#his girlfriend on the other hand-

[chloebourgeoisofficial]

Curious

Do you see Adrian in more romantic way or sibling way?

I'd say he's more like a brother I never had.

But, I will say we definitely had something to talk about, us realizing how shitty our parents were recently.

Yk actually I think we as a fandom need to stop separating things by “canon” vs “fanon” and instead describe it more like … dark . Vs not dark. Or smth of similar nature. Cuz some of the “canon” stuff is cool, made for horror purposes, super interesting and I enjoy it a lot, but it is simply not canon and that’s ok !!!!!! (I don’t actually think anyone needs to stop doing anything it’s not that deep)

#example being like.. some people interpret Toby chewing his hands as him being a cannibal which is a super cool interpretation and I like i #but I see someone people take it as ‘oh this is a DEEPER analysis of his character therefore CANON’ #but that’s only because it’s an even darker take on something #and darker in this fandom is automatically associated with canon and ‘more realistic’ #but Toby used to be a canonically goofy ass teenager with a girlfriend he loved very deeply #yk what I mean ? #regardless I love all the work in this fandom dark or not !!!!!!! I just get bothered by ppl having like a complex abt canon vs not canon #chatterbox #love u guys #sory I keep harping on about this it just like LMFAO IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN #IT DEEPLY IRKS ME WHEN PPL HAVE SUPERIORITY COMPLEXES AND BELITTLE OTHERS OVER SILLY ENJOYMENT #reminds me of cringe culture at its peak LOL #also let me further clarify that fanon stuff like twink Masky is bad . like objectively #not everything fanon is sunshine and rainbows #and there are many weird and gross aspects of fanon too

Do you think Ace would put photos of him holding Luffy like a lasso on his tinder profile

Yes. And I also think Ace would put photos of him doing the stupidest things on his Tinder profile. And also lots of nudes and gym bro style types of pictures. He's a fucking loser. I don't even like men and I don't even use Tinder but if I ever saw him there I would instantly think he's a fucking idiot. Which he is. Wouldn't date him even if I liked men (basing this on his Tinder profile only). He's obsessed with making thirst traps and looking hot and somehow it works for him because he has the biggest transmasc and older brother rizz ever. That doesn't make him any less of an idiot though.

#i think sabo would have the best tinder profile but he doesn't even need it anyway #but also i think sabo is too picky to be on tinder #like his first questions would be about politics #sabo on his first date: aw you look gorgeous. also. what are your views on slavery and do you think the monarchy should be abolished #but then again why would he need a tinder profile he already has a girlfriend thank you #ace on the other hand is just there to fuck people so #and he's extremely hot so he'd have the best time of his life there #that doesn't make him any less of a loser though #one piece #portgas d. ace #asl brothers

writing has been going at a snail's pace, but here's the intro to the first jacob pov scene in the werewolf au (he's sooooooo normal and not creepy at all <;3)

Jacob is running through the woods. 

His paws fly over the uneven terrain, pausing just long enough to sniff the air before taking off once again. Last night’s hunt had been an overwhelming success. After months of trying to pinpoint the exact location of the Hunter’s cabin, it was a fucking Sheriff’s Deputy that led the pack straight to him. The Hunter knew they were on his trail -- he’d been acting skittish, paranoid, doing a better job of covering his scent and tracks -- but the look of sheer surprise and terror in his eyes when Jacob had bust down the door to his cabin had been priceless.

In the end, Chad Wolanski bled and died just like anyone else. He was weak. Fragile. Human.

And he’d had his Betas leave a message for Eli, just to remind him that no matter how many silver bullets he and his crew may have -- no matter how much wolfsbane -- the second claws and teeth are close enough to rip into flesh and rend it from the bone, it’s over.

Of course, his own pack isn’t without weakness, and it’s weakness that he’s currently trying to root out. The junior-most member of the Hunt was an initiate, newly turned, and somewhere along the way, he failed the test. He lost himself to the bloodlust and went feral, the Wolf taking over and consuming his human mind. 

He was weak. He gave into the beast rather than controlling it. He’s now a threat to the Pack. They didn’t survive for as long as they have by allowing their failed recruits to run amok and terrorize the sleepy little backwater county. Humans may be slow, frail, and stupid, but an increase in violent animal attacks is something that they’d notice. And after this little display of showmanship, it’s best they lay low until the Blood Moon, when Joseph says that all their waiting and patience will finally be worth it.

So, in the meantime, it’s Jacob’s duty to find the whelp and put him down before he kills too many other people. 

He sent his Chosen out to scour the county in search of the Feral, while he, himself, has been combing the woods around St. Francis since dawn -- just in case the little pest comes back home, groveling and begging for mercy.

He stops for a moment as the wind changes directions. Sticking his nose into the air, he sniffs and catches a familiar scent. Not the one he’s looking for, but it gets his ears perking up, and his lips pulling tight as he bares his teeth. 

Deputy La Roux. 

He’s smelled her the few times he’d seen her around Falls End, but it was always muted and muddied by the stench of all the other humans around her. It was only last night that he got a good, unfiltered whiff, and once he made it past the thick blanket of tobacco, she was nothing short of delicious. His tongue lolls out his mouth at the memory of her pulse racing like a rabbit’s, all frightened and tender. It took every ounce of his willpower to not salivate at the sweet, [another adjective] that came through the small crack of her rolled down window. Every heartbeat made the vein in her neck throb, and were it not for the body of her truck serving as a barrier between them, the Wolf inside him would have made a compelling argument of sinking his teeth into her, just to get a taste. 

He wouldn’t have even killed her. He would have been content to lick at the sweat beading on her skin and her pulse jumping against his tongue; to hear the little gasps and moans she made as he pinned her down, asserting his dominance. There’s a sharpness to her, one that tells him she’d fight back -- claw and buck against him, snarling and gnashing her teeth -- and he’s curious as to what it would take to get her to submit. What would he have to do to get her rolling over onto her back, bearing the soft, fleshy parts of herself to him, and him only.

Then he had followed her to Eli’s hunting cabin where he smelled the sweet scent of her arousal, and he’d nearly lost control. He’s no stranger to the smell of sex. The Bitches at Joseph’s compound are kept well bred by their Mates. Establishing a strong bloodline, a pedigree, is important to Joseph and to the Project -- it’s their only way of being taken seriously as an actual Pack -- but Jacob never felt any kind of possessive draw towards any of them. They’re all taken, bonded, and mated. 

But her…

For the love of the Full Moon, he wants her so bad. The Wolf wanted nothing more than to charge into that cabin, rip Eli’s throat out, and make her his. Show her what a real hunter looks like. His own arousal got to the point where he had to satisfy his lust with blood instead, and had gone off to kill a moose on his own, all because he was so angry that he wasn’t the one making her cunt dip or pulling those cries of pleasure from her lips.

#i'm soooo on the fence about including the whole 'mates' trope because like...on one hand. i like it. it's a staple of werewolf romance #but on the other hand. the idea of jacob /convincing himself/ that syb is his mate because he's mad she's eli's girlfriend #is soooooooooo funny to me #but also. helps drive home the horror aspect of it all #it's not about love or soulmates...it's about /possession/. jakey wants something he can't have so he makes plans to get it #anyway. au where the cult is actually allowed to fuck due to pack politics lmao #wip wednesday

im a little bit tempted to watch the Elvis movies but there are. so many. and ive heard they are so. terrible. and he didn't fully enjoy making them, he just... had to do it... bc he felt like there wasn't much of an option... and worst of all they are all so painfully heterosexual and i'm sure none of the couples ever communicate with each other properly. so you just sit there ripping your hair out and shouting at the screen "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGG"

#but i want to get some inspiration... for my Driver/Officer K Greaser AUs... #the Elvis 2022 movie was so good even tho some things were incorrect #like. him breaking up with his first girlfriend Dixie when he became famous? that did NOT happen #Dixie broke up with HIM before he became famous because she wanted a husband who could work 9-5 and come home. #she didn't want to date somebody famous who was out doing gigs 24/7. #then when Elvis' mother passed away years later he called Dixie and she came to the funeral to support him #he wanted someone from his old life to comfort him. someone who knew him before he became a celeb. #FUNNER FACT the first time Elvis and Dixie were crushing on each other in school #Elvis was too shy to approach Dixie to ask her out so Dixie took matters into her own hands #standing in church and shouting to her friends loudly 'IM GOING TO THE SKATING RINK LATER!!!! BY MYSELF!!! CANT WAIT!!!' #'THE SKATING RINK!!! YOU KNOW THE ONE BY THE ICE CREAM SHOP DOWN THE ROAD!!! THAT SKATING RINK!!!' #'ILL BE THERE AT 4PM!!!!!!!!!' and elvis overheard and he was like oh shit #so sure enough Dixie shows up to the skating rink and Elvis already has his skates on #AND HE'S HUGGING THE WALL FOR DEAR LIFE. FIGHTING TO SURVIVE #and then she approached him and said uh hey do u wanna get outta here. and he was like GOD YES PLEASE #i think that story is so fucking cute #woof #oh here's another fun fact. when Dixie and Elvis were dating and Elvis was out on tours/gigs whatever #Elvis was the jealous one. Dixie did not care if women were gonna be all over him #Elvis was always asking her 'what boys are talking to you??? WHO'S LOOKING AT YOU. HM???' #and she's like 'bitch I am just going to school and church. you're the one surrounded by models' LMFAO

[ID: 3 square digital drawings. The first two are of the same young woman with light brown skin, scruffy bright blue hair, and glowing yellow eyes wearing a bright blue jumpsuit under dark blue and grey armor and a dark blue mask. In the first, she's clasping her hands to her chest, looking down and smiling serenely as she says "Toa Gali always says "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."" In the second, she's shouting and pointing angrily up and to the left, saying in all caps "BUT SHE'S NOT HERE AND YOU'RE A" with the rest of the word balloon covered by black scribbles with "censored for your protection" written overtop in the Matoran language. The third image is of a young man with light brown skin, green hair, and glowing yellow eyes wearing a light green jumpsuit under dark green armor and a dark green mask. He's got his head in his hands and is resting it on a table with a concerned/upset expression. Above him floats a translucent image of the Mask of Life from Bionicle. Black text above him in all caps reads "IT'S ME, BOY, I'M THE MASK OF LIFE SPEAKING TO YOU INSIDE YOUR BRAIN" End ID.]

there’s one version of an f/m/m triangle that crops up so often I’m surprised there isn’t at least a tvtropes/vernacular name for it. Miyokichi/Kiku/Shin. Molly/Fitz/Fool. Asuka/Shinji/Kaworu. Futaba/Taichi/Touma. not-really-but-you-could-shove-it-in-here Luthien/Beren/Finrod. Utena/Touga/Saionji is a twisted spun-on-its-head version of it. Specifically comprising:

masculine male character A: either is the protagonist or a character on to which male viewers can project.

female character B: a secondary character and A’s official love interest, often kept apart from A by story/circumstance/gender roles. Shows some resentment of the trials she’s put through by the story in being A’s lover such as being shoved to the side, cut out of his life, or put in danger.

less masculine male character C: another major character, A’s devoted sidekick, feminine and/or conspicuously cold toward women or sexuality, somewhat ill-used by A but not resentful about it, as a contrast to B.

The dynamic is used pretty equally by female and male creators, though probably with different purposes. Outside the story, there’s a clear explanation for how the roles are divided: men are main, women are peripheral. Obviously the female love interest has to be on the margins of the story. Obviously the male main character has to have an ally in-story who can bounce dialogue back. Any human person has to have a best friend (for men, has to be male) and a lover (for men, has to be female). The major character male bestie and the minor character female gf is the minimum character dynamic you need to sustain the main character as a believable construction.

Except within the story, the dynamic begs far too many questions. On B’s part: her other half and love interest uses her for sex once every few chapters and dumps her to go off on another plot-relevant adventure. She’s kept in the dark, talked down to, pushed away, and distrusted. Her place at her sweetie’s side is occupied by Some Dude and no matter how much she puts into their relationship, she’s always going to be a prize for after the mission. Why does she stay with him? What could possibly attract her about this bestubbled grunt machine whose passion for the sword outmatches anything she’s given him?

On C’s part: he gets used as an emotional support crutch, designed to service his best friend’s every need at the expense of his own goals or story. He’s a housewife, he’s a domestic, he does every thankless story task with a smile because he has to provide the exposition/set up the plot/set the plan in action that carries the main male character to victory. He doesn’t have a love interest of his own, meanwhile the most important person in his life is obsessed with a woman he barely speaks to. Why should he care so much about someone who only takes? Why is he committed to this one-way friendship? What does he think of taking the backseat, providing support, submerging his own will for the sake of a person instead of an ideology?

On A’s part: if he’s a red-blooded heterosexual male character who pursues a woman as is acceptable, why does he dig himself so deep in with his designated ally? Through dialogue and because he has to in order to show the audience, he exposes his heart and soul to C and keeps him in his pocket for as long as we are watching, so why then does he cast him aside so easily? He invests the most time and energy into his relationship with C, cultivating love and loyalty there, but he draws the line so firmly in the sand that the audience is sure he’ll never, ever step aside for one minute to follow the friend. Why does he choose a man for his emotional battery? Why doesn’t he communicate with his supposed partner? Why does he choose to use B and C for sex and solace respectively, and why don’t they ever mix?

The gender dynamics wrap around to simple: women aren’t up to being equal partners to a cool guy, so you need a male wife to do everything for you and appreciate the protagonist’s sick abilities. romance with a man is perverse and impossible, so you need a female love interest to prove that the protagonist isn’t gay and fulfil the audience’s needs. But in-between all of that you could ask some interesting questions of the spoke character, A, the male protagonist whose actions are taken as normal. the question being: bro. what’s wrong with you

#kelsey rambles #aaaaaand the only thing that satisfactorily calls the A-character on his mistreatment is the podcast CARAVAN. which is not good #actually i'd go as far as to say it's bad #rgu goes into it a little but it's nowhere near the main focus of the series #using asuka-shinji-kaworu as the example that just sucks so bad #shinji's treatment of asuka is so horrible and misogynistic and despite her screentime. in shinji's mind she's never more than peripheral #and gets dumped at the last second and turned into a corpse. she's an object of desire and he refuses to recognize the ways they're the same #on the other hand shinji loves and idolizes kaworu.....only in as far as kaworu is his own dream guy who gives him everything he wants #and never makes even the slightest hint of a glimmer of expectation of anything from shinji in return #the moment kaworu's desires become explicit--he's not only killed but erased from the story altogether #eva rebuild 4.0 does this in the most insulting way possible by farming him off with....rei? #not to try and take eva rebuild seriously but the way it expands on kaworu and sidelines asuka is somehow insulting to both of them #even moreso than the original series was. which is saying something #someday i have to read the eva manga because i hear it takes kaworu in a more problematic direction that is still a direction and so better #or as for SGRS--shin is far more loving and devoted to kiku than he is to any woman and takes a killing blow for him #he watches him in life and guides him through the underworld. he gives more to kiku than he gives to anyone. #yet as a character any possibility of like-liking kiku is denied. what's the damage there? #how does it make story sense? why does kiku have a more serious relationship with a woman than the ostensibly straight shin? #the answer is The Misogyny but even then it's jarring to have shin's plain love be obfuscated with the constant references to being straight #as opposed to kiku. who actually has girlfriends and not one-night stands #it's nonsensical to read shin as a straight man and yet any possibility of him returning kiku's feelings is barred off blacked out redacted #leaving us with a dog's breakfast of a dynamic that IS fun. because in this case it's intentionally bad. and the author is winking at us

[blueeandyellowmakesgreen]

if it were a simpler time and mike was more sure of himself i just know mike’s the type to sneak the boys he dates into his room late at night.

when he does the same with will, his parents catch them. thankfully theyre not doing anything crazy, just reading comics while cuddling or something; and will notices karen is unfazed. he catches a slight eyeroll, like she even expected this. karen even asks will if he wants something to eat, then gently closes the door. will then glances at mike after she leaves like, ‘’this isnt a new thing is it?’’ and mike shrugs with a knowing smirk in his face, continuing to read his comic

yes this is inspired by caitlyn arcane

#byler #let 👏🏽 mike 👏🏽 be 👏🏽 rebellious #let him pull a caitlyn arcane and sneak his boyfriends/girlfriends in!!!!! #id say the same for will but judging how supportive she’d be and how she took mike and el’s relationship she would be a lot more open #that there wouldn’t be a use to sneaking in #mike on the other hand.. #writing

Orange-san, do you think you’ll ever be able to draw your Billy interpretation again?

POSSIBLY! the only reason why I haven't been is cause I'm so abibaz-brained....(and other things but mostly that yknow)

I'll try and draw him today if I remember though! I do still like my design for him and shouldn't let it go to waste

#i still really need to learn the lore for those games i still dont know at all what his deal is #other than from second hand information from ur posts haha #all i know is that hes got wicked issues and some dead fuckass girlfriend or something

And maybe you'll be like "but if you don't trust businesses, how can you trust welfare?"

I fucking don't. My mom trying to get on food stamps fucked me up because a lady I never met without my permission got my SSN from my mom and started editing my files. My heart still races to this very second whenever I think about it, it kinda messed me up bad and I'll never ever ever see any kind of recourse

And I'm terrified that I'm gonna lose my medicaid just cause I inherited some money from my grandpa

And I've never even applied for disability cause it kinda doesn't matter finding out if I'd qualify or not cause of my depression, when the rules are so restrictive I don't know if I've even be allowed to keep my house

I do not fucking trust these things on a personal level. I feel like out of a lot of people I have the most to fear from them cause I'm on the edge of having things work, and that gets you punished

...but I need medicaid in order to have insurance (and when you strip out the finance side of medicaid, I love medicaid... they're honestly incredible insurance... I just... I just... dental is like 90% of why medicaid is so important to me, ever since I found out this state pays for it I've actually been able to do cleanings which is important to me cause I can't always get myself to brush)

And I think things like disability and food stamps are pretty damn important on a personal level, and honestly are also good for the economy cause they get people spending... it's practically a free cash infusion into the economy, cause these are people who need to buy stuff

There's just so much important stuff welfare does that it's worth dealing with government

No, what I want is more accountability so if someone gets my SSN from a 3rd party like my mom they're held to HIPPA styles standards where that's not ok to access my files without my permission (She changed my fucking address and tried to get medicaid to investigate me for fraud! Never even met me)

Like have some accountability there and in every situation

Secondly I want less punitive focused rules. I'd frankly prefer bezos get on disability than smack down some poor sod cause they got $2000 in the bank or cause their friend lets them live with them for free

If there's gonna be a cut off on these programs, it needs to be a solid step above the poverty line, cause... by definition I assume poverty line denotes kinda the minimum expected income people can reasonably live off of, and if you take away benefits people are gonna lose a chunk of money to covering that stuff themself, so you need a buffer before you kick people off

I don't fucking trust the government for a second, I've actively been fucked by them and on a personal level I avoid everything but medicaid and only that cause everything but the money is pleasant to deal with and I kinda need it (honestly if I was rich I'm not even kidding that I'd rather give medicaid like $400 a month than some insurance company, I sincerely like them as insurance)

But I'd trust them a lot more if they were less punitive, less out to hunt me down and gut me cause someone handed me a fiver or cause I started to get on my feet, and if government employees had concrete rules they had to follow that were actually transparent and enforced

Like 90% of my problems with welfare go away if they're held accountable and there's less "catch the welfare cheats" mentality going around

I don't trust the government in the slightest, but sadly there some jobs it kinda has to do, so I'd just rather force it to be an open book where the public can keep an eye on it and if they step out of line there's consequences (sort of like I don't trust most mega corps but happen to sometimes need stuff from them... did you know literally every cell service provider has been illegally selling shit like your location data to random people like bounty hunters, and the FCC just slapped them with a fine that's 0.02% of their yearly incomes and debated even doing that? I even can offer a source on that)

...I don't trust much of any authority cause they constantly fail me and kinda screw me. Don't trust doctors either, but I still gotta go to them, you know? ...they're just... they're real bad at listening... so many systems need systemic change

(You know who I really don't trust is the cops. I could point to so many examples. My uncle doesn't trust cops either, and he's an ex Fire and SWAT paramedic, he worked with them and we still got into a long conversation where he basically tore into them far better than I can)

#anyway; if I'm a lousy cheat or whatever least they can do is give me a gun so I can solve that problem #shit makes me wish I was canadian so I could take advantage of their sick implementation of assisted suicide #what should be a system that gives people a choice about the quality of their life; and I don't think should be relegated to terminal illne #...there was... think he was dutch; had been burned by his girlfriend all over his body; was in constant pain #and he ended up using assisted suicide in the end cause he was just in constant agony... think that's his choice to make #but of course the canadian system concretely pushes people; mostly the poor and disabled; to kill themselves #not theoretically; as in literally says word for word to them 'you should really kill yourself; just sign here' #it's sick; it truly is #but for any americans that want to dunk on it; I'm telling you we're no better #we have the exact same miserable desperation and people (again; mostly poor and disabled) into despair #only difference is we don't offer assisted suicide #the underlying issues in the US and canada are so damn similar; so much of what's happening ends up being the same #you can't act smug just cause you only make people want to die instead of also offering to help #that's like saying that you're the good guy cause while you did everything you could to drive someone to the brink #get them fired; slash their tires; just cartoon level villain stuff to personally harass this person... at least you won't hand them rope #we have such similar systemic issues to canada; and I am explicitly telling you that like the people in canada that have said #'I can't take it anymore; disability doesn't cover my expenses and I can't get any help... I'm at my wits end so I'm gonna go die' #I'm telling you that I feel that same way; just without any eugenics agency I can call up #I'm really working to get things stable; but it feels like I'm teetering on the edge of falling into permanent failure #and... and I'll actually tell you the amount even though I don't like to mention money... makes me feel guilty #my gramps left me $27k; which sounds like a lot; but I got 20 windows that need redoing (house has a lot of windows) #...if they ended up being 1k each; that's most of the money gone; if they end up being more... #and I got a whole lotta other stuff I've been putting off like plumbing around here; need to replace that faucet #it's an amount of money that helps; but it's an amount of money that isn't gonna last #...that's like a year of bills; and my mom already needs me to pay like $400 to the propane bill since she got behind #I want to use it to... to try and really get my feet on the ground; but it might loose me my insurance... it makes me want to die #and not to be a selfish bastard; but if I could I'd like to try and take and invest a bit to maybe build some passive income #given that... that a job never seems to work out for me cause I fucking suck and cause like... my insomnia has me up at 5:30 am right now #mm tag so i can find things later
