PILE 1
Hello beautiful/handsome,
I saw you in the party, where everyone was busy with themselves, with their own groups. And you, you were sitting alone, pouring your own drink. You looked very beautiful to me. Just like a queen/king. Your straightforwardness and dominant behavior, is what I love the most. I crave you, dear. Oh. I can literally fight to win you. You are just like a prize. You have your priorities clear. Even if it's a run and chase, I'll follow you everywhere till my heart stops and i die.
You are very career oriented, you don't bs unnecessarily. I love your perception of life. I love how you stand up for yourself, even if you're alone. You are just like a Queen to me. You seem very distant, as if you're lost in your dreams. You have that dreamy side of yours too? I don't know. I just observe you from afar. You give me such soothing vibes, I just love being around you.
You make me forget my miseries. I love how you don't do wrong to anyone. You are very compassionate and loving. You can give love to even non living objects. You're so full of love. That makes me wanna love you, even more. Sweetheart. I love you. I want to pursue you, i want to make you mine. Do you think the same? Do you love me just the way I love you? I'm waiting for your answer.
Yours faithfully,
Love.

PILE 2
I don't have the right words to truly express what I feel. I'm not in a good place right now. It feels as if everyone has given up on me. I'm sorry if I'm I'm making you uncomfortable but certain situations are out of my hands. I feel left out in the cold. I have the responsibility of my family on my shoulders. I'm trying to make fast changes. I'm trying to do everything on my own.
I'm very repressive of my emotions. I was not taught how to deal with them. Sometimes I try to run away from life. But then I get reminded of you. I look at the night's sky, full of stars and I wonder maybe you are like a star too. Lightening the dark and cold world with compassion and warmth. You give me true strength. And I'm forever grateful for your presence in my life. I'm holding onto a lot of things right now. I know i should let everything free, even myself. It's okay to make mistakes, right?
After every storm, there is a deep silence. Where everything remains silent, destroyed and out of control. No matter what life throws at me, I'll come back to you with ten times more strength, power & especially love and respect for you. It's life after all, right? Everything comes and goes. Maybe these times will pass? But I'll love you more with each passing moment for sure.
Yours Only Forever
💗

PILE 3
I have too much of love and wealth. And that too much is being sucked off by others. I don't know what to do. Money can't buy love, sweetheart. I'm in a toxic relationship. They are taking away my everything. Literally everything.
I don't remember the last time I laughed. The money I earned through hard work, the morals and kindness my family taught me, everything is in vain. Everything is slowly leaving my body. I feel empty from inside. This person is taking away it all.
But I'm working hard, more hard, harder than even. So that I can provide you a better lifestyle. I can't expect anything from anyone. I have to do it all alone. Please remember me in your prayers. I'm afraid to let go. Everything is being taken away from me. I don't know what to do, I'm confused. I'm not sure which road to take. I believe the universe will guide me where I'm supposed to be, near you. I'm depressed nowadays. Very hopeless.
But I'm doing whatever i can do right now. I'm unable to even sleep at night. They lied to me. They deceived me. They were my life partner, but there was nothing "life-like" with them. It was just a relationship built on money. And you know how these type of things end. There is no emotion left in me. I'm blank. I don't know. They left me in the middle of the road.
Tumblr media
PILE 4
Hello pretty soul ♡
You know what? I see you every where. Whenever I go, wherever I go. I see you, i get reminded of you, by the flowers, the clovers, the river, the clouds and even the sun! You are a beautiful and positive person! You are such a great fighter! Whatever obstacles comes between our happiness, you remove it all. I get so happy and optimistic near you, my love. I'll fight with literally anyone for you, just for you.
You bring absolute calmness and peace into my chaotic life. You are a sweet breeze flowing softly over my cheeks on a warm, sunny day making me blush. I want to take care of you and love you for eternity. I want to offer you all the love that I have inside me, just for you babygirl/boy. I want to experience new things with you everyday. You make my life feel lively. ✨️
Dear, sometimes I too get lost in my past, that was not, unfortunately that happy for sure. I got lied to, i was betrayed by someone I called mine. I can't sleep properly due to this. I get nightmares and I get so f*king scared. I feel anxious and uncomfortable. But the good news is! I'm forgetting it day by day. Just a little progress makes it a whole lot of progress. I don't want to remember all these with you. I'm working hard, I'm moving forward. And i hope you're too <3
By,
Your one and only . ❤️

bottom/switch/top+headcanons with genshin men
coming from a very top leaning and not objective reader
Tumblr media
➭pure blooded bottoms
venti-his dick is for decoration only, drools so much when he's getting fucked. loves getting railed while tipsy
_____________________________________________
➭bottoms but will top if you want them to
heizou- he knows how to but am a firm believer he's just a spoiled pillow princess if you r willing to indulge him
gorou- very needy when he tops too, will cry when he breeds, ty very much. shy bottom tho
tighnari- he fucks. like...mind numbingly. bashful bottom, can't stop grinding against you. will cum from humping too, dunno what tht has to do w anything but he will
_____________________________________________
➭switch
scara- will be bratty about it, v embarrassed about how often he lets you top tho, can be a lil mean when he tops but that's okay, he knows how to angrily pound into it👏
aether- pretty boy, waist so brrr. whines in both cases, awfully breathtaking either way.
kaeya- whore...a whore tht doesn't pick favorites, he's just a lil mondstat slut. loves dolling up in the bedroom. will also spoil you with pretty soft clothes and fuck you silly in them too
al haitham- legit lazy to top sometimes hence the category. He'd rather just have you do all of the muscle moving on occasions. I feel like he tops when he's especially horny, otherwise he'd rather lay down and spread his pretty legs or just make you bounce on his lap.
albedo- expert at both, has trouble picking what mood he's in tho. a gentleman nonetheless, everything is very soft and mellow and he'll rarely do anything rough.
diluc- lets you top as a treat once in a blue moon, secretly enjoys it so much but he's also pussy drunk so he opts to just breed you instead.
xiao- don't let him discover the joy of a prostate, he will demand it every time until he's satiated
_____________________________________________
➭tops
itto- had a finger up his ass(more than once), was not a fan of it. dick too big to just sit there and not be utilized. is down to try bottoming a few times but he is too horny to hold still and leave matters in your hands
thoma- service top through and throughout. you say it he does it. actually can get too carried away and surprisingly fucks hard. i will fuck him tho, watch me.
cyno- not only does he top he also b r e e d s. doesn't need to know where the clit is bc he ruts so deep tht his navel bumps into it anyways. he knows tho. his ass is my buffet nonetheless.
kazuha- gentle top, obsessed with doing everything, will not even let you suck him off without pouting about it.
zhongli- ik this but something in me wants to fuck him anyways , smth about tht millennia old ass makes u wanna enter the forbidden chambers
ayato- i literally have no words, i wouldn't be able to top him because i wouldn't want to. who would want to. give me tht rich princess treatment s i r
_____________________________________________
➭childe
his own category, his existence is a mystery to me. Kaeya vibes but also much more vile. A mean top that secretly rides a dildo in the privacy of his locked room
_____________________________________________
[a/n]: as i post this im falling asleep, have a giggle hopefully

So yeah had the chance to sleep on it and gonna give my full thoughts on the (unannounced) new dialogue for Minthara when Durge makes the decision to reject [SPOILER]. Gonna keep it under the cut but also read @shoddynomenclature's flashfic about it, it echos a lot of my feelings on the subject.
I think this had the potential to be something that makes her character even more nuanced and interesting by showing an uglier side of herself. Yes she has been abandoned by gods before, and the pain of that can't be understated. So seeing Durge reject Bhaal, to walk away from an inheritance when she was taken from Lolth against her will? Must feel frustrating. Seeing a character work through those emotions and fucking it up could be really good. COULD be.
This one conversation, where she throws everything about her relationship with Durge aside and turns her back on them with just a single non-critical response and no follow up? This ain't it.
I hate to say it, but this addition has all but killed my interest in playing Durge, if this is what it does to her character.
I'd LIKE it if there will be future additions, conversations you can have back at camp after the stress of the day has passed, to ask her what's really going on here. Yeah it WOULD be nice if there were some follow up where we can talk to her about our reasons for rejecting Bhaal, with the option to reconcile. Which could even lead neatly into her post-Orin speech, y'know some of her best writing in the game where she realize that Bhaal is no different than Lolth, or the Absolute.
Or, the chance to refuse to get back together with her after that. The only other way to break up with Minthara currently is cheating, which sucks, whereas having a big ugly argument and deciding "We've both said our peace, and understand each other better now, but we can't be together. Not after all this." THAT'S Really Good.
But unlike others, I have no confidence that any such addition is coming.
Because (if I understand it right) this dialogue was datamined from release, but was always inaccessible until the recent hotfix. So it was easy to ignore, treat it as cut content like the pregnancy plot (which I still don't get and frankly at this point I don't wanna know).
By deciding to make it accessible, Larian has made it clear that they want this to be a part of her character. But unlike this dialogue, there isn't any follow up sitting in datamine waiting to be turned on.
As far as we know, this is it. It's useless to speculate on what they could add (why add to her writing so piecemeal like this anyway?) because they didn't wait until they HAD more, to make this a part of her writing. Hell, it wasn't even worth mentioning in the hotfix notes!
Loving her partner to the degree she's willing to put aside her thirst for power is such a key part of Minthara's character that this dialogue completely abandons. What Larian is saying here is that her love for Durge was just a ruse to entice someone she could control into acquiring power, even at their expense. And if that's Larian's vision for Minthara's character, then why stop with Durge?
Why does she break up with Durge for rejecting Bhaal, but not with Shadowheart for rejecting Shar?
Or Astarion if he remains a spawn?
Why shed all those real tears for Karlach if she'd rather die than return to Avernus?
Why continue to share Tav's bed if they refuse the Astral Tadpole? Why offer no real objection if they destroy the brain, though she's rooting for them to take control of it right up until the moment? Why can she find power enough in the two of them with the Absolute gone to continue their plans for conquest, but Durge refusing to become just like Orin, her tormentor she swore to kill, is a dealbreaker?
If she tells my Tav the bond they share is called alurlssrin, can I even believe her, when she said the same to Durge only to call them stupid for believing in love right after?
Do you see the problem here?
Do you see why people would rather this dialogue not exist, if this is what it does to her character?

You said to send you prompts and ideas and well I’ve always wanted to write my own fic but i know i can’t write worth a damn lol I’m not good at describing shittt but what hears an idea I’ve thought about and so far I mean I haven’t come across any fics about it at least in my chosen fandoms lol so here it is.
Reader is you know just an average person in the world we live in and maybe is a huge fan of CE or Sebastian Stan and gets sucked into a portal and boom transported directly into the MCU meeting their favorite actor only it’s not Chris or seb it’s THE Steve rogers or Bucky Barnes, and maybe they just stare at them wide eyed all starstruck and shit. Maybe they wanna find a way home or not 🤷🏻‍♀️.
So again not the best at explaining lol but I’ve always thought that would make a pretty good interesting fic/series. It also doesn’t have to be Steve or Bucky it could be any other CE character ( as long as it ain’t Curtis Everett I wouldn’t wanna be teleported on that fucking cold ass tail end train lol)
Wow this is really challenging. It's like transmigrated story. But I'll try. The universe that I choose is Marvel, since it made more sense.
Here it goes. I hope you like it anon! 😘❤️
Other Universe
Character : Steve Rogers x platonic!reader , Bucky Barnes x platonic!reader, Dr. Strange x platonic!reader.
Tumblr media
Once in your life, you probably knew someone that has crazy ideas.
Like Y/N. She has this one unique friend. Her special friend is obsessed with everything related to the transmigrated story.
And the universe she wants to enter is Marvel World.
It's impossible.
But the universe could be funny sometimes.
When Y/N visited her unique friend because she couldn’t contact her friend. Where is she?
Y/N entered the house, everything was a mess, and she saw a magic circle inside the room.
Suddenly, the magic circle glows and opens a portal. Every object got sucked into the portal, including Y/N.
Inside the portal, her body is floating. There's nothing she could hold on to. Did her friend also get sucked into the portal?
In a second the portal dropped Y/N. She didn't have a chance look around where she was. Because floating or flying inside the portal made Y/N dizzy and vomit.
"Are you alright? You suddenly fall from nowhere." Someone with a commanding voice asked her.
Y/N body shivered. This voice is familiar.
It can't be!!!
She slowly turned around and was shocked. Captain America and The Winter Soldier in their combat uniform is looking down at her. Their eyes also say they're shocked by what they're seeing now.
Y/N gasped "Oh my god. It worked!!!"
Steve raised his eyebrows; what does she mean? Did the land hit her head? She suddenly appeared. Did she have magic like Dr. Strange and Wanda?
He has so many questions.
Y/N was nervous, but then she remembered, "Do you see someone else that appeared out of nowhere just like me?"
Bucky tilts his head. "You know her?"
Y/N felt relieved; that meant her friend was also in this universe. That means she could go home. "Yes. Do you know where she is? I got transport here because of the magic circle my friend made."
She takes a breath before she explains, "I don't know how to explain from the start, but I'm not from here. I'm not crazy; please believe me!"
Steve and Bucky could tell she was afraid and didn't look dangerous. Steve leaned down and got closer to her. He talks with a low voice. "You should see it for yourself."
"Huh?"
Y/N doesn't understand, but she follows Bucky. This place seems like the Avengers Headquarters she has seen from the movies.
So she arrived at a safe place. That's relieved. She wondered if her friend had arrived safe, too. She must be excited since her dream to enter the Marvel Universe came true.
Bucky brings Y/N to a secluded room. Her body turned cold when she saw a big bag in the middle of the table.
'Please don't open the bag.'
Bucky couldn't read Y/N's mind. He opened the zipper line and revealed a pale body.
Y/N fell to the floor.
It's her friend.
Her friend is dead.
Her funny and silly friend.
"What happened?" Y/N asked with a crying voice.
Bucky sighed. "Your friend arrived at the wrong location. The moment she arrived, the security alarm activated, and the system saw her as a threat."
Scary. This is scary. Y/N felt afraid. She doesn't want to be in here anymore. She wants to go home.
Steve put his arm on his right shoulder. "We're really sorry."
Y/N looked up with tears running down her cheeks. "If she's gone, how can I go back?"
Both soldiers felt pity for her. Steve said, "We could try Dr. Strange to help you."
Y/N makes a slight nod. She hoped Strange could help her.
*****
But when Dr. Strange heard her story, he became quiet. So quiet that it made Y/N uncomfortable.
Strange sighed "If your friend is still alive, you could go back, but because she died, it's impossible."
"Huh?"
"This kind of magic only recognizes the creator and understands desire. Your friend created the magic circle, and you got transport here because she wants you to join her. That's why the portal opened again when you entered her house."
If the creator died, the magic wouldn't work, and the portal to return to the Y/N real world got disconnected.
"Does it mean I can't go back?"
Strange picked a book with his magic; he read it for a while and said, "It's not impossible. It will take time. Do you want to try?"
Y/N nodded her head multiple times. "Yes, yes."
Strange said to Steve and Bucky, "She will be my disciple. Both of you could leave now."
Steve and Bucky are relieved that Y/N has a chance to go home. They both knew how it felt like a person without a home and friends.
Steve gave her a phone number. "If you need someone to talk to, call us."
Y/N looked at the small paper on her phone, and her vision blurred again. If her friend is still here, she will be excited to get a phone number from her favorite characters.
But she's not here anymore, and Y/N has to survive.
"Thank you."
After that, Steve and Bucky returned, and Y/N followed Strange to study.
Her first day at Marvel Universe has started.

#8 on smut (prompt list) for mark hoffman !! not sure if you write for f! reader or not but if not then can be gn ! reader pls !
Pleasure- Mark Hoffman x fem! reader
I KNEW SOMEONE would have that thought and thank you--IT HAS DRIVEN ME TO FERALITY TODAY, and more than I expected for it to when I was writing the prompt list.
you chose prompt 8, which is: "Go on, then," Character A says, head tilted slightly, the smile on their face reeking of sadism. "Touch yourself, baby. Gonna watch, but don't make yourself come--making you come is my fun, not yours."
Fic type- this is smut, and also my first mark hoffman smut so that's a yay!
Warnings- this content is written for 18+ audiences, so minors, DNI. I will block you!! protected P in V, light voyeurism, Mark calls the reader a whore once, my brain is in "write write write" and not "edit edit edit" mode so this is mostly unedited.
Tumblr media
Mark couldn't believe the sight he'd walked in on--you, in the bed you shared with Mark, legs spread and vibrator pressed against your clit. You were too engrossed in your pleasure to take notice of him at first, moans befalling your lips as you rolled one of your nipples between your fingers and rolled the vibrator around your clit.
"Mark," you whispered, and Mark had to smile. Even when he was gone, he was the one you thought of while you got yourself off.
"And here I thought my ego couldn't get any bigger," he says. "Then I walk into my bedroom, expecting to have seen you in the living room watching tv or reading a book or just getting home after doing a bit of overtime, and I walk in to this sight? Oh, it's not even Christmas but I could be convinced it were."
You turn to look at him, turning the vibrator off as your eyes widen.
"You weren't meant to--"
"I know," Mark says, leaning against the door. "but I did, and I'm happy to not step in--I interrupted, after all. Wish I hadn't, though. Wanna know how badly you need me, if your whispering my name can get any louder."
You grin a little. "I can continue if you'd like?" You ask, and Mark bites his lip, nodding.
"Go on, then," Mark says, head tilted slightly, the smile on his face reeking of sadism. "Touch yourself, baby. Gonna watch, but don't make yourself come--making you come is my fun, not yours."
You return to the position you were in before except object to not use your vibrator. Your fingers start circling your clit at a good pace and your hand returns to your breast, fingers rolling and pinching your nipples.
Your gaze is on the ceiling, overwhelmingly aware of Marks gaze as you rub tantalizing circles around your clit, moaning breathily as you register how good that feels.
"Mark," you moan. Your gaze moves to meet his for a second, and you see him watching you intently through his eyelashes. You moan, quickening the pace just a bit, taking one of your fingers into your mouth to tease him.
You suck your finger for a long few minutes before bringing it to your nipple, moaning at the sudden coolness of the contact.
"Mark," you moan. "Oh, Mark, fuck--please. Please fuck me,"
You start grinding your hips against your hand, pinching your nipple between your thumb and first finger. You adjust the pace of your fingers on your clit so that they're a bit faster--just enough to bring you to the edge, and when your moans start getting a little louder, you watch Mark enter the room, closing the door behind him.
He takes his shirt off first, unbuttoning it while you watch, gaze affixed. He takes his pants off, leaving him in his boxers as he grabs a condom.
You stop your ministrations on your clit, leaving the knot that'd formed in your stomach untouched as Mark takes his boxers off and his fully hard cock springs free, allowing him to roll a condom onto it with ease.
"Such a pretty whore for me," he says, cock teasing your entrance as he lays down on top of you, bringing your legs to his hips. "So good for me, too. You're amazing. Gonna make sure you feel good tonight, Y/N."
You moan, clenching around nothing. Mark positions himself at your entrance and the both of you moan as he bottoms out, one of your hands going to his hair as his finds your ass and squeezes.
"So wet for me, too," he says. "You're just begging to be my cumdump, aren't you?"
You hum in response, and he laughs, lips going to your neck. "Good girl," he says.
When Mark starts thrusting, he lifts himself onto his forearms so that he can watch your facial expressions. One of your hands goes to your clit, and Mark is relatively silent so that he can hear all of the sounds you make for him.
"Oh, Mark," you moan, hips thrusting up to meet his. "Oh, fuck, Mark. Mark, please."
One of his hands finds your nipples, and between your fingers on your clit, Marks thrusts, and the way that he rolls your nipples between his fingers, you find yourself on the edge within minutes.
"Mark," you moan. "So--so close. Need to--please--"
"Cum for me, Y/N," he says. "Go ahead, baby."
Only a couple more thrusts, sensual pinches, and gentle kisses along your neck from Mark and you're releasing, crying out his name as your walls clench around him and trigger Marks release into the condom.
The aftercare from that point is simplistic but amazing--Mark draws a bubble bath for the two of you and you relax until the water has gone cold, going to bed and falling asleep in each others arms thereafter.

hello! i thought your breakdown of midori and why he sucks was really neat. I am curious: why do you dislike ranmaru?
(sorry for the wait, my boredom plus the strike made me not post for a while.)
FIRST OFF I WANNA CLARIFY! This is not to send hate to any Ranmaru fans or ransara shippers, while I don't really like ranmaru or ransara, i don't want them to thinks that this is hate in the slightest. If you like ranmaru that's great, I can't, I think he is boring. But good for you honestly that you can find enjoyment in the character. I just don't like ransara, my opinion, okay, okay...
There is actually multiples reasons i dislike ranmaru. First off I'm gonna start with the obvious.
First off, you must know something deep inside of my psyche, i really REALLY hate the yandere archetype. I hate the fetishisation of it. there is nothing cute about a psycho being obsessed sickly with someone, it's called codependency and it's not a good thing. Which is the reason why i hate shit ass rancid ass soupshit. There is nothing cute about killing people for others, because you wanted them to yourself, that is not endgame couple behavior that's i'm calling the police behavior. And i'm not saying that you can't use this idea wisely, i mean soupshit s shown has bad. My problem is the view that a relationship like this would realistically be cute. And ranmaru literately is a yandere. That's already a problem. Well let's say ranmaru is not really a yandere, okay, let's say that, then he is still bad.
Ranmaru only known Sara for three hours, and he became insane over her because reminder she was just nice to him. of course sara manipulated him, i'm not stupid but, she didn't say "kill people for me bro", anyone who is sane wouldn't do what he did.
Let's take in example emotion route because logic route is another cans of worms, ranmaru knows sara for only three hours, sara is polite and nice to him, so now he whipped over her, when sara tells him to not do stuff he does it, because he believes that he is doing the best for her. he doesn't take into consideration sara own thoughts only his. He feels like he has to protect her not in a caring way but in a way to impress her. When sara has males friends and important relationship with others males, he feels threatened, because in his mind, sara will obviously fall for them. He doesn't like keiji only because he is an important figure for sara, godforsaken guys he kidnapped keiji. he doesn't like sara hanging out around other men who he feels are superior than him, because then he is nothing compared to them. So he takes out his anger on them just because he feels like they are the reason why he can't get with the girl. Like he really an idiot because in the freaking highschool au he gets jealous because sara talks to fucking SHIN, like just once. Then he tries to attack him later. Because he feels threatened by other mens being around sara, he feels as though keiji is superior since he is strong and he feels inferior to shin because shin is smart (he actually compliments the shin ai in the game, like he said that he was actually smart). What is that, what is that huh? Possessive behavior, despite everything he could say or think that is possessive behavior. Because he has lack of confidence in himself and his masculinity (show by the fact that he is insecure about his height for example), he acts possessive toward woman or in this case Sara. And coming back to logic route he freaking kill someone for a girl who doesn't even like him in like three hours for her.
And do you know what this all qualifies for, possessive obsessive behavior towards woman, not being able to take a no, insulting other men to feel better about yourself (or in ranmaru case trying to kill the lmao), seeing women has their little object, confusing romance with kindness, doing stuff thinking that you are doing whats right for women despite them not explicitly saying anything all of that.That's """""nice guy"""""" behavior, ranmaru is a "nice guy". he acts like the average Reddit user who claims that they are a nice guy while being the biggest asshole on earth. ranmaru acts nice, but really he views sara like an object of desire instead of seeing her like a person especially in emotion route. In emotion route reminder he tries to put the joe ai inside of him because he wants to be somehow sara ""love"", which is EXTREMELY CREEPY OH GOD THAT'S SOME CREEPY BEHAVIOR. He says that's its so that sara will be able to be with joe, but that's just terrible. first off imagine the dismorphia joe would have felt, and second thinking that to please a girl you should end yourself is just terrible, ranmaru doesn't need sara he needs a therapist.
But let's say we try to forget all about his 31b behavior and focus on his behavior in 31a okay then....
Ranmaru is just Shin without the positives nor the funny. Ranmaru and shin are both pathetic asses jealous of other strengh, they are both mostly quiet and content guys who actually have a darker side, they have no actual social capacities. This repetition in personality was actually noted by nankidai.
Tumblr media
Of course having similar themes or idea is okay, i mean even though shin and sara are similar never in god's name would i call them samey. What differentiates characters are their flaw and distinct personality right, right? Well that's the root of the problem Ranmaru without his incel simp yandere behaviour IS JUST SHIN, BUT LESS INTERESTING. LESS COMPELLING AND MORE OF A BACKGROUND CHARACTER. That is the problem, ranmaru is freaking walmart shin!
Shin is a bad person, but when i think about it shin is just a person. Ranmaru is a bad person, that's it.
And my final point is this, sara doesn't give a single shit about him, especially in logic route, she was just being polite and nice, acting like a normal person. In logic route she quite literally uses him for her own gain. So yes it's bad behavior and toxic on both sides, they are the toxic yuri.
and that's why i dislike him, ranmaru only interesting traits don't particularly make me like him as a person and i think he is pretty one note has a character. I like making fun of him but i mean i love making fun of the entire cast. Compared to my mortal enemy or keiji i can't say i really like him as a character. wow that was long. i had a lot more to say about him than i thought. But realistically i would probably put him in the no opinion case of the tier list. he doesn't interest me or anger me enough for him to get higher or lower.
Also he lead to the most bullshit scene of all time, the yabusames death was the stupidest way to get rid of them.
(maybe if someone sends me an ask about what do i think of the treatement of the yabusame in chapter 3)

Today's episode was Protection, the one with the... oh gods, it's the Ferris wheel episode. Whhhhyyyy???? It's also the episode where Kagami gets akumatized because Lila somehow convinces her that Marinette is pretending to be a mess around Adrien and, oh, if only.
Real talk, did anyone find the Ferris wheel scene funny? I know people complain about seasons 4 & 5 turning Chloe into a caricature instead of a character, but they're doing it to everyone. The class has gone from Marinette and Adrien's friends who would like to see them together, but still have their own lives to the Adrienette squad whose sole purpose in life is shipping. It's creepy, unfunny, and frankly makes them all look like terrible friends. Even 8-year-olds would know this plan would never work. Who wants to have their first kiss with a captivated audience? It's just gross.
Adrien is also a victim of this. He's always been underdeveloped, but this season reduces him to Marinette's Perfect Boyfriend and it's.... not great. But I'll make this its own post because I don't wanna get too serious here since the episode is anything but.
Then we move on to the funniest thing that season five did: the introduction of the "arranged marriage" plot. Aka, the scene where we learn that Adrien and Kagami are supposed to end up together. Which is hilarious when you actually look at what Tomoe and Gabriel did to get Adrien and Kagami together:
Raised them on separate continents
Did nothing to introduce them beyond sending Kagami to Adrien's fencing team to try out
Did nothing to get them to start dating
Did nothing to support their relationship once it actually got going
Sent Kagami to a different school
Until this episode, I honestly had no clue that Gabe and Tomoe even knew that Adrien and Kagami had started dating. The way Lies presents the relationship, I thought it was a massive secret. Why else would Kagami have to lie about their fencing lessons to get alone time? If these two are supposed to end up together, why were they never sent on parent-approved dates? Were the senticouple designed to just go at it as soon as they saw each other, but Adrien was defective? It would explain Kagami's out-of-nowhere crush on Felix. He activated her Adrien-programming!
This is also another case of the writers forgetting that Emilie is supposed to be a good mom unless we're supposed to think that Gabe only came up with this plan after Emilie was gone? If so, how is he going to explain any of this to her?
Then we get to the part of the episode that actually could have done something clever: Lila tricking Kagami. As-is, Kagami looks like she's breathed the stupid gas that Lila emits for her lies to work. (SO's theory is that Lila is an ancient sentimonster who makes people believe her lies which would make more sense than my gas "theory") If the writers had been smart about it, this was where we could have introduced Lila's multiple identities. Have a random girl "from Kagami's class" be giving Kagami advice. Then the audience thinks it's an objective third party misreading Marinette and not Lila manipulating Kagami for... reasons? As-is, it's just dumb. Why would Kagami believe Lila? How did they even meet? I have questions....
Mild credit where it's due moment: This is also the episode with the Adrienette picnic date and while Marinette showing up in her pajamas felt super forced, Adrien matching her was super cute and I liked their almost kiss. The writers clearly can write these two cute, the hand raise scene shows that, they just chose the drama route instead. Unfortunately, they suck at drama and so does this episode.

There it is! Part two of the Feral Branch fic!
Enjoy and tell me if you have any comments!
Branch has lost count of the trees he's let his anger out on so far, fire shooting from his fists and all the way up to his elbows as a result from banging them against the hard wood, and his hair sticking out in different angles after pulling at whatever branches came in his face. He knew this wasn't right - snapping at his brothers, telling them to leave, only for him to run away as well. And now, he was battered and bruised, sprawled out on the grassy, muddy floor. He closed his eyes, the sound of rain hitting the leaves that were shielding him fading into the background, drowned out by the thoughts racing in his head. He tried to focus on the simple shower pouring, desperately seeking any sort of comfort. He could feel the tips of his hair getting wet, but he was too careless to even think about moving it under his makeshift ceiling, not like it would hurt anyway, he'll just think of it as the shower he hasn't had for a week. He probably stinked, so whatever.
He would be lying if he didn't say that this was the least of his worries right now. All he could think of was the tantrum he just threw a few ago, in front of everyone. What did they think of him now? That he was a beast? A monster? He groaned, trying to push these thoughts to the back of his head.
But they always found a way to resurface. He groaned again, a voice that echoed between the trees as he tried to calm his racing thoughts. He's always hated thinking about more than one object at once. He tried to stop thinking, or overthinking, in his state, but his mind was seemingly battling him, sucking out every ounce of calm and peace he had managed to feel so far.
He was screaming. Why couldn't he just rest? He needed a break, a break from everything, his brothers, the village, life itself, if that was an option. He was pacing around, just like he's done back there, and his hands clutched at his hair as if he was replaying the scene. Except that this time, he was crying, rain mixing with the tears that were flowing down his cheeks. He wanted to run away, more away, and leave them behind, just like they have done to him. A part of him wanted to make them feel the pain he felt, wanted them to go through what he's gone through.
Yet another part wanted to believe that they have all faced challenges as well, that they all suffered. So why did it hurt him so much?
"Branch…?"
He looked up. It was Poppy.
Oh no, it was Poppy.
He quickly wiped away his tears with the back of his hands. She wouldn't notice anyway–
"Have you been crying?" Wasn't the rain supposed to hide the tracks?
"No…"
"Branch, you don't have to lie." She sat in front of him. "At least not to me, baby."
"I'm fine-"
"No, you're not. And what are all these scars?" His girlfriend's touch was gentle, yet Branch winced the moment her fingers traced the red marks on his arms. Some were fresh, blood still trickling down his arms and palms, and some were old, already starting to heal. Some were intentional.
"We need to go back, you're not okay–"
"Please…" He was begging. He never begged. But for his girlfriend? He was ready to beg her to stay with him if it cost him his life. "Just stay with me. I-I don't wanna see them right now."
The Queen was torn at this point, torn between the urge to lead the others to Branch and the vulnerability in his voice. He looked so small, so hurt and broken. She didn't want to cause him more pain.
"They probably don't want to see me…" Poppy had hardly heard him. His voice was muffled as he curled up and buried his face in his hands. "I don't blame them, though..."
"Branch, I know you're hurting," she whispered, softly stroking his hair. "Talk to me, let me help you."
"I don't know!" the dull troll suddenly yelled, causing his girlfriend to flinch. "They hurt me so much! So much, Poppy!"
"I know–"
"I'm tired! Every time I think everything is fine, something comes up! I didn't want them to come, they reopened wounds I've been trying to close for so long! And they're expecting me to be okay! I'm not okay!"
All Poppy could do was listen as her boyfriend poured his heart out. He sounded as if he'd been bottling up his emotions for so long, the way he was crying and stumbling over his words, face scrunched up and arms aimlessly flailing around as he desperately tried to communicate his feelings. But she didn't dare interrupt him, not even to help him explain. He had to talk, he needed to, by himself, and if it meant she had to listen to his incoherent speech, so be it.
"I just want– I don't know!" He went on, the words unconsciously flowing out of his mouth without even making any sense, even to him. He couldn't take it anymore.
"I hate them–"
"You don't," she blurted out, and immediately felt her boyfriend's glare on her. "You don't hate them."
Of course he did. They hurt him, they left and never came back. Even Floyd. And a thought was telling him he wouldn't be in this position right now if it weren't for his brother getting kidnapped. The dull troll closed his eyes. They wouldn't have made the tiniest bit of effort in checking on him, so why can't he hate them? John? John thought he was dead, and Branch tried to force himself that his brother shed at least a tear over him.
But he didn't know, and it only made him more confused and angry.
"I know what it feels like…" His girlfriend smiled sadly, unaware that her voice cut through the mess in his head just in time. "Someone you love hurting you…"
He perked up. Had he accidentally hurt her?
"I-I'm-I-"
"Not you, Branch," she assured him. "Dad…"
It made sense, Branch thought, slightly calming down. At least it wasn't about him anymore.
"He kept my own sister a secret from me, because of his own fear, and… I was the one who suffered the consequences…" She paused. "Do you even know how many things me and Veevs could've done by now, if only I went out there and looked for her earlier? We could've done a million things, Branch, so many things that I fear we don't have much time to do it all now."
He smiled. It was never enough time for Poppy.
"And the whole Trolls tribes thing… we could've united everyone before the Rock Apocalypse thing ever happened… but he kept it from me…" She frowned. "He kept a lot of secrets from me, secrets that could've changed my life, and I was super mad at him for that…"
It seems like he wasn't the only one who needed to be real in this relationship. How long has she been feeling this way?
She waited, and, seeing no reaction, the girl continued. "Sometimes I even fear he might be hiding something else, you know?" She chuckled. "He hurt me, so much… but I never hated him. I could never hate him."
Her father was there, his brothers weren't.
"Because he loves me." Her face slowly lit up, making her boyfriend's do so as well, even if it was barely visible. "I see it in the way he tries to make it up to me every day, and I know that he cares." She reached out, gently taking his dull, cold hands into her bright, warm ones and giving them a reassuring squeeze. "So believe me when I tell you that I know how it feels."
He sighed. "I just feel so lost and confused, you know?"
"I know, love."
He closed his eyes again, his head leaning against the tree behind him. "I don't hate them, I'm just mad…" His head hung low. "They're probably mad, too, and I don't blame them…"
"Stop right there, mister," the pink troll interrupted firmly, "Whoever told you they're mad?"
"Well, I did attack them." He shrugged. "I wouldn't be surprised if they don't want to see me."
"Branchifer." She cupped his face, forcing him to meet her gaze. She made a mental note to keep an eye on him, he was getting warm. "Your brothers have been miserable." She dramatically extended the last word, her fingers stroking his cheeks in an affectionate gesture. "You don't know what they've been through since last week."
"Are… are they okay?"
She smirked. "Worried about them?"
He giggled and swatted her hands away. "Just answer."
"Well, John hasn't been sleeping, Bruce is constantly angry, Clay hasn't read a single book since then, which is, sooo not Clay, and Floyd, well-"
He sat straight. "Is he okay?!"
"I told you, you care about them!"
"Poppy!"
She laughed, her hair tips getting exposed to the rain. "Alright, alright." She composed herself, wiping away the few droplets that had slid down her forehead. "Seriously, though, he's been crying non-stop for days."
"So they're… not mad?"
"Not in the slightest." A beat. "They're mad at themselves."
"They are?" Huh, maybe they did care after all.
"Yeah." She stayed silent for a few seconds, giving her words a chance to sink in. "They've been looking for you since the forest went silent."
Went silent? Then he remembered that he had been lying in this spot for days, and the forest's been silent since then, devoid from his screams and tantrums.
"They're probably waiting inside Rhonda right now," Poppy said with a smile, "Wanna let them know you're okay?"
Maybe that wasn't the best idea. Branch was hiding his face behind his hands again.
"It's okay," Poppy quickly said, "It's okay not to be okay."
He looked at her, and for a second, she swore she saw the broken child he was years ago. "I need more time…"
"It's okay," she assured him.
His head leaned against the shoulder of his girlfriend, seeking comfort only she could provide. He felt better. Poppy always made him feel better.
She suddenly got up, making the head resting on her shoulder almost make contact with the grass. "Get up," she ordered, "You can stay at my place till you're feeling better."
His lips contracted in a hesitant pout. "We'll cuddle?" He asked hopefully.
"We'll cuddle all night."

This has been said by another anon, but you honestly have the best interpretation of the events in the Silmarillion, especially with Elwing's situation which I super super love (I had to unfollow and block other good blogs because of how borderline misogynistic their takes were on her). I wanna know, what is your reaction to Finwe joining Feanor in exile “because of the love that he bore Feanor” which basically makes Tirion kingless, showing his favoritism and cementing Fingolfin as a 'usurper' to most, especially in the fandom? For me, that was the moment I saw how he made such stupid-ass decisions. Like I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt with being considered a 'good' father and king but no way is my response to my oldest son pulling a knife on my younger son at some kind of meeting and getting exiled with 'ah well I’m siding with your brother who almost stabbed you'. He sucks so bad like y'all chose this dumbass over Thingol????
You're too kind, anon (^///^)
Finwe choosing to join Feanor is one of those things that I think was objectively the wrong choice, but I see how he got there. To me, it was one of Finwe's deeply flawed moments, which makes him a real character and not just an idealized Fantasy Elf King. It's also one of those moments where I would love to have more detail, because we get almost nothing on what Finwe's relationship with his later four children was like. Silm virtually only addresses his relationship with Feanor, so I understand why a lot of fans interpret this to mean Finwe showed favoritism towards Feanor/preferred him to his other kids, and the narrative does tell us Finwe paid particular attention to Feanor (however, given their family history, I don't think this is a huge surprise--he has a lot of reason to be worried about how Feanor will handle the family growing). The result though is that we get basically nothing about how Finwe and Fingolfin addressed the "Feanor pulls weapons on his brother in public" incident between them.
However--and maybe you will feel this is splitting hairs--I don't think Finwe chooses to go into exile because he thinks Feanor was in the right, but because he believed the Valar's punishment was unfair. He only has one quote on it:
"Feanor came indeed, for him alone Manwe had commanded to come; but Finwe came not, nor any of the others of the Noldor of Formenos. For said Finwe: 'While the ban lasts upon Feanor my son, that he may not go to Tirion, I hold myself unkinged, and I will not meet my people.'" (Of the Darkening of Valinor)
It's not much, but it's always suggested to me his issue was with the punishment imposed...and I find it hard to believe Tolkien held Finwe up intending him to be "good" and would then have him approve of one of his sons drawing a weapon on the other.
Furthermore, we know how highly Feanor values loyalty and how much he values Finwe's attention, so Finwe would have to know what a significant gesture this would be to Feanor in the wake of his being publicly exposed as having been manipulated by Melkor, and exiled. There's also the fact that Feanor's behavior is increasingly erratic and extreme, which must be an additional concern.
By the other side of the coin though, he must also know how it will look to Fingolfin.
It's true that at this time, Feanor and Fingolfin are both grown adults with families of their own. They aren't little boys chasing after daddy, but clearly Finwe's attention and affection still means something to him. And given Elves' immortality, I've always found it easy to believe that Elven parents maintain a much stronger presence in their children's esteem, simply because they never undergo the slow degradation of mind and body that mortal children expect to see in their parents as they age. But even setting that aside, it would be hard, I think, for Fingolfin not to be hurt by Finwe's choice, even if he understands why it was made. If Fingolfin harbored no resentment about the choice, I'd say we should nominate him for sainthood.
We see that during Feanor's "trial," Fingolfin is already asserting a willingness to forgive him for what was done. I talked about that here, and why I don't find "Fingolfin the usurper" a convincing take. It may be that Finwe and Fingolfin were not in disagreement that Finwe's going with Feanor was best--it may be that even Fingolfin thought it was better to have Finwe there to try to constrain Feanor and make him see sense (This is what he was talking to Finwe about when Feanor originally bursts in with the sword) rather than leave him to fester in Formenos with only his sons, all of whom support him (In Morgoth's Ring, even Nerdanel is not with him in Formenos, one of the few people he actually listened to; they've separated due to Feanor's troubling recent behavior).
When it comes to fights between kids, parents are often reluctant to take sides. This can be true even where one child is obviously in the wrong, even repeatedly. There are any number of reasons Finwe didn't want to see the rift between Feanor and Fingolfin as being that serious, not least of all because I'm sure he wanted them to get along and be brothers, and he loved both of them. When Melkor's hand in Feanor's unrest comes to light, this must have been deeply upsetting for Finwe. Thinking that his child had been targeted by Melkor and used by him to cause these problems among the Noldor would be alarming, and there would be a sense of violation there, probably especially for Feanor. Very possibly Finwe believes that the Valar are punishing Feanor for Melkor's actions.
"Now the unrest of the Noldor was not indeed hidden from the Valar...Then at last the root was laid bare, and the malice of Melkor revealed; and straightway Tulkas left the council to lay hands upon him and bring him to judgement. But Feanor was not held guiltless, for he it was that had broken the peace of Valinor and drawn his sword upon his kinsman..." (Of the Silmarils)
I've said this a lot about the situation of the House of Finwe, but it was complicated. Do I think Finwe made the right choice in exiling himself with Feanor? No, not really. Do I see how he thought it was necessary or would cause less damage? Yeah, I do. People often don't see clearly when it comes to their kids, and I think Finwe has probably always harbored a lot of concern over Feanor because of what happened with Miriel, and possibly guilt over the fact that Feanor never reconciled himself to Finwe's remarriage or his additional children. He may feel that he needs to show this loyalty to Feanor to make up for the other things, or he may feel that leaving Feanor alone at this time will only make his mental condition worse.
Or he may just love Feanor more than his other kids. But I don't prefer that explanation.
Finwe is a flawed person. I certainly think it's possible to characterized him as a little selfish, and willfully blind to his children's conflict, and the scale of Feanor's dislike for his step-mother and her kids. But he'd hardly be the first parent to do that. I don't think there was ever any malice in it, and I don't generally take to interpretations that he openly and heavily favored Feanor over his other children. I think it may have felt that way to Indis' kids at times (although I don't think Feanor ever saw it that way, since he never seems to have managed to feel secure about anyone's affection), but I don't think Finwe genuinely loved Feanor more or wanted better things for him than the other kids. I think he was trying to balance Feanor's huge and volatile feelings with his own desires, and then with Indis' needs and the needs and desires of their children, and he probably was excessively concerned with Feanor's feelings--but Feanor also has a way of demanding people pay attention to his feelings.
In conclusion: Yeah I think Finwe made a subpar choice there, but I don't hate him or think he was awful (although perhaps something of an oblivious father). I think he wanted very much to believe that everything could be fine and good in Aman, so much so that he downplayed actual conflicts among the Noldor and particularly among his children, on the hope that everything would work itself out eventually (And who's to say? If not for Melkor, maybe it would have.) And in the end, he pays for those choices with his life.

I Will Knock You Episode 11 D/s point outs
Tumblr media
I write the Dominant element in this review, while @thequeenofsastiel writes the sub element. I'll be linking her portion of the review tomorrow. So please look forward to that. Hope you guys have been enjoying!
The first scene immediately shows the attachment that Thi has gained for Noey. He doesn't argue about missing him and just tells him to go. We then see his mom step out on the balcony. He knows how his parents will feel about Thi, and he just isn't willing to go there. This shows a growth in Thi because before, he would have just given Noey up.
Then they get to the school and Noey knows his man. He is questioning what is wrong and then excited to hear it's Thi's parents. His friends can clearly see how in love Thi is and aren't arguing but seem like, wth. Sweet Jezebel and that damn Phayu. I love that Thi despite how rude Noey is now, doesn't argue. He just lets Noey continue putting his stamps of ownership.
Aww, not my baby gang. Don't hurt me like this. I wanna hug him!
I love that we are seeing the sensitive side of Noey. Seeing what it does to him to lose a submissive friend. Because a Dom that gives a shit is always going to feel that. Being a Dom doesn't mean never being vulnerable. You'd be a crappy Dom if you didn't care. "I'm here with you. Right by your side. I'm not going anywhere" Thi has truly blossomed in his subby side.
Thi has really grown. OMG, I love seeing it. Then mom and dad come out, and I already don't like them. That little head nod when Noey is so respectful. Not cool.
See! I told you they sucked, and not in a good way! I've only talked to another parent like that when my kid got put in danger or when their kid tries to bully mine. As a mom to two brats, it's been a struggle on the bullying front, luckily the middle child has his demon sister. Anyway, while Noey is a hoodlum, he is a hoodlum with a heart and code, so I would say she's done pretty damn good as a mom.
Look at Thi, look how much strength he has gained from being a sub. His Dom is that important to him that he stands up to his parents, who he normally never would. The fact that he didn't fight harder on the necklace was very unsub like, though. A sub will fight for their ownership object. Look at the way he stares at it.
I love the sister. Oh fuck, if a Dom thinks they did a shitty job as a Dom. They will spiral bad. He'll go right back to his old life if he truly believes that he isn't a good Dom. There we go, he's decided to fight. Ha! He calls and proves to Thi he is still his Dom. See how he is talking to Thi. This is what I'm going to do, and you just need to worry about your studies. Very Dom and very commanding. See how he is telling him how it's going to be. Agh!
They are so fucking cute! Thi saying that he's always enjoyed Noey's cooking. OMG. They are trying to kill me with the sweetness. Thi is so in love. It's like it keeps smacking him in the head. Anybody else noticed that Thi has started carting that one strand of hair? At least in the one scene.
Noey sucks as basketball, and let's hope he learned a lesson. Fucking baby Dom. "How could you go watch a movie with him. Who told you that you could go!" Tell me that's not Dom. He put down the law, he's giving him ten minutes. Punishment will be him dragging Thi back. And by now he has proven to Thi time and again that he means what he says. Notice that he now carries a phone around? That way, he can always be in contact with his sub. The back and forth sleeping, so cute.
Ahh, everyone is so cute and happy for months! Which actually does a lot to fix the separation concern. They have had time to establish. Expectations and guidelines should be known by now. No contact would do some damage, but constant contact with lots of visits would be doable.
And Noey's stupid ass listened to Thi's parents. Let's just hope Thi knows what's going on because that's the only thing that's going to keep him from spiraling.
Love you guys! Hope you enjoy! 💜💜💜

im bored does anyone wanna talk about how Glenn and Willy are actually extremely similar. no???? too bad bitch anyway,,,,
They literally have the exact same parenting style. Which is that they do not want to be parents at all lol. Either because its too hard or annoying or because it's limiting their careers and so they abandon their children and essential force them to raise themselves. I fully believe that Nick had more then a few "making pasta" moments like kid Ron did.
They both have dead wives that before their deaths they more then likely pushed most if not all of the parenting onto. Willy clearly hates kids and doesn't want to deal with Ron and Glenn has absolutely no parenting skills whatsoever and is incredibly immature.
Both of their children grew up with extreme fear about their fathers. Ron grew up terrified because of the constant abuse and gaslighting he dealt with and Nick grew up thinking that if he wasn't the most agreeable, fun and complicit version of himself that his dad would just straight up leave him, resulting in him hurting himself repeatedly for attention. Both of them knew that this was how their children felt and did not change.
They are both comfortable with and prone to acts of violence/murder and often find it funny when others are suffering or in pain because of them.
They both gaslight and manipulate to get their way and truly don't care about how it effects others as long as they get what they want.
They are both incredibly selfish and apathetic to others. They both don't really have friends seemingly just because they suck to be around.
They both had absent/addict fathers.
They are both canonically hot(this is nothing but I felt like bringing it up).
They both don't like kids despite having children.
They both were in isolation prisons for extreme amounts of time that kinda drove them insane and fucked up their charisma stats.
They both did deez nutz jokes because they are both fucking stupid idiot losers.
Anyway thats all I can think of rn but there's definitely more here. Friendly reminder that Glenn/Willy is objectively the fucking funniest ship and Freddy if you're reading this make it canon come on I wanna see that weird flirting/chemistry thing you have with Anthony but through the some of the worst characters in the show

Hey Bug I read your tag response to the oc post and I have a question you’re not obligated to answer!
Pronouns and gender interest me, especially when people use ones that aren’t the same as/associated with their sex, and I’m curious if there’s a reason why you use both it/its and they/them?
It/its is commonly used to refer to objects, and I’m wondering if you use those pronouns because of that (the association of something outside the binary) or because it’s just gender neutral.
This is very random and I hope I worded it okay :)
I was writing a longer thingie here, but I'm shortening it here because I could talk for Hours about Gender. So. For me, gender was always a prison. I was expected to be a Girl, and as a girl I could really only reach for Second Best most of the time. It sucked.
I finally felt like myself when I made friends (real friends) for the first time in Washington, which was a much more liberal area than where I had been raised. Nobody really bullied me any more, and I finally found someone that made me feel like I didn't have to be afraid to be Myself. Eventually I found out that I liked girls and that it was an okay feeling for someone who was also a girl to have. I made friends with my friend's friends and their younger sibling, who I got along with as a Fellow G1 My Little Pony Fan And Toy Collector.
Something still didn't feel right though. I was finally Myself, but I still woke up every day cursing god that I was a girl and was expected to do and want girl things. It sucked. I didn't wanna be a girl. I didn't wanna be a boy either, I was just trading out glittery pink princess shackles for metallic blue football shackles. Shackles are still Shackles no matter how cool they look, and I'm not one to just go along with what everyone else wants me to do, at the very least I'll fight the whole way.
One day, my friend's younger sibling pipes up in our group chat and says "Hey I'm Nonbinary and use They/Them Pronouns, please call me [Name] instead of [deadname] from here on out." I didn't know what all of these words meant at all. So I messaged them and asked, because what else are ya gonna do?? They filled me in on the whole thing with Gender being a Spectrum, and they were simply choosing No Gender With Left Beef. Once they were done explaining I almost couldn't believe what I'd heard, it was like they'd taken every secret desire in my heart and said "hey this is possible and also super cool and you can do what you want actually." Like it really did just all fit into place for me. A little while later I came out as nonbinary because I didn't wanna steal their thunder but I was 110% ready to be Done with the whole Girl Thing. Didn't decide to go by a different name until I told my mom that I'm nonbinary. She still doesn't get it and won't use the name I've chosen even to this day, but you can't win 'em all, and I'm glad to finally know who I am.
I don't feel a lack of gender though, if anything I feel Almost Too Much Gender. White isn't the absence of color, but it's actually all colors at once. When light shines through a prism, it refracts into a rainbow. That's the closest I can get to explaining my gender. I'm genderfluid, so some days I'm more purple than blue, or more yellow than green, but they're all there in different amounts, you just can't see it unless I shine a light on it, really. They/Them also works because I contain multitudes. It's Great. Gender is a Spectrum and I'm a Rainbow.
Onto the it/it's thing. I've always loved insects and little creatures Too Small and Strange to Put a Gender To, most people can't look at a Roly-Poly and say Oh That's A Girl Insect, they just hold it up on their finger and admire it's cute little antennas. I've Always Fucked Heavily With That. But that's not what fully It/It's'd My Gender. I was at college and having moved to a Much Less Liberal Place Than Washington, there was a group of girls making fun of trans people for Anything They Could Think Of because they're bigoted and slurs are funny or whatever. I mentioned that I'm gay and use they/them pronouns, and cracked a few Tumblr Jokes™ like the good old "I'm about to make your pronouns was/were," and got a few laughs. And then the girl that started this whole mess was uncomfortable that the spotlight wasn't on her anymore and said some unfunny shit like "lol this table's pronouns are it/it's!!! Lmao!!! how ridiculous 😂🤣😂🤣" and I decided then and there that those are gonna be my pronouns. And funny enough, even after I left college, the pronouns stuck, I really like them! They feel comfortable, like the right pronouns for a Bug such as Myself.
My Gender Journey has mostly been stumbling into different Gender Things and trying them on, and if I don't like it then the gender goes back on the rack. If I do I just take it home with me and style it however I please. Gender doesn't have to be a prison!!!! Sometimes it can be your fucking home!!!!!!! It's Great!!!!!!!!
TLDR: friend freed me from gender prison and I found they/them pronouns bc I have lotsa the Gender Fluid in me, someone made fun of it/its pronouns so I decided to make it uncomfortable for them to be transphobic, ended up Liking it/its pronouns.
Can't believe that this is the shortened version of my original post. Thank you for asking Minty!!!!!! This was a fun trip down memory lane :)

I don't consume any fan content and I don't wanna get involved with this post, but it made me wonder. Like first I thought OP was complaining about how fan fiction makes it overly convenient for two characters to unexpectedly fuck--like every fic is just a lazy setup for random sex scenes, the way that mundanities like pizza delivery and emergency plumbing are inciting incidents in pornos. Then I realized that maybe OP doesn't object to the cheap, too-convenient sex scenes; it's only the routine appearance of the guest toothbrush that bothers them. So their reasonable question may be, why is that a phenomenon? It can't be essential to the plot or atmosphere or anything, this insisted-on reassurance that the visitor who winds up at the spontaneous erotic slumber party Definitely gets to brush their teeth, Don't worry you guys! Is the answer just that the average fandom member is so obsessive compulsive that fic authors just KNOW they have to clarify whether or not appropriate dental hygiene happened before and/or after all the sucking and fucking? Like nobody can relax and j/o until the guest toothbrush makes its appearance? That's actually really funny.
I have never led a lifestyle that would tell me if most sexually active adults normally have lots of spare toothbrushes to accommodate potential overnight hookups. The person who actually reblogged this onto my dash seemed to think it was CRAZY for independent grownups not to have a lot of spare sex toothbrushes around, but somehow I doubt that's universal. I often have extra toothbrushes from dentist appointments and shit, but it never occurred to me that it is the duty of the promiscuous individual to make sure that unplanned lays have the ability to brush their teeth before they walk-of-shame it home or to work. And if I were meeting someone whose place I hoped to stay at/had done so before and I were REALLY worried about my teeth, I'd probably bring my own toothbrush rather than expect the person to offer amenities! But that's just me, the person who already admitted that she has little to no experience with random sex. My only point of reference for this is my old, extremely slutty roommate who accumulated a big collection of really gross used toothbrushes on the edge of our sink. I do believe they were from hookups, but I think those dudes brought their own, I don't think that my broke, freewheeling roommate was stocking up on fresh toothbrushes to provide proper hospitality for the stream of drunk strangers that came through. Anyway at one point I begged my roommate to just look around the bathroom and throw out anything that was trash, and I thought it was obvious that I meant the broken coke mirror on the floor by the toilet and all those pestilent toothbrushes, but he came out with only MY almost-full bottles of shampoo and conditioner in his hands, ready to toss them out because he "didn't think anyone was using them."
THE END.

'Young Folks' (Karl Jacobs)
Honestly, I saw some of my followers or the likes from my Tumblr liking the story I did for Karl so here's another revolving blackjack. Also if you don't know how to play the game don't worry it will be described in the story. The song called 'Young Folks' by  Peter Bjorn and John also let me know if you want a part 2 of the date.
Karl Jacob List Masterlist
************
''Honestly, do we have to do this, you know I suck at Blackjack," I complain as he shuffles the deck. "Y/n it's just a game. It's not like we are turning this into a bet" sitting across from him. I know this wasn't going to be a fair game. He knew what he was doing and I did. "Fine but can you please explain the game one more time?" He nods, pulling cards.
One was shown as the other was shown as well he puts them side by side. He does the same for himself. My card was a 9 of Diamonds and my second card was a 3 of Spade. He has 4 of Hearts and his hidden card was a 7 of cloves. "You are the player as I am the dealer/player. We will both have chips. Basically, the chips are money. We both can see one card was revealed at the beginning. Our second card should always be covered. You can either 'Hit, Stand, or Double.'" Blank. Three words and I forgot what they meant. "By your face, I'm guessing you forgot what they meant," I nod as he laughs at me, 'Hit' means you will get another card. 'Stand' means you are fine with your cards. 'Double' means you are pretty confident in your card and you want to raise the bet.." okay the words are pretty self-explanatory. "Your or mine object is to get to 21. Nothing higher or lower. But if you hit," he puts a card in front of me. Getting a 10.
3+9+10=22
"22. One-off of 21." He laughed as I hit his shoulder. "Sorry. What you have here is called a Bust." 'Bust' means if your cards are over 21 you lose your money. "but if I hit and I get a," placing a card in front of him. Showing a 9.
7+4+9=20
"20." He looks up at me. "Meaning I win this part of the game." He took both cards. Trying to look for something on the deck. He pulls out two Ace revealing them both to me. "If you have two of the same cards like this. You can 'Split.' whichever hand is closer to 21 wins or if I hit 21 I win. To remind you. Aces are 11 or 1. For the King, Queen, and Jack they are 10."
"Ready to play Y/n?"
"Ready as I will ever be Karl."
The first game was easy. We both got 500. I bet 50. Placing a blue chip. He matches this only to check in. Play in the game. My first card was a 5 of Hearts. My next card is 6 Diamonds. His first card is a 7 of Spade. His second card was hidden. I had 11. "Hit" Gave me 7 Diamonds. 18. I tested my luck. "Hit" Giving me a 4 of Hearts. 22. A Bust. Karl laughed. It was his turn. If he just went under 21 he won. Knowing his luck. 7 of spades. 14. He won taking the money. "Thank you."
After about 10, I was either over with a bust or under betting 100 only because we were both getting cocky and Karl believed he had the best hand. As for Karl, he was taking my money, But there was one game where it was Blackjack. I had 2 spades and 2 hearts. Karl looked at me, "Wanna split or keep them together?" Both 10's what are the chances of that. "Split.' He nods his head bringing out An Ace making it 11 and getting 21 on my first pair. I tilt my head a little with a smirk at karl. "Hit" Once again Karl nods, placing a King of spades. Making it 20. "Your go" Now it was Karl's play. All he had to do was to either get a bust or not get 21. His first card was King of diamonds flipping his second card 3 of Diamonds. 13. We both gave a glance and then looked down at the cards. He got another card from the deck, a 9 of diamonds. 22. He got a bust. "I win." getting me over 225 dollars in poker chips. He clapped his hands. " Winner Winner Chicken Dinner." I laughed a little. "Chicken Dinner?" He glances at me, giving me the money. "It's a saying in Vegas., Baby." A light blush went across my face as I smiled a little
Approaching midnight, we both had good and bad games. "How about we both go all-in" Karl gave me a look then look at my chips. "You sure you want to lose all those chips." I shrugged acting confident. "What makes you think you are going to win against me, Karl. I am getting a little better-ish." He laughed. "FIne you can g all in but I'm saying I'm winning so why not up the states?' A deal. "And what is this like a deal?" He nods his head. "Why of course, Putting in all our chips," If I win I take you on a real date, not the ones that your brother interrupts us halfway just so he could watch if we are being pg13." Placing all of mine in the middle. "Alright. If I win I will post something on your Twitter and you cannot and will not delete it." Pulling out my hand to shake over the poker chips. He looked at my hand then my eyes. "Deal"
The last game started, and the first card for me was Queen of Spades, and the second was 10 of Clover. For Karl, it was King of Spades the ther is hidden. "Are we doing a best of three or a one and done?" I looked up and, Karl. "Mmm One and done is good so what do you what to do on this date" I laugh a little at his question. "I mean as much as I don't like surprises. Surprise me. I done." Karl nods. "Okay," He flips his second card. Jack of Clover.
'Its a tie." I laughed a little. "The one time we bet all in and make a deal we tie." I just laugh more as Karl was too stunned to talk. "I guess we both win." I placed my hand over to get his phone over. Unlocking the phone to see a photo of me and him together as I smile. "Nice picture of us on your homescreen." Karl started to put the things away as he laugh. "Thanks, I took it with this person I really like." I started to blush a little opening Twitter.
Karl :) @KarlJacobs_

Turning off the phone," How's tomorrow night?" He turned his back to face me. "Tomorrow perfect?"

since i answered i def wanna know your thoughts on the Buu arc im so curious if you want to share ofc! (esp bc i had no idea there was discourse about this help)
YAYA OF COURSE! I'll put these under the cut because naturally anything Dragon Ball with me is a long affair
So, everyone kind of agrees that the Buu arc is the weakest overall arc from Dragon Ball Z. However, just how weak it exactly is is kind of widely debated
I think the biggest issue with the Buu arc imo is the pacing. I rewatched it sort of recently and honestly it was a bit of a chore to get through. It just felt like there was a LOT more filler here than in the earlier arcs, and idk I just felt like some of it was a lot more boring. I have no problem with filler inherently, but when it's not very fun it's just....bleh, y'know?
It also feels like some of the things are so...disconnected. Like, Gohan was originally supposed to be the main character, and we saw a bit of it with the school life in the beginning and him trying to use his powers for good under the guise of being a superhero, but after Goku comes back that's...kind of it.
The stuff with Gohan and the Kais was funny but also like. Gohan didn't really work to get that powerup iirc. The old supreme Kai just kinda....walked around him a bunch and kept him out of the story for a bit which sucks because there's so much you can do with Gohan but they don't do anything! Like, after the stuff with the Kais, he fails to catch the Potarra earring to fuse with Goku like BRO that could've been really good for his arc
But I mean. Of course I won't really complain as like the #1 Vegito fan because he is so fucking fun and his fight with Buu was AMAZING. Objectively, though, it kinda left Gohan in the dust which is :(
I agree with you in that Buu wasn't a very interesting villain either. I thought he was an interesting character though, and I really loved his relationship with Mr. Satan- who btw CARRIES this arc he literally saved the world like good for him
Speaking of arcs I really loved Vegeta's character development here it was just. so good. Him wanting to go back to how he was and becoming Majin Vegeta was AMAZING I knew exactly what his motivations were. Which actually speaking of Majin Vegeta it's crazy to think he was SO popular and was the source of so many edgy DBZ AMVs from the early 2000s and yet he like. Barely appears? Wack. But anyway his sacrifice to try and take out Buu was PHENOMENAL. Not only was it super pretty from an animation perspective but also it was beautiful from a story perspective. Vegeta my beloved
Uhhh, what else, what else....animation-wise, it's Dragon Ball. The fights are fun, the attacks are cool, but also I CANNOT believe they just introduced SSJ3 out of nowhere??? Like I always forget about that but there was no hinting or buildup to it Goku was just like "oh yeah I can do this btw hee hee" like aight man.
Overall it's a pretty fun arc but it also feels like a bit of a chore to get through LOL it definitely feels like the longest out of the four arcs but it doesn't really deserve to
