|| Cassian occupies more of my thoughts than he should tbh
|| warnings: mate!cassian, uhh pretty much pwp, oral (fem receiving), piv unprotected sex (make informed choices, kids!), maybe I got a little wine drunk when i started this last night but hey sinful sunday am i right, inappropriate usage of a couch and a library, finger sucking
Tumblr media
He's doing it on purpose.
You're sure that he is ㅡ the drag of his fingers up and down your leg is slow and intentional, and it's making it increasingly hard to focus on the book you've been trying to read.
Keyword: trying.
By the third pass of his fingertips against the inside of your thigh, you've read the same paragraph six times ㅡ and you exhale. "Cassian."
His answer is a drowsy hum and the lift of his head from where he's pillowed against your stomach. "What?"
You wonder if he knows what he's doing ㅡ perhaps not, because the drowsiness in his eyes suggests he'd almost been asleep. The way he's sprawled out over you can hardly be the most comfortable, but the lax fold of his wings says that he's been content.
You find it in yourself to feel a little bad for bothering him and he hums again when you slip your fingers into his hair and scratch lightly at his scalp.
Cassian's expression reminds you of a pleased cat, and part of you expects him to start purring. Instead, he's a little more awake as he nudges his chin against your stomach. "Is that book good?"
You blink, eyes flicking to the book, the pitiful amount that you've read, and then you shrug. "I guess so."
"Not an encouraging statement," Cassian says, eyes gleaming as he adjusts how he's settled over you. "What's it about?"
Mother damn it all. Cassian watches as you struggle to come up with an answer. "Well," you say lamely, "I haven't read much of it, so..."
"You've been here for hours," Cassian points out. "Normally you'd have been done with that book and onto the next."
"Doesn't help when I have a breathing blanket on me," you huff, cheeks hot. "You keep touching me and it's distracting."
You realize your mistake the second the words leave your lips, teeth clicking together as Cassian's eyes gleam with a darker, predatory light.
"Oh," he almost purrs as he moves further up, caging you in as he looms over you. "I'm distracting, am I?"
You don't need to look at his pupils to know they're blown wide with lust, the knead of his fingers at your hips and the stiff press of him against your thigh.
"Want to see how distracting I can be?"
"We're in public," you protest, and he laughs quietly.
"Not really."
"This is the library," you whine, and he grins.
"You think Rhys or Az haven't done things in here before?" Your hips jerk underneath him, and he pinches at your skin with a growl. "You better not be imagining either one of them."
Heat unfurls in your lower belly, stoked coals that ignite as you arch against him, pressing into the upward wander of one of his hands to your breast. He palms it, and you exhale a soft moan.
"And if I am?"
It's a challenge, one you know is going to get you in trouble as Cassian almost snarls against your neck and nips hard enough that you cry out.
"Then I'll have to remind you who you should be thinking about then, hm?"
Tumblr media
If someone were to walk in, there's absolutely no way they wouldn't know what you're doing. For starters, the smell of arousal is sharp in the air ㅡ the second is that you're bare from the waist down, legs on either side of Cassian's head, pressing into the plush cushion of the couch as he grips your hips and fucks his tongue into you like a man possessed.
And he may as well be for the skilled work of that slick muscle inside you, the noises you fight to stifle into your arm as he bumps your clit with his nose.
"Fuck, Cass," you whine, and you tense when he laughs against your slick, aching core, kitten licks that have you groaning and fighting to cant your hips down against his face.
He allows you the tiny victory of his tongue back against your folds, licking in earnest now as you pant and muffle your moans into the couch cushion.
He doesn't need to feel the pleasure rolling down your end of the bond to know how you're feeling, the little hitched breaths and shuddering gasps more than enough to have him palming himself to your sounds, lapping at your abundant slick with a groan of his own.
But your mate has never been particularly patient when you sound like that, too eager to have his cock inside you to let you finish on his tongue. He soothes your whine of frustrated protest with a kiss that tastes like you, lets you lick into his mouth as he works his pants down enough to free his length.
"Ride me," he huffs against your mouth, nipping at your jawline as he coaxes you back, legs settling on either side of his hips as he positions himself against you. He growls at the way your eyes flutter when the blunt tip of him nudges at your entrance, teeth digging into the meat of your shoulder as you sink down onto him.
There's a brief moment of heavy breathing as you adjust, the clench of your walls making him tense further as he fights to not simply flip your position ㅡ and then you're moving, the undulation of your hips making Cassian's head tip back against the decorative couch pillow with a moan.
"Shh," you murmur unsteadily as you bounce in his lap. "Do you want them to hear us?"
It's the wrong thing to say because Cassian's eyes light with challenge, cock twitching inside you before he bucks up and you curl, hand slapped to your mouth to keep from keening.
It doesn't take much to switch your position, his wings stretching out a little to help balance him as he presses you beneath him.
"You're the one who's loud, sweetheart," he says, grinning as the deep, deliberate grind of his hips into yours has you arching, teeth digging into your bottom lip.
"Cass," you manage when he slings one of your legs higher against his hip to sink a little deeper into you. "Cass, please, I can'tㅡ"
"Love hearing you beg," Cassian murmurs. "My pretty baby, can't have everyone hearing how good I make you feel, hm? Your noises should be just for me."
The slip of his fingers into your mouth is familiar, the obedient part of your lips that darkens his eyes further as you dig your teeth into the tip of his index.
"Don't be a brat," he warns, though the threat is ruined for the way he grunts when you clench around him. "Little vixen," he hisses as he resumes the movement of his hips.
You hum around his digits, flattening your tongue against them as he thrusts into you harder. The couch frame creaks a little in protest beneath you but you can't bring yourself to care, especially not when Cassian tugs his fingers free of your mouth in favor of rubbing a spit slick finger against your clit.
It's sheer will that you don't scream at the contact, arching as he works tight circles against the swollen bud, groaning as you clamp around him erratically. "Come on baby," he huffs, "wanna feel you soak my cock. Can you do that for me?"
Your answer is the dig of your teeth into his shoulder as you come, making him hiss as you tighten and pulse around him. He isn't far behind you though, hips flush to yours as he spills into you with a low moan before collapsing over you.
Chest heaving, you tug at one of the loose locks of dark hair. "Can't believe you got me to do this with you, you menace."
Cassian lifts his head, giving you a grin that sends your heart skipping a beat. "You love me."
Your fingers thread into his hair. "Yeah," you say, "I do." His expression softens before he's leaning up for a soft kiss ㅡ and then the moment is ruined by the horribly familiar voice of your High Lord ringing in your head.
I hope the two of you plan on getting a new couch for the library.

Httyd AU exchanges #014
Hiccup: Okay, I don't really wanna do this either but Gobber insists that we really need to work on our teamwork. Hiccup: So, let's work on something we don't usually do and talk each other up; appreciate each other's better qualities. Tuffnut: Ugh, talk about feelings? Really? Ruffnut: This is lame. Snotlout: You said it. I'm outta here.
The twins and Snotlout get up to leave...
Jamie, clearing his throat: Gobber said anyone that weasels out has dragon stable duty for a week.
The twins and Snotlout begrudgingly sits back down...
Hiccup: Okay, how about we just start with saying one nice thing about the person next to us? Tuffnut: Jack is right next to you; that's too easy and it's unfair. Jack, rolling his eyes: Well, who should I sit next to? Almost everyone: Snotlout. Jack and Snotlout: WHAT! Hiccup: Well, it's technically unanimous... Sorry snowflake, you gotta. Snotlout: Ugh. Jack: Ruffnut's right, this is lame. *he gets up and sits next to Snotlout* Hiccup: Well, guess I'll start then. Fishlegs, checking who he's next to: So you gotta say something nice about Snotlout? Jack, jokingly: Apart from his absence, of course, because that much is obvious. Snotlout: Hey! Hiccup: Jack, that's defeating the point of the activity. Astrid: I think this should start with Jack and Snotlout, since you both bicker so much. Hiccup: Uhh... *gesturing towards the twins currentlly trying to poke each other at the eye* Astrid, waving her hand dismissively: That's also how they get along; and they're related. Jack: Jeez, if it's just to get this over with... Snotlout's good quality is that he's loyal. He can be a coward at times.... Snotlout: HEY! Jack, ignoring that because he expected it: But Alvin the Trecherous or Dagur could have him at knife point, yet he'd never turn his back on Berk. Snotlout: Snotlout: Wow, uh, that's... Jack: Please don't thank me. Jack: It'll make this whole thing cringier than it already is. Hiccup: Okaaaay... Snotlout, you go. Snotlout: Um... Snotlout: Jack... Snotlout: ... Has a nice smile? I guess? Jack: Hiccup: Astrid: Jamie: Tuffnut: Ruffnut: Fishlegs: Snotlout: ... Er, not enough? Uh... His eyes are kinda pretty, too? Jack: Jack, blushing: Hiccup: WHY ARE YOU BLUSHING?! Jack: What?! I can't help it, he's complimenting me; it's a reflexive reaction! Tuffnut: Now it's cringe-y and awkward.

off topic uhh.. big complaint that i thought of reading the earlier post of tf2 dad stuff, it's odd how Pyro and Scout are simplified into almost children if you take my meaning. For example while Scout has a low reading ages he's able to replicate pretty good comic-style esc art, is an adult dealing with the lack of an absent father figure possibly being reintroduced into his life who is hard to get along with, and is a hired mercenary. Pyro on the other hand, while having pyrovision, seems to be aware of that fact given they know what fire is despite never being able to see it in pyrovision. Paired with them obviously being a mercenary hired to kill with the fact they apparently built their own flamethrower, I personally don't think it's impossible that Pyro's a sadist either. Not that I want them to be edgy grrr bark bark mercs by any means since that sucks, it'd just be cool if both sides of the characters could be included in those characters. sorry forr the long rant
No yeah ur definitely right! I think the bit at the end is important LMAO, I think it's equally reductive to be like "no guys Scout tf2 is a SUPER BADASS he's HARDCORE he is NOT LAME!" One of my favorite posts of mine goes pretty deep into how annoying (and oftentimes sexist and homophobic) I find a lot of the "insisting that no actually none of the tf2 men can ever do anything cute or funny bc they're Badass Hardened Killers" posturing to be. Scout tf2 is a grown man who makes his own decisions, and he's lame and immature. That's literally his character. Drawing pictures of a guy you don't like being hit by a car is immature. Chasing after a girl who's not really all that interested in you is immature. Investing all of your money in 12 cubic yards of Tom Jones Funko Pops is immature. However, TONS of adult men in real life, Scout's age and older, do all this shit and are still adults. Sometimes adults are kinda immature! It happens
This isn't getting into like, the specific ableism in portraying Pyro, a character who has delusions and cannot speak, as "basically a child" or whatever. I've talked abt this at length on here LMAO so I'm not going to exhaust the topic, but it is Extremely prevalent in a lot of fan content and it bothers me a lot lmao

Jake had to leave fairly early, and that afternoon Aiden invites Tony over. After she gets there, he immediately flops down on the couch again.
A: You didn't miss much at Prom. It was pretty lame. Somehow I got Prom King though. I'm so confused by that.
Tumblr media
T: Soo... If it was lame, why are you acting like you danced all night?
Aiden blushes and clears his throat a little.
A: Jake and I, uh.. had our own party.
T: Hang on. Wait. Back up. So you and he..?
A: Yep. Not to kiss and tell, but we were up LATE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
T: Daaaamn. How're you feeling about that?
A: Mmm. I am sore in ways I didn't know I could be sore. I still want Jake to come back so I can climb him like a tree.
T: Hah! Well I guess now you have a lot more inspiration for your sketches.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A: Tony, you don't even know. Jake's always been hot. Like, WAY out of my league hot. But last night, he was.. something else. Sexy doesn't even cover it.
T: Damn. Who knew, he seems so wholesome. Because we're besties, I'm gonna ask. Were you safe?
A: Yes. Every time.
Tumblr media
A: Subject change, before I embarrass myself. How was your night?
T: Ugh, lame. I did find this hot guy's Simstagram account. He posts pictures of him and his boyfriend. Why are gay guys so hot?
A: I have no answer for you. Most hot guys I know of are straight. I wanna see.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
T: uhh.. look, see? They're both total beefcakes!
A: Uh. Wow. They just.. put that out there. If this is your type, I get why Jake's not your type.
T: What can I say? I like big and hairy. Give me a big ol' teddybear any day. And here, this guy!
Aiden only blushes. Damn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
T: So... I gotta ask. You and Jake are pretty serious. Are you both going to college?
A: Jake is. He's trying to get a football scholarship. Eh, but not me. I don't think it's my thing.
T: What are you two gonna do?
A: I don't know!
Tumblr media
A: Jake is more of an in-the-moment kinda guy. I'm trying not to look too far ahead because I WILL freak out. I feel like I just found him though, I don't want to lose him. Maybe I'll try and find a place in Britechester?
T: Didn't you just move in here? You'd move again?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A: Yes! This place is nice, but it's... it's too much for me, I think. Too big, too fancy. I miss Jake's house. It was.. cozy. It felt like home.
T: But then you have his parents to deal with. You know, you could just take some art classes. You're good. You could.. branch out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A: I don't know, I don't think I'm that good. I might die if my stuff was ever put on display.
Tony can think of quite a few people who would like Aiden's work. The internet exists afterall.
T: That's why you take classes! Maybe you'll find another style you like.
A: Maybe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A: Oh! Btw, what are you doing for Winterfest? I have something for you, should I just bring it to school?
T: You.. you got me a present?
A: Well. Yeah. We're best friends, right?
T: Oh.. yes! I didn't get you anything.
A: You're my friend and you listen. That's all I need.
Tumblr media
Tony is not always good with the touchy feeling and she half pouts, half grumbles at him.
T: You're such a sap, Aiden.
Aiden shrug, he knows that already. He steps in to hug Tony.
A: Yeah. Maybe. I've just been alone most of my life, Tony. I know how to appreciate friendship.

Previously a few weeks before the date
It was the Finales party for everyone who passed at the La Brisa Gala Gallery, For JJ that was the best opportunity to confess to his middle school crush,but things took a bad turn for JJ and long story short he was heartbroken. Varina who saw the whole thing that it wasn't going to let him go out like that and so when in the halls to find a crying JJ on the floor without missing a beat she knew what to do for him.
Tumblr media
"Sorry for your little um... incident there...I ah."
*Sniffles* It fine *Sniffes* I know it wouldn't work out.
"Here I figure you need this."
*Hand JJ a tissue
Thanks*sniff*🤧
"JJ, I'm so sorry that-
"I..She was... Sh!t i was..I just thought she would be happy or have feelings for me at least."
"Guess she right, I was just dumb to assu-"
"Hold on! I know that you can be dull and bias intelligence and socially but you are not dumb for showing your feelings for someone to hurt you that way. "😠
"And I see- NO! I know that what she has no f##king say about you being at a prestigious party? My guy I can tell you half of the place is decorated by stuff that was here two years ago or something minus the chandelier and the buffet and for what I tell you half of year ago she was caught for cheating on one of her texts and I heard rumors that she was cheating on her last boyfriend with Shane George in the Lanes Loin mascot costume and they would both in the costume."
"Hmm😣
"What I'm saying is that you too good for her JJ, she just a pretty face with a ugly heart, spoiled, unconsiderate, lazy, floozy b!cth who think about nothing but herself and she's the dumbest one here.😒
*😞
"JJ I know about having to telling you're own feelings to someone but if they show you something truly different, they're not worth crying for than."
"Plus people change thought time and theirs no choice if they show you a differentiate or not, that doesn't make differences on what you do forward."😔☝🏻
"You think so? *sniff*
"I know so J, I mean you're one of sweet, caring, honest, cutest loyal person I ever met and she isn't coming up with a princes let's she want something out of them."
"I guess your right."
"Thanks VV🥺
*Lay her head on his shoulder
*Sighs "Your welcome J, I just hate seeing people getting stamped on for show themselves."
"Also one thing?"
"Yes?"😏
"Did you just called me Cute?!?"
"Wha...No I ..I was just.. Um..You Ah I!?!?!"
*Cartoonishly fastly stands up*
"Pff, Let go get ice cream or something this lame party food stuck anyway."
"Uhh but I thou-?"
"Come on already!"
(Ha she's firery ain't she.😏 )
**Gets up walking beside Varina to the exit**

I haven't really made a post going into my thoughts on Sonic Superstars yet but I think they're pretty brief so ig I'll do that now, full game spoilers and all that.
I think the base story mode is pretty alright, levels have nice enough theming and some fairly interesting gimmicks, the length is enough to easily replay the thing in a single sitting which I love in my 2D Sonic, the levels that make you play as a certain character are really good opportunities to let the level designers build something specifically for that character which is really nice, also a good opportunity to add some variety to a playthrough if you've not been switching characters on your own time (switching on your own time is also great btw). The pacing is pretty off though, most zones have 2 acts but some have 3 and there's a regular zone just in the middle of the game with only 1 act, it can feel downright random whether an act is gonna end in a boss fight or not, and there's even a schmup stage in there since I guess that's a thing Sonic games love now. I definitely think the stages are more hits than misses but there are absolutely zones I wish I saw more of and zones I wish I saw less of, and I really don't imagine myself looking forward to a few of them on a replay.
Really hate the boss fights, there's a few solid ideas for some of them and they're definitely the most elaborately designed boss fights in any of the classic styled games, but they take so fucking long and have such ridiculously long invincibility frames (the animation for which ends several full seconds before you can damage them again btw so that can feel cheap and impossible to meaningfully read), and other than like one or two of the Chaos Emerald abilities you can't really do anything to speed them up, which just feels lame. Conventions of game design suggests this might be better than bosses where you just spam 8 hits on them before they can even get an attack out but at least those bosses don't test my patience in a game about going fast.
I think the new special stages are okay, it's nice that they're a wholly new concept and you definitely can play skillfully and beat them super duper quickly, as well as do micro-decision making in terms of oh chase the Emerald or potentially lose time grabbig rings, it's neat, buuuuut they're just not really very fun lol. I did play bonus stages early on and they mimick the Sonic 1 special stages but the physics are so different that I couldn't get used to them. Oh well. The reward for bonus stages, as well as some special stages depending on the ring type, as well as most exploration in general, is medals, which are used to customise your character for the battle mode (this character also appears as a boss in the story mode which is actually cool as fuck since hey if you wanna give yourself a Metal Knuckles boss fight or something you can), and like they can feel decently rewarding to collect until you realise it's an absolute fucking grind to actually get enough of them to really buy anything in bulk in said character customisation thing, especially because for some reason if you buy something in there you don't just have it now, they're like limited resources, if I buy red and use it on the arms then I am now out of red, gotta grind to buy more, gotta buy red like 4 or 5 times to make my Metal Knuckles. It's lame. In general I think medals are only really rewarding if you actually intend to do multiplayer stuff, which I don't not get, but I wish they were good for single player too. I mean hey the game has character skins, why not let you get some of those with medals? Nah kill yourself dude character skins are for preordering the game or buying digital deluxe or signing up for newsletters or shit. Trip doesn't even get any. I think skins could be a pretty rewarding game system if they were implemented as such but instead it's just a "did you spend more money" check. Lame.
Uhh, Chaos Emerald powers. They're okay. I think they're a solid enough idea to add some more depth to a classic Sonic game and let it stand out from others, and they're generally still simple enough to fit what you'd expect from the design philosophies of these games. But they're also largely pretty situational, and a few of them I may as well have never even used. The game does prompt you to use the less useful one sometimes which is neat, like oh hey you designed the section with this ability in mind, let's see how it works out. And that's kinda fun. But I could take them or leave them. It seems like you can only get one Chaos Emerald per zone which I do think sucks, since it means hey here's an ability you won't get until near the end of the game and so can't really take advantage of it on your first playthrough at all, which is just a bit boring. You also can't switch abilities while using them and they're all on a countdown, so if I like accidentally use vine then I just can't use another ability I'd actually want to use until like 10 seconds later, which is a bit annoying. Super forms not being able to use the other Chaos Emerald powers also feels like a missed opportunity to make them feel really powerful. Oh well. On that note I hate Super Trip btw, she takes the form of a large dragon who just does not interact with the rest of the game in a fun way, she has her own control system that's just really cheap feeling directional flight with no physics and that moves super slowly. She can skip platforming and stuff by way of flying, but she'll also break out of automation and you need to find your way back into said automation. Just feels actively less fun and not even a satisfying power Trip (HA) for the gameplay sacrifices.
On Trip though, I like her as a playable character enough. Also as an actual character in that she is very cute. But as a playable character she has a nice double jump and can stick to walls and ceilings and roll across them which is nice. Once you beat the story mode and unlock her I recommend going through it again with Trip this time. I don't recommend doing Trip's Story, which is all the worst stereotypes of classic Sonic design fully realised. Were you going too fast and couldn't see that enemy? Get hit asshole. Was there no conveyance about whether that jump is safe to make? Die asshole. Are there spikes literally fucking everywhere? Get pricked asshole. "Sonic is inherently bad because you move too fast to react to oncoming obstacles" has always been a criticism of the series I've felt was in bad faith and isn't even reflected in any of the classic titles, and yet here we are with Trip's Story doing all of it. There's just so much enemy and spike and bottomless pit spam right out the fucking gate, it doesn't feel like an actual difficulty spike either it just feels like a troll level. It is actively frustrating to go through and actively unsatisfying to beat. It's not even like that design philosophy accommodates Trip to begin with so it just feels fucking bizarre. Actually didn't mind the giant robot Fang boss fight but the insta-kill attacks are pretty lame and him getting a "I'm going to smash the stage and make the ground fall" attack at the end of the fight with very poor telegraphing is pretty cringe.
Reward for beating Trip's Story and also that you have all the Chaos Emeralds by now is Last Story, which is a Super Sonic fight against a giant purple dragon. Super Sonic final boss fights are already kinda weird in that they're usually cool as all fuck as setpieces but from a gameplay perspective make you learn a new style in the final hour which is pretty questionable, but I'd say they're usually familiar or intuitive enough to be acceptable and certainly a fair level of challenge, moreover the player usually has good control over the pacing of these fights, such that you can get actually get better at them and do them faster and with a higher finishing ring count, stuff like that. I say all this because that last part just isn't true for Superstars' Super Sonic final boss. Rings basically appear at fucking random so good luck feeling like you've got any control over the timer, which wouldn't strictly be a huge deal but the thing is the boss only has 2 attacks per phase in which you can actually deal damage to him and yet has like 6 attacks in the first place as well as things that are not attacks at all but are full animations he does just for the hell of it during which you can't damage him. And these attacks don't hurt you either since you're Super Sonic. So the boss, naturally, consists largely of waiting. Waiting through attacks there's literally no incentive to dodge until you can get to the point where you do attack him. Rinse and repeat. You won't ever feel like you're getting better, just that you're getting luckier. The boss didn't do this attack on this run. Tails flew by with rings more often. Your game didn't bug and freeze you in the death animation and render you invisible for a time this attempt. And hey, if you do fail, gotta sit through the whole like 6-8 minute fight again. It's bad. It is actively unfun. Doesn't feel cool, doesn't feel rewarding, narratively it's barely anything, for some reason Amy doesn't get to appear even though Tails and Knuckles do, it's just shit and a test of patience. Much as I don't like the bosses in the rest of the game I can at least say "well they are built for multiplayer so maybe that's why they take so long" but the final boss is a single player only gig so that defence doesn't even work. It just sucks.
I think the game looks nice enough on platforms that run it fine, unfortunately I'm on Switch. The music is either pretty good or really bad depending. I haven't played couch co-op yet but I did an online battle mode run and it's like, not the most bare-bones thing in the world but I also cannot even imagine being able to get invested into it. Greatest credit I can give it is giving us designs for Metal Tails and Metal Amy, and even throwing in a Metal Trip for the hell of it and fucking Metal NiGHTS too, badass. I'd like to see Trip again.
Maybe like, 6/10, or 6.5 or something. Doesn't really compare to any of the games it's emulating and certainly not to Mania, but it's still decent fun for the main story mode and they are trying to do new stuff. There's already rumours it'll be getting DLC, I have no strong feelings on this one way or the other. Playable Mighty and Ray wouldn't be bad though. Penis chat.

could you talk about what you think of Stone Ocean so far (not sure if you have finished it yet but what are your thoughts on it)
i have not finished stone ocean!
to be honest, i think it's one of the better parts, even if the pacing is very messy, almost as bad with part 5's (sorry). jolyne is genuinely a very intriguing character, someone who starts off.. not exactly whiny? but definitely becomes more mature as the story progresses. her and stone free are very well-matched in terms of story meaning ^_^ which i think is one of araki's biggest strengths.
just being honest here; pucci is a better antagonist than dio. admittedly dio is not as serious as a villain as people act like, but seriously. i barely know anything about pucci besides the inference that he got whitesnake when he was young, so dio brought him into his cult, similar to kakyoin, though obviously sans fleshbud. even being such a manipulative guy, he seems to honestly be doing what he sees as best for the world, which is a nice change of pace from other villains. there's probably some deep bibilical subtext that i'm missing from him, though, and i hope araki talks more about him. very intrigued. go on jeopardy king <3
hermes.. oh sweet sweet hermes.. her disappearance after the kiss of love & revenge pisses me off. unlike kakyoin, who was more minor in the crusaders, hermes received good character development, an established personality, and a creative, realistic dynamic with both jolyne and foo. i literally do not understand why she has been written out for so long. i HOPE she comes back next, but jeezus, do i miss her.
foo fighters is perfect i cannot type about them without crying just know how angry i am about their waste of death that contributed.. nothing? to the story. like at all. if anyone can tell me why f.f.'s death was needed for so to progress i will give them actual fucking money.
emporio is a very interesting take on the "helpful child" character for me and i live in fear of anything worse happening to him. genuinely hoping that araki elaborates on his early life; how did he survive in the prison before weather? was weather there for longer? tell me things about him.
weather report is such an obvious hook for a plot i kinda can't say anything i just have to sit there and wait.
in terms of villains.. it's kinda hilarious how so far all the decent/good/deranged ones have been women and all the lame dweebs have been men. i honestly forget the names of everyone who isn't gwess, miraschon, miu miu, or sports maxx. i only remember sports maxx bc he's actually Threatening and Important, and because when i innocently asked my mother what limp bizkit was she went on a tirade about how much they suck, and played me a cover of "faith" by them which proved her point. i'm pretty sure he and miu miu are related because they're both blond with fucked eyebrows.
uhh running out of things to ramble about.. oh wait stands!
i've heard that some of the stand abilities are too strange, but i disagree. the only one this applies to is dragon's dream, which is probably just because it's hard to communicate that through just illustration. otherwise, the abilities are creative and bonkers, with even the simpler ones being used super creatively. i've always thought that araki can make even the blandest power somewhat interesting; in any other show, i doubt stone free/turning yourself into string would be used in such versatile ways. it would probably be relegated to long-range attacks at best. however, i do find a lot of them needlessly complicated design-wise. random spikes and shapes adorn them, which is annoying to look at sometimes. i do love how some of them, like green green grass, yo-yo-ma, and foo fighters (<3) look like little creatures, beasts even.
also anasui is one of the worst characters araki has written, he has none of the weird girl swag and all of the freakiness of yukako, made worse by being guilty of murder. when pucci-as-weather almost killed him i actually cheered. even his design can not save him. i do not understand why anyone likes this man unironically (calling him your horrible blorbo is okay but actually thinking he's cool and a good character ? 🤨 what)
ok i am done thank you for the ask ^_^

Vriska Serket, Tavros Nitram

AT: uMMM, mAYBE,
AG: Everyone always wants to do things the 8oring way.
AG: Didn't we make a truce, Tavros? That we would try to 8e less 8oring from now on?
AG: You don't want to 8reak your truce with me, do you Tavros?

AT: mAYBE YOU COULD COLOR THEM, wITH FUN COLORS,
AT: sO YOU WON'T THINK THEY'RE BORING AND GET ANGRY AT ME SOME MORE,
AG: I 8uilt that ramp 8ecause we were in a hurry to save your life, remem8er?
AG: A dead Tavros is even more 8oring than an alive and crippled Tavros 8y a slim margin.
AG: My stair structure is lovely and I'm not changing it.
AG: Now hop out of your wheel device and get clim8ing!!!!!!!!
AT: uHH,
AT: cLIMBING,

AG: Oh my god that is a gr8 idea. Once again, leave it to Vriska to come up with the cre8tive solutions.
AT: i WOULDN'T REALLY,
AT: WANT TO MAKE THEM DO THAT,
AT: i JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, wHY,
AT: wE CAN'T DO THIS THE EASY WAY,
AG: What good would that do you?
AG: Whatever the purpose of this game is, it makes you work hard for it!
AG: That way you 8ecome stronger along the way and you are 8etter prepared for whatever's next.
AG: Remem8er when we used to flarp together???????? It was the exact same principle. And that's why you were always outmatched! You were too soft and not well prepared.
AG: Nothing comes easy, Tavros. That is why we go through the trials in the 8rooding caverns when we are young.
AG: To make sure we are strong when we come out!
AG: Do you remem8er the trials, Tavros?
AT: nOT VERY WELL, nO,
AG: Well, I do, and they were a 8itch.
AG: 8ut now that I think a8out it, it would make perfect sense if your trials were really easy 8y some mistake.
AG: That is why you are such a soggy phlegm sponge, and why you got picked 8y such a sad, frail little lusus!
AT: }:(
AG: 8ut that's ok, it pro8a8ly wasn't your fault. Just a 8ad 8r8k!
AG: You're lucky you have me as a server player, so I can challenge you and help you get strong.
AG: Now hop out of that seat and get clim8ing! I will deliver the device to you once you are at the top.

AG: You don't need help from your lame 8ull fairy. He is only holding you 8ack.

AG: God. Pathetic.
AG: This is getting frustrating.
AG: Why did I have to get stuck with the cripple? Just my luck.
AG: Do you have any idea how inconvenient this is? Do you have any sympathy for what I'm dealing with here?
AT: uHH,

Wedding crack
Lan: bye you two, we're off
Mega: where are you two going?
Roll: and without us?
Mayl: we're off to taste cake samples.
Lan: and since you two don't have taste buds we thought we could do this without you
Mega: just cause we can't taste it, doesn't mean we don't have eyes Lan
Roll: yeah! Let's help you two pick out a great cake design or decor for it
Mayl: ehm
Lan: I don't know. You two kinda went nuts last time we spoke of wedding cakes.
Mayl: we don't want or need a big ten layer cake.
Mega: we can stick with a three layer cake
Roll: we won't insist on you getting anything bigger. Honest.
Lan and Mayl were skeptical, but let them come along. They just hoped they could keep their word and not turn into "bridezillas" over a cake
Mayl: What do you think of this one? I like the butter cream
Lan: Yeah it tastes smooth, add it to the list
Mega: …
Roll: …
Lan: What?
Mega: What do you mean what?
Lan: You two are making a face
Roll: N-No we’re not…
Mayl: Okay, spill, what’s the problem?
Mega: It’s just…you have tried a handful of cakes
Roll: And Lan likes them all!
Lan: Well yeah, they’re all good cakes
Mega: But it can’t just be taste! How do they look! Is that something you want for your wedding?
Lan: Why would I care about the look as long as it tastes great?
Roll: Lan, please, don’t think entirely with your stomach! Mayl, which of these cakes do you think are appealing?
Mayl: Uhh well…
Roll: Hmm?
Mayl: I…well, to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t mind just a white cake with this butter cream frosting. And we can decorate it with some fruit like cherries and oranges to give extra flavor, you know? Maybe the bakers can do some flowers made of sugar or frosting, but I'm afraid that might be too much...
Lan: It won't be too much. I like it! We should do that!
Roll: I like the decoration plan, but you’re still gonna do tiers right? Like we talked about? It won't just be a simple sheet cake right? Right?
Mayl: Well, yes, we can do the tiers, but it doesn’t have to be really tall. After all, we aren't going to have a lot of guests--
Mega: And are you sure you don’t want to do different flavors for each layer too? You really just want only a white cake?
Mayl: White is a nice, neutral cake flavor. I think everyone would enjoy that, especially if it's fluffy like the cakes we're tasting here. And doing a different flavor would require the cake layers to be on some kind of podium thing and I don't want to fool with that
Lan: Megaman, if Mayl wants a white cake, then she'll get a white cake. She's in charge of the design, I'm just here to make sure it'll taste great!
Mega: *sigh* I can't get over how simple they're being...
Roll: At least with the way Mayl's describing it, it'll be a pretty cake. I can live with that... Oh, but do you guys want to do a bride and groom topper? They look so cute on the Pintrigue pictures I looked up!
Mayl: No, flowers and fruit will do
Lan: Yeah, those Netopian cake toppers are kinda lame actually
Roll: OTL
Mega: It's fine, Roll, I think wedding cake toppers are really cute! Lan and Mayl just don't have any taste, don't be upset
Lan and Mayl: Our taste is just fine, thank you very much...

i have BRAINROT and i don't want to do homework so here's my ramblings about the jomsvikings in ac valhalla uhh some spoilers for characters you can recruit from ledecestrescire, grantebridge, east anglia, essexe and snottinghamscire but no story spoilers
also i kept talking and now i have opinions on how there should be more long-term romance options in the game because variety is the spice of life so! that's also in this post now!
first of all?? mannequins down by the docks 2/10
in all seriousness, once you recruit characters you literally can't interact with them at all beyond ship stories and that's.. kinda lame? you know how when coelbert is staying in ravensthorpe you can have little conversations with him? something like that for the jomsvikings would already do so much to make them feel more alive. it honestly doesn't even have to be anything fancy, just a few conversations similar to the ship stories, or about how they're getting along with the other residents of ravensthorpe or possibly referencing some story events from their own arcs or others you've completed (vili and his father know the ragnarssons and this is basically never brought up except for halfdan sending a gift during the snottinghamscire arc - WHY is this never brought up i want to know what ivarr and vili thought of each other).
Each character seems to have around 5 ship stories so give them the about same number of conversations, set them on repeat for each time you return to ravensthorpe and they'll already feel much more alive than the soullesss husks lurking on the pier. it wouldn't be for every character, the 4 recruitable characters + bragi and maybe the lieutenant (just give them the save male/female voice and some generic conversations - it can't be worse than they are now they literally do NOTHING)
in an ideal world i'd also swap romance around a little bit. i should probably mention that i'm aroace and usually play that way in my first playthrough but i'm on my second playthrough rn and that includes playing eivor as a character rather than as 'me' if that makes sense. all this is to say on this playthough i am romancing people and since i don't experience attraction i usually go for characters that give me gender envy hence why i've not romanced any women so keep in mind i might be a little biased about who i would have as romance options.
randvi's a great character and i like her a lot but i don't want to romance her - it's kind of weird that there's 3 romancable characters in ravensthorpe but only one you can have an actual relationship with, it's even weirder since there's only one quest to hang out with randvi (as far as i know) but tarben and petra get two each that i won't spoil here. i think making petra + tarben into actual romances like randvi instead of fwb would the player some choice between gender because as it is there's no male romance beyond flings.
perhaps a bit more daring but i'd also make hytham or vili a romance option - probably vili since he's already a 'romance' option + it'd fit well with the trend of eivor having one man and woman they know from norway (vili + randvi) they can romance as well as one man and one woman (tarben + petra) that they met after arriving in england. i'm not ususally a big fan of romance in games so maybe this is just the part of me that really likes tarben and vili speaking but i don't think it could hurt in any way
so. maybe i'm weird for being so focused on the characters in ac games esp since i'm a dude because best i can tell there seems to be a pretty clear split between men and women in terms of focus on gameplay/characters (i have seen very few nb ac fans so i can't speak on that) and wow my favourite part of a game is giving me gender dysphoria now this might be the dumbest thing to ever cause it
anyway i really like most of the ac valhalla characters and i wanna be able to interact with them more
thats my assassins creed rambling done for the week maybe i'll post some art in a bit we'll see

Oh bae grrr don't apologize!! I'm just glad your day was alright, and I hope you get some rest tonight!! My day was okay. I was just in front of my laptop since I had classes, and then I finally finished my slides, and had another leo meeting. My brother was a royal pain in the ass the whole day istg, but I'm fine now :) thanks for asking btw!!
Aww but that's so admirable! Gotta love teachers like that, haha. And I totally get that! That one uni I researched is probably the one I've set my eyes on. I've done EXTENSIVE research on it, so I don't want to set my sights on other places. What about you? Do you have any specifics for your future uni?
ikr?? He's just grandpa Kuroo to me istg. He's also an ENTP, and I vibe really well with ENTP's, so haha I think that'll also be cool.
I AGREE SOMUCH. Shōyō is just such a cute smol bean. He'd be the best little spoon, honestly. i agree thoo, they're all amazing characters, and probably would be so fun to hang out with 😭
that's actually pretty great!! I hope the cases come down to double or single digits soon!
oh nice!! And aaah I've heard A LOT about Russian food, it honestly sounds delicious. (I just love hearing people talk about food and culture. I could read/listen to them for hours istg). And aw that's such a cute story. I'm sure they were all really glad you introduced it to them. Confuzzled tho... Y-you don't like cottage cheese? :O
Yes you should be proud!! Today I was ready to kill my brother, then I saw your message(‼️) and I decided I could let him live a little longer, because I was busy reading it.
Ah yes!! Your country's flag colour too!! Tho the blue is such a pretty shade, it's like a teal? So pretty‼️💖💖💖. The Malaysian flag is just like an off-brand US one 😭🤚
and aw I'm glad I'm right! I only know one other person who has white as their favourite colour, and she's the best (Angel). So maybe both the cool people in my life like white xD my favourite colours are pink and yellow :>
Yes, why wouldn't they be? I cherish anything anyone makes for me, and especially you, because you're truly that special. Love you!! Sleep well, sweet dreams :))
—ari (gone back to signing my name with lame ol' Ari because I'm out of ideas. Also. I'm getting territorial over my nickname because at today's leo meeting there was this other guy also named Ari and we DID NOT vibe well grrr)
Hey hey!!! I know I answered like ... 24 hours late which sucks a lot, very sorry :(( I'm hoping your day went good today too!! Tell me about it?
Oh I'm glad you got the work done! Mind showing me a few slides? I'm curious hehe~ Also I'm going to have to detach your brother's ribs for bothering you, my apologies😁
Yeah!! They really make me feel like there is a reason to keep going. Like, at least to make them go "that's my student!!"😭
Well, since I got all the research done for me, I just mostly did research on what its actually like to be a translator, you know? I read through like 24 articles on both languages I know and I think I'm prepared xD I'm gonna look up the unis my teacher suggested soon though, and probably question some of the students because I'm desperate like that😝 Hopefully that'll pay off
Hehe, yea, the way he acts like he has seen life is adorable in a way. That's so cool though, imagine having the luck to have your personality match your favorite character's😭 I really wish I had an extroversion trait in my mbti xD I'd really need that ..
YES also you saying he'd be a little spoon made me want to cuddle him SO BAD I'm JSJDJWJDJ I want to give him a headpat and squish his little cheeks .....
Not gonna lie, I wish I could spend a year with one character each day. How cool would that be? You get a hang out and maybe learn something new. Then live in pain for the rest of your life because they wont be here anymore but that's nothing to worry about
I really hope so too!! Honestly this has been crazy. And the way everyone still refuses to cover up their nose... sometimes I wonder if it's ok to mock people who got COVID, cuz like, it's not always their fault, but when you saw that person without a mask before and now they're in the hospital, it's kinda funny, in a rude way. I'm an asshole, I know, I'm sorry😔
Yes yes, if you ever get the chance to try it, you should!!! I'm really sure you'll love it. You should try adding ketchup and mayo mix as well! It'll do magic
Oh no, I LOVE cottage cheese (mixed with sour cream and sugar..🥰🤤🤤), I just really hate it when its cooked or baked. Like ... that's it, its warm and so much soggier now. What have you done? You ruined it. Congratulations! You've lost my respect. Well, not you of course, anyone who cooks cottage cheese xD it's like water, it sucks when warm.
Awh what !!!!! That makes me so happy??!?!? I bring you that much joy you pass up on murder ?!?? That's a lethal strike ma'am were getting married again
Yeah!!! I also kinda like the symbolism. And the story. Which is an honor for this whole place because I really dont like this country xD dont ask why~ personal reasons. Though it's so much more peaceful than others, so that's also great hehe. The Malaysian flag is kinda funny now that you call it like that😭😭😭 I still think it looks cool though!! I'd call it "Asia's USA" but that would, uh, be more of an insult, considering the state (see what I did there? Haha states... haha) of the country right now😓
Welp, the purest people like the purest colors xD just kidding, we're all probably chaotic~ at least out of everyone I know, everyone with white as their favorite has done something no normal person would do (ex. One of the color-white-lovers I knew tried stealing 7 shopping carts😐 I really didnt believe him until he showed me the photo of the fine he got.) Pink and yellow are such a good combination🥺🥺 they're like peach and sunset and uhh... PB&J, if that counts? Peanut butter is now yellow, deal with it😔 Anyway they're really pretty, together or not !!! what's your favorite hue?
Daww... you're so sweet... I'm melting🥺🥺😭💕💕 just so you know I also created a separate album for the stuff you drew me <3
I hope you sleep well tonight!!! You deserve it after all♡♡♡
Dawwh😭😭 I know what it feels like. Sometimes people with your name embarrass themselves so much, it makes you embarrassing because you have the same name. It's not the situation you're in, but uh ... another example? xD I could change your tag to "Shortcake🍰💕" if you'd like😝
