so uhhhh those pics of hj in the suit at the hotel give pre wedding energy…if that gives you any kind of fic inspiration…

hongjoong getting ready for his wedding. this man will be in some sort of designer suit. like head to toe, it’s designer. i mean, it’s hongjoong so.

imagine him at the hotel getting ready on the day of your wedding. the rest of ateez are there to support him, to help him get prepared for the event ahead. he’s absolutely a sight in his suit, his hair fixed, a fancy watch on his wrist. his empty left ring finger that he keeps staring at, thinking about how in just while there will be a ring there, and he’ll be a married man. he’s so giddy the whole time he’s getting ready, body humming with nerves and excitement. he’s recounting his vows in his head, but seonghwa assures him that he’s got a copy of the written vows. the rest of the boys giving him pats on the back and encouraging words. wooyoung making a comment about how gorgeous you’re gonna look, and hongjoong’s head becoming occupied by you. he’s so ready to see you in your pretty white dress. he might burst if he doesn’t see you soon. hongjoong texting you periodically during down time while he still waits at the hotel. you don’t respond — you’re busy getting ready of course — but he sends them anyway. he sends things like “god i can’t wait to see you baby” “you’re going to be so beautiful” “i love you more than anything” “ready to be mrs.kim?” “i’m so lucky i get to marry you”.

hongjoong letting his mind wander to what happens after the wedding, when he gets to have you, his bride, all to himself. he thinks about getting to make love to you for the first time as husband and wife. all the things he’s gonna do to you, starting with carefully pulling your wedding gown down your body. he wonders if you’re wearing lingerie underneath. and god, it’s a lot, and he has to be careful when he starts feeling his trousers become a little snug.

hongjoong crying despite his best efforts not to when he finally sees you. he’s just so in awe of you; you’re literally the most stunning person he’s ever met. buries his face in your neck when he hugs you to hide his tears, which ends up getting caught on camera by the photographer, and turning out to be such precious photos. hongjoong will totally cradle your face when he kisses you after being announced husband and wife. and he absolutely does not let go of your hand the entire wedding. you’re inseparable.

hongjoong being antsy to get you to the hotel. because he needs you all to himself. his touches are sneaky during the reception, growing braver the needier he becomes. there’s alcohol in his system, and he just can’t help himself. being absolutely reverent with you on your wedding night. the amount of love between you two fills up the whole hotel room. saying “i love you” over and over against your skin.

#this isn’t a fic per se but anon you’ve put the bug in my head and now i’m sitting here head full of groom!hongjoong #hongjoong hard thoughts #hongjoong x reader #anonymous

more adventures of little sonic and tails!!! i think an early way for them to bond when they weren’t as comfortable with each other was sonic brushing through and cleaning tails’ matted fur after battles. there is just so much fluff there is no way tails can do it on his own, and he’s still fairly young so he. he’s not the best at it. (he prefers sonic to do it anyways bc he likes the attention + it’s a comfortable way for sonic to show affection without having to be too touchy)

also sonic 100% feels bad that in having tails travel with him he has sorta forced the kid to grow up quicker than he should have too. so he gets him a little fox toy early on and poorly sews on an extra tail to help tails feel better about himself!! it falls of frequently and they eventually have to get help from Vanilla to help keep it on but it’s a gesture tails thinks about a lot esp as he gets older

#tails doesnt realize sonic sewed the extra tail on even if it is super obvious #i imagine all of this is super early on in their relationship #around when tails turns five maybe even earlier #so still very much little kids #and i think sonic grooming tails is just something that continues on into their adulthood #i imagine theres a rough patch in their relationship when tails gets into his teens #and as theyre re-bonding its an interaction they easily fall back into even if tails is all big and lanky at that point #im working on a fic abt their early years that includes these ideas in them <3 #sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #tails the fox #wdym u dont like my bug art

let's talk BL manga lore; on grooming, identity, and racism

spoilers for the official captain laserhawk bl manga ofc, plus brief discussion of grooming I've refrained from speaking about it because of spoilers, but it's been well over a month and I believe that it's time to openly discuss it. if you would still like to read the manga before reading this discussion, here's the link to buy a physical copy and you can search up 'Captain Laserhawk: Crushing Love' in your digital book store for it. okay time to talk about two, basically three subjects; racism, identity, and grooming. i'm starting with the grooming first, because that's the main focus of this manga. i would have to preface this by saying i've already discussed this topic in an earlier post (albeit it is a prediction, but it is a spot on prediction.) i'll briefly elaborate on it right now with what we know.

dolph's very first day with alex was carefully calculated to where dolph would be exposed to the world, but heavily rely on alex. he is shown around to alex's friends and is able to buy his own clothes, but it is under the heavy scrutiny of alex. alex ultimately decides what dolph wears, alex decides how the day goes, alex leads dolph. even when they have a beach day, take note of how alex holds dolph, dragging him around.

even the romance and the events leading up to when alex takes dolph's virginity are calculated. note how alex grasps dolph's hand, grabbing on tight enough to almost press down on his knuckles, loosening his hand, making dolph relinquish control. the context for the fight page is that after their sweet lil beach day, alex takes dolph down an alley where alex knows that he'll come across people who aren't the fondest of him. this event was calculated, alex knew it was going to happen, and he used it to test out his new lil boytoy.

also, alex taking dolph out to fight isn't just so he can get in the pants of a barely 18 year old. while holloway notes during this flashback that adrenaline is the greatest aphrodisiac, this is a test to see how good the new weapon he picked up is. how the new boy works, to see how eden's boy robot can benefit his group, not just him. its literally in the morning panels we get where alex talks with that woman, anna. they're talking about how loaded he is with tech, and while alex does consider that, he still actively thirsts over dolph.

also im jus saying if i personally was talking with one of my greatest confidants and they refer to someone i'm thirsting over as KID, i would personally be icked out. i would have a conscious and not do some weird shit, like literally refer to dolph in passing as kid in the next page. dolph aint even the first one who alex has done this shit to, as evident by this line by one of his friends, grace.

alex is a groomer and groomed dolph, case closed.

anyways! time to get on with what i really wanted to talk about, how racism and loss of idenity ties into dolph's character!

in this manga, during pillow talk between dolph and alex, we get dolph's backstory. dolph literally has only known this man for a day and he's giving him lore because alex treats him more normal than eden did. god. ANYWAYS ENOUGH DWELLING ON DOLPH BEING A VICTIM IN ALL WAYS INCLUDING BEING ONE OF THE OXFORD STUDY, we get to know about his brief life before eden took him in.

now let me turn for a moment to the show, and how we were told about dolph's backstory. this is VASTLY different than what we got in the show, with it being implied that dolph's parents were a white prostitute and a darkskinned immigrant man. this adds onto the idea that this supposedly impoverished, crack addicted boy came into this world not as an act of love, but as a mistake. not just a mistake though, his parents are supposedly the epitome of immoral, a prostitute and a criminal. not to mention that this also ties into the idea of the uncultured brown man and pure white woman, basically a racist idea that the scary immigrants who aren't like us good white christian americans (and honestly jus any homogenous group in general, though in america its ofc more applicable to white people), are corrupting our mother marys, our women. eden takes on this perspective in order to subconsciously frame in the minds of post american viewers the idea of this man as an other that they are helping and didn't at all snatch up from his mother for child experimentation. the concept of other is something that finds it's origins in fascism, and in order to mask the presence of said fascism, someone who is seen as apart of the other is given a seat at the table with the collective us, (as in the majority, or the ones that are supposedly superior), and will ultimately serve as an example of why the other are labelled as such. i go into this more with my rayman analysis. I brought up the specific portrayal of dolph's backstory from eden's documentary to showcase how eden has manipulated the view people have of this man. eden has not only manipulated the view of the in universe audience, but eden has manipulated our view.

in the propaganda documentary, we are shown photos of this man being a captain, someone of relatively high rank in the military. you can't even normally earn that through having an education, you'd have to have years of experience. he's portrayed as older than he is.

another thing, dolph fans, let's be honest with ourselves; before the manga, it was not uncommon to headcanon that man as a FREAK. with both the supposed images of dolph at a nightclub and the flashback of alex and dolph meeting outside a club, it wasn't too hard to think that the hottest man alive in that show who was fully born human was a freak. a sexual deviant. someone that a christian mother would be horrified enough by that she faints. the manga however, shows us that dolph really isn't any of that. hell, he didn't even get to go to a club before he met alex. in reality, he's around 18 years and his only sexual experience is his groomer.

say that again with me, he's around 18. he's just around 18, he's a young adult, and the environment he's grown up in has stunted him by treating him as a subject, a thing, cutting him off from anything that would humanise this child by not allowing him to see his mother. hell, even his childhood best friend serves eden by being the one in his ear, having him at her beck and call all in the name of eden.

we get none of dolph's true backstory in the show for any number of reasons. maybe it's on purpose, maybe it's a result of having to possibly cut down episodes, who knows? what matters though is that this adds a layer to the core problem defining dolph's life; the perspective others have on him warping who he is.

back to the pages with dolph's memories of his mother, we see dolph as he was when he was just a boy. he's his mama's boy, her son, a child. even when eden takes him in, he stubbornly clings to that bit of him that's pure, untainted by the idea of him being an experiment, a tool. this bit of him, this hint towards who he is supposed to be as a person, is something he clings to desperately. it leads him to follow eden's orders again because they promise that they've found his mother.

and yknow what happened with who dolph was told was supposedly his mother?

she was just a random ass indian woman.

wasn't even the right woman. they just used his identity issues because he's indian, and she was indian and in a cult that eden needed to take care of.

this, while admittedly is kind of funny, (like the confusion is funny in the moment look at ts) is actually fucked up crazy racism. they literally said that this random ass woman who happened to be indian was his mother like HELL!?!??!?!?

this insane fr. lucy didn't even double check LIKE GIRL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FRIEND'S MOTHER WHO HE HASNT SEEN SINCE HE WAS LIKE 6 AND YOU DIDNT EVEN DOUBLE CHECK IF SHE'S THE RIGHT PERSON?!?!?!?

moving on from that, this actually brings up a deeper layer of dolph's identity issues; the lack of cultural identity.

i want to preface this by saying that i am not entirely sure if this is the right term for this identity issue nor am i claiming to be an expert on the type of identity crisis that i am about to discuss. that being said, this specific disconnect of cultural identity that dolph has is actually reminiscent of those adopted from other countries, or transnational adoptees. there seems to be a need within these adoptees to find out more about their own heritage or their own mothers and families that they now struggle to find. while dolph does not actively go out to reconnect with his heritage, he does exhibit desires to find his birth mother. this type of identity issue seems to ask the question of 'what could I have been if...?,' and it tends to mess with the idea of the self. adoptees that struggle with this question hold a desire to go back, to almost reclaim what would have been. yes, dolph is not adopted into a family, but he is still a child under the care of eden, which became like his family, which is why i believe that this kind of identity issue could reasonably be applied to dolph. it explains why he does what he does in the manga, and how it's ultimately wrapped up by him losing this desire and moving forward. albeit he moves forward by alex instead becoming his main purpose, but this serves as the first chain of the past that he leaves behind. with this, he severs a tie that would have made him continue to be stuck under eden's control, and possibly find himself. he answers the question of what could have been with 'it doesn't matter anymore.'

but actually, he doesn't answer that question. he leaves it be.

i am reading way too into this tho lol. i would say that he doesn't explicitly say it, and that we do see a lack of dolph's past being used against him in that way because dolph has freed himself from that part, but in reality, it's because eden can't pull the same trick twice. im aware that the manga focuses HARD on dolph's grooming, but i feel like they really could have properly wrapped up dolph's identity arc with his mother if it was acknowledged at the end, but i fear we are left unsatisfied. that's one of my gripes with the manga. it gives us things that tie up loose ends, but some of these ties have entirely missed the holes they were supposed to secure. but what is done is what's done, and here we are.

tl;dr, dolph was groomed by alex. dolph's identity has also been warped by eden heavily, by how they dehumanised him as a child to be a weapon internally, to how he's shown to the public to be a case that they've saved, and yet he still becomes something that is "disgraceful." textbook example of this poor boy that we have saved that is actually jus like all the others that we know. dolph also suffers under similar identity issues as adopted children do, and this specific issue of his is let go in order to allow him to begin moving on and finding himself.

as always, im open to discussion and critique! my askbox is open as well if you want me to yap abt smth else in the show :P

As promised, an update now that both Bug and Bunny are safely back home from the vet. Turns out there's honestly not much to tell you. Bunny thankfully didn't end up having any more episodes or showing any worrying behaviours, and after checking everything over a second time, they're almost certain that the lizard or snake that she ate part of, was what caused the seizure in the first place. Something I honestly didn't know was possible, despite being aware that some reptiles are toxic for cats, but I guess you learn something new everyday.

Bug was his usual menace self while at the vet, and even attempted to make a move on an elderly cat that they were watching for the night, despite no longer possessing the necessary parts to actually do anything about his infatuation. Apparently she proceeded to give him a thorough enough verbal dressing down, with a few additional educational swats just for his sheer audacity, that he ended up sulking the rest of her stay. He went right back to being his usual dramatic yelling self soon after, and made sure to inform everyone of his ill fated would be romance on the train ride back home.

They've both since settled down for a well earned nap after the stress of the strip and the tiring ordeal of removing the scent of the vet from each other.

As an apology for my being such an insufferable stress head throughout this whole thing, please enjoy four straight minutes of the fluffballs noisily grooming each other after arriving home. Once again I apologise for the irritating screaming of my aircon, there's nothing I can do to fix it.

Enjoy 🖤

#mod speaks #Bug and Bunny #I'm not kidding it really is 4 straight minutes of the most obnoxiously loud grooming you've ever heard #it's rare for them to be still long enough or me to get photos or videos though. so... yeah #THIS is the damn post that vanished on me the other day! It suddenly popped back up as I was trying to retype it today #only with the second half missing #unfortunately since I'm still not certain what caused this whole mess I've decided to post it as is #Sorry Darlings. and thank you for being so patient #Oh and I apologise for any typos. I can't really go back and edit it at the moment

Ok important question, how/do the aliens kiss? Like does the species kiss or have something with the same meaning?

they don't kiss in the way we would think about it, since they don't have mobile lips and have much larger mouths, but they do a lot of like. head nudges, nose touching, rubbing their faces together, that kind of thing. individuals with a lot of experience with humans - particular how humans expression affection/desire - will pick up more habits akin to kissing, depending on their partner - gentle bites, licking, etc.

they also have very long tongues, so do with that information what you will.

#i think culturally they do a lot of like. grooming #and scale care and things for their families and partners #and their ideas about what consistutes an 'intimate' touch (non-sexual) are slightly different #when they're with their friends and family they tend to be very physically touchy #also bc there's levels of communication that come from like. pheromons and sub-vocal frequency sounds and stuff so they like to be close #so they can hear each other #like being able to see your partner's face and knowing what they're thinking #they don't do very many facial expressions so they aren't very good at reading human faces but they ARE good at body language #and a big part of that is touch #so touch averse operatives are going to have some interesting conversations if they're romancing rhaxa #rhaxa has Read Books he knows humans don't like to be grabbed and have their faces touched he is being very good about that rn #but. yeah #sorry u said the magic phrase (asked me about the bugs) so u get an essay #anon #bug lore

Lilina for the anon ask.

YESS SOMEONE ASKED FOR LILINA.

I SAID DUO HEROES COUNT SO HERE IT IS:

Look how cute she is! She’s an absolute doll! The ONLY Duo Heroes that got inventive with their iteration of chosen heroes, with great expressions, posework that has the heroes interacting physically with each other (Hector holding Lilina), a fun design, and great lighting and shading. And the trademark Wada Sachiko eyes, mostly on Lilina.

If you guys don’t like that answer though, I pick Azu-taro as a runner-up:

#Fire Emblem Heroes #FEH #ask game #I know this one will bug a lot of people but I can’t help it! It was the ONLY creative Duo Heroes we got! #Everyone else played it too damn safe! #The groom banner could have given us older Eliwood!

#he’s not right or just in everything he did but he genuinely had good intentions and carried the weight of thinking he could end unnecessary #shinobi deaths via war before finding out it was all a LIE anyways #(and he fought to right his wrongs once seeing the lie!) #obito would have faced so much discrimination as a kid simply due to the fact he is an uchiha in an anti uchiha world AND genuinely saw the #horrors of what a cruel and messed up world the shinobi lived in to have to be used as pawns of war and kill other shinobi #on top of that he was manipulated and groomed to believe that he could genuinely fix it and end all fighting and death of shinobi……… #and yet all he’s reduced to is an incel. i’m so tired #rin was the breaking point but was not the reason he tried to do the infinite tsukuyomi…. he just didn’t want anymore ppl to die #i feel like obito is one of the most misunderstood characters #was just talking about this with a mutual but it’s so true #like he’s not entirely good and he’s not entirely bad but… he is sillay! #lol #anyways maybe i’ll make a full post about him later but i cba rn #there’s so much more to talk on tbh #idk i’ve been really coming around to obito lately… he’s just so silly and he sucks so bad he’s amazing…… can’t help it lol #jitter bugs u #naruto

You watered your garden

And I grew

But you destroyed me

Grabbed me by the roots

Plucked my petals

Just like the devil would do

And If I'm going to hell I hope that you go too

I'm pure I'm pure

I'm pure as a lamb

I'm heavens little virgin

Too holy for man

I'm glass I'm fire I don't know hate

And that's how I'll get to the pearly gates

Now I feel dirty

Look what you did

I wasn't an object I was a kid

And I'm scarred I'm mangled I am used

And all of this because of you

craziest thing abt the minor anon is the fact that they think all minors think like they do 😭 plus older people generally take advantage of the more naive kids, so it might not happen to YOU but it could happen to SOMEONE. and even in saying that, you could think a large age gap and all of the other stuff is bad irl, but sometimes it’s so so hard as a teen to distinguish real feelings from infatuation or manipulation and to easily turn a blind eye. and this is definitely not coming from experience 👀

anyway just wanted to rant, totally respect if you decide not to reply or carry the minor convo on 😌

IT DIDNT SIT RIGHT WITH ME BC I FEEL ESSENTIALLY WHAT THEY SAID BOILS DOWN TO "ok so if a minor thinks age gap relationships are ok don't u think that's on them ??" which is SO IGNORANT TO THE ISSUE ?? like yes, in an ideal world everyone would stop to think hey !! this 17 and 25 year old relationship is quite odd !! and very unsafe !! but the reality is that young and naive people exist and they are VICTIMS and we should not blame them !! they need adults and proper support systems to guide and teach them to know and understand better. and likewise, media can be influential and its an adult's responsibility to warn and explicitly tell minors they are not welcome to consume this content—if they don't listen, that's beyond our control but its certainly the adult's responsibility to try !!

#asks! #tw age gap #tw grooming #idk that ask just.....didnt sit right w me for a number of reasons and i wanted to ignore it but honestly it bugged me HAHA so i felt the #dire need to say something #also i am so very sorry that happened to you and i hope you had / have the support u need !!

the very long draft of the atla prequel fic i’ll never write

- title idea: oh, brother were art thou ?

- focuses on : iroh and ozai’s dynamic from childhood to the day he marries ursa. includes extras and dives into the fire nation royal family dynamic but it’s mostly about those two.

- inspirations: cain and abel’s story, the ballad of songbirds and snakes.

- characters included: iroh, ozai, azulon, the firelady ilah, ursa, iroh’s wife, ozai’s mistress. ( they will be named )

- characterizations :

iroh — sometimes we forget that iroh was the general. the warrior. the brother most familiar with blood and violent. iroh’s characterization should not shy away from that but also keep a core of goodness and questioning. he’s the one who should have a more reflexive internal monologue. it should be a growing difference between what he believes is right and what he actually does to the point where it breaks. the breaking point will not be part of the fic but it should be seeds planted yk? inspirations : regulus black, jaime lannister / faceclaim ideas : remy hii

ozai — the make or break character and the easiest to screw up ( i think ), too evil and the heart of the story is gone and iroh just looks stupid for loving his evil brother, not evil enough and it’s not ozai. his arc is not a corruption arc but the story of a man realizing he can get away with any atrocious act he decides to commit, his internal monologue lacks the reflexive nature of iroh’s, ozai never pounders on the right and wrong of an act only on how that could benefit him. as the brother who stayed home, ozai’s battle is mostly weeding out plots and schemes, of court drama and seizing power. inspirations: coriolanus snow, tom riddle, fc ideas: sebastian amoruso ( i know he played jet stfu ), dylan wang

firelord azulon — an absent father, i don’t care how his reign was, he is the definition of trying to rule with only force and falling ( being disliked by both high rankings and the people ), hard power ! he’s more of representation of a fire nation that looks down on weakness ( non-benders, women, children ) inspiration: tywin lannister

firelady ilah — a cruel mother who loves power but can possess none because she’s a woman so she tries to teach her sons her form of strength, manipulations, secrets, blackmail, iroh had more aptitude but he was azulon’s general so she had to make do with ozai ( who refuses to learn but will eventually ), she’s the bitterness of a fascist woman in a fascist man’s world. she’s frustrated in all ways possible and that bitterness turns to wickedness. inspirations: alicent hightower if she was like her haters think she is, morgana, walburga black. fc ideas: michelle yeoh

lady ursa — poor lady ursa, i haven’t read to comics and i don’t buy they are cannon so here’s my characterization of the pookiest of pookies. lady ursa was the daughter of important people, think courtiers, who never really wanted a child, ursa was also raised in palace along with many other high borns. she was also younger than ozai and a talented herbalist. she wanted to marry him and do her duty, he was good looking and a prince and she was barely sixteen. and she wanted out of her parent’s grasp. probably one of the most unlucky people in the story. at first ignored and humiliated before their marriage and after abused and controlled. inspirations: katherine howard / fc claim ideas : ashley liao, lola tung

aliya ( ozai’s mistress ) — this is a very self indulgent character bc i like parallels and the hope that some air nomads survived in secret and had children. aliya is this concept with the addition that she’s a performer on ember island who would really like a bridge to her ancestor’s culture and past but also probably is acutely aware of how she’s not the airbender she should be. she’s a dancer, she’s an acrobat, she’s artist, she’s vain and attached to material desires and smarter than she looks but also still just a girl trying to keep herself alive and her secrets secret. ( yes, ozai lowkey kinda kills her or at least thinks he and erased her and her family from history. snowbaird coded but also worse ) inspirations: lucy gray baird, satine / fc claim ideas : simone ashley

saori ( iroh’s wife ) — very minor character but all that can be said is that she’s no easy woman. she’s demanding of him after they are arranged together because she believes and sees that he can be better. she also grew up in the palace as a courtier and is known for being incredibly opinionated and sharp on her wit. inspirations: beatrice ( much ado about nothing ) / fc claim : jamie chung

#iroh and ozai #avatar the last airbender #iroh the firebender prodigy #ozai who loves power #fire lady ilah #fire lord azulon #fire lord ozai #daniel dae kim melted by brain by being a good actor #avatar the last airbender fanfic #mar talks her little talks and swings her little arms #this is mostly a exploration on perspective #freedom and power and the corrupting nature of being born #and also free will #and the bonds of love #giving uncle iroh the chance to be the brother / husband / father we know he was #ozai and iroh are the cain and abel of their time #meaning #atla live action #it has a awakened in me the need to study an evil man like a bug #ursa gets agency and then she gets groomed #airbenders surviving but also dying #aliya gets to haunt the narrative #saori is everything to me

Aaaand we're skipping a day, again. Sorry Darlings, everything's ok, just really hectic and stressful. I honestly just don't have enough active braincells to direct towards reading and posting today. Please bear with me.

I hope you're all taking care of yourselves 🖤

#mod speaks #bug and bunny say mrrp by the way #they're currently aggressively grooming each other so I'm sure they'll start fighting any second now #they're both on edge because I'm on edge. which is not great. But I'm trying not to let my stress affect them too much #sadly I'm out of treats and they recently broke three of their favourite toys #so available distractions are limited #wish me luck 🙃

Who would want to take Jamie on a blimp joyride?
