of it or even just near it lmao)

February

Possession - A.S. Byatt (really really lovely romance that was such a consistent pleasure to read that i got to the end basically unable to remember favorite lines or even scenes i was just like mmmmmmmm. book good.)

Uncanny Valley - Anna Wiener

Howl’s Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones

The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World - Patrick Wyman (this book sucked ass we gotta stop giving podcasters history books)

Watership Down - Richard Adams (so fucked up. loved this. love that we give this to children to read.)

Dead Collections - Isaac Fellman

March

The Hidden Palace - Helene Wecker (much better than its prequel, imho! resolved many pacing issues but lost no heart!)

The Vanishing Half - Britt Bennet (part of the reason i managed to read so much this year is that i had to drive a lot for work and started putting audiobooks on in the car, having never been an audiobook person before. i listened almost entirely to contemporary litfic this way, a genre i also had not previously engage with, and this was both a fascinating entry into an entire other world of books and also kinda boring sometimes lmao. vanishing half was good, certainly better than some of the other stuff i ended up listening to, but still not something i would have finished if i weren't in the car)

The Reformation - Patrick Collinson (this bitch was so funny his preface to the book was 'i didn't list any sources because i've been teaching this topic for 60 years. the source is Me.' anyways almost totally unreadable but did provide me some good context on the counter-reformation, which i want to learn more about.)

Fleischman is in Trouble - Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Home Baked - Alia Volz (soooooo good all bay area homies please read this)

River of Stars - Vanessa Hua

April

Light from Uncommon Stars - Ryka Aoki (INSANE BOOK. SO FUN.)

*Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller

Book of Dust - Phillip Pullman

Gold Diggers - Sanjena Sathian

*Angels in America - Tony Kushner (disconnected me from reality for like 24 straight hours. scared to reread it.)

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (read this in high school and hated it because i was a DUMB TEENAGER!! THIS BOOK IS SO FUNNY!!)

Good Omens - Terry Pratchett

Fifth Elephant - Terry Pratchett

May

Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia (strongly eh.)

ACTUAL PLOT POINT THAT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH METALS ON THE PLANET TO MINT COINS???? reader i lost my mind.)

June

All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy (all the pretty horses my insane high school problematic fave. i will never read the sequels)

Have His Carcase - Dorothy L. Sayers

The Power - Naomi Alderman (as i said on private twitter after rereading, this book makes me sick to my stomach not because of the gender shit, which is like, i know what the book's about that's what it's about it's not gonna be a different book, but christ it's so bleak. love an oral history style but i gave my copy away once i finished lmao.)

Murder Must Advertise - Dorothy L. Sayers

July

Such a Fun Age - Kiley Reid (great audiobook narrator, and a very funny book)

Several People are Typing - Calvin Kasulke (PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS AUDIOBOOK THEY HIRED A FULL RADIO-PLAY STYLE CAST AND SURE THE ACTUAL STORY DOESN'T STICK THE LANDING BUT IT'S SO FUNNY. i finished it on my own and immediately put it back on for emma to enjoy. so good.)

An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us - Ed Yong (ed yong is the best science writer working today and this book was tremendous. i quoted like every other line of it to emma and she still went and borrowed it as soon as i was done. we immediately bought a copy for the house.)

Sheer Misery: Soldiers in Battle in WWII - Mary Louise Roberts

September

Black Sun - Rebecca Roanhorse (damn so much modern sff is bad)

I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life - Ed Yong (not as good as the animal book but still VERY good)

Dark Rise - C.S. Pacat (unfuckingreadable. a masterclass of incoherent bullshit)

Nona the Ninth - taz lol (this should not have been its own book.)

*Ducks - Kate Beaton (cannot recommend highly enough. intense subject matter, also made me cry many times, but holy shit ms beaton you killed it with this one)

total books: 66!!! nice work, me! really enjoyed how much i read in 2022 and how generally varied it was and after a long while of not reading too much at all, it's been very nice being back in the swing of it. also god non-fiction is so good. i can't read it particularly fast but every time i read a good one i enjoy it so immensely. look forward to reading more of it this year!!!

Ngl sometimes i feel bad abt disliking LMK so much because some of my friends like it alot and one of them hyperfixates on it. But then i remember just how badly it fucked up in depicting Sun Wukong's character that im pretty sure even villainous portrayals of him in media have given him more dignity, how Six ears basically got woobified and Karma Houdinied despite the show itself showing him as a pretty fucked up villain in S1, how much the Eng Dub butchered the hell out of the Bull Demon Family's dynamic and that this show basically removed one of the core aspects of the story (Buddhism) and then i suddenly dont feel that bad anymore.

Plus its not like they know my actual opinions abt it. As long as they dont ask i think im good lol

Monkie Kid spoilers & complaining & likely exaggerating things below so avert thine eyes if you don't want to see all that

gterewfs not to add even more to the apparently intolerable trend of bringing up Xiyouji when talking about Monkie Kid but it is kind of funny how I've now seen multiple people say a lot of their dislike of the lego show comes from knowing how Sun Wukong can be depicted when he's not being written as a cringefail hermit (X_X). And as is @seasonalsummers if pressed you can probably just tell your friends that Monkie Kid just isn't your thing & leave it at that. Because yeah I've spoken before how it's not fair to expect people to make their way through the ~1,400 pages of the best English translation of the og classic in developing their sense of the journey and Sun Wukong's whole deal, and the vast diversity of depictions of the Monkey King in retellings does seem to stand testament to how much this monkey can be changed to suit the needs of a story. And as is the existence of Zaju Xiyou Ji does demonstrate how even in China this monkey's had bouts of being depicted as little more than a selfish clown, so maybe this is just the west's version of that lol.

THAT SAID, aaaaaAAAAAAA yeah genuinely is baffling and frustrating watching many people cheer and clap for what feels like the constant traumatization of Qi Xiaotian and the constant use of Sun Wukong as Monkie Kid's punching bag. Like heavens to betsy Flying Bark has so relentlessly focused on how thoroughly SWK screws up everything in both the past and the present and apparently, on his own admission, spent the entirely of his immortality doing little except making one mistake after another (i.e. routinely fucking up his life and the lives of everyone around him) that one really is left wondering why any of the show's cast would want to be even within 50 miles distance of this monkey, which is definitely something made all the more awesome by the sense that maybe the main reason is because the obvious villains of every season are explicitly trying to take over/ blow up the entire world rather than blundering their way into that position :(. And that's a dynamic definitely made even MORE awesome by everyone's favorite poor little meow meow never did anything wrong ever the Six-Eared Macaque spending the majority of his screen time both beating the tar out of Qi Xiaotian and telling anyone who will listen what a dumb bitch Sun Wukong is before the show then bends over backwards to validate his claims all while making sure he's never even slightly called out for the shit he pulls, with the clear favoritism made all the more clearer by such facts as Sun Wukong got screamed at by Long Xiaojiao in an extensive and dramatic scene for putting basically the monkie gang and the entirety of reality in danger through his doofus decisions and yet even though she literally watched the shadow simian beat Qi Xiaotian into unconsciousness and literally had her life seriously threatened by this same monkey until Tang Shifu started oh yeah the Fire of Samadhi ritual she's apparently perfectly fine with working with Mr. Six not long after. Add on top of that the way it now feels like SWK's not even really allowed to be friends with anyone except Macaque or even to interact with any of his other former besties in any meaningful way, and well this is really making for a not fun situation that keeps steering the plot away from some of the most interesting fun and heartfelt things that Monkie Kid could have done. And then on top of that Flying Bark has now shown themselves to have this habit of spending the majority of each season focusing on what a screw-up SWK is before waiting until the last possible episode before characters who up to that point couldn't have made their hatred for the Monkey King and Qi Xiaotian by extension more clear start pulling out abrupt and honestly hand-wavey reasons for why they suddenly like him. IDK! I like a good redemption arc but that's not something you can speedrun and then pretend like it's even remotely satisfying! And definitely doesn't do SWK any favors with the way he just stands there maybe looking kind of sad while someone yells at him for sucking entire before he runs off to suck at everything again and is barely ever allowed to be explicitly and messily upset about that or about what a colossal failure his life is or idk mayhaps what happened to the og pilgrims that apparently resulted in their premature deaths!! For as much as people keep saying they want characters to redeem themselves through living and working to be better and be upset and fucked up about their pasts well it sure might be nice in this situation if we actually got to spend some time on that instead of just relentlessly piling one catastrophic blunder on top of the other! tsetawraer sorry for the rant but yeah still pretty shocked on how much a silly lego show that started off as having fun adventures with the Monkey King would turn into the grimdark adventures of Young Man Traumatized, Asshole Goku, and the Stalker Shadow (X_X)

#ask answered #monkey critical #pour one out for the lego show that would have let swk and his friends find redemption together #and maybe also given MK a smidge of a break

how does nines fall for gavin ;)

(better strap in pal, this went on a lot longer than i realized)

it takes him a long time to realize it, and even then it's hard for him to wrap his head around. For so long Nines has been repressing and hiding every emotion that would've made his superiors question his loyalty to the Empire, so anything other than that would've put him at risk.

He doesn't fully realize he's safe to Feel until Connor takes a moment to repeatedly say to him "You don't have to do that anymore."

But Nines blinked back, and responded with "I don't know how."

so it certainly takes a long time for Nines to finally be able to let himself feel and even longer for him to identify what his emotions are and how to process them. So when he realizes that he's fallen in love with Gavin? To say it blindsides him is an understatement.

Actually, the thought didn't even occur to him until Connor helped him figure it out.

But it starts off slow. Little things, small phrases, minuscule acts of kindness that Gavin would always deny. He's one of the first people to see Nines show interest towards something unrelated to the Empire, a simple decorative brace or tactical belt he caught a glimpse of in a market on some Outer Rim planet while on a job, and Gavin will fight tooth and nail if anyone accused him of going back to the stand and buying it for Nines.

Either way, it's one of the first things Nines owns for himself.

Gavin gives Nines a safe space to feel his emotions, some of the more ugly ones that he doesn't want Connor to see, and Gavin doesn't judge. He claims that he doesn't give a shit about whatever Nines is going through, but it's not easy to lie to a Force-sensitive. So Nines lets him have his excuses. Either way he's still thankful. And who is Gavin to condemn someone for feeling the same emotions he's felt himself?

They're competent together on missions, a deadly mix of trained precision and wild unpredictability with the added bonus of reckless plans and the skill to pull them off. It pisses off the Imperial officers and makes the troops fearfully spread rumors of the Dark Side User fighting for the rebels and his partner with a ship faster than a TIE Interceptor and a deadly aim you won't see coming. And over the missions, both solo and as a team with Connor, Hank, and Tina, Nines begins to find he enjoys sharing space with Gavin. His presence becomes a steady comfort, a reliability and certainty that no matter the mission, he knows that they'll find each other in the end. They're both too stubborn and bull-headed to leave the other behind and too adept in their skills to let something as simple as a unit of Stormtroppers stand in their way of the other.

And that's just how they are.

Often times when Nines has night terrors and can't find it in himself to fall asleep, he can't help but listen and search out Gavin's Force presence. And only after it's found is he lulled back to sleep. Nines finds comfort in Gavin's presence, his words (as crude or harsh as they can be sometimes they tend to hold some truth), his actions, and he appreciates the fact that Gavin doesn't think any less of him because of his past and of what he is. Don't get me wrong, he does at first, for both him and Connor. He could barely tolerate being in the same room as them after breaking Nines out of that Imperial prison. It was a favor to Connor and nothing more, and now they were even, so he didn't owe them anything anymore. But time and retrospect is funny in a way.

And it's not until one day Connor has to basically spell it out for Nines, that hey, I don't want to tell you what you're feeling, but I think you might be falling love.

Nines: I enjoy Gavin's company. He has a steady presence and it's comforting. I can't imagine what my life would look like without him in it. Connor, already suspicious: oh? Care to elaborate? Nines: I know how it sounds, and he may be crude and his words full of anger at times, but I feel happier around him. His presence is so bright and warm. Can't you tell? I fall asleep to it at times. He may seem to have a rough exterior but he is much kinder than he cares to admit. And i hate his reckless behavior and how careless he can be but he can also be equally careful and considerate. I'm sure you've noticed the injured Loth-Cat he's snuck into the ship. Connor: he, what? Nines: If anything were to happen to him, i am quite sure i would fall to the Dark Side completely- Connor: hey Nines: but yes. To restate my earlier point... I don't think i can imagine my life without him. And i never want to. Connor: .... So Nines...

but yeah, those are my thoughts essentially on how Nines falls in love with Gavin. Might have more thoughts later, but for now, i think this is good.

Gavin may have fallen harder, but Nines didn't fall at all. It grew without him knowing.

How each ghoul would react to becoming a magical girl...

prompted by this ^^^,,, i decided it would be funny to write and here i am. featuring my extremely limited knowledge on magical girls.

Dewdrop: he would either fuck it up majorly or be a surprisingly good superhero, I think. I also think he would outwardly shit on the outfits but secretly love them. Somehow, Swiss finds out about this and never lets him live it down. Dew probably told Rain in a moment of vulnerability and then Rain didn’t realise it was a secret lol

Rain: mildly confused by the whole thing. Doesn’t like the outfit sorely because it’s uncomfortable, it hasn’t occurred to him how revealing it is yet. Likes doing the transformation dance thing in his room alone and gets embarrassed if someone catches him doing it. Swiss also walks in on him doing it and proceeds to tease him relentlessly. Dew and Rain form an alliance against Swiss’s magical-ghoul-transformation-related teasing and vow to find something about the situation they can bully HIM about. He would have defensive spells, i think.

Swiss: he would absolutely rock it. I could imagine him slaying a short skirt and thigh highs and stuff like that. But he would get distracted whilst trying to magical-girl-superhero save someone by the ribbons and would probably get tangled in them. On an off-duty day, Dew ties him up in the outfit’s ribbons because he’s a gremlin and him and Rain laugh at him from above whilst he’s stuck on the floor, tied up in ribbons. (It doesn’t have the same impact as Swiss’s teasing because he secretly gets off on it)

Mountain: i think he would want to retain some of his modesty and therefore he would not like the outfit. He would be strong and tall so he can see over crowds and find the source of the trouble to point his bandmates to. He’s basically the watchtower because he hates the transformation, so he finds the problem and sits out the actual fight. He laughs privately at Swiss being tied up and files the image away for later, and consoles him afterwards (Swiss complains loudly about nothing and everything, Mountain nods and smiles and doesn’t listen to a word he says). At some point Swiss will admit to Mountain that he actually enjoyed the experience and will regret that with all of his heart afterwards. (he gets bullied by Dew, Rain, and Mountain about it. Dew and Rain decide justice has been served) Being an earth ghoul, he would also LOVE the dog companion.

Aether: he would actively try to be a good superhero, i recon. He would untie Swiss and reprimand Dew (and Rain, although less harshly). He will always thank Mountain for being the watchtower, and he usually walks the dog companion because most of the time the other ghouls are too lazy. He is a good tank, would probably have a slew of shield spells he can pull out at any time. Also he has no fucking idea what to do with the outfit, when he transforms he is very awkward in it.

Cumulus: does a little dance. She’s the responsible one. Aether and her make a great team, Aether can cover her back whilst she casts offensive spells on the enemy. Her spells are very powerful, but sometimes go a little wayward and blow up the 7/11 by accident. oopsies.

Cirrus: does a little dance. Not the responsible one. Would join in with any party (Dew, Rain, Swiss OR Mountain) to tease the others. Takes it upon herself to irritate Cumulus as much as possible, in a lighthearted friendly way ofc. She teams up with Sunshine and Dewdrop with to commit nefarious deeds (pranking the other band members)

Sunshine: thinks the outfit is cute and likes it a lot. The dog is also a very big plus, she would adore it. Probably she would fight mountain for custody. A supporter, or a healer of some kind. Mountain would also be a healer, but he hates the transformation so much that she learnt some basic healing chants to fill in for him.

Special: He would be the dog.

...

yep that's that. i guess you could say they are magical ghouls. (please laugh at my pun guys)

feel free to send me scenarios like these, i enjoy writing them :)

#the band ghost #nameless ghouls #shut up koi #dewdrop ghoul #rain ghoul #mountain ghoul #swiss ghoul #multi ghoul #aether ghoul #cumulus ghoulette #cirrus ghoulette #sunshine ghoulette #special ghoul #sodo ghoul #sodomizer ghoul #swiss army ghoul #i have to tag all of them its very important to my blog organisation i think #koi thinks about ghost tag #ghoul headcanons

i'm curious: how do you imagine all the slytherin 5th yrs/your ocs in ttdl looking? ie eye color, hair, height, fashion, etc, since regulus isn't really one to take note of these things lmao

excellent use of understatement, regulus is surrounded by magical talking sacks of potatoes of varying sizes and also evan

one thing i want to make clear right off the bat is that in my head, regulus has short hair - i am not against depictions of him with long hair, i just really latched onto it as a visual opposition to sirius afhsglskdfhdskj. like the summary of my mental image of regulus is 'short hair, incredibly buttoned-up all-black clothing'

okay SO. i'm going to kind of radiate outwards from regulus to get an order for how to do this, so let's start with barty:

it's established that he's quite tall, by which i mean over six feet and basically all arms and legs - i think it's amusing to make him rather scarecrow-esque given that he canonically has straw blond hair or smth like that (i don't remember the exact description? and of course it's possible i've made this up lmao i live in a fairly different world from canon). i also think it's funny that he's so much taller than regulus. they were similar heights in first year and then barty just shot upwards and regulus. didn't

i think of him with kind of ambiguously hazel-ish brown eyes

he doesn't need glasses now but oh boy he will. the boy is slowly destroying his eyes with all that nighttime reading

also i will let you in on a secret which is that one of the reasons that i don't often describe what characters are wearing (besides the fact that regulus doesn't really give a shit) is because with many of the characters, my mental image immediately jumps to muggle clothing, but given the worldbuilding of ttdl, they absolutely wouldn't be wearing that

barty is one of these characters. my mind ALWAYS jumps to 'future disheveled professor' and listen, i don't know WHY i keep manifesting khakis, but i do afjlskghskfghjdkjfsk (i think in some ways it's similar to me latching onto short hair for regulus - i like the idea of barty bastardizing business casual, given his father). one thing that CAN translate onto the page (or onto the word doc) is rather haphazardly rolled-up sleeves. barty's basically the only person in that dorm room who ever shows more than an inch of forearm. he rolls up his sleeves to think better

i feel like i've gone over what evan looks like in a fair amount of detail in ttdl, but some details that don't make it onto the page/word doc: he's precisely 2 inches taller than regulus (although they don't know this because neither of them has measured), and my brain is always manifesting either dress robes or a sweater and button down combination. also, this will come up in a future chapter, but evan also wears a heir ring (an heir ring?) - his is gold because the rosiers are just Like That™

honestly a lot of evan's appearance comes from me taking the phrase 'golden boy' and running with it - gold shows up a LOT with house rosier and wow i could talk a lot more about that but! that's outside the scope of this ask, which i don't want to respond to with a million words

ok let's do emma next:

5'9 which renders her the tiniest bit taller than evan

straight black hair that's like... shoulder-blade length? idk how to describe this afjsgkhskfj like - not quite mid-back, but clearly past her shoulders. center part and she usually has it pulled back into a ponytail with a hair ribbon, but it is a relief to actually let it down afhsglshdfj, so occasionally she does a half up/half down to keep it out of her face without pulling it all up

very dark brown eyes

emma is, at her core, a jock, but when she's not wearing either the hogwarts uniform or her quidditch uniform, she tends towards very simple, comfy robes in jewel tones - big fan of greens and blues. sometimes she matches her hair ribbon with her robes but she's not obsessed with doing it (and a lot of the time it's just accidental because she happens to own a lot of green ribbons afjsghsjkfj)

she also likes painting her nails - she's not the type to always have them painted (because she lets the polish chip all the way off before doing more), but she does paint them a lot

she has a necklace that she wears pretty much all the time (she doesn't wear it for quidditch because a chain around your neck when you're flying around and changing directions really fast is a Bad Idea) which her parents gave her for her twelfth birthday - it's a pendant with a calligraphy-style letter E

ok now on to maeve!

literally an entire foot shorter than barty, maybe a little more

long black hair with a center part - if it's getting in her face she's more likely to just deal than she is to do anything about it, but if she Has to do something with it (like if she's in potions and her hair is at risk of dipping itself into the cauldron) then she'll throw it into a ponytail. so she usually has a ribbon or something in her bag just in case

wears a lot of jewel tones because she's a bulstrode, favors purple

maeve likes accessorizing - she's usually wearing earrings and some rings, and she switches it up instead of having Go-Tos that she wears every day. but she's not a huge necklace person - like she's fine with them but they're a special occasion thing for her instead of an everyday thing

however, maeve does not like accessorizing as much as lucinda does. no one likes accessorizing as much as lucinda does. not even heather

WHICH BRINGS US TO LUCINDA

our first person with curly hair! lucinda's hair definitely has a looser curl pattern, but like, it's There. she likes headbands and scarves and rarely uses them to actually keep her hair out of her face. her hair is also black we have a lot of people with black hair in this fic afshlgsjfhdj

lucinda is all about color coordination, she lives for the matching hat/gloves/scarf combo (in which the hat could potentially actually be a headband, but sometimes it's more of a beret thing)

she always manifests in preppy clothes in my head, but like.... 80s prep. but without the shoulder pads

a solid 5'4, which makes her the second-shortest of the slytherin 5th years, maeve being the shortest and regulus being the next tallest

her nails are Always painted

to round out the 5th years before moving on, let's do charlotte:

around evan and emma's height

long brown hair that's usually in one braid, but it's not a super tight braid

charlotte is with emma in the 'simple, comfortable robes' camp, although she does like very flowy sleeves, and then she berates herself for the flowy sleeves because they get in the way as she's writing. many of her clothes have tiny little ink splotches along the cuffs

she likes earrings but doesn't like how the dangly ones get tangled in her hair so she pretty much exclusively wears studs

ALSO manifests to me in the sweater and button down combo for some reason

wow i just want to pause here and reflect on how i keep forgetting to include people's eye colors. anyway maeve has brown eyes, lucinda green, and charlotte brown

ok i'm not gonna do all my OCs in this one post because again i don't want it to be a million words long, so i'll finish up with heather, geoff, and megan!

heather:

coily black hair that's in a bob, but like, a bob with a hell of a lot of layers because triangle hair is a bitch. heather also favors headbands and scarves as hair accessories (the scarves-as-headbands in particular are In at the moment)

so much pink just like imagine pink everything

well not pink EVERYTHING but it's her favorite color and you can tell. even regulus can tell

also heather gets cold easily so she usually has some kind of extra layer - often it's under her robes as opposed to over, but she loves a good blanket cape moment

has simply grown accustomed to all the gray cat hair because it's how priscilla parkinson shows affection (or rather, curling up in heather's lap is how priscilla shows affection, and the cat hair is a natural side effect). like heather knows spells to get rid of it but it Will simply continue to accumulate

geoff:

short brown hair and hazel eyes

he's a little taller than emma, i'll call him like 5'10 (which is also how tall lily is in my head!)

the slytherin quidditch team are clustered as such: regulus is 5'6, theophania is 5'7 (yeah it hurts to be shorter than a third-year but she *is* fourteen and regulus is fifteen and theophania is tall for her age so. whatever), evan is 5'8, emma is 5'9, and geoff is 5'10, and then thomas and megan are the outliers on either side. thomas is like 6 feet tall and megan is... ok i like researched the average heights of 12 year olds to figure this out and then forgot, but i'll call her 5'2

ANYWAY THIS IS ABOUT GEOFF

freckles

also a jock at his core, for some reason i envision him wearing a lot of brown?

sophia warrington is dating him basically solely because he is hot and treats her well

he deserves way better than her rip geoff

throwback to my ao3 tag 'Geoff Pucey (Who I Made Up) Deserves Better'

regulus is literally never going to figure out that geoff is hot

and finally megan:

as i said above, i forgot how tall i made her, but now i'm officially saying she's 5'2. for now. she will grow that's what (most) 12-year-olds do

dark brown hair in two braids and brown eyes

also has freckles. has many more freckles than geoff does, especially when considering that megan is much smaller than geoff

megan is adorable until she smiles and then she's a little menace

figured out how to weave a ribbon into her braids one day and now does it whenever she can - usually green and silver because TEAM SPIRIT BABEYYYYYYY

but she also has a lot of montrose magpies merch because her mom is an assistant coach and megan asks for quidditch merch or gear for Every Birthday

#getting ahead on homework since i'm busy this weekend hell yeah #should i make an inbox tag #dark lord wip #if there are more characters you want me to talk about lmk!!#it was just getting long so i thought i'd cut it off here afjlskghsjfkj

Please i want to know everything about jamie and Daniel tell us everything

daww shucks.....okay

i am tentatively titling this thing "Stay Away from Daniel Creech". because jamie gets told this a lot. and "stay away from the weird mechanic and his creepy shed in the middle of the woods" doesnt have quite the same ring to it. i dont know if i wanna do a normal novel or a visual novel but im getting a little ahead of myself here

Anyway. the gist is. i am basically just distilling out all the things i really really like about those two and making them their own guys…

daniels a sulky, taciturn, and fairly off-putting mechanic in a tiny mountain town. he grows weed out deep in the woods next to his shed, and the word around town is that you stay away from that shed. underneath it all he is a genuinely decent guy who will do shit like "come screamin down the road on his ATV in the middle of a snowstorm to fix an old ladys heater", but he is still, like. the kind of guy who will pull a knife on you in the piggly wiggly if you look at him funny. hes got Layers

and jamie is a little bitch city boy/state official with an unwarranted sense of self-importance, a bad habit of furiously riding his bike instead of dealing with his feelings, and (thankfully for him) a great sense of humor. his car breaks down during a work trip to the mountains…….and now hes stuck there until his car gets fixed. by that same surly mechanic. he ends up staying with a kindly old woman who seems to know or be kin to every fucking person in town…….including daniel creech. her grandson. who shows up to the most uncomfortable family dinner imaginable and glares daggers at him the whole time

the biggest reason why daniel doesnt fuckin like him is that hes used to out-of-towners (and officials from the big city) swooping in, promising to "fix things", and then leaving them high and dry. the whole reason why jamies there in the first place is as part of an initiative to divest that little mountain town from the coal industry and turn it into a trail town, making it more attractive as a tourist destination. (you can imagine a lot of reasons why this might not sit well with a guy who just wants everybody to leave him the hell alone.) and so daniels primary motivation is to drive jamie out.......but hes gotta wait on parts to come in to fix jamies car. which pisses them both off. and gives jamie a good couple of weeks to really sit there and stew in it

at least jamie can still get his work done - the place is small enough that you can walk all the way across it in an hour. so he takes up jogging to get anywhere in lieu of transportation. but the downside is that, in a place like this, people talk. you cant escape anybody b/c where the hell is anybody gonna go? and he keeps running into daniel, or people who know about daniel, and hes gotta keep putting up with awkward family visits. so, inevitably, he ends up hearing from people who both love and hate the guy.......and about daniels shed, deep in the woods, that he needs to stay the hell away from. (an awkward task when jamies constantly doing work out in the woods for his ecological study.)

the way people talk about him sometimes, youd think daniels hiding a fuckin body out there. and eventually, jamie gets it in his head that maybe he is. so he stops listening to everybody. gets curious. goes looking for trouble. and he ends up finding a hell of a lot of it, even if theres no bodies to be found......

also he eventually gets daniel to warm up to him enough to give him rides on his ATV and they go out to the woods and smoke weed. Which i think is cool.

anyway ive written a truly embarrassing amount of stuff for this already so this is just a lil overview. thanks for listening. Bye bye

#writin stuff #sure. ill put this in my tag #safdc

im here to bite other ppls asks and drag them into the woods. also u should talk about lockes relationship with magic and how he knows warriors has his own + messes with it to fuck w him cos its funny ( <- me enabling u to infodump abt ur legend and warriors ideas to tumblr )

my cherished . did u know that i'd live and die and kill for you.

how he magic works :)! locke's magic is a Lot like legend's magic was in my weathered and wavering fic ? sorta sentient in a way. it's a reflection of its host (locke) and exists solely to keep him healthy and alive. even though it's basically a reflection of locke's ideals and personality, i think the interesting thing abt this is that his magic can Disagree w him

usually it's not a huge deal—like i've said after all, magic is always a reflection of their host. disagreements usually crop up when the host is doing something that damages themselves (pushing themselves too hard in a fight, using a spell that will drain them too much) or doing something that the magic thinks will get them killed

magic sorta teams w up that barrier in ur head that keeps u from taking the leap of faith over that ravine in the forest; that moment of hesitance where your legs freeze and you doubt the probabilities that you'll come out of this alive—that's the magic in ur system, pulling you back, begging u to take the longer, safer path. it teams up w fear as well; plants your feet to the ground when ur about to walk into something dangerous, urges u to turn around and tells u that it's not safe here. it's not doing it to burst ur bubble or anything, it's just doing it to keep u alive

BUT THAT'Snot rly the important part. the point is locke has magic that's almost like another Being in his system. everybody's magic is like this. it has intelligence and emotions, just,,, to a lesser degree than humans ? not sure how to describe it. it's somewhere between a human and an animal's intelligence. not quite as equiped as a human, but definitely smarter than ur average animal

locke can talk to his magic !!! they're buddies . the disagreement thing can also extend to instances where ur like,,, unsure of what to do ? or how to feel abt something ? magic is sorta the "physical" representation of that. locke thinks one way, his magic thinks another, and then they sorta argue it out and try to make sense of the mixed feelings. they're a lotta cool stuff u can connect that to :)

another general rule to this lil universe is that if locke enchants an object too much or too fast, the magic will sorta congregate and,, let the item gain sentience. that's why it's VERY important to never just enchant shit willy-nilly. locke is very careful not to reach that limit

(makes ya think . does that mean every living being is just a Thing that was given so much magic by mother nature that it gained a human-level mind and intelligence ..,, hm. won't sleep tonight)

the only thing he wasn't so careful with is his staff, since that was pretty much the first weapon he enchanted a Lot and he was young and unaware of the dangers. nowadays, his staff Does have some semblance of a mind !!!! it's very subtle, tho

the moments of awareness from his staff are few and far between, and honestly, it mostly helps locke out instead of hinders him. the staff is aware of its surroundings only sometimes, and it'll occasionally shove locke out of the way of an attack he doesn't see or nudge him to alert him of ambushing enemies he doesn't notice. it'll also very rarely stab monsters For locke if he's in a bind. occasionally it will swivel around to listen to the chain when locke's name or the staff itself is brought up, like it's perking up and paying attention (it freaks the chain out . VGEAIUV)

locke mostly just enjoys seeing its small moments of awareness, and he can tell the staff is fond of him. he's not dumb enough to enchant it more, cuz that could definitely cause problems, but he figures this is fine <3

another small thing: locke can read other people's magic and it can tell him a lot about them. he knows everybody's dark world forms (yes, he is immediately aware of the wolfie and twi deal). he can sense lingering magic on people based on what sorta spells and items they use (he doesn't even rly need magic to know the deal w four bc of his game, but his magic aids him further in knowing that there r actually four people in that little body . wow). again, he doesn't need magic to know this since he's already aware of what the fierce deity is and looks like, but it gives him proof that time's face markings are from the fierce deity mask itself and the deity's aura still lingers there a little

AND YEAH . YES. wars doesn't have a whole lot of magic and can't rly do any fancy spells beyond use a fire rod, but locke can definitely sense his. when they're sitting together locke likes to swirl his own around him and watch wars shift around and adjust himself trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong w his body rn GVYIEAGVIA he can sense locke's magic there, but wars isn't educated in the matter and doesn't Know that's magic, he just knows there's a Presence here and it's Fucking with him

cue wars seeing his grin and him going "are u fuckin w me?" locke giggles sm . dw wars thinks it's funny too

#qktalks #nitroish #suncaster locke #fun game take a shot (of water) every time i said magic in this post #TY BELOVED . i'd fucking live for u #adore rambling abt him he's mywonderful warlock boye.............#just a silly lil magic guy .

You probably get this question a lot, but what aspects of Kou’s character make you love him so much?

(Tbh I didn’t pay much attention to him when I first got into DiaLovers but after reading your fics I really like his character a lot more lol.)

i have literally never gotten this question before so thank you. and thank you for reading my fics! i absolutely LOVE writing kou so much and i'm glad people like it. sometimes i worry i'm angsting him out too much and then i just remember his dark fate. he deserves all the love he can get ;;

i'm putting this under a cut because it's really long and has some tw

// mentions of suicide, CSA and drug abuse

His character design

starting off really basic but kou is really fucking pretty. i love his character design, his eyes are pretty, his hair is kinda dumb but cute, and he's so fruity?? the way he dresses and stands??? you can't tell me he's straight. he looks so good in all the art, he can pull of anything.

i recently got a BUNCH of kou merch on buyee for a really good price and i put it along my walls like this and damn

His voice

ryouhei kimura does such a good job with kou i think. he captures the way he can go from chirpy and happy to EXTREMELY angry in a split second. i gotta be honest i used to find kou's voice really annoying and it was like, the one thing that let me down. but then i listened to his more blood drama CD and damn. daaaaaamn. he's got such a range. honestly i love hearing kou angry lol. he's got such a sexy angry voice i can't take him seriously. and the way he says really simple things super over the top.

i also fucking love devil's spire with every part of me. i listen to it several times a day, every single day.

His humour

he's got a weird sense of humour, it's almost a bit morbid. like he talks about really serious things really jokingly. he calls yui silly nicknames and jokes with his brothers. some of the shit he says really makes me laugh even if it's not meant to. his drama CDs are great too, he's really overly dramatic and it's so funny.

His history with drug abuse

i don't think anyone wants to hear me talk about this any more because i've also written about it here and here but just know that the fact he did drugs in CANON makes me over the moon. i have such a fascination with drugs and writing characters as either recreational drug users or drug addicts is my favourite.

kou just fits it perfectly?? so far i've written him abusing heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and MDMA, and i've hinted at him being an alcoholic in another fic. i can do so much with him. but it really draws me to his character. i wanna do drugs with kou so bad.

His further angst potential

like i said, kou's dark fate is a personal favourite. i think we see him at his lowest and most vulnerable. nothing broke me more than when ruki (you dick) breaks him apart from yui. and there's that flashback to him talking to karlheinz. and he's standing on the balcony, he says to himself "i can't see my blue sky anymore" then jumps off the fucking balcony. my guy tried to unalive because he was hurting so much.

not to mention his history of suicide attempts. i might be mistaken about this but i'm pretty sure kou is the only character who actively tried to commit suicide, and multiple times at that. his history with child assault too. we all know i'm a total slut for heavy, heavy angst. making kou severely unstable and on the verge of snapping all the time is really good if you want to write some dark shit.

he has such an unbelievable amount of trauma and it really shows. the fact he had to be given a magic eye in order to be able to simply trust someone because his trust was just that badly broken. i'll die on the hill that kou had borderline personality disorder too, i've written more about bpd here.

and that's not to mention seeing him having nightmares and stuff in more blood, and the struggles he has in lost eden.

one last thing which i don't think i've seen anyone say before, while i'm on the kou angst wagon - i know it's probably not this deep but. the implication that kou can't undo buttons himself because he was never the one undressing himself as a kid... ah...

The blue sky metaphor

kind of ties into the above point but the blue sky metaphor means a lot to me. essentially kou always thought it was something physical - like, the sky itself. but then karlheinz points out that it's something to live for. the blue sky thing is something to trust with everything, someone to live for. something always there - the fact he used drugs as a kid to find that first is pretty sad too. and then yeah, trying to leave this world when he can't see his blue sky, in which case it's yui.

uh, linking back to the previous point though, that's angst potential. he's very heavily co-dependent in a relationship.

I'm lowkey a kou-kinnie

i have a kou tattoo with the "you're my blue sky" quote and the lilies covering my arm for a reason. there's a lot of personal stuff i relate to - from seeking comfort in drugs to desperately searching for a reason to live, something to cling onto. there's a lot of thought cascades he shows which (correlate to BPD) i relate to, and kou does some pretty shitty things to yui when he doesn't know any better. i've said some nasty things similar to what kou has said although i unfortunately relate to laito on this front a lot more.

His relationship with Yui and Subaru

if we push aside the co-dependence part so i can say something positive and not sad for once, he forms relationships pretty well once he's gotten through the not-trusting stage. especially with the help of the eye. i keep going on about his dark fate but I Just Love His Dark Fate Okay. when he cries to yui telling her that she's his blue sky when they're reunited. when he tries so hard to learn to communicate and protect her and he even becomes quite good at apologising lol.

i don't have to explain why i love subakou. everyone knows i love them. but i really love them. look at the DEVELOPMENT from the first picture here to the second. i think about this so often.

i guess on that topic, i'm a huge softie for the mukami's brotherhood too. i'll always think back to the beginning of azusa's more blood when kou warns yui that azusa is the problem child. like, no, YOU'RE the problem child, kou. that's u.

there's probably more to say but goddamn i love him so much.

#ask #anon #can u tell i love him #he's the best #he needs therapy so bad #sometimes i like to imagine him meeting my therapist and hoooh boy she'd shred him to pieces

i got 0.001% validation so i’m doing what i want

emily and eddie are both easily the most affectionate and verbal about things like compliments and feelings. affection is actually one of the few emotions that emily is open with lol. they’re both the most likely to just be looking at one of the others and be like “wow.... you’re gorgeous” and list off all the reasons they’re attractive immediately. emily is hugely physically affectionate and enjoys frequent physical touch a lot. eddie is a cuddle fiend.

billy is a huge brat but he’s also very physically affectionate. yes he is making up for years of lacking it how can you tell? he’s less verbally affectionate than the rest, especially in public. but also the most possessive. also the horniest. don’t ask me who comes next on that list i cant tell you it might be a 3 way tie. he’s the most chaotic switch of the group what does he want? great question, pull out your billy instruction manual and find out what the secret code means. slips into subbiness with emily though because their first instinct is soft dom and he’s you know... a weak bitch for that actually. most of his make outs with eddie are music listening hangouts turned dom kissing battle lol most likely to hang out with steve in a casual sense, like besties. usually ends horny tho so not besties.

steve sometimes looks at the situation and is like “how the fuck did i get here?” he went from breaking up with his gf to developing a crush on his friend who he thought was a girl to realizing he also was into this new guy in school and then he was making out with his partner’s ex?????? and they’re all weird compared to him. he’s baffled. but it’s also a fuck ton of fun and feels right. didn’t realize he needed the kind of emotional validation they all individually give of their own free will until he got it. domestic king. he loves doing basic ass couples shit so much. the most vocal about his feelings and the most flirty. genuinely enjoys letting emily and eddie explain nerd shit bc they’re very funny when they do it. prefers to sleep with someone in bed with him. he and eddie do mst3k-esque movie roasting whenever they’re put next to each other in a theatre or at home. the least kinky (?)

emily’s forever cursed to be the most responsible in every situation even when they don’t want to be and ends up being the “leader” when it comes to like practical shit or breaking up ties and things. also the most likely to be the sub. big shocker fdsgdsgds. finds a lot of satisfaction in looking after the guys but gets blushy and flustered when they take care of them. so naturally they do it a LOT and enjoy the rare of a not composed ems. probably the easiest to get into bed despite not being the horniest. it’s a combo of the loving physical affection and enjoying caring for them. gives everyone a million kisses. they and eddie started their sexual careers and bdsm exploration together when they dated and their curse is eddie #exposing them to the others. acts like they don’t like it or how touchy especially eddie and billy can get when they’re all hanging out but then never stops them lol

i’m a dom!eddie truther and i’ll die by this sword. he’s extremely good at doming too. ironically from dming in the sense that he’s very good at pacing a scene, reading the energy in a room and adapting to it, planning ahead etc etc. you know, things you need to be able to control and manage people and roleplays. extremely good at dirty talk because he’s morally against filters but isn’t really into degradation. also the most laid back about literally everything. loves annoying the shit out of billy bc it’s funny as fuck. best listener in the bunch. tends to act as a calming force on emily while steve more a partner and billy more an accomplice. lights up a room and is great at lightening up a situation. unironically likes it when billy flops on top of him when he’s hogging the couch.

#train.txt #billy x emily x steve x eddie #i could go on but this is already hugely long lol #this post is for 2 people everyone else i'm sorry #tho i mean you did follow my blog so idk what to tell you it's like 90% me talking about this shit
