Hi! Pre-emptive sorry for the long ask- I don't know if you've answered this before but I was scrolling through your blog and in one of your posts you note that the brief bit we see of Akira's hometown has high rise buildings, which implies it's a city. I could've sworn there was in game dialogue calling him a country boy though or referencing him being from a rural area? Is there something in the Japanese text to suggest these are meant to be taken as jokes (I.E. protag is from a city, but it's not as big as Tokyo so he's playfully considered 'rural') or is this a case of the game devs simply not considering what buildings they had in the background of that scene?

Hello! First of all, I think it's insanely unlikely that the game devs just forgot Joker was meant to be from a shack on top of a mountain and accidentally put him in a city. Maybe they didn't have time to design a farm and shoved him in a random cityscape instead? Well, maybe. I would at least have pasted in a couple more trees.

So what do we know about this?

Sojiro calls Joker 田舎もん inakamon, short for 田舎者 inakamono—someone from the countryside; someone provincial. This is what's translated as "country boy", or "country bumpkin". Chihaya uses it about herself, and Chihaya I think is certainly meant to be very rural. The Adorable Woman and Rural Young Man in Shibuya Station use inaka a lot:

His name did not originally use inakamono or similar, by the way—he's the 上京してきた青年 joukyou shite kita seinen, "the young man who's moved to Tokyo". Note the moving-up kanji there, 上, lol—this is not a sideways move, it's a definite move up.

so what is the inaka?

In short, the inaka can be the remote countryside—but it can also just be your hometown, of any description. It can be legit anywhere that isn't Tokyo. Here's Tofugu:

My mouth was hanging open and I know I was being rude, but it was really hard to pull myself together. The woman I was speaking with was from one of the top Japanese Universities. She has had international relationships, traveled the world, and done work that most foreign anime fans would kill to see. Someone with her experiences, to me, should be open-minded about other cultures and lifestyles. Just the same, I can't help but to be bothered by what she said: "I feel like anything outside Tokyo's 23 wards is inaka." [...] Often, people usually just use what they read in the dictionary, but I learned fast that "countryside" in American English is much different than in Japanese English. For me, countryside means farms. Countryside is driving to see your closest neighbor, riding tractors for work and pleasure, and being able to immediately tell who's from your town just by looking at them. When I say this to Japanese people and ask them to explain inaka, the joke is always the same: "Inaka is anything outside of Tokyo." Osaka and Kyoto, for many, aren't inaka, but Sapporo, which is one of the few parts of the country where this legendary thing called "insulated housing" exists, is inaka. [...] So you might be wondering how "bad" it really is out here. Truthfully, I'm living in a city, at least by American standards. Great bus and train systems, tons of malls and movie theaters, some of the major stores people visit Tokyo to see, game centers, golfing… and a few rice paddies. Not many, but there are some. Imagine a fashionable mall, famous manga store, well-respected school with a strong baseball team, and major supermarket, all within walking distance, with maybe one field of rice. Honestly, the place is so city that I don't think I would willingly eat any rice that grew in that field. I swear, it's in front of a bus stop.

So, tl;dr: if you aren't in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto, you're probably in the inaka—at least to someone's mind. You can be somewhere that looks to us in every way like a city, and be in the inaka. And if you pick up sticks and move to Tokyo? Then you have a good chance of being jibed about being a "country boy".

so what is joker's inaka like?

[Joker] 田舎に帰りたい inaka ni kaeritai I miss the country... [lit. I want to go back to the inaka.] Ryuji ハハ、都会の洗礼ってか? haha, tokai no senrei tte ka? Hah. Not used to the big city yet, huh? [lit. Haha, so this is your first time in the city?]

We don't get a huge amount of detail in-game about Joker's home. Besides Sojiro's "country boy", Ryuji has a couple of comments. Here's another:

Ryuji あれ? お前ン家ってわりと田舎? are? omae n uchi tte wari to inaka? Wait a sec, your hometown isn't near the countryside, is it? [lit. isn't your place relatively countrified?] Ryuji いや、大自然でランニング練習とか気持ち良さそうだなーって。 iya, daishizen de ranningu renshuu to ka kimochi yasasou da naa tte I was just thinkin' it'd be great to run an' train somewhere out where it's all big, naturey open space. [lit. no, I thought it seemed like it'd feel great to train in the great outdoors and stuff.]

(I think something may be off here with that translation of daishizen, which seems to connote "the great outdoors", "a vast wilderness", etc, as well as just meaning "nature" (the sort you get out into) more generally". The word has been split up as if Ryuji was just saying "big nature" for some reason, like if you thought "the great outdoors" meant "the outdoors is great :D".)

But we can see from Ryuji's statement that Joker's home is wari to inaka, "relatively countrified", "kind of countrified"—it's more the country than Tokyo is, but it's probably not the ass end of nowhere, either. It's somewhere Ryuji pictures getting out into nature—but even if that's accurate and not just in Ryuji's city-boy head, that again doesn't connote "ass end of nowhere"; a lot of very built-up places are startlingly close to farmland or to nature, as with the putative rice field at the bus stop that we read about earlier.

the artbook picture

There is, of course, a picture of Joker's home in the artbook:

That doesn't scream "rural" to me—though it's also not the built-up area we see him in with Shido. It backs onto a cliff, it's very green. It's clearly a row of houses on a street, maybe in a fancy suburb on the edge of the city?

It's a nice house, at any rate. Joker moving into Sojiro's attic, with his clothes in a box, will have been a harsh step down.

Another detail from this image before we move on:

Look at this board. We can make out what it says. We can even, just possibly, make out a town name there...

日立自治会掲示板 hitachi jichikai keijiban Hitachi Neighbourhood Association noticeboard

自治会 jichikai—neighbourhood associations. As you'd expect, they tend to be organised at the very local level—so Hitachi is likely to be a small district within a larger city, rather than (say) the city of Hitachi in Ibaraki Prefecture.

his city has a name guys i can't believe it lmao

the coup de grace

But there's one question I think really puts the nail in the coffin here: WTF was Shido doing in the middle of nowhere?

It's totally plausible that Joker came from a remote farm in the country, or a tiny village in far northern Honshu. But what is there in that to attract Shido? Like... Shido seems kind of an indoor guy, y'know?

He goes where his business is. He goes where the money is. It's difficult for me to picture him going to random rural areas with nobody to schmooze, with what I'm sure he'd consider to be poor facilities and shitty hotels.

Even if he did stoop to visit somewhere like that, by the time he was on his off hours getting pissed (in both senses) and attacking women, wouldn't he have gone back to civilisation?—back to the city?

conclusion??

This place Joker is wandering after dark doesn't look like The Country. It looks quite built up. I'd say it's the centre of a regional city or large town—with those nice houses we just looked at set off in suburbs along its edge. Look at this place:

It really does look like a less cramped version of Yongen-jaya, down to the trees. I don't think they spent too long on this area, but I also don't think it's inaccurate.

By the way, that "Hometown Neighbourhood" was originally 実家近くの住宅地 jikka chikaku no juutakuchi—"residential area near home". So this is not where Joker lived with his parents; it's an area close by. Like he says, he's on his way home late.

Where was he? We never find out. He has what looks like a school bag, well before his nasty crime days. Maybe he was visiting a friend we never hear about again. Maybe he was at cram school. But he's gone to this built-up part of town to do something there.

My guess would be that he lived in some prefectural capital or other. That's why Shido is there. I'd also guess that it's one of the Kanto prefectures, since the further you go from Tokyo, the less likely it becomes that Joker would have been sent to Tokyo for his probation, whether Sojiro was a friend of a friend or not.

As ever, all of this is for information only, and if you want to do something else superior in every way, you definitely should. At the end of the day Joker's a silent protagonist player insert, who can be from absolutely anywhere and as gay as you like. Let a thousand Jokers bloom.

HIIIII I LOVE YOUR POSTS SO MUCH IF YOU DIDNT NOTICED I WAS ONE OF YOUR FOLLOWERS WHO LIKE YOUR POSTS THE EARLIEST ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT AND AMAZING DAY I HOPE YOU FEEL HAPPY AND JOYFULL! STAY SAFE :DDDD

Oh and btw i love love LOVED the last post you made :3 wasnt able to like it early since i was at school but can i please req a Zoro reader with a yan Yelan , Beidou , Alhaitham (all hail the ham XD) and Neuvillete (idk how to spell his name😒🙄) ANYWAYS PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME REMEMBER TO EAT REST AND DRINK WATER <<<333

Plus points if reader is in luffys pirate crew , has 3 swords and stronger than Beidou and Yelan 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

YOUR THE BEST POOKS EHEHHEHEHE<<<<333 :D :3

(stan chuu 🥰🥰🥰😱😱😱)

LOVE YOU POOKS 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍

i didn't wanna answer this one cause it's so cute and i wanted to keep it in my inbox foreverrrrr but i really appreciate the compliments ;v; <33 also i won't lie, Zoro is not one of my favorites from One Piece (i like greasy/deranged men) but i love his character, i was also binging some episodes while writing this and also this is pre-timeskip zoro cause that's where i'm at currently and brainrot be real but i hope you enjoy :D <3

Warning: this post contains yandere-themes, including delusional behaviors, implied being held against will, mentions of violence, and other potential topics. Please read at your own risk!

Yandere!Yelan would be stressed out, not only do you wield three swords and seem to always get yourself in trouble, but you’re always getting lost. She’s at least glad that you can take care of yourself if the need arises but your obsession with being Teyvat’s Greatest Swordsman is a little out of control. She prefers that you don’t go out without her because she knows you’ll get lost, but if you should otherwise she’ll be sure to send out someone to follow you, keeping her informed of your location and every move.

Yelan smiled to herself as you trained in the backyard. While your bizarre workout routine often had her a bit worried, she admired your dedication to her work. There was a lot about you she loved, but your dedication to your goals was what drew her in, reminding her of herself sometimes. She had to keep you on a tight leash though, your lack of direction often leaving you in places you shouldn’t end up in. She never minded though, it was just another of your adorable quirks, something she found keeping her on her toes. Yelan loved you and all your strange, unique quirks.

Yandere!Beidou would find you very admirable, chasing so strongly after your ambitions as she had. While killing a Leviathan and becoming Teyvat’s Greatest Swordsman are two different life goals, she thinks you're an amazing individual for chasing your dreams so wholeheartedly.

Beidou smiled down at you from the top deck, watching as you polished your blades. While she didn’t understand the need for three swords, she knew you enjoyed it and so she never questioned it. She was grateful you didn’t put up a fight when it came to traveling on the Crux with her, not that you ever seemed to know where they were headed. It just made it easier for her to keep an eye on you, with your habit of wandering off and getting lost just to end up in a fight that she later patches you up from. She loved you and all your quirks but sometimes she wondered how you came to be this way, it wasn’t something you seemed keen to talk about.

Yandere!Alhaitham would find a beloved like this both a blessing and a curse. He loves your passion for swordfighting, often fighting with you for a bit of practice. While you certainly outmatch him with just one sword alone, he uses his intellect to spar with you, learning your moves and putting you into positions where you have to adapt and overcome. He finds the exercise to be an enjoyable break from his work, allowing him to keep his physical skills as sharp as his mental ones. He refuses to let you go anywhere by himself though, worried you’ll get lost and run into trouble, again.

Alhaitham smirked as he blocked another attack from you, having memorized every attack you’ve ever used against him. It was times like this that he enjoyed most with you, a proper challenge between brains and brawn. While your workout routine was intense, his mind was equally as polished, leaving the duels between the two of you relatively intense. On afternoons where you weren’t dueling, it was common to go into town, with Alhaitham usually picking up books or other things at stores while dragging you along with him. Even if he knew you were going to nap the whole time he was gone, he still didn’t trust you to not fight something or get lost while he was gone. So instead he took you to every store with him, keeping a tight watch over you and oftentimes tying a ribbon gently around your wrists that connected to his belt.

Yandere!Neuvillette has no choice but to keep you locked up inside while he’s gone simply because he knows otherwise you’ll get lost and he’ll be seeing you in the courtroom for yet another fight you got into. He doesn’t mind it though, knowing that at home you only do a few things, train, polish your swords, and nap. And while he admires your dream to be Teyvat’s Greatest Swordsman, he thinks you should settle for the strength you currently possess and simply stay here in Fontaine with him.

Unlocking the door and stepping in after a long day in court, Neuvillette isn’t surprised to see you napping in the livingroom. He will admit that the first few times he saw you napping, simply sitting on the floor up against a wall with all three swords nearby, he thought it was strange, insisting that you sleep in the bedroom or at least on the couch. Now though, he understands that it’s simply the way you are, quietly approaching and smirking as your eyes flicker open, looking up at the man. “Your senses are as sharp as ever I see.” Neuvillette offers you a hand, gently pulling you to your feet as you stretch, asking about his day. He enjoys the quiet life he has and he prefers to try and force you to comply than let you roam free, after all he’s doing this for the betterment of society. You’re simply too dangerous.

Hello! I wanted to say AMAZING job on that platonic yandere autobot post- yandere posts with the kids in them always put a pit in my stomach but I can admit you wrote it really well!

Though that makes me wonder what would happen with others that are either new and don't have a 'sparkling' or ones that have already been there (Ratchet and Optimus) who technically don't have a sparkling of their own? Like I know it's unlikely but I can't stop imagining smokescreen or wheeljack randomly snatching a human in their mid 20s and going "this is my kid" and no one fighting them on it

Aaaa thank you so much!! With Wheeljack I can see him and Bulkhead being like omg twinsies!! when they realize they both took in a 'human sparkling'. I hope you like these ^^

---

I think if it's a situation where the 'sparkling' isn't taken care of by the whole team, Ratchet would be the most overprotective of his human sparkling. Like, you're not going anywhere without him there. You're not leaving the base even. You're lucky if he trusts the others to take care of you, or else he may just lock you in his resting quarters while he's away.

It's not that he means to punish you. You have to understand. He's just… Terrified. He loves you so much and it's terrifying. He can't lose another one. Please. He can't lose another child. It'll break him. Please, please, just understand. He loves you too much to let you be hurt again.

And it's not all bad! He loves to pick you up and hold you in his arms, pressed against his chassis. It's one thing he misses most about losing his little ones… He also enjoys playing games with you or indulging in interests and projects. He loves nothing more than to see a smile on your face and know how much you and your passions mean to him. Though, he has the tendency to go a bit overboard.

If he's delusional enough, he may believe you're somehow his child or grandchildren reincarnated. He'll tell you the memories he has of Cybertron with his family to try to jog your memory.

Despite his unconditional love for you, Ratchet is a grumpy old mech and has a tendency to be stern when need be - and even if not. He may raise his voice at times, but is quick to apologize and swoop you up into his arms.

Optimus' affection is more reserved than Ratchet's, but that doesn't mean he loves you any less! His adoration is usually expressed through praise and words of encouragement. I imagine The Matrix would try to curb this increasingly possessive parental attachment toward you, but perhaps Optimus can simply… Bend the rules just a bit?

It's only natural to see you as a sparkling, is it not? You were significantly younger and smaller than him and he'd taken on a protective role toward you, if anything, it'd be odd if he didn't see you as one. And it was his duty to protect the lives of humanity, especially against the Decepticons. He was doing this because he must. He must keep you safe. You're so small. So fragile. So young.

If he must keep constant communication with you to assure your safety, so be it. If he must disrupt your daily life to protect you from Decepticon attacks, he will do it gladly. And it hurts him to do so, but if locking you within the base is what stops Optimus from losing you, it is the price he is willing to pay.

At some point, something glitches. Why should he be remorseful for his actions? You were family, after all. His sparkling. And he would do anything to keep you safe.

This glitch in his Matrix may also extend to Bumblebee, but perhaps less so because Bee is much less fragile than you. Optimus would love if the two of you began bonding. Not just to cement you as family, but it means another set of optics on you, as well.

Love the idea of Wheeljack either randomly being like "my baby now" with you without realizing Bulk was doing the same, so when they both go to show their kids off they get so hype because !!! Same wavelength! OR Jackie seeing Bulkhead getting his own Sparkling and being like 'hell yeah this planet has free kids' and zooming off to get his own.

Jackie would try to be as fun a caretaker as possible. Would love to joke around with you, play games, let you climb on him or sit on his shoulders. Also likes to tease you, usually about how small you are compared to him. What? It's cute!

But, his patience can wear rather thin if you keep begging him to let you throwing tantrums, and while his punishments aren't physical in nature, they can be rather cruel.

For instance, if you're so insistent that he let you go, surely you wouldn't mind him driving you out into the desert and leaving you there, right? I mean, its basically the equivalent of what he'd be doing if he abandoned you when Cons and other dangers are everywhere on this planet! He'll drive out a couple miles before circling back and asking, rather smugly, if you got everything out of your system and were ready to come back to him.

Also! Two dads for the price of one! When he knows he's gonna be going down some dangerous roads and needs someone to watch after you, Bulkhead is the mech for the job!

I feel like Smokescreen would be more of an older sibling figure! No less protective of you than the others, but more of a different dynamic.

For instance, he really, really wants to impress you. He'll go out of his way to do tricks if it means your eyes are on him and smiling up at him. He loves to know you're happy and being the one to make you smile. He hopes you can look up to uim the same way he looks up to Optimus!

And for that, he's also hit very hard at any sign of conflict or disappointment from you. He doesn't really like the idea of punishments. You're far younger than him, you don't know what you're saying. You're confused and upset and so you're lashing out. It's okay, Smokescreen understands. If he ever does feel like you're purposefully trying to hurt him, he'll simply give you the silent treatment.

He loves scooping you into gentle hugs or holds, carrying you around the base. Also loves taking you out for car rides and just talking together.

And if any Decepticons even think about laying a claw on you, he'll make them wish they never existed <3

Kang/Sailom and competing meanings of 'security'

Kang: "Let me ask you this. If I were to wake up tomorrow with no money, would you still like me?" Sailom: "I. Like. You."

Episode 4 made it clear that Kang and Sailom enjoy each other’s company, that they mutually missed one another after Sailom lost the tutoring job, and that they would like to continue spending time together moving forward. It’s particularly important how well Dangerous Romance demonstrated that this goes two ways - that for Sailom his sadness wasn’t just about losing Kang’s financial support (seen below in the scene with his brother and also in his disappointment after Pimfah hires him)

These scenes show us that he missed Kang outside of the bounds of tutoring him. Said differently — that he gets more from their relationship than Kang’s family’s money.

This is so interesting to tease out because right now, Kang is obsessed with making sure Sailom is financially secure -- specifically with Sailom having enough money to pay off the monthly debtors so he won't be beaten or have to work as an escort.

For Kang, his money is the most important thing he has to offer Sailom. He agonizes over his midterms, not because he personally feels driven to pass them all, but because he's terrified of what will happen to Sailom if he gets fired. However, while money is particularly important to Sailom at this moment in time while his brother is 'injured' (side eyes Saifah real hard), it is not what he values most about his relationship with Kang. For Sailom, Kang gives him an emotional security he doesn’t get anywhere else.

Kang does this in several ways. First, he offers Sailom the space, lack of judgement, and often encouragement to just be a teenager:

To play video games

To take naps

To experience the joy of a late night ride

To be kind of a troll:

((I don’t believe for ONE SECOND Sailom would talk to any of his other tutoring clients like this)) Kang also puts Sailom first in a way in a way no one else does (I love this post by @jojotichakorn about this being important). He constantly worries about Sailom and his needs. LOOK AT ALL THESE MOMENTS IN JUST THREE EPISODES:

And finally, Sailom can relax and be himself with Kang in a way he doesn't seem to with anyone else. While he does lighten up a little with Auto and Guy, he still seems to play a caregiver role for them. And he’s quick, when he does start to let his guard down, to snap back into his top student role.

The way Sailom is with Kang is actually best contrasted with how uncomfortable Sailom is at home. However much he adores Saifah, he is always on guard with him, perhaps even more than Sailom himself even realizes.

He doesn’t admit to his full emotions about losing Kang

And he constantly worries about Saifah’s spending habits and behavior with his clients

While Kang’s money is helpful for Sailom, like Sailom said, he could have found another job. We saw that on screen when Pimfah offered him the tutoring gig. But Sailom would have been (almost) as miserable as Kang in that scenario. Because Kang gives him an emotional security that Sailom has been desperately missing in his life. It may seem surprising to hear that Sailom’s former bully is now his biggest source of comfort, but I think there are a few reasons Sailom feels this way about him:

He never truly feared Kang to begin with; Kang started to really frustrate him towards the end, but Sailom didn't ever get scared by his attempts at physical intimidation

Kang has already seen him at the absolute lowest point in his life (the night of the beating)

Kang saved him and then cradled him protectively in his arms while he cried

Sailom has already seen Kang at one of the lowest points of his life in return (his birthday); he's also seen Kang at his abject worst (any one of his many bullying attempts) -- so there's no pressure to impress him

Since they started spending time together, Kang has never done anything but reward that trust. He hasn't made fun of Sailom or made him feel any lesser, even in situations where Sailom was clearly out of his element (the steak, the VR)

In summary -- Sailom needs and wants to be around Kang just as much as Kang does him, and for reasons that are intrinsically Kang.

However as long as Kang continues to think the most important thing he can do is buy Sailom's time, they are going to keep having conflict. Because:

And the more Sailom falls in love with Kang, the less he is going to like the idea of feeling like Kang is trying to buy him.

Episode 35 screaming notes!

So what if I'm emotional over a fictional, fake family spending one day of vacations together?

I love Twilight's comment about how he's glad the SSS is looking out for the bombing threat (and we know it's in vain), but it still puts him on edge to be stared at like this. He trusts them to protect civilian life (and Ostania's pride and joy of a ship) but he doesn't trust trust them, you get what I mean?

We shan't forget. The one thing this man can't pretend to be is someone who is having genuine fun and we'll drag his ass about it and then cry because this is a direct result of his traumatic childhood

Loid blushing when he spots Yor is so precious. I think it might be him blushing half because she saw his dorky skipping and half because… well. He might be falling in love :)

He notices the swelling on Yor's face, but I think he wouldn't even suspect her at this point. He sounded mostly worried about her.

And of course, Anya wasn't plaguing her with questions because she knows all, but it's funny that neither went like "Isn't our super curious five six-year-old going to ask where this bruise and swelling is from?"

SCREAMS

The following montage was absolutely adorable, and the insert song just made it even cuter. I love how it was Anya who lead them to each activity; neither Loid nor Yor had to drag her around anywhere, their attention was on her and on what she wanted. They even explored a cave! She was their priority, she truly must have had an amazing time and this is such a sweet way to end this cruise!

I mean, look. One of the ways Twilight learns how to parent is by fearing 24/7 that his daughter may fall. Very normal things.

Maybe it's because I'm the youngest child, so whenever we were out as a family and I asked to do something my parents would usually decline, because they had two more kids to look after and a place to go, but I have a lot of appreciation for the Forgers going around the resort and stopping to do whatever and anything Anya asked to do.

Very normal man who is definitely not an elite-trained spy trying to fit in. Normal things.

And like. Okay. Yor looking at Anya with such a soft face as Anya is having pure unrestrained fun is one thing.

BUT THEN THEY HIT US WITH THIS???

OH MY GOD. MY GOD. THIS MAN IS IN LOVE AND HE HAS NO FUCKING CLUE.

Like, for real. I can't stop looking at this. It's just his eyes but there's so much longing and yearning in them and also some sadness because deep down he thinks that what he wants is something he'll never get but this is really deep because it'll take him about three to five business years to accept he's grown feelings.

Like. It's not just "growing feelings" anymore. You don't look at someone like THIS when you're just "warming up" to them. He'd grown so accustomed to life with the Forgers that after Yor was away - though in the very same ship as them - for a couple of days he went all yearning looks and doe-y eyes at her when he met with her again. He's in LOVE.

I am so excited to see how their dynamic will develop from now on! It's gone on an entirely new page!

Anyway. I love how Yor went like "Oh they might see the wound on my chest" for the snorkeling but when she saw they could wear wetsuits she went like oh that's okay then and DIDN'T WORRY AT ALL ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE'D GET SALTWATER ON HER WOUNDS. THIS WOMAN EATS HOT COALS FOR BREAKFAST AND WHITE HOT IRONS FOR LUNCH.

I mean, I'm guessing she is a fast healer and her wounds are not openly bleeding anymore but still. Hardcore.

And of course she'd beat the shit out of sharks. It's funny seeing the trio try to come up with excuses now but I think it's going to be a different type of good post-reveal, cause they'll be like "I have nothing to hide" and act on their abilities without a single moment of hesitation. Imagine Yor beating up sharks and Loid and Anya looking at her with heart eyes.

Aw, but look at them snorkeling. It's Yor who is holding Anya. I wonder what Yor's thinking is on that since she thinks that Loid is Anya's biological father and has been longer in her life. I doubt she thinks anything bad about Loid, but it is something that would make someone wonder.

I was so impressed by everything in the episode up until that point that I completely missed what the dialogue there was XD I only had more thoughts after I rewatched it.

Anya is having fun looking at the colourful fish. Yor has hunting in mind. Loid is… not impressed XD

Though very light, this could be a reflection of their characters. Anya is a child full of curiosity for the world, easily impressed by new stuff; she loved the aquarium, and she loved seeing new fish from up close.

Yor's encounters with animals were either for hunting (for food) or with guard dogs from people she was sent to kill. She understands the concept of pet animals, of course, but it seems to be a "secret third option", as tumblr would say. Her first instincts are either hunting or fighting, and since those fish were too small to be any threat (I mean, she's confident about fighting sharks), her mind went to food.

And then you have Loid. His wide knowledge of the world has rendered him almost incapable of getting impressed. There's nothing new for him to learn in anything… except for child rearing, of course. And maybe human connection. And so, he seems to be looking at those two in the last shot.

Just like Gram, Anya gets thrown around by a professional, super strong assassin and she just goes like "Again!" And Loid doesn't even make a comment about Yor pushing Anya too strong. He really took to heart and meant it when he told Yor that her being strong is one of the things that make her an amazing mother.

AND THEN THAT SCENE

I had guessed right, as Yor had indeed not rested at all for the entire three days of the cruise and had a long and intense fight the night before. AND THUS FANSERVICE HAPPENS <3 <3 <3

DON'T MIND IF I DO <3

ENDO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING <3

No but seriously, there's a lot to love about this moment. Apart from how cute it is, Twilight at first only seems annoyed by how this attracts attention to them. He was already alert from how the SSS was looking at everyone, this would only add to his uneasiness.

But it doesn't take long for him to find an excuse for his wife. Blaming all her exhaustion on her work, being thankful for her going along with everything Anya asked to do, and smiling at her!! Bruh!! And he STILL can't see it, this man is such a good liar he can even lie to himself!!

Seriously the way Eguchi delivered those lines? Superb <3

AND THEN THE FAMILY THEME PLAYED AND I WAS LOSING MY MIND.

They didn't have to go so hard T_T It was a relaxing (and quite prolonged!) chapter to wrap up the cruise arc, but it was wonderful T_T

Even the Handler is up to him, though. Fullmetal Lady won't fall for his emotionally constipated bullshit.

AND I THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET ANY CUTER!

She even drew the family in their colours! Yor in red, herself in pink, and Loid in a muted green! I can see Yor holding one of her stilettos, but what is the other thing? A rose? I don't think I can tell what Anya is doing in the drawing, but Loid looks like he's holding a bomb? Or a surfboard?

AAAAAHHH It was wonderful!! T_T

The parts with Yor and her coworkers and Yuri and Lieutenant Guy were actually added by the anime! I feel Yor about the gifts. I'm so bad at gifts you have no idea. And Yuri is on another level, he doesn't stop talking about his sister and he tells Lieutenant Guy "Are you psychic or something" and he's like "Sure sure". And this being this kind of show I was like "MAYBE???" but yeah no he was just messing with Yuri XD

Hey psst. You know what will look even more convincing? If you both slept on those pillows 👀👀 next to each other 👀👀

I was cringing so hard at the scene in the school! Anya! We love you as you are, you don't need to go embarrass yourself!

It was interesting, though, to see that Damian stayed out of it all. It's proof that he can mind his business and keep his opinion to himself. I hope he learns to do that more often.

Becky continues being best friend material <3 Anya is so lucky for real

It's been less than a week

It's so funny to me that the anime added the detail that it was Loid who picked the snacks for Yuri. I wonder how quickly Yuri would spit them out upon learning that XD

My mans tired. I felt kinda sad for him ngl XD

Okay, this was hilarious. His paternal instincts are starting to kick in to the point where he imagines teaching Anya the proper methods of deception. It was also funny that as Yuri was imagining his speech, I went like "Uhm you lie to your sister no?" and before I got to finish that thought, the excuses kicked in.

And Anya is starting to learn that actions have consequences.

This isn't what she manipulated two enemies of the state into adopting her for.

TWO EPISODES LEFT T_T I might have to pick up making crack recaps again for however long the next hiatus will last :'D

#! — 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 ..

genre: FLUFFFF

pairing: skz x gn!reader

wc: 1.3k

warnings: romantic fluff you might start wishing for a partner if you don't have one already

note: i might post a bit slowly and only drabbles for a while, i gotta get used to uni and working time BUT i have smth somewhat big planned for my next milestone soooo stay tuned ehehehehe pretending that my blog isn't dead LMAO

not my pics, credits to owner!

ᴄʜᴀɴ

he's one to be gently touching you at all times without his knowing, subconsciously. when he sees that something upsets you, or when you get excited, nervous, tired - quite frankly, any emotion you show towards chan makes him want to reach out to you and hold your hand, caress your thigh, squeeze your shoulder and nape. he'd leave you little texts and messages throughout the day, too! since you know how busy he can get, even a simple 'i love you, hope you have a good day!' or 'omg i miss you sm, can't wait to get home :(' will show you that he always very much cares, no matter how deep he gets caught up in his job. simply loves to make you feel loved <3

ᴍɪɴʜᴏ

cooks for you!! and a lot too, for that matter. he particularly loves spending the time together in the kitchen while he's preparing your favourite dish, from time to time running over to you all cutely with a spoon for you to try if the amount of salt and spices is enough or too much, and the excitement he has whenever you say he did a good job is just SO endearing for you to watch. THIS MAN will also treat you like his 4th cat, will boop your nose and squish your cheeks and pat your head and laugh at you when you only shoot a confused look his direction at his antics, because yes, you can bet that he will come up to you randomly while you're studying, cleaning, reading and just *squish* your face without a warning and running off all giggly like some teenager with a highschool crush.

ᴄʜᴀɴɢʙɪɴ

feeds you!!! like he's not a good cook but sometimes he WILL wake up earlier than you and try to somehow make a somewhat decent breakfast (will end up only toasting bread or ordering in something entirely, but the thought is there 💪🏼), and before you've even fully awoke he's sitting by the edge of the bed, a piece of fruit or bread in his fingers, ready to LITERALLY feed you like a baby, this HUGE grin on his face because he finds you adorable munching on whatever he prepared all tiredly? also for some reason loves your complaining right before he shoves the food into your mouth, about how you only just woke up, how he didn't have to cook, how you could have helped him with it and how you don't need to be feeded and can perfectly eat yourself, it all very much meets deaf ears though <3. in general, he'll love to just put up his chopsticks to your face when you're having lunch or dinner together and letting you try his food. other than that, he'd be one to share basically everything with you, up to his work, in a way. when he's home late and STILL has stuff to do after coming back, his favourite thing is explaining you what exactly he's making, how he's coming up with lyrics, melodies, how he's recording stuff. loves to see your interest in him and it works reversed as well, he will want to know EVERYTHING about your profession.

ʜʏᴜɴᴊɪɴ

it is such a random thing but he will help you remove your jewelery. if you were out with friends, or on a date with him, basically anywhere where you put thought and effort into your outfit, necklaces and earrings and bracelets accentuating your body - hyunjin will be next to you in the evening, fiddling with the opening of the chains around your neck, or taking one off your earrings off while you work on the other one. he wouldn't know a reason if you asked him why he had that habit, but you couldn't complain if you were honest, your heart melting at how attentive his actions felt. boy will also doodle you constantly!! you'd be sleeping or napping in his bed and he'd take a pic - for teasing purposes - before his pencil and notebook are out and he's creating a sketch of the way you're laying in his sheets - this time simply out of adoration, because anything you do seems to be so endearing to him that he wants to hold onto it in more ways than just a simple picture.

ᴊɪsᴜɴɢ

WILLLLL PAINT YOUR NAILS!!! no matter if you normally wear or like nail polish he WILL ask you to please please paint them. especially when he sees you painting your nails already anyways; would come up to you and pout until you give into him and hand him over the brush. you'd be surprised at how he always does a fairly decent job too, the paint smudged only rarely. he's always giving you a kiss afterwards AND WILL NOT STOP BRAGGING about what good of a nail artist he is, though it doesn't need much talent to simply put on one coat of color, he will not stop admiring his work lmao. also loves lazying around together! for him spending quality time together isn't necessarily actively doing something together, it's enough for him to simply lay in bed together all day and cuddle or doze off or talk about everything and nothing.

ғᴇʟɪx

similar to jisung, he loves helping you to put on make up! he doesn't even need to convince you much because he's miraculously good at it anyways, and by how much fun he has painting your face with the brushes, it pains you to ever say no to him. when you don't have anything to get ready for he'll love experimenting lots with like- eyeliner looks and stuff you normally wouldn't wear, simply for the giggles of it, and would let you paint him up as well! loves the feeling of the brush against his skin and the time you spend together giggling and laughing. is a natural cuddle bug too, will come up to you randomly whenever you do basically anything and just snuggle against you, leaving butterfly kisses all across your skin until you're too distracted to continue your activety from before, your whole attention on your boyfriend now <3.

sᴇᴜɴɢᴍɪɴ

HUGE flirt. like he'd always be teasingly and jokingly flirtatious towards you, winking and wiggling eyebrows and saying stuff he KNOWS will make your heart flutter juuust the right amount and he's so good at it for it to only be a joke? but you know he does it simply to tease because he will go out of his way with the flirting when friends are around, only to make you that much more flustered, because he can and is evil. he always has a laugh at how you roll your eyes at him while simultaneously blushing like crazy, making everyone in the room laugh as well. bro also just serenades you all of a sudden? like he'll be practicing some heartbreakingly romantic song for some cover, and the moment he's home he's NOT stopping to sing it for you, specifically. again, it's more a joke than anything, especially the way he dramatically gestures and closes his eyes while singing, but since he's not one to say 'i love you' too often, you make out his antics to be somewhat deeper and more meaningful than they seemed.

ᴊᴇᴏɴɢɪɴ

bro loves to go shopping with you!!! he's obviously big on fashion and one thing he LOVES doing with you is being on the look out for cute couple outfits to wear together hehe. even if you're not super into fashion yourself! i feel like he'd find it adorable to somewhat look for stuff for you and spend hours in the dressing room, judging each others clothes, how they fit you, how they suit you, best quality time for him. oh also! wipes food from your face when you're eating, but in a jokingly annoyed manner. like when you're eating together and he sees a bit of food on your chin he takes some tissue and is tsking at you, funnily scolding you in that voice he has when he's pretending to be a grandma lmao, he knows it makes you laugh and he likes to show his affection towards you subtly that way.

Hi hi, so I wanted to say I absolutely love your account. I was the anon who sent the very first two requests, I just didn't have the courage to send a non-anon ask. Could you maybe do something on Bae at the VMAs as Skz are performing. I think it would be really cute. It's ok if not though. Again love your account it makes me so happy

Thanks, Bye-Bye 😊

word count: ~615

warnings: none, Bae just got lost, as usual

a/n: Hey-ho! So it was you who sent those absolutely adorable and fitting first asks! Thank you so much, they still mean so much to me 😭 And congrats on sending this on non-anon, but don't ever feel pressured to do so! I accept anons and non-anons equally, so feel free to choose whichever one you feel more comfortable with. Really, thank you so much for loving this really niche and small account, it means a lot to me, especially because you are one of my regulars. I do notice you guys, don't think otherwise. I had to rush this if I wanted to post it today, since I live in Europe so everything happens when I sleep, and I also had an appointment to make today so. Yeah. Anyway, I hope you like this little drabble, I can always write more if you'd like 😊

Please let me know if I left a warning or anything out, I will add it in! Reblogs, likes and feedback are greatly appreciated!

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

Chan was befuddled.

His tallest kid was missing somehow, even though they were next to each other just 5 minutes ago.

Bae always did this, somehow disappearing unintentionally in the blink of an eye, leaving his band members in blind panic, trying to find him. Especially their leader, Chan. He swore he had white hair at this rate.

"Guys, guys, have you seen Bae? We're supposed to be on stage in like 20 minutes." - Chan asked, slight panic settling into his voice. "Where is he... ah, there. Hyung, look up." - Felix instructed immediately, the elder's eyes following.

"See that faint, moving dot on the ceiling? Somewhere under that is Bae hyung." "Wh... Is that a pointer? Why's there a pointer on him??" "Minho hyung had enough of searching for Bae hyung, so I put it into his bun, since I helped with his hair today. It's subtle enough that only we will notice it." - Hyunjin replied this time instead, amusedly looking at the moving dot of light on the ceiling. "How the... Nevermind, this is genius. Now let's go and get him." - Chan murmured out, his leader persona taking over.

The group swiftly made their way through the sea of people, careful not to bump into anyone. It was hard, but they were used to it, having been in similar situations before.

"Is that...is that Taylor Swift? Is he talking to her?" - Jisung murmured out, disbelief dripping from his voice.

And sure enough, he was right, their tallest member was standing in front of the celebrity, casually talking and... even slightly smiling? This shocked everyone, not used to their shy member doing such things. He usually just stood there silently, whenever they had to talk with strangers or acquaintances. Or even when they had to make a speech. Bae was basically a living decoration in those times.

"Bae?" - Chan asked, gaining the attention of the lost lamb. "Oh, the others are here too. Pleasure to meet you." - she introduced herself, causing everyone to immediately greet her back with a bow.

"Our time is up it seems. Take care of him boys, if everyone learns that he is this cute, even though he looks scary, everyone will be all over him. Oh, and good luck!" - and with that, she left with a smile and a wave, leaving everyone gaping at her leaving form.

"Okay dude, you gotta tell us what happened." - Jisung said as he gripped Bae's shoulders, the latter taken aback and embarrassed. "Yeah, you never do this with people! What did you do to our hyung??" - Jeongin added in, looking for the apparently lost, true Bae.

But Bae didn't really answer, he just looked away, lips pursed and cheeks dusted with a faint red colour.

"Did you get lost and she helped you?" - Seungmin said this time smugly, causing Bae to cover his face with his hand, basically confirming the puppy's statement.

This only caused everyone to burst out into laughter, gathering nearby people's attention.

"Can't believe you did it again! And S-STAY's gonna clip it, once again! They're gonna make entire compilations of you getting lost at this rate, I can't believe this!" - Felix forced out between bouts of silent laughter, trying hard not to laugh out too loudly. "Y-you mean, make more compilations? He already has several, dude!" - Jisung added salt to injury, both earning a little hit on the head from Bae. "He does, he does! Ah, don't hit me, I think it's cute." - Changbin defended himself, but it was fruitless.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad we're all happy and having fun, but we really need to go now and get ready. Especially you, our lost little otter, because you're our opening act. Now go, go go go." - Chan ushered everyone out, like a mother leading his little chicks.

HI! can I req shizuku, akito and tsukasu x reader when their sibling caught kissing them?

HAVE A GOOD DAY<3

Awww that's so cute idea! I wasn't sure if you meant readers sibling catching them or char sibling catching them so I just did character siblings, hope it's alright! And feel free to ask for different version if that's not what you meant ^^

Anyway I hope you enjoy <3

Getting caught by their sibling with Shizuku, Akito and Tsukasa

Tag List: @qwnelisa - come get your Shizuku~

You had classic date at your partner's house and the two of you just wanted to share a little kiss together but unexpectedly their sibling came in...

⊱ movie dates weren't anything new for Shizuku or you, unfortunately you couldn't spend that much time with her sister because she didn't wanted to be around her older sister often

⊱ the fact that your girlfriends younger sister didn't spend time with you was nice because you usually had your lovey dovey moments, but also was sad because you didn't wanted to have bad relationship with her family

⊱ tonight was one of those days when you're just watching some romance movie while being cuddled into each other, and something just made you want to kiss her so you did! After all why should you stop? But unexpectedly her sister showed up

"Hey Shizuku, I remember I borrowed you my brush- nevermind. I'll come later."

"Oh, no, wait Shiho! It's on my desktop. I'll-"

"No need. I don't need it immediately either way."

⊱ to your surprise Shizuku acted like it's normal and was unaffected meanwhile her sister immediately picked up on romantic mood and gave you your moment that you truly appreciated

⊱ your girlfriend didn't thought much of this situation and just got back to giving you kiss she didn't ended

⊱ Akito loved having a sleepovers with you, especially the fact that you always were so cuddled into each others and just were rambling sweet nothings

⊱ you actually had good relationship with Ena since she gave really good place recommendations and once you even posed for her painting that she didn't ended because of Akito...

⊱ tonight was one of those times when you were cuddles into each other at early night and just gave each other sweet kisses on cheeks and forehead just to end it with passionate kiss on lips but when you started, his sister rushed into his room

"Akito!!! Where the heck did you put my jewelery?! I need it RIGHT NOW!! I'm already late..."

"Get out of my room!"

"After you give me my jewelery back! You better not be the reason I'm late to school!!"

⊱ if not the fact that you were there he would still argue with her but he wanted to go back to kissing you

⊱ so after he FINALLY got Ena out of his room, he continues kissing you which was more demanding than before

⊱ Tsukasa adored inviting you to his house at karaoke dates and he had great fun with you! Sometimes he even started dancing and you maybe even catched up to his thoughts and matched perfectly!

⊱ you had really good realtionship with his sister, she just was so supportive for you two, and you saw her as a good friend and so she did saw you! So it was pretty often when Saki joined you on karaoke dates and you had fun in three! (even if she was third-wheeling, she still had a lot of fun, believe me!)

⊱ today tho you and Tsukasa were alone because his parents had something to do and his sister was hanging out with her group and you had your karaoke date, and after singing (and maybe dancing too) great song you two just had to share a sweet kiss. And none of you expected his sister to come back early

"Hey! I hope I'm not interrupting but can I- ohhh nevermind~ you be cute together!"

"S-Saki?! Thank you...! I think..."

⊱ surprisingly his sister was quick to leave, maybe she even took a sneaky photo of how cute you two were togetether, although she won't post it anywhere. If anything she'll just send them to you two

⊱ but Tsukasa on the other hand was extremely red and just stared at the door for a little while still hodling you processing what he should do. And later on he decided to just give up with that kiss since now he's too much of a mess to initiate it either way, so if you want to go back to that kiss you have to initiate it yourself

…

I–

All right, y’all, I’ve got some things to say.

Spoilers for ramblings about Dislyte Unknown Collection Story Mode:

First, some positives!

• There were some pretty interesting concepts introduced: Raven having premonition and memory-erasing powers, using her wings + comet/shooting star + all how it influences the EU: the use of stone tablets, giving out only pieces of information to the public, not interfering with the future, etc.

• I liked how the Esper Union felt more gray aligned than straight up black or white considering its origins.

• I enjoyed seeing Triki a bit fleshed out, but let me just say that I'm biased about this because I literally don't have him yet so I don't know too much about him aside from the basics. A little disappointed to not have seen the whole crew. I was also hoping to see Zora and Ren Shi too. 😭😭 I will say, I can appreciate Yamato just coming around to be a menace and have fun, lol

• The silly and cute things like the Draw and Guess game, Tevor’s photo with Hilda??? (When and how even was this/could this happen, lol), commander Xuan Pin post-Immortal Fire and her relationship with Mateo, Alexa and Abigail having their moments together, and Alexa being a Wattpad writer amateur romance novelist on the side, lol.

• Lots of lovely and memorable artwork especially! Sachiko was obviously the devs’ favorite since they drew her so adorably, lol Assassin’s Creed reference?

Negatives.

• Y’all… This felt like an alternate universe rather than an addition to literally everything we’ve ever been introduced to in canon, so I’m just going to treat it as such. I could've avoided this and wouldn’t missed out on anything.

• Also, as interesting as it is, Raven being clairvoyant came out of nowhere, lol There’s no mention, reference, or anything anywhere suggesting this in Dislyte canon, besides the fact that Odin (Norse Mythology) has that ability. I do miss her bike and wolf though, lol The [Player] character gave more Mary Sue isekai’d into the game vibes rather than someone literally not from this world who’s experiencing Grandis and Miracles for the first time. If Markiplier can be canon in the universe but not in a weird way, then they could’ve done something along those lines for him too. Why exactly did Tang Na turn into a “Miramon”? Usually, overdrawing on your powers (could) just kill(s) you like in Gaius’ or Leora’s event. I guess it changed for then humanity/divinity balance. Where’s Discboom? She could’ve been a good lock instead. 😔😔

• What was going on with the writing and pacing? There were lots of typos, weird wording, and kind of a strange flow from chapter to chapter. Maybe localization editing was rushed? Like, I could appreciate trying a new style, but it also felt off-putting a lot of times and not as cohesive or seamless as it could’ve been. The Shackled Collection, the OG story mode, was much better in this regard. And then, there’s…

The ending…

• Honestly, it’s a bit hard to play devil’s advocate with that ending because from the standpoint of a first-time new player, who hasn’t been through Gaius’, Norah’s, or Embla’s event, the OG main story/Shackled Collection, or any other big lore heavy events, it might feel like “whoa, plot twist! That’s interesting!” But it’s still a little lackluster.

As a long time player whose way too DEEP and invested in Dislyte lore, characters, and world building, I was very disappointed.

I mean, he didn’t even have a hinted-at “I want” moment or off-putting conversation with the [Player] to help build it up. All the Anesidora moments literally could’ve been her talking to Embla or Hyde for all I know. I think that I needed better breadcrumbs not because I didn’t see the twist coming, but because it didn't really pay off. As if they chose him to be the villain for the sake of shock value instead of any substance. Why does he want the power? Gaius. Union Hub Director and Researcher Gaius? He was just like, “Good job, Mayor Abigail. Pot, kettle. Yes, I’m bad. AND I want a new world order. 😈😈 What'd you wish for, Sachiko!???” And was anti-climatically blasted away.

The Shadow Decree is more than just “bwahaha evil villainy because evil” kind of people and we’ve seen that several times now so there was a lot to work with. Personally, I’m anti-evil Gaius, but if they wanted to make it a bit more believable, here’s three different scenarios off the top of my head that fits Gaius’ personality and the whole fate theme going on.

1. Desperate Gaius “It’s been more than a decade of fighting and failure and bloodshed. I’m tired of seeing Raven hurt because of her [powers™] and witnessing both the Esper Union and SD fail at achieving what for mere humans and Espers is impossible. But then, I remembered Hannah’s private research from long ago all this time about [insert gate of promotion info to explain how that even cropped up]. And it was all true. Yamato finding [Player], Raven’s vision, and Abigail’s intel confirmed that even further. Hyde, not believing in [insert gate and wish stuff], had tried to counter it with his artificial esper project, but it devolved into something entirely different [insert Sieg]. But I knew if I wanted to prove it, I needed to take measures beyond just the Union’s resources. So, I reached out to Yamato and Hyde and the rest was history. Hannah told me that I could use my powers for good. With the full power of the Starlight’s Miracle Nexus, I can save this world from the havoc and turmoil the Miracles created — by making a new one.”

Or like, 2. Slightly Ominous Positivity™ Derails into Deluded Gaius, “Don’t worry, Raven and [Player]. Just as I trust you, trust me. Even if that was her final premonition, I trust that all will play out according to fate. If fate brought us [Esper Seven] together, if it brought Hannah into my life, then I know that it will lead me to where I need to be to help everyone that I can.” Slowly turns into obsessive, corrupted selfishness as he stresses over of Raven’s prophecy, learning about the Gate of Promotion does through Yamato and the Shadow Decree, corrupted with thoughts of its unlimited potential and what it can do for him; “Can you believe it? Fate brought us to the Starlight Miracle’s Nexus that can grant me the power to do anything. Raven was wrong. This is true destiny [taking all the divine power for himself]. Hannah, give me the strength to best this fate like you did for me to save everyone. I will succeed no matter who’s against me!”

Heck, even a 3. Turned His Back on the Light to Save His Friends Gaius “They’re my friends. Us Seven have been through more than you [Player] can ever imagine. So, when Hyde and Embla came to us [Raven and Gaius] with a truce and told me that we could use this power for actual good for the world... I had to make a decision. One that could change the fate of everything Raven knew, regardless of what she saw, but be our only chance at saving everything. I know Raven would never forgive me after what I did… especially to her… but as the Esper Union Hub Director, I will do anything and sacrifice everything I have to save as many people as I can, even if it means colluding and sinking to the darkest places. Even breaking bread with the dark forces I once knew as my comrades. I promised Hannah that I would help others. You need to understand that the ends will always justify the means.”

Or something like that since we know he can be incredibly selfless/borderline sacrificial when it comes to saving people close to him and up keeping this position. Also, is Leora’s backstory still the same bc I feel like she would’ve already tried to tell everyone about Gaius being a shadow councilor when she defected since she was mentored by Embla, a shadow councilor. They hold annual end of year All-Hands, for crying out loud, lmfaooo Ain’t no way she didn’t know.

I don’t know, y’all. I’m just rambling at this point.

I really needed the seasoning Gaius was missing in his life if they’re going to make him bad. He wasn’t a very compelling bad guy. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Furthermore, it felt like they potentially retrofitted the general Dislyte lore/world building for a lot of stuff?

For me, one of the biggest things was everything around the Gate of Promotion in the Nexus. “The Miracle Nexus, the source of all Miracles,” Mkay, but how did they learn about the Gates? How did Narmer and Cang Ji, dudes who LOVE researching and exploring Miracles, not find it or learn about it years before? It’s been about 10+ years since the whole Miracle-Miramon situation began when the Esper Seven explored Miracle Prime and you’re telling me that supposedly somehow only now Yamato, Gaius, Raven, Abigail and the SD know about the Gates? And if Raven’s premonition gave that info, that still doesn’t explain why everyone else knew about it before then like Xuan Pin, Abigail, and Yamato. And about the lock too. Who gave everyone this knowledge? Like, Did the [Player] character come with a manual that Yamato’s been making leaks of or something, lol? He’s supposed to be a whole ‘Miracle destroyer’ and no one else is interested in that?

All in all, all I can say is that it was a choice and I had fun if I just think of it as an OVA or Isekai AU or something.

Bonus pics bc Hall’s censored for some reason lol AND my bby girl, Jiang Man, is looking cute here.

I love the personalization you give V2 in your most recent comic, I’m reminded of Plato’s Socrates, they’re one step ahead of Michael’s arguments, picking them apart and shaking up expectations (and being a bit of a troll to boot), but from that I also get the feeling that these are questions V2’s already asked itself.

It’s a thinker, an asker, programmed and taught with human intelligence and curiosity, and in a world mostly bereft of people thinking and asking questions like them I bet it’d turn that curiosity inwards.

I also bet that V2’s very appreciative of having someone to bounce questions off of, someone of a different mindset and origins to provide differing lines of thought and alternative viewpoints. Argument need not be a negative experience, after all.

I’m betting a lot of things, they’re just stuck in my head now and I can’t help but think about how this snarky warrior-poet would contemplate its life. So perfectly human but also so perfectly inhuman, detached and attached to how we think.

I think I sent a rant about how much I love the way you write and draw a while back, I can tell you put so much thought and effort into your work, and I want to reiterate that, I ADORE the work you put in, it shows and it shines so brightly. Thank you for posting it.

(see this!)

WAAAUUUGHHH THANK YOU,,,,i've been wanting to do a lot of little character interaction comics, and with settling on a simpler style to get them done, i'll definitely have a few more i'll make!!

but that is a lot of what i think about v2 as a character - it's very different from the machines that surround it and didn't find any that could understand its curious, inquiring mind, so it had a lot of conversations with itself. it got to know gabriel, which was its first true conversational partner ever since humans got wiped out, but michael is a much different experience for it. while gabriel is great to talk with since he's gregarious and charming, michael is introverted and, for a warrior angel, a rather deep thinker with obvious existential questions weighing on his mind. yet those thoughts aren't allowed to go anywhere because mike needs to constantly keep himself "on track" and answer himself with what his faith dictates. v2, as a rather free thinker, just goes where logic leads it and accepts that as the truth. sure, it knows here that it's poking at mike by pointing out the similarities (it really can't help being a LITTLE annoying lol), but it also views mike as someone with a deep but narrow mind. he has so much potential, v2 KNOWS he's a lot like it in many ways, he just refuses to get out of the comfort zone of his rigid dogma. so it does something small here. because v2 sees this all differently - its name is perfectly unique, as it is the only one that is the second of the v-series, the same way mike's name is unique as he is a warrior of god named for his own battle cry. it knows he won't agree, he'll argue the differences in his talking points, but all v2 ever wants is for mike to think. he has a mind starved for it and wanting it, but no one could challenge him in any previous connection he had. he is the prince of heaven, always so right and always so intimidating, but v2 can start cracking away at him little by little...and it's exactly what both of them have wanted. they begin having healthy arguments, and i think their relationship is always marked by debating one another. it gives v2 the conversations it's always wanted and it gives mike more and more room to breathe in a philosophical mind that had always been so smothered.

#i really REALLY love the comparison of their relationship to that of gabe and v1 #gabe needed the outlet of violence and physicality that he has never allowed #v1 needed someone that could understand its inherent drive for that violence #while mike and v2 has been starved of any deeper thinking or philosophy because they're not meant for that #and the idea that both of these things are good. people have different needs #and it's just about finding the person that fits with you!!!#cake answers #v2 #michael #rise and fall au

what is your favorite line/section of your sick CXS fic? It is so good and I love when authors can share some of their thoughts!

i feel so spoiled with these messages from you, thank you for being so kind my godd

(aforementioned sickfic)

it's hard to choose favorite lines bc genuinely i do love the whole fic so much. a lot of the time i'm writing off the cuff and it just flows out of me in one or two sittings (it's why i'm a one-shot writer) but this was a story that took me months to complete because of all the planning involved (and absolutely fruitless research into Chinese herbal soups, since literally NONE of that research made it into the fic lmao) and so the whole thing feels really special and different from my other stories just because of how much thought was put into it.

it took a long time, but i adored writing the second half, getting to write the same day over again and try to make it identical while FEELING totally different. having Lu Guang totally in pieces over every little change he accidentally makes to the timeline was mwaa *chef's kiss*

i think my favorite line was what i eventually pulling from to make the summary on AO3

"Lu Guang is so tired. He wishes he could freeze this conversation, this whole day, and go nap for a thousand hours. The stress of it all is sucking the marrow from his bones. He wishes he could do today over again. He doesn’t know if he’d have the strength to do today over again."

idk i just feel like it really encapsulates the struggle Lu Guang goes through in this fic and might literally go through on a day to day basis trying to re-live the timeline. like i'm sure every misstep feeling like something Lu Guang would want to do over, but how many times can he handle that, emotionally? like this day mentally broke him and it's literally the most nothing day. Lu Guang forgot to make one phone call and almost suffered cardiac arrest because of it.

plus its very sweet that Cheng Xiaoshi, sick as a dog and feeling down on himself for being left alone all day, comforts Lu Guang after this moment because he can see Lu Guang is going through like a panic-induced existential crisis and mistakes it for Lu Guang ALSO feeling ill, sweet boy ♥

i also really liked the simplicity of these lines (it includes spoilers so look away if you wanna read the fic first. )

But Lu Guang thinks of the tear-streaked smile after Cheng Xiaoshi took that first bite. Spending every waking moment agonizing over his next step won’t get him anywhere. Instead, Lu Guang folds up that smile and tucks it into a corner of his mind for safekeeping. Cheng Xiaoshi thanked him for today. Maybe that is enough.

that part wasn't in the original draft. these lines are in response to CXS thanking Lu Guang for caring for him and i think i had a bit of prose where LG internally laments that he spent half the day ignoring CXS and only took care of him when it was clear Qiao Ling wasn't going to be able to, so the thanks wasn't really deserved. or something self deprecating like that

i had sent my "final draft" to a friend after revising some bits in the flashback and said "i wanna post it but i feel like i need to mess with the ending still. it feels off" my friend insisted what i had was great but i didn't know if the last line of the fic ("Timeline be damned") felt earned. Lu Guang had been a slave to the timeline for the entirety of the story, allowing him to kind of/sort of say "fuck you" to the timeline for a brief moment felt like it was going against everything i had just established, of how IMPORTANT keeping to the timeline was to Lu Guang for the sake of being able to save Cheng Xiaoshi in the future.

it was my friend that gave me the idea to write a simple thesis line that shows what Lu Guang has learned from this. that disaster is definitely a potential outcome in Lu Guang's crazy plan, but seeing Cheng Xiaoshi at peace is enough to make him want to try. like you said in your comment on the fic, if you went back in time, you'd want to be kinder. those lines are Lu Guang reminding himself that seeing CXS at peace has an emotional effect on Lu Guang as well.

ALSO idk the "fold up his smile and tucks it in his mind" bit is cute okay? it's a very cute sentence and i'm proud i wrote it lol

this is very long so i'm gonna stop rambling but again THANK YOU so much for asking me this and for all your sweet messages. i truly can't get over how wonderful it's been talking about this story with you, it's only made me love it more and i already thought it was my magnum opus lmao

#you: talk about your writing i'd love to hear your thoughts!#me: feels guilty somehow about doing exactly what you asked of me #mykingdomforapen #link click #kelly got an ask

Can I request post concert sex with yeonjun? Like he's still high on the adrenaline after being on the stage and the moment you close the door to your apartment he takes you right against the door 😮‍💨😮‍💨

this took a while, sorry about that. has everyone seen his live earlier? he looks so good. happy reading!

summary: post concert sex with yeonjun where you decided to send him a cute picture before he went up the stage. everyone was posting how yeonjun was extra slutty for today's concert feeling everyone up.

his manager contacted you while they were still performing. regarding your plan on surprising him. saying that it'd be better to go in the hotel rather than after he's inside. mentioning yeonjun's behavior the entire night.

y/n: how's the concert bub?

you messaged yeonjun knowing that he doesn't have his phone. a notification appeared when his manager message you again.

yj manager: we'll go straight to the hotel since there's a lot of people. i sent someone to pick you up.

y/n: i'm with him now, update you when i get there :)

you sent him another message once you entered yeonjun's room. you tidied his room a little, finding the gifts he was talking about for you. you smiled to yourself, before getting ready for your little show.

you took one of his shirts to put it on. knowing that it won't last anyway. you laid on your side while you wait for yeonjun. he'd be here any moment according to the team.

"thank you for today!" yeonjun shouted to the entire floor as he opens the door to his room. he was happier since it's now his time to have a solo room. he placed his bag down, supposed to open the bathroom door when a figure caught his eye.

"thank you for today?" you joked winking at him. you motioned him to come towards you. his smile growing bigger by the minute. "did your dick enjoy my picture love?"

"hmm? do you want me to show you how i enjoyed it?" he said kissing you. he easily climbed the bed, his hair still wet from sweat. he positioned himself on top of you. holding the back of your head to make sure you're not going anywhere.

you almost forgot that you're supposed to put in a show for him with how needy you are. you could also feel how fast his heart is beating under your palm.

you flipped the both of you, so that you're on top of him. you sadly depart from his lips smiling at him. with him gently tugging you down.

"i wanna give junnie a gift too," you said standing up. yeonjun followed your figure as he sat down. a little confused with your actions. "i'm sure moas wouldn't mind if i give their performer a performance too?"

you played the music, swaying a little to try to bring a little more intensity to the mood. yeonjun has always been weak for you. thus, it didn't shock you with the way he was looking at you.

a smile adoring his face, his eyes showing a different story. you slowly bring your hands from your thighs to your neck. gliding every curve of your body.

"i wasn't expecting such a slutty performace tonight," he commented. watching you from his eyelashes. controlling every bit of himself to not pounce on you.

"you're busy whoring yourself," you told him. slightly lifting the hem of your shirt, just enough so that he could see what's underneath. "getting impatient?"

"how can i even be patient?" he said, his tongue poking his cheek. yeonjun could feel his cock throbbing in his shorts. if you look close enough you'd see it.

in all honesty, he's still very much high from the concert. his horniness clouding his perception and patience. he licked his lips, watching as you sway your hips hypnotising him.

"junnie!" you told him. he suddenly backed you against the console. making it thud against the wall. you looked at him, eyes widening as you press your thighs together.

"another time," he said. easily removing his shirt from you. he held your nape pulling you to meet his lips. his cock pressing on your stomach.

yeonjun took a quick peak at your lingerie. loving how it fits you. it was the same one you sent him earlier.

"pretty," he said. tugging on its straps. easily making it fall on your feet. "let's keep this on."

he tugged on the garter of the stockings that your wearing. making it snap against your flesh. which lead to a moan escaping your lips. you meet his eyes, biting on your finger as you do.

"on all fours," he told you. pushing you towards the bed.

and you did. heart beat echoing in your ears from anticipation. you felt nervous. but not to the point that you're nauseous. there's something about this yeonjun that just fills you with excitement.

"look at you, obeying like the slut she is." he told you. slowly climbing up the bed. his hand glide on your ass. groping the flesh beneath it. "and i'm the whore?"

"yes," you muttered. trying to push a little more of his buttons. you gasped when you felt his hand hit you. enough that it made you almost lost balance.

"i don't remember allowing you to talk," he said. hitting the same spot. making you moan from the pain.

"you asked a question," you told him. sounding out of breathe. you feel like your heart is climbing out of your throat with how fast it was beating. that it wanted more of this role that yeonjung is pulling on.

"keep your mouth shut." he told you. both his hands spreading your pussy to take a look at your gaping hole. he licked his lips, watching it clench over nothing. "you won't be coming if you do. do you understand darling?"

"yes! please junnie." you pleaded to him. hoping that he'd take mercy upon your poor body and just fuck it open. you bit your lip, anticipation killing you.

yeonjun thrust his dick inside you in one swift motion. your body being so accustomed to fucking him that it just gives him so much access. you closed your eyes shut. making you see stars from how you does it.

"no moans," he told you. holding his grunts in his throat. it still reaching your ears.

yeonjun gave you deeper thrusts than faster. knowing how to push your limits. reaching where he knows he could make you moan. you rolled your eyes as he abuse the same swollen part repeatedly.

"aww, didn't know you could be this obedient." he said. tugging on both your arms to make your body bend towards him. he took one of his hand to play with your nipples.

a smirk played on his lips as he watch your throat bob. knowing that you're controlling every sound from escaping. sure there are small whimpers when he tugged on your nipples but no more than that.

yeonjun hasn't been on tour for more than two weeks. yet every night you bounce on your toy crying out to him.

feeling him inside you is making you feel things. tugging on places you didn't know. and god how it makes you feel nauseous.

"grab those pillows." he told you. letting your arm go so that you could bend to reach them. "place them near us."

yeonjun let your body bounce on the bed when he pulled out of you. placing himself off the side of the bed. putting the pillows nearby.

he tugged on your leg, pulling you towards his direction. his eyes rolling with how easy you're being.

"place that underneath your abdomen." he told you. sitting on your legs, you reached to grabbed the pillows he was talking about. yeonjun watching your every movement. "lay down."

he pushed your body forwards. grabbing one of your thighs to use it as a leverage to insert his cock inside you. making you burry your head on the mattress when you feel him seated fully.

yeonjun lifted your other leg. hoisting both of them higher so that they're on the air. his knee resting on the bed, so that he could thrust inside you deeper.

"does my baby want to talk?" he asked you. to which you furiously nod your head in agreement. "ask me."

"can i please make sounds?" you asked him between hiccups. him slowing his thrust to hear you. closing your eyes, you could feel how full he's making you. "may i please make sounds junnie?"

"of course baby, remind the whole building who you belong to." yeonjun asked you. going back to his heavy pace.

you moaned his name like a prayer. between moan, while moaning. it sounded like a song to yeonjun. closing his eyes as he take all of you in. which leads to his dick twitching inside you.

"coming!" you told him. clenching around him. somehow it felt like your body was waiting for a signal to cum. like it was waiting for yeonjun's command.

"cum," he told you. sounding out of breathe.

making your entire body tense from his comment. caving to his demand like he owns it. his hips thrusting to help both of you ride yourself out.

yeonjun pulled out of you. watching the way his cum drips down to your legs as he does. his body collapsing beside you.

"i'd clean you up, but i don't think i could stand." you told him truthfully. knowing how tired he must be. you watch as his breaths even out. his mouth still a jar from it.

you leaned forward kissing his lips. which made yeonjun smile.

"do you think, everyone in this building knows who's the guest in room 604?" you teased him. making him playfully hit your shoulder. you gave him another peck making him whine.

La Pluie Ep 8 Stray Thoughts

Last week, we wrote so many good posts about this show, especially the importance of Tai's pleasure from giving pleasure to Patts. Lomfon proved mostly ineffectual, but Tien has placed himself firmly between Lomfon and Tai. Nara turned up at the camp, and Tai witnessed her kissing Patts. It's time for the drama.

I don't mind starting a few minutes back to reset the timeline and pacing of this so we can see how Nara approached Patts.

Oh, Patts is not feeling this at all.

I really appreciate that Patts feels bad about this situation between him and Nara. I don't think I'd like him for Tai if he didn't care about Nara.

The backing track for this Nara scene is incredible. This show has really solid sound mixing.

I feel for Nara, because her greatest fear was Patts leaving her for his soulmate, and now he's found him. She's gotta be feeling upset, embarrassed, and a little foolish at this point. I really appreciate that the show has shown her great respect.

Once again, I love how engaged Patts is with everything going on. He saw a dropped bento and immediately worried that Tai saw Nara and misunderstood.

Bow and Kung are holding hands. I know we're worried about Tai, but I NEED TO KNOW.

Man, I love how quickly everyone pieced together what happened and focused on the immediate problem: locating Saengtai.

Lomfon's insistence that Saengtien not endanger himself too is quite reasonable.

Oh, Tien. He's such a little brother. I love him.

Great transition. I'd recognize Tai by his rings and sweaters anywhere.

I must say the music for this episode has been so well-selected.

NOO! MY SWEET BOY!!!

Interesting. Lomfon has hearing loss, too.

Patts is so strong. Carrying our beautiful boy all the way down a mountain.

I knew Tai was running up that goddamn hill because he doubted the truth of the soulmate connection and was confused by Nara and Patts being compatible!

That was beautiful. I love Patts so much. He's not mad at Tai and just listens quietly to Tai finally opening up about his Soulmate fears. They can finally arrive at the conclusion the show has been arguing for literally two months: It doesn't matter if they're ordained by the universe or not; what matters is they love each other.

Patts just put his whole heart on the line when he asked Saengtai to be his boyfriend. I love this man. I will be tolerating no more slander on him.

I really like how specific each of these have felt each time.

I WILL NEVER GET OVER BOY SOMPOB SINGING OVER BIG MOMENTS IN BL. NINE YEARS AND COUNTING.

Bow and I are the same. I also cried over my boy.

I absolutely adore the relationship between Tai and Tien.

OH. MY. GOD. LOMFON HEARD BOTH TAI AND PATTS!!!!! The implications of this are huge.

We get to meet Saengnuea next week!

I am absolutely in love with this show. This is my favorite show from this year that's not Moonlight Chicken. I love how much grace is given to every character. I like how seriously it takes itself, its ideas, and its audience. I love how much this feels like a classic romance novel I might have read when I got into this 15 years ago. I love the choreography of all of the kisses. I'm haven't cried this much of a BL in a long time.

Shoutouts to @lurkingshan @kyr-kun-chan @wen-kexing-apologist @liyazaki and @ginnymoonbeam for sending me updates while I was busy this afternoon.

Ok, PSA for people who are being peer pressured (affectionate) into watching certain shows and aren't sure how hyperbolic the fandom is being about the gay shit™

Good Omens

Highly queercoded to say the least. Canon nonbinary characters. Your bigot uncle might miss the queerness, but you most likely won't. The angel and the demon don't kiss. Ambiguous, word of god love story (the a-spec community loves it! Though specific terms are never used). It makes t*rfs angry. Definitely a great show, just don't go there for specific gay representation.

Our Flag Means Death

Just as queer as everybody makes it sound, but you already know that, don't you? Your bigot uncle will complain about how they never let two men be friends. It also makes t*rfs angry. Now stop staring at that gifset and go watch it now. Great show.

What We Do In The Shadows

All the vampires are confirmed pansexuals. The hot fat guy is most likely gay, and we expect explicit confirmation from season 4. It's not just word of god, characters regularly express their attraction to the same gender in very horny and ultimately inoffensive ways (not a single fat joke on sight, btw). If anything, there might be a bias between showing straight-passing relationships as romantic and same-gender relationships as occasional sex jokes, but again, it's not distasteful and it will most likely change in season 4. Nothing mean-spirited here; your bigot uncle might insist on all those being gay jokes™. It's not meant to be representation™, it just has it because she's a badass bitch. The men haven't kissed yet and there's a 50/50 chance that they will. Even if they didn't, it wouldn't be queerbait, but they kind of wrote themselves into a corner here, ngl. Still room to backpedal, but what will you put there? If you're watching for those sexy guys with adorable height difference, watch with discretion. Enjoy the homoeroticism but don't get your hopes up or you'll end up like me. This is purgatory.

The Magnus Archives

Not a show, but I couldn't help but put it here. Canonical ace representation, yay! You have bis and lesbians and gays and everything you need. It's all very naturally integrated. The men kiss once. Don't put it anywhere near your bigot uncle.

Killing Eve

Haven't watched this one, but from what I could gather from other people's angry posts, it is in fact queer. For years they thought it was queerbaiting, then it wasn't, then it was worse. Quality dropped significantly due to constant changes in the writing room, according to fans. The ending ruins it all. Your bigot uncle will be glad that nice lady is finally free from sin. The women do kiss and it made me gayer. Watch at your own risk.

#wwdits #good omens #ofmd #tma #killing eve #nandermo #ineffable husbands #jonmartin #villaneve #blackstede #queerbait #queerbaiting #queer rep #please don't take this too seriously #I love 99% of this list

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- Season 2, Episode 16, "There's The Rub", aka A Sheer Masterpiece of GilmoreDom, AKA Jess, Rory, And Paris Eat Together And All Is Right With The World-Part 3

Who's ready for more TTR? (PS: There is a link to all previous recaps including parts 1 and 2 of TTR in my pinned post, while I work on puting together a better master index. You can also search my Tumblr by specific episode name or season).

Anyone ever look at unofficial GG merchandise on places like Redbubble and Etsy? There are a bunch of phrases that always end up on crap. Oy with the poodles already. I smell snow. Etc etc. "Vicious trollop" is a very common one as well. But nobody was putting "Why Did You Drop Out of Yale" on anything, so I had to create my own custom merch.

The banter between Emily and Lorelai is so sharp and witty and wonderful in this episode, it reminds me why am I still watching this show in the first place and subjecting myself to the additional torture of analyzing every episode minute by minute (for the second time in 3 years), even though it so often greatly disappoints me or angers me. There are just some episodes where AmyShermanPalladino's light shines through and touches everything in her kingdom. None of these moments involve Dean Forrester.

Never have I ever been so excited to see these two little words. "Doorbell Rings." JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS JESS

When I tell you I literally squealed when she opened the door. If Gilly Girls was taking place in the 2020's, Jess would be a DoorDasher. I would have him deliver to the Forresters and spit in Dean's food. This is all too pure. My heart's a flutter. I can't snark on it. SaltyGilmores™ has been disabled. Look, I can't just regurgiate every single line and frame from this scene so I'll just post a select few things. Enjoy and #AdmireTheDeliveryBaby

Can we talk about the way she's looking at him? 😍 R: How come Cesar didn't deliver this? J: I volunteered. R: Why? J: I wanted to get out of the construction zone. Mmm, sure. I love when he does this shit:

He doesn't exactly sound surprised that one of the Gilmores didn't tip him. I will never cease, desist or yield in making "Rory and Lorelai don't pay for their food" jokes.

Should I instead make jokes about how this is the second time in a row that the Gilmores actually did try to pay him and he refused?

The last time we saw this shirt, he had a name patch over his titty. I really like this shirt and how we can see his scandalous bare forearms for once. Dear Baby Jesus, Milo is adorable. And the light on him is just perfect in this shot.

R: You're staying? J: Didn't you just invite me? R: No... J: You told me I could have all the food I wanted. That sounded Invitation-Like. R: You want to stay here and eat? J: Beats being at Luke's.

You will not be going anywhere, young lady. You sit right down at that table and have a literary debate with Jess and Rory, eat some fries, and don't get up until Dean Forrester barges in and ruins everything.

Jess Mariano's social anxiety is so palpable you could eat it. It is radiating from his pores with the intensity of a hundred suns. This anxious little nugget, who did not make even a second of eye contact upon meeting a new person, has the entire town of Schitt's Hollow quaking in fear of what atrocities he may be capable of. Oooh what have we here? A MINOR INCONSEQUENTIAL PLOT HOLE!

To be continued.

#milo ventimiglia #gilmore girls #jess mariano #rory gilmore #lorelai gilmore #denise rewatches gilmore girls #gilmore girls season 2 #theres the rub #emily gilmore #paris geller #I love this episode I just want to gently place it in my nest #and incubate it #Anti Dean Forrester

NSFW Alphabet | Edward Nashton

Edward Nashton x fem!reader

Author's Note | wanted to write something that wouldn't be as time intensive just for the giggles but then I accidentally ended up going overboard on some parts. I have too many little head canons for this man I'm sorry (no I'm not). so yeah, just a random post that I wanted to banish from my skull cavern!

Warnings | smut under the cut! minors, please don't interact!!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Eddie is a total sweetheart about aftercare. If you're on top, he'll let you flop down on him, your body just suffocating him. He'll lay there, sweaty and humming from the comedown. But once that post climax clarity hits, he is gently shifting you, groaning, off of him and shuffling towards your shared bathroom. Sometimes you'll try to get up and return the favor but he will insist that you stay put. Sometimes he'll come back with his camera and take a quick snap of your flushed and spent body on the bed. He'll pull the picture out and set it face down on the nightstand before getting to work, cleaning the sweat and slick from between your legs. If you go to bed afterwards and he's big spoon, he'll nestle his nose into the crook of your neck and whisper sweet little things into your ear until he's near delirious and half asleep. If he's little spoon, you'll massage soft circles on his back. He works so hard, he deserves it!

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Growing up, his weight fluctuated quite a bit so he didn't really have a chance to get comfortable with how any part of his body looked. When you came into his life, he made an effort to be more confident in his body.

But the switch flipped when one night you were cooking something and he went to wrap his arms around you, placing his chin on the top of your head, muttering something about how good dinner smelled. You made an offhand comment about him being such a gentle giant. That became his favorite thing VERY quickly. He loves his tall, stocky stature. He likes making you feel so safe when he's holding you. He likes using it to dominate you in bed but also loves the juxtaposition between his tall build and yours when you dominate him.

On you, he thought your boobs were his favorite. Then he fell asleep on your thighs one night watching television. Now he can't get enough of them. Loves marking them with kisses when going down on you and pressing his fingers into the soft flesh when you have sex. God, he adores them.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He always wants to come inside of you. Anywhere else feels kind of wrong to him unless you lick it up afterwards. He just really likes the idea of getting you pregnant one day, it’s another sign of your utter devotion to him.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Y'all probably saw this one a mile away!! But he steals your underwear occasionally. He likes it when you "accidentally" leave them at his apartment because then he can explain any guilt away by telling himself that you must have left them for a reason. What? He isn't going to let them go to waste! He’ll rub himself into them, pretending that you’re there, encouraging him to finish.

He also keeps one (1) nude polaroid of you in his wallet. If work is especially boring one day, he'll pull it out and it'll reinvigorate him enough to keep working just so he can get to the end of his shift and go home to you.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

You already know he was SUCH a virgin when he met you. He watched porn and learned a little, but I see it making him feel kind of uncomfortable? Like it seems like he would be pretty cognizant of how much acting is involved and doesn't see it as any sort of reliable instruction. He simply does not know anything! So when you guys first start getting more physical, he asks so many questions. He sputters them out in the heat of the moment, eyes doe-like behind his fogged glasses. His willingness to learn just turns you on even more.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Maybe a hot take? Most days he enjoys missionary. When he's a little more submissive, he really enjoys having you ride him. He gets to hold onto your beautiful thighs and gets to look right at you. But if you're both really wanting it, he'll try pushing you against a wall and slowly thrusting into you, the side of your face pressed into the drywall. He'll bring his face close enough to yours that he can hear anything you might have to say.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

No goofs here, folks. Sex is highly personal and special to him. So any time he gets into the mood, he feels like he's putting his whole heart on his sleeve and he can't crack a joke for the life of him. He will giggle though if he's got you unraveling for him. Not because it's funny but because he is SO proud of himself.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Pre-Riddler, Eddie never really thought about his pubic hair that much. He kept it neat but only for comfort really. When you two started having sex, he got a little self conscious, but you assured him that his body hair is just fine. You like him just the way he is. But as soon as he starts committing his crimes, he is clean shaven all the time, baby. Even though he's all bundled up in his suit, he doesn't want there being any chance that he leaves DNA somewhere. It takes you a while to get used to the sight but as soon as he tells you his reasoning and you remark on how clever he is, it's all good.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Eddie wants every time with you to be perfect. He'd had a sex playlist for years at that point but he started personalizing it with more songs that reminded him of you. So of course he awkwardly turns it on almost every time. Having sex with you means more than you will ever know. He never envisioned himself being so intimate with someone, so the fact that you're even willing to let him touch you makes him so dizzy he could pass out.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Before being with you, he jerked off pretty regularly. That only increases when he meets you. He sees it as his own responsibility to take care of himself and that he shouldn't burden you with it just because he's hard. Once you guys start having sex though, that stops. He likes it a lot better when you jerk him off now anyways.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Praise kink! To make him fall to pieces you just gotta tell him he’s a good boy. He always wants to be your good boy. THEE best boy. Especially when you’ve made him come a few times and he’s all fucked out, sweaty, and catching his breath. There, there, you did such a good job for me, honey. You hum contentedly. He’ll happily fall asleep with you petting his hair.

Degradation kink! This lies opposite of the praise kink. You figure it out shortly after you find a pair of your underwear in one of his drawers. The heat that rushes through his body when you’re standing in his bedroom, holding the garment in the air and clicking your tongue at him. You could’ve just asked for one. No need to steal. The disappointment and teasing edge in your voice has his cock straining against his pants. Soon you're twirling your hair and beckoning him over so you can punish him. He's on his knees, humping your leg and eating you out as you tangle your fingers into his soft hair. God, you're such a greedy little whore. You moan as he keeps rutting against your leg.

He catches you looking at his Riddler gloves a little too closely when he comes home one night and he gets an idea. He buys a new pair (because, no, he's not going to think of touching you with the same gloves he uses to murder, he's too nice for that!) and slips them on one night. You're not expecting the smooth leather as he glides his hands down your thighs. Do you like this, sweetheart? YEAH, YOU LIKE IT. The gloves are so thick that they fill you almost immediately. The way you clench around his sweaty, covered hand has him giggling. That’s how you guys begin to incorporate parts of his suit into sex.

And a touch of somnophilia. It’s all about trust. Some nights he’ll lie awake, just staring and your outline covered by the sheet. He can’t help himself from reaching around and slipping his hand between your legs and warming you up. You wake up with your legs trembling and him whispering in your ear. Have a good dream? You don’t answer but he giggles as you lean into his chest and hold onto his arm.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Eddie doesn't like to take unnecessary risks so he won't try anything in public. He's way too nervous. Can guarantee that you've had sex in almost every place in his apartment though. Especially on the couch. Very often you two are just sitting on the couch, watching TV, having a good time when suddenly you look up at him. Maybe he scrunches his nose at something. Or maybe he lets out a little laugh that has your insides fluttering with how much you adore him. You guys make it happen on the couch...like a lot.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

The first time he ever popped a boner around you was when you were watching television at his place. It was a casual date, you'd stopped by mid day with some takeout for lunch. He turned on some Criminal Minds (you told him that you thought he'd like it so you're binging it together now). But he figures out one of the cases before the episode ends and he feels you giggling from your place on his chest. You're so smart. You sound so innocent and so sweet saying it that he loses it and gets hard. You two hadn't talked about having sex yet so he was paralyzed in fear. You noticed it, of course, but ignored it to save him the embarrassment.

This sets the tone for what else motivates him. It can be the most offhand comment but as long as you say it just right, it does something to him DEEP down.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Maybe this is a hot take of mine BUT, I don't believe he would want to hurt you. No knives or anything with blood or other bodily fluids. Like if you want him to restrain you, he'll do it but he'll feel a little bad seeing the red inflamed marks the restraints leave. I just think that he wants to leave the pain and torture to Gotham's scummy elite. He wouldn't want to give you, his perfect angel, that same treatment. You mean everything to him!

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Read someone else who said that they think Eddie would prefer receiving instead of giving because he's afraid of not being any good (I don't remember who I saw this from I am so sorry) and I HEAVILY agree with this. This man grew up in an orphanage and I really headcanon that purity culture was kind of enforced there. Therefore: absolute dogshit sex ed and shame! So he has nO clue how to navigate your anatomy and is kind of afraid of being a disappointment. But! You get to teach him! Which would be kind of annoying, but he's so intuitive and eager to please that it's kind of sweet seeing him try so hard, even if he is a little uncoordinated at times.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Nearly every time he is slow and calculated, keeping a close eye on your every move, every gasp, every whimper. If you really beg him for it, you're in a hurry, or he's in a mood, he will go faster, leaving you a shuddering mess wherever it happens.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Eddie actually loves quickies. They’re little doses of love!! Just so you never ever forget how endlessly grateful he is for you. So yes, sometimes he just wants to pick you up and do you on the kitchen counter. Or he’ll start nipping at your neck while you’re getting dressed in the morning, muttering your perfume smells lovely, dear. You basically have no choice but to let him hold you against the closet door and he thrusts into you lazily.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

I firmly believe he’s willing to try almost anything once. He's so inexperienced that he isn't super aware of the full spectrum of things he might find enjoyment in. So if you're more experimental, he sees this as a fun little couple journey and tries to be enthusiastic even if he's a little nervous.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He has a pretty average stamina. With a little bit of recovery in between he can got two to three rounds. It takes him a while to be able to last, though. The first few times he's done in under a minute and so frustrated with himself until you show him how to use his long fingers on you. That makes him feel a little better for a while. But the first time he actually makes you cum while he's inside of you, he nearly sobbed.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Eddie had nO clue so many different types of toys even existed (clueless sweetheart). So if you enjoy toys and you come home with a new one, he will get curious. He doesn’t like to make a habit out of using toys on you though. It makes him a little too insecure about his own abilities. He gets ESPECIALLY excited when you ask if you can peg him. He won’t want the strap all the time, but it’s often enough that you manage to find an army green colored harness to use and that makes him very pleased.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Since he finishes so quickly sometimes, teasing you has become his bread and butter. Almost like a way of making up for the “disappointment.” Sex with Eddie is rarely (if ever) disappointing but he’s just very self conscious that you’ll think less of him if he doesn’t go almost completely overboard focusing on you. He really loves to lick anywhere but your actual clit when he goes down on you. He’ll take his time pressing kisses onto your thighs and gets so close to where you need but pulls away right as his lips are ghosting over the spot. It takes everything in you not to just grab his hair and make him go to town. But it's okay, you tease him just as much (if not more) to compensate for it.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He gets embarrassed making sounds. He thinks he sounds so stupid. It made him think back to the exaggerated sounds he's seen porn actors do and how fake that all seemed to him. But it doesn't escape him how heavily you praise him when he lets a few groans slip out of his throat. So he lets the insecurity go a little and makes more sounds, just to hear the praise and just so you know he's enjoying himself too.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Eddie loves to watch! He doesn't like being cucked, of course. He just loves when you're sprawled out on his bed, fucking yourself and gasping his name, begging him to just come over and touch you. But he'll stay put, breathing hard and edging himself until you finally cum on your own fingers. It can get a little eerie the way he stares and breaths raggedly, laser focused on the jerks of your hips and chest. But he sees it as you being at your most vulnerable. Crumbles at how comfortable you feel doing something so private, so openly with him right there. Of course he'll want to suck your fingers clean afterwards.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Some of y'all might hate me for this bUT, I think he is average sized. Probably around three inches flaccid but five when hard (very much a grower, not a shower). When he still has it, his pubic hair is pretty dense, curly, and chestnut colored.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Depending on the kind of day he's having it fluctuates. Like if you both don't have to work he is totally down with just lazing around the apartment all day and having various little trysts every few hours. But if work is frustrating him, sometimes he'll only have the energy to go once when he gets home.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Sex definitely leaves him feeling a little dazed. If you go at it in the middle of the day, he goes about the rest of the day with this goofy smile sprawling across his face and looks at you with those adoring eyes. If you're curled up on the couch together afterwards, he may slip into a little nap. If you're in bed though, it's lights out for him.
