List of balance issues in Tri-color Battles

there were so many facets to this being unbalanced i had to make a list.

the clout distribution in the tricolor battles is extremely unbalanced:

winning offense: 6000 (+2500 for each ultra signal gotten, +300 per attempt)

losing offense: 5000 (+2500 for each ultra signal gotten, +300 per attempt)

defense: 3000 + turf + synergy

if even just one of the offensive teams win, the other one also technically wins as well but to a slightly lesser extent (they still get all that clout!). they are still on the winning screen. you can’t fit all 4 players from the defending team onto the screen in addition to the 2 players on the first place offensive team. it’s made to be 4 total players on the screen. one of the offensive teams can come in last in terms of ink turfed, but if the other offensive team comes in first, they automatically get second place. meanwhile, the defending team either gets first place (very hard) or completely loses. no second place, even if they technically turfed more area than last place. it’s all or nothing.

the two offensive teams can choose whether or not to play tricolor battles. the defending team has no choice and the tricolor matches appear at random in the open splatfest battles.

less chance of x10, x100, and x333 battles appearing in the 4v4 open splatfest battles for the defending team due to being in rotation with tricolor battles. since the offensive teams aren’t forced to do tricolor they have better chances of running into the multiplication battles and getting all that clout, which ultimately contributes to winning the splatfest.

ultra signal respawns IMMEDIATELY after it is successfully defended. no cooldown.

the two attacking teams have a bunch of extra turf to ink around the spawn that is largely inaccessible to other teams. the defending team has very little spawn area to cover for a “baseline”/“backup” level of inkage, so the center area can be inked entirely over from both sides.

at least for sturgeon shipyard, there were multiple points of entry for the attacking teams to get into the defending team’s turf but very little routes for the defending team to get into the attacking team’s turf.

the attacking teams only have one real objective: get the most turf inked. getting the ultra signal helps with that and gives them clout, but it’s ultimately to secure more ink. they will *still* get more baseline clout than the defending team even if they don’t bother getting the ultra signal. the defending team has two objectives that cannot happen at the same time: inking the most turf AND ferociously guarding the ultra signal.

you can argue that you can split the defending team into 2 players watching the ultra signal and 2 players inking turf, but it’s not uncommon in splatoon for two players to be splatted at a time, ESPECIALLY when 4 others players are headed for the center. also reefslider exists and can, has, and will splat the defending team in the tiny little center. if those two players holding the center are splatted, which will inevitably happen, it all falls apart and the match is essentially over.

as the defending team, you cannot match with randos and expect to win tricolor battles. you need to bring your A-game every single time and be highly coordinated. even a lot of teams of four who were in calls coordinating were losing.

even experienced rank X players on team scissors were getting bodied, so it’s not a skill issue.

as it turns out, mixing turf war and ranked mode isn’t really a good idea.

from a commenter on reddit: “the ultra signal sprinklers could not be turned off once activated, and the ultra signal could be launched way too easily. one reef slider wipes out the defenders, and the ultra signal is captured before you have even respawned. then the sprinkler activates, and you can maybe, just barely, keep up with its ink output if you have a roller... until you run out of ink, and then have to retreat and do it all over again... i worked with another roller, and we were barely able to hold a portion of one side just against the sprinkler.”

this is minor but while the rock and paper got shiver and frye talking to them during battle, scissors got nothing. just silence.

this is a rundown of why team scissors were getting bombed. also i’m just outlining these issues in one place to compare to if anything changes in the future which it hopefully will.

having 4 players isn’t the advantage it sounds like on paper because you have to split the work of defending the ultra signal and getting the most turf, and those two players holding the signal are inevitably going to be splatted by the 4 offensive players because… it’s splatoon and that happens especially when players are concentrated in one tiny area. therefore, people will say “okay, then have 3 players defending the signal and 1 turfing” but realize that 1 player alone can’t handle defending from both sides of the map at once.

i know tricolor battles are meant to put the winning team at a disadvantage but this is frankly overkill imo. team scissors at halftime was only winning by 1% (if that) so it didn’t really feel like it was even necessary because all the teams were roughly tied. all it did was drag a roughly tied team down into the grave.

i know some individuals may have had fun, but the consensus is that team scissors players did not have fun in the tricolor battles, and there’s a good reason why. what makes something addicting and rewarding is having a chance. that’s why people gamble. i can’t remember the name for it, but in psychology there is a term for the sweet spot where the chance ratio of something happening are super rewarding to the brain. there was no “we may win this time!” to keep me going on team scissors. it just felt like “we’re gonna lose again what’s even the point”, which isn’t conducive to a happy playerbase nor addicting you to splatfests. and certainly not for 6 hours on one of the worst stages for a tricolor battle.

keep in mind wrote this as a blurred general picture, not for the individual rare instances of the defending team pulling through because those are outliers tbh. the overwhelming majority of them are losses, and that’s honestly not fair since it doesn’t feel like your team can be redeemed if you’re in first place at halftime. like you just know your team already lost because of how advantaged the offensive teams are in tricolor battles and that defeats the fun. hence, why people are calling them unbalanced.

this honestly feels some squid game level shit…no pun intended. like that game where the people chose a number and those who chose numbers closer to 1 were the first to try a game in which they will die without other people paving the way first; they are the sacrifices paving the way. this has that same kind of cruelty to it. “oh you’re happy you’re doing good? you like being in first? die”

ok but reinhard x julius would simultaneously be the most hilarious yet tragic pairing of all time. reinhard thinks they met when he was fourteen and julius was sixteen and like yes they did, but julius vividly remembers being ten years old and learning about reinhard and julius was like METAPHORICALLY FROTHING AT THE MOUTH BC REINHARD?? MOST POWERFUL MAN ALIVE?? ILL NEVER MEASURE UP TO HIS LEVEL.... meanwhile reinhards like hahah julius is such a good friend of mine, im so lucky to have him haha we met when we became knights when i was fourteen haha. reinhard sees him as an equal while julius is vividly aware of the Distance between them while joshua is VIVIDLY AWARE OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND JULIUS AND LOATHES JULIUS FOR IT. joshua loathes reinhard too so its like this big giant envy triangle from joshua to julius to reinhard and julius doesnt know about joshua and reinhard doesnt know about julius OR joshua and reinhards so head empty hes like haha julius and joshua are so nice haha. meanwhile joshuas CLENCHING HIS FISTS AND FIGHTING BACK INTENSE RAGE BY GASLIGHTING HIMSELF. hes like haha i love my brother i love my brother i love him so much haha EVEN IF HE HAS HIS HIMBO OVERPOWERED PERFECT BOYFRIEND WHO CAN KILL ANY OF US WITH JUST ONE TOUCH WHILE ALSO PERFECTLY COOKING ANY MEAL IN EXISTENCE....

meanwhile heinkel takes a five extra shots every day on top of the usual bc reinhard and julius clock in at work every day and make lovey dovey eyes at each other EVERYWHERE. joshua and heinkel are going INSANE while julius has a bad case of ace gay person who doesnt know if they wanna Be their crush or if they wanna Be With their crush and Am I Even Having Romantic Feelings? and then theres the crisis of. oh god im not allowed to have this anyway. i have to marry a girl and have kids like a good noble knight. meanwhile reinhard has no idea about any of this, partly bc hes dead inside partly bc of Too Many Powers partly bc of neurodivergence partly bc of also probably being ace partly bc of having to continue the sword saint line.

until one day he has skin to skin contact with julius and is like haha oh whats all these emotions haha? are you okay julius? :,DD and julius promptly decides to NEVER HAVE SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT WITH REINHARD AGAIN. meanwhile felix is pulling his hair out watching all of this unfold. heinkel and joshua have joined forces and are HATING EVERY INCH OF THIS DEVELOPMENT bc they WILL be homophobic only bc its REINHARD AND JULIUS. subaru gets involved in the family drama and julius personally thanks him for clowning on julius’s crush’s dad, who is also julius’s boss. and then reinhard forgets julius even though reinhard was like the MOST LIKELY PERSON to remember julius. and then reinhard’s great great great x100 grandfather vibe checks julius into oblivion. 

and thats the end of reinhard x julius a tragicomedy in several, several parts. 

#reinhard van astrea #julius juukulius #clowns. both of them. #joshua juukulius #heinkel astrea #i have way too many feelings on reinhard x julius. funniest and saddest couple alive. they dont even know theyre a couple but they act like #it. #i stand by my ace spectrum reinhard and julius headcanons. #ALSO WITH ANY JULIUS X ANOTHER GUY PAIRING. REID GOING HAH youre gay. IS GONNA BE TRUE. #EVEN WORSE IF ITS WITH REIDS LITERAL DESCENDANT.... #the hilarity of heinkel being at work and then suddenly reinhard and julius get caught holding hands (soooo scandalous) and he'll be RAGING #WHAT DO YOU MEAN REINHARD HAS A CRUSH ON THE F I N E S T OF KNIGHTS. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. hes immediately homophobic purely bc its #reinhard and the other most famous knight. #joshua is like one of those anime little siblings thats going INSANE bc their older sibling now has a partner #hes gonna be like NII SAMA CHOSE REINHARD OF ALL PEOPLE??? THAT PRETENTIOUS FUCKING PRICK???? #THE LITERAL SWORD SAINT???? URGHGHGHGHGH. #maybe i should start a tag just for my rambling... #arc 5-6 spoilers... #rezero #and its like.... julius and reinhard can relate to having Expectations to follow... family expectations. societal expectations. the pressur #to be refined and perfect and good. #and the importance of Your Name.... #the importance of upholding family legacy.... #and theyve both known loss from a young age thats for sure. #and they both cast large shadows on others... especially their own family. #they had to mature too quick...... #and. of course. julius being the tender age of ten and meeting reinhard CHANGED HIS LIFE.

Heads up about the safeship creator everyone, they refuse to provide accessibility to screen readers despite being asked to multiple times & is generally ableist. Below are some screenshots + a transcript of a really long paragraph rant went on.

Context: An anon asked her to stop using ! and 0s to censor proship related things. This was her response:

Context: The same anon sends another ask that the OP screenshotted. (I cannot find the post as it seems she either deleted it or Tumblr's search feature is funky)

Their response is copied + pasted below. Content warning for NSFW mentions, sexual harassment (of the anon), and guilt tripping.

Listen dude i do know better you fucking insufferable misinformed prick. I myself need readability accessibility with ny fucking aphasia that is only getting worse. I already know firsthand how little people give a shit about this stuff becuz i need it. I already have difficulty writing legibly okay. And i get a lot of shit over this disability that i dont deserve. I made this fucking tag to help others to the point that i dont even block the few people weve had problems with so that even if i have to sed it at least the tag will work well for others. So if i have to put a 0 and ! In the forbidden word to decrease how much extra stress is gonna be on me from putting it straight up on their dinner plates then im fucking going to. Why dont you get off your high horse and grow the fuck up and stop making fucking assumptions. Cause im doing a hell of a lot more of kindness and effort for accessibility than you are for saying its immoral for someone WHO NEEDS screendreaders and is ashamed about it to choose a fucking single exclammation point over getting the regular bullshit i put up with from people who wanna be pedos x100 so that you can feel good abt yourself becuz u would choose the latter. Whether ur also a screenreader needer or not what you are is a fuvking asshole becuz i literally have two spine surgeries voming up with a huge threat of bevoming a paraplegic or dead before then and i have a shortened lifespan from all my disabilities. I come into this community to cope with how shit my life is and i try to make it better for others no matter if its a little harder on me and i get nothin but disrespect from invasive and presumptuous assholes like u behind anon who dont wanna have a real vonversation with me or actually think abt anyone but yourself and how good it feels to stroke ur moral dick over the dying woman and i have had it up to here!

U guys wanna keep coming in my inbox being assholes to me? No nuance in life im a bitch? So little thanks nothing but pussies on anon talking shit or invading my privacy? Maybe someone the fuck else should try and run this ship then becuz im fed the hell up and abt to deactivate.

And even despite being told twice to provide accessibility, they continues to be inaccessible even excluding shipcourse.

And in regards to more of their ableism, they told someone to "develop a frontal lobe" which is harmful towards those with intellectual disabilities. For context: calicofemme was their old main.

Anyway, do what you will with this information. If anyone wants to add more things to this regarding her behavior, go ahead & I'll reblog it. I made this post to raise awareness of how the creator is harmful and shouldn't even be in this community because of how they go entirely against their motive for making it.

The Pro has gone Ultra in Oppo's lineup this year - the ultimate smartphone in the roster is now called the Find X7 Ultra. We understand the name change to imply there's more to this Find than simply incrementing on the usual bits, and where else would we find the truly new stuff, if not the camera system? Indeed, Oppo fitted a second telephoto camera - technically still a +1 operation, but a vastly more tangible one than the newer chipset, for example. The Find X6 Pro's camera hardware was already cutting edge, but more reach is never a bad thing and the X7 Ultra's second telephoto camera brings 6x zoom - with a 50MP sensor nonetheless. But it's not only about reach, since this camera is also good for closeups, and an update to that effect has made it to the 3x periscope as well - Oppo specifies the minimum focusing distance at 35cm and 25cm. The primary camera was already at a 1" type sensor, so there is not much to improve there, though Xiaomi is now on a second-generation Ultra with changeable aperture on its one-inch main camera, while the Find is stuck at f/1.8. The ultrawide is a bit of a side-step, where the new model loses some sensor size but gains extra coverage. Naturally, we'll be digging deeper into the camera system later in the review. We mentioned the chipset upgrade, and it's the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in charge - in contrast to the 'vanilla' X7 that gets the big-core-only Dimensity 9300 (also found on the vivo X100 and X100 Pro). Memory configurations start at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and peak at twice the storage and 16GB of RAM - nothing too crazy. Similarly restrained is Oppo's approach to battery capacity - the X7 Ultra remains at 5,000mAh, while a few of its relatives have gotten some extra mAhs this year. No change can be a good thing too - like, for instance, the 100W charging capability. There's one particular development that we would have loved to see this time, but sadly Oppo had different plans - the Find X7 Ultra will remain exclusive to its home market, much like the X6 Pro. Oh, well. Oppo Find X7 Ultra specs at a glance: Body: 164.3x76.2x9.5mm, 221g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), glass back (Gorilla Glass) or eco leather back, aluminum frame; IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min).

Chipset: Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm): Octa-core (1x3.3 GHz Cortex-X4 & 3x3.2 GHz Cortex-A720 & 2x3.0 GHz Cortex-A720 & 2x2.3 GHz Cortex-A520); Adreno 750. Memory: 256GB 12GB RAM, 256GB 16GB RAM, 512GB 16GB RAM; UFS 4.0. OS/Software: Android 14, ColorOS 14.

Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers; Emergency SOS via satellite (messages and calls). Oppo Find X7 Ultra unboxing The Find X7 Ultra arrives in a regular-sized box with some accessories inside - as many as you can reasonably expect from a 'mainstream' model in 2024. For starters, not only is there a cable bundled (USB-A-to-C), but there's even an adapter. It's rated for 100W, though there is an asterisk

in that you need a 220V outlet to max it out - if 110V is all you have, 80W is what you'll be getting. There's also a case included - one that is about as cheap-looking as the phone itself is premium. We'd only resort to using it in very dire circumstances where something, anything, must be done to protect the Find. Or if you'd try to keep the phone a bit more incognito, though, there's no hiding that camera bump, really. The news was sourced directly from the website GSM Arena.

Filipinos are typically an intensely religious (superstitious) people. Roman Catholicism dominates, there are other various Christian/Protestant sects and a sizeable Muslim population. The Philippines of PT no longer observes Muslim holy days, however, and is seeing a popular movement towards Christian (Catholic) values. Paganism and folk beliefs, oddly, have strong supporters in the communist and rebel paramilitary groups (even a godless people need something to believe in, it seems). They wear talismans that they believe protect them from bullets. Agimat, or talismans, typically make use of Masonic, Greek, or alchemical symbology. I presume these were brought over to the Philippines by Europeans during the Spanish colonial period, and embraced by local mystic traditions.

There are hundreds of different Filipino pagan pantheons, as there are hundreds of indigenous tribes and nations. The afterlife, creation stories, tales of the death of the gods, cataclysms, legends of various deluges, animal fables, epic and heroic poetry all exist in multiple and different forms across different Filipino cultures. There are also traces of Hindu beliefs (brought by ancient settlers and traders) in art, place names, the various dialects, and in some myths.

Catholicism as practiced by most Filipinos is sincretic, it bends and accommodates very old folk and pagan beliefs. Native Filipinos welcomed the idea of rosaries and religious medals readily enough; for them they were just another talisman. The vast number of Catholic saints was only logical; are there not hundreds of gods for each valley and forest? The sincretism ranges from an absentminded belief that one shouldn't walk in certain areas after dark for fear of the ill glance (masamang tingin), to a sincere conviction that anito exist and engaging the services of barangans, hilot and babaylan. Mystery, possession, the fear of witchcraft and miracles fit in the belief that humans only shared the world with others, that dieties might sometimes inhabit the body of the village holy man or woman, and that the spiritualist or shaman was a conduit of spirits and a spokesperson for those from the other world. The church hierarchy tries to impose some sort of rational system of belief and acceptable sacraments based on canon law and catechism, but the people of the islands have believed and lived these traditions since ancient times. They're part of the water and soil.

Catholicism is strange enough as it is, but in the remote areas of the country and sometimes in the civilized cities, it is wild, ecstatic, irrational. It's rules make sense to those who know, and outsiders can only look on in confusion.

#pt #religion #this is messy but I'm half asleep lol #edit another time maybe #Philippines #I'm secular but I really love the spectacle and practice of sincretic catholicism #its so extra x100

Skz as Boyfriends!

Paring~ SKZ x Reader

Genre~ informative lol

A/N~ yep it was requested! Enjoy 친구 <3

warnings? none. (idk mention of bed related things haha)

SKZ M☁List II Main M☁List

시장……..

✿ Bangchan

We all know this guy and you all have read enough of him I think, to know what imma say. (But for special purposes why not..)

This guy is really really serious about relationships and you are probably the one because he just can’t help loving everything about you.

The fact that he is yours even with all the responsibilities and work he has as a leader and idol is a miracle itself. Therefore consider yourself LUCKY to have the most caring and loving man anyone could have.

Dates- He likes movies hence movie nights and date to the theater are often. If not then he likes taking you to a sports event or the beach cause yeah. ( that vibesssssss you know? )

PDA = 3/10 why?, because as mentioned earlier he is responsible for many important things and he doesn’t want to have any misunderstandings about you and dislikes hate in general. That 30% I gave him was because he would only do PDA if really needed.

In Bed things? Umm not often actually but once in a while yes WHILE he would like it I’m sorry I mean LOVE it..

Con? Yep time! Sorry girl but that time you need, it’s hard for him to fulfill every time.

Cute extra info- Doesn’t mention it but secretly likes when you poke his dimple and say he’s cute.

✿ Minho

There are these majority conceptions, as I said majority but not all cause there are stays who know that he is a sweet guy deep deep down.😉

If you’re his s/o he will give every bit of him to you and expects the same for you. I would categorize him as a boyfriend wo acts like a mom lol. It maybe hard to digest that information but trust me this feeling I have from my gut I can say that he is also very caring. Although he might not say things like I will be there whenever you need me or even I miss you, care for you, but he doesn't need to say this anyway. As action speak more than words our Minho is the same.

Dates- He likes to balance it between what you like and what he likes as well. If you are a new couple he straight up asks what you prefer. Plus point he likes to take you to cat café if you like cats too.

PDA = 0.5/10 why? honestly speaking this guy literally hates to express his feelings. That .5 is literally him agreeing that he is yours and that's it. (when someone asks that is)

In Bed things? I personally think it depends on his mood and not yours. Yup. Somedays he wants you a lot and somedays he likes his space. I'm not saying he hates cuddling but more than that on days he is either tired or stressed he likes to keep that little limit to what happens next.

Con? Attention... you would literally take his cats away from him to get his attention.

Cute extra info- likes it when you call him and yourself Appa and Eomma to his cats.

✿ Changbin

Changbin being the puff/ strong guy(sorry that sounded disturbed lol) We all know how babied he likes to be.

Him as a boyfriend is just very natural, I mean from the way he takes you on a fancy date to even putting nail polish on your left hands. Everything is very genuine and he loves it. The Boyfriend to always apologize first.

I find him as someone to take attraction and the next step which is relationship very seriously. ( the person to be very calculative, it can beat Chan honestly..)Knowing that he is afraid to hurt people in any kind of way, to hurt you even as an accident breaks his heart.

Dates- Our Dwaekki loves taking you on dates with loads of food or snacks. A typical Korean restaurant or even food stalls, he loves seeing you eat than to be broken when you might have some kind of sickness due to eating problems.

PDA = 5/10 why? Because he likes your opinion. He is okay with either if you insist on a particular one but slightly leans on less public knowing. Holding hands and probably hugging you wouldn't be a huge problem for him.

In Bed things? he loves it anytime honestly... if he is horney he is getting what he wants and when you are same goes to you.. you'll get what you want..

Cons? Too much aegyo which makes you do things you don’t necessarily want to. (Stay blessed)

Cute extra info- Praise him! (x100) loves it when you say things like " my boyfriend is so strong.." or even " those arms mmm..."

✿ Hyunjin

I mean do I need to say how into he is with this??? Damn this man is the most prepared man a girl could have. The type to know everything about relationships... from trending couple fashion to even special not important but cute couple events..( that he probably found randomly scrolling through google)

He knows your anniversary, birthday, your moms birthday, dads and basically your whole family knows him too. He also keeps track of your monthly cycle too cause he likes being responsible for you..

He is the type to get jealous very easily BUT wont admit it when you ask. Likes to braid your hair while learning from YouTube.. Likes to buy you so many colorful cute hair accessories. (loves your hair..)

Dates- we all know this guy is fancy so he likes fancy dates but he can also be the complete opposite.. Fancy~ maybe to a art restaurant or even on a fancy boat cause why not.. Normally though~ likes to take you to an art museum or at night to take you on the roof for star gazing..

PDA = 2/10 why? I've probably given hints on my fictions with Hyunjin about this in particular. He prefers keeping this in private and that 20% is with his members (barely)

In Bed things? This guy couldn’t be more romantic lol. Loves being prepared for this buys every thing you both need… and yeah loves it.

Cons? He buys Kammi more hair clips than you sorry….

Cute extra info- likes when you get mad when he cut his hair lol. I apologize to all the stays I know he is cute every time but that long hair just hits different….

✿ Jisung

The craziest boyfriend you could have and will only have. You would low key love your relationship with this man I’m telling ya…

You two would have so much fun like toddlers. He is honestly the cutest, funniest, talented etc.. man you get all in one.. ahaha..

Likes to buy you the most stupid things that actually works for a daily living..( that thing he bought to watch on his phone while laying down 😵)

likes to joke around and talk to you a lot.. gurll listen to him he loves it. He likes to value your problems as well so listens to you too.

Dates- likes to watch anime so you two usually have this anime night cuddle sessions but if he were to plan something outside he would prefer to take you to the amusement part lol.

PDA = 8/10 why? honestly he likes showing you off cause he is fond of you. Basically doesn't care what others think... his parents know you, members, friends outside the group, and stays know you exist lol.. 20% i kept for a reason because he doesn't like it when things get out of handle so he wont do anything to the extent..

In bed things? yes he likes it but that turns up into a tickle fight or even a complete cringe but cute moment..

Cons? He might be very sensitive leading to him being upset and you having to apologize...

Cute extra info- loves it when you kiss his cheeks or just play with them in general..

✿ Felix

I had to bring this up at some point lol.. stays probably know the video where he says his clothes are boyfriend material lol...and yes i agree hands down!

A boyfriend material in his own way ahaha.. i mean we all know he loves to be cared for and loved. That Bangchan! spoiled little youngbok.. i personally feel or think two ways. Either he likes being cared for by you or he takes care for you since now he gets to be the older one..

Felix likes speaking in English so if you know English he would speak both languages as well. Likes to give you blowjobs cause he fell in love with you lol..

Dates- Shopping malls, window shopping, UNO on a picnic lol all these are his favs and so are yours .. Personally speaking he likes to take you to places where he can take lots of pictures of you..

PDA = 4/10 why? I don't know haha yup its just a feeling where I'm in between of two opposite thoughts.. I fell like he shows you to his members and family but not more than that.. (Olivia is most likely to love you)

In bed things? Likes being pampered and loves it when you lead.. happens pretty often actually..

Cons? yes! he like being touchy and so do you but he does it too much which beats ya.. and jealous really easily! and he lets you know that..

cute extra info- compliment him on his freckles and he will blush literally a tomato 🍅..

✿ Seungmin

Sweet really sweet.. he is the typical Korean boyfriend you'll get haha even better than that.

He just likes to talk to you or even look at you all day and keep that puppy smile on him.. The type to sing you a song to sleep or whenever you ask him to. likes to hear you sing too.. attempts to make you laugh but ends up, giving up.

He likes kissing your eyes when they are closed.. or when you just fell asleep after the song likes to give your eyes quick pecks..

Dates- He likes walks and that's why you go on evening walks and return when it's dark.. likes holding your hands. He likes grocery shopping with you, takes you to the rooftop to talk about life and its shitty problems.. Basically effortless things that make your relationship happy for what it is.

PDA = 1/10 why? I mean do I need to tell you this? he is like Minho but just a little bit more obvious.. Prefers to express his love when you two are alone..(that's it)

In bed things? umm yes but no.. i mean he gives in to your begs but I feel like Seungmin is just too into cute cuddling and these things are only when he is very desperate ..

Cons? not much but maybe ignoring you when you ask if he can buy you ice Cream for the fifty-sixth time..(but gives in anyway)

Cute extra info- He likes when he sees you in his clothes.. but doesn't say it and acts like he doesn't..

✿ Jeongin

Baby, baby, Baby..... he is our baby boyyyy but his savage ass towards his Hyungs just breaks it all hahaha…

Jk he is actually really cute, caring, sweet and likes to be protective. It may not suit him but yes he likes scolding people if done wrong to you..

You might be older or younger honestly he doesn’t care.. he is very respectful to you either way. He loves you and is very shy too which you find cute.

Dates- Asks you for your opinion or his Hyungs. He still is very inexperienced so he doesn’t know but sometimes likes it when you two spend time on the swings of some random park with fruit juice 🧃..

PDA = 0/10 why? Cause no no no no not even to his members haha he is just too shy and likes to keep his relationship in its own boundaries.

In bed things? Nope please! I’m sorry stays but I just can’t with Jeongin… (no further details he is just so precious to me)

Cons? He understands very late.. like you trying to say you want to cuddle, kiss etc.. without words he won’t get it. Just fucking be straight forward with our baby.

Cute extra info- honestly everything is cute about him so I can’t fit it here sorry… stays use your imagination here…

[unrestedjade]

More baseless Ferengi headcanons no one asked for: LATINUM EDITION~~~

- Almost every home is a rental, as almost all usable land is corporate-owned. Might as well daydream about owning a moon, it's no less realistic than owning the house you grew up in. (No I'm not frustrated with my $1500 rent at all, no I'm not miserable watching 40-year-old trailer homes selling for $250k to a property management firm that's going to rent it out. Surely a place like Ferenginar wouldn't be equally ridiculous, hahahahahahahahHAHAHAHA. Ahem.) - Latinum as religious fetish. We see Quark offering slips of latinum while he prays to the Blessed Exchequer before bed. He even has a little shrine. What's unclear is whether you're meant to reuse the same slips each day or if you have to actually "give up" the latinum over the longer term for the offering to count. You can break a piggy bank, but it's probably bad to break an image of the Exchequer, unless he's very chillaxed compared to the majority of gods. - Assuming really giving up the latinum is better, is destroying it extra good? Or are you sinning by removing it from the Continuum? Are there Ferengi extremist sects that sink latinum into bogs or launch it into a star?

- What do they think and feel about latinum with regards to the Exchequer? What does a god need with it? Is it meant to be his lifeblood, figuratively? Or literally, via transubstantiation? (Catholic Ferengi. Cathipitolists.)

- How was latinum treated in the days before they knew to process it with gold so it could be handled safely? It's very pretty and ethereal-looking in its raw form, and also very, very toxic. Depending on the symptoms of latinum poisoning, I wonder if it had anything to do with it gaining religious significance? Ancient Ferengi priests seeing visions and going a little funny in the head from handling raw latinum for years and years?

- The way Quark and Brunt talk about taxes in S7 suggests there's not a lot of taxation in Ferengi society (officially, anyway. idk what else you'd call their ubiquitous bribes/tips than unofficial taxation). In any case, since one of the major purposes of taxation in modern economies is to control inflation by removing money (governments create/destroy money; they don't really keep a little checkbook register of surplus/deficit the way a household does) offering latinum to the Exchequer as an act of worship could be a good way to take money out of circulation for a while. - Latinum vs fiat money? Latinum is canonically used as coinage by multiple species. (It would seem like Ferengi are putting themselves at a bit of a disadvantage by also attaching a spiritual importance to it, but who knows, and this is a tangent on a tangent.) Is all their money backed by latinum? It can't be, right? Just conceptually, their stock markets and banks can't possibly be tying every value in every account to a real, physical measure of latinum, that's horribly inefficient. Can "latinum" also mean any legitimate liquid asset? Or does the Exchequer insist on the real thing? Much to ponder. - Brunt implies in Family Business that Ferenginar has houseless people and beggars. There's no point in begging if no one ever gives you anything, so some people must give charity to beggars. What's that look like, is it something kind-hearted Ferengi do in spite of the RoA explicitly stating that charity is only acceptable when you come out richer than you started? What's their rationalization in that case? Are they left feeling shameful about it? (Obviously the people stuck begging feel shitty, by design. Ironically, they might feel less shitty than we would, since the Exchequer doesn't appear to care how you get money, only that you get it.) - If you're moved to give money/material aid to a needy person, you'd probably do it quietly. Here in the good ol' US of A a common view is that "hand-outs" hurt the needy person in the long run because you're removing their impetus to stop being lazy sponges. And that's from people who follow a religion that commands them to care for the needy! So it's gotta be even harsher under a religion that's completely mask-off in its worship of individual prosperity. - (You just know Keldar was one of those people tossing a few slips of latinum for someone sleeping under a shop awning each morning. His business sense sucked but Ishka made him sound like a warm person. Folks gotta eat.) - Reincarnation... Alright, so if you were a dude and you die broke it's implied you can't reincarnate/are damned to the Vault of Eternal Destitution. Cool and fair, nothing to unpack there. What about women? They're half the population but seem to have been overlooked on this point in this here 10k-year-old religion. Which is telling in itself, of course, but you'd think someone would have addressed this? Who reincarnates female? Is the accepted understanding that females reincarnate female and are totally removed from the requirement to bid on their life? But that still doesn't solve the problem, because even if reincarnation were assigned-sex-segregated (god what a shitty idea, compels me tho) you're still losing X number of men to the Vault each generation. - I want to see what Ferengi religious debates look like. Pel is shown to be a serious scholar of the RoA as they've dug into not only the text itself but all the commentaries and refutations and deep-dives others have published about it. That's gotta fuel some spicy convo around the tongo table once everyone's a few drinks in. - Are there multiple sects? People arguing whether this or that rule is meant to be taken literally vs as metaphor? Everyone can't be in lockstep on this stuff. Quark seems to have been raised within the currently-hegemonic sect, but surely there's others.

- There don't appear to be any clergy or equivalent persons, so I wonder if there's different sects how they organize themselves? Do they host different subs on Ferengi Reddit? (Ferengi Reddit...shudder) - Ferengi atheists slacking at work or living as drifters because there's no point saving money for a next life that's not real. Life must drive them to drink. That's when you go out into space to live with the sane people and never call home.

- Is the rest of the population chill with atheists, or is that a no-go? I guess it would depend on how loud the person is and whether they follow the Rules or not.

- You know who they're definitely not chill with: socialists. Do they have Satanic Panics about this or that media turning the youth into commies? If you're an outspoken socialist, are you looking at exile? Arrest? An unexpected date with an Eliminator? - Conspicuous consumption seems to be a thing, and it's interesting in light of the whole "needing a good high score for a good reincarnation" idea. It still boils down to showing off how much you can afford to waste, but the stakes are undoubtedly higher for the faithful. - If something happens and you're at risk if losing everything, is it safer to just off yourself while you still have money? What if you're going to lose more than you'd ever be able to make back? (In economics this is called a perverse incentive lulz)

- The Great Monetary Collapse must have suuuuucked. It's the Great Depression x100, and also your god is mad at you, maybe??? And your next life is totally screwed now, too. Fuckin' dire, man. When Quark mentioned it in the show, it was with this flippant air like he was waiting to see how Miles and Julian reacted. He might have elaborated more if they hadn't reacted...the way he probably assumed they would. (Partially a self-fulfilling prophecy given the way he primed them to treat it as a joke, but I digress.) - Suicide rates are measurably higher in societies that elevate achievement and work ethic (see the Protestant vs Catholic divide on this, it's interesting and very depressing as a lapsed protestant in a protestant-dominated country). Just saying. - On this same bummer track: hedonic depression could be very commonplace among Ferengi. Every minute not spent working is spent on distraction because life is just such an exhausting grind, and a lot of factors determining whether you're a good/successful person are out of your control. Booze, porn, and gambling are all very distracting, and thus very popular. If a lot of this just sounds like regular degular capitalism: yes. It's actually proving difficult to push the fictional society further out because we're already living beyond satire. Maybe that's why I like these awful little guys so much. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

#star trek #ferengi #meta #meta being a generous term for me making shit up because that's just how i party #i got halfway through the virtue of selfishness for the first time since i was 14 just for this #couldn't make myself power all the way through but i think the depth of my ardor should be proven anyway #suicide mention #because their society is an ancap hellscape

Ok so, Dream and George. Who are these people? Like I know that I ship them and that Dream has fluffy hair and probably a face, but what are all the letters? Do I need to like Minecraft to enjoy watching them or is it kinda like with Danandphilgames where the personalities are gonna draw me in? Please help. I’m already becoming obsessed but also am very confused.

Dream and George are minecraft YouTubers, but they are oh so much more. I don't necessarily think you need to like Minecraft but it may help to have a base knowledge of how it works to get some of the jokes/banter?

Definitely is about their personalities though! I've been into mc for about 10 years and watching them for a while but didn't start shipping these guys until last year when my brain did that "heres a new special interest for you good luck thinking about anything else for the next few years". Then around October I pulled my two friends in with me, one of which had absolutely no minecraft knowledge or interest, and now they both love it. But it was the personalities and the story that pulled them in.

Mainly (because I think it's the part that sounds most extra) the fact that Geoege lives in the UK and Dream is in Florida and they've known each other since way before YouTube and now George is trying to move permanently to the US despite never seeing Dream's face (or so they say, I actually suspect he probably has at this point)

BUT it gets crazier. Because Dream does have a face, but none of us have seen it. The only person than has is his roommate Sapnap and a few friends because HE REFUSES TO FACE REVEAL UNTIL HES MET GEORGE. which means he's not met any of their other friends despite some living right in his state, because he has to meet George first. Sapnap has met everyone, but Dream has just been locked in his house for years because on top of a pandemic it's also meant George's visa is taking SO LONG. The man has literally put his life on hold until George is there.

We are waiting and truthing and it's like Moving Hill x100 over here every time, something suspicious happens. Which is like every day because they are little shits.

As for all the letters, I assume you mean the acronyms here are a couple I've used recently that you might mean but please come ask me about others.

Please come ask me questions about minecraft/this fandom in general. My ask box is open, my dms are open!!

Dnf - dreamnotfound (the ship name) a combination of the usernames Dream and Georgenotfound

Dteam - Dream team - basically Dream, George and Sapnap who are all best friends and create content together. Dream descrvied them as puzzle piecey because they fit each others livesin a soulmatey way. Sapnap lives with Dream rn and George is moving so they can have the dteam house. (They already bought it together were just waiting on George's visa)

Smp/dsmp - an smp is a survival multilayer server. Basically a minecraft world multiple people play on together online. The dsmp is the Dream SMP which is the survival world Dream and George started which blew up and now has lots of members and intense fictional storylines (referred to as Lore) not every stream that takes place on that server is Lore, but some are.

Describing all the Lore would be too much here, I think EvanMCGaming's videos on YouTube are a good summary/place to start for some of the big bits, but it doesn't cover everything if you want to get a really deep dive knowledge. BlueberryTV also has a playlist that is good, but LONG

Mc - just the tag I use for minecraft related things

Let me know if you want some video recs that are just them being goofballs together to get their dynamic. It kinda is like dnpg except its the same game over and over. Not in a Let's Play kind of way because they set new challenges or code the game differently every time.

#mc #dnf #i could literally talk about this for hours please ask me things #my reign of terror of forcing people to ship minecraft boys against their will continues

Kaku, Lucci and Jabra - First Meetings and Kiss

Annyong Haseyo!! This was requested by REDFRLegend (Wattpad)

This is my first time writing for these 3 members. I hope its not too OOC. I made these in Modern Universe.

I hope you like it!

Pairings :

Kaku X Reader

Lucci X Reader

Jabra X Reader

Word Count : 5.8K (I promised you, I will do justice for your request)

Warnings : Not Proof read, so please forgive me for any mistakes.

A/N : I absolutely enjoyed writing for these three. I thought I'd hardly be able to write 500 words but... when I first wrote Kaku I didn't even notice the word count in the beginning. But it reached 1K words and I was shocked. I thought I couldn't beat this count for Lucci and I was definitely sure that I wont be able to write that much for Jabra. But Lucci beat Kaku's word count and it was 1.9K words. I received another shock when Jabra's story word count surpassed these two's. Jabra's was  2.6K words. I was speechless when I noticed that. Now to think of it, I am now in love with these people. I didn't like them because of Robin chan arc. But now... these people stole my heart. Please help me. I can't...

Kaku - 1K

Warnings : None

A/N : The meeting of this was so weird but the rest of the story is not that weird. Please read it.

You were so excited to watch the new movie which you waited so long to watch. By avoiding many posts and people who spoil everything, you went to the theatre and took the ticket. You were alone and thought that you could spend some quality time with yourself. You wanted to check your makeup so, you went to the restroom. As soon as you walked into the washroom, you saw a man with a long nose staring at you. His eyes were open wide as well as his mouth and his cheeks were flushed pink after seeing you.

'What the!?', you thought as you took a few steps back and then another man came into the restroom. You saw him and then again you looked at the long nose man. Then your legs worked their magic and you ran away. You ran towards the girls restroom which was on the floor above without even caring who was looking at you. You were completely embarrassed to walk into the men's restroom like that.

You looked into the mirror and noticed that your cheeks were also red from the embarrassment. You placed your hands on your face and whined. 'It's okay. Just forget this and watch the movie', you thought and you looked at the mirror again.

After heading to the movie hall with your tickets and popcorn, you sat in your seat and tried to concentrate on the movie. You watched the movie as you ate your popcorn. The movie didn't even finish 30 minutes at least and you noticed how terrible it was. Completely different from the plot you imagined after watching the trailer. Everything about the movie was so bad. Your frown didn't fade away as the scenes kept going.

"Do you hate it too?", whispered the person beside you.

"Omg, its... its totally different from what I expected. I really don't like it", you whispered as you still kept looking at the screen and kept eating popcorn.

"I really had high expectations about this movie. I never thought the plot would go like this", you said and then looked to your side. Then you saw the same long nose person, who you saw in the men's restroom. You blushed and hung your head low as you looked at him. He noticed that you were still upset about it and said, "Its okay. Everyone makes mistakes like that once in a while", he said and you slowly looked at him. He cheeks turned red as you looked at him. He averted his gaze to the movie and said, "Its their fault for not constructing extra washrooms", you chuckled as you heard that. He gave you a side glance and smiled. After more 10 minutes of discussing how the movie was getting annoying you sighed in defeat. "All my money is wasted on this, and now even my time"

He gave you a side glance and asked, "So... if you also feel like that... wanna go and grab a bite?"

Your heart skipped a beat. You didn't expect this but... you really wanted to go. A faint blush was visible on his cheeks as you nodded yes. The two of you went and sat at the restaurant and talked about movies and music. It seemed like your tastes matched and you were really happy to have a new friend.

"I'm Kaku by the way. We kept talking and didn't introduce ourselves", he chuckled and you realised that he was right.

"OMG! I didn't realise that. I'm Y/N" you replied. As you both finished your food, you decided exchanged numbers before you left.

Every day you two kept talking about stuff you both liked and slowly, the conversations turned to daily routines and then meme war at each other. You didn't knew how time passed while you both talked. You both decided to meet again for another movie and this movie was good than the previous one. For some reason you didn't feel awkward with him at all. After the movie you both strolled in the park. You felt so happy beside him. With him the conversation was never dead.

After a few more movie meetings, you were talking to him on the phone as usual.

"So, yeah... I heard there was a new pet café opened and people are loving it. Wanna go on a... date with me?", he asked as your cheeks turned red. You said yes and then you both discussed on the time and place of your meeting. Your heart was beating faster and you couldn't stop this excitement for meeting him. Actually you were even happier for every time you met him. 'This time... it's different. It's a date', you thought as you placed your hands on your cheeks.

The day of your date, you wore the new clothes and applied some makeup then went to the café. He stood from his place as he saw you enter the café. You approached him and he still was still standing without moving an inch. You smiled at him and shook his shoulder. He then blinked and chuckled nervously. Your date was really cute with him blushing as you both played with the animals. After you decided to leave, he took you home as it was dark. He blushed as he linked his hand with yours and with the free hand he gently tugged a strand of hair behind your ear.

He looked into your eyes for permission. You just smiled back at him and nodded. He leaned down as you slowly closed your eyes. Your lips touched with his and you felt so happy at that moment. His hand slowly caressed your cheeks and the other trailed to your waist to pull you even closer. Your hands tugged the back of his shirt as you just tilted your face to deepen the kiss. You both parted for air and looked into each other's eyes. It felt right with him. You were truly happy to be with him and he was feeling the same. You two were falling in love.

XOXOXOXO

Lucci – 1.9K

Warnings : Mention of alcohol but mostly fluff

A/N : I really loved this story too. Yeah, its a bit awkward but trust me, you will get past it.

The week was completely trash. Not one good thing happened and as if your problems were not enough, your boss dumped so much more work on you and your weekend almost went to waste. As you were so determined to complete your work, you had some free time and went to the new bar. The bar looked so beautiful and neat. People were drinking and singing. You ordered a drink for yourself and were trying to forget the shit week you had.

‘I need to buy new shoes/heels. These are about to get ruined’, you thought as you sipped your drink looking at your shoes/heels. Then suddenly you saw your asshole ex enter into the bar with another person. ‘That Dick, he is already with someone new’, you thought. You really wanted to leave but you didn’t want to seem single if your ex sees you. Your gaze landed on the person beside you, who was minding his own business. He had interesting beard. He was actually cute. You saw that he paid for his drinks and got up.

You stood before him as you blocked his way. He looked confused at your actions. You gulped. He was pretty tall, had sharp eyes and was having a serious expression. You asked him, “Are you leaving?” to which he just gave you a weird look and nodded.

“Good! Let’s go together, please”, you said as you held his hand. If weird and confused could be one expression, he had that. As he was about to protest, you stopped him and said, “Please. Don’t ask anything. I’ll answer your questions. But please come with me”.

He stayed quiet for a couple of seconds to think and then sighed, giving his permission. You linked your arm with his and smiled happily as you made your way out of the bar and YES! Your ex saw you with a guy way too handsome than him. Your ego boost increased X100 with that expression on your ex’s face. You laughed as you walked. Suddenly you felt a tug on your arm and you then noticed that you were dragging that stranger for a while now. You face turned red because of embarrassment. You let go of him and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t notice that I was dragging you along with me. I just wanted to get out of there because of my ex. And I got to leave with a handsome guy like you. You should’ve seen his face”, you said and laughed again thinking about that jerk ex. “So, thank you”, you ended as you looked at him.

He just nodded and left. ‘Huh… it… looked like he didn’t even care’, well to be honest you would’ve been happy if he was interested. ‘Well, its fine. My ex saw me with that handsome guy. It’s all I need’, you hummed to yourself and went to your house.

The next week, you had a new contract from a client and you had to visit the client at his office and talk about the project with your boss.

“So, Rob Lucci is our client and I hope you know that atleast… we should meet him now”, said your boss looking at you. You nodded quickly and followed him behind. Mr. Jabra was a strict man but, he was a good person.

Mr. Jabra led you into Mr. Lucci’s office and you both were waiting for him to come and meet you. Apparently that person Lucci was a very busy man and could only afford this day to talk about the project. As the door swung opened you and Mr. Jabra stood up. Your eyes widened as you looked at him. He was the same person who you met at the bar a few nights prior. He and Mr. Jabra shook hands and then you two sat in your chairs. He sat in front of you two and talked about the project. He seemed like, he didn’t even remember you. So you let that thought go away and started to listen to him. This was the first time you heard him speak. He had a deep voice and was really good. He was very particular and you noted them down just for future references. After the meeting you both thanked him and you followed your boss but as you were about to exit his cabin you fell on your face.

Your boss gasped and asked, “Y/N! are you okay?” with worry. Then you felt an arm on your shoulder. You looked at the owner of the arms, and it was Mr. Lucci. He was beside you. Your face turned red as you saw his handsome features so close. He helped you up and you thanked him. You then noticed that one of your shoe/heel was actually ruined. The client and also the boss noticed that.

“It’s ruined. Wait here. I’ll send my secretary”, Mr Lucci said. You looked at Mr. Jabra and he nodded. Then Mr. Lucci and Mr. Jabra went ahead. You didn’t know why he told you to wait there but you obliged. Then a beautiful lady came where you were waiting. She was wearing delicate specs and had silky blond hair. She had brown paper bag with her.

“Hello! You must be Y/N. I’m Kalifa. Mr. Lucci told me you were here”, she introduced herself and you nodded.

“So, if you don’t mind we only have these here. But, I’m sure you can wear them for temporarily”, she said as she handed me the brown paper bag she held. You looked inside and saw a new pair of shoes.

“Thank you so much!!”, you bowed to her and she left. You took the shoes out and wore them. Coincidentally, when you wore them, they were a perfect fit for you. ‘And then the prince and Cinderella stayed happily ever after’, the sentence suddenly popped into your brain and you chuckled. Then you noticed if someone was watching you. Luckily no one saw you laughing to yourself. You placed your ruined pair into the bag and headed towards the exit. There you saw your boss waiting for you. You quickly dumped your shoes bag in the trash can and headed towards Mr. Jabra.

He smiled widely as he looked at you. “Y/N!! You are here! Lets go”, he said and went towards his car as you followed him. Apparently, the the contract with the company was also made for another project if this was going to be successful. You also were happy that the company was getting more contracts.

As you and your team made the project, you and Mr. Lucci had to meet a few more times. His seriousness was really captivating to you. The passion towards work, really inspired you too. Slowly you found yourself reading about his company and his articles. You really started to like the man and your respect also grew.

After the project completion, luckily everyone liked it and it was a huge success. So, the client company held a party and invited your company too. You all were very happy for your work to be successful. The party was held on the terrace of the building. But there were security to take care of people, if they get too drunk.

You got yourself a second drink and leaned on the wall. Then you saw that Mr. Lucci was leaving the place. You followed him and now you saw that he was heading towards the elevator.

“Hey! Please wait!”, you said and sure he waited for you to come. “Thankyou”, you said as you also got in. He pressed the button for the ground floor.

“Sir, you can at least enjoy in these times. It’s ok to be carefree once in a while”, you said as he turned to look at you. You sipped your drink and continued, “Everyone is really happy and really admire you. If you join them they would be even more happy”, you said and he averted his gaze from you. If you weren’t drunk, you would’ve noticed his cheeks dusted pink.

“Yeah, but… not everyone likes me. Some people find me gloomy. So, I don’t want to let their sprits down”, for once, he talked about himself and not about work.

“NO WAY! Heck, even I too like you. You are so passionate and inspiring”, you being drunk said it casually but he stared at you with his eyes wide open and cheeks completely red. “You sure are serious about your work but you aren’t gloomy. You are really kind. I heard that you even take care and donate for the wildlife sanctuary. I really appreciate and admire that”, you smiled at him and exited the lift. He followed your steps and said, “How… are you going to go? You can’t drive in the state you are in”, he said as he looked at you.

“You looked back at him and replied, “I’ll call a cab”

‘Ofcourse, you’ll call a cab. Why did I even ask the most stupid question’, thought Lucci.

“I think you forgot but, we both met in a bar. I stopped you from leaving and tagged along with you”, you said.

“I remember”, he said making you stop in your tracks. You turned and looked at him. He came closer and stood before you.

“I never forgot you, or that time”, he said as you gulped.

“I thought you weren’t interested in me”, you said as you chuckled.

“I… wasn’t.”

“Ouch! That hurt”, you said as you placed your hands on your heart. He chuckled at your actions and it was the very first time you ever saw him laugh.

“Let me rephrase it, I wasn’t interested at that weird stranger who dragged me to an unknown location”, you were embarrassed at what he said. ‘Of course who would be interested in a person who did that’ your head hung low. But he continued, “But… I remembered the drunk person, who called me handsome. That clumsy person who fell down, the hardworking one, who made the project successful”, he said and he came closer and whispered, “I’m interested to know more about that person”, your face turned red at what he said. Now he was the one who walked first and you followed him. He stopped at his car and said, “Let me drop you”

You obliged and sat in the fancy car. He suddenly leaned closer to you and you closed your eyes. Then you heard a click. You opened what was that sound and saw that he placed your seatbelt. You got embarrassed and he chuckled.

After sometime you reached your house and again he leaned in closer to you. He removed the seatbelt but he stayed still looking into your eyes. You leaned towards him and captured his lips with yours. You placed your hands his raven hair and he placed one of his hand on the back of your neck and the other on your cheek. Your make out session with him lasted for a while then you smiled at him and looked at your lap. He smiled and pecked your cheek. You got out of the car and waved bye to him. He did the same but then he told you to come closer. As you were close to the window of his car, he again pulled you close and kissed you. After that he smiled and left the place. You went to your room and changed your clothes. You plopped on the bed and thought about the kiss you two had. It was so intense and passionate. Little did you know, a new beautiful story really was awaiting for you.

XOXOXOXOXO

Jabra – 2.6K

Warnings : Angst, hurt, comfort, TW! sexual harassment 

A/n: The story for writing him came to me and I was so in love. I hope you enjoy it.

You get ready as usual and get on the train to go for work. It was an everyday routine for you. You tended to go early to avoid rush hours. Anyhow, you couldn’t avoid the evening traffic and people, so you at least tried to be early. This was peaceful and quite with just you and a few other people on the train. You had your book in your hand to pass the time while you went to your stop. You then saw a new face get on the train. He was a tall man with different kind of beard.

He sat opposite of you and put on his headphones. He was quiet for a while but suddenly, he started to sing out the song he was listening to. You looked at him and saw that he was really immersed in the song and didn’t realise that he was singing out loudly.

You smiled to yourself at his actions. He wasn’t singing amazingly but, he was singing with his heart and you really admired that. He wasn’t horrible too. Just in between. After one song, he started to sing another song. You stopped reading and listened to him sing. You soon reached your stop and got down. He was still humming and singing. You went to work and started to work, but as you worked, the songs he sang were playing in your head. You shrugged it off and started to work, but the songs still played in your head.

The next day, you saw the same man enter the train. After a few minutes, he started to sing again. You listened to his songs till you reached your stop.

This became a routine to you every day and you never once, didn’t fail to stop listening to his songs. Eventually you started to like his singing and his voice. You didn’t finish that page of your book ever since he started to sing. You once noticed that he was singing the song that you liked too. You jammed to that song inside your head.

One day as he was giving you his free concert, another man got on the train and sat beside you. The new person, told the man before you to stop sing. That man got embarrassed and apologised. He didn’t even hum the entire ride. You came back to your book and noticed that you forgot what the story was so, you had to come back a few pages and read it again. To be honest, you felt bad for the singer. The entire ride was really quiet and… dull. You got down at your stop and looked at the man one last time and headed to your office.

The next day also the singer stayed silent and the new man sat beside you. You didn’t even hear the man hum. He was silent that day too… and the day after… and after… he stopped singing.

One day, you were on the same place as usual and the singing man sat opposite of you. The stranger sat beside you like always. You really didn’t mind but… then you felt his shoulder touching you. You noticed that he was sitting closer to you than before. You carefully moved a bit till your shoulders weren’t touching. But after a few minutes, your shoulders brushed again. You didn’t like how a person was touching you. You moved again and after few minutes you noticed the person touching you again! You gulped and you followed your instincts.

You sat beside the man opposite to you and he noticed you now. He didn’t mind you sitting there until he noticed that the other man also made his way towards you and sat real close to you. Now, you don’t have place to move. You frowned at how that jerk kept doing that. You were about to say something but then you saw that the singing man, stood abruptly and glared at the other man.

“Don’t you have shame? She doesn’t like it. Stop it or else do you want me to break your hand?”, that man clicked his tongue and left the train as soon as the doors opened. You smiled at the singer and said, “Thankyou so much”. To which he just smiled and took his spot.

Things were silent and then he said you, “I… I am sorry, I didn’t notice it first”.

“No, its not your fault”, you replied as you smiled at him. You continued, “I really don’t like the rush hours because of people like this. But I guess, for them, the time really doesn’t affect”.

“I’m sorry to hear that”, he said and you indicated no.

“You aren’t the one who did that. Don’t apologise”, you said as you got up and continued “Its my stop. I’ll go. bye”

He watched your form leave. Just like every day. You didn’t knew. But he also noticed you. But only when you left.

The next day, you sat in your spot and waited. The singer came and sat opposite to you. He smiled at you and you returned the same.

“You know”, you said and he looked at you as he listened carefully. “You sing well. Don’t let that person’s words get to you”

He gasped and his eyes opened wide. His cheeks turned red.

“So, you didn’t knew you were singing out this whole time? You sang from the first day you started to take this train”, you chuckled as you said that.

“Oh noo… I really didn’t knew I was singing every day. I’m sorry I did that. I must have disturbed you”, you whined as he held his head by his hands and placed his elbows on his knees.

“But… I did enjoy the free concert”, you said as he blushed even more.

"Oh god.... it so weird", he said looking at you.

"Why? How is it weird. Many people tend to sing like that", you closed your book and placed your elbows on your knees as you looked at him.

He covered his face and replied, "No... not that...", he sighed and replied, "you saying you liked my singing... its weird. Everyone says I suck at it. But... this is different"

"Owh! So rude... you aren't so bad. They just... need to listen to you more", you told him as you leaned back.

"Tha...thankyou. you are so kind", he said as he smiled. You asked about some of the songs that you liked while he sang and he answered everything to you. Then you got down at your stop and went to office.

The talking about music then changed to movies, then books. He wasn't much of a reader but he heard about the stories and stuff from his other friends and was really interested while you were talking about them.

After some days, you both sat beside each other while you both listened to music while you shared headphones.

You recommend him a few songs and he instantly got hooked on all of them. Exchanged phone numbers made you guys even closer and the meetings on the train while you went to jobs were becoming even more special.

One morning as usual you talked but... he seemed a bit restless.

"What happened? Are you okay?", you asked him as he just stayed silent. He looked down at his shoes and avoided to look at you.

"Jabra, if you wont tell me, I can't know. Tell me if something is bothering you", you said as he straightened his back and looked at you.

"I don't feel so good today... I feel like something bad is going to happen and I just... can't get rid of this feeling", he confessed.

"Oh no! Why? Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. You'll stay safe. I'll pray", you assured him but he shook his head no.

"I'm not... talking about myself.... I'm talking about... you, Y/N", he looked deep into your eyes.

You chuckled and said, "Me? Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I'll be fine", you said assuring him.

He smiled weakly and said, "Yeah... maybe I'm over thinking"

You patted his shoulder and got up. You got out of the train and waved bye to him. But... even if you said you were going to be fine, Jabra just couldn't get the uncertain feeling out of his heart and mind.

That evening, as work piled up, you had to stay late and work a bit more. Jabra messaged you a few times and you replied saying you were fine.

That night at 11 pm you started to go towards the station alone. The streets were a bit too empty and you felt like the traffic would be much better than this. You then got an idea and opened your phone.

'CALL SINGER', Your phone displayed and you hit the green button. He almost immediately picked it up and asked you whether you were okay or not. You giggled and said you were fine.

"So... did you eat?", he asked

"Nope... i actually am leaving the office now-"

"WHAT! NOW! Y/N. I told you the area where you were working isn't safe after dark. Why didn't you listen?", he didn't let you finish and started to worry about you.

"Jabra, listen. My boss gave me work, while I was about to leave. So I had no choice. It's not like I didn't listen to you", you pout as he clicked his tongue.

"Tsk... I really want to talk to that stupid boss of yours. How could he make you stay so late"

"Just let it be... I... just wanted to talk to you", you said as you gulped hearing footsteps... getting closer to you.

"Y/N what happened?", he sensed your distress and asked you.

"I... it might be my imagination but... I thought I could hear... footsteps?", you whispered as you kept walking.

"Y/N... listen to me carefully. Don't turn back. Just keep walking and make use of your senses and don't turn off the phone. Keep it on even if you aren't talking to me", he said.

"I am not able to hear them anymore but... Jabra... I'm scared", you told him the truth.

"Y/N don't be. Don't cry. Put on a brave front. I'm coming", he said as you heard his door closing. He was really coming for you now and this time... you were sure you heard the footsteps again.

You reached the station and noticed that someone was definitely following you. You told jabra and he said to quicken your pace and get on the train. You did as he told you and you heard the footsteps running after you. You ran towards the train and just as you made it in then the doors closed. Then you saw the person who ran after you.

Your eyes widened as you saw his face. He was the same guy who harassed you on the train a few weeks ago.  He had a sinister looking grin on his face as he indicated an indecent hand gesture.

Tears slid down your cheeks as you kept eye contact with him and the train moved forward.

"Y/N! Y/N! Y/N! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED? DID YOU GET ON THE TRAIN? Y/N PLEASE ANSWER! PLEASE", you noticed that you didn't answer Jabra and he was having a panic attack.

"Jabra... I got on the train but I ... I saw him", you said between sobs.

"Who was it?"

"That pervert from the other day. You also saw him. He looked so sinister Jabra... I can't even explain", you cried as you told him.

His didn't know how to feel. Was he supposed to be relieved that you escaped for now or was he supposed to feel sad that you were crying.

He knew one thing for sure... He was hella angry at that asshole for making you so scared and cry.

After travelling alone for a few minutes and crying on the phone, you then saw that Jabra was waiting on a stop for you. You ran out of the train and hugged him tight as he also held you close. He wasn't going to forgive himself for letting you experience that alone. He was mad at himself for not being there for you, when you needed him the most. He held you as if you were going to disappear if he let you go.

Jabra then dropped you at your home on his bike as you still hugged him. The adrenaline was still making your hands shiver even after you reached your house. You let him stay at your place for that night. But you couldn't sleep for a long time. That experience was terrifying. But as he soothingly caressed your hair, you fell asleep.

He didn’t had a small crush on you. It was already love for him. He wanted to take you out on dates and dinner. Wanted to see you smile. Wanted to come to your house and hug you while you slept… But he didn’t wanted that to happen like this. This was heart breaking for him.

The next day, you took the day off and curled in your blanket. Jabra already left, after leaving a note. You were alone in your house. Then you got a message from Jabra, with a link. You opened it and saw that, a killer and rapist was arrested and sent to jail. Tears rolled down your cheek as you saw that.

Then you pressed the call button and in a few rings, Jabra picked up.

“Y/N! I’m sorry, I had to leave but-”

“Thankyou! Thank you so much”, you didn’t let him finish his sentence and thanked him.

“Don’t cry my dear. It’s okay now. He is in jail and… he will never ever hurt you or anyone else again”, he said as you sniffed.

Actually, after you fell asleep, Jabra left the house and searched for that man. After finding him, he beat him up and handed him over to the police.

You called him over to your place and as he reached the door you wrapped your arms around his shoulders and squeezed him tight. He blushed hard at your sudden hug but still he embraced you. You pulled him into the house and closed the door.

You took his hand and said, “I love you”, his eyes widened at your words. “And don’t mistake it for gratitude or something else. I really liked you from a long time. But the way… you”, your tears returned to you as you continued, “Prioritize me and give importance to me is just… truly beautiful”, you got closer to him and added, “I… love you. Will you go out with me?”

“YES! YES! YES I love you too!” he also exclaimed and hugged you tight. Then you pulled back a bit to see his face then placed your hand on the back of his neck.

“Can I?” you asked him as he turned like a tomato and nodded. You brought him closer to you and kissed him gently. He wiped the tears on your cheek with one of his hand and the other stayed between your shoulder blades. You ran your fingers in his hair as the other caressed his back. Your actions sent shivers up and down his spine. You two broke the kiss for air and looked into each other’s eyes. You pressed your foreheads together and smiled as you pecked his cheek. This felt magical. With him, it was always different and beautiful. You thanked your stars for making him meet you.

🟣 Somehow he works out that you just wear them cus you wanna, and he is more than okay with that

🟣 Lowkey fills him with pride

🟣 You’ll find he’s more clingy when you’re in his hoodies etc. He’s a big cuddlebug on the worst of days so this just sends him OFF

🟣 Perfect for when u need that extra affection

🟣 Just throw on his hoodie and BAM there you are. Cuddly wakatoshi. Ur welcome

▪️He finds it endearing above anything

▪️ He isn’t one to openly show how blushy something makes him, so his reaction is a narrow display of how his heart is really feeling

▪️ You can still read him like an open book tho and u just KNOW by the sparkle in his eyes that he’s melting at the sight of you

▪️ He’s a busy guy, but meticulous at that. He’ll walk into your home and notice you wearing it immediately

▪️ It makes his chest heat up at the sight of you, and he just has to indulge himself in the situation

▪️ You feel his arms around your waist before anything else, giving you a warm squeeze and a peck to your head

▪️ “You look beautiful y/n”

▪️ You guys always cuddle before bed, and you find he’s holding you just a little closer and tighter when you’re in his hoodie/shirt

▪️ He likes to nuzzle you to his chest and play with your hair- it comforts him

▪️ But if you’re in his t-shirt while he does it?? It’s like the feeling is hyped x100

🔸He’s gonna get turned on by it no cap

🔸Seriously, what else did you expect from him?

🔸 He’s boastful as hell when his sees you in his outfits, and even the idea of it just makes him heat up

🔸 You show up to his house one day in a shirt he left at yours

🔸 You’re met with a sharp whistle, catching you off guard and clearly to compliment how hot you look

🔸 “Didn’t know you were comin’ all dressed up for me baby,”

🔸 You swear every time he calls you baby it makes you swoon

🔸 Like Oikawa, he’s boastful as hell

🔸 Expect 104827 selfies before you leave he treats u like his model its so fuckin cute

🔸This man just likes to show you OFF

🟢 Boy gets a little flustered

🟢 But does he mask it with cockiness? Yes. Yes he does

🟢 “Wow, this for me?” He’ll smirk a bit, dropping his bags on the floor and making his way into the bedroom where you lay

🟢 And then it could go one of two ways my friend.

🟢 Either you act all sub and cute- pouting back, letting him take control of you

🟢 Or you call him out on his faux-smugness, and watch him fall weak to you

🟢 If you chose option 1, he’ll probably take it as an opportunity to further things and fuck you- cus that boy is ALWAYS ready to go if u know what i mean ;))

🟢 If you chose option 2, you get to watch his soft side come out and it's CUTE as hell

🟢 He’ll be like “y/n stoppp let me be cool…”

🟢 Either way he fuckin loves when you wear his clothes. Surprise him in a t shirt and nothing else and he’ll SLAM you into a wall and kiss you til you can’t feel your lips istg

[learned-foot]

I mean, ANYTHING you have fun thoughts about, but if you aren't sure, but I'd like to hear how you came up with the idea for Resilience, or just tell me what Peter's thought process was in Still Use Work. Ooh, and I liked how things escalated in And Again and Again -- how would that AU be if it was Tony in the time loop instead, do you think? ... you don't have to do all of this. :D

AHH. Okay, these are great questions, and you’re getting answer to all of them because I’m self indulgent like that :P

Still Use Work -- I thought about this a lot, actually. Because this entire premise is a little cracky, and really just an excuse for iddy porn, but I also wanted it to seem plausible to the characters despite that. That’s always my goal—this is fanfic, and a lot of what I write is tropey af, but I want it to be believable, too. And I felt like Still Use Work really pushed that boundary. That’s why I had Tony have so many moments where he acknowledged this whole premise is insane. It wasn’t meant as lampshading it, exactly, but I just didn’t think he would do this without a few “wait, WTF am I *doing*??” moments.

So, anyway, as for Peter. I don’t think the premise was entirely faked. He *had* tried hooking up with some people at college, and he *did* orgasm really easily. But what those hookups really did was convince him that no matter how hard he tried, the only person he really wanted to be with was Tony. That’s why he went to him: it was a roundabout attempt at seduction with a thin veer of plausibly-ish deniability.

I also think he was *pretty* confident Tony was interested before he even asked. He never would have, otherwise. But like…only *pretty* confident, you know? And as things progressed…well. On one hand, he’s smart enough to know Tony wouldn’t be doing this if he wasn’t interested, but OTOH, there was just a little bit of niggling doubt, because Tony kept it so strictly “professional.” You know the emotion where you have a huge crush on someone, and you’re *pretty* sure they have a crush on you, too, because they flirt, and they want to spend a lot of time with you, and all the signs are there…but then you question it, because they haven’t made a move to directly ask you out, or kiss you, or anything? And yeah, neither have you, but only because they haven’t, and roundabout you go, both not making the move? I feel like Peter was there the whole time. Like…Tony likes him. He KNOWS Tony likes him. He has to, he wouldn’t be doing this otherwise…except then, why won’t Tony just *say* that?

Which is why he is so ready to retreat back into his shell as soon as he thinks Tony is blowing him off. This is actually a dynamic I end up writing a lot, I think—Peter being *pretty* sure he’s reading Tony right, but ready to back off as soon as there’s even the slightest hint he’s wrong. We see him behave that way in FFH with MJ, and I think the tendency towards doubting what is right in front of his eyes would be magnified x100 with Tony, because no matter how obvious Tony’s feelings may be, there are so many reasons for Peter to doubt Tony would feel that way about him.

Thoughts on the other two below the cut.

Resilience is a fun example of why I like exchanges—because they can inspire me in completely unexpected ways. I’d been wanting to write something for downjune for a while because she wrote me the absolutely amazing The Leash. And while I knew I wasn’t going to be able to repay her anything nearly that long or involved, I wanted to do something, you know? And then I had a little extra time in the days leading up to Trick or Treat, so I decided to check out her prompts, and was drawn to two prompts: “came back wrong” and “sex to remain human.” It felt like those could combine in some way, but I wasn’t initially sure where I wanted to go with that at all.

I was also really, REALLY into Peter!whump at the time. I mean, I’m *always* into Peter!whump to some extent, but I feel like I go through thematic phases with my Starker writing. For instance, last spring/summer I was doing a lot of romance tropes—that’s when I did my “thinks it’s just a fling” duo of Under Someone Else and Expiration Date, plus whatever the fuck Breaking Point is. Around the time I wrote Resilience, I had just written Not So Bad, as long as it takes, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and was working on Feels Like Something and Far From Okay, so making Peter hurt was really on my brain. So I wanted to incorporate an element of that, too.

Because Trick or Treat is a Halloween exchange, my initial idea was to go more in the monster-y direction. I played around for a bit with the idea of Tony coming back vampire-like, with literally needing to suck Peter’s blood to stay alive/not go on a killing spree. But I feel like that’s a YMMV kind of thing, kink wise, and I wasn’t sure if downjune would like it. But that’s what got me onto the idea of Tony somehow needing something of Peter’s life force to stay human, or stay resurrected, or something along those lines, which turned to the idea of sex as restorative, which eventually kind of backed its way into the idea of “oooh, what if being around Tony is painful?” Because that way I could make Peter hurt and then make sex fix it!

And Again and Again—Great question! I think it would take a lot longer, honestly. I think Tony would be less likely to go to Peter for help, and instead think he could muscle through on his own, which would mean it would take him a lot longer to get to Strange and get an answer. Though maybe how it would happen was that at some point around month two he would have a breakdown and decide to go sweep Peter away from his internship for a day because he just wants to RELAX, and Peter helps him do that…

[literally-just-mirio-headcanons]

Please write a Mirio x female head canon of Mirio and reader having a baby

Any day I get to make Dad!Mirio headcanons is a good day oh gracious

You two are in the kitchen one Saturday cleaning up from breakfast.

"Oh! Mirio I think I left a pan in the oven can you grab it for me?" you say over your shoulder as you wash dishes.

"Oooooof course Honey! Lemme see"

You start drying your hands and turn around to watch as he opens the oven.

"Uhhh, Y/N? You sure you left a pan in here?"

You do your best to sound oblivious.

"Mhm! Why? Is it not in there?"

Mirio chuckles a bit as he pulls something out of the oven.

"No, sweetheart there's just a bun in the oven"

You smile and wait silently and give him a couple seconds to process what he just said.

"What's with that cute smile? All I said was-"

He does a cute lil gasp and looks at your stomach

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU'RE!! I'M!! WE'RE GONNA BE PARENTS!!"

He's laughing and smiling so much

Mirio could put the sun to shame with the light that's radiating off of him right now.

He'll pick you up and spin you around, absolutely overjoyed.

As soon as he puts you down hes crying though so be prepared

Mirio is gonna like-

Choke sob. 😭

Hes smiling but oh honey please hug him.

So overwhelmingly happy.

This probably goes without saying but be prepared for a lot of relaxing because Mirio insists you chill and let him take care of everything.

Even like small stuff that you can DEFINITELY still do easily.

"Y/N sunshine noooo I got this pls relax!"

"Mirio...babe I'm literally just folding clothes I'm Fine"

Yeah ok he is a lil extra in the beginning.

for sure

But he starts to get the hang of it after a week or so. You may or may not have left books on his nightstand so he could understand what to do and what to expect. Which helped him a ton.

Y'all heard of protective Mirio now get ready for: Protective Mirio x100

Stairs are his enemy now that you're pregnant

Oh gracious stairs make him so anxious.

Makes sure hes right there with you in case you fall of anything.

You most likely wont notice that hes more protective during pregnancy tbh.

Because it doesnt really like show through action so much as it does that Mirio is hyper aware of every thing around him all the time now.

I'm not saying Mirio already had a piece of paper with names he thought would be nice but-

Yes I am. I'm saying that. He's always wanted a family and there were names he wanted to remember for when the time came y'know?

When he leaves for hero work in the morning he always kisses you and then your tummy and smiles and says "I'll see you later too kiddo"

Also does this when you're going to bed.

There's alot of tummy kisses.

Hes just got so much love for this kid already!!

Mirio is over the moon excited to meet them!!

He talks to the baby a looooot. Its sweet.

You wake up from a nap hearing him read Goodnight Moon to your stomach.

He's a smidge embarrassed but "I just really wanna make sure the baby knows my voice!!"

Hard to walk? Don't wanna move?No problem, Mirio is 100% cool with carrying you everywhere.

He already really likes carrying you

so now that it can be a bit more work for you to get around he'll just, swoop you up like it's nothing and happily carry you around for hours.

When you finally go into labor Mirio is ready to roll.

Y'all have an overnight bag with everything you need, and you two are out the door right then and there.

He'll hold your hand and do his best to comfort you through everything.

Will not leave your side, unless I suppose you want him to??

If so he's gonna be that guy that's just wildly pacing back and forth in the waiting room.

But the second the doctor says he can come in, he is yeeting himself in there

Comes in and gently smooches your forehead.

"How are you feeling honey?"

Cries so much.

So many tears

He's so happy.

He loves you so much! And he loves your kid so much!

👏there's 👏so👏much👏love👏

Keeps smooching you and the baby's forehead.

He's so ready to be a dad.

[permian-tropos]

you know what I want to creatively vent so I’m going to break down one of the doctor who episodes and then do little script ahem doctoring

and obviously my taste in fiction is not the same as everyone else’s etc

I’ll talk about the spiders and donald trump episode so spoilers for the spiders and donald trump episode

problem one: the spiders

something went wrong with the special effects in this episode but not in the way I’d have expected. besides really bland mis-en-scene the effects themselves were acceptable. the huge ass problem was that the actors did not interact with the effects with verisimilitude. there were scenes where it’s like when the actors were told the spiders would be big they all were told to expect tarantula-sized and not medium sized dog size, because they really undersell the reveals. there’s even one shot where the bodyguard bursts into not donald trump’s bathroom where there’s a spider the size of a bull and he’s staring and aiming his gun down like this one’s medium dog sized. and then when the spider is the size of a dinosaur, they sort of act like it’s the size of a bull.

the webs have the same problem. they kinda look like halloween decorations but they’re still too impressive for how unimpressed the characters are. you have them walk into an apartment that’s absolutely coated in the stuff and they’re like “hmm there’s a lot of spiderwebs, a bit fishy that” when realistically their first thought should be “uhh this is kind of realistic for a halloween decoration”. usually bad effects are where the actors have to pretend something dinky looking is really impressive. but here, moderately impressive moments are killed by underacting.

problem two: donald trump

the main problem here is that he’s good in concept and some moments kind of half work but a) the acting is stiff and too blunt about shallow trump signifiers and b) he’s… likable? they have him do all these shitty things but he gets to quip and joke in ways you laugh with as well as laugh at, and sometimes he’ss like an audience surrogate especially since he’s the only one who acts like this spider thing is you know giant spider levels of aaaaaa. despite never doing a good thing he gets away with it with a mild scolding, unless he’s going to be a recurring villain, and it was a really defanged satire. because it couldn’t evoke the essence of why trump sucks and could only recreate the surface, imo it shouldn’t have been a direct one to one parody. they should have just created a character around the traits of a vain, vapid, boorish American capitalist.

problem three: the finale reveal

the finale reveal is that not trump’s company was dumping toxic waste which caused the spiders. there’s actually the raw material of quite a good story here, but this reveal really isn’t a twist or a clever deduction. they just spend the plot walking around until they find the place that has the answers and then the story practically decides to stop on its own. this reveal would have worked if it had been pushed way back into the middle of the episode, so that the scenes coming after it would be exciting and the scenes before it wouldn’t be tedious. doctor who often pads out plot progression with silliness but usually the jokes are, like, funnier, and the illusion of a faster pace is maintained.

time to play doctor. script doctor. script doctor who

first of all. we’re told the spiders have been acting strangely by this science woman. completely told, without a shred of showing. if we’re cramming more content into this thing, why not cram some scenes of not-massive spiders acting weird? we can meet some minor characters around the city, and have a few comedic scenes of spider shenanigans. spiders in the park. spiders in a high school. spiders at the day spa. spiders in a pub. you know that microfiction that goes “but she was already pouring him a brimming glass of spiders”? that whole seven sentence story has a more entertaining use of spiders than this episode.

second of all. the trash that yaz’s dad has been keeping. almost any screenplay would do the chekhov’s trash in a rule of three, but this story hasn’t watched film buff youtube. add a scene where he’s picking the trash up from outside. there’s a comedy element to it idk. this episode really taught me why you need the Three. setup, reminder, payoff. and the payoff needs to be better. you know what the story obviously needed? for the dad to come back in and contribute to the ending. and the ending needs to be something actually happening.

so third of all. the biology of the infinite spider growth thing is bad but it really doesn’t matter. the emotional core at the end is the fact that the spiders are victims of circumstance too. the doctor should have had a more complex relationship with the spiders throughout the show  — and like, this could have been an amazing call back to the racnoss episode, showing how 13 approaches this differently from 10. but while she tries to be nice to the spiders, it’s not in a very meaningful way. also, she doesn’t really face the obvious dilemma of “the spider is about to kill someone but I also don’t want to kill the spider”. 

my gut is saying that back in davies who, there would have been at least one moment of the doctor letting the spider feed off of them. maybe I’m remembering a moment like this actually happening in that era of who? but I can’t recall any specifics. anyway there would be one big very hungry spider that wants to eat — maybe even faux trump — and the doctor would be like “take me instead!” and get dragged off an cocooned. either faux trump, since he was played softened and established to also hate real trump, would get a redemption arc around this, or he’d be ungrateful and bad to the end and someone like his bodyguard might get this redemption. the doctor would be found in a cocoon near death but it would have turned out that her alien biology let her survive and that this act somehow gave her a psychic connection to the spiders, possibly through something set up earlier in the episode. 

make a “world wide web” joke, we might as well. but for serious, if the episode established a few locations earlier where the spiders were acting weird, we could return to those locations and reveal the whole city has been connected and this is how they save the day. 

if the spiders are sympathetic in the end, incorporate the endearing qualities of spiders into the story. talk about mother spiders being protective of their egg sacs, and how artistic and beautiful webs are, and how strong spider silk is. do some charlotte’s web shit. make it a bit sappy. perhaps make it so the trash heap has some extra nasty stuff that has gotten out and that pollutant is the real danger, and the spiders save the day by swarming and wrapping up all the toxic shit in thick cocoons. it even might show how spiders are patient and industrious and good for the ecosystem, whereas in contrast, the resource extraction of not trump’s business ventures is the thing that traps local economies and drains them to a husk.

fourth of all. bring back murray gold as composer blease. guaranteed to improve the episode x100.

#my post

[htommo]

anyway i cant believe there are still people out there who dont think zayn and liam are in a relationship when:

zayn has been in love with liam since i can even remember 

THE PAIN 

:(

he knows liam’s entire music history

liam was in in love with zayn too but it took him a while before he figured it out (see tattoo section for more)

x, x

this masterpost

the vegas fight happened..... which led to the beginning of their relationship where we can see them being all loved up:

itunes x, x, x

germany x, x, trying to walk and early bird gets the worm was about zayn and liam, not louis and harry, x, x, :) :), x, x (germany is even more painful than the yougeneration video)

just as many ziam vids have been deleted as larry vids (e.g. x) 

it’s you before she happened

zayn titled his his entire album in alternating capitals just to disguise the sHe 

zayn whispered brave???? when he wasn’t even meant to be describing liam???? this isnt the only time they’ve fawned over each other either/showed how in love they are:

zayn’s always been there helping liam out

liam had a speech dedicated to zayn’s singing basically every night in the tmh tour 

they call each other babe

they’re literally attached at the hip

?????

?????

liam is little spoon

the soft waist touching??? x, x

liam is zayn’s teddy bear???

they influence each other :( and have the same interests :(

they inspire each other :( 

i need to stop (pls note the lap sitting) 

:(

flirting galore

what is this

this wasnt even meant for public consumption he just wanted to tell zayn he loved him :(, and zayn did the same another time :( 

kisses? jealousy? liam only letting zayn touch his head???

!!

larry AND ziam mirroring and again, and again

more body language!!!

:) :) :) (see section u in particular - liam can’t get comfortable) 

they get jealous too  

they love each other

:)

:(

ok boys

i hate them

:(

subtle 1d day things

liam looked distraught every time the z*rrie “engagement” was brought up (and shook his head when someone asked zayn if he was sure: x)

liam said thank you when someone congratulated zayn on his engagement 

this happened??

all this happened too (including liam saying the rings are gonna get lost) 

see i like your skirt mary’s vids for more 

but zayn and liam are probably most definitely engaged if not married:

:) :)

zayn gave liam a cartier love bracelet

they both have rings

liam’s ring (x) which he replaced with a ‘4′ tattoo which represents an angel aka zayn

zayn’s ring which he replaced with the tattoo below:

zayn has a mandala tattoo which pakistani brides get aka they are marRIED (and a follow up post)

liam’s already married :) :) :) (to zayn if u hadn’t caught my drift)

whilst we’re on the topic of tattoos:

we are the quiet ones is about zayn and liam 

zayn literally has liam’s name tattooed on him

zayn literally has liam’s outline tattooed on him?? dont @ ME 

roses are very important to the boys (liam even got them tattooed TWICE and they mean ‘i love you’) 

‘i figured it out’ and you and i 

liam figured out that he’s in love with zayn and you and i is their song - it’s so important to him that liam got the lyrics tattooed :) (from x)

liam always sings this song to zayn too (x, x) and zayn sings it back

their tattoos match :)

both have constantly made reference to having beards (see: zouiam beardy boys, zouiam ‘progression of beards’ (go to 4 mins in), zouis ‘you grew a beard’ ‘i do have one actually’ ‘so do i’)

(some of this section is only available on mobile)

liam... literally had........ beard..... auditions......

p*yzer 1.0 is shady as fuck and p*yzer 2.0 is definitely fake

z*rrie is fake

also the niall/s*phia weirdness

s*phiam is fake as fuck and rbb predicted the breakup with a 5 day countdown

do i even need to explain why ch*am and z*gi are fake 

z*gi and z*rrie are the same relationship

all the stunts follow the same storyline 

rbb predicted bg with ch*ryl aka colgate 

x

also zouiam avoiding girl questions led by liam 

“c’mon then, c’mon” is a thing (i.e. a literal confirmed ziam kiss)

also the toothpaste kiss!! 

:) (from x)

they constantly share/match clothes (esp on red carpets) 

x, x, x, x, zayn’s pocket square literally matches liam’s shirt??, x, matching bracelets

their family loves BOTH of them

they all hang out :)

zayn’s aunt constantly likes ziam posts on ig

their friends love them too

they have pets together (x) 

liam does not have a baby :)

that’s a post in itself so tl;dr liam shaded and predicted bg by calling a doll thrown on stage a fake baby multiple times, along with louis 

they both support the lgbtq+ community

liam cowrote on home and end of the day which are lgbtq+ anthems e.g. :) 

x

x, x

they are still!! together!! (because zayn leaving was a stunt and all 5 boys are still friends, x !!, x !!)

liam’s constant positive talk about zayn since zayn left 1d (x, x)

he even said i love you zayn during the ot4 history performance on txf (don’t @ me it happened) 

:)

sure sounds like they’re on bad terms!!!! 

they still love ziams news :) wonder why :) 

they! are! together!

:)

they communicate through their clothing

liam wants to collab with zayn

ziam linkage in the media

lyric parallels (get low and fdtd)

x

???? niall?????????

:)

sharing even in 2018 :)

liam brings up zayn at any given opportunity and is always up-to-date with his zayn facts and he can still do zayn’s accent spot on despite the fact that they’ve not publicly seen/spoken to each other in 3 years 

do they even have separate wardrobes at this point?

ZIAMI

ziam love roses 

zayn is liam’s protector

zayn confesses his love for the 1023923490234823th time in let me and i am not ok

this needs a point all on its own

they kissed at an award’s show

fighting the closet

ziam being extra x100

everything in this tag

ziam in comparison with larry?

why louis and harry’s closeting didn’t work, but zayn and liam’s did

they ARE TOGETher

this is definitely not an extensive list (there has definitely been more stuff but this is already long and i can’t include everything because there’s too much) but if u wanna add something feel free (if u want more ziam content, u can check out my ziam tag!)

see also my liam is not straight post

also look at i like your skirt mary’s videos 

tl;dr they are in love; always have been, and always will be
