sorry if this is controversial but i want to know, does the racism and orientalism that hyv is doing bother you at all catte? personally its a really heavy thing with me, and i dont like... hearing about positive responses(? i do not know another term) sorry if this is uncomfortable to answer.

Discussion of leaks, racism and orientalism utc !!

Aight aight, I'm gonna try to make this as concise as possible because this is important as hell, and also to bring awareness to the ppl who follow me who might not be aware of the issue.

It definitely does bother me–– what hyv is doing, generalizing and whitewashing a whole bunch of cultures and ethnicities present in the middle east is not okay. We've been knew that hyv is racist and orientalist, given their track record with the lack of poc characters despite long-time feedback and (from what I've heard) the stereotypical orientalist content in ToT. Although people were genuinely hoping that maybe everyone's negative expectations would be proven wrong and that more poc & culturally-accurate characters would be introduced in Sumeru, the leaks were a huge letdown. It was disappointing, but overall not super surprising.

Literally, if you look at the leaks, an absurd number of the characters are light-skinned. Their archon, who is typically viewed as the figurehead of the country, is a pale girl in a white dress. Nilou, Dori, and Dehya's designs are blatantly orientalist, almost to the point that you'd think their main reference for design had been Aladdin or smthn. Whatever, back to the point. Fact of the matter is that this company is perpetuating a harmful stereotype with these character designs, and they are inaccurately representing a very real group of people. And as it was pointed out on twt, this lack of representation feels all the more disrespectful considering all the care and attention given to Yun Jin's design, too.

Point is, the racism and orientalism is definitely present in Sumeru, and although I'm crossing my fingers that for once the complaints will be listened to and a change will be made, I'm not getting my hopes up. Disliking praise for the designs is a totally legit thing to feel, with all of this going around, and its a totally understandable thing to get upset about.

#Cw Genshin leaks #Cw orientalism #Cw Racism #kisses from catte 🦩#And honey if the rumors are to be believed that natlan will be a mix of africa and the ph?? I am gearing up for The Worst™️#Its late at night and im sick from my booster shot so if i didnt touch on as much stuff as i wanted im sorry but i hope y'all get my point #I won't be taking any asks that defend the racism and orientalism present in the leaks aight #if any of y'all send me shit about how 'dori's design is cute tho!' or whatever im throwing it in the trash #Tbh I'm probs gonna extend my hiatus even more?? Bc atm the genshin fandom is kind of Not It rn

Puggy Buggy

Domestic Head canons and general comparing Buggy to a Pug

Like a Pug his bark is worse than his bite. His screams could be compared to this.

Man SNORES like a pug and bull dog mix from hell

Loud dad bed shaking snores.

You swear the bitch has sleep apnea.

You literally have to smack him awake or manhandle his ass into a better position for him to breathe in.

Jerks awake with loud ass snorts when you kick or smack him awake. You only do it when you're worried he's gonna suffocate so he's never mad about it; he'll pull you to his chest and snuggle you and mummer a "sorry" before falling asleep again

If his snores just wont let you sleep, you'll wake him up in more pleasant ways. Lay on his chest, he has an automatic cuddle response that he'll wrap his arms around you, and drag you into Him, changing his position to do so.

But at this point his snores are white noise to you.

You actually can't sleep well without hearing him, its too quiet without him snorting and snoring away next to you.

Buggy is also a dog in the way that he has been asleep and Farted so loud he scared himself awake and nearly fell out of bed

You nearly pissed yourself laughing at him for that.

He was so fucking embarrassed but eventually your infectious laugh sent him into his own fit of giggles till you both had tears in your eyes, and you personally got to the point of laughing like a strangled seal.

Mohji and Cabaji ran to check to make sure you both weren't dying because you were both cackling so loud.

You and Buggy had residual giggles for a day after

Man Has Dad™️ Sneezes

Also Burps so goddamn loud and long and is Proud of it.

You egg each other on. Complimenting each others burps and challenging eachother. You are pirates after all.

Richie has you both beat though.

Def gets a distended Stomach after a feast and bingeing. You pat and smack it gently. He swats at you for it. But if he gets a tummy ache he'll BEG and plead for you to rub his belly till he feels better while his head is in your lap or on your chest.

DRUNK BUGGY is something

The man can handle his booze but there is a LINE and he can and will cross it on rare occasions. He regrets it every time.

Shit Faced, plastered, Sloshed Buggy, is a whole other LEVEL

He cannot stand and walk on his own,

You also better be keeping track of potentially detached body parts. Though they're very slow when he's this trashed.

He has to be touching you, HAS TO BE

You literally have to hold his dick so he can piss straight.

Will throw up before the night is over. Hold him so he doesn't go over board.

He lives in the latrine after that point.

You're holding his hair and rubbing his back. The whole nine yards.

If you manage to carry his ass to bed when he cannot puke anymore, you better prepare for the next day.

Water water water.

Hes so fucking dehydrated.

Who left him in Alabasta overnight?

His head is pounding. Is it attached to his body for is it in a barrel in a hurricane? He does not know.

You're gonna be babying him all day.

You thought he was pathetic before?

Oh Honey.

He gives new meaning to the word when he is this hungover.

You gotta wait on him hand and foot.

He'll cry out all the water you put into him.

Hes a fun drunk, but majorly depressed when it comes to BAD hangovers

With your TLC though he'll be cured the next day and beg you to never ever let him get that fucked again.

He worships the ground you walk on 100000x more after that.

The man will literally do anything for you. Not even within reason.

Want him to get you a pet sea king? He'll find a way.

Want him to send a buggy ball at the Marine hQ? He'll find a way.

Literally anything.

---

This has gotten massive so imma end it here!

actually. i gotta ask. mod, have you ever witnessed the alear gender war that swept through the engage tag sometime ago. it was a goddamn Time™️

just one person remaking their account again and again to call anyone who likes mlear a misogynist. saying over and over that flear is just Objectively Better. that people only like mlear cuz he's a guy. trashing the manga because it doesn't have flear.

they nearly passed me like a ship in the night if they hadn't called two of my mutuals racist for not liking timerra

everytime they got criticism they'd just nuke their blog and make a new one that we recognized as them immediately because it was all the exact same horseshit

it was. a time <3

flear supremacist, if you're reading this. i wish you got therapy or a hobby.

I was there but ngl i don't think one person causing chaos equals a war

anyway that person (at least i think its her) has been blocked from this blog for spamming the exact same take into my inbox but worded slightly differently. Multiple times.

"I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a school novel, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited."

- Ursula K. Le Guin

It's been understandably popular to take pot-shots at Harry Potter lately because of JK Rowling's truly disgusting and reprehensible comments lately. This quote above by Le Guin, which I agreed with even while a teenager, got me thinking about my own views on the series and apropos to nothing, I felt this was a better place to expound upon them than Twitter.

I have a knee-jerk dislike of the very human condition of saying we, "Always knew something," after the fact, that we "Always knew" someone problematic™️ was problematic or we always knew this thing that was popular was Bad Art after it became less popular. I find it intellectually dishonest.

So I'll preface all of this by saying: I had minor issues with the Harry Potter series back when it came out that went against the mainstream view of it, in that I thought it had many good qualities as a book series, but not enough to warrant its popularity compared to other, similar YA and fantasy series. I was genuinely baffled by its superstar popularity but as a fantasy book reader in the days before it was easy to access online fandom, I would take what I could get and I certainly didn't mind fangirling about Harry Potter stuff with friends even if it wasn't my #1 favorite series of all time. I enjoyed the fanfic for Harry Potter immensely so that allowed me to sort of blend in with those who enjoyed its popularity. (Special shoutout to MY favorite Harry Potter book of all time, "Harry Potter and the Battle of Wills" by Jocelyn over on fanfiction.net, that was MY Harry Potter series lol.)

So here's the thing, it's easy to say, "I always hated Harry Potter" or "I always knew it was trash" and that's a lie. For me, the truth is:

I enjoyed Harry Potter much like I did many of the fantasy series of its day.

What they had going for them was their pacing, whimsy, and inherent mystery structure in the first 3 books. They're fast, fun, easy reads with a likable protagonist. They are not bad books. But as Le Guin says, they're stylistically ordinary and imaginatively derivative. There's a lot of books like them.

I did not think the books were better than Pratchett, or Gaiman, or Garth Nix, or Dianne Wynn Jones, or any of the many other fantasy authors I was reading at the time. I was confused by their popularity as compared to better books like Pratchett's Discworld which, while popular, never got a theme park made for them in terms of order of magnitude popularity.

Now, JK Rowling on the other hand I had some issues with from the start, if not the ones that emerged later with her being a bigot. It is worth mentioning for the sake of intellectual honesty that decades ago, she gave a lot to charity and was a voice for tolerance in the early 00's when Bush/Blair, the Iraq War, etc were in full swing. It makes it all the more heartbreaking and baffling to see her swing towards bigotry on LGBT+ issues. Truly, a lot of young people first learned to stand up to fascism and be accepting of those different from them because of Harry Potter, just like they did reading the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card, and in both cases it's absolutely heartbreaking and so very confusing to see these authors fall to the very dark side they wrote against in their books. I have no answer for how or why this happened. I don't say this to make an excuse for either of them, simply to express confusion and mourn the loss of someone who was once a voice for some level of good in the world.

Now, my issues with JK Rowling were writerly, and they are the ones I feel somewhat empowered to say I "always knew" and "always had an issue with" and that, like the worst sort of hipster, "I talked about before it was cool".

Really my dislike began when JKR very famously said in the early 00s that she didn't read any fantasy before writing Harry Potter. Considering how derivative it is (heck, Neil Gaiman already had a YA series about a black-haired wizard boy with a scar) it left one wondering if she was lying or she truly was that ignorant in the genre in which she wrote. Either way, not a good look, and it soured me towards her pretty permanently as an author.

Terry Pratchett, the author I would actually follow into Hell, criticized her for this comment and got a lot of flack for it, asking how in the world she could not realize she was writing fantasy. This solidified my opinion of her as something of a hack, even if she had stumbled upon a winning story. Neil Gaiman also chimed in saying he didn't feel ripped off but seemed to tacitly agree with Pratchett that her lack of institutional knowledge about fantasy was odd.

As a big fantasy fan of the early 00s, I can say that fantasy was still a bit of a forbidden genre (at least in the Anglosphere), one not taken seriously. So for JK Rowling to be asked if she wrote fantasy had a layer of nuance, basically she was being asked if she meant to write a fantasy novel, ie, in a "lesser" genre, barely above dime story penny dreadfuls in value.

No one literary would admit to writing fantasy at the time, it was a whole thing where if you admitted to writing fantasy you were "downgraded" as an author in terms of prestige (Stephen King went through a lot of this). BUT, if a fantasy book achieved popularity, it was labeled as "literary" so the literary folks could claim ownership of the quality genre fiction, and never have to admit that "literary" is a genre and not a mark of quality (a deep-seated rage button issue for me and a rant for another day).

So when JK Rowling said, "She didn't know she was writing fantasy." That meant something. And what it meant was she was throwing the rest of the genre under the damn bus. With her visibility she could have helped actively tear down the biases against fantasy (something she did indirectly with the popularity of her books). Or she could have simply had humility and said she wasn't as versed in the genre as she should be given where her book ended up being shelved, but there's a lot of good works there and she's honored to be among them.

She did neither. She stuck to her ignorance (what would become a common trait of hers, apparently) and did very little to elevate others in the genre, or the genre itself, and indeed, seemed to try to distance herself from it in what was the safe move at the time.

I cannot stress enough how intellectual dishonest, arrogant, and safe it was for popular writers who got dubbed "literary" when they were in fact writing genre fiction to cleave to that title of literary, guard it jealously, and refuse to acknowledge that literary is a genre of its own, not a mark of quality. To be labeled "genre fiction" was to be considered "lesser" and that stigma is still out there, though much lessened by the wave that began with the Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and the Marvel films making so much money and really setting up genre fiction to at least be seen as lucrative if not artistic. We have come a long way from how fantasy was viewed 20 years ago.

JK Rowling also said she wrote no other books before Harry Potter. That's another puzzling instance where either she's lying, sold her soul to the Devil (and hey, maybe she did and he's collecting by making her turn into a frothing bigot), or was simply a more lucky and less skilled writer than people realized. Every writer has a closet full of short stories and novels they've written before publishing their first work. I can't stress enough how bizarre it is for her to claim she never wrote anything else before putting pen to paper with Harry Potter, that simply does not happen. Then again, her later books make it seem more likely that is true.

Writerly aside, but JK Rowling is utter garbage at structure. She lucked into the perfect scaffolding for a basic plot with the Harry Potter school year, but as Fantastic Beasts and her other, non-school based plot structures reveal, she didn't realize what a crutch that was for her because the woman does not and has not learned how to build a plot that isn't strung up on the structure of a school year for building tension and story beats.

Look, JK Rowling has always been a weird author. She really did come out of nowhere in terms of previous works. She doesn't acknowledge her peers in the genre that built her fortune, not even to confess that while she didn't know about them, she's now learning about a wonderful rich genre out there. She went the other direction and disavowed fantasy (it's possible she backtracked since and had nice things to say about the fantasy genre, I'd love to hear it if so).

There was in fact always subtle bigotry and a ton of tokenism in the Harry Potter books. That said, in the 90s, that was pretty par for the course, and she deserved some kudos for making the books so explicitly about fighting fascism, even if I'm not sure she fully understood her own themes.

To say these books were unpopular or that they had no writerly merit at all is intellectually dishonest. They were popular for a reason, mostly because they're fun. However, they were not unique, there were many like them, she got very lucky and it's bizarre how little she's acknowledged this or her peers. Of all the negative tendencies any human has, I'm shocked and dismayed that her tendency to stick to her ignorance like she did with the wider fantasy genre is the one that won out and was transferred to LGBT+ issues, to the point of doing active damage to her works and brand. But as her attempts to branch out from Harry Potter have further confirmed, JK Rowling was always a stylistically ordinary writer. Her mean-spiritedness didn't stand out as much in the 90s but it absolutely does now and it's ugly how she leaned more into sticking with the moral heights she reached at that time rather than trying to learn and grow as a person.

JK Rowling went full Whedon and figured because she was slightly ahead of the curve in the late 90s that she had nothing more to learn and it hurts when people who are creative, people whose job it is to have empathy for other walks of life, never learn or grow and stick to their old laurels that are increasingly out of date. I personally don't think myself as a hardcore Harry Potter fan, I have no horse in this race for the redemption or lack thereof of JK Rowling or the book series. I can only offer my view as a fantasy writer and someone who grew up through the cultural phenomenon of these books.

But, as usual, Ursula Le Guin was right, I agreed with her then, and her words have only borne out more and more with time.

Headcanons about the toilets because fuck you /silly (or as I like to call it: Toilet Behavior™️)

Very social and tend to be in groups. You see a toilet by itself, chances are it's not alone.

Will eat basically anything that can fit in their mouth, edible or not. It's not uncommon to see one sticking its head into a trash can looking for scraps. They still prefer actual food over trash, though.

Can understand human speech! They just can't talk back. What a shame.

Like to sleep in the bathrooms of abandoned buildings. Their natural habitat. :)

Surprisingly dexterous for beings that don't have arms! If you gave one a pen to write with, they'll pick it up with their mouth and be able to do so fairly well. Having a weirdly flexible neck also helps.

Most toilets retain their memories from when they were human, but the memories are always fragmented in some way or another. Some toilets may have their memories fully in-tact, but aren't able to remember names or faces; others may only be able to clearly remember one or two things from their past life. Everything else is just… blurry.

My love for Barry (HBO) is so strong so feral so unhinged … once we get to the Emmy season you will need to sedate me because I will become ungovernable I will start making tumblr post about pushing Jason Sudeikis down the stairs and about Succesion being trash and I want you to know that I don’t actually mean any of those things but I will say them because the Barry Viewing Experience™️ will be rattling the bars of its cage inside my brain.

so i've been reading house of earth and blood (currently ~300 pages in) despite being a known disliker of sarah j maas because come on. we all need a healthy amount of trash in our lives and so far the main thoughts rotating in my brain about it are:

the use of 'male' and 'female' instead of just like. man. woman. person etc. bothers me so much. i twitch every time i read it. like why does half this novel sound like an incel forum

"alphahole". why.

how does bryce have functional feet she wears 4-6 inch heels everywhere

unforgivable sin of ms maas to have a whole chapter at the start just be characters walking and talking. i understand the need for exposition. but its a whole chapter of literally just walking and talking

if this novel was just about hunt's backstory i would unironically eat it tf up. he's by far the most interesting one

i quite like the bryce-hunt dynamic i will confess. already places this book leagues above her others. I've heard book 2 ruins it but shhhh I'll enjoy it while its tolerable

how do you pronounce ruhn (rune? run? I've been saying it as rune but like???)

lehabah is baby girl

seriously ms maas write a book just about hunt. i will buy it

legitimately though, she has a longstanding problem with handing us characters whose most interesting trait is their background. i don't want to read about their dull romance. give me the guts and gore war backstory as a novel! please!

bryce is well and truly aelin lite™️ and its both hilarious and very annoying

the copy of this book i bought was 9 whole dollars and i can't decide if it was worth every penny or worth approximately none of them. schrodingers dollars.

honestly i'm enjoying it more than i thought i would. it's a bit like the book version of a reality tv show. still think the writing could be a bit more up to par both in style and maturity for an adult fiction novel, but it's whatever. a solid trash read i may give a full review when I'm done

#sarah j maas #hoeab #crescent city #house of earth and blood #anubis reads #anubis yells #anti sjm #not as anti as usual because i actually am having fun with this #but still its fun in like a reality tv show way #not in an on this is well written literature way

BELTEMPEST REVIEW (EDA #17)

a pretty (bad) book. 1.5/10 for doing my boy dirty.

i don’t usually rate anything this low, but many confounding negative variables really fouled up the plot and characters for me. if you read more, beware: there will be excerpts and major spoilers.

here’s my general perspective: this is the dr who christian sonic the hedgehog fanfiction. it has so many buckwild scenes (like the doctor building a forcefield device that protects a spaceship that crashed on an island from a huge tsunami, and subsequently surfing the tsunami literally to the white house oval office window and having a conversation with the president), and the plot is one giant jesus metaphor that starts nowhere and goes nowhere! so if that’s your thing, you’ll love it.

however…. imo, the doctor is extremely obnoxious in this one. like in war of the daleks, he goes on long pretentious rants, talks in riddles, the quips are trash, and he occasionally feels more like seven (probably bc jim mortimore wrote 4 VNAs - it really surprised me how bad this book was, i’d never have guessed that jim also wrote “the natural history of fear” audio). here’s an example:

he’s like this from the very first scene (p.14):

i know the doctor is kind of a clown sometimes but this dude is a whole court jester, with bells on. it’s too much for me. he talks in amusing little circles, which might be interesting as a one-off in a much better novel, but becomes a dragging constant in this one. i also hate how he constantly talks down to people like a smartass caricature.

here’s some dialogue that i did enjoy, because it felt shockingly substantial (almost out of place), and expands on a scene from scarlet empress:

that was on page 93. the only part i really liked.

the plot orbits around the turbulent sun Bel as it begins to expand, scorching and destroying many of its 22 inhabited planets. ever since the peoples of Bellannia II, IV, XIII, etc. developed space travel, they’ve been dumping their radioactive and toxic waste onto a dead little world, which falls into the sun; little did the Bellannians know, a giant alien embryo was incubating in Bel’s warmth, and their pollution threatens to kill it. dun-dun-dun!

it’s kill the moon. it’s just 249-page kill the moon, but now with a melodramatic Rapture subplot.

right…. okay. just read this:

she ate 💅✨

anyway. millions if not billions of Bellannians are killed as the sun consumes or breaks apart their planets, and some of them turn to a traditional religion that encourages suicide (achieving an “Endless State” through eating poisoned wafers), but many of them are Actually Saved™️ by a little guy you might have heard of called…… Saketh.

the plot was kinda convoluted but essentially he was burned to death but came back, and now anyone who consumes his flesh will live forever (from what i gather, they die but they’re in suspended animation purgatorycore? and they’ll be brought back to life later? but the book ends abruptly and doesn’t explain much.)

i obviously hated it. i really wanted to try to like it, but i couldn’t take it seriously. jim mortimore’s style feels purpley and theatrical, but instead of erring on the side of camp, it feels like it’s meant to be genuine religious/political commentary. it’s serious like how christian sonic fanart is serious. maybe i’m just not the right audience.

the intro might be one of the most interesting sections, given how personal and anthropological it feels: it tells two versions of the deaths of two brothers, who are among the last of their people. it was pretty good, i liked it. but not really the rest.

so yeah. overall, 1.5/10. this is in my bottom three worst EDAs so far. it’s a pretty harsh rating but i’m generous when my appreciation is earned :/

#it was wacky as all hell from start to finish #also he REALLY pushed the idea that sam wants kids which didn’t really feel consistent w her character. didn’t like that #doctor who #eighth doctor #sam jones #edas #undescribed

Awhile back you said it took 2 years for you to do Darren's redemption arc, and I was wondering what made you stick to writing it out? I know Darren's done some awful things in the story and I'm betting some of the comments you got on him (and Juan) were merciless. I feel like its difficult writing characters who are bad™️ because once they do a certain thing, people's minds are made up and they want them out the picture immediately. How did you push through this?

FRIEND.... let me tell you... lol

I got cursed out, unfollowed, blocked...

I had someone create a new account just to come back and finish their tirade! It was a messy 2017-2020 lmfao anyway....

I think for me it was a matter of challenging myself? How do I pull an Iyanla on a character everyone hates? Don't get me wrong, there was a small cheering section in the corner who were very vocally team Darren. But most were torn (including myself) because Indya's prospects were slim (there was a very short-lived team Juan corner...). I already had her shipped with Darren but as another reader put it, I had written myself into a corner with him. I think it was at this point (realizing I was stuck with an abusive, gangbanging, stalker-ass dude) that I chose to focus on the growth capacity of Indya and Darren. And THAT is the part that took a couple years to write.

I stuck with it because we as humans are notorious for throwing people like Indya and Darren away. We call them trash, we judge every little thing they do. They're hood niggas. They're beneath us. And I don't like that as a human myself. People who grew up like Indya and Darren/us deserve paradise. So, sticking with it was just writing what I believed would happen to an actual person who survived the things Indya and Darren had to, to survive. Darren, specifically. Also I know people like Darren personally so it was just important in general for me. I appreciate this ask because the reason it took so long is you have to be extraordinarily careful about redeeming abusers.

#story stuff #good question!!

Spoilers for Spiderman 2099 comics (1992 run), I guess

Also, beware: rant incoming (and I know comics aren't serious enough to need rants, but I'm just sooo annoyed rn)

What in the actual hell was D*na's death scene?? And the entire chapter (issue? I'll just call it chapter) for that matter?? 💀

I like Miguel as a character, whether in the comics or in atsv, and I'd even say I like them both the same amount, although I like them for different reasons

One of my main problems with comics miggy is actually his relationship with Dana, she's so annoying, I get this very distinct boiled unseasoned chicken vibe from her, and she's consistently been giving those vibes for the entire story and then suddenly they wanna make her into some martyr?

I don't think there's anything anyone can do in a single chapter to make me gaf about her or her death, but if you were gonna try to do that anyway you could've given me a chapter that's not Like That ™️!

Their entire relationship in and of itself gives me the ick, what with her kissing Gabriel near the beginning and getting with Tyler Stone (that alone is a cancellable offence) in no time after breaking up with Mig and then in one single chapter you give me the details of how in creating this bland relationship they cheated on Gabriel and Xina which are practically the best 2 people in this entire trash fire of a story, or some of the best??

Like, what the hell is that face, man?! I'd also ask what the hell she's wearing, but almost every single person in these comics has had questionable outfits (except my best girl Xina, of course, and I'd say Lyla but technically she has like 1 outfit and Xina made her, so)

And we're supposed to think all's well and fine and how romantic (?) Or whatever reaction they wanted people to have other than laughing to this? Because Miggy shaved some frankly embarrassing facial hair?

I mean, the entire story has its moments, though neither those moments nor the story are the best, but this chapter is just catastrophic levels of cringe and bad

Outta my face with that cheesy shit!!

LONG ASS POEM, from the heart, TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ™️ published on Wattpad

As it were,

As it be,

The roots of affliction I see,

Are an inferno,

A pilgrimage all masochists know,

Where the ashes of fallen angels,

Flurry like snow,

And a frigid furnace,

Is the only source of glow,

Being only a stones throw,

Away,

I approach,

Not to be led astray,

As Innumerable feet have paved the way,

And how could footsteps,

Stoop to betray,

To my surprise,

I find,

When I look with my eyes,

An insurmountable mountain of lives,

Bodies piled to the somber skies,

Juxtaposed,

To smoke stacks of proportionate size,

Only in focus,

Do I realize,

This Rick is diverse,

Some silent curse,

Has killed more than any one hearse could hope to carry,

Faces benign and scary,

Smooth and hairy,

Young,

As well as old and wary,

all terry here,

No fear,

Simply vacant stares far and near,

It appears,

Their only purpose, is to burn in this furnace,

What did they do to deserve this,

This place is earthless,

And they are it's fuel,

Next to these cadavers,

Many a radiant jewel,

So, I move to inspect,

As I'm naught but a radiant fool,

Now,

What I find is so cruel,

Lost memories in a shimmering pool,

This,

Is the gruel of the devil,

I become disheveled,

Unsettled,

All these shiny pebbles,

In this pool,

We're loved ones left behind,

Good times they could never rewind,

And sentiments never opined,

This is such an intimate find,

That I feel sick,

So I flee quick,

And bump into,

What must be a terrible trick,

Before me is a lit wick,

And I'm wholly bewitched,

As it's flame twitched,

The shadow it cast pitched from side to side,

This stride was the silhouette of the devil,

Dancing with pride,

Around those who died,

Of course,

I elected to hide,

While this shadow danced around its pride and joy,

I am by no means coy,

So I begin to wonder,

If this is a ploy,

To cloy me away from my apathy,

I had to ascertain,

How this came,

To be,

Where I was exactly,

And if my own demons were used to entrap me,

So I set off for the windswept streets,

Excluding my heartbeats,

The solemn ashes silenced all,

Dimming my acuity,

To that of a sleepy fall day,

Once I made my way,

Back out to the streets,

I was met with the manifestation,

That trauma secretes,

A place where mental perdition greets it's guests,

with fiendish feelings,

City blocks,

Butchered into skin peelings,

A plenitude of bomb blasted ceilings,

Shady dealings,

And horrors congealing,

On buildings burnt to a crisp,

Architectural vessels housing naught but a wisp,

Of smoke,

This is not a joke,

This is what my mind's eye sees,

As I close my eyes,

And my mind's eye bleeds,

Now,

As my minds eye proceeds,

I perceive,

The haunting daydreams of the stricken,

It begins when the winds whip in,

Across this avenue of nothing,

The buffeting,

Carries screams of pain,

Oaths to maintain,

Incredible horror,

As I explore more,

The atmosphere becomes poorer,

For the future of me,

I happen upon a fellow junkie,

And a vision of what must be,

His own sordid past,

Cause as he watches his life turn to trash,

He turns to me,

Shoots up,

And turns to ash,

How could this fadeaway bypass,

His bygone lash,

Of time,

His body, soul, & mind,

Are entwined here forever,

To remind us,

That maybe oblivion is better,

Than heaven or hell,

That maybe the wounds of the past,

don't heal so well,

And there's nothing you can do,

To save yourself from history,

As this occurred to me,

It unnerved me,

So I had to hurry on my way,

This onslaught of decay,

Began to belie,

The backdrop of ' everything's ok ',

Slithering in my veins,

In my aimless trek,

Apparitions of others pains,

And all their past strains,

Display an insane show,

The further I go,

The less I know it seems,

But these dreams,

Are unsuitable scenes,

To be the means to my end,

For as an acrid fog,

Begins to descend,

And puts an end to my sight,

I'm confronted with a door,

Not ornate or poor,

Smooth or scored,

Just a regular door,

An entryway into the evermore,

Of my thoughts,

After turning its knob I see lots,

A tangled web of jots,

Senseless scraps tied into knots,

Buzzing like wasps,

And now I know the cost of my game,

In the recesses of my brain,

I finally notice a family in pain,

Over there,

A beast untamed,

And there,

A darkness,

I simply can't explain,

Indeed,

I also perceive,

A carefree need,

To be me,

And to love,

An interest in the stars up above,

And the redolence of a sweet scented,

Summer shrub,

I see mental illness,

And the mischief that it plays,

Bloody Razor blades,

Shredding skin to count the days.

And my mistrust casting a doubtful gaze,

But where do I dare to direct my boots,

at the roots of my affliction,

Addiction,

Ana entryway crooked in its mission,

Dying To be my mortician,

I picture my apparition,

In high definition,

The people I’d haunt,

Rending a spiritual incision,

I open its door in a wary position,

Stopping to listen,

Before I peer inside,

I've arrived,

At a torture chamber lined with shelves,

Stacked atop them,

All the different hells,

For me,

I push open the door,

And step in quietly,

It's dusty,

I've long ago abandoned,

It's crusty surfaces,

I see sharp objects,

With hurtful purposes,

And I'm sure this is,

My own trauma treasury,

I pick up a blood soaked memory,

And it stares back,

as if to say,

Remember me,

I remark that I do,

And that it hurts to touch you,

It spits back " fool! "

I'm the one you should listen to,

I could have all that I would,

The what is with the should,

If I could,

Just,

Put down,

The needle,

quick tbp x thg ramble so it makes sense (i had a conversation with myself while pacing my bedroom about this so i need to write about it)

cw: spoilers for the hunger games and blood/gore mention!! (i dont think its that heavy, but still)

okay, so in the actual HunGER GAMES, book and movie (well i don’t remember if this was actuallyin the book, but whatever) Johanna takes out Katniss’ tracker in the qq3 so that the capitol can’t track her when d13 saves her, and so on and so forth. also, it could also be because they didnt save peeta and johanna cause they probably didnt have their trackers romoved, therefore d13 didn’t save them. annie’s a different story but im not gonna talk about her rn (i stil love her very much tho dont get me wrong💗). even though im not 100% sure if thats the main reason for them not saving peeta n johanna (but im sure it may be A reason), since its been a hot minute since ive read/watched thg and i may have forgotten something, so yeah there.

And how does this play into my tbp x thg au? well,,,, (turns on geek mode) d13 reached out to billy first, since they thougth he was capable enough to get finney&friends™️ to d13 somewhat safely. with this, he was obviously instructed to remove their trackers, so he did as he was told. well, he tried. he told vance about the plan after he realized how kuch he was willing to sacrifice for bruce and griffin, and soon enough, the others,and since he thought he was more capable of doing the act of removing the trackers (you have to actually GET IT OUT of your arm, for those who didn’t know) than he was. Vance said sure, but removed his own tracker first. Why? cause he knew it was a painful process and billy urged him to. anygays, billy got finney’s tracker out, but he and vance had a hard time getting robin, griffin and bruce’s out cause

1. Finney would not fucking leave robin’s side, and everyone knew that he would probbalh go berserk if they even tried to touch robin, let alone CUT OUT A GASH ON HIS ARM. (btw, billy cut out finney’s arm during that same time period that johanna did for katniss in the movie and/or book if it happened at the same time (my memory is trash))

2., because vance was so hesitant to potentially harm Griffin and Bruce. Yes, he knew it was for their own good, but at the same time. He had to cut out the specific section of the arm, and he thought that if he did that, then Bruce amd Griffin would think he was kust that merciless killer the capitol made him to be. Plus, he couldn’t just *tell* them why he was gonna do what he was gonna do, cause the capitol was watching their every move. billy kept urging vance to do it when their time in the arena was nearing to the end, and vance just waved him off, saying that he will soon (spoiler alert, he didn’t.)

so yeah, that’s why bruce griff and robin got stuck in the capitol, and another reason vance blames himelf (hes not okay guys). when the rescue team set out to rescue the three, they were obviously more confident to take out their trackers (i know for sure that the capitol gave them new ones) compared to vance and did NOT hesitate ripping em out (they needed to get out of there quickly).

wowe that took a while to type. sorry not sorry @meepmoopweeeeeeeeeee

#help #silly mood #im going insaneee #the black phone #the hunger games #tbp x thg au #vance hopper #billy showalter #finney blake #robin arellano #bruce yamada #griffin stagg #angsty angst angst angst #hehe #my mind goes wonderful places when left alone #ignore typos please or im goijg to sob #im a digital yapper myself

I follow you primarly for your hux fics and you my ✨favorite✨ when it comes to writing him! Could you sauce us up with some domestic hux? Its been years and he still holds a special place in my heart 💕 you can make it dirty if you'd like 👉🏼👈🏼👀

Modern Domestic! Hux Headcanons 💖

warnings: nsfw (18+ only), mentions of oral and fingering (f receiving), piv sex, somnophilia, and lots of domestic fluff 🥰

okay, so first off, whatever Hux does for work, it takes up a ton of his time

he's busy, he's stressed, and he's always a little pissed at the incompetence of his employees

he spends most of his days on the verge of ripping his hair out

so it's just really wholesome that he gets to come home to you

he likes it when you're waiting for him on the couch in your robe, like a little housewife

there's a sweet little ritual where you'll mix him a drink and lead him to his chair, rubbing his shoulders as he sips, pressing kisses along his neck

he forgets work soon after once he's pulled you into his lap, one hand reaching for the tie on your robe

he definitely doesn't look like it, but this man fucks

no matter how exhausted he is, he's determined to get you off at least once a night

he likes to press at your wet folds with the tips of his fingers while you sit on his lap, or have you lean against a wall while he licks at your cunt from behind

with his hair falling in his face and his hands circling your thighs, he feels like you belong to him

sometimes he gets a second wind in the middle of the night after you've both gone to bed

there have been a few times you've felt him slip your pajama pants down over your ass, cooing at you to shhhh while he presses his cock against your tight, slick heat

there's something messy and unabashed about those moments where you're both too tired to keep quiet—just hot, wet kisses and insistent hands

morning sex is a little more rare, since he has to shift back into work mode™️

he still blushes when you help him tie his tie while he's getting ready, or press kisses on his nose and across his cheeks cooing about how handsome he is

on rare days off, he likes to treat you to little outings

after all, why is he making so much money if not to spend it on you?

he really will buy you whatever you like

and it's especially fun if you're shy about it

he loves to silence your worries with a kiss before handing over his credit card

clothes are obviously a given

he could spend all day sitting on a dressing room couch, watching you pose for him

lingerie is also a biggie

he doesn't much care if you're wearing the lacy things when he gets home at night, but you do sometimes send him photos while he's at work

and that's got him sliding the lock on his door every time 😏

on days where neither of you really feel like going out, you'll spend all day in bed together

he loves to cook for you on those days—breakfast, lunch and dinner

he's a surprisingly good cook, and looks very cute in his apron

watching movies together, or reading in silence—it doesn't matter what you're doing—he's just happy to be with you

you're just his favorite person in the whole world and he feels so lucky to have you 🥺
