#noise effect is a fave

[a-small-writer-in-a-big-world]

Could you do an imagine where F!reader is sitting watching tv with the 141 boys + konig and an advertisement for birth control comes on and they just looks at the reader horrified when it lists the side effects because those side effects sound like the scariest shit ever when they read them off. I can just imagine the horror on Konig’s fave and the concern from Ghost and it made me giggle.

Hope you like it @clonewarsnerd ❤️❤️

141, König and Graves reacting to a reader on BC

Price

He usually doesn’t pay attention to the tv when it’s on (unless football is on) and mainly uses it for white noise

He prefers to read a book or just to nap on the couch while it’s on than watching any of the boring shows on tv

You were sitting beside him dozing off on his shoulder as well

However his ears caught on to the commercial about brith control and the laundry list of side effects that were being rapidly said

He just looked really confused and then look at you with slight concern

He knew that birth control had side effects, he’s not stupid, but he didn’t realize it was that many

He’ll definitely ask you if suffer from any of the symptoms when you wake up

Ghost

TV is strictly a white noise for him he rarely ever finds anything interesting on especially if it’s cable

Both of you were just doing you own thing sim the living room not really talking and not paying attention to the tv

He was picking up around the living room and dusting when he started to dust the tv

That’s when he saw the birth control commercial and stopped to watch it as it started listing off the side effects

“Bloody hell…” he mumbled to himself feeling a little concern for you

All you did was let out a soft chuckle at his astonishment

Soap

He watches too much tv and usually gets annoyed by commercials so he tunes them out

He’s the type of guy who skips all advertisements if he can because he doesn’t want to wait to get back to whatever he was watching

He was scrolling through his phone as the commercials went on, you laying your head on his lap doing the same

That was until the birth control commercial started and it somehow piqued his interest

He listened to the side effects horrified and looked down at you a

“Jesus, really?”

“There’s a lot more they’re missing, I have the paper in the box if you want to see it.”

He spent a good while reading that paper

Gaz

He likes to listen to the TV while he does other things using it as kind of a podcast

He hangs onto all the words and usually makes comments about them to himself and to you if you’re room the room with him

He was cooking dinner, the tv up loud enough for him to hear from the kitchen as you sat on the counter to watch him

The commercial started and he didn’t think too much of it until the side effects started

“Fucking hell that’s all true?” He wondered

“For the most part.” You chuckled at his expression.

“Whew…maybe you should get off it.”

You just shrugged and laughed

König

His favorite pastime with you is to watch shows and movies

He rarely ever watches cable but when you’re both caught up on the shows it’s the only thing to put on

He pays attention most of the time especially when you’re talking about whatever’s showing on the tv

The commercial starts and he’s watching it intently, his eyes going wide as he hears the side effects

“No way…” he mumbles and you chuckle. “Is it that bad for you?”

You just shrug and tell him that it’s different for everybody

He shakes his head in shock and starts asking you how it feels for you

Graves

Like Soap he's kind of addicted to the TV but he actually doesn't really mind the commercials

It gives him enough time to go to the bathroom and get a snack for you both

You both are sitting on the couch when the birth control commercial comes on and he's just staring at the TV with knitted eyebrows

"Jesus that sounds awful." He commented and you nodded without looking up at your phone. "You alright, babe?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Hasn't killed me yet." You joke and he shakes his head with a smirk

He definitely makes sure that you're okay and sure a shit does what you tell him to now that he knows what the birth control does to your body

get on with it…

the secret to doing anything is believing you can do it

1 - realise your unmatched potential: - understand that your highest self is looking at your current self and cheering you right on. - there is nothing that you feasibly can't do. you know everything you want in this life, this knowledge is coming from your highest self. 2 - visualise this potential: - everything that you want to accomplish can be shown through a visionboard, through writing it down. - this potential can be visualised through different strategies - tumblr is one of my strategies 3 - plan and schedule time: - whether you work, whether you're a student (i do both) you always will have time to do at least 1 thing for your future, higher self. - there are routines that you can create for your low energy days, high energy days and mid energy days - i can also make a post on my personal routines. 4 - knowing you deserve to live your full potential - understanding that you have what it takes to live your best life is half the battle in becoming the best version of yourself. - you literally have all the power within you to thrive in all areas of your life, you just have to know it. 5 - identify the big tasks you’ve been avoiding - prioritise certain tasks over others, with time constraints and energy levels. 6 - break it down - break down the biggest tasks into bite sized chunks in order to tackle each of them effectively. 7 - silence the noise - take away any distractions that take away from your future goals 8 - figure out your ‘why’ - understand what is your purpose to do these tasks and what is your drive to continue with the implemented habits 9 - dive in - grab your fave drink, or if you're like me, your fave 3 drinks. And just GET ON WITH IT! 10 - celebrate small wins - whatever those small wins are to you, they matter. to me, just being able to get out of bed on low energy days is big enough for me to celebrate with my fave snack

Hello! I just found your page and got so excited to see an active page that does my fave characters I'm gonna cry 😢

Anyways, I wanted to request some gaara if you have time!! The ideal thing would be a nsfw w him, maybe some shy gaara with an excited reader and he gives in n realizes he likes it.

But please have total freedom, I'm starved for some gaara content and I trust you ❤️

First Time || Gaara x reader

A/n : Hello Peppermint ! 😍 Thank you for the trust I hope you'll like it ! And it's my pleasure to keep writting Naruto fics. These character just give so much possibilities 🔥

Warnings : Nsfw, penetrative sex, oral fem receiver, mention of cum, grinding, 18+ READERS ONLY and wrap it before you tap it

Masterlist ⚜

I don’t give permission to repost my work, if you want to share it just reblogue it

Words count : 1407

This was the day, he could feel it in the depths of his being. In every rush of blood his body pumped into his body. That was IT

The source of his current stress was something he'd worried about a lot since the beginning of your relationship and maybe even before

Sex with you blushes hard

He always blamed the cause of this stress on his bijû. He always told himself that being a kjinchûriki ( receiver ) kept him away from this idea for fear of hurting you in any way

In fact, he didn't know much about it, he was a virgin

One day you made a seggsy joke and he turned as red as his hair and stammered that in any case as long as the bijû was sealed within him he'd do nothing, you noted that his tone was a little harsh maybe because it was his reaction to fluster. He came back ashamed and apologized for the way he'd expressed it, in a rather professional way so as not to be even more embarrassed

Except that now he'd got rid of his bijû, so he didn't really have an excuse to say no ( yes he has, consent, but we won't go into that for the sake of the hc )

He realized that it was out of shyness and that if he wanted to do it, he would have used all his self-control over his bijû to control it during the act

But now he knew it was going to happen soon

You somehow ended up on his lap. How did it start ? A flurry of little pecks that turned into a heavy make out session

With each passing second, he felt hotter, bothered and… hard. And while he hoped you wouldn't feel it, afraid you'd take him for a pervert. You gently started to ground your hips against his

A low grunt rose from his throat and passed to your lips by the kiss

He couldn't breathe anymore. He didn't know if it was because of the kiss or because of the embarrassment

His hands grabbed your hips, hoping to make you slow down or stop moving, and of course you did

"What's the matter ? You don't want to go further ?" you asked, your lips red from the kiss

He shook his head in reply. It was hard to tell whether it was a yes or a no

"Gaara, please use your words" you said, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, sending shivers down his spine

It did feel good, yes but the sensation was so foreign to him. But on the other hand you looked so pretty and he really wanted to see you satisfied. Somehow he could sense that you were sexually frustrated and he didn't want it to last any more time

"I-I am willing to try. But don't be too observant, you know I'm inexperienced in this matter"

"Don't worry. Anything you give me will be good because it'll come from you" with that you stood up from him

"I'm going to relax you and you're going to see that you're going to feel much better", at your words you took his hand and pulled him towards your shared room

You asked him to sit on the edge of the bed as you lowered yourself onto your knees in front of him, making even redder with each new action you did

With a look you silently asked him if you could pull down his pants and he nodded not very sure about what was to come

The bulge in his boxers, however, at least proved that you had some effect on him. You palmed him thought his brief still winning more little noises out of him

You pulled down his shorts, leaving his arousal spring free. Gaara felt very small in front of your eyes, as they were literally drinking in what was in front of them aka him

"Let me know when you feel it coming"

"What are you gonnaaaaagh-" a groan cut him off as you took him in your mouth. You sucked gently on his cock, your tongue swirling over the tip, his moans encouraging you in your efforts

The pleasure he felt was then unknown to him. Which caused him to buck involuntarily into your mouth. Your gags were always followed by breathless apologies coming from him

When you felt him stiffen, you stopped and climbed onto the bed "That's your moment Gaara go on top"

You quickly wiggled out of your clothes and beckoned him to climb on top of you. Which he did, trembling a little. The sight of your naked body beneath his made him spiral back into his previous anguish

Realizing this, you decided to help him get over the step

"Calm down. Don't think with your head, think with this" you said, rolling your hips up to meet his "and you'll see, it'll all work itself out"

He swallowed hard and took a deep breath of your perfume and listened to you, concentrating only on what his arousal wanted. Gently he took his cock in hand and guided it to your entrance

After a glance to make sure you were okay with this he pushed slowly, carefully sinking into your wet pussy. You were so tight and he thought he was going to cum on the spot

Once completely in, he put his hands on either side of your head, his breath shallow. You kissed his forehead to bring him some comfort and when he felt at ease again he gently began to move in and out of you

Each thrust drew a grunt from him, but he was so focused on not cumming that he couldn't stop them from coming out. He didn't know, he hadn't realized, that it was going to feel this good. And listening to your moans, you seemed to like it too

With more confidence he gripped your hips before starting to fuck you harder. Your room filling with the sound of your two bodies colliding, proof of the passion with which Gaara was pounding youk

While he is railing you he is mentally slapping himself for being so reluctant about it because fuck that felt good. You were so wet and so tight it was just… perfect. Pure bliss

The more he moved, the closer he felt to his release. He hope it wasn't too soon in the average or for you - he was within the norm for a first time

"Gaara f-faster p-please" your words fueled him and he moved even faster than what he thought was his maximum. At this point he was taking you in a perfect mating press, his neck buried in his neck why his moans became louder, just like yours as you tighten even more around him

With a final push he got you quivering under him and then he felt it. He was on the brink of his own release and the scratches you made on his back kept him going until he withdrew to cum on your belly

"Ooh fuck ugh" he said breathless but then he saw the mess he did on you " Oh no Y/n I'm so so sorry here let me clean you- mmh "

Too late you had already jumped on his mouth to give him a long and languorous kiss

"Don't apologize for enjoying it. That's what it's for" you smiled widely at him still in the afterglow of your release "That was quite the ride. I'm happy you finally did something about it"

He smiled sheepishly, his shy attitude settling back now the excitation fell back "Yeah we could call it like that" he chuckled "B-but here let me clean you-"

"Gaara for fuck sake just stay there and enjoy okay. I'm going to take care of it later. I don't mind"

"Oh- oh ! Okay"

He lay back down beside you and gently, with a trembling hand, took your hand in his before letting out a sigh he didn't know he was holding

No doubt next time he'll be just as shy, but at least he knows what pleasure he'll get if he lets himself be won over by the desire to be intimately connected to you

And knowing you, he knew that he wouldn't have to wait that long

And it was for his greatest delight

slashers reacting to being their bpd gn s/o's fave person?

rat chat: i really like this prompt, because i have a lot of stuff goin’ on up in my noodle, and i also experience the fave person phenomena to a high extent. so i relate to you, and i like that.

Slashers reacting to being the gn!reader’s favourite person | sfw |

featured slashers: billy lenz, thomas hewitt, vincent sinclair

billy lenz :

billy wasn’t a stranger to obsessive tendencies. this man, at some point in his time of knowing you, watched you through holes in the ceiling and actively snuck out at night to stare at you sleeping. he knew what it was like to have someone you cherished more than anything in the world. it was a bit different, obviously, but he still related to what you were feeling.

there was a day when you had to sit down and explain it to him. it took him a bit to really chew on the words you were feeding him. he was your favourite? you wanted to always be around him? the things he did had that much impact on you? deep down, in the sicker parts of his psyche, he was elated. he wanted you to be reliant and obsessed with him, he wanted you to feel just like how he did. but, at the same time, your tone didn’t seem so chipper. he could tell it was something to tread carefully on, especially knowing that the things he did could effect you so deeply.

he was always at your disposal, so withdrawals weren’t much of a problem. the anxiety of him being away was always satiated within seconds, as he liked to stay close to you too. billy was always just a call away if you needed to be grounded and reassured he was there.

you would ask for praise from time to time, wanting to hear him say you were good and that he actually cared about you. this was a foreign concept to billy. how did you not know? he knew he didn’t say many coherent things, but even his disjointed ramblings were often worships to you. he always did what you asked tho. he’d praise you, and pepper your face in sloppy, wet kisses, and purr about how he’ll never leave you. in between his garbled noises, he’d mumble out compliments, and make sure you felt as happy as he did.

he was truly delighted to be so attached to you. the concept of bpd and having a “favourite person” might’ve been new and different, but at the end of the day, it only made him feel more comfortable with his own feelings. sometimes he felt like he was pathetic for being so clingy to you, and knowing that you, in some way or another, felt the same made him comforted.

there were some downsides. sometimes billy didn’t like being out and around people, and would coop himself up in the attic. he saw on those days how blue you’d get yourself, even without him doing anything. during those times, he’d draw you small pictures and write cat scratch notes, and slip them underneath doors as he glided through the house in complete silence. it was just reminders that he did love you, even when he needed his own space.

he just really cares about you. and is happy to know that he is so cared for as well.

thomas hewitt :

thomas has no real knowledge of mental illnesses. that’s not to say he hasn’t experienced it, he has his own issues, and his whole family is riddled with different disorders, but it’s never really been openly talked about.

that being said, when you went to him and explained it all, he picked up on the concept fairly quickly. sure, he didn’t understand all the bits and pieces being told to him, but he was really trying. he understood that you always wanted to be near him, and he could relate to that. it was something he had to get over himself, as he’d never really had a relationship like this before, and it made him over eager. he knew that his own mood could affect yours, whether he meant for it to or not. that was something he found easily maneuverable. he wasn’t the most enthusiastic guy, and you hadn’t minded before. he knew you needed lots of reassurance and praise, that you got anxious about him leaving easily. he was amazed you thought he’d be the one leaving you.

he fell into a routine quite quickly. he’d spend a little while longer in the morning cuddling you and squeezing you, his own way of saying he wanted to be with you. he kissed you lots whenever you two were alone, and always kept himself touching you somewhere. he liked making sure you knew he was there. he liked being present when he could.

tommy did have to leave during the days to go help his family with their exploits, and he always fretted over you before he left. he always lingered in his room, kissing over your face and reassuring you that he’d be back, that he’d miss you, that he couldn’t wait to be back. the second he’d get home, he’d pass right by his family (stopping at luda mae only because that was his mama) and go straight up to his room to see you again.

tommy liked bringing you trinkets and things. he liked giving you things that would remind you he’d be there. he didn’t want you to think he’d go anywhere. you were so special to him, and the idea of you being so reliant on him emotionally was new. but he liked it, somewhere inside of him. he liked knowing you were so vulnerable and open with him, and that you really were attached to him, and that he could provide you support he didn’t previously know you needed.

there were setbacks. tommy didn’t talk much, and so it was very hard for him to provide verbal reassurance. he remedied this by showing you lots of physical affection when you were both alone and away from the family. sometimes, when he was feeling particularly brave, he would utter a small “i love you”, and that always seemed to be enough to prove how much he cared about you. he didn’t talk to anyone, but you were different.

he just wanted to make you happy.

vincent sinclair :

vincent had a soft centre. on the outside, he was this large, brooding, empty eyed man, but on the inside he was filled with lavender and vanilla. he was always very understanding of your own habits and coping mechanisms, whether they made sense to him or not. as long as you sat him down and explained it to him, he made sure to be good and provide support where he could.

the idea of a favourite person resonated deep with vincent. wasn’t that how he felt about you…? whenever you were away from him, even in the other room he felt sick. he’d push his cheeks into your palms, and make you kiss him and promise him you’d never leave. it was something you both seemed to be working on. there was a mutual obsession, or a reliance on each other emotionally that you both had to navigate.

him relating made it easier for both of you, as it brought forth a conversation of what to do. the solution was simple. just do what you’ve been doing. you two spent as much time together as possible, vincent not liking when you strayed too far, scared his brother might devour you.

he didn’t talk much, but he when you were both alone and curled up, he’d speak in soft, raspy tones, whispering about how much he loved and cared about you. every time you left his workshop to go and prepare food or clean up a waxy mess spilled onto your front, you’d come back and be met with vincent fretting over you and making sure you were ok.

he didn’t show his emotions much, so it wasn’t hard for him to keep his worser feelings inside for your own good. he knew that sometimes when he let it slip that he was upset, he’d see you change, and slip into the same dreary feelings. he’d be quick to reassure you he was ok, and you’d do the same. alone, you two were almost sickeningly sweet with each other. out in the real world, outside of his studio, you two tried to stay neutral and appropriate. bo already teased vincent enough, you didn’t want to add more.

it was actually vincent that tended to have issues. he didn’t like the feeling of anxiety he got when he saw you sad. sometimes you’d be missing home, or upset that your art wasn’t going well, and he’d feel it shoot through his heart. he wanted to just take it all away and make it feel better. you always had to reassure him in those moments that there was nothing he could do, that sometimes you were just going to feel blue, and you’d let him rest his head in your lap while he calmed himself.

when you did have problems, it always came from his intense focus on his work. sometimes, without realizing it, he would ignore you for hours, and by the time he was pulled from his creative marathon, he’d see you dejected and alone in the corner. he’d always make sure to make it up to you, and have you sit on his lap while he praised you for being so good and patient. or, he’d simply have you come sit beside him while he worked, and he’d listen closely to you talk. he never really got tired of you filling the silence. either way, he’d always do something to make sure you knew you were his top priority. because you were.

over all, you two are a fairly good match.

tmn are all nd: a bunch o headcanons

(a sequel to these trans headcanons lol)

(also, warning before that this post is about neurodivergency and mental illness, so various mental illnesses will be mentioned. i dont want to single any out here, but you should probably skip this if thats something thats upsetting 2 you)

(also also, this is a infodump and not super in-depth or articulate, so sorry if i worded things wrong because i don’t mean to lol im just bad at reading things on screens so it might get jumbled. . )

beau: she’s got adhd and will hyperfocus and work All night on her theories and notes. perhaps she has audhd, has low-ish empathy and doesnt know how to regulate volume or realise her tone is usually annoyed sounding ksjnjkfs :''') also she has depression n that combined with adhd made her especially impulsive and self destructive, but she’s working on it, getting better :’) also had problems with substance abuse but the cobalt soul (dairon specifically) helped her get out of that. has cptsd because of her upbringing and abuse from her dad 

fjord: he’s got adhd too, babey!!!! also he’s got tourettes and his most common tics are: clearing his throat, a small head tilt, raising his eyebrows and grinding his teeth. he's a bit (a lot) impulsive and him and beau cant be trusted alone together they will get distracted and into trouble

yasha: she's autistic!! mostly effected by th social aspect of it.. like, talking to people is hard and she doesn’t get jokes or sayings and its all just tiring. also has p bad social anxiety. also memory loss from trauma as per canon.. struggles with when she does start to remember things but luckily has a support system so she doesnt just run off on her own like before :')  she also tends to disappear off like that due to sensory overload and just being overwhelmed in general bc of autism

caleb: i mean, he’s autistic n its basically canon. he experiences psychosis and has ptsd n depression/anxiety that has come from his trauma. he already had OCD before trauma and his obsessions revolve around hurting others A Lot, especially with fire after his trauma.. he also has dermatillomania due to ocd and anxiety. also has some sort of disordered eating in a self-punishment way.. .

veth: she has autistic-girlie-who-was-diagnosed-as-an-adult swag .. . and then the substance addiction that often comes with that i guess :''') .. also think she has body dysmorphia of course, especially during her being Nott, and some lingering things after too.. she just struggles to perceive her body for a while.. yeza rly helps ground her back to herself tho so thats nice :' ) . also she ptsd from her own murder + drowning , as per canon

molly: has npd and also he has a traumatic brain injury caused by all the things going on in his brain when his souls leave and he dies and things.. so struggles sometimes to find the right words and with memory and with mood regulation. also experiences psychosis and just, in general, strange things going on in his brain.. . also he likes sounds and textures all the time but will sacrifice th sounds for hanging out with yasha because its 110% worth it to sit with her instead ;w; they sign to eachother sometimes and have a made up sort of language

jester: she's got adhd and it means she loves having 10 conversations at once and spinning around and telling you all about her fave romance novel at lightning speed. she stims like all the time with little objects and ribbons and bells. also accidentaly yells a lot sknfsk and same as molly, likes noise n things all the time, gets kinda anxious or sad without it.. ;-; oh jester,, filling up space with noise so she doesnt have to be in the quiet..im not sure if i have any more thoughts about her rn :o

caduceus: he’s autistic (so overwhelmed by noises and too much all the time, also his empathy is fluctuating and he's not sure how to perceive it.. its confusing, he can be very empathetic and then, sometimes he's just in focus-mode and totally doesnt get at all what the vibes th other person is putting out is).. he’s got (inattentive) adhd. also depersonalisation derealisation disorder. and experiences psychosis since it was triggered by being alone in the grove so long + consuming hallucinogens a lot. he tends to just deal with it and not to tell tmn though, even though most of the time there's some little whispery noise or a fuzzy shape around, he's not scared mostly, only when he's triggered by something... also bad anxiety sometimes that he doesnt know how to deal with so he usually casts calm emotions on himself to help, or the herbs he chews (or smokes) for his joint pain help it. and also, his eating is Disorded but doesn’t quite realise (denial, ignoring it perhaps) the eating habits he has aren’t healthy,... he's just. kinda messed up still from all that time alone.. he had his own odd sometimes nonsensical reasons behind ways he treated his body and some of them stuck. also omg this section is a mile long im sorry,  but also he has dyslexia and dyspraxia and dyscalculia . .. numbers and letters and walking without bumping into stuff is tricky. also thats why his fine motor skills for writing /drawing aren't so good like in canon :-3 

ok,. thee end. good night now u_u zz

#ALSO one more that i didnt include bc it was too long anyway and not my headcanon but i think abt it sometimes: cad quiet type bpd. #inchresting. . .. .. i. think perhaps. yes #long post #<- as an apology #kiddo say #kiddo nd headcanons #i think thats my tag for it.. #IM SORRY THIS IS SUCH A AUTISM POST. . . . .GOOD LORD #OK goodnight .

last season's anime: that elf show (1-6)

Belatedly watching Sousou no Frieren, the darling of the... previous anime season four months ago. So old news as far as most are concerned!

I have held off on watching this one because, well, videogamey elves-and-dwarves European fantasy is ehhhhhh! I can get into it if it's really well done and puts the focus somewhere interesting (c.f. Dungeon Meshi), or if its medievalism is a bit more historically grounded than your average videogame-inflected fantasy anime (actual European history is full of fascinating/fucked up shit which rarely makes it into fantasy). But Frieren didn't strike me as having that vibe.

Nevertheless I heard Madhouse were the ones that did it and somehow that was enough to finally tip me over into watching it. So lol. I was a baby or even an ovum when Madhouse were doing most of their best known work, and yet...

Anyway, it turns out, not only was it a Madhouse project, but none other than Yoshiaki Kawajiri actually boarded a good few of the episodes, although he's not the enshutsu [episode director/storyboarder] whose people are most excited about. The series director's last work was Bocchi the Rock after all! And this sure is another hit.

The first two things that jumped out at me in the first episodes were: the bgs are insanely good looking and the photography department is absolutely in love with a digital bokeh filter. I don't think I often see this specific kind of blur filter in anime (though I think you'll see it the works of some directors who like to emulate realistic photography like Yamada or Shinkai), and it was interesting the effect it had of eliding the lines and creating an effect kind of similar to posterisation.

Bokeh aside, the background painting and layouts in this anime are really incredibly good. When I occasionally watch fantasy anime - I have a friend who is quite into isekai and will occasionally show me one of her faves such as Ascendance of a Bookworm - one thing that often bothers me is the architecture, you have identical box-shaped houses with big windows, wide flat streets, it generally doesn't feel like a lived-in city. This is something that particularly bothers me about Attack on Titan.

By contrast, Frieren is routinely dropping scenes like this:

Split levels, varied colours and heights, accurate depiction of features like jettying, mixing up the verticals a bit. It's an impressive attention to detail and it does so much to sell the setting.

And the nature scenes are outstanding as well. Although I'm pretty sure they're painted digitally, it has the feeling of older physical media. The bg painters clearly understand the power of hinting at form with brush stroke shapes and a few flat colours - a technique similar to the bg paintings at Ghibli. There's rarely an obvious digital texture and they exercise restraint in overwhelming everything with glows and flares. The flat colours and paint-like textures are allowed to shine on their own. Plus everything has a subtle grain (pretty sure it's just good old Perlin noise), adding to the analogue feel.

But yeah, look at the subtle atmospheric perspective in the last one there! The layers of forest in the background are painted with less saturated colours, creating a powerful sense of layering and distance, without having to draw more trees than the immediate foreground. I could learn a lot from this painting alone when it comes to forest scenes.

While I'm going on about technical stuff, the animation also stands up. The first episode in particular has some real flexes with crowd scenes containing dozens of moving characters. The character animation is generally very restrained, but naturalistic. There is constantly a strong sense of space. The action animation later does less for me - it's not at all bad, but it's within the conventions of modern shounen adaptations - but it's generally speaking strong.

All that said, what about what it's actually, y'know, about?

Frieren wastes little time in establishing its premise. The title character is a nigh-immortal elf, who was part of the RPG party that defeated the demon lord just prior to the outset of the show. Frieren has a pretty flat affect in general - not to say she's emotionless, far from it, but rather the heavy lifting of what she's feeling has to be conveyed through cinematography and implication of her actions. Though that said, it does plenty to humanise (elfise?) her too - she is not a morning person, and there are moments where she will get visibly excited about small things. Mostly, Frieren is a character who really doesn't understand herself very well.

Comparisons to the prototypical emotionaless girl Rei Ayanami come to mind to me - especially the version of Rei we encounter in Eva 3.0+1.0. Both characters' affect is shaped by transience - for Rei, she's a short-lived clone, for Frieren, her perception of time is completely miscalibrated to all the people around her so she'll accidentally disappear for decades while they get old and die. And both characters' arcs involve learning about how to understand human connections.

As kvin has said in his impressively detailed article on the background to this show, this premise is used to tell a story about the passage of time. In the specific, it's about the grief of realising you did not spend enough time with someone after they've gone. Frieren is retracing the steps of the party after disappearing from their lives for nigh on 50 years, returning just in time to catch the human characters as they die of old age. The episodes are usually constructed around her memory of that adventure, paralelled by the connection she's forming in the present with her new apprentice. She's trying to do things that she never managed to do when they were alive, get in touch with her own feelings, etc. etc. Lots of mono no aware in the air.

So each episode tends to develop two stories in parallel. There will be the immediate impetus - Frieren and co. find something that needs dealing with and coincidentally links back in to the past - and also flashbacks which help flesh out the rest of Frieren's party and why the journey was such a big deal to her. The writing and editing generally does a very good job of knowing what to leave unstated, what can be implied by a cut and a closeup.

More than anything I think I'm reminded of Seirei no Moribito. Frieren herself reminds me a little of Balsa - they're quite different characters, but the way they relate to others and the general arc of being changed by their connections - and while the dynamic between her and Fern is a little less parental than Balsa and Chagum, the use of scenery and the general approach to setting up of episode plots feels quite similar.

Predictably, stories about grief touch a nerve! 'I didn't properly appreciate the time I had with her' is something I feel particularly with my friend Fall, who we lost nearly two years ago now. A story about figuring out just what someone meant to you after they are gone is resonant, shall we say.

The first and second episodes as a pair end up particularly affecting. I talked about the technical stuff above, but the editing is also really strong. A couple of moments that stood out to me: moment of ephiphany communicated with a sudden eye closeup, an L-cut to bells which you don't hear until there's been another cut to the actual funeral. Since I've been in the sakugabooru server I've been learning to pay a lot more attention to individual enshutsu, so the names to credit in this case are Saito himself for the first, and Tomoya Kitagawa for the second.

The third episode (Daiki Harashina) stumbles a bit in my view, not so much because of the direction but because the script brings in some less-interesting magic mechanics and fighting-a-demon elements. The fourth episode, the first directed by Kawajiri, falls back into the rhythm: the stakes are small but we feel the development of Frieren and Fern's dynamic.

The fifth (Kenichi Shimizu) and sixth (Toru Iwasawa) episodes are a two part story, introducing a new character Stark as a second young apprentice character - the sixth episode has a really exceptional action scene with its dragon fight, bringing in a lot of familiar action animator names, and moreover the preceding episode does the work to set it up so we're invested in the culmination of the character arc it represents! Also there's that one sitting down cut I heard about. I wasn't sure I'd be on board with Stark at first, but he's growing on me through his interactions.

By this point we're starting to have more present-day 'villagers have a monster problem' type setups, but they're still primarily instruments to advance characterisation: the conflict of Stark with cowardice and responsibility is paralelled by one of Frieren's former party members, Frieren and Fern get to face ghosts of people they've lost, etc.

The first few episodes jump forward in years at a time in between, and even within the episodes tend to elide huge periods of time with montages - very effective for driving the central theme of tiiiiime. That seems to be slowing down a little now, although we'll see.

I think if anything weakens it, it's that the demons and monsters feel undercooked as setting elements - and I'm a little worried by hearing that they become increasingly central elements as the show goes on. Of course, they're kinda mandated by the RPG setting, and being able to just say 'back when demons attacked the village' lets the show put its time into characterisation. But to take episode 3 for example - surely there is drama to be had in the idea of a senior underling who was frozen for nigh eighty years, unaware that his master had been overthrown? But nah, he just attacks immediately, and then it turns out that human magic science has advanced so much building out from his technique that he's not a big deal anymore (ratfic ass concept). Mostly demons and monsters exist as plot devices, opportunities for characters to prove themselves or experience an epiphany.

It's a shame because the show goes to such enormous lengths to flesh out everyone else's motivations. 'Why did character x do or feel y' is kind of the thrust of every episode (c.f. that kinda questionable stuff people say about JP storytelling being more about causality than conflict). Next time they supply us a demon character, I hope they're willing to give them a comparable treatment. 'Kind, peace-loving villagers vs ontologically evil baddies' is just such a boring dynamic, and with such love poured into everything else, it seems a shame.

Overall, I don't think Frieren is going to displace Tengoku Daimakyou as my fave of 2023, or stand alongside Dungeon Meshi as elves-and-dwarves fantasy goes, but it's definitely a memorable one. As an adaptation it's absurdly strong. Looking forward to watching the rest.

mirage 🎠

here go the first of my three vignettes for my fave horror protags of 2022, the haywoods + their adopted mentally unstable retail worker (angel).

first up is my fuckin cowboy... ❤

SFW | Word Count: 832 | OJ Haywood x GN Reader 🎼: x (OF COURSE I HAVE A NOPE PLAYLIST THIS MOVIE STILL STICKS TO MY BRAIN-)

You considered the fact that there were many people before you who spent too much time alone out in somewhere so arid and so silent and would start seeing things after awhile.

...Hearing things, though?

You stared at the sky for another long pause, hands still on the fence that kept your boyfriend's horses secured as you tried to catch that noise again. It wasn't an animal kind of screaming, one that mountain lions or even strange birds would be so close to calling. Nothing like an imitation.

It was a person, a person who was experiencing a deep sense of danger. How the hell it sounded as though it came spiraling from the sky, you weren't sure. That's what was making your slog around in your usual chores come to a halt in the first place to hear it again.

"[Y/N]." Speaking of your boyfriend, you heard the mellow hum from the other side of the pen, "[Guy/girl], you good?" When you didn't answer yet, raising a hand to quiet him as you kept listening, you then realized you were being silly.

Your eyes fell to your shoes, and you huffed, “J, you’d tell me if I was crazy, right?” From the other side of the fence, he mumbled, “Mm hm.”

You turned to him, and clarified, “OJ, really. I’m not the only one hearing shit, right?” His eyes cast over to you, chin settled on one arm as he merely let that question sit in the air. Your eyes slid from his, combing through your mind one last time before he finally replied, “No, [Y/N]. Sometimes I hear it, too. Sounds too much like us to be any animal.”

He then mosied over, minding the pacing horses to stand next to you from the other side of the gate. You slid across the hot surface that had been baking in the sun, settling your shoulder against the part of his arm that was now leaning over it. He was stock still as you looked at the sky with him and you murmured, “Is it the wind? We don’t get any animals this far out that can mimic like that, right?”

He hummed again, but then gently nodded with his head to the blemish almost straight ahead of the two of you in the plain horizon, fairly visible from where you two stood at the edge of the first corral by the house out at the Haywood Ranch. OJ commented, “Think it’s that rodeo show he puts on. All that alien shit, maybe it's some kind of special effect.”

You caught the circle of tall lightposts out in the dust, the two of you watching now in a stale silence. It wasn’t the usual peace that OJ and you would share, sometimes for hours on end (which drove his sister Emerald crazy whenever she found the time to visit the two of you), but more like a heavy rock settled in your stomach that came from knowing what that neighboring park represented.

The owner had been making deals even before OJ had taken over his family business with Em and it was still their father in charge. He knew he had the prices to not only push the Haywoods off this part of the land that they had lived on for so long, but also take their family's horses with it. You didn’t even know the guy’s name, but according to Em he had been a child star trying to chase after the glory, the money…whatever it was he had lost back then.

It still made you desolate at times to realize Otis had never gotten to be your father in law. A freak accident had happened only a few months ago, and you were only left with word of mouth from the paramedics who had tried to save him, and the consolation that you could muster as someone just as wordless as your boyfriend, especially in grief. You assured yourself that it was more because you and OJ were in no hurry to take your relationship to something more serious, even without his father here now.

OJ’s hand moved from the fence, sliding back to the top of it to go around your shoulder, still mute as he put his arm around the back of your neck. You slid even closer, gently knocking your head next to his, like it’d help you know what he was thinking.

“I’ll do whatever I can to keep you from selling those horses.” You sighed, “I don’t know how, but I want them to stay here with you. With Em, with the family.” You expected no answer, but he finally spoke just above that hum again.

“Hm-hm. You know I'm a firm believer in the real being real." He shook his head, making your own nudge slightly as you smiled to him, "It's not always recognized right away, but when time comes. I'm sure."

You hummed at that.

"I like that idea."

ʚ Fave x Fem Reader ɞ

Day 1: Praise

❥ CW: smut, male fave, reader has breasts and a vagina, p in v sex, nicknames (princess, baby, angel), creampie

"You're so pretty, you know that?"

You could only whine in response, cunt clenching around his fingers, squeezing him oh so tight. It was a wonder he could move them at all considering how you were giving him little to no room to work with. It was alright, though. He'd make as much room as he needed.

"My pretty baby. Missed you so much today. Wish I coulda brought you to work with me. Woulda had you sit on my lap as much as possible. Woulda stuffed you with my cock and made you stay there all day if I could."

"Babe… p-please…"

"Hm?" he hummed sweetly, pressing his forehead into yours and gazing at you lovingly. "What's the matter, angel? Too much?"

"Nng… need m-more…"

"Yeah?" he breathed, rubbing his nose against your cheek, tempted to bite into you like a freshly picked peach. "Need somethin else? Somethin bigger? Thicker? Harder?"

"Please don't tease me," you begged, hips bucking up into his hand. "Want your cock, babe. Please give it t' me." He shivered, his cock twitching against your thigh, aching for attention.

"Of course, baby. Lemme give you what you need."

He pulled his middle and ring finger out of you, sucking them clean with a lewd moan as he hunched over you. He took his dripping hand and grabbed a hold of his cock, stroking it a few times before bringing it to your cunt. He ran the head up and down your folds, sighing shakily at how warm you felt, eventually catching the tip on your entrance and nudging it inside.

"Oh shit," he hissed, biting down hard on his bottom lip to avoid letting out any embarrassing sounds. "Fuckin Christ, princess. Feel so fuckin good."

You whimpered beneath him, wiggling your hips closer, quietly begging for more. He took his time though, adamant on letting you adjust to his thick length.

"Please hurry," you mumbled impatiently, hooking your ankles behind his hips, urging him forward. He clicked his tongue disapprovingly, hands finding the backs of your knees and pushing your legs towards your chest, effectively folding you in half.

"Now, now, don't be like that. Be a good girl for me like you always are, yeah?" A small moan slipped past your lips, cunt clenching around him, making him inhale sharply. "Shit, you like that, princess? Ya like being my good girl?"

"Yeah," you mewled, attempting to buck into him, but his body kept you pinned to the bed.

"Yeah ya do." He nibbled the tip of your nose, chuckling when you whined unhappily. "You're always such a good girl for me, baby. A perfect angel with a perfect lil princess cunt on her. God, I wish I could pound this pretty pussy all day. Wanna leave you a mess."

He started speeding up with that, creating a steady rhythm as he thrust into you. You moaned gratefully, wrapping your arms around his shoulders, pulling him in closer. The two of you leaned in for a kiss instinctually, tongues prodding into each others' mouths, tasting one another. You could taste remnants of yourself on his teeth, moaning at the taste. You sucked on his tongue, pulling at it with your lips, making him groan. You released him a moment later, gazing up at his starry eyes.

"You got no clue what you do to me, huh?" You bit your lip, stifling your giggle, only turning him on more.

"I got an idea, but why don't you remind me?" He smirked, licking at his lip as he sat up, lifting your hips as he rose his own.

"Say less, baby."

The new angle was delicious, his cock ramming into your sweet spot with each powerful thrust. You could barely keep up, voice stuck in your throat as you tried to focus on breathing. Your breasts bounced harshly, hands scrambling on his arms, nails leaving small red trails behind.

"Babe, babe, oh my god, babe!" You could barely contain your weak moans and squeals, the noises you made breathy and fragile. You were so close just from him hitting that same spot inside you; you were about ready to burst.

"Shit, such a perfect little cunt. Love your pussy, baby. So fuckin warm and wet and tight, Jesus fuck—"

"Babe—c-can't, I-I-I'm—" He shushed you, wrapping his strong arm around your hips to keep you at the same angle, his now free hand moving to your cunt. His thumb rolled your clit, sending sparks of pleasure along your abdomen.

"I know, baby, I know. I'm close too—fuck. Let's cum together, yeah? Ya gonna let me cum in you? Gonna let me fill up that pretty pussy?"

"Yeeess," you almost sobbed, legs tensing around his hips, locking above his ass, keeping him close. "F-Fuck, oh my god! Babe, cum in me, cum in me!"

He cursed under his breath, picking up speed, thrusting shallowly into that same spot over and over, making you climb higher and higher until you tumbled over the edge drastically. Your orgasm was so intense that your body almost caved in on itself, cunt pulsing around his cock, urging him to cum as well. He only lasted a few more thrusts before he was groaning with you, hurriedly lowering you to the bed so he wouldn't drop you. He spilled inside you, warm spurts of cum filling you up as you rode out your high, hips twitching underneath him. 

The two of you enjoyed the sensitive aftershocks, your bodies relaxing as you came down from your climaxes. Your muscles sagged, limbs wrapping around one another, a pair of lips on your neck.

"You did so well, baby. Took it like a champ." You giggled, moaning softly when he gently sucked on your neck.

"Felt so good," you replied gratefully, pleased that you were able to cum so hard. Anything less and you would've been sexually frustrated the rest of the night.

"It did," he purred, nibbling your earlobe, smiling when you laughed.

"Stop! It tickles!"

"Sorry, baby. Can't help it. You're too irresistible."

I've been hard at work trying to get rid of those annoying sound effects that plague my isolated BGM tracks. And I think I finally nailed it down with "Night in the Trolley" version 3! This method doesn't work for every track I've done, but it worked pretty well with this one, which happens to be one of my faves. Below are versions 1 and 2 for comparison. It might be hard to notice a difference between this new version and version 2, but I was able to lessen (but not totally eliminate, unfortunately) the cricket and frog noises. Let me know what you think!

hello I want to let you know that my unown, Onyx*, likes to sing. they often make little chip tune noises to mimic my fave songs (bcuz those are the ones I play a lot). this often creates a domino effect where all my other Pokémon will join in, doing various things such as: growling, howling, clapping, thumping their tail, etc to join in. are they good at it? musically talented? not in the slightest. do I join in every damn time because surprise karaoke nights are fun as hell? totally.

*? variant

Yeah! That is honestly adorable, and you obviously have taken a lot of care of Onyx because a talkative Unown is often a good way to know they are happy!

Week Five (week before last) of Commute Radio!

Pretty podcast-heavy this time, because I started taking the train more and found that instrumental music doesn't work as well for me on the train. (It's easier to get completely distracted from the music if I'm a passenger, for some reason, and also the volume variation in classical music does not get along well with my headphones or train noises.)

Sibelius symphonies 1 and 2. As said above, a little hard to listen to on the train, but I think I liked them.

The Good List (listed on Spotify as A Drink With A Friend because they changed their name at some point). An episode about morning routines that I surprisingly didn't hate. (Morning routines are a hard sell for me. :P) Also another episode on Father Brown which... I don't think told me anything new, but was nice. Think I like this podcast.

Sacred and Profane Love. This episode was on Walt Whitman and... I think love of country? See, this is why I should make these posts in a more timely fashion. But what I remember of it was good!

My Writing Sucks. This continues to be entertaining and a fun time, as I listen to loving yet mocking commentary on the host's fourteen-year-old writing. Probably won't have anything new to say about it going forward - I'll just enjoy it. :P

Pints With Aquinas. This one was on the Sacraments! Good stuff. I'd relisten for sure if I wanted more on this topic.

Stravinsky's Firebird. Very dramatic... probably a bit too dramatic for my tastes, though not bad.

An album of assorted classical music by Wieniawski. Good! Didn't become an insta-fave, but I'd listen again.

Very Best of Stan Rogers album. Very good, and definitely furthered my education.

Stuff You Should Know: 6-minute episode on lame ducks. Still deciding whether to keep this one in rotation, just because I have an embarrassment of riches at this point.

Presidential: Jefferson episode. Good! This man had some deep-running issues, is the confirmation I got from this. Looking forward to moving beyond the First Three in the next ep, though!

Artifexian: This is always fun and entertaining to listen to - the hosts have a good presence and rapport - but I'm finding that there is definitely not a consistent focus on worldbuilding. Might start skipping around a bit in the episode list, to find the ones that look more worldbuilding-centered.

Art of Manliness: An episode on "Primal Living" that had the unintended effect of turning me from "moderately pro-paleo" to "you will pry my bread and staple carb crops from my COLD DEAD HANDS" for the length of time it took to listen to it. There is a balance in all things, guys. If you start talking like agriculture was a mistake I am very quickly tuning you out.

Being Human: This podcast is still in its introductory phases in the second episode, but I'm still invested in the subject matter so I'll be sticking around! Catholic psychiatry is an important thing.

Tchaikovsky Symphony 4: I didn't like this quite as much as Swan Lake but it was good.

From here:

one thing you're proud of yourself for?

fave song at the moment?

time for the corny answer: the fact that i am standing here today, wearing my name, my face, doing the things i do. i would have never thought i could accomplish half the things i did and im proud to be where i am now. im becoming someone i am proud of, and proud to be in my day-to-day life

0506 + 056 by deathpact has been looping in my headphones for a couple weeks now, the noises are very satisfying to me, it feels like the sound effects for a big dinosaur/monster sort of hybrid monster in a movie, it's neat

Hi, hello there! Sorry to bother but just wanted to say I love the way you draw the slugcats and I adore your Anthro AU. Saint's design is my fav. Scug is so pretty! Spears's design is also my fave! So fancy x3 But I'm a bit confused about one thing tho. In one of the pages, Spears mentioned not having a mouth to either or talk so...how is Spears able to talk with the group and that one Scav? Duid I miss something? =? Also since Arti's pups are alive here, why does Arti still seems to have a vendetta with them in this AU? 👀

EDIT UPDATE 17/02/23: I've now been informed that Spearmaster uses sl in the game, so I'm combining that with tail wind noises (which is now minimized).

---

Thanks! Glad you like it :]

Know that this is my au so there's a lot of personalized hcs and stuff that may or may not be canon:

Short answer: Spear talks via their tail holes ; Gourmand reunites her kids after she thought they were dead for good (but actually just underwent the cycle)

Very Long complex answer:

Spearmaster talks through their tail. Its a thing from the dating simulator in inv's campaign but its dubiously marked if canon (because you don't hear/see slugcats talk in the game itself anyway)

While most may consider this a weird thing the inv campaign just do, I personally accepted it.

They practiced manipulating the winds in the holes they bear to make it sound like someone is talking. It is so effective and mastered to the point that people forget that they don't actually have a mouth lol.

As for Artificer, its a bit intertwined with another AU explanation (thats a bit popular among fans): Gourmand finding Arti's lost kids and reuniting the family, who simply underwent the cycle and is just out there, separated from her. Of course, she had to deal with the stress and anguish of not knowing whether or not her children is still alive (hell, I don't think within the game she is aware of the cycle system but then another explanation for if she is aware and WHY they don't... appear, is because the pups were "too pure for this world"- which I may call bs, personally, but everyone thinks what they wants so...). (as a bonus, this is what lead to arti being friends with gourmand and eventually meeting survivor and monk because they share the same colony)

There are other alternatives for it- like they just didn't die but arti's got the vendetta anyway- probably because they had feuds or gang wars or a bad history (there's going to be one explanation soonish in the heist comics). (answers that don't need complex explanations lol)

Because at the same time, this AU has all the playable scugs meet each other in the same time, which doesn't happen in the game (ik jolly coop exists but thats not canon)

I see the anthro au as my personal outlet for creativity. It doesn't HAVE TO be consistent with in-game lore. Its just my personal dumb fun haha

I do understand the people finding issues with implementing things that aren't canon sometimes, but thats the fun of creating aus (i bring this up because ive seen a tumblr post about this earlier and it made me think for a bit if the anthro au is a bit "too weird" or "too fandom cliche" for rain world's context- but like i said earlier- this is my funzone. if people dont like what i got for it, then at the very least ignoring and respecting that it exists is fine. the internet will and will always have opinions, but the smartest people dont start the fire.)

Sorry for going on a tangent! Thanks for reading it all if you did though.

Hey so idk ur ocs so just go off about your fave.

I try not to have favourites, but... Maali my beloved.

Being the daughter of an alcoholic, Maali isn’t sure what to make of Dionysus. On one hand, he’s a god, with all the moral and empathy problems that usually entails; on the other hand, he’s actively involved in the lives of demigods (though Cabin Twelve is empty now that his only living child Pollux has left); back on the first hand, it literally took indentured servitude for him to do so. He invented and presides over the stuff that is a significant factor in her family’s pain and dysfunction. Plus, being misnamed really irks her. So she actively stays out of his way and tries not to think about him. 

However, it could be interesting to have a slow-burn friendship between them. One evening she’s hanging around the edge of the amphitheatre (as she often does, the noise of the densely packed campers and smell of the smoke as the fire flares with offerings can be quite the sensory overload up close) and hears Dionysus moaning about his inability to drink. Her resentment overflows and she explosively confronts him. She tells him that it’s drinking that’s a curse, not the lack of it, and asks if he’s guilty about ruining so many lives and if he ever would have paid attention to his or any god’s kids had he not been punished. He’s taken aback - of course, he doesn’t know who this kid is and can’t reply. She stares him down, challenging him. Then she storms off to a quiet cove she likes to spend alone time in. Meanwhile, Dionysus is thinking. He finds Maali, sits down beside her and answers her questions: yes, he regrets very much that he can’t control how people interact with alcohol… and no. Most gods are bastards, and he’s no exception. Maali eyes him, suspicious but surprised at his sincerity.

“At least you admit it,” she mutters. He turns out to be a good listener; he understands feeling angry and bitter and unappreciated, unreliable and emotionally draining fathers, distant mothers and bullying big brothers, and their sarcastic styles of wit derived from those feelings mesh well. So he eventually gets her to relax and open up about her home life to a degree, specifically Ross’s addiction and its effects on her. When the curfew harpies come after Maali, they find her under the protection of the resident god. 

That night breaks the ice. They still have plenty of fights and arguments, but they get increasingly petty and casual. Almost familial. There’s a quiet sense of understanding between them. Dionysus learns her name and to drop the subjects that are sensitive to her and Maali spends more time around him and sometimes even prefers his coarse bluntness to Chiron’s words of reassurance that can easily sound condescending. She bonds with the children of Bacchus when they visit Camp Half-Blood, whose mortal parents also tend to struggle with various addictions. At the end of her third summer she accidentally calls Dionysus “Mr Dad” and they both agree to never speak of it again. 

And if, that year, a purple-clad stranger directs Ross to a very effective local alcoholism recovery program after Maali gives him the ultimatum that if he doesn’t stop drinking and go to therapy she’ll move to camp permanently, on the one day Mr D happens to have off, that’s just coincidence. What kind of sentimentalist do you take him for?

Thanks for the ask! I love any invitation to talk about my OCs!
