#like im sorry i love the 90s run too and i have a lot of sympathy for the strain the team wouldve been under while corp bullshit was

90s run PAD has this rlly annoying trend where he very often write a female character being in love w miguel and suddenly her entire character shrinks down to the scope of what drama this provokes and it's near continually in service to the narratives of men (Gabriel and Miguel interpersonal drama for example). even when there are actually interesting things to be mined from this angle like w lyla its like. this is a pattern w you dude.
#my GOD we lost kasey nash in the wars skdfhjkdshfkjs#like. it sucked. the fact she goes from a revolutionary to primarily a wedge between gabri and miguel SUCKS.#for some reason its like folks pretend PAD also literally wasnt writing the kronom arc where character assasination is happening#left and right to prop up dana as a martry. when like he was literally just writing that.#like im sorry i love the 90s run too and i have a lot of sympathy for the strain the team wouldve been under while corp bullshit was#exploding above their heads but like. the fact PAD appears to like. just not be fucking bothered to explain what#danas thought processes are flipping from one belief to a wildly opposing one is just bad and tbh LAZY writing#and this is happening dozens of issues before the worst irl circumstances for the team even cropped up#tunes talks critical#can u tell im on my period lmao#tunes talks 2099#like even regarding xina. i think she escapes the worst of this writing treatment from PAD but like. the fact that the dimension PRIMARILY#explored in the text w her is around her relationship w miguel is honestly really disappointing. i LIKE that dimension yes but there is so#much more to explore with her! does she have friends outside of miguel (and if not does this tie into her apparent isolation from alchemax)#how does xina operate as a relatively independant and implied self employed individual in this world of corp monopolies#she CARES about the truth and fighting back against false narratives spun to consolidate power and profit so how does this extend into her#normal life? does she know about downtown when education wise this seems to be something utterly ommitted? what does she think about it?#what kind of hope did she hold regarding angela's work?#if she believes miguel to still work at alchemax why is this not a point of conflict between them? does she fear losing him? did she give#up trying? etc etc etc there are SO many compelling dimensions to explore w her and the text keeps them#largely sublimated to background details in the art. or what we can interpret as sublimated conflicts the characters dont want to address#but in terms of what is in the TEXT i want more. i want more as someone who really loves this fucking thing lmao

after dating shu for a year, you realise that shu never really gets mad or rilled up about anything. a part of you just wants to see how much you can tease shu before he ticks. after coming up with a plan, you start putting it into action. you changed out of your pajamas to put on shu’s t-shirt, being completely naked underneath. you purposely chose a shirt that wasn’t too long so that it only covers you down to the middle of your thighs.
shu was in the kitchen getting a drink and taking a small break from stream. you walked into the kitchen and wrapped your arms around him, pressing your chest against his muscular back. “hi baby, how’s stream going?”
“oh hi babe, streams going great! i’m hopcon-ing with shoto and a few other people from nijien, we’re having a lot of fun playing hahah. everyone’s taking a short break now so i’m here getting some water.” shu feels your hardened nipples against his back but he chooses not to say anything about it, thinking that you just wanted to feel comfortable — which is why you weren’t wearing any undergarments underneath the shirt you were wearing.
you give him a soft kiss on his neck, letting your lips linger there for a few seconds. you then wish him luck for the rest of the games before unwrapping your arms and walking over to the cupboard beside you to grab a snack. you grab the bag of chips and “accidentally” drop it on the floor, “oh oopsie!” you bend over to pick it up, giving shu the perfect view of your nether regions. shu’s eyes widen at the sight he’s seeing and turns away with a blush painting his cheeks.
you stand back upright with the bag of chips in your hands to see shu walking back to his streaming room, “i’m heading back to stream now, i’ll see you in about an hour babe!” you smile and think of how to execute your next move.
an hour passes by and you hear that shu has finished up stream. he tends to stay in his streaming room for a little, scrolling through twitter and seeing what he missed while he was streaming. you stand up from the couch and plod into the room. shu hears your footsteps and turns around to face you as you’re walking through the door. you walk over to sit on his lap sideways, then you turn 90 degrees to straddle him, wrapping your arms around his neck. shu holds you close and rubs your back slowly, you move a hand up his nape to the back of his head, pressing your cleavage against his face slightly.
“babe? you okay?” shu looks at you, concerned.
“yeah, why?” you smile while running your fingers through his hair.
“i don’t know, you’re just hugging me tighter than usual so i thought something was up.”
you took the chance to adjust yourself on his lap, brushing against his crotch slightly. shu inhales sharply, still looking at you, “don’t worry baby, nothing’s wrong, i just really missed you that’s all.”
shu hums and continues rubbing your back, enjoying feeling you close to him. “i think i’m gonna go take a bath now babe, care to join me?” you ask cheekily as you unwrap yourself from shu. “u-uh…no thank you, i don’t think i will.”
“okay then.” you chuckle softly and brush your hand against his crotch again as you’re getting up from his lap. you then exit the room, leaving shu frustrated and his erection straining against his pants.
Tumblr media
when you get out of the shower you see shu laying on the bed, playing on his nintendo switch. you realise that the standing mirror that you guys had was in front of the bed. shu looks up and turns the switch off, putting it on the bedside table. he sits on the side of the bed and motions you to come towards him, “sit on my lap babe.” you do as you’re told and you look at him confused.
“take all your clothes off.” he commands. you were surprised but not complaining at how commanding shu was being right now, it was actually turning you on. this was what you wanted, he was rilled up and god, it’s hot. after every piece of clothing has been stripped from your body you sit on his lap again, waiting for your next instruction.
“turn to face the mirror and spread your legs.” you follow his instructions and blush when you see how lewd you look in the mirror. shu starts leaving sloppy kisses down the side of your neck, while his hands cup your tits, kneading and massaging them. you moan softly in response, your gaze fixed on the mirror, watching shu touch you. shu leans away from your neck to whisper in your ear, “was this your intent? to tease me so that i’ll lose control?”.
“m-maybe…” you stutter out, a moan following after as one of his hand snakes down your to your core, his finger sliding up and down your slit, sometimes teasing you by inserting the tip of his finger in and taking it out again. you whine and moan from shu’s teasing, “b-babe please- ah! i…i want m-more.”
shu hums and taps your clit gently, sliding his finger down to your slit again before inserting two fingers into you, pistoning his fingers in and out at a fast speed. “ah-! baby…ah-! oh fuck! yes, faster!” shu leaves more marks on your neck as he finger fucks you, your eyes rolling back from the pleasure.
“shu- baby! i’m gonna- ah! c-cum!” right after you said that shu stops and pulls his fingers out. “naughty girls don’t get to cum, not yet at least.” he smirks and raises his fingers to your lips for you to lick off your juices. you suck on his fingers, sucking it like how you would his dick. shu looks at the mirror and groans at how hot you look taking his fingers into your mouth. he takes his fingers out of your mouth and move them down to your pussy again to play with your sensitive clit. he starts tapping and rubbing your clit; you being on the verge of cumming, you start jerking your hips up to create more friction, hoping to help yourself cum.
shu stops, plants his hands on your hips to grip them and says, “move an inch and you won’t be coming tonight.” you whine in frustration, having no choice but to obey him. shu slowly moves his hand down to your pussy again, alternating between sliding his finger up and down your slit to rubbing your clit and then edging you till you’re about to cum before repeating the whole process again.
after being edged for a good 10 minutes, you let out a noise that sounded like a mix between a whine and a moan, “babe please…i-i-i-“.
“hmm? use your words babe, what do you want?” he whispers against your ear again, his hot breath fanning the shell of your ear.
“please let me cum baby, please…i-i need it so bad…” looking in the mirror, shu sees that your eyes were brimming with tears from all the teasing and edging. shu coos in your ear, “aww you sound so cute when you’re begging for me to make you cum.” he kisses your cheek softly and plunges 3 fingers into your sopping core. you yell out his name and you arch your back, moaning and stuttering incoherently as you get closer and closer to your climax.
“ahh-! fuuuck! i’m cumming!” you finally get your sweet release and you don’t think you’ve ever came this hard in your life. you slump back onto shu with your eyes closed, taking deep breaths as you come down from your high. shu litters soft gentle kisses along the side of your neck and down to your shoulder. you squint your eyes open and chuckle softly, “i think i have to tease you more often babe.”
“ah... so it was your plan after all. also um…we’re not done yet, there’s something you need to take care off — it has been begging for your attention for a while now.” your eyes widen at shu’s words and you thought: oh boy, it’s gonna be a long night.

hi! could u write something about lit and the reader cuddling and theyre just like being cute and cozy together blahblahblah u get what im saying<33
Cozy - Kit Connor x reader
Summary: Kit and you get cozy on the couch.
A/N: I got this request, and I had lots of fun writing this piece. I hope that you like it, it isn’t as strong as my others, but I hope that it makes you smile! This is one of the first requests that I’ve done, so I hope you enjoy. Also sorry it took forever to reply to, I’m still on vacation haha, but I’ll be back home on Saturday. Happy reading - mac
“I guess we could watch tv or something?” Kit said after the two of you had finished listening the back side of the queen record that was playing. “Maybe there will be a movie on that we can watch?”
“Sounds good,” you said, flipping off the record player, “if not, we can always check on Netflix too.”
You followed Kit over to the living room, it being his house and all, and watched as he flipped the television on. Kit took a seat, as did you, beside him.
The two of you were sitting closer than “just friends” but far enough away to be “something less than lovers.” This was another parallel in your confusing relationship.
Your relationship with Kit, as lovely as it was, could be confusing at times. The two of you knew that you shared mutual feelings of fondness for one another, but neither of you had acted upon them just yet.
After flipping channels for a while, Kit stumbled upon the 90’s hit staring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, “You’ve got Mail.” Your favourite movie.
“You still like this one right?” Kit asked, relaxing back into the sofa letting his arms rest on the top of the grey cushions.
You turned to face him with smiling eyes, “are you kidding?! I love this film!”
Kit looked at you with kind eyes, “and we have our show to watch!”
The two of you sat in silence, occasionally making a remark about the plot or the characters, you were comfortable and at ease in kits presence.
“Mind if I turn this up a bit?” You asked, noticing the remote on the coffee table in front of you.
“Go ahead!” Kit said, “you should have said something if it was too quiet.”
You shook your head, “well, the part with the music is always louder!”
Little did Kit know that you needing to turn up the volume on the tv was just a way to re adjust your seating position on the couch.
Sitting back down, you inched yourself closer to kit, now the two of you only inches away. Your hips pressed together lightly and gently.
You looked to kit, smiling lightly, “is this okay?”
Kit laughed, grinning, putting right his arm around your shoulders. Pulling you into an side embrace. “So I see that the volume of the tv didn’t need adjusting after all,” he laughed.
You rolled your eyes, running a hand through his blonde hair, tousling it around in a loving matter. “I suppose so!”
You could feel the warmth of kits body radiating through his grey sweats and navy hoodie, his side pressed up against yours, his sting arm around your side. His scent was clean and woodsy, something along the lines of sandalwood and the warmth of a fall night.
The two of you lay intertwined on the couch, comfortable with one another, in a cozy embrace.
“Well aren’t you two all cuddly,” a young voice from behind said.
The two of you turned your heads to find kits younger sister standing there with a grin on her face.
You turned to Kit, smirking, “well I suppose we are.”
Kit smiled at you, “very cuddly indeed.”

hey what’re your thoughts on bnha rn. you’re like one of the only dudes i trust with opinions on this manga/anime lmao
LOL idk why im one of the only guys u trust for manga/anime opinions BUT SURE do you mean like... what do I think of the current plot? or mha in general? (I will answer both. i love to talk) current plot: (SPOILERS) It's clearly the final arc and its clearly taking longer than Horikoshi intended lol. Overall it's decent shounen fare? Nothing mindblowing but it's well drawn and weekly developments r fun so im not complaining. I'm not the type to get rly invested in villains so AFO/shigaraki even Dabi are only interesting to me thematically and as characters I don't rly care but the visuals are cool enough. I love the pure white negative space hair and Horikoshi clearly loves AKIRA LOL. I will say I LOVE the ongoing Boku No Open Heart Surgery saga that's going on with Bakugo though. I love that they have to save him in some ridiculous weird power-based way lol, normal first aid would be booooring!! + I think its smart for the manga to keep him teetering on the edge of death and flashing his lifeless body every 5 pgs (lol) because it means even if the final fight drags a lil I'll keep tuning in.
in general: There's a lot of shounen manga out there but there's only one shounen manga that caters specifically to people who love the school aspect of x-men comics so I think I'm pre-disposed to love mha based on that alone. Beyond that, I love how idiosyncratic and energetic horikoshi's art style is.. I feel like the two things u can tell right off the bat abt his drawings is that he draws rly fast and that he rly loves his characters lol. Evident in the sketches he puts on twitter and the bonus content in all the tankobon volumes (it's also great for ""content""" he's a good content creator), he's always coming up with situations and outfits and concepts on the fly for those kids like they truly live in his brain. Also the more I read the more I realize I actually quite enjoy Horikoshi's writing too? I think he really clearly grew up with and adores paying homage to corny shounen superhero stuff but he's also very genre savvy and (I think) purposefully avoids a lot of common criticisms and pitfalls. Like the power scaling is pretty tame, the adults never truly give up responsibility of the kids & continue to own up to mistakes/endangerment (but never so much as to prevent the kids from doing cool action stuff!! duh), the cast is relatively well balanced despite being so big etc etc... It's not perfect, there's pretty significant failing on gender parity, and some of the pacing is way better in archival format > week-to-week but it's pretty good overall. Also its funny?? I feel like in the midst of 9486135613 action battle series + generic anime comedy we forget to address when something actually has good jokes and i think mha does. The aoyama cheese stuff made me laugh, the kids protesting biased commentary was funny as hell, and honestly i think mirio distracting afo with his ass?? funnier than naruto's final yaoi no jutsu imo. Sorry if you wanted me to dish out criticism I know its kind of popular to hate on mha rn because it's pretty generic low-brow shounen. And also adults who obsess over yaoi-ifying these kids are like the butt of the joke on the internet rn. But I don't rly run in fandom circles, it's just a solid manga to me with fun characters. Actually 90% of the reason I started reading mha again was because I listened to the mangasplaining ep abt it recently and they made me remember how much there was to like! Good to listen to if you want a more fandom-free objective take on the manga. Also Horikoshi credits all of his assistants in a bonus page in every volume! just a cool thing to note! kinda rare for a mangaka and kind of important for a series that requires as much assistant work as a wsj shounen. I feel like the amount of assistants that have gone on to lead mha spin off manga projects is kind of testament to how good his relationship w them is.
Ok thank you for reading my long thoughts. as a reward heres some drawings of deku and bakugo as splatoon characters that ive been sitting on for a while and have yet to finish LOL

“it’s his job not to be soft” is crazy when a) what in the toxic masculinity, b) he was yelling at them in the second half, and c) he was brimming with anger in the post match interview saying it was unacceptable … it’s honestly a bit sickening time and time again to see all these micro aggressions against sonny. especially ppl who compare him with kane like why is kane shown so much grace for his bad games and sonny is not lmfao despite being instrumental in possibly our greatest achievement since 2008 (cl run). think we all know why really
like it's fine to say 'cor sonny was shit today' because he was, and it's fine to say if he's on a bad run of form too such as times like last season (not his fault) but this person was also questioning his commitment to club and the team... im sorry but you just cannot ask for more from a player. he's one of the committed players to the club i've ever seen, and even if kane had stayed there was no other candidate for the captaincy in my opinion. it HAD to be sonny. i have never once looked at him and thought he was lacking any effort, not even last season when there was a few players who i wasn't sure were quite putting their all in (understandable, they were playing under conte after all)
and yeah so what if sonny isn't a shouty person? players are allowed to have a 'softer' personalty. we know sonny has such a good relationship with his teams mates on and off the pitch that they'll all run through a brick wall for him. he's the bridge between all the players and language etc... people were also a bit like this with hugo as if he wasnt vocal on the pitch and would be angry when needed in interviews like sonny - people seemed under the impression he never fucking spoke lmao. there's also been some talk around this in how people talk about odegaard and his captaincy too... just because a player doesn't go around CONSTANTLY shouting a la henderson or roy fucking keane like its still the 90s doesn't mean they're not a good leader for being 'soft' it just means they have a different leadership style and personality and there's nothing wrong with that. there's definitely some racism when it comes to people thinking sonny's soft, imo. (it's also funny when you consider that rival fans think that sonny is some horrible dirty player who goes around trying to purposefully injure players because of a spell where he was petulant and got 2 reds and then his foul that lead to aurier breaking gomes' ankle... 2 completely differently views of him lmao)
look, i'll always love kane for all the goals but yeah, he really could do no wrong in a lot of spurs fans eyes. even when he went on strike. like COME ON, no other player would have been forgiven so quickly after that, and no other player wouldnt have it held against them. going back to the commitment thing, sonny would NEVER EVER pull a stunt like that. it's really annoying that people don't see that sonny is just as - if not more- committed to us than harry was. he could have pushed for a move every summer for the past 5 years and hasn't. sonny ALWAYS stepped up in kane's absence (as seen in the champions league that year). can't even say kane was afforded extra grace because he's an academy lad when you look at how our fans have treated other academy players over the years so what does that leave... i don't think people quite realise they're doing it, tbh (same with the 'soft' comments)

hey! its it ok if i just speak here a bit? feel free to delete if not
i’m a syskid but i feel like i don’t really relate to most things for littles, as i’m very independent and generally a bit older than most stuff is aimed at (i’m between 11-13). i have all of the body’s memories, even if i can’t think about certain things, so i can come off even older to outsiders combined with our autism and general not remembering being that age
our system struggled a lot with being taken seriously when we were my age, so i dont really front much or interact with little-focused spaces mainly because they feel demeaning to all of us. luckily irl i mainly just look like we’re being Extra Autistic. mainly i struggle with both wanting to be treated like the age i actually am while still being independent. i want to be able to do colouring pages and make potions and speak like i want to and still have people respect my ability to think for myself. looking at content aimed at a general little audience feels like all the worst parts of being a kid, and i know that most of it is made for younger kids by systems with littles, but it still annoys me that there isn’t really a “mainstream” tag or term for people like me that isn’t 90% sanrio aesthetic binkies and advice posts covered in clip-art which always have “get an adult to help” with basic tasks. I just want a well-known term that doesn’t make people immediately think im a toddler that needs hand-holding through everything, or that i’m faking because i sound “too old” to be a sys-kid.
at least i have my family and partner system, who are very good about supervising without telling me what to do, sorry if this made no sense
- Mae (no pronouns / name-as-pronouns), with help from mom
Hi, Mae! We have a syskid in our system who’s 11, and your experience really resonates with them! It was also really felt by our host, who is 14 (and cofronting right now). It’s true there aren’t many spaces for systeens, systweens, or middles that we know of, and that really is a tragedy. You mentioned you wish there was a well-known term for littles like you, and any of those words (systeens, systweens, or middles) may apply!
There really should be more representation for older syskids out there… If any of our followers run or maintain a space for systeens/systweens/middles on Tumblr, please feel free to reach out. We would love to put together a blog like this, but that may be a bit much for us to take on (what with our like 12 other sideblogs and all!).
Best of luck to you though, Mae! You seem like a bright kid, and we’re sorry you’ve been struggling to be taken seriously! You’re always welcome to vent or ramble to us here, and we’ll do our best to listen and provide support. Take care, and have a great day!!
🌸 Margo and 💫 Parker

unironically i started playing honkai seventeen days ago just for aventurine and I think I'm physically ill for this man. like gahhhh hes so silly. i have nearly 80 pulls thjat ive spent literally all my time grinding for, and I'm at 60 pity and I will literally kill someone if I lose the 50/50 .90% of gamblers quit before they hit jackpot and similarly 90% of Honkai Star Rail players quit before they win their 50/50. 90% of Honkai Star Rail players quit before they get E6 Aventurine. I need him so bad. Like I wouldn't be mad if I lost the 50/50 to like, Clara or something because I already have her from standard banner and I love her a lot, but if it were to literally anyone else I'd just start mauling people yk. I don't even know what that one kid's name is but he has blonde hair and swords and he's from the Xianzhou Luofu (not that far in the plotline, havent met him yet) but if I lose my 50/50 to that kid I might just die.
Listen I'm not his number one fan, I wouldn't daer to insinuate that I even am, I don't even want to like, fight people for that title. I just really like him and I wanted to thank you for all the Aventurine content that you've been churning out. I'm not sending this on main because I don't want to be clowned on but yeah this is. Really Unhinged. Sorry.
Also I like Dr. Ratio more honestly. I like them both equally but Aventurine isn't out yet so the only thing I'm staring at is Ratio. I have to run around as Clara (not a bad thing, I really like her!! She activates my parental instincts) because if I play as Ratio I will just stop doing whatever I'm doing and stare at him. It's been ruining my productivity.
listen to me. that blonde luofu kid has made me lose 4 times. if i see his ass a 5th time later today i’m going to start tearing the doors off people’s houses.
i didnt even realize how much aventurine stuff i was making until another ask mentioned it and i checked his tag and like half of the top posts were ALL MINE 😭 sneaky little blonde son of a bitch snuck up and took over my brain while i wasn’t paying attention. i have literally been having dreams about him. just 7 more hours now
Tumblr media
i was actually messing with my ratio build earlier. he does ok i guess but he could be better… but i do have to admit i saw his design revealed like a year ago on reddit and i was like Oh my god?? like alright. slay i guess. and now i tell anyone who will listen that he’s a worm. what a weird guy… though i am a fan of his rubber ducky collection.
clara is who i got on the starter banner too ^_^ i wanna work on building her some more but im trying to build. every single character ever so its taking me a while to get back to her T_T

i hope i dont sound like i am immediately picking apart what you said because i basically agree with 99% of it i just wanted to add a couple of thoughts i had (this got so much longer than i intended i am so sorry)
I don’t like how he said to be mindful about the intentions of people who raised the question, because a lot of them had genuine concern about it being a possibility and this could have been a very serious and dangerous thing if it had been true.
i fully agree with what you said here - however i feel like the death threats/harassment he was getting kinda justifies what he was saying to an extent. in his position, i doubt he is looking at each and every account to figure out whether the individual was coming from a place of concern or was adding onto the harassment. i don't think outright dismissing things like this is a good idea so to speak, but to me it does make sense, from his pov, to tell people to be mindful. many of those people were coming from a place of concern, but i can see how some of it could have came off as less than such in addition to the threats he was getting even though they were mostly separate situations. if this hadn't been the case it would have rubbed me more in the wrong way, but i can understand why he would say it in this scenario even if its like :/.
however this is something i would encourage of everyone - he is not wrong to basically be saying check the source of where you are getting your information from. i would say 90% of the people talking about it were acting in good faith, but that is not always the case, and people acting in bad faith can still have good points that should be taken seriously. it is just something that i think everyone should take note of - in any situation everyone is going to have bias and if you're going to take someones words as fact you should recognize that. that goes for quackity's words too. he is obviously biased in one way in this situation which doesnt mean he is lying in every word he says, but take that into account when looking at what he says. same goes for the admins who speak out you know?
And great that he’s saying that there has been some restructuring made within the team, and hopefully these changes will only leave the studios with competent people who are good intentioned towards everyone involved. I won’t like though, I fail to see how asking for everyone’s feedback and taking it into account to make these changes wasn’t an option. Also the fact that this restructuring ended up causing them to massively letting go of all the twitter teams as well as some other admins is still an issue.
this is a double edged sword imo - im gonna take it in two parts. he says that the restructuring is good and full of people who are good intentioned, but there really is no way to know that? i am under the assumption that he thought the first set of people were good and they weren't, and im not saying we can't trust these people/his judgement, but there truly is no way to know until things progress. id like to trust that the new management is good, but im wary just because of everything and it is hard to put trust into the new managment without seeing anything come out of it. i know these things take time, but its hard to blindly trust that these guys are good when there is nothing to prove it.
on the twitter admins/other admins, as much as i do not agree with it, it does make sense. it sucks and i hate that it happened, but it was pretty clear that financially keeping the same amount of admins on the team wasn't going to work. removing the twitter admins seems like a logical choice (i loved what they did. i wish they weren't removed. but in the grand scheme of things it does make sense to let them go first because even if it sucks the life and some of the fun out of it, their jobs were not essential to keeping the server running) but the way it was gone about was so... not it. the way they were all informed of how they were fired was just not good. point blank not good. i dont know if there was a way to keep them on while being able to pay them, im inclined to believe at the moment he probably wasn't lying and there wasn't, but it doesnt change the fact that that situation was not handled well. they could have let them go with more communication to the situation. thats what bothers me the most.
Meanwhile people will discuss these topics that are so far removed from the main issue and focus less on what the admins went through.
THIS!!! i do understand why people have brought talks about lore and stuff into this conversation - it highlights what the admins went through using tangible examples lol, but part of me wishes they hadn't because exactly as you said. people focus on these issues and not the other ones! it happened at the start of this too, where people focus on the lore/story related problems (which isn't a wrong thing to point out) but in doing so kinda push away the other issues even if that isnt the intent. sharing these stories was not to complain about pushing x creators lore to the front and holding y creator's back but to highlight some of the conditions and i wish that didn't get misconstrued as much as i feel like it has.
Hey anon ! sorry if i took so long to answer but I’ve wanted to take the time to answer everyone of your point !
-I can also see where he was coming from, and I also don’t doubt that there were bad intentioned people in the lot (thinking of a particular group of people, i think you can guess who 🟩). It’s just that it paints people who have genuine criticism/concern as just being haters, and it’s not the first time he used the "things said by people with bad intentions" point so I’m kinda over it
-YES to everything you said about researching information !!!! Jumping to conclusions or blindly believing any piece of info you see is literally doing for harm than good for anyone involved, always always try to find sources source, fact check and look from an unbiased POV the things you see. Will never forget when the union released their first statement and I saw people either saying that they were a fake account trying to smear the reputation project or that quackity was going to jail, I was like « oh my, we are cooked » 😭
-Also agree with your next point, but as you said we don’t know who these people are (and I don’t necessarily think we should know btw), so we can only hope that they will be competent and caring people who will run the studio in accordance with the law and with better work ethics.
-On the twitter admins getting fired well first we can agree that the way it was done is fucked up. And I understand the difficulty of the financial aspect (to an extent, don’t ask me details about finance, idk shit about money numbers lmao), but it’s giving « Your work was very needed and appreciated while it was free, but now that we may have to pay you we can actually do without it, bye guys ». Especially ehhhh about it since multiple Twitter admins have expressed that getting paid wasn’t an issue, the working conditions were. Though to be fair idk exactly how volunteer work is regulated in every country the admins were from so this may have played a part in their firing.
-And finally yes, the distracting from what matters. Like fans can discuss whatever they want obviously, my argument is more about Q here, like dude are you really sure the main point of contention here is to debate whether or not you were overly interfering in other ccs lore ??? Don’t get me wrong, great that you’re saying it wasn’t the case but the main point of everything was missed by a mile.
Also don’t worry your ask didnt came across as you picking apart what I had said but even if it was, as long as you’re not rude i dont mind people coming to my askbox like « tumblr user pommunist you are wrong about everything and let me tell you why »

hey!! idk if tumblr ate my ask, the himeno brainrot has faded or if you just didn’t feel like it (which is so valid lmao no worries) but i would love to hear your headcanons for her!! xx
hiii so sorry !! i actually started answering ur ask when i was on vacation a couple weeks back and then i didnt have enough ideas and put it in my drafts....and to no one's surprise i forgot about it lmao so thank u for reminding me !!
also i can't NOT have himeno brainrot atp don't worry heheh
however im afraid I won't deliver too much on this bc instead of like individual headcanons ive mostly just filled in the blanks that canon left with my own things (often self-indulgent) and made up a life for himeno which i now basically treat as canon lmao (yes this is delusion central)
i will attempt this though but fair warning that a lot of the behaviors and things i associate with her aren't very wholesome or a jolly good time (i suffer daily with this brain)
(cw for mentions of addiction and a lil bit of drugs, i promise it gets more lighthearted after the first few ones lmao)
so, starting off strong, I don't think himeno spends a lot of her time sober. namely, i headcanon her almost always running on some kind of buzz. i think it's established that she handles her liquor well so i dont think it would be noticeable at work, but considering she trained under kishibe for a long time, i can see her having a flask of her own and sipping at it throughout the day.
in the same spirit, i think she would also take any opportunity to properly get wasted. friday nights with aki at her apartment, outings with the people from work etc, especially if she doesn't have work in the morning. i think maybe she believes she's more fun to be around when drunk.
i don't think these behaviors are about entertainment, but rather a way she's found to be more "functional" and able to keep doing what she does and uphold the carefree persona she's established, hence incorporating them into her life to the point of very rarely being stone cold sober.
i think she also doesn't like the idea of her family knowing about how she copes. maybe she doesn't answer her father's phonecalls sometimes, scared of sounding too noticeably drunk at noon on a tuesday. or she's often stressed about her sister's occasional surprise visits in case she comes over and finds himeno's place in disarray and her in a similar state.
apart from alcohol, which is basically canon, i once had a thought about himeno occasionally abusing pills. pain meds prescribed for recovering from a work injury hitting just right paired with some beer on the side one evening and boom yk. i bet it wouldn't be too hard for her, considering her line of work, to get her hands on opioids regularly enough, especially since the story is set in the 90s and doctors used to prescribe them left and right before the amount of patients getting dependent skyrocketed.
to complete the holy trinity of vices, again based on things mentioned in canon, i think himeno is also the type of person to sleep around a lot with distraction being the objective. she has a reputation for getting flirty and handsy with ppl from public safety when drunk and i think that speaks for itself. this is not inherently a vice ofc, but in her case I don't think she engages in this behavior being sound of mind. it almost never happens when she's sober and i headcanon her often regretting it at least briefly the next day.
oof that was a lot lmao. um chill anyways, on a lighter note i have a couple thoughts about her relationship with aki !!
i think it's a habit for them to take care of each other's injuries after missions. im actually writing a fic about aki showing up at himeno's doorstep, bleeding and expecting to be taken care of in his own begrudging, stuck up way lmao. i think himeno is less likely to straight up go to his house for that, but i see them leaving public safety and going home together to shower and bandage their wounds in companionable silence.
additionally to that whole thing, i personally do believe that their relationship could've had a non-platonic side to it, albeit still casual in its nature. leaving that aside, i think they share quite a bit of affection and physical touch regardless, considering how casually we see them invading each other's personal space in canon. so i think they sleep in the same bed a lot, after tending to each other's wounds, or getting too drunk in himeno's living room. i think it took a while for aki to stop being tense and relax into it, but they settled into a comfortable zone and it was sth they both needed more than they would ever admit.
fujimoto once talked about himeno and said that she is the type to leave a lot of her stuff behind at aki's place and u better believe i ran with it. clothes, hair brushes, a spare toothbrush in the bathroom, you can't change my mind. i also think that to some extent it goes both ways. himeno has a shitload of aki's tupperware at her place, from all the food he brings her weekly, and she never washes them unless aki comes over to do it himself and by the time he decides to take some back, there's always more. black hair ties are often littered in her bathroom cabinets and on one of her night stands. a book on her windowsill that aki brought to read before bed once and then never took home.
not to get dark again, but talking about them is bound to make me sad sooner or later :) based on the way she thinks about aki's death in canon, i think she would often panic when thinking about aki's shrivelling lifespan, especially at the beginning when aki had a lot of years to spare and surely used the sword more freely. i imagine her being restless in her bed with aki sleeping next to her, feeling compelled to check on his breathing or his pulse. reach over and touch his hand to feel him alive and warm, hoping it would soothe her to sleep.
i also think she's there a lot of the times aki cries. i bet the first time she saw him was accidental, or at least not a conscious decision on aki's part. i also bet himeno didn't really know what to think of it initially, but soon looked at aki under a different light bc of it. i think aki finds comfort in himeno being in the same room as the tears spill from his eyes after a day of watching people die. and i think himeno loves giving him that, even though it tugs at her chest in uncomfortable ways she can't quite point out.
i feel compelled to but i won't go into the whole being in love with aki situation, because first of all its not even a headcanon but very much there and secondly i will ramble indefinitely about how i think her pining for him would manifest and this is already a huge post god bless
on a slightly different note before i bring this to a close, i like thinking about her bond with kishibe a lot as well. it's not shown enough in the anime or manga, but i imagine them being friends. i think they would go out for drinks but more to talk than get wasted. i think they'd have the capacity to talk about very real things but also nothing at all. kishibe might be the only person himeno talks to properly about aki, aside from her letters to her sister, because he shares the same life as her and inevitably has more space tl understand. maybe kishibe gets to talk a bit about quanxi too.
haha oh well :D that's all i have for now. if u read this far thank you and also im sorry lmao. hadn't sat down to microwave himeno like this in a hot minute i loved getting the opportunity to do it so thanks for the ask anon !! till next time ~

GIRL HOW MANY CHAPTERS ARE OUT CUZ WHEN DID CALLISTO PROPOSE TO PENELOPE?!?!? IM SO SURE THERES 124 ONLY
He proposed to her in the web novel, which is complete with 231 chapters! I'm so sorry if I spoilered you 😭
Here's what happened: Warning: Major spoilers ahead.
He first proposed to her at his birthday banquet, a week before Penelope's when they were dancing talking at a balcony after dancing together -- it was so romantic! Penelope doesn't know how to dance, so he got her to stand on his feet while he did all the moves -- but he told her it was only a political marriage since the emperor used to tell the late empress (Callisto's mother) that he loved her and Callisto didn't want to use that word, but Penelope turned him down, even though at that moment, when he proposed to her, she realized that she, too, had a crush on him. She turned him down because his affection score still hadn't reached 100% and she believed he would love Ivonne when she appeared later on and was still trying to get an ending with Eckles, who had reached 90-something, iirc, and after turning Callisto down, went back to the estate early and talked to Eckles to check up on his affection score.
Later, Callisto comes to her estate after Ivonne has returned (she returns earlier than she was supposed to) and visits Penelope when she's at the greenhouse and when she asks why he's here, he tells her "I'm here to see my one and only fiancé" and asks her to come with him to the palace at once and live with him instead of at the duchy after seeing that she lost a lot of weight since she didn't have the heart to eat a thing for days after Ivonne came back to the duchy and Callisto thought she was being mistreated. Penelope refuses this time as well after asking Callisto if he was requesting this because he loves her and he couldn't answer that question.
He finally tells her that he loves her when she ends up at another island after running away from her and he teleports to her once again and tells her to stay with him, and their convo's tear jerking to say the least, but then they have this entire make out session that lasts for a very. long. time. and omigosh I fangirled like never before and they finally end up together, although they have to go through a whole load of crap first, dealing with the clan of Laila and the second queen, a gigantic fire-breathing dragon, and Eckles yandere mode and all, but at the end Callisto reaches 100% and Penelope decides to stay with him -- her conversation with him before she decided to stay has me crying an ocean of tears at just the memory, too it was sooooo friggin' sadddddddddddddd.
Callisto becomes the emperor after this and him and Penelope get engaged while Penelope studies to become an archeological professor, which is her dream, and Callisto does his best achieving his dream of being the perfect emperor and lover at the same time, and five years after the main story, while they're still engaged, Penelope gives Callisto news of her being pregnant with his child, who is born after their marriage and is named Judith Regulus. She is born with wings, btw, and calls Callisto her servant, which is cuteeeeeeeee.
When Penelope tells Callisto she's pregnant, by the way, our babygirl starts blushing and crying 😭 I love him so much 😭

Film student anon back here. First of all, I'm loving all the different industries/students of said industries that ranboo's managed to upset, it's really funny to me. I always forget to add this but I'm a bit of a writer too. Sorta, I do fanfic so I never studied it formally but I'm very happy with my works! (But I'll always defer to the actually writers who pop in here cause fanfic is a very different ballgame)
Second of all, a *million* dollars, wtf
Ok so like, obviously a million is a lot, but it's both more and less than you think for media/film projects. And actually since it's an indie project, it's way more
There's different tiers of film budgets, starting at micro to big, I had a whole class on it (fun fact, pirates of the Carribean 3 was the most expensive movie ever produced it I remember correctly)
But a million dollars for an indie project is insane. And what's more insane is how poorly that million was used. He could've had access to so much good lighting, actually good costumes (full offense to ranboo those costumes were so incohesive), a good camera for those shots in the second stream
The Blair Witch Project, one of the most successful indie films ever, cost a mere 200k to produce (a lot for us but the film world gets very expensive very fast, renting a decent camera can easily set you back a few hundred a day, so multiply that by however many days you shoot and the camera alone can be thousands of dollars). And that was back in the 90's with a fraction of the tech we have now.
Wait sorry, I'm just reading the wiki article for the Blair Witch Project since I had to google the production cost and it gets better. Most of it was actually done by improv and one of the actors was chosen on the basis that he could use a camera. That's actually so cool. Sorry I got sidetracked there
Anyways ya, so that's a lot of money that ranboo had access too, and a lot more when you consider the average cost of most indie projects, and even with all that, he blew it
omg film student anon <3 thank you for the lovely information on budgets! im learning so much by running this blog lmao. very insightful as always

Hello hi longtime lurker first-time asker, I am very sorry that your inbox is being filled with people being not nice about the whole...everything going on right now :-/
I know essentially nothing about boats and sea related stuff and I am always in the mood to hear about someone else's special interests, so do you have a favourite interesting or positive (inasmuch as facts about shipwrecks can be positive) fact related to that topic?
I love that story about the people on the Carpathia (because it's kinda heartwarming and bittersweet in the middle of a tragedy) but that's literally all I know about any kind of big boats tbh (also as well I would love to know what got you interested if that's okay to ask??)
aw thank you anon <333
its probably a bit cliche but my favourite ocean liner ever is the ms stockholm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
unfortunately, there arent too many good quality photos of it back when it was first launched in 1948 since you know, it was 1948. but its this beautiful, sleek ocean liner. she was the smallest passenger liner on the north atlantic run in the 50s, and idk, i just love how she looks. theres a lot of ocean liners that looked gorgeous like the ss france or ss united states, but they were both still a bit too bulky for me. compared to the stockholm which was just perfectly balanced for her small size.
you might also notice the very angular bow (front bit) and she had that bit because she sailed near the arctic sea so she needed a strong bow that could break ice.
unfortunately, it also broke a ship. im not gonna get into all the details of the collision between stockholm and the ss andrea doria, but off the coast of nantucket in july 1956, the stockholm collided at an almost 90° with the andrea doria.
this happened due to three reasons: fog making it harder to see, the stockholm sailing in the wrong lane (ships have ocean lanes like cars have roads) and the andrea doria attempting a starboard-to-starboard passing to avoid the collision despite the accepted passing being port-to-port.
(imagine youre about to walk into someone. if you both take a step to your respective lefts, that would be port-to-port. its starboard-to-starboard if you went right. but say you went right and they went left, youd collide)
the collision caused the andrea doria to begin to list to port and eventually shed capsize. the list made half the lifeboats unusable, but the crew of the stockholm were already rowing over in their lifeboats.
and the cherry on top was the arrival of the ss île de france, who took on the bulk of remaining passengers and was labelled the hero ship.
out of the 1705 people aboard, 1655 people survived. a much higher survival rate to titanic.
like the titanic wreck, the wreck of the andrea doria is the gravesite for the 51 who didnt make it. their bodies were never recovered.
unfortunately, the wreck is a popular diving spot and looters have taken everthing worth anything from the wreck over time. and even more unfortunately, at least 22 divers have died on the wreck.
once again, these wrecks should be protected by law like the fitz is or like the uss johnston is.
also, the collision completely crushed stockholms bow:
Tumblr media
but away from the tragedy of the collision, the stockholm went on to have a very successful career. shes had 12 different owners and 12 different names:
stockholm
völkerfreundschaft
volker
fridtjof nansen
italia i
italia prima
valtur prima
caribe
athena
azores
and astoria
she was also sometimes labelled "the ship of death" due to the collision with andrea doria.
in 1989, 41 years after her launch, she was sold to star lauro lines and was converted into a cruise ship. and considering shes currently still up for sale today, she must have been a very reliable and very good cruise ship.
when she was known as athena, she was attacked by pirates in 2003. the crew prevented the pirates from boarding by firing high pressure wate Mr canons at them, but at one point twenty-nine pirate boats surrounded her. and then she was just fine and carried on with her voyage to australia m
in 2009, she got detained in france because the company had unpaid bills, and it just makes me cry laugh when they detain a whole ass ship. i just imagine some officer trying to handcuff a ship.
after the quick dip into the criminal world, she continued to sail until 2021 when she was bought by a company planning to convert her into a hotelship.
afaik, the plans were scrapped and shes back on the market, so if you somehow have the money to buy a boat, the stockholm/astoria is up for sale.
and it is fucking wild to remember that the ship that sank the andrea doria in 1956 is currently on the market and might be fixed up and ready to continue sailing.
the carpathia is a story that almost always makes me cry because its such a good example of the good that humans do. the carpathia sailed through an icefield at night at top speed, despite being much less safe than the titanic, to get there. its both heart-breaking and heart-warming.
i had a phase as a kid where i really liked big boats as well as whales and sharks, but im an afab trans guy and many family members did not think it appropriate for me.
i got back into during lockdown actually. im pretty sure i was lonely because me and my flatmate were trapped at least two hours away from our families and i hadnt seen my mom in so long. back in my first year of uni, i called her everyday.
and so there i am, feeling lonely and also being insomniac at like 3-4am maybe, and i dont know what made me think of it but suddenly i was thinking about the titanic and how lonely it must be down there all alone. im the poster kid for object empathy. and then i was just as lonely like i was reflecting that loneliness onto myself and i was near tears and just couldnt sleep.
so i gave up on sleep and realised i needed to distract myself to feel better so i just started looking up shipwrecks and ghost ships and all manner of these things. and then suddenly im watching every documentary i can find, every video on youtube and im reading someones very long essay explaining why the titanic olympic switch theory is wrong.
and here i am. it started as a hyperfixation and developed into a SpIn, and then when i could finally visit my mom and brother, i made them watch disasters at sea on the tv.
if you ever wanna learn about this sort of thing, disasters at sea is a good show to watch (its all on youtube) and oceanliner designs and big old boats on youtube are very good channels for beginners.
thank you for this ask anon <333 i really enjoyed infodumping about my favourite ship.

Sky's Rambles
(AKA: I'm sorry to whoever actually reads this because IDK if you'll be able to make sense of my ADHD and Autism brain clashing)
Can Lyney get a rerun already? I wanna get his weapon and C6 Lynette. Like, I'm TWO CONS OFF
That being said, the upcoming banners are 90% useless too me. I have c6 every 4 star and have both 5 stars. I might go for Kazuha's weapon but like, I don't use him enough to justify that. I don't use him at all really. I prefer Venti for CC bc he has tighter CC and longer stunlock. I think the most I use Kazuha is...my Lyney team. Tbh. I don't even think I use him much there either. I have a C6 Layla and she buffs normal and charged attacks + applies cryo and shields. I only use Kazuha if Layla is taken for another team (which is a lot...Layla is the only shielder I use really since I don't have Zhongli yet. He's the only archon I have yet to get bc I got Raiden while pulling for Cheveruse.
Tbh, I'm glad the upcoming banners are worthless to me bc I have a guarantee for Arleccino (thank you Itto for breaking my win streak. I'll 100% get you next time.)
Also, the starters are in the Chronicled Wish banner and its a higher chance of getting them bc its a smaller 4 star pool. But the thing is, I want Amber. I fucking love Amber and if they dont give her a skin soon I will riot. But like I'm only getting Lisa. I have a c4 Lisa now. I love Lisa. She's so fucking pretty and she's my second strongest starter (Kaeya...isn't built. Amber's my strongest and my only starter to hit 50k as of rn.) But like-
My starter luck is good in the worst way. I got c1 amber forever ago, bought c2 from the shop after Neuvie's banner, got c2 Lisa from singles i got FROM ASCENDING LISA and took way too long to get a c1 Kaeya.
Lynette is so pretty. Like, I have a nuzlock account and she's one of the characters on it and I'm just like
Tumblr media
Every time because she's so pretty.
I'm not one to do this much, but Arleccino's idle leaks marked her the first Genshin character to get a "mommy" out of me. Then as a meme to my gf cause she was the one showing me: "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. -deep as I can manage voice- Father."
We fucking died.
Probably gonna make a post about my teams I have set up one of these days.
If they run arleccino with a wanderer rerun im going to simultaneously die and ascend because Im a wanderer main, but i want arleccino, but that will also mean theres a chance to get that damned bell at r2 while pulling for arleccino's weapon.
I have, 100%, called wanderer's bell Titty Remembrance bc i couldn't remember how to spell Tuttulyas whatever and I gave up.
My favorite no resin things to do with friends:
Bootleg windtrace: hide and seek but we have to chase each other and its fucking terrifying half the time
Randomizer: i spin a boss wheel i spin a character wheel. Assign characters and try to beat the boss with said characters. Reroll if the boss is immune only if the character is catalyst. Cue confused and terrified screaming for bosses that you don't know the mechanics of. It's more fun when using someone's world who has all bosses open. (Thats the only reason I soloed lvl 90 Raiden with a lvl 40 Dori and a lvl 60 Candace.)
I'll add to this later with reposts.

dw you didnt sound dismissive at all!! sorry for the autism moment frankly i do not know how to be concise
to be totally clear im not a "holds comics/specific runs sacred" kind of person either 😭 i have fun with the young justice show (honestly . was the first thing i saw kon in, and how i immediately fell in love with his character) even if i question the way it handled him and megs characters + relationship (i will not spoiler<3)
i absolutely also gravitate towards characters with anger so when i first saw kon in yja i was enamoured with him and i 100% get loving him as a standalone because i did and still do 😭 yja kon is Why i like kon so much now
i was rly approaching ur tags like u weren't familiar with him so im sorry for that assumption off the bat </3 and i was more focusing on how the design was reflective of writing choices that Influenced the show. i will say that comics kon is also a hot head whos dealing with shit esp in his 90s run (sb94 + yj98) and he is just. in general a fun character to read when hes being a little cocky abt it. so i do recommend reading his early stuff if he interests u :] bc hes a fun little guy whos lives in the head no matter what his iteration is
i want to say sorry if it sounded dismissive of Your little guy also 😭 i slapped the bit abt the show kon on the end bc it felt related to the general writing direction hed been going thru in the 00s (which is to say, being spearheaded by a misogynistic homophobe) LOL but to be so honest i do Like him i just have. thoughts and feelings abt the show that i got before i even read anything kon was in. im honestly on season 4 of it rn <3 i wish u luck on your rewatch
<- im a "has fun with the dcamu and video games and other adaptions of the comics and finds worth in them" kind of person anyhow ^_^ i think the fun of dcs bazillion earths and stuff is that many things abt a character can be true at once and people can find what they like in certain iterations and play frankenstein. i like. genuinely wholeheartedly agree that the comic cynicism is soul crushing lmfao 😭
ps. the cadmus tag -> earring thing haunts me every day......... i simply get so attached to his writing and how you can read transness in it<3
erm. have a good daynight<3333 sorry for a second essay
nah i appreciate the info, i don’t think i’m ever gonna shed that newcomer feel i have as a dc fan no matter how deep i dive, so better safe than sorry! this is rly teaching me a lot abt the character anyhow, so net win regardless 👍
glad to hear his hot-headedness is a constant too, it’s odd bc i don’t rly resonate with angry characters personally, but i get SO defensive abt them when ppl act like anger isn’t a legitimate and sympathetic trauma response. i have a feeling that that’s gonna apply here too
another thing i’m getting a lot here is that Smth Fucked Up is gonna happen to conner and m’gann’s relationship, and i do Not remember that when i first watched it, so that’s uh. smth to look forward to haha
i hope to get a fuller picture of the guy some day, here’s to frankensteining comic characters 🥂

Okay, so I'm not sure what exactly you mean by loud, only because there are different types of loud. There's rock and metal, music with heavy bass that makes it loud, upbeat pop songs that are loud just because of what they are. So I'm stabbing in the dark a little. But you also said train tomorrow (today?), sooooo I'm just gonna send random stuff.
(seriously, don't tempt me with music. you will be sorry)
(also tumblr still won't let me add music, so it's youtube. sorry)

Aaaaaand I'm gonna stop there. But there are a few good 90s tracks on that list, since we were talking about it. Have fun!
AAAAAAA OKAY!
I imagine what I've got going on recently might be rock & metal, but idek how much I believe in genres so *shrug*
(also haven't even made it to the train yet. you didn't ask for my inane reviews but I'm procrastinating packing here.)
Home: omg yes. this is so dreamy and nostalgic. reminds me of road trips and sea winds and camp fires and laughing and running in fields- this is in the hiking playlist now
Insane: wait oops this one just,, happened while I was vrooming the room & I genuinely barely noticed it *facepalm*
Inside Out: truthfully I was too distracted by the singer's hunch in the music video IM SORRY. Also his voice is kinda, nasal? makes me think of, what's it called, the plosives in phonetics that don't get released, like it's just stuck. this probably makes no sense but eh
Losing My Religion: yea. I like this song a lot. that's it.
Tonight Tonight: ahahaha nooo the opening reminded me of gran's revolution era tunes by people's liberation orchestra or whatever. what's the fascination with strange nasal voices and why does it tickle something so specific in us. okay okay but okay I like the sound of this.
Save Your Story: FUCK YES. I'll confess I did pick up Citizen Soldier from you haha. I've listened to them almost as much as David Bowie & Queen this month. they're perfect. it's so self-indulgent. but I really love it.
Our Time: NICE. see we ARE life-affirming sometimes!!
Sick Cycle Carousel: this is a cycling to the lecture hall song ahahaha. I love it.
Black: I love the moody sound. then I kinda zoned out ;-; I kept listening for the way her voice curved around the start of a phrases & the breaths and forgot to listen to the words. then I went back and listened to the words and still didn't feel the punch to the gut so I guess that's that ://
Anyway, I'm going to be presumptuous and share a couple of self-indulgent screaming?

I’ve personally been really interested in stories that revolve more around mechanics and dynamics in the omegaverse, and wondered if you would want to write about that.
The idea is of O/O Darwin/Alexis. I love O/O, it’s such an interesting dynamic to explore!
The prompt:
With all the games they have been playing the last weeks, in all the different leagues, the players all feel the fatigue and stress it causes their body. This particular match Alexis is on the field and Darwin is a sub, so he’s on the bench for now.
The game drags on (you can pick any game you feel like, or make one up), lots of running up and down for the players. Eventually Alexis feels it all hit him, and he fully stops. A teammate or opponent sees this, and asks the omega if he’s good. Alexis doesn’t respond, just collapses after having played 90+ minutes every game for the last weeks.
Switch to Darwin, who sees his boyfriend collapse, and it’s like something takes over. I like the idea of more “animalistic” parts of people coming out in situations like these. Kind of like Darwin’s instincts take over, and before anyone can blink he has run across the field and dipped down by Alexis.
By the time anyone else reaches them, Darwin is too focused on protecting Alexis, and is refusing to let anyone, even the medics, close. He all but hisses, growls and even attempts to hit people if they get too close for his comfort. It would be great to see the inside of Darwin’s mind if possible, showing how his omega instincts to comfort and seek help is battling with his protective instincts. Maybe it’s all a bit overwhelming for him, and all he can think about is “do not let anyone close, must protect”.
Unable to really do anything, one of their teammates (like Virgil or Mo) ends up having to physically grab and remove Darwin. They are obviously worried about Alexis, but seeing Darwin act like this is frankly scary. The alpha that grabs Darwin somehow manages to ground him enough so that he’s no longer acting on pure instinct.
The medics get Alexis off the field and into a secluded room, and Darwin marches off after them, not sopping for a lone no matter what they say. Alexis wakes up (or woke up on the field, you can decide) and has to comfort a Darwin that is worried, freaking out and stressing about what just happened. He’s scared that his teammates will look at him different, so Alexis has to assure him that it’s going to be fine. Happy ending!
I doubt smut will fit here, but if you want to add some comfort sex at the end I’m not gonna stop you
