honestly hilarious how many punches ive been pulling for fear of coming off wrong wrt fucking homestuck of all things but it's not just lame cowardice on my part like i think since bearing witness to the kind of insane fandom discourse that existed 2016-2020 i'm half convinced i'll be skinned alive if i imply something strange or unsavory about somebody's blorbo. but actually no that makes it sound like there will be tangible consequences for mildly irritating someone on the internet which isn't true generally speaking it's just the rsd/ocd and i need to get over the idea of people not liking me

Hi, I would like to understand why do you ship Mario and Luigi? You don't have to answer if it's not comfortable for you. 🙂
This soooooo immediately reads as a bait question, but I'm trusting you here anon I'm trusting you asked this in genuine good faith which I don't know why you would but if you want to know;
The short answer is Because I Want To and I Like Them. Plain and simple, there doesn't have to be a deeper reason. Sometimes we just ship things because we want to. Understood? Okay cool.
A slightly longer answer would be because they're the kind of Ship Dynamic that brings me the most comfort. I love a ship where they are each other's other half, they understand eachother and support eachother and just get eachother in ways no other person ever could. Loving eachother, being together is all they've ever known, they can't imagine a world where they're not together, side by side.
Platonic or Romantic aside, Mario and Luigi are a perfect pair, that's their entire thing. Mario is Reckless and Headstrong, Luigi is Calculating and Sturdy. Mario charges forward, Luigi holds the line. Mario picks mushrooms out of his spaghetti, and Luigi eats them. They fill in the gaps the other leaves, they compliment and communicate and trust one another undoubtedly.
I love a love like that. Of course it's you. It was always going to be you. It could never be anyone but you. I am not me without you, and you are not you without me. They are eachother's everything
They are a bonded pair, do not separate.

miguel o'hara x cheshire cat! spider! reader drabble
Tumblr media
word count: 580
TW: angst, fluff, literally makes no sense
A/N: basically as i'm writing a goth girl! reader smut, i was listening to the playlist 'alice by heart' and i just thought of a cheshire cat! spider! reader comforting a lost in grief miguel? i dunno, it probs dont even make sense. but maybe when i'm free next i'll write a smut fic of miguel going to wonderland to capture an anomaly and she ran into cheshire cat who offers him some 'distractions'? ;) anyways posting goth girl! reader smut soon!!! welcome to the club!! ^^
y/n l/n. alias? cheshire spider. from earth-444, also known as 'wonderland'. you were a skilled spider, but very irritating to miguel. he had allowed you into spider society purely for your good agility and strength. agility of a cat, powers of a spider. and the fact that you could disappear and reappear whenever you please was useful too.
on a day you wanted to bug and annoy miguel, you walked in at a bad time. he was looking through past images and videos of his daughter.
'..who's that?' you asked, as miguel's eyes widened in shock and anger. 'get out.' he said bluntly. 'no. who is that?' you asked. 'get out cheshire!' miguel snapped. 'no miguel i want to know who that is.' 'didn't curiosity ever kill the cat?!' 'tell me.' you snapped back. 'i'm sick to death of you cheshire! you just dk nothing but bug everyone, i'm sick to death!!' miguel yelled angrily, as you looked completely unphased. in fact, you smiled.
'looks like i hit a soft spot.' you said, smirking. you disappeared suddenly, your smiling disappearing last until it first reappeared beside the current video of miguel and his daughter playing together. '..y'know i'm actually good with grief?' you said. miguel raised an angry eyebrow at that. 'what?' he said, confused slightly. 'what, you think none of us cared when alice left us?' you said, raising an eyebrow. '..that's nothing compared to my pain.' miguel spat coldly. 'senseless, heartless. you won't ever give this girl's soul up?' you asked, tilting your head, miguel gave up arguing. he sighed, frustrated. '..my daughter. gabriella. i..i killed her.' miguel said quietly.
you looked down, nodding as you listened. '..was it a multiversal collapse?' you asked, as miguel nodded, looking down. '..some things fall away. you just have to accept them.' you said. 'how am i supposed so accept something so devastating?' miguel asked, sounding offended. '..just cry and it's a crisis. if you let your grief sink in, you'll be able to move forward. losing a loved one is incredibly hard, the mock turtles told me all about that, but you're living in shock here. your heart is cold. how can you protect the multiverse if you're so cold and distant on yourself, let alone your team-mates?' you said, raising an eyebrow.
miguel was shocked. for once, what you said made, some sort of sense. no mockery, no jokes, no riddle. did you genuinely want to help him..?
'i may not know how you feel,, but i'm sure that i can try to help you out of this rut.' you smiled softly. '..why are you so.. different?' miguel asked wearily. 'you're so mischievous, so snarky and sneaky, why?' miguel asked. 'hm.. i suppose that's how i was raised. wonderland is very different to nueva york.' you stated, sitting on his desk table.
'you mustn't grow up, you mustn't disobey the queen, you mustn't be late for tea..' you rambled, before smiling again. 'you mustn't hide within your shell of grief.' that caught miguel off guard. he let out a small chuckle.
'you're right, wonderland is very different to nueva york.' he said, looking down. you two sat in silence for a few moments, but it was.. comforting. the silence spoke thousands of words. it was a.. good silence. miguel hadn't heard of a 'good silence' in a while.
'..maybe you could come visit wonderland?' you offered, smirking. 'no way, cheshire.' miguel replied, breaking a small smile.

my thing about izaya is that he's so strange and weird and i love that so much. i didn't want to ramble too much in the notes of that poor person's post but i find the way he speaks and the words he chooses so interesting so let me ramble a little bit. this may or may not even be coherent so bear with me here im just going to speak my thoughts.
ok this got really fucking long and all over the 0place so im putting this under a read more sorry.
so i have volume 9 of the novel in both english and japanese. i only have two novels in japanese and that is this one and yuuyake wo. so i'm pretty crazy about this izaya speech analysis shit. anyways i was rereading thru the jp ver the other day just to compare it to the eng and i kinda realized that like.
a lot of people you can separate their speech in either formal and informal speech right? someone like shizuo speaks really informally and uses a lot of rough, dragged-out versions of words and stuff (しゃーねえ vs しょうがない) and then someone like shinra who speaks in a ton of yojijukugo and generally sounds like a nerd emoji gijinka.
izaya on the other hand rly... doesn't fit in either? i mean sure he sounds like another nerd emoji gijinka but it's kinda different. it's not so much the words he speaks but rather the intonation and his tone...
and he has his moments where he speaks pretty seriously and whatnot of course, but in general he just... doesn't sound very human when he speaks? i don't know if that's a conscious effort or not. is it his attempts at distancing himself from his own individual humanity? or is it just because he's a weird guy? i dunno. but it's interesting nonetheless.
one thing i will note though is that despite his somewhat inhuman speech patterns, it's also pretty...dramatic? to the extent where it's really exaggerated but also very cute and charming. (this part is important.)
i think a lot of what makes izaya's speech so weirdly inhuman is because he doesn't really use a lot of slang or similar lingo that people his age would typically use. i know mikado said in the novels that he doesn't really try to fit in with his age group's fashion sense either so it makes sense but still. he's like an old hag it's so funny. and it's because of that that when he says stuff like 'i don't get all hot and heavy over headless women' or whatever he said to celty it's really amusing to me because like... why is the strange man saying this?💀
another example i kinda giggled about on my twitter when i read it it's not even crazy and i sound corny and cheesy and stupid but theres this scene in vol 9 where izaya messages celty for business and hold on let me just put it as a quote.
Tumblr media
he sounds so old saying 'video game' like 😭 idk it's just funny cause he barely even knows anything abt games like bro knows nothing im crying
in the jp hes like 「…ゲーム中なのかい?」 and then when celty tries to explain herself he says 「何を言ってるのか、良く解らないんだけど」 and im rly bad at tling parts of sentences and stuff but just know that the way he words it makes it sound like this gif to me
Tumblr media
i love both versions i think the original jp makes him sound like hes so lost and confused (hence why pw gif cause lord that man always looks lost LMFAOOOO) and then eng tl just blunt ass "I don't know what you're talking about." makes him sound like full on hag 😭😭😭
OMFG WAIT I HAVE TO MENTION THIS FUCKING SCENE WITH SHINRA ITS SO FUNNY.
Tumblr media
first i think it's funny the translation has izaya say fuck here cause he very rarely swears and i did read this one thing about how he only swears when his mask slips so to me this is like genuine bewilderment that he cant even hide LOL. second why is he so excited to hear about 'whatever sexual fetish' shinra has im crying he's so damn nosy . okay but this is not the funniest part let me add that now.
Tumblr media
???
ehy the hell is izaya orihara talking about foot fetishes???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im crying bruh i was so flabbergasted when i read this i was like WHAT did he just say? he says it in the jp ver too which just makes it even funnier. this goes back to what i said earlier but i always get so amused when izaya has something to say about sex or whatever cause he's so fucking weird and unsettling why does he know that
(i mean i also get so hard i nearly pass out thinking about izaya tlaking about sex but thats probably just a thing with my heart condition and stuff)
oh also another scene i think is really cute and amusing and funny is back when shinra was first still trying to get izaya to form the bio club w him.
Tumblr media
1. shinra is funny as fuck in this scene but also izaya's "Hmm. Can I punch you?" made me havbe a good laugh. in the jp he says 「んー。殴ってもいいのかな?」 which is pretty much the same thing just with the intonation of like 'hmmmmmmmmm should i hit u or not...' sorry like i said im just bad w explaining this stuff. but i felt the need to point it out not cause im one of those annoying ppl who praise the original jp ver and reject translations and localizations i just think it's important for izaya specifically cause i love him and i want to analyze his speech patterns as best as i can.
i was going thru the novel just now for other stuff i wanted to mention and i forgot abt this part but it's so funny.
Tumblr media
'Let's not get hasty. Type calmly, please.' its not even funny or nothing i just find it so amusinf whenever he talks like that💀 i will say though the english translation kind of makes him sound more weird and inhuman than the original. that line in the original was basically just him telling her she needs to calm down enough to at least type properly LOL. idk if im just being nitpicky cause this is izaya tho so feel free to ignore that. fwiw i like the eng tl bc while it's a different intonation than the original japanese ver i think if he did speak english it would probably sound smth like that anyways.
Tumblr media
this too made me laugh like ??? seriously he is really nosy when it comes to people's intimate affairs. in the jp ver he calls them an 'intimate couple' which just is like .. ok bro💀
does anyone else see my vision of izaya getting cucked by celty (does it count as cucking when celtys the one dating shinra) while he looks sad and pathetic and miserable that he never decided to shoot his shot w shinra back in the day
Tumblr media
if i were commenting on the actual stuff going on in this scene rn this post would be a lot olonger and even more terribly all over the place so im just gonna focus on how i think it's funny izaya says 'easy, man...' this is like one of the only times his words are somewhat natural and sound like smth you would hear someone else say. in the jp ver it's 「おいおい…」 which is somewhat less out of left field in terms of coming from izaya but still it's pretty surprisingly normal. i have to wonder if in that moment he's too worried about shinra to care about keeping up appearances.
this is just random and me making fun of izaya as usual but why the hell does he weigh himself after his showers💀💀💀 it's cute and endearing and only adds to his strong gap moe but still... it's strange...
speaking of cute things this is from a volume i forget but he says this one phrase a couple of times and it is just both really cute and also kind of idk... saddening. one of the times i can remember he says it is when namie was making fun of him or something and he replies 'Don't tease me. I'm only human.' or something along those lines and it's like . hm. ok.
i think it's cute he says 'dont tease me' a few times cause eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (trying to ward off severe brain damaged incoherent thoughts) but 'im only human' is like... are you really? even after you try so hard to escape your own humanity and individual self so much... im going to try and give my thoughts on it here but this is just based off my hc that izaya has bpd so yanno. im basing a lot oif this on my own experiences sorry. i do that a lot. (gestures over to all the posts i make abt fob/mychem fan izaya)
when it comes to just straight up acknowledging his humanity izaya has no problems with this because 'sure, i'm human. isn't that obvious?' is probably something along the lines of what he thinks. it's easy for him to just say that because it's just that. it's just words. it holds no real meaning and shows no true insight into how he actually perceives himself. but when it comes to actually having to come face to face with his own humanity and the fact that yes, he is only human, it's a lot more difficult because now it's out of his control. i wonder also if he has problems with perceiving his own self.
i say this a lot but i truly do believe izaya is so so so beautiful and i love him so much. also i just saw a funny post on twitter so i wanna say this here idk if yall know this but izayas actually a latina hes got chismosavirus❤ ok thats all i have to say sorry for rambling so much

was offline most of today building a bookshelf but I saw the ask game was back and if you're still feeling it can I hear about that villainess au =D
ask me about my wips | wip list
this one's almost embarrassing to answer... but I won't be embarrassed! i want to say like, back in 2020...? ish? I started running into like, a bunch of isekai webcomics where it's like... oh no! i've become the villainess??? or it's like, even if it's not an isekai it's about like, this maligned woman getting together with someone unconventional... I don't know if I can describe them well. anyways my experience with them has been "oh this is fun but i want this to be pushed harder"? by and large.
now that's my like... inspiration, in some regards, to this fic. hence the title. it is not the fic. this fic is hualian (from tgcf / heaven's official blessing)
uh and ultimately all of this rambling is unrelated because this fic is actually just. a hualian sort of like. fake-arranged marriage thing. hua cheng is basically this like... noble who's known as this cursed figure. and he and xie lian are faking an engagement for like. Reasons. my reason being that i wanted to write hualian where they have a much more tumultuous relationship but it still like Works. there's fun stuff with like mistaken identities, misunderstandings, shenanigans between the noble families, i live out my yushi huang and hua cheng friendship dreams. eventually. dunno if this makes any sense so i will just put a bit under the cut...?
When he wakes up, he can’t get the crown prince’s voice out of his head. It lingers in his thoughts like the imprint of the floor against his cheek, overshadowing the soft, golden light of the morning. He’s always woken up early, ever since he crept out of his room one night and watched in amazement as the stars glittered in the night and were overtaken by the warm expanse of the rising sun. That sense of wonder eclipsed any fears he might’ve had about being caught, and now that Hua Cheng is well into adulthood, there’s nothing stopping him. 
Today, the sunrise feels dark and unappealing, a reflection of his own self-worth. He holds the weight of the mask in his hand and debates whether he should wear it. Eventually he sighs and affixes it to his face. He’s not an idiot. He knows that something has happened. There is no universe where the crown prince visits their manor and nothing happens. 
If they had more servants, maybe someone would spot him perched up on the roof of the manor, but most of them have left, and the ones that are left don’t like to concern themselves with Hua Cheng’s whereabouts. Besides, some of them actually like him. 
(Like would be an exaggeration. Hua Cheng has one attendant who is brave enough to withstand his presence, and even he seems vaguely uncomfortable at all times.)
Something shifts beneath him, and Hua Cheng presses down to the ground. The house is bustling in a way it hasn’t in many years, and it’s this which startles him out of his quiet contemplation. He slips back into his room, skin electrified with nerves in a way it hasn’t been in forever. Something about the house feels radically alive, like the way it had been when he was too young to be hit or sent to fend for himself. Noise seeps in through the walls, and Hua Cheng shakes a little at the enormity of it, trembling on a precipice of the most dangerous feeling there is—hope.

hihi I'm back, i was rambling about solomon and immortality the other time
BUT i just got a tiktok, and apparently there's a trend with the song that goes "nothing's new" and the first slide is a tweet saying "who had every right to become a villain?" And the second slide is a character
anyway my first thought was MC because they literally get dumped into a new world, whole life turned upside down and expected to adapt, in both OG and NB. Nightbringer i'd say is different since they have a goal they're working towards and at least they have Solomon
But in OG it's like "try to survive :)", you're looked down upon as a human, you're kept in the dark about the attic, there's so many little things that add up-
But in the end MC chooses kindness, chooses to keep going and make it work, and yes there's the chaotic options but no harm is done without cause I guess you could say?? They're not afraid to stand up for themselves and they're stubborn, but they won't sink down to the lowest of the lows after everything they've gone through
I dunno if i made any sense, I just needed to ramble and share with someone ���� thank you for being a welcoming blog
- ✨
Welcome back to my ask box! I will add ✨ to the anon list!
And of course I love all the ramblings, so know you're always welcome to come here to share your thoughts!
Now I gotta say the generic OM MC is one unhinged mf and I don't understand how they stay so chill and happy all the time. Like I would argue their ability to put up with so much crazy is what makes them unhinged rather than the chaotic options that are sometimes given for them. That stuff feels like a normal reaction considering everything they go through. Like the time they threatened to explode Mammon's door? Yeah, that feels like something someone who has been pushed beyond their limits might do.
And yet so often, the choices are nice. So often the choices are MC giving and giving and giving. They care so much and are willing to go through so much and do so much in order to keep their demons safe. And MC is the human in this scenario. I know, MC is OP with their pacts and their sorcerer stuff and their Ring of Light, but you would still expect the demons to take better care of them. And I mean more their mental state than anything. But the game kinda just takes for granted the fact that MC can take all the crazy in stride. I'm pretty sure I would have had a mental breakdown after the first week lol.
All that being said, I love the idea of MC turning into a villain. This is where you really can get into different story lines and outcomes based on your personal MC. Because I think it would be very easy for an MC to turn villainous in this situation. It depends on how conniving your MC is as to how this goes down.
Like do they deliberately wait to betray everybody until they've secured all seven pacts and the Ring of Light and so on?
Or is it more like one day they just snap and they never meant to turn?
In the first scenario, the question is what is their goal? Why would they do that to begin with? Maybe they want to rule the Devildom themselves and the goal is to have all the bros under their spell for the sole purpose of like dethroning Diavolo or something. I mean, good luck with that lol but it'd sure be interesting.
In the second scenario, it's definitely more chaotic and just MC loses their mind. Maybe starts destroying things Satan-style because they can't control it anymore.
I think it's a fascinating idea. And you could go with MC succeeds or you could go with someone (whoever MC is closest to perhaps) is able to talk them down from destruction.
But yes, in the end our OM MC always chooses kindness. Even when they're not going to take any nonsense, they're always solution oriented. They're always about helping the characters and I would say they're almost stubborn in their kindness too? Like they're determined not to be anything other than kind because to them, that's the right thing to do. It's precious.

@a-mag-a-day
Before I get into the relisten: hot jon rights.
This is going to be another stream of consciousness ramble. Maybe I'll say something good, maybe I won't.
(The official transcript.)
CW for a little bit of paranoia inducing rambling about Alternates from TMC.
BREEKON That's right. Just wanted… to… to drop off a package.
The way Breekon speaks, all broken up. It's just so sad :(
BREEKON Dunno. ‘s not right on my own. Not right. No point in doing it on my own. Dunno what happens now. Thought I might kill you. Missed my chance. Thought I might just deliver something. So, here’s a coffin. In case you want… to join your friend.
It's sad about Breekon hours :( How are you supposed to mourn for a part of yourself? How are you supposed to heal when you're literally incomplete.
BREEKON Make me. [A whooshing noise starts to rise with Breekon’s words, but immediately ceases when the Archivist speaks] ARCHIVIST Stop. [Heavy static rises] BREEKON What’re you doing? BASIRA Jon, what are you doing? BREEKON What’re you— Stop it. Stop it! ARCHIVIST No. [Breekon winces in pain] BREEKON Enough! Stop looking at me! [Breekon lets out a final cry and flees, a door is hear distantly. Static diminishes]
HOT JON RIGHTS!!!! I love this part it's so cool!!! He's so cool.
We started in a plague. Not like the nasty crawlers, but like bringing any other doom.
Fun fact about me, when I learned about the bubonic plague in primary school I was terrified. Not really of getting sick, though I think it was part of it, but of a red cross painted on a door, a mark of death. I was scared of the certainty that if I was infected, I would die. And no one would try to help, for fear of their own demise.
Not really relevant, but there it is.
Two strangers rolling towards them, unstoppable and uncertain, wearing faces they would only half remember, bringing a fate they would beg their god to forget. They could not hate us any more than they might have hated the rock that falls on them from a crumbling cliff. They did not know us, but they knew what we might do to them, what we might bring them.
This! This is the fear of The Stranger that actually gets me. Not the clowns or the mannequins or whatever, I'm not actually that freaked out by those, and I have yet to find art of Nikola that would actually freak me out or scare me. It's this kind of stuff and the Strangers from WTNV. Standing, staring, they could be right behind you, they're not doing anything but they might, they might at any moment attack. They're unfamiliar and strange and you have to be on your guard because you don't know what to expect, but they don't do anything, they just wait, as your dread grows ever higher.
Horror like that makes me very paranoid. I have a page in my notebook of trying to convince myself that the Alternates from The Mandela Catalogue weren't real, and what I was most freaked out about with them was that they could be anywhere. They could be posing as your friends, they could be in the corner of your room, they could be a puppet show on TV, they could be right behind you.
Don't turn around.
He squeezed its first owner until they stopped, and dumped them in a river, and I stayed with the second until they didn’t know who they were any more than they knew what they were.
The Stranger is weird. <3
The winter in Russia was cold, and in the icy air the absence of our breath was clear for all to see.
I like imagining that, something subtly wrong, you don't even notice it until you do, and when you do, you can't stop noticing it.
I have never known hate before. I have never known loss. But now they are with me always, and I desire nothing but to share them with you.
Don't know what to say to this. Just... :(
BASIRA And don’t open the coffin. ARCHIVIST It is addressed to me… … Yes, alright. You’re right.
I like his sense of humour. It's similar to mine sometimes.
Anyway! This is over! I only said a couple things of worth, but I hope you enjoyed the look into my mind regardless!

Dancing prompts
“I can feel your heartbeat.”
Tommy x Barney
sorry for this was so late!! fic exchange, and writers block, and yk the drill lol // so sorry if this is ooc or not their dynamic?? idk running off the very little information i know abt them lol || the prompt list
Tommy had never hated a woman more than he hated Medda at that moment. Although, she was not the only one to blame for this situation. There was also David, who had off-handedly mentioned his upcoming school prom. And then there was Jack, and Racetrack, and Crutchie who thought a dance for all the newsboys would be a great idea. After all, most of the New York newsboys would never experience a prom. But hey, they were kids too! They deserved the experience just as much as an educated kid!
The plans looked dreary though. Very few of the boys knew how to dance and there really wasn't a place that would allow hundreds of newsboys in until the late hours of the night. Until, Jack had the bright idea of asking Medda. Who, of course, was overjoyed by the proposition. She quickly offered to let them use the theatre (with her there, along with the governor and Denton) and then, to top it off, suggested a dance class.
Tommy's belief in a god died the moment he heard the announcement. A couple of the boys, including himself, liked to listen in on the borough meetings. And when Jack dropped that bomb on them (and everyone was excited) he had given up all hope of a higher power. Kill me now.
"And, listen, boys. Ya don't have to came if ya don't wan-ta. Ain't no-one gonna force ya to dress up and come tap shoes with the rest of us." Jack reassured. Maybe there is a god.
David cleared his throat. "Except for all of us Manhattan boys, of course. We're hosting, so we'll all be there."
They continued to ramble on. Something, something, dance lessons, something, something, anyone you want to bring. It was all non-sense to Tommy, including the original idea. He had really hoped a nasty cough might make its way into his throat right before the dance.
And it never did. So Tommy sat there in Medda's theatre, all dolled up and grumpy. His arms crossed and his watched as the condensation from his cup stained the wooden tables. Then, he felt a tap on his shoulder. "What?" He snapped, turned around all angry. Until he saw Barney, eyes wide and hands bouncing at his side excitedly. "Hey, Peanut."
"Tommyboy!" Barney took the greeting as an invitation to sit beside him. "I guess you're not a big fan of dancing, huh?"
Tommy shrugged. "I dunno. I just get embarrassed. I got two left feet."
Barney smiled. "Well, I was thinkin'- and it's kinda dumb but uh. Maybe we could dance?" His fingers rubbed together nervously, excitedly. "Everyone's all infatuated with their partners, anyway. No-one will see you. I heard dancin's less embarrassing with a friend."
"Uh... yeah, sounds... fun." Tommy said. He hesitantly stood up and let himself get drug to the stage by Barney.
Upbeat songs played loudly. Barney bounced around in circles, his hands thrown into the air. Every so often he would force Tommy to spin, then he would spin himself. Other than the obligatory spins, Tommy mostly swayed side to side. Too infatuated with Barney to really do anything else.
Until a slow song started playing. The big groups of people shoving each other around and laughing slowly began to disperse. Tommy froze and watched as other began to pair up. Jack's head immediately spun, and he was pulled towards David like a magnet. Hotshot's hands found their way to Ike's hips, a grin fighting to stay off his face. Even Albert had shyly found Finch, and he hid his face in the boy's shirt as Finch grinned.
When he turned back to Barney, he noticed that the boy in front of him had frozen too. But he was looking up at Tommy and his hands were twitching at his side. Hesitantly, slowly, he trailed his fingers up and around Tommy's neck. "Um, if you-"
Tommy shook his head no and, equally as hesitantly, pulled Barney closer to him. The two swayed to the music, took steps like Medda had taught them to. Barney laughed into the boys chest. "I can feel your heartbeat."
"Really? Honestly, I thought I had died 'n went to heaven or somethin'."

NeyMessi drabble / Crazy About You
Whoa! I wrote a NeyMessi drabble, my first one on them. I dunno what has gotten into me but I hope y'all will enjoy it besties 🥰🥰
**********************************
Leo was sitting on the soft carpet of grass, staring at the empty gallery of the Parc de Princes.
The training session had just ended. Most of his teammates had retreated back to the warmth of the dressing room, but Leo loved the feeling of the winter sun on his skin. It felt like a warm blanket shielding him from the harsh winter of Paris.
Someone plopped down heavily next to him, and the next thing he felt was the tickle of rough, curly hair against his cheek.
"Mano, why so serious?"
It was Neymar.
Leo could feel him giggling against his skin.
"Not thinking about leaving us, are you?" Ney rasped. Sounded like he had a mild cold.
Leo slowly exhaled, and turned his head to look at the younger Brazilian. He was not so young anymore, his face fuller, his beard wiry, but the twinkle in his eyes had remained the same over the years!
Right now, those eyes were curiously staring at Leo, trying to read his expression.
"What's your plan?" Leo asked softly.
"Taking a shower, going home, playing poker in the evening..." Ney snuggled closer to him, as if there was any space left between them to fill anyway.
"No, Tonto, about staying in the club", Leo slapped his head lightly.
Ney looked up, his gold and green eyes had a melancholy tinge.
"They'll try to offload me, those hijos de puta" Leo frowned, but Ney seemed to not notice as he rambled on "but my contract is bullet proof so I'm gonna stay as long as..."
Ney abruptly stopped himself and stared ahead thoughtfully.
"What? As long as what?" Leo felt a strange flutter in his heart when Ney's gaze pierced him with a meaningful look.
"You're staying Mano, aren't you?" Ney leaned closer to him and whispered into Leo's ear, raising goosebumps all over his neck!
Leo felt his heart beating, even after all these years he was still dumbfounded by Ney's brazen behavior and shameless touching.
"Si", Leo managed to croak.
"Bueno!" Ney murmured, "Then I'm staying as long as you're there, mi amor."
Leo stopped breathing for a second.
Can this boy stop being so goddamn flirty all the time!
Before he could say anything, Ney licked a little kiss on his neck and quickly pulled back.
He flashed a blinding, brilliant smile at Leo, but there was something more in his eyes than mirth and mischief...
"You coming to Marqui's party tonight?" Ney asked casually, his thumb gently brushing something invisible off Leo's cheek.
Leo was sure he's blushing, but he managed to uttar an "yes" in a small voice, desperately praying for his heart to slow down.
"Fantastico! I'm gonna get you drunk..." Ney rolled his eyes.
"And take advantage of me, pillo?", Leo winked.
Ney smirked, tracing his fingers over Leo's leg.
"You're funny, old man", Ney bit his lower lip, " Bet I can make you *** when you're in your full senses", he whispered filthy.
Leo's jaw dropped! He looked at Ney with wide eyes.
"What's gotten into you, you little devil?" Leo huffed.
Ney abruptly jumped to his feet and brushed off his shorts, his lean, perfectly tanned legs gleaming in the sunlight. He hunched till his eyes were level with Leo.
Smack!
Ney pressed a quick kiss, full on Leo's lips, and rasped...
"You. You've got into me."
Then he sprinted away, leaving a flustered Leo behind.
***************************************
Should I write about what happens in Marquinho's party next 😚😚? Lemme know. Love y'all ❤

Hmmmm Psu been wondering ever since I decided to kinda follow in your ideas of doing stuff kinda nsfw-ish. How do you managed to like walk that tighrope? Like your spicy art is spicy but it never really feels like it cross the line to like full on hmmm hard time to come with the words cuz I mean like there are sexual themes and your drawings are sexy as all hell but it never feels completely crass I think its the right word... I dunno... One of my faves is your lastest one of Ivy and Bat girl.
It's pretty complicated! I don't have any one right answer that fits for everyone. But I will also admit privately, that I have art that I do for fun that definitely crosses a line though I reserve sharing that only with a few folks or some friends. Mostly it's just... in general when in a big open public space I wanna treat people nicely? Does that make sense? My guidepost has been to treat the internet and galleries like they're public spaces and the nice thing to do is to give fair warning or save more hard nsfw stuff to be put behind a few walls. Not necessarily pay walls, just harder hoops to get through.
I generally keep in mind whether or not if I'm hurting anyone's feelings, even accidentally. And I selectively self censor, or put things where they're harder to reach. It's just my own way.
And well... sometimes being more clever or finding ways to tease people without being overtly sexual can lead to more interesting pictures! I think there are PLENTY of people who can draw intense sexual things, but like... it can also be fun to find ways to be more playful. Coy. Or just cute while being sexy too.
Anyway, that's just me rambling. There's no hard rules to any of it, I guess you just sorta... "know" what's too far for you and knowing how to get back to the point where you're playful and teasing can still lead to great drawings.

Hii, I want to make if game but I'm kinda slow writer. Also I have never written so many words like other authors and it's a bit paralyzing. Do you have any advice how to deal with it?
anon i am so sorry this is 100% just rambling. the TLDR; my advice to you is this: comparison is the thief of joy. i know it's hard not to compare yourself to others, it's a super natural instinct for most of us, but seriously, as long as you're doing the best that you can, it doesn't matter how much or how little everyone else is doing. try changing your scenery! write in a different location! write using different materials! don't even bother with proper grammar and punctuation or whether things sound good or make sense for your rough draft. just write. Don't go back and fix things. and it might suck and you might just end up having to rewrite the entire thing in the end but at least now you know what not to do! and i am wishing you the absolute best in all your if writing endeavours <3
i'm fr just a guy so i'm so sorry if this advice is shit. i'm not a professional. idk if you came to me just because you saw the "slow writer" in the intro post and you saw a kindred spirit, but just in case you are not aware.... i am such a slow writer and i'll be so honest when i started tgp by far the longest thing i'd written was 11k words and it took like... 10 months to finish. usually the stuff i wrote was 500 words in Total and i was also the type of fanfic writer on wattpad who'd post three chapters and then never touch the book ever again
so, not a great foundation for a game that requires this level of commitment, and i knew that!! but i dunno i was so excited about the idea and the characters and i felt like i needed to share it with the world so i just went fuck it and started. when i first got that intro post up i had nothing but a handful of characters, a vague idea and a dream.......
basically what i'm trying to say is. I get it.
and my advice to you is: just do it LOL just write your if game!!!
it will be scary and impostor syndrome is SUCH A BITCH. you will encounter authors who will write like 100k words in the time it takes you to write 5k and THAT IS OKAY. I FEEL THIS EVERY DAY. BUT YOUR WORTH IS NOT BASED ON HOW MANY WORDS YOU CAN WRITE IN AN HOUR, SO TRY YOUR BEST NOT TO BE TOO HARSH ON YOURSELF. COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY. if your best one day is 15 words and they aren't even good words? that's fine. at least you're getting something down. you are doing the best you can in that moment, and that's what's most important!!!
ALSO WRITE WHAT YOU WANT TO WRITE. you cannot appeal to everyone. there will be people who simply will not enjoy your game and you know.. we ball anyway because there will also be people who LOVE YOUR GAME JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO, IF NOT MORE. i find that a lot of the time i'm stuck because i'm so worried about catering to my audience, and while it's okay to be conscious of these things, don't let it paralyze you. do not make your story about a bunch of bullshit you don't care about just because it's popular or something or you will just Never progress because you don't care about writing it. those days i shit out 1k (WHICH IS A LOT FOR ME IN ONE DAY) are because i'm like JUMPING OFF THE WALLS EXCITED ABOUT WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT. WHO CARES IF WHAT YOU WANT TO WRITE ABOUT IS CRINGE (cringe culture is dead anyway) OR SUPER NICHE OR WON'T GET YOU A MILLION FOLLOWERS IMMEDIATELY. i mean don't get me wrong validation feels so good i'm a bit of an attention whore myself but also you deserve to create things that make you feel good, and this is what sustains a long-term project. You know? You feel me? You pickin up what i'm putting down? plus there will always be other people who vibe with your story, no matter how much you think you're the only one it appeals to.
but just in case you aren't just here for incoherent moral support, i would highly recommend straying away from plain old google docs or whatever it is that you usually use to write and trying new things! pen and paper??? pen and Cardboard box (this one works really well for me for my art block for some reason LMAO)??? write while sitting on the stairs instead of at your desk??? stimuwrite 2.0 (i cannot recommend this enough the bubble wrap sounds are sooo good)???
also. remember that rough drafts are just that: Rough Drafts. just write!!! maybe it'll turn out great, but maybe it'll be complete shit. maybe it'll make you want to throw up just reading it back. DON'T DELETE IT AND WORRY ABOUT HOW TO MAKE IT SOUND BETTER. I DONT CARE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY USED THE WORD "JUST" 3 TIMES IN 1 SENTENCE. AS LONG AS YOU GOT THE MESSAGE ACROSS ENOUGH FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
ok sorry i am mildly sleep deprived at the time of writing this i'm so sorry if i literally just didn't answer any kf your questions at any point in here. i have no idea what i'm doing i just roll with the punches!!!!!!

how did you get your au to be so popular
i wish to follow in thine footsteps of getting lots of questiond (i have crippling asd and beg to be given permission to infodump)
lol but like seriously, how long'd it take for you and also you got any tips? kay thats really it haha thanks 🙏 😭
oh mannn i dunnoooooooo. this aint my first au and tbh part of the success just comes from the fact that tmnt is like. a really big fandom, cause of all the iterations and how old the story is. i had a few similarly abuse-focused AU's for the owl house, and then i was obsessed with sun wukong & jttw for a solid few months there. (sorry, rambling, to get back on track-)
its not like i TRIED to be popular (feels like a weird thing to call myself. popular?? lmao i have like 5 friends) i just didnt avoid it either by like, idk, not tagging or w/e. I mean you basically just have to make stuff and keep making stuff forever. people will find it eventually, even if its only a couple of them who really engage in it.
AND CONSUME ART!! not just fandom stuff i mean whatever floats your boat, books (audiobooks in my case) movies comics- that's important to!! take note of everything you like in stories, write it down if you wanna. oh yeah and be pretentious (by which i mean, read symbolism into everything that you want to)
What I'm doing on this blog is basically what I was doing my entire life anyway, (drawing, making up stories, doing character design shit) except now i have people interested in it.
i really wasnt confident enough to do fandom stuff until like, first year of college tbh. at that point the owl house was like the main thing i relied on for any sense of relief cause my life was BAD bad haha.
OH ALSO I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE MISSING HERE:
(i have crippling asd and beg to be given permission to infodump)
I've got this BAD IRL, but the thing i remind myself is that this is MY BLOG and if someone doesn't wanna hear my rambling they can LEAVE. ALWAYS INFODUMP. ALWAYS RAMBLE. if attention is what you want then I'd suggest just genuinely talking about what you're passionate about, and if no one is asking you then ask yourself!
like, make a post that starts with "hey do u guys wanna hear about how much of a mess my three headed character is?? no?? TOO BAD HERE wE GO!!"
i really don't have a ton of advice hahhh this is all very ramble-y and im basically just telling you what I do. most of all I think it's important to like, not TRY to be popular tbh. don't try to be popular, try to make what you like the most and what you'd wanna see other people make- and that stuff will draw in the kind of people whose attention matters the most.
which is easier said than done i guess if you crave attention but its sooo much better than worrying about followers or something i promise.
like, if I wanted to be popular I wouldn't have advised myself to talk about incest and sa and all the shit that I do. but i dont wanna be popular, I wanna get the attention of people who ALSO like those stories and i want to explore themes of abuse that those people ALSO want to explore.
LONG STORY SHORT: I DUNNO MAN.

Digimon Forntier episoe thouhts (I'm not changing those typos lol) probably the penultimate infodump
39 - Is This the Digital World?! Escape from the Moon! -I actually understood the title in Japanese yay (spoken, I didn't recognise one kanji boo lol) -THEY. WENT. TO. THE MOON. Fortunately it's a Digital World moon so it's not completely devoid of heat or air haha. -I was hoping we'd get more Koichi solo time since he was the only one awake at first. -I love Takuya's plan of making everybody fire off their attacks and his idea was just.. oh maybe it would propel us lol omg -THERE ARE BURGERS ON THE MOON OH MY FRIGGIN GOD turns out Burgamon COME FROM the moon like omg they're little burger aliens I love them so much -The Insekimon watching Chakmon struggle to fling himself back to Digi-Earth, too, haha. Yeah let's grab a burger and some shakes. This episode had some much needed chuckles and lightheartedness. -Honestly rocketship scenes are always weirdly nervous to me. My imagination just gets carried away… space is just so big and empty, and you're just. a little meat monkey. I'd be a crap astronaut lol -By the end of the epsiode damn near most of the world is just GONE like what the hell man. Also the Royal Knights wanna go to the human world to RULE it, hmm? I dunno dudes. I feeel like once Lucemon has the Digital World sorted he's the type to go to other worlds and make them his, haha. -I'm only watching like one episode a day at this point. Honestly at this point the show is emotionally exhausting (not in a "it's boring/sucky so I'm tired" way, in a "holy shit much fucked up shit is going on" way haha)
40 - The Chosen Ones!? The Boys Who Control Angemon! -Takeru cameo?!?! haha -New city!! Feels like it's been ages since the gang just went somewhere new haha. Only to be immedaitely accosted by a mugger, BOO -I never realised Sagittarimon has Fladramon and Lighdramon armour. I've never really look too closely at his design though. -HUMANS. HUMAN CHILDREN?!?! So others really did get on the Trailmon back then. -Two are Tomoki's bullies. D: GET 'EM WITH BLIZZARMON BOYO. -I like the touch of Patamon thinking Angemon is cool. I see what you're doing there buddy hehee -Nice to know Angemon was there to actually look after kids once they got to the human world. I guess kids who got on other trains were just screwed though lol -What is WITH these kids though. So arrogant when all they do is hide behind Angemon's back -WAIT WHAT SIX MONTHS?! Six months in the Digital World?! This is the first time we've had a timeframe for how long the kids have been here. Jeeeeez. I mean I imagine thre's still the time difference between this vs the human world. Or maybe there isn't haha (would make for an interesting twist for time to go SLOWER in the Digital World… imagine being gone for six months and you return to the human world and twenty years have gone by or something…. I guess that's kinda just Flight of the Navigator) -ANYWAY I'M RAMBLING. It was cool to see Tomoki's growth culminate in this episode. -bruh the close up shot of Sagittarimon during the big fight and there's just Centarumon falling in the background lol so good -episode ends with the kids split up!! just like the good old days, haha
41 - Don't Let Them Scan! The Beanstalk of Friendship -Gotta say, beanstalks are kind of a downgrade from Crests lol -The Trailmon all show up! But they don't wanna go to the village. Typical trains. -Izumi flirts with Worm… AND IT WORKS?! Bruh trains are weird lol -Mamemon village!! I mean it makes sense. I used to love Mamemon back when I played Digimon World. I love the elder one with the metal plates for eyebrows haha. -Okay I give props to… uh, what's his face, that one bully kid whose name I don't recall (lol) for facing up to the Royal Knights. That's gutsy. -Interesting that the beanstalk protects the data in the area. Wonder if this is gonna tie into the defence against Lucemon or if it's just a one off kinda thing. -The kids try to fix the broken rail, trapping Worm in place. How existentially horrifying it must be to be a train. -"Can humans save the world?" "Only if we work together with Digimon!" yay how it should be otherwise there are unfortunate implications haha -I actually love how the Royal Knights are legit a huge threat?? Especially since this is the run up to the ending. Compare to Grottomon who was the first recurring villain and it's just such a nice way of showing the huge power difference and the level of threat. -That being said can't wait to see them get their faces punched in.
42 - Protect the DigiEggs! The Vanishing Miracle of Life -OMG BABIES BABIES BABIES!!!! -gah I love Swanmon she's so cool! -Don't have to much to say about this ep it was very cute and the digi babies melted my brain AND THEN the amazing moment with babies bubbling the wyvern and the old warriors coming back AAAH. Good stuff good stuff. Just an all round great episode. -Dynasmon just being like "Not leaving empty handed!!" and stealing the literal baby village away though like JUST DIE ALREADY I HATE YOU lol
43 - The Hometown is Destroyed! The Messenger From Hell, SkullSatamon -this episode follows the general formula of recent eps so not much specific to say, but it as nice we got SkullSatamon instead of the Royal Knights so the fight didn't feel as inevitably futile -also SKULLSATAMON WHAT THE HELL dude deep fries some Palmon then just straight up STEPS on Gazimon wtf that's just cruel dude -I liked that the Digimon this ep specifically were like "oh the legendary warriors will do it for us!" then learned to stand up for themselves -the way LordKnightmon swoops in at the end though when the SkullSatamon are defeated and takes the data lol very supervisor/manager behaviour "thanks for the hard work bro yoink" -the ending scene of the sunset and the Digimon being proud of themselves for fighting even though they lost their town and the kids smiling but like the evil sinister music was nicely done; the looming threat just can't be ignored even for a moment -HOW MUCH OF THE DIGITAL WORLD IS LEFT!!
44 - Fight With Me! Gotsumon and Koji's Vow -OMG Gotsumon's back?!?!?! -There's a nice opening scene that pans across an environment where Dynasmon and LordKnightmon steal the data and I just feel like these animation studios could make a bundle if they just made posters/prints/wall scrolls/whatever else of their anime backgrounds because some of them are so friggin gorgeous… especially early 2000s and earlier stuff where it was hand drawn and painted, mmm. -Okay so after I ask how much of the digital world is left, I get my answer: three areas. Ouch. lol good luck kids -Gotsumon fainting at the sight of his vanished homeland is probably the most realistic reaction in an anime ever haha -LordKnightmon unsurprisingly like a real lord dngaf when his underlings fall to their deaths. -There was a line in this episode where Bokomon says (in the subs) "I know the pain of losing your homeland" but I initially misread "homeland" as "husband" lol when did THAT happen?!?! did I miss some episodes?! hahaha -Garmon riding the railway tracks was cool! I wish we got to see that more often -Sorcerymon ;( -OH MY GOOOOOD Gotsumon EVOLVED!! INTO. INESKIMON. omg that was so funny. What's normally this moment of "fighting for my friends, more power to protect" and he just… gets a bit bigger and gets a palette swap lol omg I love this dude -also not a thought I had specific to this episode but I 110% bet people ship Dynasmon and LordKnightmon all the time rofl
45 - Operation Data Disorder! Defend Akiba Market -Open on Sepikmon's boomerang =O He's helping his buddies! -When the Digimon are lining up to evacuate on the Trailmon, there's a Veemon, Hawkmon and Armadimon really close together! -Neemon is a pretty good conductor haha most alert the dude's been all season -It's nice seeing everybody being more proactive!! …unfortunately it will be all for nought no doubt. Love the use of the catapult though. Just because something doesn't do direct damage doesn't mean it doesn't help! -Zanbamon! I know you from DW3! Also Pteranomon is cool, continues Digimon's thing of "what if it were a dino/dragon and also a form of transportation/robot" haha. -Aaah that moment when Dyansmon has KaiserGreymon against the tower and KaiserGreymon's just like "my element's FIRE DUMMY" YEAH GET HIS ASS TAKUYA -wat. IS KOICHI DEAD?! NO BODY ONLY SOUL?! -Dynasmon calls out for help from LordKnightmon after KaiserGreymon pins him. LordKnightmon immediately goes to help. Yeah people definitely ship these two all the time lol -Takuya and Koji are visibly doing better fighting against the Royal Knights. Unfortunately I reckon next episode, the Knights will still get the area's data. And Lucemon will awaken and promptly kill them like they deserve lol

Greetings!! Might I request an Identity V matchup?? Forgive me if I don’t provide enough or too much information this is my second time doing one of these.
I don’t really have a preference gender wise or faction wise. I’m the kind of person who’s most interested in someone who tends to share similarities with me whether that be interests, personality or similar life experiences.
A majority of the time, I’m on the quiet side. I’m not one for talk as I struggle to piece together a sentence I’m proud with or generally lack anything to say. However, I’m a rambling machine if one wishes (or accidentally) brings up anything I’m interested in. Any discussions on art or bugs and I’ll be happy to tell what I like and know. (or show any drawings I’ve made) Even music would be a pleasure to talk about (or hear) despite my lack of knowledge.
If I had to list some negative traits I’d probably say I’m prone to shutdowns even if the cause if something small like a loud noise or peer pressure.
I’d just be happy if one could understand my struggles, give me time and some comfort so I know that they truly care.

Tumblr media
Two introverts who just ask for understanding.
You're both sort of quiet. Not exactly.. Anti social? But just sort of... Minding your own business. Not much to say in the middle of a conversation. To be honest he's pretty similar. If he does speak up, it's usually shot back at him by Freddy or someone. He's-.. Not the best with talking. So he sort of keeps quiet. Not that he ever has anything important to say. Unless it's something grim.
Funnily enough, I see him as quite artistic in his own sense. Embalming is the art of preservation, albeit it's very.. Non traditional?
He probably didn't mean to get you started on bugs. He probably just said something and you just-. Started. And you didn't show any sign of stopping anytime soon
But, this isn't.. Exactly what you expected from the other. He sat there and just listened to you. Perfectly silent, but staring. His eyes fixated on you and his neutral expression a little difficult to read because of the mask but-. You were pretty sure he was listening anyways.
After you gave a small apology for rambling a bit, he probably finally realised he was staring and didn't know whether to look away or commit to the bit-. He ended up looking away and muttering out his own apology of some kind. For what? Dunno.
And similarly, when he gets started on death... He's pretty surprised when you were listening to him too. Most people are.. Creeped out, disgusted or frankly disturbed. He usually doesn't like the living because of how loud they are, they're so critical. The dead never judge.. You don't.
It was like breathing fresh air after being smothered in smog for so long...
After realising that you two are little more... Alike than he originally thought, he makes efforts to be around you. Albeit- it's a little stiff and awkward. He's not the best. But uh... So... You must like art considering you draw a bit.
Oh-. You're off again.
For some reason.. Gosh he just loves hearing the way you talk. Which is.
Very weird for him.
And.. Wow. You draw really.. Really good.
He can't draw. He's not.. Really good at anything? Other than embalming people.. And taking care of yellow roses.
... Did you wanna hear about yellow roses?
And- now he's off.
Aesop is pretty picky about music. Too loud can hurt his ears. But.. He's willing to hear what you've got. If it's overwhelming, he probably wouldn't say anything but, if you're similar to him. Maybe he likes the same music type as him?
And don't worry, he's jumpy when it comes to loudness too. He much rathers the quiet. So, if you were to shut down? He's either
A) shut down besides you
B) knowingly guiding you out of it because he's very, very similar.
To be entirely honest, I imagine he'd also need space. Other people, no matter how special they are to him, are overwhelming. So... The fact you two can both take time from each other and not be affected? Kind of perfect.

No literally, your tags are so right. Rory’s love for Jess is on such a different level in my opinion and I don’t mean this in a condescending way towards the other two (as much as I might dislike them, it’s not the point I’m trying to make) but their entire course and journey sets them apart for me. Like there are so many aspects of them that aren’t like Rogan or Rory and Dean that makes Literati stand out all the more, if that makes sense. Such as the fact that Rory never outright said ‘I love you’ to Jess, unlike when she blurted it out to Dean or told Logan she loved him or just the simple fact that Dean and Logan got multiple chances while Jess didn’t. There’s something so quietly significant about that to me, for some reason that I can’t put into words. Like I’m not seeing it as Rory loving him less than the others but in a way I can’t quite explain yet, it almost makes me feel like she possibly loved him the most. And it scared her. Especially taking into account s4 (peak literati angst ofc), she could care and love him all she wanted but the fact was that he wasn’t reliable, unpredictable, full of constant “changes” which was no longer something Rory wanted. But something always lingered there for her with him, no matter how many years passed. And well, ofc I don’t find this good that she did but I almost forgot to acknowledge that Jess was also the ONLY boyfriend she never cheated on. It’s just another interesting little detail to add to whatever rambling this is, I dunno what this even is but it’s been in my head for days. And I still don’t think I organized it or worded it correctly but just thought I’d leave it here b/c why not? I love hearing your thoughts anyway!
NO YEAH YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!! I've been trying to put this idea into words for awhile now. Rory and Jess's love was just different. Like you said, he was the only one she never cheated on (also the only one she cheated with in the original series), and he was the only one she didn't give a second chance. My thoughts are like yours, like it scared her to risk getting hurt like that again. Because Jess leaving seemed to hurt worse than any breakup with Dean or Logan. She could take getting hurt by Dean or Logan again, but getting hurt by Jess would destroy her. And she needed a stability that season 4 Jess couldn't provide, and by the time he was stable and secure enough for them to be able to work things out, she was with Logan. So despite her obviously still caring about him (because hey, she went to Philadelphia, she read The Subject, she kissed him back!) she couldn't do anything with the feelings she had for him in that moment. Then in AYITL, she relies on Jess for help and he gives her encouragement and despite it being years later, they still have a relationship that's unique to them and different than the relationships she has with Dean or Logan or even Paul at that point.
Rory's love for Jess was just... totally unlike the love she had for anyone else, and I think that's why they always come back to each other.
