#but I'll post those altogether in a separate post

[genericpuff]

I've been a bit of a salty spitoon over the recent events unfolding at NYCC so here's some GOOD news (sorta) >:00

I say (sorta) because I'm not a huge fan of mongie's work (or mongie herself) either, but DAMN if this lady doesn't know how to GET SHIT DONE-

Like GODDAMN is there a lot to show for here \(￣︶￣*\)

I don't know what the Let's Play After Dark or Omnibus works are, but it's really cool to see Linda Sejic's art here, I had NO idea what to expect when mongie announced she was going to NYCC and collaborating with Linda. I'm assuming Omnibus is likely a novelization or some kind of complimentary book to Let's Play because it has over 700 pages of stuff which is wild. Unless they just went and re-skinned the Volume 1 cover of Let's Play, I have no clue but it looks great. As for After Dark, yeah, again, no clue LMAO

Let's Play is returning in 2025, AND she's starting up a new series over on Manta (a publishing platform that's open to NSFW material which will definitely be better for mongie's work and will hopefully give WT a run for their money LOL) She hasn't stated yet where Let's Play's new home will be, but I'm assuming if it's not Manta, it might be a new independently-run site altogether, but again, we'll just have to wait and see. I remember her mentioning she wanted to do a fantasy series on her Patreon ages ago so it seems like she's finally getting the opportunity to do so. I have no idea what she's going to do with Let's Play after its S3 jump the shark finale LMAO

She's getting some merch made with BIOWORLD which is neat, though it'll be interesting to see how the quality comes out because the last creator I saw working with BIOWORLD was Smythe and the merch was uhhhh- not great. I posted about it on IG a while back but I don't know if I ever talked about it here so I'll def make that as a separate post for anyone who's curious.

But the BIG one - Let's Play is getting an anime, and it's from an actual animation studio which is a way bigger sign that it's a sure thing.

Again, I'm not a huge fan anymore of Let's Play or mongie in general, but I gotta give her credit where credit is due, she had WAY more to show for herself at NYCC than Rachel did, and the fact that she did all this after burning her bridges with WT, that's gotta sting for WT's and Rachel who still don't have anything to show for an animated TV show after four years. At this rate, there are gonna be more creators succeeding on a mass scale by choosing not to publish with Webtoons than those who did.

And who knows, maybe the anime adaption will tidy up all the problems original Let's Play had. It remains to be seen, but I think it's pretty neat to see mongie making such strides since she left the platform.

Something something, "I don't care if mongie wins, I just want Webtoons to lose" 😂

#tho again mongie has a lot of issues herself oof #that said she's still probably one of the least problematic out of rachel and snailords #that doesn't make her NOT problematic but you def don't see her ambushing fan groups or scamming her audience #she's got business sense and i'll give her that #now let's see if she can stick the landing >:0 #webtoon critical #lore olympus critical #let's play webtoon

a much too whiny rant about fic icks

I die a little every time pup, cub or Prongslet comes up in a wolfstar raising Harry (together or separately) fic. especially cub - it makes literally no sense????? are you sure it's Remus John Lupin I'm reading about??? it's his evil doppelganger, I'm telling you. I'm not even sure I could stomach that word ironically.

Prongslet is fine in moderation, I guess, but only as an inside joke, only coming from Sirius and only when Harry's a smol bean. but when it's Prisoner of Azkaban compliant I wanna claw my eyes out.

it's even worse when those terms are used not just in dialogue but in Remus or Sirius' internal monologue as if pup and cub are Harry's freaking pronouns or something. my cub, my pup, cub did this, pup did that... just call him boy or kid or his name for god's sake. I once saw sprog pop up and was delighted cuz at least it's actually british slang.

and don't get me started on Hadrian(us) James Orion Potter-Black (which is just... why the fuck would James give his son the name of his best mate's horrible father AND the last name of his horrible family?? and why would Lily agree to that?) who's simultaneously Lord Potter, Black, Peverell and Slytherin (and, sure, I have a visceral reaction to aristocracy wank in general but even ignoring that - the last 3 literally make no sense since "Lord Black" is Sirius until his death; and both Peverell and Slytherin lines bled into other families ages ago. so being a Potter automatically means you're descended from Peverells as well as being a Gaunt - from Slytherin. and the last of those is Tom Riddle Jr. but that wouldn't make any Potters "Lord Peverell"s or any Gaunts/Riddle "Lord Slytherin"s. those last names are dead. smh).

but, uh, this tangent technically has nothing to do with my initial complaints, it's just that at some point I started thinking of this naming stuff in tandem with nonsensical nicknames as they began appearing in fics together. which is a double homicide, truly.

and look, I definitely understand the desire to make Harry's original name something else cuz it fits nicely with POC Potters headcanon and Dursleys being racist dicks about it, but... Hadrian? I mean, it's not really a big deal when the fic mentions it being his full name but both narration and characters still refer to him as Harry for short - that makes total sense. however when after the name reveal Hadrian replaces Harry completely, it feels super weird and uncanny, making it hard to identify Harry's character in the story altogether.

although I guess you should all knock me off my high horse for being the biggest hypocrite ever, cuz I myself have a headcanon for Harry's name, even if it's less elaborate than Hadrian. also less Roman? that's another thing I don't get - if you want to create a better connection between Harry and his roots, why choose a name of a Roman emperor for a desi kid? since he's usually explicitly desi in all the Hadrian fics. so it's not that I have a problem with renaming him, per se, I just don't understand the choice of Hadrian.

for example, I recently read a fic where he was Pakistani and his name was originally Hami, which is a very nice idea, actually, and makes total sense for such headcanon. mine is Hari btw (हरि in Sanskrit), since I headcanon Potters as Indian, but I didn't come up with that name myself - just saw it somewhere a couple years ago and fell in love. I think it's actually a pretty popular hc now? anyway, it's closer to Harry than any other name I've seen and has so many beautiful meanings that resonate with what I think James and Lily felt towards their son. so yeah, I'm one to talk, boo me.

now, I probably should shut up since this rant has been entirely too negative already, but while I'm on the topic of icky names/nicknames I should circle back to wolfstar cuz gods know I'll never be brave enough to talk about this particular pet peeve in its own post.

Siri, Remu and Remy make my blood boil. Siri could be kinda cute when it's a silly childhood nickname from Regulus, but if any marauder or Lily calls Sirius that - immediate death. Si and Re are a teensy bit better in moderation and if used ironically, but still stab me in the chest. a couple times for good measure. the only somewhat acceptable short form of any of their two names for me is Rem, albeit with a stretch and only because it's an actual version of the name Remus in Catalan and Russian. I know I'm being way too dramatic about this (just like with all of my previous points) but I just don't understand the need to shorten their names. at all. they're only 3 and 2 syllables long and so mystical on their own that any shortening just makes them simultaneously more nonsensical and less remarkable.

both characters literally have established quirky nicknames in canon that you can play with and even shorten to Pads and Moons if you want. Sirius is not a digital assistant and Remus is not the main character from Ratatouille. stop this madness.

plus James is right there. his name has a ridiculous amount of diminutives - Jamie, Jimmy, Jim, Jam, Jem, Jay and even Jimbo if you're into that. why strip Remus and Sirius' magical names of their charm if you can have fun with common names? but I digress.

at the end of the day, my pet peeves are mine only and I should live with them in fragile peace. this post is a personal rant first and foremost and if you disagree, I'm genuinely happy that you enjoy the things I can't. fandom is a playground and we can all find some fun in different corners. I'd also like to point out that I'm not trying to take a jab at fic writers who use any of the aforementioned terms, names or diminutives. I'm only one person, so if I stop reading your work because of my petty biases, it's only my loss and not your problem. hundreds of other fans will enjoy it instead. so keep doing what you love and writing those characters however you want, it's your right!

so yeah, writers and readers - don't take it personally and have your fun! don't listen to me being mean! I'm just making my fandom experience way too convoluted for my own good.

I can’t believe y’all will excuse build’s racist, homophobic and sexist comments he’s made which he admitted to and still support him how many times is he gonna keep apologizing and all his fans are gonna fall for it every time

I'm not going to keep repeating myself, so this is the last I'll say on the matter. This is my opinion, so do with it what you will.

Firstly, I'm not sure why you think I excuse his behaviour in any way. I'm assuming you're saying this to me because you read my post about him, which confuses me because I clearly say I don't justify anything he's done. The things he said are fucked up, and I do not agree with them.

However, the leaked texts are presumably old and unless it comes out that he still displays these views now or continues to in the future, then yes I support him in moving on and doing what's best for him. I also feel the need to point out that with these leaked texts come mistranslations and little to no context. And as someone who is a native English speaker and does not speak or understand Thai, I cannot take these at face value. Especially when the woman behind leaking them has a clear insidious agenda of not seeking justice, but tearing this man down and destroying him until he is nothing.

I'm going to add a few more things here to get my point of view across for anyone else that comes across my account.

I think what people are forgetting is the simple act of being human. And humans are multifaceted and highly complex. Labelling everything as simply as he said this bad thing therefore he should be cancelled and I am better than him because I would never do that is incredibly short sighted.

It is in our human nature to make mistakes, errors and bad judgements but it is up to us as individuals to decide if we should allow someone the grace of being forgiven.

You are completely justified in feeling whatever you like about Build and the situation at hand, but cancel culture does not work. I am not here to punish him and neither are you. I believe he is trying to become a better person. You don't have to agree with me but that is my belief, and if you can't handle that then block me instead of sending me or anyone else anonymous asks.

I fundamentally disagree with the witch-hunt that people are subjecting him to. If you think he is a bad person and you do not support him, then simply leave him alone, block him on all social media, and refuse to contribute towards any kind of monetary support that involves him. Sending him or anyone hatred, vitriol, and death threats make you a bully. And then, if you're acting that way because you think Build is a horrible person, does that not make you just as bad as him?

It has completely astounded me how much nastiness I've seen in this fandom. We all need to remember to be kind. You should be kind to those around you, and you should be kind to yourself. And the moment you find yourself being anything less than because of a man you do not know and who does not know you, you should take a step back and think about what you are doing.

Please don't send me any more anon asks about Build. Vegas and Pete are the characters that I have brainrot over, and they are who I will mainly be focusing on. I am able to separate the character from the actor, but I understand that that is difficult, and I don't blame you if you want to block me for that reason alone or disengage with the fandom altogether.

#build jakapan #Build #vegaspete #please treat people with kindness #there's so much hate in the world #and we don't need to add more to it #positive asks from now on please! #peachym00 asks

I'm gonna come out and say it; No Way Home sucked. Sure, it had some good moments but in my opinion, it does not live up to the first two instalments of the trilogy. I liked the first part of the movie but as soon as I knew where the second part was going, I fell off that train pretty quickly.

Not only did it make MCU Spidey end up with the same tale as his two predecessors but it also undoes Peter's entire establishment in Marvel's overall franchise. What was the point of the last four movies putting him on the roster with Earth's MIGHTIEST Heroes if you were just going take all that away and make it like he exists in a completely separate world from them? What was the point of the three cameos we had from RDJ, Samuel L. Jackson, and Benedict Cumberbatch in their iconic roles to show that interconnected universe as with every other MCU movie, only for that to be stripped away at the very last second? Might as well have been another one of Sony's solo ventures at making a series after TASM but it's not and that's why I HATE the uncertainty of Peter Parker's future in the MCU. However, given the current failing reality of the MCU with every new movie that comes out, I can already confirm it's nothing good. In fact, it probably would be best if progress stops altogether before Marvel really is stuck in the dust and just a part of a magnificent past with no legacy to carry on. (This is a side note but that is still a big issue for me anyways that I may expand upon later in another post. In the meantime, go watch all the video essays on YouTube, I'm sure you'll find many good ones.)

He had a unique story that fit into the overarching plot of the MCU and the premise he had was different from the previous Spideys which is what was so interesting about his character development. This Peter Parker had friends that weren't introduced before, or at least, they were more developed than in other series; he had a superhero as a mentor, not a scientist turned villain due to unfortunate circumstances; he had a guy in the chair who wasn't after him or turned villain because his father was one, he had two crushes that were friends, he was part of clubs and acted more teenage-like than the last two. He interacts with other heroes, joins the Avengers, fights THE villain, perishes, comes back, loses his mentor, and is still expected to keep on going.

For crying out loud, he was asked if he was going to be the next Iron Man but he knew he wasn't which is what Far From Home set out to show us. And to all those who called him Iron Man Jr. in Homecoming, I hope you know that you make no sense and I think Marvel did a wonderful job making him stand apart. He was a kid admiring one of his role models and now that he actually had a connection to him, of course he was going to want to be like his mentor but even Tony recognized that he wanted him to be more, not like him. This shows Iron Man himself had great respect for the young hero.

Now, moving onto No Way Home, two main things that annoy the heck out of me; Peter being forgotten (obviously) and Aunt May dying. I'll start with Aunt May's death. To be honest, it was a completely unnecessary death and it actually doesn't make sense for the purpose it had in the movie. The punchline "With great power comes great responsibility." loses its premise as soon as you recall Civil War's intro to Peter in the first place. Uncle Ben had already died, Peter was Spider-Man at this point, and remember what Peter told Tony when they met, why the older hero related to him so much? "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't... and then the bad things happen... they happen because of you." So he already learned that lesson on responsibility and by the time we get to No Way Home, this kid had learned lessons also involving the universe at large. Why are we rehashing Uncle Ben's offscreen death with Aunt May if Marvel literally stated that was overdone? Make that make sense. But oh, it was to make something big and dramatic happen in the movie because we needed to mOve aLoNg. Peter lost his parents, his uncle, and mentor; can you come up with something new other than parental figure losses? Why do TASM Peter and OG Peter still have their Aunt Mays and even if it was just a deleted scene, technically TASM Peter's dad? Huh, then what do you say there? Why did MCU Peter Parker have to lose ALL his parental figures?

Finally, the thing that probably broke most of us; Peter being wiped from everyone's memory. As I stated earlier, his entire existence within the MCU just vanishes, like that, in seconds. So......... what was the point of his existence up till now in the MCU? What was the point of his specific development and growth if he was just going to get forgotten? Why was he meticulously introduced at the height of the Avengers' conflict and then constantly involved with some other MCU hero/important character if he was going to be removed from that? If the Avengers were never a big deal, why make him a part of that at all and why were we still bringing them up at the climax of the film? For those who bring up the argument that he's supposed to be a solitary hero, well that was the worst way to have introduced him then, right? But Marvel chose that route, not any other. Which is why that decision still makes no sense to me. You put him in a world where he wasn't the only superhero and he was going to interact with other heroes which none of the other Spider-Men had and that already put him in a unique position. Why give him a background that was going to get swiped?

Imagine that, making five blockbuster films that gave him a firm standing in the MCU at the peak of Phase 3 and then in his sixth film, his last standalone which is supposed to be his most shining moment, he gets the rug pulled out from underneath him to give him a blank slate? You might as well have thrown every script out from 2015 to 2019 including him before they were ever written or considered. It's the equivalent of undoing everything you just worked on in a school project that's worth 40% of your final grade. Think about that for a second. Marvel just undid 6 years of work and investment in a single character for them to go back to the beginning. Why didn't you just do that then from the start? You could have had more classic Spidey a long time ago by that train of thought (which I really didn't want because we already saw that twice and this Spidey was something fresh).

Anyways, thanks for reading. This is 2 years worth of disappointment and frustration put on the page.

Something I neglected to show during my first post about Experiment Z-57 is the concept art for its environmental body double in Dairon. I couldn't fit it into the post due to Tumblr's image limit only being 10 pictures per post, but here it is: Pages 114 and 115 from the Metroid Mission Logs.

While I'm here, I'd like to share a few frames from Z-57's animation set that I took screenshots of for reference purposes. Now that Tumblr allows us to put 30 images into one post, I can make posts as long as I want! More images for everyone!

Z-57 is firing a beam in these shots.

Here are some extra screenshots of the Dissected Corpse for good measure. This particular view of the creature's face never made it into the original post because of the old image limit.

Ever notice how Z-57's eyes are smaller and rounder than Corpius'? Corpius has these sort of elongated, oblong-form eyes (perhaps indicating that it's a wild type or unaltered specimen?), while the Experiment looks… domesticated somehow? Corpius' eyes look like they've grown into those uneven, craggy grooves it has for a skull-face, but the Experiment gives me different vibes. Round, calculated eyes that look like the face was carved specifically for them. Corpius' eyes bulge from its face in a particular way, and they're arranged unevenly.

If these two met face-to-face, would Corpius mistake the Experiment for a different animal altogether? Or if it were capable of sapient thought, would it consider the Experiment some ghoulish freak of nature, like a simulacrum of its kind? Like "I don't know when that thing went into that big building, but whatever it is, it came back wrong".

Maybe round eyes are a characteristic of younger specimens, who knows: I'm just spitballing here. I'm not sure I ever got around to talking about the eyes in the original set of posts, but they were featured in my venn diagram.

More Z-57 under the cut! I took all these screenshots, why not share them with other artists?

It's roaring in this set.

Best quality: its wiggles.

Experiment Z-57 is preparing to fire a counterable beam in this next round of screenshots.

When I made the original posts, I had to combine a few images to save space: There's one image that combines two in-game screenshots of the Dissected Corpse's room before and after the X are released with a shot of the boss, showing that they're the same monster. I'll deliver them here separately. As a treat.

Bonus: Corpius T-pose

I'm gonna go back to taking screenshots now: have a nice day.

you said that there is no inbalance between likes and reblogs, and that people made it up. how can you be so blind when it is so, so painfully obvious? this used to be a blogging site, but no one reblogs anymore, and most of the art/edits go unnoticed. and this is not just me, all of my content creator friends are experiencing the same thing, many of them even quit editing because no one even reblogs anymore, and the content never gets spread around. the only stuff that gets lots of reblogs nowadays are funny shitposts or tiktok/twitter screenshots. fandom gifsets only reach 2k+ if they are on the trending page. are you aware that this site is no longer the home of fandom, but the home of shitposts and leftovers from other apps? if likes AT LEAST showed up on dashboard like on twitter, it would do miracles to us. please consider making changes to the like button before you lose all your content creators.

i believe you must be referencing this and this?

first, i don't believe anyone "made it up". i know people (including other members of tumblr staff) are worried about this, and for good reason. but let's break this down a bit more.

your specific screenshot is a cumulative total over time, and reblogs repeat much more often than likes, since people can reblog many times and can only like once, so of course the further back you look, the more the ratio will be better for older posts. also, the interface back then didn't even separate the like count from the reblog count, so how would anyone in 2015 even know the ratio? probably by looking at their activity, but even then, if you're actually a popular blog, you're probably drowning in activity items and can't "see" the ratio.

i can almost guarantee you that if you were counting the ratio for the first 3 months of a post's life in 2015, and compared it to the first 3 months of a post's life now, you'd see very little divergence in the reblog-to-like ratio. i literally have access to see this ratio across the whole platform over time, it's part of my job, and i can't find strong evidence that the ratio has changed. i was really worried about this too!

the big caveat i'll concede is that for some individual blogs, the ratio may be different today than it was 7 years ago. if you're comparing tumblr in the universe of 2015 to tumblr in today's ecosystem, you're in for a hard comparison no matter what, because the world is not like it was in 2015. that's not altogether a bad thing. times change. we have to adapt with it. some blogs that were popular in 2015 simply aren't going to be as popular today; and likewise, some popular blogs today wouldn't have been popular in 2015.

also, "if likes AT LEAST showed up on dashboard like on twitter, it would do miracles to us" -- they do! it's called "Based on your likes", and you probably didn't realize you turned it off in your Dashboard Preferences, so you never see it. it's on by default for everyone, unless they turn it off. it's a really amazing discovery mechanism for many, many people on tumblr. that's part of what we've been trying to do to adapt the platform to any such changes in behavior over time.

regardless of whether or not the ratio is changing, though, i definitely agree with you that there's more for us to do to try to keep content creators around. making it clearer how content spreads around the platform is definitely one of those things. stay tuned, because there are lot of improvements in that regard that we've been working on. but they don't look the same as what we may have done in 2015 tumblr terms, they look closer to what other mainstream platforms do today.

Wanda was standing with Vision outside of The Bitter End she could only hope that Vision couldn’t tell how tense and nervous she was about entering this bar with him by her side. She would have to try her utmost not to have less than innocent thoughts about her old college crush/best friend. Christ how is she going to get through this night. The start of the night was calm she didn’t see any sign of you or your band wandering around the bar getting drinks so it was just her and Vision conversing as normal.

She was trying her best to pace herself and drink the beers she was getting slowly but all of a sudden she heard a slight gasp from Vision as he started to tap her abdomen with the back of his hand. Wanda clenched her eyes shut as she took a deep breath and turned around. She let her eyes rake over your body as fast as physically possible so Vision wouldn’t notice anything. She smirked behind her beer bottle as she noticed your style hadn’t changed much since college, however, something tonight about you wearing ripped jeans and a t-shirt that was ever so slightly too tight for you to be wearing made her feel a bit fuzzy inside but not like she was complaining. 

You cleared your throat as you approached the mic wrapping your hand around it as your eyes scanned the room for Wanda. They stopped as you noticed her and recognised a familiar blonde man standing beside her both staring up at the band. You turned your head back around to the band as you said loud enough for just them to hear you “We’re playing Medicine tonight instead and we’re playing it last.” They all nodded as they took note of it mentally as you turned around to face the crowd again you didn’t notice Adrian and Dylan smirk at each other. You clicked your tongue as you faced the crowd again lifting your hand and giving them all a little wave as you said “Hello everyone, most of you here probably know who we are already. But for those of you who don’t, I am Y/N Y/L/N singer and guitarist, on lead guitar we have Dylan, Adrian is on Bass and backing vocals and lastly, on drums we have Natasha, Altogether we are Fallen Flame. I hope you all enjoy your night whilst we perform for you and all the other performers after us.” You smirked as you heard all the cheers in return as you placed the guitar strap around your neck. 

So far as Wanda could tell the night was going well, she wasn’t having so many thoughts about you that shouldn’t have been crossing her mind at all. Was it because she was so aware of Vision by her side….yes more than likely that was why. Wanda could guess it was nearing the end of your set with just how sweaty you were, your shirt was sticking to you even more than it already was…if that was even possible with how tight it already was on you. The sight of the beads of sweat rolling down your neck was quite literally ruining her. She took a deep breath to get herself under control but as she attempted to do that you approached the mic after drinking some water as you stated “I know some of you are going to be very sad about this announcement but the next song we’re playing is gonna be our last song of the night then we’re done.” You were met with a bunch of boos and groans “I know, I know I’m so sorry!” 

At the thought of Wanda getting through the night without any mishaps, she heard the faint beat from the drums, bass and guitars. She immediately knew what song it was and cursed under her breath. You and her both knew just how much this song affected her and how if she had the chance whenever you played it she’d do whatever possible to you right there and then. Albeit nothing ever happened because it couldn’t mostly because it was always played in public around others. But she knew you saw the expression on her face change and the look in her eye was always slightly different when it came to this song. 

This song would be her downfall. And every not-so-innocent thought she kept away would all come crumbling down within a matter of seconds, with the attitude you portrayed on stage. Honestly, who could blame her.

You intended to keep eye contact with Wanda throughout the song. Although that didn’t last long as you noticed out of your peripheral vision the second your eyes lingered on her too long Vision put his arm around her waist and held onto it tightly. It was pretty hard for you to not notice the tall blonde man standing beside Wanda as she leaned into his embrace whether it was just so he doesn’t get suspicious or she actually likes his touch you couldn’t tell but you couldn’t look that way for much longer. The second you dragged your eyes away from her he placed kisses on the top of her head. So what if you decided to play the song because she was there and just because she didn’t speak about it openly didn’t mean you didn’t know how that song affected her and made her feel. 

So your eyes scanned the crowd albeit reluctantly seeing if there was any other person or group of people you could focus on. That’s when you spotted your ex Jessica it ended on good terms so you both stayed friends and kept in contact with each other. It wouldn’t exactly be how you planned your night to go….but it was known between the both of you that neither of you were seeing people. You looked back at the band briefly as you did a subtle gesture with your hand for them to keep playing as you motioned for Jessica to approach you so you could talk to her, She eyed you suspiciously as she approached. As you got down to whisper in her ear you could feel someone’s gaze watching your every move and you couldn’t stop the smirk that spread across your face. You sat back on your knees as you eyed Jessica to gauge her reaction you saw her eyes glance at Wanda and Vision considering you talked to her about Wanda before since she was your best friend. Although she sighed she reluctantly nodded and agreed. 

You decided to kneel on the stage as you gestured back to the rest of the band to stop stalling. As you bring the mic up to your mouth you move your tongue against your bottom lip as you bite it slightly. You make sure to keep all of your focus on Jessica as you start singing the lyrics to the song again. Adrian and Dylan couldn’t help but share confused glances at each other as they saw your focus on Jessica when Wanda was literally in the same room and Wanda being the whole reason you all were performing this song in the first place. You attempted to lessen the smirk spreading across your face as you started to perform again, the only person you focused on was Jessica as you albeit reluctantly ran your free hand down your chest making sure to tug up your shirt slightly exposing just a slight bit of your abdomen. The only way you could describe the way you were acting and looking at Jessica right now is that you were eye fucking her….albeit reluctantly but if it got you the reaction you wanted from a certain someone you’d go through with it. 

Wanda shook her head slightly and clenched her jaw as she took in everything you were doing on that stage. One thing she was certain of was once you got off that stage she was going to kill you. Why that was her initial thought she didn’t know….she couldn’t be jealous because she had her partner right beside her. But the sight of you eye fucking that girl, performing at your best, being in your element as well as looking that good being all sweaty….the only thing thought that ran through her head was…it literally should not be allowed. 

As soon as you all finished playing you and the band started to disconnect everything so the other performers could get set up. Vision intended to leave straight after your band had performed but after seeing how you and Wanda were looking and acting with each other from a distance he knew, he couldn’t leave Wanda here alone with you under the influence of alcohol. Where who knows what could happen between you both. So he took it upon himself to try and convince Wanda to leave with him now and use the excuse he had work early tomorrow morning and that he couldn’t stick around.

He was about to speak to Wanda he noticed her taking a step forward but before she could get any further Vision tapped her on the small of her back. She spun around to face Vision as she hummed and raised her eyebrows for him to continue. Vision leans down beside Wanda’s ear to talk since it seemed just to get more crowded and a lot louder “Baby, I was gonna ask if you wanted to head home since I have work in the morning so I was gonna say we leave now.” Wanda paused and thought about it briefly as she weighed out both of her options in her head. She could either stay out and talk to all of her old college friends and connect again or she could go home with Vision either be asleep in bed or more likely downstairs in the living room drinking wine alone. Wanda drags her eyes up to look at Vision “Is it okay if we stay out for a while longer?” 

Vision grimaces slightly and he takes a quick breath in “I mean Wanda I have work early in the morning and-” Wanda very quickly cuts him off “and that’s completely fine Vision if you wanna go home and sleep early for work do. But I am finally reuniting and being able to see and talk to college friends I haven’t seen in years and I don’t wanna pass this opportunity up. So you can leave if you wish but I hope you’d stay because you did hang around with them too.” Wanda pouts slightly looking up at Vision. Wanda watches his face closely to gauge his reaction as he clenches his jaw ever so slightly and nods albeit reluctantly unknowingly to Wanda of course. Wanda grins up at him as she jumps up and down whilst placing a kiss on his cheek “gah! You’re the best!” Wanda smiles softly as he places another kiss on her face. 

What they didn’t know was you had witnessed the whole conversation going on, albeit you couldn’t hear anything that was going on. As you were placing the guitars and bass into their cases and closing the latches. You and Wanda made eye contact with each other as she spun around and let out a breath through pursed lips. You tilted your head back and quickly waved Wanda and Vision to come over to you and the rest of the band. 

As Wanda approached you and your band she started to nervously wring out her hands weirdly nervous to talk to you all even if she just talked to you all yesterday albeit somewhat briefly. You noticed how hesitant Wanda seemed even with the alcohol that was probably in her system to try and get her to loosen up slightly you bumped your hip against hers and slowly started to roll your shoulders forward and take a hold of her hands softly to get her to start dancing with you to relax a bit more. Which sadly didn’t work as well as you thought it would as you saw Vision place an arm around her shoulder and pull her in closer to him just as she started to dance. You cleared your throat briefly as you clenched your jaw and stuck your tongue into your cheek to try and relax.

You’ve never seen her quite so tense…, especially beside her partner whom she is ultimately meant to be completely relaxed and at ease around. But you shake your head slightly at that thought that wasn’t something for you to worry about. You notice she only starts to relax a bit more when she notices Natasha which very quickly turns into excitement, she quickly runs over and throws her arms around her neck and they both start jumping around the bar never breaking the hug. You smile to yourself seeing the both of them together again you didn’t know for sure just how often they stayed in contact after college and everything. You also knew that just because there wasn’t much contact between you and Wanda didn’t mean everyone else stopped talking to her as well.

They weren’t the ones that had problems or found Wanda’s partner annoying. You smiled softly to yourself as you watched the two best friends reconnect briefly

Before you, Adrian and Dylan started to move everything outside for others to be loaded onto the truck. You approached Natasha, Wanda and Vision slowly as you tapped the lower part of Nat’s back softly to get her attention. “Hey, I just said I’d let you both know me and the guys are gonna start moving the stuff backstage for the crew to move onto the truck. All of you can stay here, talk, catch up and do whatever else you three do.” Natasha and Wanda shook their heads immediately as Natasha stated, “don’t be foolish I’m a part of the band Y/N I have to help you all out somewhat with this.” 

“Natasha you literally have been playing the drums and using your arms all night relax take it easy!”

Before you could walk back to where the instruments were you heard Wanda scoff as she pushed up the sleeves of her leather jacket “fine if Natasha can’t help I will, more hands means it’ll get done quicker.” You swallow dryly just as you were about to nod Vision cuts in as he places his arm around Wanda and pulls her back to him “Wands leave them off I’m sure they can handle it, they do this on the regular don’t you Y/N/N?” You can’t help the grimace that spreads across your face at the nickname the band and Wanda calls you.

Nat places her hand on your back to zone you back in as you look back up at Vision and nod confidently “Yeah…Yeah, you’re right Vis. We do this on the regular we can handle it.” You can’t help but roll your eyes and scoff slightly as you approach Adrian and Dylan, you pause briefly as you face the trio again as you yell across the space “Hey! Hey Vis! I would’ve expected you to know we’d be able to handle doing this since the three of us have all this muscle.” The three of you try not to burst out laughing as you all bend down slightly and flex your arms in different shapes. 

Before the three of you get any worse you all hear Nat exclaim “get outta here you three and get all our stuff ready to be packed away. The three of you stand up straight as you all raise your hands to your forehead and salute back at her. Whilst you all giggle slightly shoving and pushing each other as you walk off. 

Wanda stood there….frankly in shock. Her reaction changing frequently either her mouth being agape ever so slightly or just clenched beyond belief. Nat’s reactions weren’t much better she was either glaring at Vision for what he was doing and acting or looking at Wanda with the softest eyes and smile ever knowing Wanda just wanted to help out and be around one of her best friends again. Natasha clears her throat slightly once she realises you won’t be appearing anytime soon “Soo Wanda how has the job been going for you?” 

Natasha couldn’t help but grin seeing Wanda get so excited about that question however just as Wanda was about to answer…Natasha squinted as she realised Vision started to answer for her. “It’s all going great for her she has been focusing more on the smaller events to do with this career. But the concert for Fallen Flame she photographed probably has been one of the bigger if not biggest events she’s done so far. But I have a feeling she prefers the smaller events so like weddings, business events and so on. I imagine she’ll stick with those.” Natasha clicks her tongue on the roof of her mouth as she nods “right…right okay that’s good to know Vision thanks... I would’ve loved to hear Wanda talk about her own career and what she wanted to do but thanks Vision.” 

Natasha couldn’t notice Wanda shrink into herself more as Vision answered for her as she tried as subtly as possible to manoeuvre out of the grip he had on her. Natasha couldn’t help the smile that spread across her face behind her bottle of beer as she heard the nervous chuckle escape Vision’s mouth. “Hey hey Nat it’s fine we all know each other here.” 

She couldn’t help but sigh “Vision first of all it’s Nat. Second of all why don’t you go get us some drinks?” Vision let out an incredulous laugh “nonono we’ll just wait for the rest to get back and we’ll get drinks then how about that?” Wanda couldn’t feel and be more confused at this moment in time “Vision what-” however before she could finish her sentence you and the boys appeared next to them. 

You jumped slightly to get next to Natasha and Wanda as you threw your arm around Nat’s shoulder. “Yo yo yo what’s going on people, what’d I miss out on?” Both you and Natasha couldn’t help but notice Vision’s arm stretching across to be around Wanda since you were back but before he could place it around her Wanda shoved him off slightly. Natasha smirked to herself as she nodded slowly. Vision cleared his throat as he stared at you “we were just saying how great it would be for you our dear friend Y/N/N to get us all some drinks.” You scoffed and started laughing slightly thinking it was a joke until Wanda and Natasha gasped slightly which led to Wanda hitting Vision in the stomach as she spoke between gritted teeth to him “Vision I don’t know what has gotten into you tonight but stop it. And get us some drinks.” 

Vision clears her throat and nods his head “round of drinks coming right up.” You watched Vision walk-off seeing him mutter something to himself as he ran his hands down his face. You groan slightly as you feel Nat elbow you in the side and nod her head slightly over to Wanda as you see her run her hands through her hair and take a deep breath in. You let your eyes scan the bar as you look for a booth for you all to sit in as you finally spot a place you point at it briefly to Nat and the rest. You grin to yourself as you take Wanda in after all these years, you yell over to her slightly “Hey Maximoff come with us, me and you have some catching up to do after all these years.” You hold your arm out for her to place it over her shoulder as you all start walking over to the boot together. 

Wanda mutters slightly “What about Vision?” 

You give her a tight-lipped smile “I’m sure he’ll find us it’s okay.”  When Wanda hears that response she nods albeit a hesitant and slow nod but nonetheless, it was a nod. Wanda lets you sit into the booth first as she slips in beside you. Natasha smiles seeing the two of you together again talking to Wanda sitting underneath your arm, however, her smile fades quickly as she notices Vision approaching out of the corner of her eye so she sits down beside Wanda forcing Vision to sit with Adrian and Dylan. Nat bit back her smile as she heard the two of them groan at the realisation. 

Both of you talking non-stop all night practically just to each other as if nobody else was in the booth with you. However, the next comment Wanda made truly took you by surprise considering you didn’t expect her to make any comment like this especially with her being here with her partner sitting across from you both. “Y/N/N I just want you to know how happy and proud I am of you. I know we lost touch for a bit but…this isn’t me trying to make you feel bad or anything but I did keep track of the band and all of you guys no matter what. And last night seeing you all perform at a sold-out concert..hell even tonight it is quite surreal to be seeing in the flesh. You’ve all made it…in a sense I guess.”

Wanda takes a breath and clears her throat before she makes her next statement. She hesitates slightly but moves over closer and places her mouth by your ear. “And If I do say so much you look very good up performing on stage. That whole persona, stage presence, just that sweaty sexual tension thing you have going on….it….it works, it works very well Y/N. You just look so fucking good.”

You chuckle slightly as you scratch the back of your neck “Thank you it means a lot coming from you. You know more than anyone how much hard work and time got put into this actually becoming a thing and I love nothing more than us achieving it. It feels amazing whenever I do get to perform in front of people…heck just even performing with those guys is just….fun. Even if we didn’t “make it” per se and it was just us writing and performing for ourselves I’d still love it, I wouldn’t care. But um no I- I don’t think you mentioned how good I look up there. D’you mind mentioning it again?” You bite your lip slightly as you look at Wanda after making that last comment. Wanda rolls her eyes as she slaps your stomach with the back of her hand “you’re a jerk.” Wanda tried her best to hide the reaction as she slapped your abdomen and felt nothing but muscle, she bit her tongue and clenched her eyes shut as she cursed herself internally. You cleared your throat as you stared at your bandmates sitting around you both “but um genuinely thank you for coming, you didn’t have to considering we haven’t talked for…..well quite some time.” 

Wanda shook her head slightly “it’s okay as I said before I still listen to your music as often as I can and hey! Who said it was you I came for? I could’ve been here to support Natasha, Adrian or Dylan!” 

You grimaced ever so slightly as you stared at her mouth agape as you tilted your head side to side “that’s fair…yeah sorry-” you cough into your elbow “well they are lucky to have you supporting them then.” 

Wanda looks up at you as she twirls her rings “Can I ask something though….why….why did we stop talking because from my recollection we were doing fine, there was no bad blood between us literally nothing happened.” Your mouth opens and closes repeatedly as you shake your head as your eyes dart around the booth trying not to stop on Vision “It was…is a stupid reason I wouldn’t worry about it too much Wands.” She nods slowly as she keeps looking at your face trying to get a read on you.

Going unnoticed by you, Wanda and frankly everybody else at the booth much to Vision’s dismay he couldn’t handle sitting and watching stolen glances and touches between the two of you anymore. So rather abruptly and scaring everybody else at the booth Vision hits his fists at the table as she stands up. You can’t help but scoff and stare at him incredulously as the words leave his mouth “Come on Wands we’re leaving and going home.” As everyone else’s eyes dart around the booth yous stay glued to Wanda as she stares back at vision with her mouth agape. Wanda sighs slightly as she wets her lips “Come on Vis we’re all having a nice night here can’t we just stay?” 

Vision scoffs and nods “I can see very well how good of a night you’re having being reunited with your little fuck buddy back in your life.” For both you and Wanda it’s like time stopped however you’re very quickly brought back to reality by the sound of Adrian choking on his drink. Somehow you all know the truth by now but for Wanda’s sake…and the sake of her relationship you decide to get her out of this situation “Listen here Vis buddy, I’m not her fuck buddy I never was. Frankly, I’m flattered you think I could pull someone as beautiful as Wanda.” 

Just as Vision was about to retort Wanda leaned forward and stood up “Vis…can…can we not do this…here? Out in public around everyone and especially in front of our friends….please?” His posture relaxes slightly both you and Nat glance at each other and squeeze Wanda’s hands as she exits the booth shooting you all a tight-lipped smile as they both leave to talk somewhere privately you assume. You sit back in the booth with a huff as Natasha slides in closer to you as she nudges you “what was all that about? You both were never fuck buddies?” You shrug lazily as your eyes roam the room “I dunno just tried to save her relationship a little I guess. If she is really happy with him ya know?” Nat smiles sadly at you as she pats your shoulder “you’re a great friend Y/N/N” You aim a tight-lipped smile her away as you tip the bottle of beer into your mouth as you mumble “just the fucking greatest friend aren’t I.” 

You weren’t sure how much time had passed since Wanda and Vision had left to go talk. All you knew was you and the band were randomly tapping out rhythms with your fingers on top of the table as you all listened to the other performers and just talked. The next thing you knew was Nat repeatedly slapping your thigh underneath the table as you all heard the bell above the door ring again indicating someone new has entered. You begrudgingly looked up to the entrance to see Wanda approaching you all again walking rather relaxed with her hands stuffed into her jacket pockets. “Is it okay and cool with all of you guys if I stick with all of you for the rest of the night?” instantly she gets met with a jumbled mess of multiple “yes, of course, it’s okay.” 

Natasha laughs lightly as she states “Maximoff get your butt over here and sit beside your bestie Y/N/N.” You and Wanda both look at each other hesitantly so you try your best to get rid of the awkwardness by opening your arms out wide “get on over here Maximoff we’ll make your night better.” Natasha leans against her fist as she turns towards Wanda to look at her as she states “so Maximoff what happened that you’re back in here and Vision isn’t?” 

Wanda scoffs and rolls her eyes “I honestly don’t even know. Like..he knew back in college there was…someone I hooked up with regularly before we were together he just didn’t know it was Y/N/N. So I dunno how he got to that conclusion tonight that it was them even though you did try to diffuse that problem when it arose so thank you Y/N/N” She places her hand on your thigh and squeezes it gently “So he was upset and angry about that. He also didn’t like that I was avoiding pretty much all of his affection tonight by shoving him off. But I just…. There was something about it tonight that didn’t feel right….it didn’t feel like it normally does. So I got shit for that. There was just a whole lot of yelling back and forth and threats of us breaking up coming from the both of us but….mostly me. But before we could clear that up he stormed off….so I am sitting here right now in a situation not knowing if I am in a relationship or not.” 

Natasha and the boys couldn’t help the displeasing sounds that left their mouths at that revelation “D’you want…screw that do you need a drink Wands?” Wanda chuckles lightly as she shakes her head “no I think I’m good that argument has sobered me right up.” You all look at Wanda with soft sad smiles but Nat also leans over and places a kiss on the top of her head “please know that we are all here for you. Even if some of us haven’t talked to you longer than others.” You raise your hands in surrender which gets a laugh from everyone. 

It was much later in the night now the five of you were stuck around listening to the other performers there were a few of Nat’s friends that popped up here and there to sit with all of you such as Clint his partner Laura, Maria Hill and Bucky. Once Bucky and Maria arrived Nat left with them and slowly after that whether it be calculated by Adrian and Dylan…hell possibly even the three of them. It was just you and Wanda left in the booth watching the nightlife go through a loop of winding down and starting back up again. As you glanced at the clock on the wall you grimaced slightly as you clicked your tongue and breathed out slowly thinking about how to approach this. But you didn’t see any way around this besides saying it straight out “hey Wanda do you want me to drive you home?” 

Wanda couldn’t help but look shocked at you after saying that she waved her hands in the air frantically “Okay so two things. 1 Y/N/N you’ve been drinking all night you can’t drive me home and 2. I don’t exactly want to go home tonight so can we just stay here for a while or can I stay with you, Natasha, Adrian, Dylan literally would stay anywhere else tonight just not home to Vision.” 

Who were you to deny Wanda when she was looking at you all sad and vulnerable. You nod your head confidently “okay we can stay here for a lil while. Oh and also for your information Miss Maximoff, I have been drinking nothing but non-alcoholic beers all night. So I am very capable of driving you home.” Wanda smirked to herself and made sure to shove you with her shoulder “alright smarty pants. Since you’re a genius what are we doing for the rest of the night?” You quickly glanced at the stage to see a heavy metal band start to get up on the stage as you attempted to hide your grimace “Well we can either stay out here very late listening to heavy metal or I have a dressing room backstage we can hide away in until we head back to mine if you like.” Wanda smiled to herself as she nodded at you “yeah I’d like that Y/N/N” 

You both laugh as you see each other grinning as you slide out of the booth you place your hand on her back as you walk with her backstage. 

As you both reach your dressing room you push open the room door as Wanda walks in first, you hear the door click shut as you walk over to sit on the sofa as Wanda’s eyes scan the room. You watch Wanda looking around the room seeing polaroids of you and the band scattered around the room as well as some old instruments, drumsticks and guitar picks she arches her eyebrow as she hears you laugh, and you wave your hand back and forth in the air “sorry, sorry you just look like a kid in a candy store looking around at everything.” She hums absentmindedly as her eyes scan the room again “see anything you like Wands? Anything to your liking? Anything you wanna take for yourself?” 

As you’re making all these stupid comments you don’t notice Wanda making her way slowly over to you on the sofa. She couldn’t lie her eyes were scanning the room to see if there was any proof of you being with someone more specifically seeing if that girl you were eyeing tonight was in any of the pictures and so far she couldn’t see anything. You start humming to yourself as you hear the other performer starting their set tapping the beat onto your thighs. When Wanda finally sat down beside you on the sofa she had no idea what had come over her, the next thing she knew was her leg had swung over your lap for her to straddle you as she placed her hands on your jawline and neck. She knew she shouldn’t have been doing this or even thinking about this but something just shut off in her brain.

When you felt Wanda’s body weight on top of yours you immediately tensed, you knew neither of you should be doing this, especially considering Wanda didn’t know what the status of her relationship was anymore. However the second you felt Wanda’s lips on yours all rational thinking went out the window. It was like you and her were back in college again, you placed your hands on her back as you pushed her closer to you. The hesitancy you felt from Wanda at first very quickly vanished as she felt your hands wrap around her and start to roam her body. You felt Wanda’s hands place themselves at the back of your neck and started to move her hands up through your hair. Suddenly she decided to tug on your hair in that second your rational thinking came back in full force as you tried to move your head away from her as you started to mumble “Wands…Wands….Wanda Wanda!” you place your hands on her hips as you push her away from you. Wanda grumbles slightly due to being forced away from you, she stares at you with furrowed eyebrows as she huffs “what Y/N/N?” 

You gulp as you lick your lips “Should….should you be doing this right now? Like should this be happening right now or at all?” Wanda was puzzled slightly as she heard your questions and once she thought about it she clenched her eyes shut and bit her lip. She knew you were probably right considering she doesn’t know if she’s single or dating someone right now, she knew..she knew she probably shouldn’t be doing this but she couldn’t lie to herself. Especially since she knew there were moments where she would get herself off where thoughts and images of you would be the thing to cross her mind to help her reach her high. Hell, there were even moments where her and Vision would be intimate and you would cross her mind it wasn’t her proudest moment. But you have to do whatever is necessary to satisfy her needs right?.....right? 

God, this was going to turn into a mess. It already was a mess. But she knew what she had to do. 

Wanda placed her hands on your cheeks as she leaned her forehead against yours as she whispered between you “I can assure you this is fine, whilst for me at this moment in time it may be very very wrong. I will fix this and make sure everything is okay for you and us alright? But if you aren’t okay with this happening I am giving you the option of you taking me off your lap and us leaving now and pretending this never happened okay?” 

You stare at Wanda hesitantly as you see her gazing at you like you were the most important thing in her life. You clear your throat “Are….are you emotionally and mentally stable enough for this right now.” Wanda nods her head slowly “I can assure you that I am.” You inhale deeply and nod your head “okay..but Wanda this can’t get out that I was the cause for a ruined relationship, me, this whole band and this whole career that I worked for will be over. It’ll be done for.” Wanda nods her head rapidly “I promise you nothing like that will happen. Your career will stay intact, nothing bad will happen to you, this will stay a secret between us…until it doesn’t have to be.”

You can’t help but stare at her hesitantly but you can’t help but nod your head slowly and agree as she’s sitting on your lap like this. “Because we all know I wasn’t the downfall of your relationship…well not directly I don’t think. But we know how people like to twist and spin things.” Wanda nods instantly as she rubs her thumbs across your cheeks and in turn, places small kisses around your face “I know, We all know. As much as you didn’t directly ruin my relationship whether Vision knows it or not….which he probably does let’s be completely honest….it was to do with you.” You both let out a nervous giggle at that realisation. 

This time Wanda waited for you to make the first move as she sat there patiently. You raised your hands to the side of her cheeks as you placed your lips on hers softly. The kiss continued slowly until you felt Wanda’s hands move down to grip your t-shirt as you felt her hum softly into the kiss. You pushed Wanda closer to you again her chest against yours as you placed your hands on her back. Wanda gasped over the sudden movement which gave you the perfect opportunity to lick along Wanda’s bottom lips and slip your tongue into her mouth. Wanda immediately sat into you more as she ran her hands through your hair and pulled you as close as possible to her. 

You couldn’t help but groan into Wanda’s mouth as you felt the subtle movements of Wanda’s hips rut against you. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as you move your hands under her jacket and drag your nails down over the back of her shirt which results in Wanda’s hips moving against you at full force. You hum slightly as you slowly move your hands down to Wanda’s thighs as you say in between kisses “mhmm Wands…baby you think you’ll be able to do me a favour?” 

She nods instantly as she presses herself against you more continuing to kiss you as she bites your bottom lip “Mhmm yes anything, what d’you want me to do.” 

You smirk to yourself as you start dragging your tongue and moving your kisses down against her jawline and neck “I need you my darling, baby, Wands to try your absolute best to be super quiet when there are breaks between songs and performers. D’you think you’d be able to do that for me?” Wanda nods her head as best she can as it tilts backwards over the feeling of your lips on her neck. “Wands, words now.” 

“Yes, yes I’ll do that. I’ll try my best.” As you glance up at Wanda you can’t help but smirk at her with her eyes closed, mouth ever so slightly agape as she moves against you. Wanda places her hand on the back of your head as your lips reach a specific part of her neck as she mutters “there, fuck… right there don’t move.”  Even though it is so appealing to leave marks on her neck right now you know you can’t so you resort to soft yet forceful kisses on her sensitive skin. Once you hear the slight whimpers coming from Wanda you groan internally as you place your head on her shoulder and take a deep breath. 

Wanda tries to get her breath back to normal as you take a break from kissing her neck whilst also using it as a chance to take off her jacket and throw it across the room. Whilst she subtly runs her hands down your chest and manoeuvres her hands under your shirt to run her nail across your stomach. You tense immediately as you let out a shaky breath. Wanda lifts up your head and places it against hers as she starts kissing across your cheeks and nipping at your ear as she whispers “Y/N/N, honey if you don’t start doing something to me now I’ll do it myself or I can go to-” you cut her off with a squeeze to her thigh which lets out an involuntarily moan as she stares at you wide-eyed before she can say anything else you place a passionate kiss on her lips as you let your hands gradually roam around her body making sure to take everything in not knowing when this would happen again….if it would ever happen again.

Just as your hands skim past the side of Wanda’s breasts she simultaneously lets whimpers fall from her mouth as her hips start to grind against you again. When you feel Wanda’s breathing and movement start to increase, you shift her ever so slightly so she’s lying on the sofa underneath you. As Wanda settles beneath you it's only then can you feel the heat radiating off of her body. Though the teasing is quite frankly annoying you and more than likely absolutely tormenting Wanda you can’t help but smirk teasingly as you let your fingers glide over her legs starting from her calf. You lean down closer to Wanda pressing your chest against hers so you can feel the rise and fall of her chest as you bite the lobe of her ear.

“Tell me Wands….how long has it been since you’ve had a good fuck? That your needs have honestly felt satisfied to the max….don’t tell me it’s been since our last hookup in college because I’ll be very devastated for you and ashamed for that man.” When you feel the falter in Wanda’s breath as you click your tongue “that’s disappointing petal.” Wanda gasps suddenly as your hand cups her core as you moan into her ear “fuck Wanda…..I’m sure you already know but I can already tell you how wet you are even through your jeans. Getting this wet for someone you haven’t seen in years….who hasn’t touched you in years….who has barely touched you now and yet you’re putty in their hands right now aren’t you?” 

You smirk as you see Wanda’s breathing increase as she shakes her head “mhmm no.” Whilst she’s distracted you slowly start to undo the buttons on her jeans “what’s no petal?” 

She swallows dry “it’s a no to you saying you have barely done anything and have barely touched me now.” You raise your eyebrow at her as you hum in thought letting on nothing as you finish undoing the last button. Wanda’s too enamoured by the movement of your lips and everything else to realise the movement that is going on past her waist but shocks herself when a moan gets stuck in her throat as she feels your hand go down the waistband of her jeans. Running your fingers along the lace designs of her underwear, you click your tongue as you place your forehead on hers watching her pupils dilate even more a small smirk passes across your face “Wands you always were a fan of wearing any kind of lace panties weren’t you….and if I remember correctly you were always a fan of wearing a matching set. Shall we see if my memory is correct?” Wanda nods her head slowly, you place a slow sensual kiss against her lips as you whisper “it never mattered what you said anyway Petal I was going to check anyways.”

Wanda whimpers quietly as she feels the movement of your fingers against her clothed core as you sit on your knees pushing her shirt up above her chest with your free hand, a grin spreads across your face as you take in the sight below you. “Well, what do ya know Wands, my memory was right. I have to say though Wanda I adore that you kept that habit up….cause God I don’t think I’ve seen anyone look better in a matching set than you.” You bite your lip as your eyes stay on her chest as it rises and falls. 

Wanda can’t help but pull you down to her when she sees you eyeing her like some sort of predator hunting their prey, Wanda bites your lip harshly giving her time to slide her tongue into your mouth as she moves against your hand. You attempt to keep the kiss going as you feel Wanda start to lose herself to the friction of your hand. When you pull back and see her mouth open wide again and her whimpers beginning to turn into moans you decide you’ve put her through enough torture as you whisper to her not knowing if this will even register with her “Wands lift your leg and put it around my waist.” You scoff as you see her do it in an instant “mhmm very quick responding to that command weren’t you?” You hear a slight giggle come from her mouth as she nods in response, as you look down at her you can’t help but take pity as you push her underwear to the side whilst moaning into her mouth slightly as you run your fingers through her folds. 

Wanda knows she should be giving out to you for how you were looking at the girl during your performance tonight. But all those thoughts went out the window the second you started touching her again….than again she never really was the dominant one between you two. As you slowly push your fingers into her core, you attempt to hide the groan that escapes your mouth as you feel her walls clench around your fingers. Wanda chokes out a moan as she feels your fingers move in and out of her slowly curling just at the right spot. 

As you keep the same slow pace of your fingers moving in and out of her you bite your lip hard at the sight of Wanda moving her hips more to try and meet your thrusts. To alleviate her suffering some bit you place your thumb on her clit and slowly start drawing circles around. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as you hear the sighs and moans of pleasure that are escaping Wanda’s mouth. Wanda stares up at you with her eyes half closed whilst your head is thrown back she grabs your t-shirt and pulls you closer to her “Y/N/N….Y/N honey, sweetie, baby if you don’t start moving faster I’ll get myself off.” 

You click your tongue as you start thrusting your fingers harder and faster into her at entirely random intervals. “See Wands, Wanda, petal…what would be the point in you getting yourself off….when we both know you picture me to reach your high. So why deprive yourself of the real thing huh?” Wanda stares at you in disbelief wondering how you knew that, you bite down on your tongue as you see her retort back to you “oh fuck you.” You smirk as you move your mouth closer to her ear “oh you wish you could petal. But it’s nice feeling how warm and how fucking wet you are for me.” 

Wanda’s breathing grows heavier as she finally feels you starting to increase the pace of your fingers. She places her hands on the back of your neck holding you as close as possible to her as her nails leave marks on the back of your neck. As Wanda very quickly reaches her high you feel her leg start falling to the side of her, you grunt as you push your fingers into her harder and hold yourself up “Wands your leg’s slipping.”

Instantly Wanda wraps both her legs around your back as she crosses her ankles over one another. Which is met with a loud moan left directly in your ear as you thrust further into her. You know it won’t be much longer till she reaches her high as her walls clench and tightens around your fingers far more frequently. You chuckle lightly as you whisper in her ear “God he really has ruined your stamina hasn’t he…you used last so much longer than this with me. We’ll have to get you back on track petal.” Wanda groans and whines more as you press harder on her clit making her arch her back and press against you even more if that was even possible as you felt the twitching of her thighs around your waist. 

With how laboured her breathing was and how high the pitch of her moans were getting you knew she was trying to hold off cumming for as long as possible. As much as you would have adored making her wait to cum. You couldn’t do that to her tonight it was far too long since she slept with someone like this. You placed soft kisses along her neck and jawline moving up towards her ear as you whispered “As much as I would love you writhing underneath me for so much longer. You can cum petal.” 

Her eyes clenched shut as her legs and arms tense slightly where they are around your body, just as you were going to cover her mouth with your free hand to quieten her moans she pushed your head towards her lips as she kissed you fervently letting the sounds and vibrations of her moans into your mouth. You started to slow down the movement of your fingers to help her ride out her high slowly. 

The rise and fall of Wanda’s chest slowed significantly which in turn led her to slow down the kiss between the two of you. Wanda couldn’t help the whimper that left her mouth as you pulled your fingers out of her. She watched you like a hawk as she felt you adjust her underwear and pull out hand out of her jeans. You stared at your fingers that were covered in her juices deciding what you were gonna do next and grinned to yourself when a thought came to mind. Wanda assumed you were either gonna place both fingers in her mouth or possibly even yours but what took her by surprise was when you very precisely placed one finger in your mouth to suck all of her juices off. 

You made sure to keep eye contact as you get every single part off your finger as you also groaned and moaned to yourself at the taste of Wanda on your tongue again. As you removed the finger from your mouth you scooted up to sit on top of Wanda as you teasingly held out your other finger in front of her mouth waiting for her to open up. Wanda stared up at you unimpressed “you’re really making me do this aren’t you?” 

You pouted slightly at that retort “Oh that’s a shame you never disagreed with this before, you always did it so willingly like the good girl you are….or maybe now it’s the good girl you were? Since you wanna disagree and not do this.” You shrugged as you started to move the finger back to your mouth “I guess I’ll just have to clean this one off as well myself.” Before it could get anywhere near your mouth Wanda sat up with her mouth already placed around it staring up at you with wide eyes. You smirked as you pushed all the hair stuck to her face back. “There’s my Good Girl back.” Wanda let out a muffled whimper at that comment escaping your mouth. 

Both of you were brought out of your little bubble as you heard the applause from the crowd out front. You glanced at the time quickly “shit they must be finishing up, I guess it’s time for me to get us to my house.” 

Wanda nodded as she yawned “Yes please, everything that happened today has taken it out of me.” You giggled slightly as you stood up and buttoned up Wanda’s jeans again “If I know you Maximoff, you’ll be perfectly fine again after a few minutes.” Wanda gasped as she smacked your shoulder “Rude!” 

You held open the door as you waited for Wanda to walk past and exit. Wanda walked past making sure to accentuate the sway of her hips as she walked which got a boisterous laugh out of you. 

As you finally parked your car outside your house and turned off the ignition you stared at it rather blankly as you murmured “welcome to my humble abode.” you turned your head to look at Wanda only to find she was already looking at you. “Why are you looking at me like that?” you chuckled nervously. Wanda smiled softly and shook her head as she spoke “I dunno you just looked at the house weirdly…as if it doesn’t feel like home or like you’re missing something from it…just something like that.” 

You tilted your head side to side as you whispered as quietly as possible “yeah you’re the thing missing.” Wanda squeezed your shoulder again to get your attention, as you turned toward her she leaned over the console of the car. Just as she was about to kiss you again her hand landed on the wheel of the car which led to her pressing the horn and it going off. You both laughed at each other straight in the face as you started to open the door of the car and get out “alright Maximoff come on and let’s get inside.” Wanda laughed as she ran to your front door as if it was a race. 

The two of you laughing and talking as you opened the door to your house and walked in. the door closing behind you both. 

What the two of you didn’t know from that night was during the time you and Wanda were in your dressing room. Vision had come back to bring Wanda home with him, he knew he shouldn’t have left like that and left you both not knowing what it meant for them and their relationship. But he was just so angry he couldn’t think straight so he had to go and calm down.

However, when he arrived you didn’t find any of you sitting where you were before he left. So he kept asking people around the bar if they had any inclination of where Wanda or even you went. After many useless answers, someone had finally told him you both had gone to talk in your dressing room. 

Although he slowed his steps at the sounds he was hearing coming from your dressing room. He recognised and knew those sounds….knew those sounds too well. So as he opened the door ever so slightly and saw Wanda underneath you moaning and gripping onto you for dear life. He knew everything he guessed tonight was correct but he also knew there was no way he was letting you get away with this. As much as Wanda was probably going to hate and despise him for this but there was no other way to attempt to save his relationship. 

He took out his phone taking photos and videos which blocked Wanda’s face of course and even audio recordings. When he was sure he had enough he contacted any magazine, newsagent, or journalist and posted the content online on social media under randomly created anonymous social media accounts. 

If you were gonna ruin his relationship, he was gonna make sure he ruined your career.

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

ok last Wingfeather post (for tonight) I promise--

but I absolutely think that one of the main reasons I love the books so much is because of Janner, and how perfectly I feel like he encapsulates the experience of being an eldest sibling, especially in the midst of a somewhat-fraught family situation. before reading Wingfeather, I had never in my life discovered a character who seemed to feel the way I did about life with younger siblings, especially in my early teens. the way he struggled so much with the burden of responsibility, loving his siblings so dearly but sometimes chafing under the burden of care he felt like he could never escape--it was so real to me. especially the desire to be free of responsibility coupled with the shame of even wanting that sort of freedom. being so proud of being called "mature" and "leader" and "protector," yet sometimes inwardly raging against the fact that I could never make any mistakes without potentially dragging my younger siblings down with me, that I could never truly be my own person because I often felt more like Their Sister than I did Myself.

I remember saying to at least one person, I think it was my mom, "I have never read anything that so thoroughly understands what it's like to have siblings and be the oldest. this author just understands it. even the ugly parts that you don't want to admit to." I was completely in awe. I had never felt so seen.

and--I don't want to give away any spoilers for people who haven't yet read the books or who want to have the show as their first experience of this story, but--there's a moment in the fourth book where Tink gets to have a extremely special experience... an experience that Janner has always longed to have. and Janner is denied that privilege altogether. and I have such a vivid memory of pausing the audiobook while lying facedown on my bed, complete darkness all around me, far past the time I should've been asleep by, and sobbing. and it's one of the few times I remember genuinely crying because of a book. (I want to say a lot more about that moment in the series and what it means to me, but I'll have to do that in a separate post sometimes, because I cannot possibly avoid spoilers if I say anything else.)

I guess all I'm trying to say is--something about Janner's deep desire to be seen, to be known, to be understood for who he is and not only the role he plays, to receive the love he's always longed for from a father he's never been allowed to fully know, his constant struggle between a desire to lead and protect and his yearning for independence and freedom--all of that spoke so deeply to me when I first read the series, and even now I can feel the echoes of those emotions in how this story left its imprints on my heart. and I'm so excited for all the people who may find, for the first time, their own stories echoed in this series about three kids in a fantasy world overrun with toothy cows and birds with belly-buttons and singing dragons and slavering fanged lizards.

if it's possible could you please rec your favourite bungou stray dogs fics??

OH MY GOD YES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING ABSOLUTELY I WILL

update now that i've finally finished compiling them: this was so fun to do but a nightmare to choose (there are too many good fics) - thank you so much anon for asking it was so nice to go through my bookmarks again!!! but these are only a few of some of my favourite bsd fics.

i've got 25 here (i'll need to put them underneath a read more it's so so long omg) but if you'd like anymore, my primary blog is the same as my ao3 username and i have a lot of bookmarks there!!! they're all wonderful and i'd recommend all of them. anyways, i hope you enjoy!!

(side note: i tried to post this before the latest and last bsd episode came out and i hope i made it just in time)

And if I'm blinded, will my eyes become the planets? by Yui_Kuromori (5k) - not rated

- I need to leave for a few weeks.

He tells the president in a particularly sunny afternoon. There, with the sunlight filtering through the window, the man’s hair seems to glow golden, and the lines on his face are even more pronounced. Atsushi swallows nervously and does his best not to back off. He looks up, and meets Fukuzawa’s somber eyes and feels a bit of sweat trickle down his neck.

The president sighs and closes his eyes for a second. Runs his hands through his hair, and Atsushi already feels bad about all the problems he’s causing the man. He’s about to apologize, really, when Fukuzawa pronounces tiredly.

- I understand.

They leave to get to know themselves.

( the soft whimsical road trip AU no one asked for)

I am genuinely so in love with this fic you don’t even understand - i find it really quiet and comforting. DEFINITELY underrated - it’s one of the fics i’ll always recommend

TIP: read in the middle of the night before you go to bed!! i’ve read it so many times and this personally was my favourite time to read it

yokohama bay hotel by spirallings (9k) - teen

Ryuunosuke started his channel, originally, as a means to make his sister smile and laugh when they lived in that oppressive house. It grew far beyond that and allowed them to escape, and now it's his means of income: but he has always kept a tight lid on his privacy, separating his personal life from the persona he puts on YouTube and social media accounts.

While struggling to come up with ideas, he clicks on a video on his recommended feed and it leads him to the work of a reclusive musician under the penname Byakko Chain. All Ryuunosuke knows about him at first is his singing voice, his hands, and his guitar.

And those walls come tumbling down.

this fic i think is one i didn't expect to love as much as i did - i actually just reread it, but the comment i wrote before was that i didn't remember what happened in the fic, i just clearly remember how much i loved it - the first half was amazing but it's definitely the second half that ties it altogether

also i think the way the author writes makes it so easy to imagine - like,, the imagery isn't overdone but you can kinda see what it's like and it's so sweet (it actually reminds me of one of my favourite study with me's set in yokohama - also a rec!!)

TIP: id just say somewhere quiet where you can listen to music - i could easily read it during the day but i just prefer comforting fics late at night cause they make me feel like when i wake up i can actually live out what happens in the fic (obviously i can't but it's nice to dream)

An Awkward Encounter by SapphireSunstone (4k) - teen

Imagine you're trying to leave your secret boyfriend's place only to be met with your co-worker who is also trying to leave his secret boyfriend's place and in the middle of arguing you see your secret boyfriend's co-worker and you see a glimpse of his secret-boyfriend.

OR

Chuuya and Akutagawa's walks of shame seem to follow a similar path.

fluff and crack, what else could you ask for? side note: it also reminded me of a post i saw a while back by @hoshiumiumi (please look at their latest poe art it’s so pretty!!)

TIP: no tip, read whenever!!! might smile though so don’t read in front of your parents/friends if they’re the type of people who ask ‘oh what are you smiling at? are you texting someone?’and you don’t wanna tell them that you read fanfic

Into Your World by leedonghyucks (110k) - teen

A case gone wrong had caused Atsushi and Akutagawa to be transported to an unknown universe set 200 years into the future, where Abilities (now known as Quirks) were as rampant as ever. The renowned new Double Black have faced many fearsome enemies but can they survive the trials and tribulations of hero high school?

Spoiler alert: Barely.

a bsd and bnha crossover!! i actually remember a few of my screenshots from this - it’s a bit long compared to my other recs so far but very good

TIP: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE HOMEWORK YOU WILL NOT STOP READING THIS

Plate :( by forest_raccoon (4k) - teen

It's an accident, for once. He was actually following the Official Household Chore Schedule and doing the dishes while Chuuya was out getting groceries. But one of the plates was slipperier than he expected, and as he attempted to dry it, it fumbled just enough out of his grip to crack against the countertop, chipping a bit off the edge.

It isn’t one of Chuuya’s fancy plates. Dazai is fairly certain that Chuuya has no particular attachment to this dish at all, actually. It’s plain white and utilitarian, part of a larger set.

So Dazai can’t explain why he’s frozen in place, rooted to the floor by some welling emotion he can’t quite pinpoint.

(Alternatively: local brilliant strategist has a slight meltdown over small uncontrollable part of everyday life)

by @sensitiveheartless!! a wonderful artist and author - definitely recommend reading other fics of theirs. this one hurt me but it was so good - they also made a comic/drawing for this!!

Interest Check by featherx (12k) - teen

“I read your work in the school paper!”

“O-Oh?” Poe fixes his posture a little, and resists the urge to straighten his ribbon. He knew he should’ve tied it a little tighter than he usually does this morning. “Er… W-What did you think?” If there’s anything he takes pride in, it’s his writing; most people are turned off easily by the horror themes he likes to use so much, but on the occasion someone does appreciate them, it gives him a feeling not unlike butterflies in his stomach. If Ranpo, of all people, is the latter…

“I figured out who the murderer was in two paragraphs,” Ranpo says, holding up two fingers, like he really needs to drive the nail in deeper.

—Or, Poe writes a whole musical in an effort to impress Ranpo.

this one i recently read and fell in love with it was so adorable!!! they're both ridiculous and i love them for it <333

life's like an hourglass, glued to the table by ephemerality (2k) - teen

Outside, there are sirens.

"I called the police," the helpful cashier announces from the storage room.

very hilarious - imagining what is going on in this fic may or may not make you wheeze - it definitely made me wheeze

playing the hero by FallenNiji (118k) - teen

“How’s U.A.? Does it live up to the general public’s expectations?” Ranpo, walking with his hands crossed behind his head, wondered.

“I literally witnessed an attempted murder, discrimination, bullying and experienced a Villain attack in the first month here, Ranpo-senpai,” Kyouka deadpanned.

“Is that a yes?”

(or: izumi kyouka, reformed assassin turned detective, infiltrates u.a. and more or less willingly surrounds herself with well-known pro-heroes and other such law-abiding citizens. what could possibly go wrong?)

i will admit that i can't remember much about this fic apart from i love the character interactions as well as the characterisations and i'm always looking forward to reading the new chapter - i've also posted a lot of screenshots from this fic if yall want like a taste or something

I Was Screaming Your Name Through The Radio by ElectricSplatter (256k) - mature

“Four months from now will be the seven year anniversary of when you and Osamu Dazai released your hugely successful first and only album Double Black and its diamond single Corruption. After performing with Dazai earlier this year, are you planning anything special to celebrate?”

“Corruption is insanely overrated, and I would prefer to never hear Dazai’s voice for the rest of my fucking life.”

i don't think i can bring myself to go through the pain this fic put me in again but it's really really popular for a very good reason - you definitely have to read it at least once

O expectations, stale and dismal airs, leave this body of mine! by aptlydapper (20k) - teen

Apparently, Chuuya has a signature(s).

Apparently, removing that signature(s) renders Chuuya basically unrecognizable.

Apparently, this works on everyone.

Chuuya would have liked to know this before getting accidentally recruited.

this one is WONDERFUL - i love the story in general it's such a cool concept and it's such a cool ada chuuya au - please read it at least once

love at first sight: coffee shop edition by setosdarkness (2k) - teen

Dazai and Chuuya get stuck in the rain, and end up sharing the only available table at a busy coffee shop.

[or, plot twists in my meet-cute coffee shop AU? it’s more likely than you think]

literally anything by setosdarkness is good - they're a complete icon - one of the backbones of the bsd fandom. i won't spoil it but it was very good - also recommend all 951 (!!!!!) fics of theirs

S(he) Came In Through the Bathroom Window by PocketsizedDinosaur (2k) - teen

Atsushi deals with Akutagawa's unusual (and inconvenient) habit of not using the door.

i don't really remember what happens in this fic but i remember loving it very much and that it also hurt me very much - double hit but perfect

360 degrees by setosdarkness (11k) - teen

Chuuya gets cursed by an Ability that forces him to eternally live out his biggest regret. Unlike the other victims who end up killing themselves or hurting others, Chuuya goes into a coma.

For his biggest regret is—

[groundhog day AU with a twist, where Chuuya relives the day Dazai leaves the Port Mafia over and over and over and over—]

OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS SO SO MUCH I READ IT LIKE A YEAR AGO BUT IT WAS SO GOOD

The Next Day by psychodaog (10k) - general

Atsushi wakes up in filthy rags and dried blood. He remembers the cage so vividly and it feels real.

It looks like the place he used to call "home".

(Atsushi travels back in time AU)

a WONDERFUL atsushi travels back in time au - i need to read more of these!! if anyone has some recs please send them in!!!

Striped by AliceinHyruleBastion (8k) - teen

Atsushi found his soulmate. No big deal. Until he comes into work one day with soulmarks on his face and the office demands an explanation.

SSKK soulmate AU shenanigans with a dash of battle, sass, and angst on the side!

sskk soulmate au!! so so wonderful - i also loved part 2

pull the trigger tighter and watch our distances explode by niwakaame (oolongteas) (8k) - teen

The world looks like a big spider's web, colorful, and bright and full of light.

In which Nakajima Atsushi sees the strings of fate, and beyond that.

i forgot to bookmark this and looked for it for AGES it was absolutely amazing i loved it

You're All I ever Wanted by iheartryuu (2k) - teen

“Chuuya,” Dazai mumbles, nudging the side of his face into his partner's neck. The redhead doesn’t move, doesn’t talk. He doesn’t make a single sound. He just needs this moment to last. He doesn’t want to face what will happen when he lets go and is forced to look into Dazai’s face.

“Chuuya.” Dazai speaks with a gentle voice. “Break my chains.” Chuuya shakes his head. He rests his forehead against Dazai’s shoulder. The brunette sighs, taking a gulp. His next words almost come out as a desperate whisper. “Break my chains so I can hug you back.”

Chuuya feels his throat tighten. He didn’t expect his partner to say that. So he shakes his head once again. His voice fans against Daza’s ear, sounding smooth. “If I let you hug me back, I don’t think I’d ever be able to let go.”

— aka, what should've happened when they met again for the first time in four years.

i think this nearly made me cry - or actually did - it was so so good

The Weretiger's New Houseguest by xxSoliusxx (31k) - teen

After a misunderstanding and surveillance tape proof, Akutagawa is faced with the daunting threat of the Port Mafia. He finds himself wounded in the pouring rain, standing on Atsushi's doorstep.

i only remember some parts of this very clearly but i remember it was all wonderful!!!

Dazai Undercover by Bibliophile109 (6k) - teen

“I thought the new employee was recommended by the Special Abilities Department,” Kunikida says weakly.

The man waves his hand carelessly. “Yes, yes, Father knows someone there, it’s all very convenient. Say, would you happen to know when the lunch break is?”

-

Dazai puts a bit more effort into hiding his Mafia background from the ADA, and ends up pretending to be a spoiled rich kid.

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS - I JUST REALISED I FORGOT TO SUBSCRIBE AND IT HAS NEW CHAPTERS IM GONNA READ IT THE SECOND I FINISH THIS LIST

to build a home by lonelydoctors (5k) - general

”You have got to stop looking so shocked every time I visit, Poe-kun,” Ranpo says with a grin.

“N–no, but…I thought–I guess I just–“ Poe takes a deep breath and starts again, “I thought the Agency is supposed to be on a work trip in Shinagawa today. How did you even get here by yourself?”

Ranpo straightens his posture and shrugs casually, “Why, I took the train of course, Poe-kun.”

“You what?”

this one was SO adorable - according to my bookmarks i wrote "my GOD they own MY ENTIRE HEART"

This Color Ain't It by justcallmedude (108k) - not rated

“President, I understand Tanizaki, but Kenji?” Kunikida looked about ready to snap his pen in half as he, along with most of the people in the room, stared at their head. “Kenji’s methods are anything but ideal for an undercover mission! Please reconsider!”

“It is true that Kenji’s way of handling cases is unusual,” Fukuzawa agreed. “However, it is because of his ability to talk to people that I feel comfortable assigning him as our undercover agent with Tanizaki.”

- - -

Kenji Miyazawa is the ADA's naive detective given his possibly most difficult task to date: infiltrate UA and find the student spy before the heroes become aware that there is a traitor amongst them.

earlier in this post i included a kyouka goes to ua au, this one's a kenji goes to ua au and i loved them both very much!! i love kenji's characterisation in this it's so cool

Kiss My Wounds by bloodyinspiring (62k) - teen

The mafioso inhaled deeply, chewing the inside of his lip as he formulated his thoughts together before speaking, and looked the detective in the eyes. Gin told him to go for it, and when push comes to shove, bribe the guy. But money might not fix this if he mortified himself for eternity to come when he uttered the words...

“Marry me.” ~

A lot can happen within the three months of summer... Some people get the dream job they wanted, some graduate from school, and maybe others take on a new hobby with all the excess downtime they received (or thrown in jail like Dazai).

In Atsushi's case, he didn't expect to be proposed into a fake marriage with the one and only: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke

(Occasionally on hiatus due to university but ongoing!)

THIS WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOD I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT IT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITES

pull out your pen and write down your memory by Seito (75k) - teen

Instantly three things occurred to Shirusu.

First, fuck, this was the world of Bungou Stray Dogs. Second, given the appearance of Dazai Osamu standing in front of her, she had landed some time relatively close to the Dark Era. And third, these words slipped out before she could stop them.

“You’re asking me out on a date?! But you don’t even like women?!” Shirusu blurted out.

And Dazai blinked back at her in surprise.

Ah fuck.

im a sucker for isekai sometimes and this is one of my favourite ones

ataraxis by lurochu (46k) - teen

For the first time in his life, Chuuya wished Dazai was there. With one touch, he could quiet Arahabaki and give Chuuya peace of mind, peace of mind that Chuuya desperately craved. But that bastard never was there when he needed him anyways.

Chuuya's slowly killing himself and Dazai's half to blame. (discontinued)

as you can see in the summary this one's unfortunately discontinued but i remember reading and loving this so much

All hail our lord and savior Chuuya Nakahara by BlowingYourMind

a series with just a lot of chuuya fics and they're all wonderful! my personal favourites are Let me help you - His dark eyes got a little lighter - Baby Executive - The worth of a subordinate in Chuuya Nakahara's eyes - Yokohama public High School- almost as crazy as their pep rallies - Learning experiences - Chuuya Nakahara's issue with Black Coffee - "You stole my wisdom?!", and Don't break the honeycomb. although these are just the ones that i've read recently or remember really well!! i think all of the fics in this series are worth reading

[1863-project]

Been looking through your blog for a while and as someone who likes Ingo and Emmet but feels alienated from the main fandom for multiple reasons, it's pretty refreshing to see someone who points out the ableism that nobody else wants to acknowledge.

Like, obviously alternate takes on characters exist and there's nothing WRONG with that if done respectfully, but the blatant disregard for their canon personalities in favor of making Ingo a "pathetic little meow meow" or whatever the current phrase is at all times and making Emmet someone dangerous or scary isn't only tiring, it's harmful to people who see themselves in them. (I get wanting to explore the angst around the separation and it can make for good stories, but come on.)

It's also another signifier of how ableism towards real people gets ignored in fandom spaces. The mod of a Submas blog I used to follow regularly got death threats for "faking" their brain damage and personality disorders, which they were not. There was an eating disorder-related harassment campaign that went around. One user I know of deleted their entire internet existence because of being called slurs all the time.

I'm pretty lucky to have carved out a tiny corner with a select few friends who also take issue with this stuff, or honestly I'd just stop talking about the twins altogether. The fic and art isn't enough of an incentive for me to wade through this shit.

Thank you so, so much for this, anon. You have no idea what this means to me.

Ingo and Emmet are more like me than any other characters on the planet, and I'm often left wondering if those portions of the fandom that depict them that way would see me that way, too. I've actually become deeply self-conscious of how I exist in the world - after a period of near-complete self-acceptance because of the two of them. The way a large enough portion of the fandom has treated them has made me really...well, it reminds me a lot of how people reacted to me when I was younger, and not in a good way. I grew up being bullied and socially ostracized because I was an undiagnosed autistic kid (diagnosed at age 20 in 2009), and the reasons people rejected me were the same traits that a lot of these people use to infantilize or depict Submas as "scary" (especially Emmet, oh my God).

All fandoms have a lot of casual ableism in them, because fandom has shifted from being a subculture/counterculture to mainstream culture and therefore reflects society as a whole, which can make it so difficult to navigate them if you're disabled. The racism in fandom spaces is rampant, as well, for the same reason. I'm so glad you've got a good group of friends you do stuff with - I do too, and they're the only people I trust to talk to about Ingo and Emmet at all. In general, all the best fandom experiences I've had have been in either tiny fandoms where everyone knew each other or just in small groups of friends, and that's the approach I recommend to everyone going forward - enjoy things, don't just consume them, and share them with people you like!

If you're interested in more posts about the ableism, I'll point you to @neon-moon-beam, who's done a ton of posts about ableism in fandom, as well. A lot of really good stuff here for you!

I just wanna thank you so much for your completely earned deconstruction of the writer/reader relationship. I have 2 separate writing blogs, and one, my main in fact, I've all but completely given up on until I want to write again. The other is being transferred to be my new main, and I'm not sure if I'll take requests. I've been debating just taking commissions that I'm comfortable with, and posting my own writing when the mood strikes. You've really made me think, and I appreciate that so much! ❤️

I'm not sure if you've had a similar experience, but basically one of my works exploded somewhat and another did to a lesser extent. I was working on other things and all anyone cared about was those two fics.

When I tell you I pored hours upon hours into this super high fantasy rewrite crossover of my favorite game with the same characters, I mean it. My first chapter was over 8k and I made sure I did a bunch of research to nail both the combat, and dialouge.

I posted it, initially meant to be posted between that and one of the fics- only for it to be ignored and instead all I got was update asks. No-one cared when it was right in my rules that it gave me anxiety and made me not want to write.

It got so bad, I literally dropped the blog. I haven't updated my most popular work since 2019 and I've only the past 6 months got inspired for the secondary popular fic. I got so in my head- desperate to do what my readers wanted and not upset anyone. To this day the next chapter sits half written, with me still torn to rewrite it entirely, or just finish it the way I want to and go from there. Yet it's so soured for me. I still love my concept. I still kind of want to repurpose it and flesh it out but I just get such a bitter taste in my mouth and I freeze and get anxiety even now when I re-read it.

Ironically the lack of reception to my passion project was my wake up call. I was genuinely devastated. I had one thankfully amazing commenter(of course on Archive of Our Own), who didn't know my niche little fantasy video game save its very opening hours(It's Final Fantasy 4, in case you're curious), but clicked anyway and gushed about my execution. A whole 4-5 paragraphs. I cried when I read it, beaming ear to ear grin.

If it wasn't for her? I very well may have quit posting my writing altogether and you know what? I still post that fic. Slowly, granted. My 2nd chapter was 9k+ and the 3rd is looking to be over 10k and has taken over 2 years thanks to a lot going on. She posted again on that 2nd chapter though! And I go back and read it when I need inspiration. I'm basically solely posting it for her.

Just...thanks. For sharing how you feel on this. I've always really struggled with feeling selfish, or like I have no right to ask for a comment. I still can put myself down and feel incredibly guilty, especially about that constantly asked about fic. Feel like I should take the likes and update asks with a smile because "that means they like it, obviously, they're asking for more, right?" I don't think people not actively creating and posting get it, and you truly put it into words in a way I've struggled with for years.

I'm new here, and still playing through the game and all, but please know at least I see you. I appreciate all the hard work you do and put in. You don't owe any of anything, and I'm so grateful for anything you choose to share with us. I think a lot of people underestimate how intimate sharing our writing is.

Also appreciate you mentioning the difference in respect between fanartists and fanwriters. SO many people think "Anyone can write." and we get belittled so much faster for offering commissions too. It takes just as much skill, whether people believe that or not.

Just...thanks. For real. You've given me a lot to consider as I work on transferring my new blog over and I appreciate it more than you know. ❤️ -S

That genuinely means a lot, it's an honour to have even meant something to anyone at all.

Especially someone struggling with the same thing I am. Thank you for taking the time to write and tell me this, i never thought anyone would bother to read my rant or take it seriously.

I relate to a lot of the things you've just described, it's really horrible how the world can twist something we love and are passionate for into something that hurts us instead. I'm never forgiving anyone who made me feel anxious about writing a story I was excited about or for posting something knowing instead of feedback I'd be met with asks about updating the more popular story.

And I'm happy to hear that you take commissions, just to make it clear I'm totally against the whole "mixing money with art makes it lose meaning" fiasco. I think it's stupid and people who claim that they don't understand that you can never put art in a box or steal its meaning away, that artists are people who need to eat and pay their bills too.

Your writing more than deserves money, it's something intimate that we pour our heart into, that we take parts of our life experience and memories and put it in the story to give it its own life.

Fuck anyone who thinks writing is below art, just because it's written words. They never consider the planning, creativity, writing style and experience, the research, plot and energy it takes.

If anything at least you can draw and paint while listening to music or watching youtube, you can let your hand go on autopilot every now and then. With writing it's one of those jobs you can't distract your mind from, you have to be present and you have to focus on every word and line, consider every dialogue option and every descriptive word, it's draining mentally and takes so much focus.

Both art and writing are important, all artists deserve respect and compensation for their work. People are getting too comfortable demanding work that takes literal hours from your life for free or a low price, a work they'll consume so quickly and never give a second thought to.

I hope things get better for both you and me, I hope we find readers who appreciate us for who we are, who actually respect and value our work instead of consuming it mindlessly, who understand what it takes to create and the amount of time we're giving out for free.

Who realise that taking 10 or 5 minutes to write a comment under a fic and phrase it politely isn't that hard, how it's literally all we ask for because it means the world to see someone appreciate our effort.

Good luck on your new blog <3 Close the requests whenever you want and open them whenever you want. Write how you want to, and please don't let anyone steal the joy of writing away from you.

I’m just so inspired to create my own stories with my sims and post them but I have no idea how to start do you have any tips?

hey! my biggest tip is literally just to jump in and give it a try! 90% of everything i know in regards to simblr has been learned through trial and error. i joined just so i could post my gameplay pictures and over time i got more invested, started adding story elements, ditched gameplay altogether, and now here we are today. i truly believe that if i had joined simblr with the intention of writing this insanely widescale story that i'll be working on for the next 5 years, i would've given up after a month. but because it happened naturally, i was able to get attached to the characters and the community i've found on simblr. so that's my biggest tip that i always tell people: just give it a shot and don't set any expectations for yourself (except one: have fun lol) 💖

also some general tips that aren't completely necessary but i think they're helpful:

make your simblr your main blog (ie. the one people will see when you follow, like posts, reply, etc.) for easier recognition.

keep your personal blog and simblr separate. this is not to say that you can't post personal things, of course, but a majority of my content is sims-focused. i created a separate blog for all my other interests. same goes for cc finds, those all go on a side blog.

connect with others!! it's one of the most fun things about simblr. i've made friends and talked to such a wide range of people because we all share a common interest so it's easier to connect. if you're ever unsure of what to say, it's always a safe bet to ask questions about someone's sims/OCs. most people are on simblr because we love to give our sims some kind of story, whether it's through gameplay or dialogue-based storytelling. so it's a really good ice breaker!

i also have a lot of writing/storytelling advice here that you might find helpful 💖

Hi, I sent you an ask a while ago about Ken taking care of your wound. I hope I didn't overshare in the first part of the message. I just wanted you to know you're not alone in your feelings.

Hi sweetheart!!! No please don't worry!! I meant to respond to you (not as a posted ask ofc, but rather making a separate text post without any details/info attached for your privacy) but my depression hit me super hard the last few days and I wasn't able to get back to anyone in a timely manner the way that I planned. I got over 30 asks this week that I was hoping to answer but,,, my brain has turned into a burnt out baked potato since I've picked up so many extra shifts fjhgjfdgh

You didn't overshare, don't worry about that. I thought about you a few times this week and hoped you were doing okay, or well, as okay as you can be given the circumstances. Thank you for empathizing with my situation, and I'm very sorry for what you have to put up with. Literally as I was reading your message I was thinking "dude are we literally the same person or something??" I have gone through almost all of those scenarios, of course not EXACTLY but my god it seems pretty close. and uh. it sucks. It hurts and it sucks..... ughh. We deserve better. It will get better. It's completely normal to have periods in your life where you feel so unbearably lonely and sad -- granted, our lonely period has been. like. forever lmao but like -- we WILL be surrounded by love and acceptance and one day we will forget how it felt to be in our current situation we're in rn. It's gonna get better. It feels super impossible and really hard everyday but dude it WILL get better bc that's how the universe functions, everything is temporary, eventually something will shift and new opportunities will come, or new people who bring you joy.

In the meantime, I am mentally holding your hand through any bad day you have. Thank you again for empathizing with me, bc honestly I hear sooo many stories about how people have... great experiences with the subject you wrote about, and it just makes me feel so bitter and resentful bc like... I'll never have that. And of course I am SO sorry that you go through the same feelings as me and the same, uh what's the word [squints] situations? events?? I don't know how to phrase it. but your message brought me a little bit of comfort to know I wasn't the only person who has to deal with that. I am surrounded by so many ppl who are so, so close with their families and watching that kind of thing makes me feel so bitter sometimes, and it just makes me wanna walk directly into the ocean dfshlfhslfksdsfd

I also want to say thank you SO MUCH for telling me Ken would patch up my wounds 😭😭 that was nice of you to take the time to do that for me ;-; I always beat myself up so much after I hurt myself, bc as you are aware of uh. [gestures to our unnamed topic] I've had bad experiences where i've hurt myself and have just gotten yelled at or ignored altogether, so. I just assume my F/Os would hate me for it. I get extra sad with Ken especially bc he's a doll and he's never seen human blood before, so my thoughts are always "oh he'd be scared of me and grossed out and hate me sooo much" but you were the first and only person who said "hey actually he'd be concerned!!!" and I just. wept. in a good way ofc!! but dude I just bawled after reading that, it was something I needed to hear so badly. Especially the lines "Ken loves you, Keri" "You know he doesn't half-ass things when it comes to you" and my favorite "He would draw you a little horse on the bandage, if you asked him to (he hopes you ask him.)" Ofc I will ask him I will PLEAD with this man to draw a very sparkle horsey in a pink glittery pen :] anyway I hope you don't mind I saved that particular paragraph so I could go back and reread it to cheer myself. I read it again today while I was at work actually!

Virtually I am giving you a big hug and flowers 💐💕✨ be safe, be well. I am sending you love and stars across the internet 🌟

God. Second attempt at writing a sort of coherent Good Omens Season 2 rant/review/thoughts. Whatever you want to call it.

First, things I really enjoyed:

Pre-fall Crowley scene. Though this was not liked as much by some other critical Book fans. I understand from canon-conflicting perspective, but TV and Book Omens are separate in my head (sorry Neil Gaiman I can't buy the Same Canon thing)

The flashbacks scene (especially the one with Job and the Resurrectionist, the zombie one was kinda bad though)

Aziraphale getting to use the Bentley

Ok that's all that stood out to me of what I really liked. Time to complain!

God I'll just...start with The Kiss. I saw spoilers for it before I got a chance to watch it and immediately felt disappointment. I do like the Ineffable Husband ship, but I liked it as this...vague thing they kinda had going on in the back. They absolutely did not need an angsty one-sided confession scene with a forced kiss. Everything about it felt so inorganic too. I was trying to be open to the possible (different/romantic) chemistry they might have in s2, but it never happened. Instead there was Nina and telling Crowley he's in love with Aziraphale. Even though nothing really indicated that? To the public they could just be friends?

They did make more "gay jokes" (like they did once in season 1, which I did not like, it was very amatonormative which goes against the vibes those two have). Did not like those. Felt forced.

I have made posts before about the lack of aro and qpr representation in media and Yes that does play into why I did not like this ending of the season. It felt like this possible representation was forcibly taken away from me. I get to be sad about that. It's technically a separate argument but I'm throwing it here anyway.

Aside from That, the vibes of season 2 was...not really Good Omens? I really love the season 1 adaptation on so many levels. It is not perfect and there is valid criticism to be given, but overall it catches the absurdist comedy and relevance of everyone at play Very Well. Both the book and the show have this "ah it's all coming together" thing that's executed so well. I agree Crowley and Aziraphale got more of a main character role in the Show vs. The Book (where the humans and nonhumans are equally important/get similar screentime). And they amplified this in season 2. This post-book "canon" seems to focus a lot on Crowley and Aziraphale, which feels Wrong. They don't work on their own like they did in the Book/s1. It was their interaction with Earth and its Humans that made them shine in the end. Giving them their own problems to deal with was incredibly uninteresting. This is probably why the flashbacks stood out to me more. ...Yeah, I think it boils down to them not being as interesting on their own.

(of course when fans draw Book Omens Ineffable Husbands it's a different thing altogether, but art or comics usually don't have TV-style drama)

I feel I should say something about Gabriel and Beelzebub? It caught me by surprise that I just laughed when I saw it unfold. It was just very weird idk. I will miss Beelzebub though, I loved their trash gender vibes (then again, the new actor did not sell the vibes as well as the previous actor).

This season made me dive a little into the Book Omens fandom again and made me realise how much I missed the Book. I read it back in 2017 and a lot of fine details are lost on me. I want to read it again for sure. I see a lot of mixed reactions from Book fans on this season. Oftentimes criticism of different kinds, sometimes someone who did kind of like the season.

Overall I hate it when a screen adaptation takes a fandom over. I have to see incredibly bad takes on the Ineffable Husbands every day since the show came out.

In short: it was mostly not as interesting/memorable and I am pissed off about the kiss scene that I have to see everywhere.

#good omens critical #good omens #good omens season 2 #book omens #hey the negative stuff is under a read more #unless you're open to criticism of your beloved gay angel demon show you shouldn't open the post okay? #this isn't important enough to ruin someone's day bc they like the show #but do know that i find the tv omens fandom (the ones who didnt read the book) to be annoying as hell #not the individuals obviously. #anyway is this coherent at all #i tried to just make paragraphs on the main stuff that bothered me #I will push the qpr acearo ineffable husbands agenda

I always knew Tenko was a spark of hope for Tomura, I get that Shigaraki was AFO creation but for him to be gone I feel like I lost my favorite character. He wasn't really healed or helped. It just feels like Tenko is a new character that we don't know. The character I know was Tomura Shigaraki. And it just feels like he is still suffering like he just ended in pain as just a vessel, no closure. I know he was Tenko but for the Shigaraki part to be swallow up is sad. I hope im understanding wrong

Look, I can’t tell you how to feel or change what your personal preferences are. I can’t. All I can do is explain my interpretation of the situation. And along with that, explain how my preferences and many other peoples preferences who, much like me, read this manga for the villains—bring about a different reaction to the Tenko/Tomura situation.

I can tell you that, from what I’m reading in your ask, you are taking the Tenko/Tomura situation very very literal. And you’re not supposed to. And I’ll explain under the cut.

Tenko and Tomura are literally the same person. They are the same. exact. person. I understand that it might feel confusing maybe with the way AFO phrased things this chapter, but I'll just link to these posts I made explaining that already instead of repeating myself (Post 1; Post 2).

"He wasn't really healed or helped. It just feels like Tenko is a new character that we don't know. The character I know was Tomura Shigaraki. And it just feels like he is still suffering like he just ended in pain as just a vessel, no closure."

No, the character you know is Tenko Shimura, turned into Tomura Shigaraki by AFO. The parts of Tomura that you like are from Tenko. Everything else about Tomura is just an identity tailor made from trauma.

Honestly tell me what do we know about Tomura Shigaraki that doesn't also apply to Tenko? What part of Tomura's personality is so separate from little Tenko that isn't just a personality warped by trauma and gaslighting and believing horrible things about himself?

His manga profile literally says he likes "nothing." NOTHING. NOT EVEN VIDEO GAMES, which we knew by that time that he did play them and took a liking to them. I'm pointing this out because....the author deliberately gave him very very few personality traits that aren't just the way he acts as a result of his trauma.

Tenko is just a name that is associated with different circumstances and a different part of his life, not a different person. Healing Tenko IS healing Tomura.

To say that healing Tenko is ignoring Tomura is just incorrect and not supported by what we know. Because they are not two different people. We literally saw Tenko's thoughts and feelings surface in Tomura's body this chapter. If they were different people, Tenko would not be slipping through the cracks of the AFO possession/takeover and making an appearance at all. He would just be a completely separate entity with a different body altogether. But that's not the case here. They are one person--just two different identities.

The idea here is for those identities to merge. Because little Deku and little Tenko having their moment in the vestige isn't going to undo all of the damage AFO did. But leaving Tomura as he is isn't going to erase his core personality that is Tenko. Tenko will have to heal from all the trauma he endured, AND have to heal from all of his experiences living as Tomura Shigaraki.

I honestly don't know where the "two different people" take came from tbh. It's a popular take, so I really don't understand it. In BNHA that isn't even remotely shown to be the case.

Literally the only difference between these two scenes:

--is that Tenko/Tomura has two different names he's gone by. Aside from that, there is zero difference between those two scenes.

You know who else has different names?

Touya. But oddly enough, I don't see the same treatment given to Touya saying that--Shouto healing Touya is just leaving Dabi to rot. Nobody is saying that (that I can see) because that's not the case. Touya and Dabi are the same person.

The only difference between Touya and Tenko is that the OFA/AFO plotline throws things for a loop incorporating the vestige plane/alternate world or whatever, so it leaves more possibilities up in the air. But BNHA is rather consistent in how it uses the child versions of characters. This has been done several times throughout the series, and nobody talks about how 5 year old Deku, Bakugo, or Shouto are somehow different people from their current selves. Their child selves are just used to portray genuineness and honesty. It's used for big moments that matter, JUST like with the conclusion of Touya and Shouto's fight. It's literally no different from that.

Also....I don't know why people want Tomura to remain Tomura. Tomura is miserable. Literally miserable all the time. He said it himself, he'll never feel good again. Why??? Do people want him to remain that way??? I don't get it. Tomura thinks he MURDERED his family. Tomura thinks he is only useful to destroy and take away. Tomura gets no relief from any of the grief he's carried right below the surface for 16 years. Tomura cannot stay the way he is. He literally cannot remain as AFO's little creation. He has to find himself. And he is Tenko Shimura, at his core, that is who he is. He can't be Tenko Shimura until he stops hating himself and hating everything else. Only then can the entire person be set free.

Him going by the name "Tenko" is not taking anybody's favorite character away. He's the same person.

Now...here is where I think personal preference is going to divide the fandom and the reactions:

The people who wanted Shigaraki to "power of friendship" his way out of the possession are very very likely going to be disappointed. Idk, I'm just being honest. This is a hero story and the main hero character's main challenge is saving. Tomura is not a sustainable identity, so bolstering and enabling that identity by making the League a source of strength all of a sudden doesn't really work with what's been set up to happen. It also like, completely contradicts a lot of the other League members' developments so far. And, even though Mirio's words triggered a DIFFERENT, unexpected memory in Tomura, his words are still important and still point out a flaw in the League as a group. Tomura needs help. Toga needs help. Touya needs help. Spinner needs help. And, literally all of them are in horrible situations right now. So how they, as a group, are supposed to be a source of strength for each other, how they are supposed to suddenly pull themselves out of their own misery to support Shigaraki in his, or Shigaraki doing the vice versa, is beyond me. I personally never saw that happening or predicted that happening, so I'm not the least bit surprised or disappointed here. I get being disappointed and wanting a different direction, but personally I'm not.

The upset I'm seeing to this are people who mostly wanted that type of route for the story to take. Maybe that's not the category you're in, but I'm just voicing my take on that. The League, while are definitely important to each other to an extent and are friends, are in no shape to be anything to each other right now.

However, I can't change how you or anybody else feels about the situation. There is some notable dislike for the possession situation, reasons that are too much to add onto this post. But I'm personally satisfied, REALLY satisfied with it. Tomura Shigaraki/Tenko Shimura is my favorite also, and I'm fully confident that he ain't goin anywhere.

How is villian! warrior different than regular warrior and what are any small differences between the villain/yandere bois

Okay, so, I might make separate posts about the other boys because head empty but this is what I have for Warriors and Conflict!

First off, similarity between the two is that they're both soldiers, so they share a certain empathy about the horrors of war and are in a way, changed men from the experience. Meeting both before their journey's would be a different experience from meeting their current selves.

So, with Warriors, he's the hero destined to defeat the darkness and he did just that, not only that but he won the war he was fighting. He was on the winning side, blessed the entire way with people he could mostly trust (except for that one time, as we all know) Warriors is a soldier, so he knows the horrors of that and has the trauma but he's also the hero and deep down has the idea that no one is a match for his capabilities. (As we know he got too cocky when handling Fi, and while I'm positive that he would definitely better himself after it, slip-ups still happen)

He's a man built on loyalty, to his kingdom and to those around him because that's what helped him win the war.

Conflict was drafted into the war, mostly able to avoid the goddesses calling for most of his life up until that point and he'd saw the losing side of this all, seeing armies being massacred and the people siding with the "enemy" (There's a whole thing I have with the villains and the goddess that I'll explain at a further date if asked!) When it was revealed to him that he was the Goddess' "hero" he thought it would balance the scales in the fight- it didn't. Coupled with the betrayal, he started to see the war as it really was and instead of wanting to fix the problems he just wanted to wipe them from the map. Lana was killed, the Goddess helped with nothing and he was left to fend for himself as his enemies closed in. I see at the end of his journey, realising no one, not even the princess had his back and just decides "Well, if no one has me, I guess I only have myself." and proceeds backstab everyone.

Conflict is probably the most deceitful out of all the villains, but for skewered reasons, he wants to get rid of everything altogether for peace, and he's happy to backstab anyone who gets in his way. He despises the goddess for abandoning him and therefore, hates the other villains, so he doesn't care what they have planned, if the goddess is involved he's gonna ruin it.

It's why he's the one to let Player go in the first place.

Conflict also has a scar on the left side of his lip that goes down to his chin! It's pretty faded but still there! Hope this helped!
