summary: matt, chris and you watch the miami heat vs boston celtics game since matt and chris root for their hometown team, and you also do the same for the heats. The stakes get high during the game and your mouth begins to get smart so Matt decides to put you in your place

“You got the drinks?!” I yelled while collecting the snacks off the counter, bringing them to the living room. “Getting this ready for a fucking basketball game is pathetic, drinks, chips, candies?! You don’t need all of that shit." Nick protested against us watching the games because he wanted to watch Edward Scissors-Hands for the umpteenth time.

I jumped onto the couch beside my boyfriend, wearing the green Celtics jersey “We’re gonna beat Miami bad.” He flaunted his team, grabbing the bag of chips I set on the table. Chris crept up, placing three shot glasses and a Casamigos bottle on the table.

“Finally some Caso-freak-hoes, I’m tired of the Julio” Matt scoffed, playing around, looking like he was offended because his favourite drink to sip on was Don Julio.

“With every quarter, whoever is leading the losing team has to take a shot” Chris raised his eyebrows at us, and I took the bet, so we all took a shot for pre-game.

At one point, once the game was beginning, we all sat down on the couch and watched the referee throw the jump ball, which the Heats got the power of. “See we started this off and we’re gonna finish it” He rolled his eyes snatching the bag of chips from my grip, my hand still remaining in the position it was before. Not even a few seconds later, the Celtics had the power of the ball and got a 3-pointer on their first shot.

We watched the first quarter go by quickly as the Celtics led by 9 points, and I shook my head. “We’re smoking the heats right now,” Chris nagged, pulling on my shirt and making me roll my eyes. “You gotta take you shotttt,” he said, singing.

Matt poured my glass to the rim, then passed to me, “Cel-tics, Cel-tics, Cel-tics!” They chanted as the tequila burned my throat. Chris clapped in amusement, pouring my Dr. Pepper into a red cup. Matt smirked with a winner-winner chicken dinner smile, and I stuck out my middle finger in defence, which he smacked down and raised a brow at me. “Don’t try that shit princess.” I stayed silent until the game started again.

Jayson Tatum on the Celtics started off the 2nd quarter with a 3-pointer once again, which got Matt and Chris jumping out of their seats, hollering for their team as I laid back in my seat. By the time that the 2nd quarter ended, Bos 42, Mia 27 and I was taking the piss… and this shot.

Matt once again began to put my shot in, but this time painfully slow, talking his mouth off about how the Celtics are going to shit on my team. I got ahold of my glass. “Shut up before I throw this shot in your face” I said without thinking, downing the liquor in the next few seconds. When I placed my cup down, Matt had his tongue pushing against his cheek, staring straight at me.

I completely ignored him, waiting impatiently for the ads to end and the 3rd quarter to start, I arose from my seat and walked to the kitchen to get more ice for my soda. “I’m not gonna tell you again, I hope you know that” Matt had said following me “Yeah, I know” I bitched.

“Stop being a fucking brat, it’s just a game, and we’re just having fun” I walked back to the couch after slamming the fridge door shut, sitting on Chris’ side of the couch instead since I was getting irritated by Matt.

The third time. For the third fucking time, the Celtics started off with a 3-pointer. It was like they were mocking me on the screen at this point. Once the shot sank in, Matt looked behind the couch and Chris’ head, at me, burning a hole through my head. It was 70 - 45 and at this point, I was so over it that I instead took the bottle off the table and poured myself a shot before the quarter even ended.

I was about to drink the shot when Matt stopped me “Chill out, Miami is done for so you don’t even need to be having your 4th shot of the night” I glanced at him, looking back at the shot, tempted to just take it.

“Don’t tell me what to do, I know how to handle my drinks, plus it’s just a game and we’re having fun right?” I clapped back which made Chris’ jaw drop as he began to snicker, looking at Matt with a you’re going to take that smile, unable to leave his face.

“I think she’s a bit tired now; come on, up” Matt demanded, curving around Chris to grab my wrist and pulled me out of my place on the couch. I resisted at first but then I saw the pissed expression on his face and realized what I had done. He guided me up the stairs, smacking my ass while I walked up too slowly.

I entered Matt’s room and he shut the door loudly behind him “Strip and get on your knees” I hesitantly removed my shorts, then my Miami jersey and my bra and finally my panties.

I listened to his orders and got on my knees to the cold floor and pulled his grey sweatpants and boxers down with me. "You talk too much. How about we use your mouth for something better?”

His cock slapped against my face and he glared down at easily becoming impatient with me, I spit on his tip then spread it around his shaft working with my hands at first.

He pulled my head back from refrain myself from sucking his dick. “You thought you were gonna suck my dick? Brats get their throats fucked”

The back of his head hit the end of the cold sink for support but he still held my hair in his hand and his dick in the other.

“Open your mouth for me princess” He smacked his length on my face before shoving it all on mouth choking me out, my head was in his hands filling my cheeks.

His mouth was at a ‘o’ moans escaping and his head falling backwards, I felt choked out by his girth, warm tear falling down my cheeks “You like being a brat, you can take it” He smiled at my expense, pushing my head so far back that my lips touch his balls, gagging.

My hands held the back of his thighs “Hands behind your back” He slapped my cheek lightly as I winded my hands behind my back, bobbing my head at an animalistic pace. He thrusted his dick towards my face until he pulled out jerking his cock and coming on my face.

“You’re not going to talk to me smart again huh?” I nodded taking the stickiness off my face, licking it off my fingers. “Get into the bed and spread those legs for me, princess” I obeyed his orders, taking my naked body onto the bed, the cold air hitting my nipples, making me wince.

Once Matt took off his jersey, he came up in-front of me, opening my folds and placing his middle finger on my clit, playing with it. He dipped his fingers in me, making me gasp, gaping up at Matt and his dangling silver chain.

Matt finished prepping me and aligned his length to my soaking cunt. I whined loudly as he thrusted his cock into me without remorse. “Matt please, please slow, slow” My hand landed on his chest, “Brats don’t get what they want baby,"  he moaned in my ear.

Matt raised my arms over my head, intwining my fingers with him to press into me deeper. I felt Matt’s warm breath on my neck and our warm skin meshing together. Matt’s thrusts were hard, hitting my g-spot repeatedly at an animalistic pace.

We looked down together, watching his cock disappear and reappear in me “You’re so perfect; this pussy is so perfect." He kissed, sucked, and licked my neck, making dark circles. His sultry words made me wetter, our lewd sounds of moans and whimpers mixed together. I grabbed on his neck so my eyes locked with his and he smirked, not parting with them.

My wet insides squeezed around him as he slid into me feeling his pre-cum leak inside of me. “Say my name princess.” He purposely dug so deep I didn’t even know he could reach that far.

“Matttt— Matthew!” I violently came, my legs trembling with all the pleasure taking over my body. I squeezed Matt’s cock in so hard when I came that he released inside of me. I whimpered with Matt’s and my cum coated in and over my pussy. “We’re going to go back and watch the rest of the game, you better behave.”

“Yes” Matt walked into the bathroom finding wipes to clean between my thighs and my stomach, helping me up. I waltzed downstairs with a limp “Celtics just beat Heats by 20 points” Chris announced.

Matt glanced at me with a grin on his face teasing me “I told you so”

[comradekatara]

How much do I need to pay for some more aang and suki shenanigans?

same girl!!! their friendship (that is almost entirely hypothetical and mostly exists in my head) is soo important to me i just know they’re best friends. like obviously the fact that suki is close with appa and momo already signifies a lot about the nature of their relationship, but they barely interact throughout the show, which makes sense considering that suki is mostly there to supplement sokka’s character and all her other interactions with the gaang are fairly limited (katara and suki friendship though….. also deeply important. to me). but as the most emotionally healthy, stable, self-possessed, and just straight up cool members of the gaang, i just know they’d get along like a house on fire.

i think suki would pretty quickly come to see aang as a little brother figure the same way sokka does, and suki would be the big sister he never had in return. and they definitely get into all kinds of little adventures together after the war, like aang telling suki about the cactus juice incident and suki immediately being like “omg we NEED to try that (don’t tell sokka and katara)”, or going around helping rebuild villages and relocate displaced peoples together, or pranking each other in increasingly crazier ways.

oh yes the aang and suki prank war is very real (toph and katara have a concurrent prank war going on of course; zuko who is far too sensitive & gullible, and sokka who is far too anxious, refuse to be caught in the crosshairs of either of these conflicts). it starts at the western air temple and ends when both of them are dead. everyone on kyoshi island genuinely worships aang like a god and so they think suki is absolutely fucking insane for putting cactus juice in his smoothie right before he’s supposed to deliver a big speech, but she’s just like “no it’s gonna be so fucking funny, just trust me.” (and it is.)

the “putting a “snake” in your sleeping bag and humiliating you in front of your almost boyfriend and his hot dad -> reading katara a really bad poem and then claiming that aang wrote it for her -> loosening the bedframe in your bedroom on ember island so that it crashes during sex (the point at which aang learned NEVER to make sokka collateral damage in these escapades) -> making the whole gaang sit through a colonialist propaganda play just because you know it’ll piss aang off -> putting hot sauce in your red face paint so that it stings and burns your eyelids so bad throughout the entirety of zuko’s coronation day -> nearly causing an international incident because you straight up endangered the life of the avatar” pipeline is so fucking real you guys.

and for what it’s worth, a lot of people assume that aang and suki actually hate each other, and that’s why they’re so invested in this prank war. but they love each other deeply, and that’s evident whenever they’re not in the middle of concocting a nefarious revenge plot, like when they go for long walks together, or just sit and chill outside, or cook together, or any other one of the many other activities they enjoy in each other’s company. they don’t hold grudges either. the pranking is fun for them because they’re both secure enough in themselves to understand that it’s being done out a shared sense of joy and whimsy, and not out of any desire to genuinely antagonize the other. to be fair, sometimes their pranks do actually go too far in various ways, but again, no hard feelings. it’s just a testament to the skill of the pranker, and an invitation for the other to step up their game.

#professordino #asks #aang #suki #aang&suki #go thru that tag for more aang&suki shenaningans. btw #they are so important to me #as are all big sister little brother relationships…… for no reason in particular . of course

do you happen to have any other bls with toxic kings up your sleeve? i’m as giddy as you when it comes to ming! i’m newer to bls, so there’s a good chance i haven’t seen whatever you suggest.

Anon, I have an entire roster of toxic characters because

I LOVE TOXIC BITCHES!

Like 2 Chainz rapped on one of my favorite songs, "I love bad bitches, that's my fuckin' problem" which is why I HATE when a story won't allow characters to be toxic. Like we all know the character IS toxic, but the story keeps telling us he isn't that bad or he is only that bad because reasons. Regardless of the reasons, the character is a bad bitch so why not just let him fucking own it, which is truly the reason Only Friends pissed me off so much.

Case and point, my favorite characters were Ray and Nick. Ray was calling Sand a whore every two seconds and throwing money at him, while Nick was recording non-consexual sex tapes, yet the narrative wanted me to think they were just sad dudes who were slightly problematic.

NAH! Nick straight up said he was trash! THEY WERE TOXIC just like everyone else in that damn show!

Which is why I liked Kang in Dangerous Romance because I don't feel like the narrative eased up on his toxicity. In fact, I feel like the story said Sailom was into it with that master/servant scene at the very end.

So in order for me to love a toxic character, they must 1) be considered toxic by the story, and 2) stay toxic, so I'm going to give you a list of ten of my favorites, but know that spoilers are coming your way too. Also know that I do not recommend anything, ever, so these are not recommendations. These are merely my favorite toxicitos.

Mis tóxicos favoritos

presented in no particular order

Todd - Not Me

This man had his lover (it's canon to me) beat into a coma. Then, he went and grabbed that man's twin brother and made him take on his lover's persona all so he could overthrow his competition and be the number one evil capitalist. And then, AND THEN, he was excited to see his lover, Black, return even though he knew that meant he was probably going to die. Honestly, his entire relationship with Black was toxic, and I desperately need more of it. Not Me 2: Blackout when? WHEN, GMMTV?!

Rio & Kido - The Novelist Series

Rio blew Kido in front of an old man in broad daylight, so they could get a book deal. That's just one of the many fucked up things these two did together, but they were even worse apart. Rio lied to a college student for months about his arm being injured and writing pornographic novels just to turn on the college student and fuck him because . . . he was bored? It's deeper than that, but it kinda ain't. Rio and Kido did toxic shit to feel alive and that's my special brand of toxic. I will never make excuses for them. I like them this way.

Yai - Big Dragon

The very beginning of this show, as in the very first scene, is Yai and Mangkorn having sex AFTER Yai drugged Mangkorn in hopes of sexually assaulting him and recording it. AND MANGKORN IS INTO IT! Yai tries to steal Mangkorn's phone and ruin his life too, but Mangkorn is so in love with Yai, that he is willing to play along with whatever Yai does including fighting Yai. This is one of my favorite BLs for a multitude of reasons, but the biggest is because instead of trying to tame Yai, Mangkorn just decided to match his toxic energy! I love that for them.

Songpol - Club Friday

Bank plays toxic very well, which is why he has two characters on this list, even though this show isn't technically a BL. Club Friday is already a hot mess express, so to be the most toxic character in a show filled with toxic characters means that Songpol was TOK-SICK! He cheated on his boyfriend with multiple men. When his boyfriend left him for a woman, he showed up outside of that woman's house calling her a whore. He then went to their wedding just so he could fuck his ex in a bathroom (on his wedding day). He continued to hook up with his ex, and sent a video to his ex's wife of them having sex, only for her to tell him to move into the house and continue having sex with her husband! AND THAT'S ONLY THE SECOND EPISODE! He was serving telenovela villain, and I want him back.

Vegas - KinnPorsche

The scene: Vegas' beloved hedgehog has just died and he has carried out a tiny funeral for him while the bodyguard he has been holding hostage AND TORTURING comforts him, but instead of sitting in that grief, Vegas tells the bodyguard that the bodyguard is probably turned on by seeing Vegas weak, then proceeds to fuck him. Skipping over the fact that Vegas drugged Porsche, killed Tawan, got Big and Ken murdered by extension, and a plethora of other horrible shit, Vegas was a HUGE red flag from the very beginning, and I wanted him to choke me so badly. *bites knuckles*

Charn - Laws of Attraction

He had his reasons, but the story and his husband didn't let that be an excuse for his toxic behavior. He tried burning down Tinn's house, with Tinn and his grandmother in it, and Tinn was very upset about it. Not enough to not sleep with Charn, but enough to get his point across that if Charn wanted to burn something down, he needed to focus on burning down the oppressive heteronormative government, so we could all have basic human rights. Toxic, but for the cause.

Chalothon - The Sign

I knew he was a problem because the way he handled his patients, but he truly proved how toxic he was when he told Phaya he would kill Tharn before letting Phaya have him. I'm mad that the show made him good in the last episode, with most of if being off-screen, but I'll always remember how he committed psychological warfare on Phaya for eleven episodes in hopes of making Phaya seem crazy, and actually made Tharn, Phaya's soulmate, question Phaya's sanity.

Mol - 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us

The only woman on this list and she isn't even queer. That's how toxic this chick was that she made it on a this list being a heterosexual, which was a major part of her toxicity. She is a top-tier gaslighter to her son. She doesn't actually consider Inn her friend. She uses feminist rhetoric to be homophobic. She manipulates every situation in her favor by using tears. I could write a list just about her being lead paint toxic, but the most fucked up part is that she got to ride off into the sunset with her son in the passenger seat being miserable, which is what she wanted. No other BL parent could reach her level. Korn and Gun from KinnPorsche exist, yet this woman would eat them alive without hesitation, then go throw a party for herself. She really is that bitch.

Yong Jie - HIStory 4: Close to You

I'm not going to bullshit around him being a whole ass problem. This motherfucker is the most controversial pick on this list, and I am well aware of why he is hated by the people, but the story told us he was the devil. The show treated everything he did like stalking, physical assault, and sexual assault as horrible, and he got knocked out for it. HIStory 4 is my favorite BL, ever, and part of it is because the story let this toxic motherfucker BE toxic. I love how much I hate him, and I love how much the story allows me to hate him.

So - House of Stars

This show was a mess, so I was not expecting this man to come out as THE toxic king to rule over every other toxic character. What made him so toxic is that I had no idea just how toxic he was until the exact moment I realized it, and that's why he is one of my favorites. He was sneaky. He was playing everyone against each other. He was letting the bodies stack up. He was Tan from Dead Friend Forever without anyone figuring out he was Tan. One person realized part of his plan, but even then, that person was not aware of how committed to the bit So was. This smile was the very last scene of the show, and it really proved that this boy ruined everyone's lives only to walk out of it completely unbothered. You know, king shit.

#toxic kings #I love toxic bitches #it's the unhinged behavior and mind games that always gets me #house of stars #history 4: close to you #180 degree longitude passes through us #club friday #kinnporsche #big dragon #laws of attraction #the sign #not me #the novelist

Incidentally, we can't really talk about pragmatism without talking about Future Trunks.

Krillin is a devious and underhanded martial artist, but still a martial artist. Trunks is an assassin. He goes straight for the throat at every opportunity. He's not here to fight; He's here to kill.

Much like his father, Trunks is not a martial artist. Every bit Vegeta's son, he's naturally gifted and has already become a Super Saiyan by both of his first appearances - in the story, when he fights Frieza on Earth, and also chronologically in Trunks the Story: A Lone Warrior.

I can't really say he's untrained. He was trained in the basics by Gohan. But Gohan is also not a martial artist; He's had one year and six months of proper martial arts training. One year from Piccolo and six months from Krillin.

Gohan's a fighter, guided by emotion moreso than technique. So there's a limit to how much Trunks can learn from him. Even Gohan admits that he's a poor substitute for his dad.

This, I should note, is a meaningful admission from Gohan because this chapter was published at the very beginning of the Cell Games. Gohan outright saying "I wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps but the clothes aren't enough" sets up an important contrast to the Gohan of the present time who has had that time with Goku and is ready to take his place.

But his concession of inadequacy is important for how we interpret Trunks as well. Trunks knows the stuff. He can perform Bukujutsu. Throw ki blasts. Power up into a Super Saiyan. But he's not Goku or Krillin or Yamcha or Tenshinhan; Like Gohan and Vegeta, he is a fighter, not a martial artist.

His heart is in the right place, but he's reckless and foolhardy. Chomping at the bit for a piece of vengeance.

This recklessness carries into his journey to the past. He never quite learns from his brief offscreen shitstomp by the Twins. He returns to a point in history just after Goku's return from space. Historically, this was a key moment in history where Goku showed up in the nick of time to save Earth from Frieza and his father King Cold. Which should technically be Great King Cold as it's Cold-Daio but he's far from the first king to have his Greatness dropped in translation, eh Piccolo?

But when Goku's late to the party, Trunks starts to worry and decides to step in himself.

Look at him. The spitting image of his father, full of piss and vinegar.

It's here that we get to see Trunks as a fighter for the very first time. Even chronologically; In Trunks the Story, they skip most of the action; It's very brief.

I mean. It's an absolutely hilarious joke that we see Trunks flying off half-cocked to go get revenge and then he's waking up from a coma on the very next page. Amazing cutaway gag.

But we're here to talk about Trunks's DNA as a fighter, so Frieza offers us the first material we have to work with. And Trunks? He does not fuck around.

Your soldiers are dead. Who's next?

You're dead. Who's next?

Your father's dead. We done here?

Trunks gives zero shits. In the span of two chapters, he massacres Frieza, Cold, and all of their soldiers without an ounce of hesitation. He is not playing.

He was even paying attention to the part where Frieza can survive grievous amounts of harm and come back. He takes great care to thoroughly and utterly annihilate every last bit of Frieza. Taking no chances.

Trunks isn't here to fight. He's here to kill. He is not interested in a protracted martial arts bout.

This fight, incidentally, also gives us a moment to talk about Trunks's sword. Cold-Dumbass thinks Trunks's sword is the key to his power.

He's an idiot. There's a reason he only exists for like three chapters and one page of a fourth. This man doesn't even understand how weapons work in anime.

Japan and the West have very different relationships with weapons. When Westerners think of weapons, we think of guns. Even when we write medieval weapons, we treat them like guns. Guns are disposable tools that bestow killing power upon their wielder. Any average Joe with a gun suddenly becomes a lethal warrior.

But Japan has a rich history and philosophy baked into their culture surrounding weapons and their role in martial arts. In anime, a weapon does not grant power; It manifests power. The weapon is an extension of its wielder. It's a means by which the wielder expresses their own strength.

In Trunks's hands, that sword can cut through Frieza. Because Trunks is powerful, and his might outshines Frieza's.

In Cold's hands, however, that sword is harmless. Because Cold is weak and cowardly. (Uh, relative to Trunks.) He has no power to express.

But Goku is strong. Goku knows power intimately, far beyond Trunks's understanding. And so Trunk's sword, his expression of power, is useless against Goku.

This is what Trunks's sword means, to him and to the story. It's an extension of his character and his strength; The means by which he delivers his killing force. Which is precisely what makes this moment so devastating.

When 18 breaks Trunks's sword, she breaks Trunks. The damage to his blade is honestly not that severe. It could probably be reforged. But the damage to Trunks's self-image, to his psyche, is unshakable.

Trunks never uses his sword again. He leaves it on the plane here.

And then we never see it again. Instead, Trunks decides to pursue greater martial arts training alongside his father, following in Vegeta's footsteps.

But he never quite loses his assassin streak. Though he begins to develop his abilities as a fighter from this point forward, Trunks is goal-oriented. He wants to kill the Twins. He doesn't care how that happens.

In the original version of these events, before Cell further altered the timeline, those blueprints were the key to Trunks's victory against the Twins of his timeline.

Though Cell has no idea how Trunks pulled off this victory despite being too weak to defend himself from Cell himself, the discovery of Gero's lab offers us a possible explanation.

The Twins have shutdown switches built into their systems. Though 17 destroyed the remote Gero built, Bulma is able to use these blueprints to build a new one.

So there's a solid implication that the weaker Trunks of Cell's timeline took Bulma's remote home with him and disabled the Twins that way. Again: He's not here to fight. He's here to kill. It doesn't matter how he does it.

...well, I guess it does matter 'cause that Trunks got wasted by Cell five minutes later.

Point is, Trunks wears his goal-oriented ruthlessness on his sleeve. He's not driven by pride of by love of the art. He has a job he's here to do.

However that single-minded focus, that determination to get it done, also holds him back. Trunks has never had proper martial training. He's been taught by Future Gohan, who is not a martial artist. And he's... taught himself near Vegeta. His developed his abilities and increased his strength, but he doesn't know fighting the way Goku or Krillin or Yamcha or Ten do. Nor does he have Vegeta's natural brilliance and general understanding.

Trunks, for all his strength and all his determination and all his killing instinct, is an amateur. We all know what happened to him in the last fight he ever fought here in the present.

Vegeta breaks the limits of the Super Saiyan and realizes that this power is good but comes at a cost, so he should only do it sparingly.

Goku breaks the limits of the Super Saiyan and realizes this form sucks and is stupid, and decides to go a different route entirely.

But Trunks breaks the limits of the Super Saiyan and goes "AWWW YEAH THIS IS THE SHIT GIMME THAT POWER" because he doesn't know. He has a killer's instinct, not a martial artist's. He's never been trained in technique.

We see, over the course of this series, both Trunks's strengths and his weaknesses as a fighter. In every altercation, he goes straight for the throat. Which is brutally effective when he has the power to back it up but Trunks, more than anyone, is vulnerable to a crushing defeat if he doesn't have the Power Level to back it up. He has nothing else.

Still, he gets to go out on a high note. His final chapter sees him return to the future, not with the remote but with the great strength he gained in the Room of Spirit and Time. And he gets to clean house his way - slaughtering the Twins efficiently and thoroughly, in true Trunks fashion.

And also getting Cell for good measure.

Godspeed, killer. You were the best your world had left to offer but you rose to the occasion, and that's the most that could be asked of anyone.

Honestly with all the overlap between sci-fi and fantasy fans, I’m really surprised that “high fantasy in space” isn’t more of a thing.

There are some things generally assumed by most to be sci-fi that I’d personally label space fantasy, like Star Wars, where the high tech is just there as a backdrop to a classic heroic story of good guys vs. bad guys, who are definitely doing magic (by using the force). The point of Star Wars isn’t the tech or anything, it just happens to be a tale told in space. It contrasts pretty starkly with something like Star Trek, where the vast majority of episodes revolve around exploring whatever scientific or philosophical concept the writers thought would be kinda neat that week, using established characters as a vehicle for said exploration.

I think one of my favorite things about Honkai Star Rail is that it freely and unabashedly mixes sci-fi and fantasy. It just goes “You are a walking neutron bomb. Also turns out your bestie is from a self-reincarnating race of dragon people with powerful water and illusion magic. They live on this big, planet-sized ship that’s dedicated to hunting down this one cosmic horror that cursed all the ship’s inhabitants with immortality, under the banner of this other cosmic horror that exists solely to kill the first cosmic horror. Let’s go on vacation to the theme park planet, the actual resort is technically an Alice-in-Wonderland style dream triggered by the same kinda cosmic-horror-gifted bomb as you. Your new friend is a meme. By the way, did we tell you about the one time this super-genius harnessed the power of *imagination* to build a death ray that instantly obliterated a bunch of planets? That was kinda fucked up, huh.” Sometimes Star Rail tries to give explanations for its tech in a way that seems believably sciencey. Sometimes shit’s just straight up called magic or it’s from some deity or another and none of the characters present have a good understanding of why, so you all just go about your bullshit. It makes it work within the context of its established universe.

Cosmic horror in general is often (but not always) found in sci-fi, but where the point of sci-fi is to expand on and detail a concept in a believably scientific way or explore the impacts of a scientific thing, the point of cosmic horror is that there is a Thing that is beyond human understanding or comprehension. Sci-fi is a fun thing to insert it into, because the more scientifically sensible and well-understood elements of the world you have, the more jarring that becomes.

Then you’ve got things like Dungeon Meshi, which exists in an inverse of something like Star Rail: it takes a very Tolkien-inspired Dungeons and Dragons-esque setting, and then details it in a very scientifically sensible way. There is magic, and there are these fantastical monsters, yes, but the monsters are parts of their own delicate and intricate ecosystems, they are edible, and they have very particular nutritional values and ways you can cook them! The protag’s biggest strength lies in him being a nerd about monster biology. Magic, too, by the end of it, ends up with a plausible enough explanation as well. And the explanation is a cosmic horror! In this way, Dungeon Meshi, despite being built entirely off of very easily recognizable and classic fantasy tropes, is probably more accurately classed as sci-fi.

I just love all of it. Can I get like 50 more of these fucked up lil mixtures of science and magic please?

#ch.txt #honkai star rail #dungeon meshi #star wars #star trek #sci fi #fantasy #tagging all these bc I wanna hear if other people have cool thoughts on the subject #hopefully this isn’t considered bloating those tags or w/e #this came about from musings and conversations abt what kinda world/story I wanna write? since I’m redoing my lil sci-fantasy project

Hunter: “…”

Pip: “We could have actually been finally free from this gilded birdcage.”

So I’ve never actually posted anything deeper into how Hunter and Pip think about each other/ their dynamic other than silly sibling dynamic but it’s actually a lot more interesting than that.

Pip and Hunter actually have a complicated relationship that somewhat is like funhouse mirror on what Philip and Caleb may have been like as they both flip flop between the two roles but ironically Hunter predominantly takes Philip’s role while Pip takes Caleb’s. Which uh caused a lot of disagreements.

In the au canon, they see themselves as actually being siblings rather than cousins because the fake story that Belos made is a lot different from the og canon of the show.

So rather than being Belos’s nephews like how Hunter is in the show, instead they are his actual children that he had with a human when he supposedly visited the human realm. This is what Hunter believes is the reason why he has no magic but pointed ears and why Pip thinks he has magic but round ears.

The story that Belos created in order to explain why their mum mysteriously missing is that a group of wild witches killed her and the rest of their family. It’s also the fake explanation for how both Pip and Belos got cursed.

This also adds credence to why Belos hates wild witches to the public and why the day of unity is so important because they’ve all been told it’s going to properly unite the human realm and the demon realm.

I also find it much more interesting that instead of Hunter just knowing that his “family” died in a mysterious way like in the show canon that instead Belos actually created an extremely detailed false family history so those two wouldn’t go snooping around searching for any missing details

it makes it even more fucked up when these two later learn that everything was a lie because to further solidify the illusion Belos even implanted false memories so uh these definitely two struggle with the consequences of figuring that out.

But yeah properly onto Pip and Hunter, both of them were basically inseparable as little kids but ended up drifting apart because Hunter had started working as the Golden guard and Pip was too young to help out (and also Belos didn’t want to have to go through the long and tedious process of cloning himself again) so Pip was often left behind bored and alone.

This boredom has consequences because when exploring the castle Pip found out about something he really shouldn’t have…He inadvertently ended meeting the collector who was also really bored and wanted to play with someone who’s not old and boring like Belos. Uh safe to say Pip straight up almost died when Belos walked in on him and the collector chatting about titans.

Hunter also ended up eventually getting involved to try and protect Pip but ended up getting that wound across his cheek. They obviously both survived but they were both punished by not being allowed to use healing magic on their wounds and to be locked in their rooms for the foreseeable future.

Pip sneaks out and attempts to convince Hunter to escape the castle and run away because it’s not the first time they’ve been almost killed for a mistake but Hunter believes that they had both deserved it for disobeying authority and refuses to come with Pip.

Pip just ends up escaping by sneaking on to an airship but almost gets caught by Belos but just escapes in the nick of time with just a scratch across his thigh. Luckily the airship was being piloted Lilith who had no idea that there was a stowaway onboard as she was too busy planing on how to finally convince Eda to join the emperor’s coven.

Oh yeah Eda straight up slams the door in Lilith’s face and tells Hooty to eat any intruders, Pip sneaks out of the airship as it’s about to leave and while trying to get a grasp of his surroundings, Hooty sees him and its on sight. Eda saves him and ends up with a new roommate along side King and Hooty and patches him up because she felt bad for the little guy.

I’ll talk about Hunter and Pip’s familial relationship in the modern times in another post as this one got really long TwT

But yeah that’s the origin to this post of small Pip and why him and Hunter have bad blood until they met again like 7 years later.

Wicked Desires

Azriel & Female O/C

SUMMARY: Everyone in the inner circle know about the mating bond between Azriel and Rhysand’s sister Octavia. It just takes a little bit of jealousy for them to confess their feelings for each other…

(VERY SMUTTY)

TW: Harassment

Octavia’s POV:

My chest heaved vigorously with the air around me and I noticed his hazel eyes calculating my next move. Azriel liked to fight dirty in the sparring ring, leaving no room for mess ups. It was hard for me to focus on a hot day like today in Velaris because Azriel's usual leathers were replaced with a vest that exposed his sculpted abs. He had a sheen of sweat there and it gave me unholy thoughts.

Next thing I knew, Azriel's sword swung in the air and I quickly countered it, just before it sliced my neck.

"NEVER let yourself get distracted during combat Tavia." Azriel cocked his head.

"I wasn't distracted." I lied, swiping for his torso, to which he deflected.

Fighting with him was like a dance. Deadly and calculated, but also passionate and intimate in a way. He pulled the previous attack I did on him, testing my reflexes.

"Then why were your eyes glued to my leathers?" He raised a brow and my cheeks reddened. A ghost of a smirk appeared on his lips and I almost rolled my eyes.

"I just noticed they're different from your usual attire." I shrugged and hit his sword with ease, becoming nervous from the confidence in his fighting stance. I had a feminine urge to be submissive for him when he circled around me like I was prey

"Hmm. So is yours." His smirk appeared as he raked his eyes over my body. I scrunched my eyebrows, jaw dropped. Azriel wasn’t usually this flirtatious. He took advantage of me being distracted again, swiping for my sword with all of his weight, and knocking it out of my hands. I twisted to the side as he went to slice my neck, but he pounced, grabbing my waist and pulling me to his torso to hold the sword at my throat. He didn't notice when I grabbed out my dagger, so I had it pointed straight at his exposed abs.

I almost shuddered from how close we were. Each of us vulnerable to the other. His hand rested on the bare skin under my crop top and tightened, causing my clit to throb.

"Seems like both of us are distracted from each others attire." I snapped as a seductive smile curved on his features. My thighs clenched, masking the hot arousal in between us. Azriel's nostrils flared at the scent and I bit my lip, his eyes darting down to the movement. If his sword wasn't at my throat I might've leaned in to kiss him.

"Stop eye fucking each other and get a room!!" Cassian bullied, causing Azriel to clear his throat and lower his sword.

His hand didn't move from my waist though, and I still pointed the dagger at him.

"You're just jealous that I'm not hot and bothered holding a dagger to your abs!" I stuck my tongue out, and a chuckle left Azriel's lips. Cassian just huffed and walked away.

"He's definitely jealous." Azriel's deep voice sent butterflies to my stomach and I looked up at him through my lashes, pulling my dagger away and sheathing it.

For a second we just stared at each other, then Azriel slowly and hesitantly removed his hand from my waist. I almost whined at the lack of his warm touch. The rest of our training had just as much sexual tension, but I toughed it out and was left tired and tense.

~~~

Mor made an effort to hound me about this morning, telling me I should just confess to Azriel how I feel about him. I told her it was obvious he liked Elain since they talked so much, but she just rolled her eyes, telling me that Elain couldn't have feelings for Azriel after her heart was broken from the cauldron and the human boy.

I took a nice shower and threw on a black halter criss cross cami top with a matching skirt, then strapped on a pair of black sandals that wrapped up my calves like vines.

"That shirt definitely does your tits justice." Mor winked as we walked out to the dinner table where everyone was already digging into the cheeses, fruit, and wine.

"Wow, that outfit looks amazing on you Tavia." Elain exclaimed from her spot next to Azriel. Basically the whole group nodded and smiled in agreement, except for Azriel.

Azriel raked his eyes over me the same way he did in the fighting ring, showing no shame in the way his eyes lingered on my tits and thighs. I just swallowed the lump in my throat and used my powers to hide the scent of my arousal.

A few pastries and bites of fruit and cheese later, I found myself sipping wine to wash down the nerves and full feeling in my stomach.

"So, you're saying that all of these males in the summer court literally fight over you, and you choose celibacy?" Mor slurred, causing Amren to snicker, Cassian and Feyre to smirk, and the rest of the table to widen their eyes. The conversations between everyone came to a halt and I chugged the rest of my wine, probably making my blush and embarrassment worse.

"I had a lot of sex years ago, I don't need to be whoring myself off like I used to." I shrugged, causing the Illyrians to cough.

"But, don't you get lonely?" Mor frowned and I rolled my eyes.

"She's a hopeless romantic." Amren bullied.

"Will you guys stop bothering my sister?" Rhysand chuckled and I gave him a thankful smile. He probably didn't want to hear anything about this as much as I didn't want to discuss it around the whole inner circle.

"She's saving herself for someone special." Amren ignored my brother and I almost groaned, pouring myself more wine. I could feel Azriel's gaze, and it took every ounce of willpower to ignore it.

"Who is it?" Nesta cocked her head and Elain smirked from across the table.

"Yeah do pray tell." I snapped, then gulped the rest of my...5th glass of wine?

"I can think of a certain Illyrian." Amren exposed, glancing at Azriel who had an amused expression on his face. Elain giggled next to him, as if she knew she was a better option for him than I was. Who could compare to someone so sweet and beautiful as her?

"Okay!" I threw my napkin onto the table and stood up, glaring at Amren. Yes, glaring at Amren. Who I used to be terrified to even speak to because of what she is.

"I'm done for the night." My cheeks burned with embarrassment, I felt everyone's eyes on me. I was also confused from the tug on whatever bond that was going on between Azriel and I. Gods the cauldron must hate me if it gave me a best friend and a mate who likes another female more.

"Hey! Come back! We were just teasing!" Amren hollered, but I was already running up the stairs. My heart was racing, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of here.

“Hey, everything okay?” My brother shot down my mental barrier.

“Yes, just fine.” I lied. But he didn't question me any further.

After a few deep inhales, I grasped onto my powers and summoned my wings, whilst at the same time hiding my scent and mental barriers from any onlookers. Then I jumped out of my window, flying up into the sky and winnowing to the borders of the summer court.

~~~

Tarquin himself greeted me.

"What is it friend? You seem troubled." His brows furrowed as a tear slid down my cheek. I hadn't realized my vision was blurry.

"I don't want to talk about it." I grumbled, accepting the drink he handed to me.

"There's a party tonight if you're interested?" He grinned, eyes brightening.

"You know that's an offer I can't refuse." I smirked, mood immediately better.

Tarquin and I became friends when he stepped up as the high lord of the Summer court. At that point Azriel and I were already friends because of my brother. He was quick to shoot down the ideas of me getting plastered in summer court parties. I knew I was in love with Azriel, so I did the right thing and stopped going to the parties years ago.

Right now, I figured a party would be the perfect release.

~~~

Azriel’s POV:

Gods she looked so fucking devasted when she left the room. After she left, Rhysand and Feyre were quick to tell Amren how pissed off they were. I couldn't help but be worried about my mate because everything to do with the bond went dead silent. Maybe Cassian was wrong. Speaking to Elain to make her jealous wouldn't work. I had to tell her straight up how I felt. I'm so fucking stupid. She's my best friend and I care about her so much, why didn't I just confess to her ages ago?

Oh yeah, because Rhysand fucking terrified me. He didn't approve until a few months ago when Feyre berated him. We also JUST had a long heart-to-heart. He mentioned that he wouldn’t hesitate to toss me in byraxis lair if I hurt his sister.

"Azriel, you need to go get your girl." Surprisingly Elain said that and gave me a smile, while everyone else in the group gave me an expectant look.

Little did Tavia know, everyone in the group knew we are mates. Mor, being her second closest friend in the group after me, found out that she thought I liked Elain more. No offense to Elain, but she doesn’t compare to my best friend. Octavia is my person. She's the most breathtaking and clever female I've ever been cauldron blessed to know.

"I guess it wasn't a bright idea to try to make her jealous." Cassian mumbled, causing Rhysand and Feyre to glare at us.

"You what?" Feyre singed the table, digging her claws into the wood, and I swear Cassian looked like he shit himself.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going." I stood up, winnowing to my mate's bedroom door and lightly knocking.

"Tavia?" I knocked again. No response. "Okay, I'm going to come in, I hope you're decent." I twisted the doorknob and quickly realized the room was empty. Fuck.

“She's not here.” I voiced for Rhysand.

"What do you mean she's not here?" Rhysand appeared at my side, eyes wide in anger. He searched her room for her scent, picking up on no traces of where she went.

"You better fix this." Feyre gave me a glare and I hated how scary she looked when she was protecting her mates sister.

There was only one place I could think of where my best friend would run off to, and I prayed I was right before I flew out of the house of wind and winnowed out of Velaris.

~~~

Octavia’s POV:

The lights in the big hall glowed a dark hue of red, and beams of rainbow light reflected off of the glass swan sculpture in the middle of the room. I lay on the laps of two men, admiring the scenery while completely intoxicated, a frown permanent on my face.

What was I thinking? That I could rebound my feelings for Azriel? There was no getting rid of the feelings I had for him. I’m literally his best friend, and I’m destined by the cauldron to be his mate.

"You're the sister of the high lord of the night court, aren't you?" The blonde I was sitting on said with a smirk while he gazed into my violet eyes.

"Pretty one." The brunette next to him slid his fingers up my skirt. I immediately tensed, realizing this was all wrong. I didn't want him to touch me like this. There was only one person I wanted to, and he wasn’t here.

"Thank you." I awkwardly shifted in the male's lap, grabbing his friends hand out of my skirt and attempting to stand on my feet. But they both grabbed my shoulders, holding me in place. Shit.

"Where do you think you're going little girl? We're not done with you."

"She's scared." One of the males laughed with a sadistic smile.

"Let me go." I glared and tugged against their grip. They both just chuckled at me.

Suddenly a gust of air made my hair blow in my face, and shadows erupted in the room, wrapping around my torso. Azriel was here. He found me. Even though I'd masked my scent. Did he come here to tell me he felt the same way I did for him? Or just because Rhysand was worried?

"You fucking heard her." Azriel grabbed my arms and pulled me into his chest, not hesitating to give the males a look that would kill if it was possible.

“Shit, that’s the shadowsinger.”

"I’m about five seconds from tearing your throats out, so get the fuck out of here and leave the women in here alone. Your high lord is going to hear about this, and so is mine." Azriel threatened, causing them to gulp and run away. He turned to look me in the eyes, assessing the damage I'd done to myself. The look of worry he gave me is all I needed to sober up. I leaned into his touch, curious what would happen next.

~~~

A second later he'd winnowed us to Velaris and flew up to the house of wind. He set me on the kitchen counter, grabbing me a glass of water.

“Drink.” He pushed the glass in my face. It wasn’t a suggestion, but a demand.

"You saved me." I gave him a smile, obeying his orders and grabbing the glass, taking a long gulp of the water.

"Well yeah. You're my mate." My heart skipped a beat at his words.

"So you do know. Do you even feel the same?" I rolled my eyes, tapping my nail against the glass.

"What do you mean?" My mate looked down at me with a frown.

"I thought you liked Elain more." I shrugged, avoiding eye contact.

A second is all it took for Azriel to take the glass out of my hands and grab my chin. His face was inches from mine, my thighs clenched together, and he took notice of this, giving me a smirk.

"I've always been in love with you. But I was scared to death of what your brother would do." Azriel confessed.

"That still doesn't explain why you're extra friendly with Elain when we're all in a group." I grumbled.

"That was Cassian's idea." Azirel sighed. "I was terrified of confrontation and what it would do my relationship with you and Rhysand, so I asked Cassian for advice. He told me I should try to make you jealous." The look on his face was pure regret.

Fucking lllyrians.

"Well, your wish was granted. I got jealous." I angrily stood up from the counter, only for Azriel to trap me, his arms forming a barrier around my figure.

"You made me jealous too Tavia." Azriel leaned in, inhaling the scent on my neck.

My core became dripping wet with need.

"Oh yeah?" I pathetically countered, too distracted with the shadows that were cascading up my skirt, as well as the way my mate's pupils dilated in an almost carnal way.

"Seeing you with those males, and knowing you came to Tarquin just for support. Yeah, I got fucking jealous." Azriel played with strands of my hair, then looked down at my tits.

"And cauldron fucking bless me, I've wanted to rip this outfit off of you all night." His eyes searched mine, which probably looked so fucking hazy. My pussy thrummed with need. I caved into my desires, wrapping my arm around my mate's neck and hungrily pulling his lips onto mine.

Azriel's hands immediately gripped my thighs lifting me up winnowing me to his bed, where I straddled him. He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"I need to hear your words, Tavia." He demanded, making my stomach flip. That was him asking for consent. I couldn't believe this was real.

"Please, Azriel." I trailed my hands down his abs, causing his cock to harden against my thigh. He peeled my shirt off, mouth worshipping my nipples. I writhed against him, hands running through his onyx hair.

"Please what princess?" He stood up and set me on the bed, pulling his shirt and shoes off, as well as my shoes.

"Please fuck me Azriel." I looked into his eyes. His grin was absolutely feral now and he slid his hand up my thigh feeling how wet my panties were.

"Hmmm, good girl. You're so fucking needy for me." He then ripped my panties off and pulled me by my calves to the edge of the bed, getting on his knees.

"Yes, Azriel, I need you." I begged as his shadows caressed my nipples.

His gaze darkened as his fingers slid up my thighs. His tongue then slid clean across my folds and I threw my head back, moaning his name.

"Fuck, you taste even better than I imagined." Azriel sucked on my clit, causing pressure to build in my stomach.

"Don't stop." I whined as his shadows made my nipples peak.

Azriel hummed in response, sticking two fingers inside my tight walls and curling them on my sweet spot. I whimpered, my core tightening with need.

"Yes, right there." I surrendered to his tongue and fingers while he ate me like I was his last meal. My best friend was pleasuring me like it was something he craved, and the thought of that made my heart skip a beat. This is what I’ve been missing out on.

Azriel's fingers curled perfectly and he sucked my clit so good, my walls tightened around him. I screamed his name. White hot pleasure shot through me and I trembled, my cum dripping out on his tongue.

He looked up into my eyes with a carnal smirk, pulling his pants down to reveal how hard his cock was. My mouth watered at the sight and my pussy was already throbbing with need again. I let my arousal course through our bond and Azriel snapped, flipping me over on the edge of the bed and pulling my ass in the air, giving it a sharp smack.

"I'm going to fuck your cunt so good Tavia. You're not going to be able to walk after this." He whispered in my ear, massaging my ass. I just whimpered, spreading my legs more, causing him to chuckle.

"So fucking needy for my cock, you're my little slut aren't you?" He trailed his tip against my folds and I squeezed the sheets, letting out a sharp breath.

"Yes, please, I need you to fuck me Azriel." The words coming out of my mouth felt so wicked, but they were true. I felt like if he didn't get his cock inside of me I would crumble from existence.

"Your tight little pussy belongs to me. Do you hear me princess?" He slowly slid deep inside. I nodded at his question, too stimulated to respond.

"I don't want you to worry about any other females around me ever again. You are EVERYTHING to me." His hand smoothed over my ass and I sharply inhaled, moving my hips against him to get some friction.

"Your cock is mine." I moaned, causing Azriel to dig his fingers into my waist and quicken his pace.

"Fuck, you're so tight." He went even harder and deeper, hitting my cervix and all the right places.

"I want you to cum inside me." I said breathily. His shadows made haste to stimulate my clit, and I couldn't help the knot that wrung in my core.

"No male will ever fuck you like this Tavia, I can promise you that." Azriel groaned and I felt his cock twitch inside of me as my walls clenched against him. I came at the same time as him, feeling a rush of ecstasy in my veins.

“Gods, yes." I went limp into the sheets, feeling sated from how good it felt to have my mates cock inside me. He stilled against me, his warm cum shot deep inside my core and I relished the feeling.

He flipped me over so that I was laying on his chest and started playing with my hair, using his fingers to get the knots out. And he did it so casually and gently like we didn’t just rail each other.

I looked up into his hazel eyes and blushed at the huge grin he gave me.

“I fucking love you.” His thumb toyed with my lower lip. I swear every time he touched me I physically melted into him.

“I had this infatuation towards you when we first met. It was so superficial. But as we became best friends I felt the mating bond grow everyday. I would be lying if I said I didnt fall in love with you ages ago.” I confessed while tracing the tattoos on Azriel’s arm.

“When I realized we were mates I knew I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with you. You’re so fucking perfect.”

My heart swelled and I sat up, straddling my mate so that I could attach my lips to his. This time it was slow and full of passion. Azriel squeezed my thighs and swirled his tongue around mine. We only pulled away when we needed air…

masquerade malleus vignette

(spoilers for glorious masquerade)

aww

i refuse to believe lilia is oblivious enough not to notice that they dont like his cooking

..although solomon (from obey me) doesnt notice either iirc, but i mean..

..sebek. in a vignette, you literally got his help in cleaning a stain from malleus' labcoat???

...i never thought id hear azul say those words.... what?????

i dont know how it didnt hit me until now but the only reason rollo's plan in glorious masquerade failed was because he was so insistent on having malleus there and taking away all his power and shit?? like. cause. none of us had enough magic to actually overpower the fire lotuses(? i cant remember what they were called), although yuu would be able to make it through with no magic how could we even fight rollo at the end??

and at the point it reaches malleus and he could do something about it, it'd be too late?? because i REALLY doubt he has enough to reach all of those flowers and with enough to completely fry them out. and i doubt the bell would reach it by then.

silver...

is azul even human?? im like pretty sure-ish he's not human. not even half human. just entirely sea creature with a human-like body to probably be treated more normally and not hunted for sport/food through evolution shit idfk (like. idk im pretty sure its a thing where pets look so much cuter to cause us to take them in and shit.)

anyway im just imagining sebek talking azul's ear off about how great malleus is because he finally has a buddy who understands and therefore would be willing to listen to him talk for hours straight about malleus's greatness. AND APPRECIATE IT. HAUIHDSUIhd and azuls just like ………………….. floyd and jade laughing at him from a distance azul sets sebek on them like 'i think those two should come to learn about malleus's brilliance, don't you think? after all, as my colleagues, it is such a shame that they don't share my admiration for malleus, and i am unsure how to put it into words, as malleus himself is so magnificent that even words fail to describe him properly. so sebek, my fellow appreciator, would you lend me your aid in helping them grow to appreciate his brilliance?' okay i ran out of words and started repeating them because ic ant be bothered to look up for synonyms, im not THAT into it okay

ahhh so it is a fleur city song i wasnt sure. ive read in fics that it was, but it was also those fics where songs either have power, or yuu knows a bunch of disney songs that are considered 'forbidden/forgotten songs' or something like that and i cant remember which it was

actually if they put in all that work beforehand i think i get why they were so insistent on waiting for rollo to either confess or not AFTER the social ball and after they left and everything LMFAO

they suddenly changed into their school uniforms (still in diasomnia)

i honestly wouldnt know if id trust lilia that much but sure (i hope it doesnt turn to perfectionism levels tho)

first time we encounter italicized text i think. huh.

lmfao

oh my god (no but why choose idia at that point?? is it cuz his voice meshes well with them??)

ayoo its playing the make a wish (i think thats what the song is called) instrumental in the bg ive heard it way too many times not to recognize it (and sung along. its so fucking cool)

damn

my hands are actually protesting now ah geez (i took a break)

I GOT SO DISTRACTED BY DEUCE (i was re-experiencing enjoying looking at everyones costumes again) I AM AN IDIOT (its lower in opacity to show you that you're on it in the editor)

ooh

i didnt notice the insert paragraph im sorry lMFAO but id forget if i didnt SS it then

ooh some malleus riddle bonding

AH ITS A YUU JUMPSCARE

that seriously startled me like suddenly i just hear footsteps and then BOOM OPTIONS

ayooo malleus and yuu dancing

(alsoo yuu and deuce dancing :D)

WOOO

okay. now.

i feel like. im doing really good progress tackling all the vignettes (currently in EN. after that's GloMas, & Book 6 and 7. ive been avoiding it because not all of the Backgrounds exist, and GloMas has options with completely different dialogue which I can't see them all. i have three different videos of GloMas gameplay but they dont show all options...). all thats remaining is azul's tsumsitter (i have a vid of his vignette. ..i just dont like doing the tsum ones because i never know how to describe the tsum moving) vil birthday bloom (i FOUND A VIDEO finally oh my god. i love doing birthday vignettes) malleus dorm uniform (I have a vid) sebek new year (i have a vid) grim labcoat (i have a vid)

and then the rabbit costume ones which all of them have vignettes iirc and i have videos for all of them (i actually just found them as i was writing this. thank you god. they have no views tho geez. wonder if that means vil birthday bloom exists in a video but just wont appear. this is future me. ...i have been blessed with vil birthday bloom.)

Getting any documentation done in California is like going to subway, but instead of just writing the prices of all the sandwiches on the board and letting you decide what you can and can't afford, the guy tells you specifically that your sandwich will cost X amount.

But it doesn't.

What he's doing is telling you how much the bread cost. If you want a sandwich (you know, that thing you came in for) then he'll gladly let you pick out the meats and salads and sauces, and then tell you how much it actually costs at the till.

That may not seem like a big deal to most people, but it offends me in a way I can't seem to properly articulate. Why would I walk into a subway for bread? I can buy that anywhere. Why did you tell me a baguette was a sandwich? It's not. The bread does not make the sandwich. All the pieces when assembled make the sandwich.

What you gave me were the bare bones of the product you were selling, and when I was already committed to playing out this farce, you then hit me with hidden fees that added up to the real price of the sandwich.

#I don't wanna keep bitching about CA and its many laws #but again this would not happen back home #I would ask for a policy #it would give me a list of options #tell me exactly what was included in each one #and then let me make an informed decision of what I wanted #with the prices all laid out to best accommodate my finances #CA does not do this #it wants to drag out a pretty simply questionnaire over the course of a week #tell me what I'm entitled to #and then keep me hostage on the phone while they take a decade to explain what I actually signed #but making it sound like its the best system because they tell you the bad news politely #this kinda embodies what I appreciate about british customer service #we don't do fake pleasantries. because we're miserable as fuck #but also because we get straight to the fucking point #this is the thing. this is everything in writing what the thing is. this is the price we promised you. do you want it? #if not I don't care. I don't get paid enough to care

#something is very obviously different about these two compared to my normal images on this blog. i acknowledge this #also the sv model is Really good. and since they always stare straight at the camera anyway… and no one pays attention to the background… #and the only high-quality phantump model i could find was so horribly shiny that its eyes were just white voids #in my defense‚ phantump always just stare straight at you in game #the lighting is different‚ yeah. that's probably the dead giveaway. beyond the background. but like. i'm the only being on the planet who #really likes phantump anyway. i feel like it's a generally forgettable pokémon to most folks #phantump #HELLO this one is a weird one. i have some explaining to do. so when i did this one i didn't know how to edit models really at all #and when i got the models for these‚ the xy models were super shiny. shiny to the point that it made their eyes fuckin invisible #and i decided that since you could barely tell it was phantump‚ i needed a different way to get these images #i remembered that in the SV dlc‚ every time you find a wild phantump‚ it just fucking. stares. at you. and i was like. aha #i kinda remembered because of the test stream that i did. tumblr user alligayytorr (am i getting the right amount of Ys) said #“haha i am getting a sneak peek” when i zoomed the camera in on a phantump. and i remembered that. and i was like. i can utilize this #and ended up using just an in-game screenshot of SV in replacement of the regular content. later on‚ after that #once we got into gen 7 and it became less and less reliable to find models‚ i had to learn how to edit them manually to remove the shine #i am a software dev. not a 3d modeler. this ended up coming down to editing the code of the models directly (which i ended up writing a #script to automate). now‚ today‚ january 22nd (the day of me writing these tags and updating this post)‚ i remembered this post was in the #queue and was not normal. so i went back‚ ran the script on the phantump and trevenant models‚ and unshinified them #then edited these two posts to be normal. i have left the original pictures i took under the cut for reference and as bonuses #because i really enjoy phantump. so that's why those images are there‚ and that's why these tags are here #just for posterity's sake‚ the folks who come here mostly for my commentary‚ i've left the ORIGINAL tags of the post when i initially #made it with the SV pictures up at the top (i wanted to rearrange them‚ but tumblr makes that Very difficult‚ so i left them as-is) #so if these tags are confusing to read i Apologize. but i hope now that you're at the bottom you understand what happened #i'm gonna go edit the trevenant post now

i can’t believe it’s 2023 and the “only gay actors should play gay roles” argument is not only alive and kicking on twitter, but thriving. need you guys to shut the fuck up and log off so bad 😭

#im in the trenches for straight actors to play gay roles bro #because number ONE you don’t actually know if they are or not #which leads nicely to point number 2 — it’s none of your fucking business whether they are or not #basically it all just kinda translates to ‘I hate closeted people and I don’t think they deserve to work’ lmaooo #but also like imagine going into Starbucks and the hiring manager asks if you kiss girls #acting is a job and we should (literally) never allow people to be hired on the basis of their sexuality #you know why? because that opens the door for them NOT to be hired on the basis of their sexuality :) #thats never a precedent which should be allowed to exist #even if you think ‘oh but this is a special circumstance and it’s because it’s a public role’ #that’s called a slope babe and it can get very slippery very quickly #Hollywood is powerful and stories are powerful and the media is powerful #and it’s ability to normalise and justify things at a rapid pace shouldn’t be overestimated

#so it's Infect Your Friends And Loved Ones with the bit about 'everyone around here knows about you' #even if it's positive- the world pays so much more fucking attention to my life for being trans and it makes me.. shiver? #coffee clerk fumbled every facet of taking my order and the apology landed super duper sideways #'oh sorry! it's just that it's my first time helping *you* is all- just seen you around a lot before. you know.' yeah? know what exactly? #how's that supposed to make me feel? every month they hire someone new and we get to do the same tiring song and dance #another young-20s clerk that will not stop trying to make small talk w/me beats ones that only glare yeah- this isn't pain just frustration #and like YES it's better than the cashier that beats the shit out of my beers on purpose or crumples receipts to hand them to me #or the audible 'see- told you he's a man' commentary when he can see stubble behind a mask on days that can't bother me to shave #like the pharmacists at this supermarket make me well aware that nobody else gets their E here. the store knows the local tranny. great. #genpop cannot reliably be fucking Normal Abt Transfems to the point that it makes me wanna thank the rare coworker that just like. #doesn't treat me like anyone different or special or a threat or a curiosity or an object or a shot to gain social capital for being nice? #getting told by young-20s cis girls that calling me dude didn't mean anything b/c they're 'y'know! *also* [limp wrist mime] *girlypop!*' #hits closer to home than getting called a slur to my face because the latter asshole doesn't pretend to be my friend and just. #skips straight to making me a paper doll in their head of what it means to be me and shaped like me and dressed like me and it's.. slimy. #'everyone around here knows about you.'

okay so actually I think the full body pain I talked about earlier is just because we're ill with something and we've been ill for maybe a week (I think? I can't remember) but it's just kind of wrecking us today I guess

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #posts made on pain meds #we're feverish but it's really awkward when we get fevers #because for us a fever is like... anything about 36.8°C (98.2°F) if we put the thermometer under our tongue #but that's like... within normal range for most people. it's just that our normal temperature is about 36.3°C (97.3°F) for some reason #anyway 36.8 is the point where we start feeling feverish and getting chills and hallucinating from it #but doctors don't fucking count that temperature as a fever so then they take our temperature and don't believe that we're ill #also it'd be great if winter wasn't just like... several months straight of getting ill repeatedly #like we'll finally recover and then catch something else within a few days and we usually aren't even going outside anywhere

light and misa's "relationship" is rlly tragic and fucked but also in an isolated state its really fucking funny. ESPECIALLY if you consider them both to be arospec like i do

#misa is like ''oh light my wonderful boyfriend~!! we need to go on a date we haven't been on one in so long!'' #(i know that when you're dating you're supposed to go on dates. so we have to go on a date every so often to assure me that i'm getting a #good grade in Having a Boyfriend something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve) #and then light is like (internally) 'i would literally rather kill myself than spend time with her but i need her for my purposes so i have #to appease her' (externally) ''ok sure i guess misa'' #and then they go to a restaurant and misa waits for him to kiss her the whole night (she does not attempt to herself) #meanwhile light just sits there and goes nonverbal for long extended periods of time while he monologues in his head about how to appear #like a normal (straight) human being (spoiler: he's really bad at this) #and every so often he'll be like ''you look nice. this food is good. other boring pleasantries'' while glaring as if he's poisoned her food #THEY LIVED LIKE THIS FOR 4 YEARS. #again. awful. but also kind of fucking funny. gay aroace guy and aroace girl going through the motions of a heterosexual relationship for 4 #whole years. they hate each other for sure dawg ToT obvs misa to a lesser extent but i think she definitely had a lot subconscious hate for #light. that only got stronger the longer things went on #also during this time they definitely had sex a Single Time because they got to a point where misa was like we've been dating for like #2 years normal couples usually sleep together way before then...... and light was like. LOUD SIGH. ok #it was terrible. neither of them enjoyed it and they never spoke of it again #gee wonder why that was (holding the ace spectrum behind my back) #anyways they're so awful im obsessed w them. awful apart and even WORSE together. it's beautiful #then you throw L in this mix and it gets even funnier and MORE awful #(he's bi aroace to me btw. for the record) #serena.txt #death note posting

other early buffy bi-coding includes: both her heart & spirit being initially coded as gay/bisexual (the writers weren’t sure which till tara came into the picture, & according to a semi-recent article, of which label pretty much until willow came out) & were intended as such, as the writers always knew one of them was going to come out.

#buffy summers #btvs #this is why i don’t consider the use of willow (a lesbian) to convey elements of buffy’s (a bisexual) sexuality biphobic whereas i sort of #do when that lens is applied to faith. in willow’s case her lesbianism is important like i cannot understate that but the writing choice #itself was influenced by the notion on part of the creators that willow being written as bisexual was the original intent & they changed #their minds because the lesbian representation was important & they felt with the way people thought of bisexuals it would make willowtara #get taken less seriously. so until willow came out she was very much a bi-coded character (STILL A LESBIAN & STILL MEANS HER & OZ WAS COMP #AS SOON AS THAT WAS CONFIRMED) #up until she came out- and it was largely if not entirely that before that point (bar the coming out scene) where she is used in any major #way to convey that aspect of sexuality with buffy- it becomes more general in terms of paralleling relationship struggle after that point #so willow being bi-coded & willow being used as a buffy sexuality figure were near entirely overlapping which negates the view of #bisexuality genuinely being part straight part gay rather than having to exist in dual spaces due to the way sexuality is dichotomized #also shout out to willow’s lesbianism for still retroactively working very well as a narrative way to convey that dual space even before the #choice to definitively make her such was made. her complicated lesbianism does so much for the themes girlie is carrying. #like a lot of people complain about that choice because of the fact we later got confirmation that it was made for reasons which were i #inconsiderate to both bisexuals & lesbians but ultimately willow as a lesbian works better overall than willow as a bisexual on a #storytelling level to me based on how sexuality in particular is ultimately positioned in the story by the end of s7 #like when i talk about pre-coming out willow being bi-coded it isn’t to detract from her present lesbianism or say she should be bi- that’s #flat out lesbophobic & i don’t fuck with it- it’s just acknowledging a reality that influenced how she was written prior to coming out 100% #where as with faith that’s not present especially because she is fully meant to represent buffy (a bisexual’s) sexuality rather than any #sort of dual space struggle- she (darkly) mirrors buffy’s rather than playing a role in it #which then (to me) does start to play into the half straight half gay idea when considering again that she represents buffy’s sexuality #specifically the repressed aspect is positioning a bisexual’s repressed sapphic attraction as lesbian rather than… repressed bisexual #*ie positioning #attraction. like especially considering eliza said she thinks faith swing both ways it kinda does make me uncomfy & feels really reductivist #which is part of why i plan to make that post #blah blah people are entitled to their headcanons. in context the headcanon kinda has a biphobia issue when ignoring faiths bi-coding & word #of saint paul confirmation on top of her narrative positioning irt sexuality that’s all i’m saying

It feels kinda annoying seeing posts about the NRA when they haven’t been politically relevant for the past 10 years, and even more annoying when liberals blame the NRA for not being able to pass gun control

like. the NRA has only 5 million members. Over 100 million people in the US have guns. They literally represent less than 5% of all gun owners, if they vanished or went bankrupt tomorrow liberals still wouldn’t be able to pass gun control because gun owners are one of the most politically active groups out there and they’re not interested on becoming felons overnight because of liberals passing ineffective laws that ban certain guns based on aesthetics and doubling the police budget instead of trying to help the average citizen so they don’t have to go to crime to make ends meet

This whole story of “Those things are hard to do, passing gun contrrol is much easier” sounds completely untrue every day that passes

#guns #politics #nra #gun control #frankly I'm a commie who dislikes most gun control because 90% of the time it's those two things I mentioned #I also live in a country where gun control is largely ineffective to the point where the average gang has illegal assault rifles #the average civilian getting a gun here is extremely difficult #and we still have more murders than the US #and every time I say this liberals reply with 'of course you have more murders your country is a 3rd world shithole' #wow thanks glad to know you're just racist #imo one of the big problems with this whole gun control thing is the fact people don't associate it with law enforcement #people will straight up say 'acab' and 'we need more gun control' in the same fucking sentence as if cops aren't the ones who enforce it #like #who do you think will arrest people for having 'illegal' guns? #the tooth fairy? #no #it's the police #it's always the police #and they will always conveniently forget to arrest a bunch of nazis for stockpiling weapons and threatening to commit mass shootings #and will instead stop and frisk every minority in a 'bad' neighborhood for 'illegal' weapons #you guys need massive police reform before you try to tackle taking guns away from dangerous people #because cops are in bed with those dangerous people and until you realize that you won't be able to fix anything #idk I'm just rambling I don't wanna start a big argument #I just wish people were more responsible with what they're arguing for
