[katasstrophy]

I feel like I've seen every Bluelock boy paired with a very cute, very bubbly, and chill gf/reader before, but I haven't seen any of them paired with a cool and competent or even bossier type. Are there any guys you think of liking that type??? Or maybe just deserve that type to be kept in line lmao 🤣

nonnie!! 😳 NONNIE UR BRAIN I’M GIVING IT A THOUSAND KISSES UR SOOO RIGHT FOR THIS!!! i guess it doesn’t really show with the fics i’ve uploaded so far – which is a damn shame, i should fix that – but i am absolutely all for readers who are just… out there, ya know? they’re prickly, or easy to anger, or sardonic as all hell, or way too clever for their own good or yes yes, bossy<3 i eat that shit UP like it’s my last meal. this is not to say i don’t enjoy sweet, bubbly readers (bc i do!) but the type you describe just… scratches a certain itch iykwim 👁️👁️

i think one of my first posts ever about blue lock on this blog (cw. mid writing LMAO) was exactly about this. obviously most of the blue lock guys are only extreme egoists when they’re playing soccer, but i do think that aspect of their lives will ultimately start to bleed into their personality as they grow up/go pro. so having someone who’s just like “yeah that’s great and all but if you won’t make it to date night i’ll leave your sorry ass” is just. so sexy to them like?? they haven’t gotten their ego knocked down a peg in a while so i think they’d be drawn to a partner like that askdhxnbz idk if i’m explaining this very well but as far as i’m concerned all blue lock boys deserve an unhinged reader lol 😤

THAT BEING SAID!!! >:))) i have a top three list of blue lock men who i, personally, would love to put in their place and encourage anyone out there to do so as well LOL

1. MICHAEL KAISER — this cocky motherfucker ugh need i say more 🙄 the urge to censor his name was real strong but i persevered still cannot believe i’m (sadly) attracted to this horrible, horrible man. he’s sooo insufferable and just so obsessed with himself like he unironically refers to himself as the emperor when i tell you there’s nothing i want more than to make this man beg on his knees i mean it – what a pretty sight that would be hm? <3 all his past lovers probably treated him like he was god’s greatest gift to women (HE IS NOT) – and by now he’s not only used to it but comes to expect it – so when he meets you and you’re like “mm you’re kind of a prick leave me alone thenk yew✨✨” he’s just. so scandalized LMFAO suddenly he’s the one chasing after you and vying for a shred of your attention oooohh yes that’s exactly what he deserves how it should be

2. ITOSHI SAE — listen he might be my precious babygirl now but i used to hate this mans guts like no other and that little resentment still lives on in my heart in the form of wanting this man’s downfall to be a woman like don’t tell me that’s not the hottest thing you’ve ever heard. he’s just so single-mindedly focused on soccer – japan’s treasure and what not – and thinks he can get away with being an asshole because of it but you place down your foot and tell him to cut the bullshit or you’ll find someone who treats you better (AMEN SISTER) and suddenly he’s grappling with the reality that shit he might just fall apart without you yes girl make him suffer

3. OLIVER AIKU — i couldn’t not include the resident fuckboy here mmmm the possibilities for him are endless and each one more delicious than the last. he might not be as insufferable as the others but he still thinks extremely highly of himself, especially when it comes to his way with the ladies. typical “oh no i don’t do relationships” kinda guy who can show you a good time for a night before dipping in the morning – and you just don’t want that. so you reject his advances, say you’re not interested and move on, but for some reason, oliver can’t. literally physically wounds his pride when he crawls back for a second chance but you don’t budge, still wary of him due to his past behavior unless he can show you otherwise. and the way he scrambles to prove himself as trustworthy to you? god tier groveling from a man YUMM

#—ping! new message from (anon) #AKSHHDJD THIS GOT SO LONG AND RAMBLY AGAIN SORRY!! #but you have a fat juicy brain on you nonnie #idk if this is exactly what you wanted but these are the thoughts that jumped out so hope that’s okay!! <3 #blue lock x reader #—bllk.thoughts!

Jude Bellingham x Daniel Castilla Chart Reading

People have been talking about how Jude and Daniel look alike! I wanted to pull out their charts here are their similar placements :

Jude Bellingham D1 Chart : Ardra Sun, Mercury, Moon & Saturn

Daniel Castilla D1 Chart : Ardra Ascendant

The Ardra ascendant falls right on to Jude’s stellium and that is also in the 11H. Andd the 11H represents social media, community and etc and many people have been talking about their semi identical looks.

I also checked out their Synastry chart and Daniel’s moon (another indicator of physical appearance in Vedic astrology) was conjunct Jude’s MC. The only reason why people mention their similarities is because of Jude’s Taper Fade on both of the guys.

welp! that’s it’s for today, I wish I could type more but I have history and geography work to do lol! laterrr!

But When I Needed You Most You Disappeared

this is a part 2 to this post hope you enjoy!

Xiao couldn't remember when he was as happy as he is now, with Lumine by his side, his karmic debt began to not even matter much to him anymore. His days were full of peace, but of course nothing lasts forever.

Xiao was devastated upon hearing that his traveler was to depart for another nation, he understood he really did, and he wanted to be greedier tell her to stay by his side and never leave, but he knew that he couldn't do anything to restrain others decision especially the decisions of one he loves most.

Xiao could only watch as his beloved boarded the ship to Inazuma, heading onto a new adventure. He couldn't even head over to say goodbye as he was afraid that he'd hold onto them and never let them go and beg for the traveler to not leave. He didn't want to hold on because he knew if he did that the traveler would stay and he didn't want to be reason of hindering them of their purpose.

Xiao went back to Wangshuu Inn after bidding the traveler goodbye. He greeted Verr Goldet before proceeding into his own room that Verr Goldet so graciously gave him.

"You're back?"

"Yes, everything was alright"

"Did you say goodbye" a pause, "properly?"

Xiao didn't reply, how could he? After everything he's done does it even matter?

"Don't worry Xiao I'm sure the traveler will be able to handle themself, Paimon is going to take well care of them" Xiao tried to give a curt smile as a response to Lumine's encouraging words catching the way she passed onto you the title of the traveler after you decided to help her take a break and stay in Liyue while you continue her adventure

"I don't doubt it."

The worst part about writing long aus is that you can’t infodump about it (without having to explain everything first so they get the context) unless you’re willing to make someone read 150k words

#yes this is about mirrorverse (120k plus stuff not on ao3) #also about hsau (70k but 40k of that is double counted w mirrorverse) and superhero au (21k) to a lesser extent #I try not to beg for readers and usually don’t get any response when I self promote the long ones #so I keep trying to summarize more and more succinctly #keep having summaries of all the previous things #and write so that you can pick up most of the plot jumping into the present moment with just the bare minimum premise #which makes me feel better about it but also. still. #kvetch #(patience/mirrorverse 3 is on the top page of murderbot fics by wordcount and has single digit numbers of kudos and comments) #(compared to the next lowest having double digits for both and all the others having at least one triple digit metric) #(I try really hard to not care but when I want to infodump it’s really hard to find someone who doesn’t need me to explain the context firs #and that makes me sad cause I want to just launch into the problem I’m having w/o explaining it all and curbing my enthusiasm) #please do not tell me “you can infodump without explaining” I don’t want to hear it

Impossibility (Alucard x Fem Reader)

Notes: not for minors; hints of possessive Alucard; fem reader; this happens not long after Sir Integra has passed

POV: Your aged parents have just died and you are back in your childhood home to take care of their remaining possessions. Feeling unsettled, you decide to go for a walk.

Night had fallen, and you knew you would not be able to sleep in this place, knowing your parents would never be there again. So you walked. You walked toward the stone ruins of an old church and village center that had been abandoned well before the Great War. 

In life, your parents had barred you from wandering these ruins or approaching the Hellsing Manor just beyond. And you had obeyed. But now—now, you were a disobedient daughter, a blasphemous daughter. Your parents were barely in their graves, and here you were, wandering amid crumbling walls and remnants of lanes, and pillars that now stood alone.

Sometimes, life actually does function as though it were a novel, with irony happening almost too neatly, at just the right moment. So it was this night, for, just as you were about to sit on a pile of stones and laugh at the fact that your parents had warned you against this harmless little place, gunshots rang out. 

You did not really want to run toward the gunshots, but you had medical training, and someone could be hurt. But, by the time you turned around the corner of the old church, it was silent. A stranger clad in crimson was the only man standing in a sea of--well, they sort of looked like humans, but the way their bodies had broken, the discharges coming out...it didn't look right.

The stranger had seen you because of course he had. You had not exactly done a good job of concealing yourself.

“Oh,” he said in a voice so deep it vibrated through your body, tickling something in you that you hadn’t known existed until that very moment. He began to walk toward you. “What is this? A sweet little bunny lost among these mangy dogs?” 

You felt as though the breath had been knocked out of you for a moment: the dark-haired man seemed impossible. Impossibly tall, impossibly lithe of limb, impossibly agile. But, he also appeared to be bleeding, though, strangely enough, his wounds appeared smaller with every step, which was just...couldn't be right. You shook your head, trying to come to your senses.

“I am [name], and I have some medical training. Please, let me help you.” 

You were about to reach out to him when he began to laugh. It too was low and made your insides coil. “Sweet. Very sweet, [name]. However, I assure you, I can suffer no lasting harm.” He was silent for a moment. “You should not be here. As you have seen, this place is haunted by low and dark things. These are ghouls. If you don’t believe me, look closer.” He picked up one of the grotesque things so you could see it better. It would have been nicer if he hadn’t.

“I—I will go, but are you sure you aren’t hurt too badly? I don’t want to—

You gasped. It took a lot to tear your eyes away from the stranger, but the approaching swarm coming up behind him was sufficient.

“Ah,” he said, chuckling again. “Playtime is not over for tonight.” Instead of dealing with the new threat right away, his eyebrows flashed above the rim of his peculiar glasses as though he had just had the most wonderful idea. 

“[Name], is it your desire that I kill these creatures?”

What did he expect you to say? You nodded yes.

He laughed again. “Say it. Tell me.”

“Kill them, please, they frighten me! I want you to kill them.” 

He took a deep, satisfied breath. “Perfect. You did that perfect. As you say, [name].” 

He turned and his guns began firing, kicking back like cannons. How his wrists did not shatter, you did not know. You also didn’t understand his fighting technique at all. He made no attempt to protect himself, so, of course, he took an awful wound right away. Damn him, he was going to get you both killed! You moved forward to try and see if you could aid him in some way. 

“No! Stay back!” he shouted, and he pushed you away, but with such impossible force that it sent you flying back into the partial wall of the old church. At any other time you might have stopped to ask yourself how the fuck he had done that and what was he, anyway, but you were surrounded by ghouls and something was now very wrong with your left leg. 

You were sure that he glanced back at you for a moment, and you were sure that he was distressed, but he did not abandon his mission. 

While neither minstrel nor troubadour had ever conceived of a knight such as this man before you, even he could not be everywhere at once. And thus you found yourself nearly face-to-face with one of the ghouls. You tried to move, but that was hopeless. Still, if you were about to go down, you weren’t going to do it quietly, so you picked up what appeared to be a shard of glass. You hoped it was somehow from one of the church’s old windows and that it retained some holy protective power. 

But, just as you were about to strike, one of his bullets did it for you. 

You looked up. He no longer wore his glasses, and your [color] eyes met his, which were pinkish-red. You closed your eyes and shook your head, but when you opened them again, they were still that same color. Oh dear, how badly were you hurt? 

He knelt down with courtly grace, gently clasping your hands in his own and resting them on your breasts. You felt a twinge of shame as you realized that tickling, twisting sensation was back, even as you were bathing in pain. 

“Please, [name], I beg you to forgive my monstrousness. I forget how my full strength affects you all.”

He lifted your hand up, continuing to stroke it, while his other grazed your cheek, which burned under the touch of his white leather gloves. Even in your diminished state, you clearly perceived the sorrow in his countenance. He mumbled, as though he was looking to and speaking not to you, but to someone unseen. “You humans are so delicate, so fragile—need to be cherished for the short time you are here.” 

He was quiet for a moment, and then he fixed his eyes on you again. He leaned over so that his lips were a hair’s breath from yours. His hair grazed your neck, and you could take in the delicacy and angularity of his face. Impossibly elegant. Impossibly handsome. 

He pulled back, just slightly, and drew your hand to his lips, barely brushing your knuckles with a kiss. 

“You tried to care for me,” he said, as though he couldn’t understand it. “You wanted to care for me.” He looked at you again, and then took a breath, as though he had resolved something to his satisfaction.

Sweeping you off the ground, he began to carry you away. “I will see that you are fully healed, and then—“ he paused for a moment. “Then, I will see you are properly protected.” 

As you drifted toward unconsciousness, you became dimly aware that he was taking you up the road to the forbidden, foreboding wall of the manor. As you fully surrendered your head, letting it loll on his impossibly broad shoulder, you would have sworn that his hair—or was it something else? how could it be something else?—had somehow taken on a life of its own, turned into tendrils, was wrapping you in protective, inescapable darkness…

But surely that is just your overwhelmed mind, said a voice in your head that, for some reason, didn’t sound like yours, isn’t it—darling?

how and why is there discourse about whether or not certain queer identities exist/if people should be allowed(???) to use them. why is "people know their own identity better than you ever could, and they're the only one who get a say on what they are" such a tough concept to grasp

i think if you find yourself offended by the label someone uses (especially if they're a stranger) or think it invalidates your own, it's a good idea to look inside yourself and question why that may be. more often than not, it's a result of insecurity or uncertainty of your own identity (or many other things, but i won't make a whole list here). whatever reason it is, until you resolve it, you shouldn't take it out on people for having an identity you don't understand

many have said it before but it's worth saying over and over. infighting only helps our oppressors. conservatives don't care if you're a cis gay or a xenogender aegosexual aplatonic lesbian, they hate all of us either way. trying to fit in by going for people who are easier targets for them isn't gonna help you, it'll just alienate you from your own community, and you're never gonna please them. the momentary rush you get from hearing you're not like "one of /those/ gay people" is not worth it and is gonna do more harm in the long run, i assure you

also, it is important to me to say this, but having some less than nice kneejerk reaction caused by confusion about an identity you don't understand doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything. as long as you aren't mean to that person, and you take a second to think smth along the lines of "wait a minute, this isn't any of my business" after having said reaction, you're good 👍 a lot of reflexive reactions we have to things are ingrained into us simply by. well. living in a society 🤡 and you're not terrible for having those thoughts. it's your actions that matter, and your second thought (the "wait, why did i just think that?") is more defining of your actual character and morals than your reflex. i know that having thoughts like this, even tho they're unwanted, can very easily make one spiral, so it's important to me that whoever needs to hear this knows this doesn't make you a bad person 🙏 you're good, keep taking actions to be good, accept other people even if you don't understand them, and you're on the right track :)

#i considered adding that last part in the tags but i figured it'll be too long for that 😭 #i noticed i'm posting a lot of rants lately. sorry. but i do wanna make sure no one's actually feeling bad over them #if i complain about something that you do or call it mean and such. that doesn't make you a bad person #you can always work to change and grow 👍 it's not easy but it starts with smaller steps than you'd expect #and now i just switched to a whole other topic from my original point. oops #i do firmly believe that any discourse about someone's identity is dumb as fuck #seeing it in poll blogs always makes me 😐😬 like how is it any business for any of us. why is this up for debate #if a person says they're queer then they are. they don't need to pass some test or go through initiation to be accepted #if they feel comfortable with a certain word that's awesome. why does it matter to *you* which word they use #'they're only using this microlabel to feel special' so? is there anything wrong with that? #'this label contradicts [insert other identity that falls under the same umbrella]' ok. but does that hurt anyone in any way #a lot of identities can even be self contradictory. does it matter tho? does it affect anyone in any way? #'they might realize that label is wrong later' again. what's the harm in that. #i don't blame anyone for these thoughts bc like. this is how cishets view a lot of the even more common labels #so you're basically taught to think this way from day one. that doesn't mean you need to stick to that thought process #you might have these reflexes forever no matter how hard you try. but you'll get quicker about moving on from them #but you do have to try. you do have to realize that other people's identities aren't about you #anyway. this post feels like batting at a hornets nest. really hope i don't get some bad faith readers here lol #(i noticed a lot of places one could apply bad faith but like it's 3:30 am i'm too tired to add this many disclaimer. #so i'm gonna trust you to not jump to conclusions and to approach this in good faith okay? mwah 🖤) #also my whole ramble abt morality (in the tags too) is relevant to. any topic really #i may just make a separate post about it really. .....tomorrow tho.

Listen everyone has their own metric for what good writing is and isn’t but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get me down a little to see one of my faves dragged through the mud by both haters and fans alike on a pretty much weekly basis

#yes this is about Salvatore #I don’t mean this to say you can’t dislike or hate his work because that’s valid too #I just mean that he’s become one of those writers where it’s okay and trendy to shit on him and he’s popular enough that it’s excused #I feel like there’s a lot of irl fans who crap on him because they inherently don’t like the over-the-top rule-of-cool style that is FR #and it’s okay to not be into that side of fantasy #but you aren’t the superior reader because you love GRRM-esque super serious grim dark content #also I haven’t personally met a long running series where I loved every single book or plot point #it’s pretty normal when you look at a 40 book series to find that some arcs/books are a bit better than others #and I feel like people jump on certain books and take it as ‘see? any talent he ever had has gone down the drain’ #like my dude it’s okay if you didn’t love a few of the books just skip and move on #add to that he’s a prolific writer in general and I’m sure some books got more time and effort from him than others #it’s fine and normal and not a sign that he’s the worse ever ffs #also there’s a part of me that doesn’t like comparing authors working in shared worlds to authors writing totally independently #because some plot points are set by the publisher before pen ever hits the paper #and again you don’t have to think Salvatore or anyone is a good writer #but I always factor it in when I see plots that seem to come out of nowhere and the like #anyways that’s my rant lmao #constructive criticism of any writer is fine and I’m not knocking that before anyone gets their knickers twisted

YOU DIDNT ASK so im sorry in advance (especially because i wont be explaining this well) But. ill be so honest i dont think the t-shirt kon is bad in a vacuum like it could be cute 😭 i do think its genuinely kinda fun when the characters wear their own little merch. the t-shirt outfit is even kind of funny because hes literally just wearing a t-shirt and jeans 😭 i love kon no matter what!!

but in the context of the transition from young justice (the comic) and the gang "graduating" into the teen titans (vol.3) i feel like it was a regression for him. idk i read into kon and transness+being lgbt too much so ive seen interpretations of it being his internalized homo/transphobia because its also a time where he has a secret identity for the first time in small-town america... and i do enjoy that, but it was Not intended by the writes (especially considering who was writing him in the mid-late 2000s)

kon's character to start off is really about identity and the reclamation of it when he was intended to be a Thing, and how he struggled under the weight of acting like he thinks he should/expectations placed on him (especially because he did not have an alternate identity or a name at first, he was just superboy. THEN kon el and conner kent) and how he expresses himself by replacing a tag cadmus put on him with a gold earring and generally dressing in a flashy and flamboyant and alternative way

so then when we transition to the teen titans kon, they sort of......strip him of that expression of personality. hes put in a t-shirt and jeans. they take away his earring. hes put in a relationship w/ cassie sandsmark (who btw. is very wlw coded to match him in the YJ comic, and both of their designs suffered what we call the cishetifcation) that is ultimately so bad for their characters (meanwhile kon is written into the most gay coded friendship w/ tim drake for like. a decade.)

and the young justice cartoon is an adaptation that was attempting to take the teen titans run from the 80s i believe? and young justice 98-2003, AND the 00's teen titans run. (decades of story to work with and way too many characters and groups, leads the cartoon to, in my opinion, suffer from a too many cooks situation)

and it does not handle kons character very well at all either </3 AND they used the t-shirt design while sticking him in a very unhealthy relationship w/ a character hes never really interacted w/ much in the comics. so umm. TL;DR very mixed feelings on t-shirt conner

i do recommend reading young justice though <3 (AND IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY DESIGN !! tysm <333 the curly hair is a must <3) sorry for the essay i just wanted to expand on why i put the t-shirt boy in the "sigh" categories 😭

ah, when i said i liked t-shirt conner, i didn’t mean the outfit, i was specifically referring to the young justice cartoon’s characterization ^^; i do acknowledge that it was a mixed bag that was forced to cherrypick years of history as an adaptation, and i get why conner fans don’t see him as Their Conner, but i’m gonna be so real with you. i liked him a lot in the cartoon 😭 as a standalone show, the first season does a rly good job of letting you understand his struggles and thought process, there were a lot of moments that endeared me to his angst while also letting him still feel like a kid. but i think i’m also biased towards characters that default to anger as a trauma response (completely unrelated to recent events believe it or not! wacky coincidence tho! foreshadowing even…?)

conner and m’gann’s relationship was def not the most interesting to me, but it’s also not the worst one. i have other biases against. other couples. but i’m curious to see how it develops bc unhealthy or not, i wanna see how it affects the characters, ykwim? like i’m not in it for the shipping, even if we All know there’s a better conner ship U__U

idk i just feel worn out by comics cynicism bc while i get it (i’m a hal fan, by god do i get it), i also don’t want to treat anything in dc too sacred. it’s more fun for me personally to view new iterations/adaptations as puzzles to work out rather than view them as character assassinations if even that. there are some truly unsalvageable things out there, but i generally think there’s smth good to gain in everything. and the young justice cartoon gave me a t-shirt conner to gain in my heart, so i can’t fault his character change too much as drastic as it is

all of this to say tho: the alt look is obviously superior. NOTHING beats a cropped jacket <3

#danswers #long post #dc #yja #conner kent #the cadmus tag > earring symbolism did make my jaw drop tho i didn’t know abt That #anyway i hope i’m not sounding dismissive of your passion! i think it’s very justified and i admire your dedication to the character #i mean if *i* met someone who only knew hal from the dcamu i’d sure as hell feel a certain way abt it #but even then… dcamu hal is the sole reason i got back into dc #and i still reference some of his characterization and ideosyncracies from those movies! #idk i think i just prefer to see comics wholly as a character map #where there’s a target at the center that you can build and identify the in-character-ness #so instead of holding any era of comics as the single truth to compare everything else to #it’s just one of many truths #if that makes sense #tbh this is smth ive been thinking abt a Lot (literally talked to f0r abt this last night) so i’m just using this as a jumping off point #i appreciate the context tho! even if i like the yj cartoon as a standalone it’s still important to know the environment it was made in #oh but also. it’s an old old show for me idr the later seasons #so no spoilers for my rewatch pls ^__^ #and obviously i’m coming from a non-conner reader pov so take this with a grain of salt
