While I do agree with that last ask that Ada's outfit is truly not appropriate as a spy, I kinda wanted to put in my own little input. For one thing I totally agree with the fact that her outfit is something I could very much see a woman dressing for herself choosing. Not that women don't choose to dress super skimpy, but Ada's outfit in RE 4 Remake is, in my opinion, a pretty popular Fall/Autumn outfit among feminine presenting people (I mean people even joke on Tiktok about how Autumn is stylish black boot season lol) Other than her stilettos, her outfit is not that out there, in terms of comfort even. It's a knit dress top. Those are some of the more comfortable dresses, even if it is body con. It might be tight, but it's not modeled so tightly that it's "weird" if you get what I mean, and it's knit, and it can have some stretch, and it's moveable. (I feel like I can say that as someone who has worn a very similar dress and had to walk for several blocks in the winter) Respectfully, I really disagree that her current outfit is "less appropriate than her original outfit." If you've ever worn a maxi dress, one can know how impractical the long length/can be unless you were to like, tie it to the side or whatever. Shorter dress can be out of the way of your legs. I feel like if you removed her stilettos and gave her more practical boots, it's really not that crazy of an outfit. Frankly, just because a woman dresses femininely, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Also honestly....? Just because someone has a cold personality doesn't mean they can't be stylish? Like....Wesker's new outfit is pretty stylish as well if we're going to be fully honest. As a female-presenting person, I don't think Ada's outfit has so much overt sex appeal. It's just something I've seen so often as an outfit for this season, and something I've seen other female presenting people reach for when it gets cold. Her boots are kind of doing all the legwork if you'll excuse the pun. I dunno! Maybe I'm just delulu, but yknow?

I also just wouldn't think it'd be Ada if her design didn't communicate some level of flair. RE 4, despite now having a more serious undertone compared to its original, I feel has always been the kind of silly and unrealistic game anyway compared to the others. I mean the Merchant throws a rave when you do well at target practice. You eat raw fish and eggs....? There were Ganados that wore Leon's jacket and Krauser's hat for some reason???? There's a request where you literally are just told to egg a portrait of Ramon Salazar. Ashley is secretly a scene/emo kid???? Me personally, I appreciate this design compared to the past of game design. Could it be better? Yeah, sure. But it's SOMETHING imo. I totally get that we want to go from point A to B, and that we shouldn't accept the bare minimum, but sometimes things also take baby steps. I've noticed the slow shift in other games as well. Mortal Kombat's female characters had people upset because they looked "too" practical and "not sexy enough." League of Legends has been slowly updating its designs (i.e. Janna and Nidalee in their recent Legends of Runeterra art) Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn is designed to look like a realistic person. I dunno!

One thing I will agree on is the game's camera with the ass shots. I can only really remember one (that scene where Ada sees Ashley being taken by one of Salazar' bug guard) but yeah, that was unnecessary. I don't think they did entirely bad by Ada in my opinion because there were several scenes where this male gazey shot did not happen.

Anyway sorry that this ask is super long. I had a lotta thoughts lol.

Respectfully, I really disagree that her current outfit is "less appropriate than her original outfit." If you've ever worn a maxi dress, one can know how impractical the long length/can be unless you were to like, tie it to the side or whatever.

yeah i think i struggle a lot with trying to understand how her original outfit is more appropriate than her remake one. it's COLD, there was no reason for her to be in that type of dress. and the long skirt of the dress is also impractical as hell. i agree that the changing of her boots to a more flatter boot would make her outfit fairly appropriate. we're also kind of assuming that her tights are fairly well fitting since she's not constantly pulling them up lol

but yeah i agree that i think her outfit isn't overtly sexual. it's provocative sure?? the heels are mostly the thing that makes it not practical.

i think that there's a bit of an interesting push for more realistic depictions of women, and the horizon zero dawn reaction was insane to me, but entirely not unexpected. in another case, people were mad that ada's heels were removed in dead by daylight lol. EVEN THOUGH her flats were more practical, people wanted her heels anyways

i feel as though the shots that they used were also not so terrible in terms of male gaze-y. we also got ✨⛓the chain scene ⛓✨ for leon which was literally on the tiktok fyp for just horny video game scene that like SO MANY MEN JUST DID NOT GET.

but the singular ass shot of ada i think was, sure a bit much. but it wasn't so much that i was like, WOW THAT'S SO SEXUALIZING HER, cause i was also like oMGGGADA ADA ADA ADA ADA ADA so maybe im no better than a man lmao

but yeah! i mostly agree with you ty!

I had to externalize these thoughts, so I wrote a bunch of words about why Egbert is a trans person. I don’t think there are any content notes, really, unless “TW: Liliana” is a thing, which it probably should be. This is a happy meta.

So:

Egbert's backstory is both extremely vague and very specific. Egbert used to be a male human child. When he was small, he left his family and began training to join the paladins of the Dragon D'or. At some point in this process, he went through something, and he emerged as a dragonborn. We actually don't have a super clear idea of whether dragonborn is a fantasy species in Geth, like elves etc, or whether it's always something you have to turn into.

So… I dunno what to tell you. That's a transition. Egbert was one thing that is considered to exist as a static category, and he physically became something considered to be a separate category. And not for nothing, but the other party members are all productive with other species. There's no half-dragonborns. You are or you aren't. Egbert wasn't. Now he is.

Egbert's body is positioned repeatedly as Other. It happens all the time, but it's easiest to see with the two people outside the party who try to get close to him. Merilwen's friend Adele, like the other elves, is a fantasy racist, and her interest in Egbert is 100% played as wanting to taste the exotic. It's unimportant that Egbert's kind of an idiot and maybe destroyed a lot of property. He's a body that she wants. It has this weird racist undertone that I really don’t like, but it echoes how (shitty) people desire trans people.

Liliana is. Whoo lord, what isn't Liliana. Her obsession with Egbert is very much physical. She thinks Egbert is the perfect specimen, and she hasn't really attempted to build Egberts to match his personality. Liliana sees Egbert as a body she can control, and as a body that is unique. She herself isn't human, but it goes beyond that; she won't give Dob the time of day, and Dob's not human either. It isn't just that Egbert is special. 

In the way that he is situated in the main narrative, Egbert is a unique creation. Egbert's body is weird; it spouts flame and is too hot and is generally inconvenient. Egbert is huge and unwieldy and awkward. He's dealt with the same way that trans people often are- out of place in their bodies, inelegant, problematic.

Here's why I need you to go with me on this characterization:

Egbert fuckin loves it.

Egbert loves being a dragonborn! Egbert's story isn't about pain or sadness. It isn't about being cut off from his family or from his human body; the great problem in Egbert's life is being cut off from the people who made him a dragonborn. Egbert is joyful! He's a complete doof who fucks things up all the time, but Egbert's happy. Haven't we been sad enough? Is it not wonderful to see this seven foot scaly himbo be delighted that he can breathe fire?

Choose joy. Choose Egbert. He'd choose you.

--

Caveats: No one is saying the team gets a bunch of brownie points for creating a trans character. I am of the old school and I root in dumpsters for chunks of characterization. Also I'm nonbinary, if that matters. I don't ID as trans or cis and I'd like to see you try and make me.

on being a mehemaanu at the chef mode badhige

i'm burning, not just because of the sun but also cos i'm ravenous - my brain has relinquished control to the neurons in my belly. i can only think in terms of rice, or beef, or fish, well, you get the gist. 'it doesn't take long,' says my friend alifulhu. 'take it easy.' 'easy for you to say, you just had a glass of fucking cold brew!' i bark. we're waiting for our food at the chef mode badhige, and it seems like they've taken a page on interior decor from kavarna's book. alifulhu is getting two dhathuru noodles, one for him and one for our friend hasanbe who'll be showing up in a bit. meanwhile, i'm getting a mehemaanu rice, which alifulhu highly recommends. 'they've basically gone and done what your mamma does, mixing up a good rihaakuru and valhoamas baiggandu,' he said on our way here. and my stomach went nuts at the thought. soon, my helembeli huiy drink is brought in an ornate glass and my god! i don't know what they've done with it but this stuff is DYNAMITE. 'it's even got a sliced chili. the kick is sweeeet.' i gush to alifulhu. then hasanbe enters. 'how's it going? where's the grub?' 'it's taking a while,' i tell him. 'some guys attacked a bunch of yoga people today,' says hasanbe settling into his chair. 'attacked?' 'yeah they stormed into a public session at the stadium. with flags!' 'who the hell are these guys?' i ask hasanbe. 'eh, just some extremists.' 'did anyone get hurt?' 'dunno, but they destroyed a yoga mat.' 'has the government called it an act of terror?' 'the real act of terror is when you do the downward dog,' remarks alifulhu. our mains arrive. and oh lord, this baiyggandu! rice, thelli faiy, lonumirus, thin slices of smoky tuna, and further down, a bisgandu. god alMIGHTY! 'alright, i'm not visiting my mamma anymore,' i say. 'told ya.' 'i haven't had anything remotely like this in a long while. how's your joospetty?' 'have a taste,' says alibe. and the joospetty is tied to a curlicued metal stand, much like a hanged man, and there's a paper straw sticking out of the bag. i suck on it. mmm, milky! plus a nice undertone of kashikeyo. 'i think it's got too much milk,' says alifulhu.

'i think it's got just the right amount,' i say. 'but then my mamma had to rub habaru on her nipples to get me to stop so...' 'chef mode is like the common man's alternative to maldive kitchen,' observes hasanbe. 'do beyfulhun eat rihaakuru?' i ask. 'no they don't care for the smell, i think,' replies hasanbe and slurps his noodles. 'maybe that's why it's not in anything at the maldive kitchen,' says alifulhu. 'chef mode is for people who qualify for social housing. look around.' and it's just your run-of-the-mill people here, a little rough, without saving graces except they make up the majority of the voting public. 'huh,' i say. 'i never thought of it like that. love maldive kitchen though.' 'who doesn't.' later, as we motor towards male on hasanbe's bike, i catch the sign of a shop. 'stop,' i tell hasanbe and i snap a photo. 'what is it?' asks hasanbe. 'it's just letters away from being a real pain in the ass,' i tell him and along the tar-ry road home we go.

Temptating Distractions | Arin x Male!Reader

Synopsis : You decide to mess with Arin while he is gaming, which gives you interesting results to say the least.

Type : Slight Teasing/(N)SFW¿?

Pairing : Arin x Male!Reader

A/N : This prompt was requested by the lovely @esynk ,, i hope y'all enjoy since I've never really written smut. :")

The afternoon was bright and calm with rays of sunlight dancing their way through the blinds of the windows. It was a beautiful day outside, You would note as you looked out the window while sipping your evening coffee. It seemed like the perfect Saturday morning. Just you dressed in your sweatpants and one of your boyfriend's shirts with a mug of nicely brewed coffee while looking out the window.

“Goddammit! Are you kidding me?!—”

Although a screaming boyfriend probably would've killed the nice Saturday vibe, it only made you look at Arin and smile from where you were. Again, another video game was stressing him out. It was always an entertaining thing to witness. Plus, to you, he looked adorable screaming at the poor TV like that.

You gently placed the half sipped cup of coffee down on the nearby counter and walked into the livingroom, where the stressed man had his eyes glued on the television. From where you were you could catch the emotion twisting Arin's face. His thick brows were scrunched together, his pair of milky brown eyes stared daggers into the screen as if he was heavily concentrating on something and his lips were curled in an annoyed line. Only you could find such a thing attractive.

Once you found a good time, you walked into the room and took your place on the couch. Arin was clearly still irritated by the game, which was clear by his tone and the way his facial features held annoyed undertones. “You're up already?” He'd ask, sounding surprised you were up at the ghastly hour of one pm.

You nod. “Yeah, I'm surprised too.” You had a habit of staying up late and getting up late during the weekends. Then again, who didn't? Plus the weeks always took a lot out of you so the weekends were your sleep cheat days. “What are you playing?”

Arin rolled his eyes, eyeing the game on screen. “Just some fucking Dark Souls, man.” A soft groan left his lips, which bought a chuckle out of you.

“And you're torturing yourself with that, why?” You ask and he shrugged.

“I dunno..” He honestly couldn't provide a good answer and restarted the game. “I just want to get at least get past the catacombs.” The controller was brought back into his hand and he got back into intense gaming mode.

Yikes, the catacombs. Yeahhh, that's gonna take some time. Might as well see how this plays out. You threw your arm over the couch and watched as a continuous spawning of skeletons kept hurdling at the player left and right. Steadily, Arin became more and more irritated once more. You noticed it as soon you saw his lips twitch and the eyebrows narrow.

You slightly purse your lips, thinking of what you could do to make him relax a little. In a quick moment, you brought your head into his lap which didn't really get a reaction. Arin shifted at the most, his full attention focused solely on finding the necromancer and killing it.

This was when you began to pout. Sure, you wanted him to relax but now, you also wanted his attention. Normally you weren't needy but sometimes, you wanted Arin to look at you and have all of his attention.

Your eyes lingered up to Arin, where you got an angle of the focused yet annoyed man. Suddenly, you brought your arms around your boyfriend's waist. The sudden warm touch brought Arin to glance down at you for a moment, only to return to the gameplay once more. In response, you puffed your cheeks.

You squeezed him a little, which barely brought a reaction out of him. Dammit. Time to up your game a little.

“Arinnnn,” You whined, face pressed gently into his stomach with your arms still locked around his waist. “Look at me.”

“In a second, (Y/N)-” His voice came out a quick motion, as he was still battling the necromancer. You wouldn't let it go though, as you only pouted more.

“Come on, Arrrr.” More pouts only came from him blatantly ignoring you. Tired from him being distracted, you sat up so you were now on his lap. Ass perked, you brought your arms around his neck which practically forced him to pause the game and look at you.

He appeared disgruntled, a slight annoyed look on his face as he peered up at you. “Yes, Mr. Needy?”

You puffed your cheeks in return to his little nickname, giving him your own annoyed look. “Well, maybe I won't tell you now-”

Arin let out an exaggerated groan, bringing his own arms around your waist. “Hey, no.” He said with a light laugh, “No, tell me. I'm all ears now, I swear.”

A slight smirk hit your lips and you moved in closer, a slightly surprised look graced Arin's features. “I want you.” Your words flowed smoothly and your voice delivered your desire well. Arin was left amiss, as you normally weren't as forward.

“What?” You ask innocently as your boyfriend was rendered speechless, his mouth slightly parted. Your eyes observed him, “Do you not want me, Arin?”

Your last mention seemed to bring him back, as he quickly responded. “—Of course I want you.” His eyes drifted elsewhere on your body and you could practically feel his gaze on you.

You leaned in closer, closing in some space between the two of you. “Really?” Your voice was close to a whisper now.

Arin's own voice fell soft and hushed. “I always do.” His eyes then trailed from your body back up to your own heat filled eyes all over again, eyes he could absolutely melt under any day.

The heat between the both of you grew thick and heavy. It hung loosely in the air around you, both glazing your cheeks with a red glow. You leaned in and finally closed that space with a kiss, bringing the heat into that one kiss. With a tilt of his head, Arin returned the kiss eagerly. His hold on your waist brought you in closer, as if he couldn't feel you enough.

The heat was addictive, no doubt. Every amount of heat you felt was being poured into this warm kiss and the both of you easily felt the passion meld on both ends. It wasn't too long until you felt Arin getting needy under you. His hips pressed against your lower half, which brought a deep inhale from you. His grip on your waist only grew more firm, as he was set on keeping you in place now that he had you.

The kiss broke once the both of you remembered you needed air to sustain yourselves. Both pairs of lips were graced by the outside air once again, soft pants passed both parted lips. Your chests rose and fell between the little space you had. It wasn't long until you felt the warm touch of the other man's hand slowly push past the fabric and under it, feeling the skin beneath his fingers. Clearly, he wanted to feel you. All of you.

Yet, you then stood with a smirk, leaving him in a confused heated state. “Oh, I forgot. I left my coffee in the kitchen. I should probably get it before it gets cold.” You said with a stretch, your shirt rose up with your arms to tease him with the skin he barely got to feel properly. That tease only furthered his burning want for you, his throat becoming dry at the mere sight of it.

That's when you would leave him to deal with his plight, feeling pretty accomplished with yourself. You took a sip of the obviously cold coffee as you thought of other ways to tease Arin.

This should be fun.

A Monster in the Dark - Chapter 4

[ self ship fanfic about Nightmare Bonnie and my insomniac s/i :) ]

[ Previous ] [ Next ]

Spade was the biggest of the four animatronics housed in the Diner.

He was a bat with striking grey eyes and one of the longer snouts. Like the other three, he wasn’t even close to anatomically correct. His wings were short and pointed, but attached to his arms for easier mobility. 

The outer metal that made up his exoskeleton was a shiny midnight black with purple undertones, and the insides of his ears were a dark shade of the grey that coloured his eyes. He wasn't sure when Scrap decided to change his eye colour from the brilliant red they used to be, but he didn’t mind. The only thing that bothered him is how similar they were to the teenager he remembered. 

He didn’t pay the eyes too much attention, instead popping open Spade’s chest to get to work. At this point, the animatronics only needed some slight tweaking, and one hundred percent insurance that their waterproofing would work.

Not that Cane himself would be testing that, Scrap assured him that all he needed to do was secure it as much as possible and leave the testing up to Azriel.

“Howdy!” Speak of the devil once again. Cane turned to greet Azriel with a small smile, the bright grin on the other’s face near blinding.

Azriel was Scrap’s twin, and you could tell they were identical. They had the same facial shape, same crystal blue eyes, and the same tanned skin. The main difference really was Azriel’s short, and bright white, hair. He wore it in an undercut that never seemed to grow out, and managed to keep his hair so perfectly dyed that his roots never showed.

He also smiled a lot more than his brother, the grin practically never dropping from his face. “Testing’s scheduled for today, so uh, just finish up here and head over to Sage.”

Cane gave the co-owner a short nod, turning back to Spade to finish the wiring he had been working on before the cheerful male had dropped in. “Alright,” he said after a few minutes, stepping back and brushing his hands off. He closed up the animatronic before turning back to Azriel.

“I knew it was a good idea to hire you,” Az told him, giving him a light clap on the shoulder before sending him off to Sage.

Sage was the exact opposite of Spade. The seven foot animatronic was a barn owl, and honestly one of the absolute best as far as looks went. Xir exoskeleton was just barely cream, leaning more toward an off-white. Xir wings were also on xir arms, like Spade’s, but more detailed. Sure the feathers were just engraved on, but they were still beautiful.

As far as Cane knew, both Sage and Spade were programmed to perform for adults, rather than children. According to Scrap, the Diner was supposed to be a place that catered to both age groups, so parents could drop their kids off in one half of the building and still be close by while getting some entertainment as well.

It meant that Spade and Sage ended up getting programmed with very different songs than Sequin and Salem, the two children’s performers. Cane had been meaning to ask Oliver, the programmer and adopted sibling of the Arrowoods, what songs they’d used, but they were rarely ever on site. 

Not that it really mattered, since Cane was there for the mechanical focus rather than the programming.

“I can’t wait to see all of you on stage,” he admitted to the owl with a sigh, sitting on the edge of the platform xey were standing on. “We’ve been working for months now and it’s not like they can put off opening forever.”

Obviously, the animatronic didn’t reply, but Cane thought he saw xir brown eyes turn towards him. After a moment of staring, he blamed it on the sleep deprivation.

“I dunno. Maybe I’m just getting impatient. I’ve never been good at the waiting game, and there’s really not much more I can do. Spade is as perfect as I can get him, and I know Sequin and Salem are ready for the stage.”

He looked up at his only company for the moment, a small smile gracing his lips. “I’m sure you’re ready too. You’re Scrap’s favourite, after all, and I know he never leaves a job half done. Hell, you’re probably the most perfect one here.”

Silence reigned for a moment after that, before Azriel’s voice broke the silence. “Talking to the animatronics now, are we?” he teased, chuckling at the side eye Cane gave him. “Yeah, yeah, I know I do it too. Anyway, your boy’s working perfectly. Not even a single spark.”

Cane let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding, a relieved smile making its way onto his face. “Was there ever any doubt?”

Azriel’s laugh was more of a bark this time, but it was still better than nothing. “No there was not. Now move along freeloader, there’s plenty more for you to do around the diner.” That was basically code for ‘Spade may be done, but it wouldn’t hurt to check’.

The rest of the day moved along quickly, mostly because Cane checked as much as he could one Spade and spent the rest of his shift cleaning up the mess the three usually left. Scrap would never admit to it, but he knew the man definitely appreciated it (it certainly showed with the “overtime” bonus he got).

“Come on, you’re still refusing to change your mind? It’s just a night shift.” Convincing Scrap that he should be given the nightguard job was still the challenge Cane remembered it to be, even when he offered to work the day and the night.

Scrap simply sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes. “Mr. Freeman, I know you have an odd sleep schedule but I am trying to promote the growth of a better one. And you know I need you at full energy when working on the animatronics.”

“The animatronics are done!” Cane countered, throwing his hands up in frustration. “There’s nothing left to be done! You’re acting like those things aren’t already perfect!”

“They aren’t,” Scrap replied, quirking an eyebrow at the implication that there wasn’t any more work to be done. “Canetheus, you aren’t getting the night shift. Please stop asking. You are a mechanic, and that is what you’ll stay.”

With that, Scrap turned away from him and got back to work. Cane stood there, shocked and annoyed at the same time, before letting out a huff and finally heading home. 

“Does he think I can’t handle it?? It’s just a damn night shift!” he ranted as he fed Cheesy her dinner, collapsing into one of the chairs at the kitchen island when he was done. “It’s not like it’s fucking dangerous. No one’s breaking into a fucking diner with a GUN. This is bullshit.”

Finally, he let out a sigh and gave up, resting his forehead on the cool surface of the island. At least he didn’t have to worry about falling asleep with the good hours he’d gotten the day before.

“Maybe he just doesn’t trust me,” he decided, hoping it would make himself feel better about it. It kinda worked, but he was still mostly pissed.

“Would you trust yourself?” The sound of a deep, and near demonic voice behind him made Cane sit up instantly, spinning around quickly to see who was in his home, only to find nothing.

He opened his mouth to say something about it being a hallucination, probably, only to catch sight of that damned bunny out of the corner of his eye. It was sitting on his couch now, flicking through the channels on the TV. 

It seemed to be waiting for him to look at it head on before speaking again, which took a minute but eventually happened. “Cause I wouldn’t. Is there anything good running these days?”

Cane stared at it wide eyed. There was silence for a moment until it opened it’s maw to speak again, only to be cut off by a scream.

The last thing Cane heard it say was “Rude,” before the world went dark.

What the fuck.

Love Serum

Pt 2/11

Post timeskip || No Spoilers || Sylvix (Sylvain/Felix) || literally it's all fluff no angst whatsoever probably, maybe, I dunno

--------

"Felix, are you okay?!"

The man in question groaned, propping himself up against his pillow, "Feeling like shit, but I'll live."

Sylvain's eyebrows remained furrowed, much to Felix's annoyance. He added hastily, "I wasn't stabbed or anything, Sylvain. Just drank something bad, happens to everyone."

"You were burning up."

Tense, awkward silence.

"Not anymore."

Sylvain didn't want to argue. It was pointless. Felix had always been stubborn, and as long as he were not in his grave, he would remain so.

A sigh. Sylvain sat at the edge of Felix's bed, his eyebrows creased once more. His friend scooted over just enough to make room for the two of them, with what could only be described as a strange expression.

"You know," Sylvain began, his tone dulled with seriousness (Felix did not like where this was going, so to say), "I can't live without you."

He continued on, ignorant to the sudden twitch of his companion's lips, "And I know what you're going to say, so let me clarify; I don't doubt your skills, but I'm not immune to worry y'know. Just--just please be careful next time."

He had expected a nod, a prideful reply, something. What he hadn't expected, was for Felix's expression to grow rigid, as if he were under some kind of trance. As soon as the look overcame his face, it disappeared.

"...Sorry, can you just leave?" Felix's words were ice cold, not apologetic as his 'sorry' implied, but there was some kind of...some kind of undertone that Sylvain didn't get. "I feel like..."

I feel like I love you more than usual today.

Felix's cheeks flushed as those thoughts flashed through his mind. He would never, ever say them. Never, he would swear it from the bottom of his heart. "I feel tired. Let me sleep."

"Fine, you are looking pretty sick...are you sure it's subsided? Your face looks even redder than when I had initially arrived here." Sylvain was no doubt concerned, yet there was slight amusement laced through his voice.

This obviously did not sit well with the "sickly" male before him.

"I'm fine, just tired." Felix insisted coldly, "If you have nothing better to do, you can go."

Although his eyes were shut closed, Felix could practically feel the smirk upon his friend's face. "What?"

"I'm not doing anything, Felix." Clearly, a lie. "It's just funny that you're telling me to go, but you keep holding onto my hand like that. Are you sure you don't want me to stay?"

"I'm not holding your hand."

That was what he wanted to say, but the undeniable fact was--Felix was indeed gripping onto Sylvain's hand as if his life had depended on it. Strange, how had he not noticed?

He felt himself involuntarily speaking, his words fast, breathless. If one were not to carefully listen, they may not have been able to hear those exact words.

"Well, maybe I want you to stay."

Wait what?

Felix instantly regretted his words. What was wrong with him today? Why was he speaking aloud his thoughts, what was he even doing?!

Before Sylvain could get another word in, Felix had tossed a pillow into the male's face (at an extremely tremendous force, Sylvain had to admit), a more than prominent blush upon his face.

"Wh--!"

"Don't say anything." Felix growled, "Get out!"

Now, Sylvain wasn't an expert healer or anything, but clearly Felix was healthy to some extent, considering the swordsman himself actually got out of bed to push him out of the room (really, why was he so desperate though?).

Sylvain sighed, rubbing the nape of his neck sheepishly. He glanced back, recalling the events of a moment ago. Felix was not the most upstanding of models, when it came to attitude, but even that was a first time for him.

Still, Sylvain had to admit--he did look kind of cute, if only for a moment. Kind of.

Okay..uhh..man i dont even know what pronouns to use for this character

Like the few posts in their tag call them nonbinary? But it seems thats just because of that one line saying "gender is stupid" which was literally in response to someone saying "stop dressing like a girl, youre a boy". And like every single artwork of this character everywhere forever shows her dressed incredibly feminine and like.. Calling herself a girl. And the series just treats it as "quirky gay man who's lol sooooo gay that he crossdresses all the time" and seriously everyone else seems to call her a man and she calls herslf a girl? Like this really doenst seem like a nonbinary character this seems like an old manga with a poor understanding of trans people that was using kind of offensive language to refer to a trans woman and like.. Now just looking back on it through a a modern lens we'd say it seems like how we talk about nonbinary people.

Cos i mean seriously man this is just a girl who always dresses as a girl and calls herself a girl and loves girly stuff and its just meant to be somehow 'comical' because she's uhh..well..clearly flat chested and the manga makes it clear she was "born a man". And seriously wtf is up with this "comical" slant to all of it?? Like im glad to see trans rep and i understand that its so flawed because its a really ahead of its time bit of representation that was made in a time when bigotry was a lot more overwhelming and LGBT equality had made less strides. But still it seems so weird that even if they think of this character as "a gay man who likes to crossdress" then they'd be portraying "him" as a joke when they'd had other positive gay characters before. And like its not even outright "eww trans women" or anythingits just like they draw her SO exaggerated when she shows her crush on Toya and then he's drawn all..comically disgusted? And everyone is all shocked? And it was really confusing for the first chapter before they had a character staye that she was DMAB cos seriousky it just looked like everyone being weird to this girl for no reason.

And then just.. THERE'S A REALLY WEIRD UNDERTONE HERE

Like i wondered why on earth Toya's crush on Yukito was played so understated and never allowed to be outright confirmed even though its clearly canon and they were able to show Syaoran having a crush on literally the same guy before.

But seriously its starting to become WEIRD in regards to that! Like Ruby Moon is telling Yukito "i'll steal him away if you dont want him" so hey yes confirmation that it IS fuckin canon and they JUST WONT SAY IT. and then they have this really weird dance around conversation where toya is all "ugh gasp you're a-" and like he's...uncomfortabke with her being "a man" (SHE'S NOT A MAN DAMMIT) and she's like "but yukito is also" [suspicious gap in dialogue] "and you" [suspicious gap in dialogue] "him". Its all fuckin weird how much theyre dancing around saying the word gay or even saying a man loves a man yet they SAID IT BEFORE FOR SYAORAN! And then the dancibg around LGBT terms was actually used kinda cleverly here cos it could also mean "yes i'm a clow card and yukito is also not human". And probably the writers could point to that as reasonable denial if anyone accused them of writing a trans woman, i guess...

And uhh.. Yeah.. I think i get why these two situations are considered "different" by the writers.there was just a whole fuckin chapter about Syaoran realizing that her REALLY loves sakura and he only mistook his feelings for a crush on another boy because something something sensing subconciously that yukito had magic in him. And now its presented as CHARACTER GROWTH that he gives up on yukito and goes and has a straight relationship instead. And at the same time in the same chapter Tomoyo also decides to give up on her crush on Sakura WITHOUT EVER EVEN TELLING HER OR TRYING TO SEE IF SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY because she just thinks sakura will be happier witj syaoran. And this is meant to be noble and again be character development. And then looking back we had that whole plot of tomoyo's mom having a crush on sakura's mom and it being played all comical?? And her accusing sakura's dad of being a cradle robber and horrid for LITERALLY FUCKING HIS UNDERAGE STUDENT AND SHE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL TO MARRY HIM was again played for 'comedy' and she 'learns her lessonc that he's really a good guy and everything is fine.

So..yeah. It seems like a bit of an undercurrent of "gay crushes are a thing for children that you grow out of". Cos seriously the way they play the "comedy" on these older characters is like.. Infantalizing them? Tomoyo's mom is meant to be seen as immature and overreacting. And sakura's mom of course 'grew up' and got a 'real relationship'...

Or like i dunno maybe this was all an accidental implication caused by writers who just didnt realize what itd look like when they make EVERY SINGLE QUEER CHARACTER LOSE THE LOVE TRIANGLE and also refuse to actually confirm the one singular potential actually happy, healthy and recipricated gay pairing.

Also calling a trans woman a man and making everyone act grossed out by her expressing interest in her and making it all so confusing that even actual LGBT people dont really know what to make of it...

And then like there's also some bit where they say "oh well clow card guardians dont actually have gender", by which they mean "biological sex" cos i mean clearly they have genders! And why would "having no biological sex" give them ALL THE BODIES OF MEN??? Like seriously why would "cannot reproduce" mean "male by default"? Why would one of these "genderless" creatures make fun of one of the others for choosing to be female if none of them were born aligned to either of the human reproductive categories in the first place? Like its not "ha why are you being female, we dont have genders" its "why are you NOT BEING A MAN, we dont have genders". That makes no sense!! Also double wtf cos like 90% of all the clow cards look feminine and even half of the ones who don't still use female pronouns and get listed as female in the profiles. Like yes, all of them are drawn flat chested or with barbie doll anatomy but that doesnt make them "men by default"! And nobody's ever mentioned this before, we havent had kero-chan being all "ugh this is the DEVIANT Windy card that PRETENDS to be a girl" or anything. Seriously i cant get over the fact that its her straight up sibling guardian who's the one who makes fun of her for wearing a girls uniform. You are a goddamn talking panther!! What do you care about human cissexism!!

I dunno man the whole thing's got me a bit grumpled.

Also they continue dojng the damn nasty "romance" between a 35 year old teacher and a ten year old girl IN A MANGA AIMED AT TEN YEAR OLD GIRLS, and its presented all wholesome and life goalsy with no criticism whatsoever. Its been getting even creepier and it fuckin STARTED with him giving her a wedding ring! Now theyre really drawing attention to how young she is cos she sews a makeshift teddy bear for him and gives it to him as a good luck charm thatll make their love last. Gahhhhhh
