*cough*

Mic Tap

A PSA to all König/Krueger writers:

Hello, I‘m Voov, and I‘m a native German.

And let me just clarify that I do not mean any of this in a offensive matter, and that none of these things are 'annoying' or 'bothersome' to me as a German, which I‘m sure other Germans would agree with me. This isn‘t something that‘s making it impossible for us to read blurbs/fics/etc., however I do know that some writers want to write in foreign languages as accurately and realistically as possible, so this is for those. And for everyone else who‘s just interested, of course

🤍🍪

1 - What I often read is "Exemplary Sentence I can‘t think of something right now but it‘s in English, ja?"

We don’t end our sentences with "[…], ja?". Sometimes, yes, fair, sometimes we do so, but it’s on the rarer side in my opinion. Majority of the time we use this at the end of our sentences:

"[…], nicht?" = "[…], no?" (please don��t use "[…], nein?" for this one)

or:

"[…], nh?" = honestly this one can be used for a lot of things, it can be used for "[…], no?", "[…], don‘t you think so?" or how the Brits use 'innit', like you‘re trying to prove a point.

(Translation for "[…], don‘t you think so?" = "[…], denkst du nicht auch so?")

I understand that when you type in a "[…], ja?" you‘re translating from the words' English equivalent which is "[…], yeah?", but again, it‘s more common to use "[…], nicht?" instead.

If you use a good mix of "[…], ja?", "[…], nicht?" and "[…], nh?" (and any other word you might want to add to the end of your sentence) instead of sticking to one throughout an entire fic, you‘ll make us Germans a bit happier.

🍙⌛️

2- If you‘re using longer sentences, and the sentences are directed at the Reader, you should clarify beforehand if the Reader is masc or fem. Why? Because a lot of words are gendered in German, so the way they’re conjugated tell us the Gender of the Person:

English: "My perfect Partner."

-> Gender neutral, the reader could be a Man, Woman, in between, on the outside, an Alien race, whatever

If you type this into google translate you get: "Mein perfekter Partner."

-> Masculine. It‘s an instant tell that the reader is a dude.

The female version would be: "Meine perfekte Partnerin."

-> Now we know instantly that this is feminine.

There is no gender neutral, German simply isn’t a language that works that way.

Can you write full sentences without using anything gendered, at all? Yes, absolutely, here‘s an example:

English: "Oh God I love you, I don‘t know what I would do without you. You‘re my everything, I‘ll do anything and everything for you."

German: "Oh Gott ich liebe dich, ich weiß nicht was ich ohne dich machen würde. Du bist mein ein und alles, ich würde alles für dich tun."

This is completely gender neutral because while typing I actively made sure to avoid using anything gendered. But I understand that this is a extremely difficult task to do so for those who don’t speak German, so if you can pull it off, you just earned my highest form of respect, but this isn’t something that us Germans expect of you as a Writer, this is just something I wanted to draw your attention to.

🐰🧳

My point is: If you do any of those two, we Germans aren’t crying about it. We won‘t stop reading the fic, we won‘t bitch about it or send you hate-mail.

We just notice it, correct the sentence in our mind, and some of us will type out the correct sentence as a comment.

I sadly don‘t have any websites that can help with the gendered words, and google translate sucks anyways, so I truly don‘t have any type of direction I could point you writers to, sorry :/

But I have said this before and I‘ll say it again, as many times as I have to: I am absolutely willing to help with the German parts, my dm‘s are always open, no I won’t think you’re annoying or abusing anything by asking me to check the German sentences you might‘ve used in your works, no I‘m not saying any of this out of courtesy, no I‘m not lying, no we don’t have to know each other, no you don’t have to deal with chit chat you can immediately hit me up with 'Hey how is this sentence?', yes I am being serious. In doubt, read this paragraph again and again.

can you do yandere adam ? :3

Yandere Adam Headcannons

Has an “entitled to you” attitude. Adam has a high opinion of himself, to put it mildly. Not only does he think he’s the greatest because he is the OG human, but he also feels like as the origin of all mankind he has the right to treat anyone however he wants. He doesn’t really feel like he needs to earn your affection because in his mind it is obvious that you should want to be with someone as fantastic as him.

He would have more respect for you if you were a tomboy or a badass, as he spends a lot of time with women who are exorcists. If you aren’t along those lines though, he may look at you as being more weak and pathetic, and therefore look at it as even more of an excuse to be domineering towards you.

Adam’s personality is naturally aggressive. He doesn’t like to play games or manipulate. His first course of action would probably be to actually whine and nag at you until you agree to spend time with him. If that doesn’t work, he may try to use his status to impress you. This aggression is also directed at rivals. I feel like in heaven, direct violence would not be allowed, but he would be more than happy to use some verbal berating.

Along with this, he’s also impatient. It would not take long for him to start using more bellow the belt methods of getting your attention. I feel like most of these would honestly be aimed at keeping other people from getting too close to you than actually at you yourself, unless you're being a real piece of work with him.

If he finally does get you in a relationship with him, he does expect to be the one in charge in the relationship. If he tells you to do something, he expects you to do it. I mean, he clearly knows more than you do and is just the most fricking awesome dude ever, why wouldn’t you do what he says?

Since he’s been there so long, Adam is quite familiar with the politics of heaven. If push comes to shove, he may threaten to whine to right people to get you kicked out of the heavenly realm if you don’t do as he says. This would be an extreme measure after you not only have rejected him numerous times but have also purposefully been nasty and humiliated him in your rejection.

It is I! ready to tackle stoles because he’s the easiest:) (in my opinion)

It’s established that stoles is.. lonely, especially growing up, he has influence and knows many people but he doesn’t have many friends, the only relationships he has is his sexual and somewhat romantic relationship with Blitzø and his love for his daughter, everyone else is an acquaintance.

So naturally he doesn’t want his daughter to have that life, and when he hears Octavia has a buddy he’s thrilled, and he somewhat likes the reader for it, he’s never met and might not get to meet them for awhile but based on what Octavia shared about the reader he’s pleased that they aren’t a bad influence.

Of course he allows Octavia to invite reader to their house, and the first time the reader arrives to hang out with Octavia, Stolas notices that the Imps dropping them off work for blitzø, this makes him trust the reader a little more, but also this causes Stolas to call Blitzø and talk (question) him about this mysterious human.

Now stolas isn’t full on interrogating Blitzø, even then Stolas notices how defensive Blitzø gets, but most importantly Blitzø swears he had nothing to do with this human entering hell. Of course after his conversation with Blitzø he gets curious about the reader’s situation and wants to investigate but he also values readers friendship with his daughter, and doesn’t want to scare them off.

Stolas likes the reader, they seem to greatly improve his daughters mood and is also extremely important to Blitzø, so this makes them someone important in his life, two people he cares for greatly loves them and so he wants the best for them, it also helps that the reader is a great guest (a skill they learned from Rosie and Alastor) as they’re well mannered and extremely respectful. Also sometimes Blitzø picks them up so that’s a bonus (he wants any excuse to see Blitzø)

As the reader shows up more to hang out with Octavia the more opportunity Stolas gets to talk to the reader. Usually the reader’s at the entrance waiting for Octavia and while they’re waiting Stolas might have a small conversation with them. Or another example during dinner (if the reader is staying at their house) stolas might converse with them. Also I picture Blitzø often calling stolas about the reader’s whereabouts and emotional and physical state as he isn’t there, and if Blitzø is ever drunk he’d likely go on personal tangents about how great the reader is to him and share things about the reader that might be private.

I think Stolas before meeting the reader fantasized having a family with Blitzø, but now that the reader is around, and is extremely important to the people he loves in his life, he starts to imagine the reader in the picture, and I think this is where he becomes obsessive.

He starts to think that the reader is tying his relationships together, he might think that the reader will be the person who helps Blitzø get with him. He starts to maybe misinterpret some of Blizø’s rare drunk rants in favor of the theory that the reader is somehow pushing the two together.

This delusion of the reader kinda builds up over time, I don’t ever expect it to just show up. But it’s also not like anyone notices he thinks this way, because the way he acts with the reader is pretty normal, there’s small chatter then Octavia shows up and drags the reader away.

Anyway that’s my interpretation I hope you like it :) and I’d also like to see you expand on anything/share your thoughts:):)

Have a lovely day/night :)

Yay, finally! I'm so happy you sent something in.

So I totally agree that Stolas doesn't want Octavia to have the same life that he had as a child, super lonely, neglectful parents. So when reader comes into her life he's super happy. He's definitely super overbearing and wants to know everything about her new friend. I don't think it comes from a place of protectiveness, but more from a place of just wanting to understand his daughter.

When reader finally comes over to hang out with Octavia, and he learns about their connection with the Imps, he's super intrigued and is constantly asking Blitzo how he knows you, which he never really answers. But this just makes Stolas even more interested in reader, both of his favorite people seem to like them so of course he does as well.

On the topic of Stolas learning about reader, I could totally see reader staying overnight with Octavia and eating dinner with them. Stolas is super excited and making sure everything is perfect for his daughter's dear friend, while Octavia is just super embarrassed. Reader doesn't even really mind because it's not often that an adult seems to care about them that much. While all this is happening Blitzo is just calling every 10 minutes to get an update on reader because he's super worried about them.

As time goes on, Stolas does start to have these fantasies of taking care of reader with Blitzo. I haven't talked about it much, but I think because Blitzo and Stolas are both parents of teenagers, they are kinda able to pick up on readers neglect and trauma in a way that Alastor and the other demons can't. So it could image Stolas wanting to give reader a better life, and it doesn't help that Blitzo seems to care about you just as much.

But liked you mentioned, most of Stolas's obsession is in his head. He might show some concern when you go out with Octavia or when you haven't shown up in a while, but he isn't ever overt with his feelings. However, he's constantly in delusions about reader and the life he could provide for them.

It makes him happy.

Ideal type - JJK man

notes: this is my opinion on what type of person would compliment the character’s personality the best. this is how i see it, if you don’t agree just ignor it :) also my account is dying and idk what to do

contains: gojo satoru, nanami kento, fushiguro toji, fushiguro megumi, sukuna ryomen, itadori yuji, sfw

• ──────────────── જ⁀➴

GOJO SATORU

gojo needs a strong partner, not just mentally but physically. he is the strongest, he can protect his partner but in the same time, he has other people to protect. so i think he need someone who is strong, almost as strong as him. also a sorcerer too, i don’t see him with someone who can’t see curses.

i don’t feel like appearance is important for him. of course, he need to be attracted to them, but i don’t see gojo picking red heads over blondes just because… you know? appearance is not important… maybe just the hight. i see him with someone over 170 cm (5’7) just because he is a giant :)

NANAMI KENTO

nanami would pick someone based by personality 100%. i don’t think he gives a sh*t about how his partener looks because for him all that matters is the soul. they need to be smart and kind, patient too. someone who listens to him when he is stressed and tries to help him with solutions. he needs someone who is confident and knows what they like and what not. i see him together with a calm person.

kento would not date a sorcerer. i think he would prefer someone who can’t see curses just because they want to procreat them. when he comes home he wants to forget about all the horrible world he just escaped.

SUKUNA RYOMEN

a curse? maybe. a sorcerer? yes and no. a human? absolutely not. sukuna is in need for someone who shares the same ideas as him and in the same time, power. sukuna’s partener needs to be at least as powerful as gojo to be respected by sukuna. appearance is something he looks at and if you are not the standard of beauty (that he likes) he would not even look in your direction.

they need to be cunning, calculated, clever and rational. they need to know what they can or can’t do and what they want. they need to obey him too, because he is “the king of curses” and needs to be respected.

FUSHIGURO TOJI

toji needs someone who is very patient. after his first wife, he needs time to open up to someone else. they need to be a mother figure for megumi and the responsible. someone confident who is not afraid to argue with toji when something is not right. appearance for toji is a hard question. it matters but doesn’t in the same time. you need to be pretty, but not the standard. i think he would look at someone because they are attractive but will date them only because of their personality.

i think he would not date a sorcerer, but maybe someone who knows about the curse world and just doesn’t give a fu*k.

FUSHIGURO MEGUMI

megumi needs someone calm in his life. someone who is willing to stay up all night just to play with his hair and talk about sweet nothings just because. he needs someone who is confident and straightforward. an unshakeable character.

appearance wise, he doesn’t care. all he needs it’s to be listened and loved. i think he would date someone older than him, just because i see him with someone more mature than girls his age. (not extremely older than him, maybe 1-2 years older)

ITADORI YUJI

he need someone cheerful and carefree. someone who can smile in all sorts of situations and make people happy. a social butterfly let’s say. his partener need to be kind and respectful. but in the same time, he need someone who can protect him. someone confident.

appearance is not important. of course if they are ta and have a big butt is a bonus, but i don’t think it matters that much. he would date someone based on their personality not appearance. ( the example here is ozawa. she was a little overweight and short, but he still liked her because of the traits she had. )

Optimus Primal Headcanons SFW & NSFW

A/n: I love him so much, I know the movie just recently came to theaters but we need more fics of him. Honestly this could be read as fem or gender neutral? I’m not sure which to put so I went with fem.

Warnings: NSFW under cut, minors DNI, typos, SPOILERS, please remember these are my own personal opinions ty,

Paring: Optimus Primal x fem! human! Reader

-SFW-

Primal is the biggest sweetheart. When he first met you alongside Noah and Elena and realizing you weren’t a threat. He actually felt bad for scaring you, which he does apologize for later. Asking for another chance to show you who he really is.

Making sure you are comfortable in the village, that you have food and warm blankets for the night. Obviously playing favorite towards you but he thinks you and the others can’t tell. Airazor calls him out

He stays near you as often as he can, when you sleep on the village he is resting only a few feet away from you. Primal can be very protective but he respects boundaries and doesn’t smother you.

Primal worries about you a lot, especially if you are alone. If you are with Cheetor, Rhinox or village members be worries less, but after everything he has loss.. can you blame him?

If you have any questions about him or the maximals, he has no problem educating you. He is glad you have an interest in him, because he has an interest in you. While he has been around humans for some time, there are things he hasn’t asked or doesn’t know about.

When he had to take Airazor’s life he was shattered, you were right beside him. Rubbing his arm with your small hand, trying to comfort him.. his green optics looking at you sadly but lovingly.

It may not show but having you there really helped him, he will frothed be grateful for your comfort.

While Primal isn’t scared of his own feelings, he is scared of your reaction to them. He is fully aware of the drastic differences between you two and is worried that you will not want to be with because of that.. which he also would understand but he would still be sad if you rejected him.

He would confess his feelings before the battle, just in case you or him won’t make it out alive. Especially since you and the other humans are sneaking right under Scourge’s feet.

“We have only known each other for a small amount of time but I have grown to care for you deeply… I love you very much Y/N.”

You don’t have to say much yet if you don’t want to, just promise him you’ll be okay. That’s all he wants.

During the battle all he thinks about is you, fighting for you, to stay alive for you. And once the battle is over, the key destroyed and you can finally be together again. He asks you to stay with him in Peru, promising to teach you how to speak to the locals at the village and promising to care for you.

When you agree to stay with him he is absolutely thrilled and relieved, gently holding you in his hands as he whispers thank yous and promises.

Get ready to be like Tarzan and Jane, because he will take you with him when he swings from the trees just gotta hold onto him. He would hate for you to fall, he still doesn’t go as fast or more dangerous places with you.

Primal teaches you how to speak the language of the village, so you can talk to them without the help of him or the other maximals. The village members adore you, gladly accepting you into their community.

-NSFW-

Of course Primal wants to be intimate with you, he is just worried that he will hurt you. He knows humans are soft and fragile and he is very much the opposite. So when you do anything he is very VERY gentle with you.

If you are uncomfortable with him being a gorilla he will maximize for you, he has no problem with changing or staying. Just wants you relaxed and comfortable with him.

There is no way your taking his spike, he is a big boy. You’ll have to resort to licking, kissing and using your whole body to please him, which gets him off just fine… seeing how small you are compared to his spike, turns him on so much.

Honestly your body is enough to make him overload, you are so stunning and he loves every inch of your body.

Face sitting? Face sitting. He LOVES your legs on either side of his face, his glossa between your legs. One hand behind your back to support you, while the other loosely holds onto one of your legs. Looking up to meet your eyes as you ride out your orgasm on his tongue drives him insane.

Primal is willing to try most kinks, unless it involves hurting you. He can’t bring himself to do it, you mean the world to him. He also won’t do threesomes or anything involving somebody else, he doesn’t want to share you at all.

The more often you two have sex, the more he becomes confident. His dominant side peaking through, commanding you to do certain things and even talking dirty.

His voice is so sexy, when he dirty talks makes it even better. He always speaks in a low, gruff voice.

When he moans it’s deep and rumbling, you can feel it throughout his and your body… He roared once during sex, it was the first time you drove him to overload and he was embarrassed how loud he got.

Has a love hate relationship with being teased, if you tease him he will tease back and is much more unfair.

Also firmly believes in safe words, something simple like the stop light system. Yellow, when things are getting a little to far and red when he needs to stop completely. As soon as you say red, hands off. Making sure you are okay.

The king of aftercare, takes you down to a nearby stream to clean you off. His large metal hands holding you get to to his chest, talking about how much he loves you. Once you both are clean, he finds a private spot for you to lay down and cuddle together.. holding you close to his face, as he inhaled your scent.

Ok first of all, let me address this. I wasn’t being disrespectful when I said “fucked up stories.” It was a theory.

Second of all, I don’t need your followers insulting me when I never insulted them.

Third of all, you’re still trying to justify that it’s okay to write about rape which is what I’m trying to point out, that’s not okay.

Fourth of all, Most of the people who are defending you are only doing it because they don’t realize how disgusting that is and could possibly fetishize these writings which is what I’m trying to say.

Fifthly, I don’t need you calling me an asshole when I never called you out of your name!! I’m trying to be respectful when you’re just insulting me with no valid respond.

Sixth, I don’t need your followers saying anything about me because of their opinion!! I’m not speaking to them I’m speaking to you.

Seventh, it was just a theory when I said you could be lying about being sexually assaulted, I’m not accusing you of it. But a lot of men and women fake such things so I did include that not to make you angry, but I pointed it out because it is very a common occurrence that happens.

Have a good day, and I don’t need anymore insults im asking for a response??

Maybe don't be an asshole and you won't get called one?

You made a public inbox submission so of course people can respond publicly. It's insane to think otherwise.

Espousing a theory that someone is faking sexual assault is abhorrent unless you have evidence that can prove it.

I just love that you are ignoring my response and pretending that I didn't give one. I gave you a very clear response. Anyone, regardless of whether or not they have been assaulted, can engage with reading or writing rape fantasy content. It doesn't hurt anyone! It doesnt cause people to become rapists or put themselves in a position to be rape. It isn't morally wrong. Get over it.

There was a larger and more recent study than the one in the article I linked to previously. It found, in regard to being forced into a sexual encounter:

61% of self-identified women had fantasized about this before, while 24% said they fantasized about it often.

54% of self-identified men had fantasized about this before, while 11.5% said they fantasized about it often.

68% of non-binary participants had fantasized about this before, while 31% said they fantasized about it often.

Persons with a history of sexual victimization were more likely to report forced sex fantasies. This finding was somewhat surprising to me because it is contradictory to previous research, which found no link between sexual history and forced sex fantasies. However, most studies finding no linkage were based on small college student samples, whereas my sample was larger and more diverse (age range of 18-87). Thus, sampling differences may partly explain the discrepancy. That said, it’s important to note that this association was small, which means that not everyone who has a history of sexual victimization has forced sex fantasies, and that not everyone with these fantasies has a history of victimization. That said, what I suspect is going on here is that forced sex fantasies may be a way that some people with a history of victimization try to take control of a previous experience over which they had no control because, in these fantasies, it is the fantasizer who is in control.

If you don't agree with the science then I guess I am sorry your feelings don't align with research.

Now I may be expressing a very unpopular opinion, but I do not consider Kamski an asshole, a creep, a rapist, a bad person, an evil person, an antagonist or any kind of a villain. I mean, at first he comes across as someone who has God Syndrome, maybe a little autistic, or maybe even narcissistic. But I have looked at the scenes with him in great detail many times, and it seems to me that he is quite a good person, not prone to violence and disgusting actions.

He undoubtedly has some narcissistic tendencies and perhaps he does have God syndrome, but not clearly expressed and not in the negative sense.

And I also think that he doesn't care about humanity. I mean, he literally created a new life that is superior to humans in many ways, a new round of evolution, so to speak. Machines that know how to feel and love.

And this whole scene with him… it was like he was trolling the entire CyberLife through Connor.

He behaves confidently and defiantly, but I wouldn’t use the word “creepy” to describe him nor would I sexualize his behaviour.

He teases and provokes, but when Connor leaves, denying his deviancy, he tells Connor how to find a solution to a possible trap.

Why would he do this? Perhaps to spoil CyberLife, perhaps he just wants to see what all this struggle between humans and androids will lead to. He himself does not act, he just watches. And with all this, he creates the impression of a kind of parent who watches how his children grow up and what kind of life they build for themselves (this, by the way, is one of the reasons why I think that if Connor needed a parental figure, Kamski would be an ideal candidate in this case).

Kamski probably couldn't have foreseen that Connor and Hank would show up at his house, but I like the idea that he probably realized that Connor and Hank had a complicated but obvious relationship.

Just imagine him as a father whose child has come to introduce his lover to him.

Kamsky be like: “Son, are you saying that your chosen one is this big bear-man who is 53 years old, who is also a cop, lives in a small house with his dog and you met him a couple of days ago? Are you sure?”

"Yes, father, I'm going to marry Lieutenant Anderson, we'll live happily ever after and fuck a lot."

Kamski, looking Hank up and down: “Well, son, I, of course, could object, but I respect your choice. Your happiness is my happiness.”

Connor, ready to defend his choice: “Dad, even if you don’t agree, I still love… wait, you approve of my choice?”

Kamski: “Of course, son, this is your choice. And you chose a man for yourself… a good one. With a career, responsible, kind, who is probably one of those who only gets hotter with age, he has his own home and he clearly loves you more than his own life. How can I not approve of this choice?"

Andrew!Writer and Neil!Actor Au

Andrew wrote a book that was called a masterpiece, both by critics and the public. But immediately after completing it He lost all inspiration.

Meanwhile the book got so popular that somebody decided to make a movie out of it and they asked Andrew to be on set, to supervise if everything is according to his vision.

Andrew agrees out of pure boredom and then chills on set. Mostly just drinking awfully sugary coffees and when asked, giving his opinions in the form of shrugs or one word replies.

One day when he was napping between the sets, he suddenly hears one of the background actors arguing with the director, what was his name? Neil something, with pretty eyes and interesting scars, that the make-up crew always complain about. “Yeah, but do you know what sound people make when they get stabbed in the chest? Because I do, so don't tell me I am doing it wrong because I know more than you.”

Needless to say, Andrew is intrigued. He wants to know more about that guy. There are a thousand questions muddling his mind.

Who stabbed you? What is your eye color up close? Who gave you all these scars? Is that dimple in your cheek showing when you're really smiling? Who twisted you into the shape you are today? Is Neil your real name? What parts of you are real? What parts of you are lies?

They somehow exchange some words when they find each other smoking in the same secret place. Some words turned into meaningful conversations and into even more meaningful silences shared together.

In the movie Neil plays a plain, boring guy, whose main role is to be annoying for a few minutes and then being stabbed to death and forgotten. But in real life he is anything but. With every word shared, with every piece of history uncovered Andrew is more and more fascinated. With every boundary respected, with every harsh truth replied in kind and accepted Andrew wants. More and more.

He finds himself reaching for the pen for the first time in ages, wanting to memorialize everything about that boy. His memory is perfect.But there is something special about letting paper soak in this boy’s bloody past. Something that he needs to do, no, he wants to do.

At first it's just pieces of Neil’s stories, of burning car on the beach, of smiles that look too much Butcher’s to be anything joyful, of running running running…

… but eventually, without even realizing it's all joined in a story. One that might even be more world breaking than Andrew’s first one.

Eventually it's something more than just a book. Pages are full of freckles, cheeks and auburn locks, of icy eyes turning warm as they look at Andrew, of shared stories whispered between the dark, of trust and understanding, of a man who was so afraid of dying alone and being forgotten, without thinking Andrew created for him proof of his existence.

Every word, page, chapter is a confession.

And Andrew doesn't know what to do. He knows what that book tells, what it tells about Neil, what it tells about what he feels for Neil.

He can’t hide it, he feels as if he could explode with it.

So in truly Andrew’s fashion when he is done he just dumbs the manuscript on Neil’s lap and bails.

There are a few days of silence and then finally Neil shows up on Andrew’s porch.

He pants like mad, of course he runs to Andrew instead of taking a car like a normal person.

There is a manuscript in his hand, held so tight some pages crumble under his fingers.

“I am nothing… I always was. And I am tired of it.” he pants. “But You… you made me into something”

Andrew doesn’t know how to answer the raw emotion in Neil’s voice so he just scoffs, through a lump in his throat. “Don’t be an idiot.”

They both know what Andrew means. He didn't make anything out of Neil because he always was something, always was more than his history. More than his trauma.

Neil shakes his head, but there is a look in his eyes and Andrew knows Neil read all that was written between the lines. All the feelings, all the silent words.

“And You like me.”

Andrew narrows his eyes, but refuses to deny or repeat himself.

“You really do” says Neil with wonder in his eyes. “You like me so much you wrote an entire book about how pretty my eyes are, how interesting I am, and how much you want to take my clothes off and..!”

“Shut the fuck up.” “Make me” answers Neil with hooded eyes and a cheeky smile.

And Andrew doesn't even manage to fully finish asking Yes or No? before Neil interrupts him with Yes, yes Kiss me, and they fall into each other.

Later when they nestled on Andrew’s couch leaning on one another, too tired to kiss more, too buzzed to let each other free, They discuss the book. Neil agrees to let Andrew publish it, after he talks with the FBI and makes sure they won't be in trouble for it.

But he also blinks at Andrew and say:

“I can't believe you’re [writer name] and you didn't tell me, you know I am your great fan!”

(Of course Andrew writes under the pseudonym, of course Neil is a fan, who always cared more about the book than what the author looks like.)

And Andrew press a kiss into his forehead murmuring:

“We met on the set of my book, I was sitting almost entire time on chair with my name printed out on it, you dumbass”

----------------------------------------------

If you liked this check out my My compilation of all my AUs and Headcannons here :)

This was suppose to be it but I couldnt stop about their future in this AU soo..

The book is indeed a masterpiece and a year or so after publishing it Andrew again gots offers for movie adaptation. He agrees but only if Neil will play the main role (aka if he would play himself.)

(The Butcher case is closed but they both decided it's safer not to admit that the book is a biography yet)

The role is Neil’s entry into Hollywood, soon he is one of the most sought out actors

They refuse to ever comment on their relationship but paparazzi have so many photos of them walking hand in hand or sharing a meal in restaurant or just sitting in the park together looking at each other like they don't see anything else it's painfully obvious what they are too each other

few years in the future when all leads in Butcher case is finally closed, they decide together to open foundation helping kids with childhood similar to theirs

To help foundation they decide to both admit that the book is actually Neil biography and that they are together

They give interview to their favorite reporter

Neil explaining what book mean to him and how hard it was to play himself, to look back at all that awful things

Andrew explaining why the book was even created, how anytime Neil opened his mouth he let out a story and how Andrew was becoming addicted to it

“I wasn't meant to survive past 18 and when I did I was scared I would die anytime and be forgotten. Andrew saw that and made sure I became something more eternal.”

Genuinely kinda sad right now to poke my head into the Good Omen’s tag to try and see some season 1 fanart and instead finding some people arguing and complaining about the fact that a leak for the show has been pushed down in the tags to hide it, instead of being voraciously discussed and celebrated.

And to see some people just purely blaming this reaction on the fact that the leak had made Neil Gaiman upset, in a tone that really feels as if the person was rolling their eyes over the whole thing.

Sure, there’s an argument to be made about how bad spoiler culture’s gotten-especially with how the Marvel film directors were reacting to it-and about how the value of any media isn’t decreased just because bits and pieces of it were exposed out of context before that context could be experienced first hand.

I’ve even seen people talking about liking being spoiled, how it lessens their anxiety somewhat about watching something new for the first time. I don’t get it, but hey you do you, liking being spoiled and seeking out spoilers for yourself aren’t the problem.

The problem is that the living author of this whole series is currently on a strike that is meant to improve writer’s working conditions as a whole in this new age of streaming services that’ve been up to this point screwing them over, and without any consultation with him, someone over at Amazon Prime went and released information about a (big? important? surprising?) part of his work a whole month before its release, and lots of fans who’ve been dying to know what happens but also wanting to wait for that release came across it and now won’t be able to unsee it. Fans that didn’t want to be spoiled, that wanted to experience it firsthand in its original context.

First off, the whole context behind the leak just feels really distasteful considering everything that’s going on with the writer’s strike, to put it lightly. Second off, there is a reason that it’s called a spoiler. Of course you can’t keep having a first experience, eventually you’ll want to rewatch or read or play whatever it is you enjoyed, but you’ll always be able to remember that first experience, the excitement surrounding it and how that one pivotal moment impacted you. Even though not knowing something is going to happen and waiting for something to happen can both be ways to enjoy watching something, they’re very fundamentally different experiences, and it’s a completely different ball game when a group of people really, really enjoy the former, but then are forced both by the streaming service and the group of people who enjoy the latter to ONLY be able to experience their first viewing of something they were really excited for as waiting for something to happen.

You saw the leak and got really excited about it, and know your friends would enjoy talking about it with you, without being upset their option of going into something blind was taken from them? Go ahead and talk with them about it!!! It’s really not that hard to keep in mind that there is no universal opinion. Everybody’s different. Just because you see leaks as no big deal and even as something positive and exciting, doesn’t mean that everyone on the internet agrees with you. Please just try and be respectful of other people out there. Let them be able to wait and see.

#good omens #just kinda ranting i guess #tl dr please just tag your stuff if you've got something you know will spoil other people's experience of wanting to go into something blind #or even better don't share something that is obviously a leak with vast amounts of people online with vastly differing opinions on spoilers #and just share it with friends you know would be excited about it

hello! hope you have a good day! I love reading your meta.

as a fan of Katara, can you please share your opinion about the TSR episode? I love Katara very much, but this episode has always caused me discomfort, as if Katara's grief was used to hastily close this hole "zuko has redeemed himself and now they are friends." it seems to me that Katara and her grief (as well as Sokka's grief!) deserved a better attitude than to become a bargaining chip "we will write a hasty episode to redeem Zuko and will not return to this topic anymore." Yes, I understand that this episode is firstly dedicated to Katara, but it always seemed to me that it was written without due respect for her.

so I wasn’t gonna answer this because you mentioned voldemort but then like a hypocrite I broke my own rule and replied to an idiot so here it is:

while I think the premise of TSR is egregious I don’t think the episode as a whole is ruined because of it. I actually think it’s the climax of Katara’s entire arc as it builds off from multiple moments not just about her mother, but her as a bender, her power and always remaining in control of said power. not to mention all this time, she’s confronted and helped persons that have been oppressed throughout the war and now seeing someone who oppressed people for most of his life, of course inflicting unparalleled pain on her, but not letting him own that power and reducing him to (figurative not literal!!) shreds. very good stuff.

so yes, i enjoy it voldemort aside, however comma: the premise is indeed quite horrible.

i agree, the writers definitely used katara and sokka’s trauma as a means for this very middling redemption arc after 3, just as bad if not worse, episodes of the same stuff IN A ROW.

katara getting yelled at for not being so forgiving like everyone else, and then sokka’s trauma being used as a means of information for a trip he wasn’t invited on???

(can we be real for a second and admit that sokka and katara should have been the two persons on that trip in the first place?)

next up, my favorite line:

forgiveness is the same as doing nothing!

coming from the person that literally begged for forgiveness from every other person in the conversation, including katara hhhhhhhh

and then the racist comments to boot like 😭😭 may i remind you once again the premise is based on him needing to earn a genocide survivor’s forgiveness so of course he (the writers) couldn’t help himself and had to make fun of the other genocide survivor! he makes it so easy for me to be a hater.

(can we also talk about how some people like to frame this as him defending katara as if 1, katara can’t defend herself?? which she did and 2, didn’t need to be racist to do it???)

and then you have the sokka discourse which pisses me off because most people that harp over that line don’t even like him like that, and trying to pick and choose which sibling is correct when talking about their mother’s death?? both of their opinions were valid and it’s a reflection of their core personalities: sokka is pragmatic, rational and logical. he didn’t agree with aang because he suddenly adopted pacifism, he agreed with aang because yon rha no longer posed a threat to him and his loved ones and to him, confronting him wouldn’t be worth the effort or ease the pain of kya’s death. meanwhile, katara as we see throughout the show, dives headfirst into doing whatever she thinks is right (imprisoned, painted lady, waterbending scroll) she wasn’t concerned about the logistics, she was concerned about the principle and of course, having to essentially replace her mother’s role made her feel more tied to her death at large. one mean comment throughout sixty one episodes does not define her relationship with sokka. pretending otherwise is just annoying.

after that, i find the episode pretty enjoyable i can’t lie to you. getting kya’s story told and witnessing the satisfying climax to katara’s arc (which is far superior to anyone else’s in my opinion) makes the rest.. almost worth it.

I think enough time has passed for me to talk about this. Keep in mind that this is just MY personal opinion.

……

First of all, I just want to say that Saku is an absolute BEAST at writing—whether that be at writing scripts or his characters. His voice acting is incredible—he puts so much emotion into ALL of his work—and voice acts like rent is due—and this audio was no different. I have such a tremendous amount of respect for him and his work, always and forever.

That being said: This audio annoyed me to NO END.

Specifically, ALEX’S behavior annoyed me.

THERE IS AN EGREGIOUSLY LONG RANT ABOUT IT UNDER THE CUT‼️

Now, before any of ya’ll get all up in arms, I fully agree with everyone when I say that listener was most certainly in the wrong for how they acted in part 4. Not only did they accuse their boyfriend of four years of cheating on them with absolutely no proof, but they also invaded his privacy by going though his phone. I cannot imagine coming home from a long day of work and wanting to cuddle up with your partner, only for them to accuse of you something that you’d never do with no evidence to back it up. That must hurt, and I completely understand why Alex was so distraught by the way listener was acting.

HOWEVER, this whole incident only happened ONE TIME. ONE TIME over the course of FOUR YEARS of this relationship. Now, it’d be different if listener accused him of cheating many times. It’d be different if listener regularly invaded his privacy; it be different if situations like these were something normal in this relationship—but its obvious that it’s not. Alex mentioned many times in the breakup audio that listener usually isn’t like this—that they’re usually a calm and rational individual—which leads me to believe that them accusing Alex was a lapse in judgement on their part. A moment of weakness that stemmed from the trauma they had to endure by their last partner who also cheated on them. I am not at all saying that their actions are suddenly wiped clean from the face of the Earth because they have trauma—hell no. However, context in many situations is important—and this case is no different. If this was something that happened again and again over the course of four years, Alex would’ve left way sooner than this—this was the one and only time they’ve done this, and normally, people who usually have such a calm temperament don’t switch up very easily—which means there must’ve been a reason WHY they’re acting like this in the first place.

This brings me to my next point: Alex actively acknowledges the fact that this behavior was new for listener—so, if this is the case, why hasn’t he tried to get to the bottom of it yet? I’m not saying that he suddenly needs to morph into a Paleontologist—trying to dig up ancient artifacts to discover the secrets of the world or some shit—but I’m saying, if you KNOW that this isn’t normal behavior, why haven’t you at least TRIED to ASK what’s wrong them? You’d think that if someone you loved started acting differently from their usual temperament, it’d be a cause for a little concern, and would prompt you to ask them what’s the matter, but even in THIS AUDIO, it’s still very apparent that Alex still doesn’t know the reason why listener acted the way they did—because he is STILL SPECULATING on why what happened, happened! And yes, although he TECHNICALLY asked them, “What has been going on with you lately?” He said this as a response to listener catching onto the fact that he just told them that they weren’t the right person to be in a long distance relationship to their FACE. He said this in an accusatory tone, and I really don’t think he was actually asking for the ACTUAL reason why in that very moment. It’s just so very odd to me that he makes absolutely no attempt to try and figure out what happened to them—especially if this behavior is recent. Kayson is a really good example of this. In the New Years audio, he noticed that his listener wasn’t acting like their usual self—and he asked them what was the matter because he loves and cares about them. What ensued was a healthy conversation, where his listener was able to explain what was going on with them—and they were both able to come to a solution. Now, was Kayson’s and Alex’s situation the same? No, but the point is that Kayson recognized that there was something wrong his partner and actually made an attempt to get to the bottom of it because he CARED. Alex never did this, despite him saying how much he loves his partner.

But more than anything, one of biggest things that bothers me the most about Alex’s dialogue to the listener was his excuses for why they shouldn’t stay together. The way he broke things off with them is really sickening, to be honest.

When listener (rightfully) gets upset that they were the last to know about Alex’s job offer in NYC, a big life event that affects them both, he tells them, “I thought I knew you”. Which is odd. So—what you’re saying here is: because your partner acts out of their usual temperament this ONE TIME, you suddenly you don’t know them after FOUR YEARS together? I understand that them snapping at him was very jarring and surprising, given their usual temperament—however, just because they did it one time doesn’t mean that they suddenly morphed into a person who acts purely off of emotion. They are still the same person! Why is he acting like they’ve suddenly switched personalities because of the one time they let their emotions get the best of them??

Then when listener presents the idea of long distance, he tells them:

“Long distance? I mean, I think I could do it…if I was with the right person….”

…

What the hell is THAT supposed to mean? Is this NOT an out of pocket thing to say to the person you’ve been with for four years??

And when listener asks him something along the lines of, “So, we’re breaking up?” Or “So, am I not the right person?” This man had the actual AUDACITY to snap at them and accuse them of jumping to conclusions and even go so far as to denying that he was even alluding to it in the first place! If you weren’t alluding to it, what was the point of saying it AT ALL? And how the hell else was listener supposed to interpret that? This part really pissed me off because he was straight up gaslighting listener into thinking that they were in the wrong and that they were “jumping to conclusions”, when they had every right to react the way they did! And I find it absolutely insane that he scolds listener for jumping to conclusions when he is doing the same thing a well. He jumped to the conclusion that he doesn’t know the person he loved for four years because they let their emotions get the better of them. He jumped to the conclusion that listener would react terribly to the news of getting that job offer in NYC, and therefore, he waited who KNOWS how long to tell them about it. And, most importantly, he jumped to the conclusion that this relationship wasn’t worth saving because of just ONE SINGULAR ARGUEMENT. He cries and cries, saying how he loves them so much and how he doesn’t want to loose them, and yet does absolutely nothing to keep them around. He sobs and tries to comfort them, but also puts all the blame on them as well. Instead of trying to solve things with the person who he claims to be the love of his life, he instead makes flimsy ass excuses and tries to find all the reasons he could think of to leave. And for someone who claims to love them so much, he certainly gave up way too damn easily.

Look, it is very apparent that Alex’s passion is his first love—period. And I really do think that listener should do their best support him in his endeavors, but his dialogue in his audio was just full of excuses to make the breakup easier on himself, which is not only selfish, but a little cruel, too. He never tried to make things work.

If he would’ve told listener about the job offer in NYC sooner, there would’ve been a different outcome. If he would’ve told them that he was still feeling terrible after the whole argument, there would’ve been a different outcome. If Alex had actually made the effort to see what was the matter with listener, there would’ve been a different outcome. If listener would’ve handled their emotions in a calmer manner, there would’ve been a different outcome. Alex has a really big problem with keeping things to himself. It seems like he doesn’t communicate how he feels until it all bubbles over and he jumps to his own conclusions instead of actually talking it out.

It would’ve been a whole different story if listener refused to admit that they have trust issues, and refused to seek help, but that is not the case here. They were willing to work on themselves; they were willing do better. The only person who wasn’t willing to try was Alex. Listener did everything they could to get Alex to stay. Hell, they even proposed to go to NYC with him—just so they could stay by his side, and Alex couldn’t even find it in himself to even ATTEMPT to work things out with them. That’s what made this whole break up so goddamn sickening.

He made such a big point about “being honest ourselves” and “to not say things we don’t mean”, and yet the most dishonest person in the room is him. He makes such a big point about trust being one of the most important parts of a relationship, and although he is not wrong, EFFORT is was keeps the relationship going, and that is something that he clearly lacks. And in all honesty, if THIS is how he is going to act when he runs into problems and gets into quarrels with his future partners, then good luck on trying to maintain a long term relationship. Four perfect years, and all it took was ONE argument to make him leave. He just didn’t want to be tied down, thats it, and thats all. It pisses me off that he even tried to tell listener that this will benefit them both because “they will be with someone else who they could fully trust”, as if it’ll be different with anyone else. Trust issues won’t poof into thin air because you are with another person. He got cheated on himself and his ass STILL doesn’t know how trust issues work.

In conclusion, this whole audio was just Alex blaming listener for their breakup, him crying, making flimsy ass excuses on why the relationship will not work—giving up on the relationship before even trying to make things work, and him gaslighting them, too. And out of ALL the audios I’ve watched from Saku, Alex’s character was the FIRST one to actually give me the ick.

Listener needed reassurance and love, and they executed their feelings horribly. Alex has problems with communication, and maybe even honesty. He put all the blame on listener and made it seem like they were the one who made the relationship fail, all the while trying his best to not pass as the bad guy; but in reality, it was both of them who made this relationship end.

….

WHEW! That was A LOT!

If you made it all the way down here, I thank you so much, and I apologize for it being so damn long. I’ve been sitting on these feelings for a long time now, and I just needed to get them out.

Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

Penny’s 2 heart event sure is a controversial one (the one where she pushed George’s wheelchair without permission) so I’m going to throw my opinion on it out there cause why not

TW! mention of bad upbringings, implication of child ab*se, mention of negative self thinking, Y’know, Penny and Pam stuff

In case you’ve forgotten this heart event sees Penny try to help out George when he struggles to get his Mail from the back of the mailbox, which you know is lovely, nice neighbourly assistance. However, she didn’t ask whether or not he needed help (doing so being good manners) and also pushed his wheelchair without permission with him in it (that’s a no-no and is as disrespectful as pushing someone without a wheelchair (except George is less likely to fall as a result)). Now, this is a problem with the Stardew community as it shows a lack of knowledge and compassion with wheelchair users. However the biggest issue people have with it is if you explain that what Penny did isn’t okay to Penny you lose friendship with her.

Now this seems really out of place, especially when you consider that if you agree Penny did the right thing George then apologises to Penny! Not the way round that should be done.

Before I continue I want to make it clear that this mistake doesn’t inherently make Penny a bad person, but this is my take on why her losing friendship points is a good story telling aspect for the character (in my opinion)

Please finish reading before responding pls don’t pull a Twitter I swear it’s justified-

Starting off with why penny would do this to grumpy old man George, it kinda makes sense, like George is the kind of guy to reject all help if offered to him, man’s got a tonne of bottled up toxic masculinity. However, this still doesn’t justify it, it’s just an explanation as to why Penny didn’t bother asking, she’s lived next to that man for a long time she knows how he is.

So she goes and tries to help George and pushes in wheelchair around without permission, which is still a no-no. However when you tell her it’s a no-no you lose friendship points with her? What the hell Penny, we’re trying to help you out her girl!

But here’s why I think she would lose friendship points and it’s very in character

Pam

Pam is the only parent in Penny’s life and has been for a long time (god knows where the baby daddy is) so it makes sense for Penny to not understand the etiquette around wheelchair users and people with other physical disabilities, doesn’t it? I mean, she learnt is from Pam, and Pam isn’t really a beacon of good morals is she?

It’s the same logic behind internalised homophobia, you grow up around people who are homophobic so even if you are gay or do your best to be inclusive it takes more then someone who didn’t grow up around the same levels of homophobia. Penny grew up around someone who wouldn’t bother educating her about people who are different due to physical disabilities etc

Penny is open minded, she’d never discriminate, but she was never taught the etiquette surrounding things like wheelchairs and how to respect wheelchair users

But why does she lose friendship with us when we try to teach her the etiquette?

I have an idea

Because it makes her think, somewhere deep in her bones, that she’s just going to become her mother. That no matter how much she tries to be open minded and be everything her mother isn’t she’s still failing and nothing can change that

This isn’t true of course but Penny didn’t have the best upbringing and Pam has been seen to insult her when she gets mad, so Penny definitely has low self esteem and would think in this manner.

But that’s just a theory, a game theory!

But seriously, it does make sense when you think too much about it (which I have)

#stardew valley #sdv #Sdv penny #sdv pam #stardew valley headcanons #heart events #I’m not a therapist or anything so don’t take my word as gospel #but this just made sense for her character I feel

I feel like this needs to be said because of all the stuff happening lately. Apologies if this post is a mess.

I want to thank all of the Byler’s who post in the tag. Whether it be shit posts, memes, long analysis, random thoughts, or all of the above mixed in with posts about your life; Thank you for being here and making fandom fun! The tag has been a mess recently and I think we’re all aware of that because of all the recent deactivations. There’s always been a bit of toxicity in the Stranger Things fandom (as there is in just about all other fandoms), but I feel it's been amplified here due to the lack of content and long wait. Another reason it’s a lot more prominent in the Stranger Things fandom, to begin with, is because of its popularity. In the coming months, we should see some things regarding S5 come up for us to talk about, but if you’re not into leaks then you’re in for an even longer drought (and when it comes to said leaks, please take them with a grain of salt).

I originally came here from Twitter so I’ve seen a lot. Ppl leaving isn’t new to me, and it is a pretty common thing with fandoms in general. Sometimes it’s over something simple, like ppl losing their interest, and other times it’s because ppl don’t know how to use the block button and want to be rude, hateful, and harass others into leaving, or cause/insert themselves into drama for entertainment. It’s understandable to be bored during droughts and perhaps become irritable, but if you like creating/being in drama, please don’t put it in the main tag. Not everybody is going to agree and it is what it is. Some posts you may agree with, some posts you may not, some you may partly agree with, some you may partly disagree with. If you ever come across something that really bothers you, big or small, just use the block button or mute/filter things you don’t want to see. You can always make your own post sharing your thoughts about whatever the topic may have been. There are so many ways to control content you consume. It’s important to remember we’re all here for a good time, so let ppl have fun and learn to draw a line.

It’s OK to be opinionated, but I think some things that are important to note is the difference between head-canons and canon. Head-canons are personal interpretations about a character. It’s not ACTUALLY canon. Some head-canons can be based off of things that ARE canon, but it’s important to realize that it’s still NOT ACTUALLY canon. Canon is confirmed. It’s OK to not agree with somebody else’s head-canon, but it’s not a reason to be rude to them. You can share your own opinions with them in a respectful way or separately. However, I feel like some ppl want to make things problematic to further push their narrative or are genuinely just not educated enough. And of course there are exceptions to just about everything, like potentially problematic head-canons which I think is OK to have discussions about, but once again, that’s why we need to learn to draw a line.

I also know hate anons have been a problem lately. If you’re ever getting a lot of hate anons, please don’t be afraid to protect yourself and turn off the anon feature/not allow asks. If that doesn’t work don’t be afraid to block and report. If none of these are working, just know it’s OK if you feel like social media is becoming too much. Take a break if you need to, distance yourself if you need to, make a completely new account if you need to. You can always let the ppl who care about you know you need to go away for awhile.

Lastly, don’t feel pressure to post! That’s one way to add a lot of stress onto yourself and become tired of your interests. I promise everything is going to be fine and Byler’s/ the Stranger Things fandom will always be here if/when you come back.

🖤 Ran Headcanons 🖤

| Some of my SFW headcanons for a character with zero lines and only a minute of screen time but I love them and we’re married. @sevikitty has very similar headcanons to mine so I’d definitely check out their list of Ran Headcanons.

If you don’t agree with my headcanons its obviously okay and I actually encourage you to tell me your headcanons. (Be respectful of course) |

—————————————————————————

• Ran is in their mid 20s, maybe early 30s by the end of season 1.

• Non-binary, on the asexual spectrum (because I am and they give me the vibe), and bisexual. (I believe that they canonically use she/they pronouns.)

• Very quiet person. In a group setting, she doesn’t contribute to conversation unless asked for her opinion or feels like she has something important to say.

• The type of person to say something sarcastic or blunt and accidentally make people laugh.

• Ran’s an observer. Loves to just sit at The Last Drop and just people watch with Oba. Always notices small things when they step into a room. Has probably stopped Sevika and Dustin from walking into Jinx’s boobytraps before.

• Has at least 3 pet rats that her and Dustin named and take care of.

• Dustin is their best friend. They’ve been best friends since they were kids.

• Oba (the person in the picture above. Name not confirmed) and them met when they were a little older. The three of them are a trio, always together.

• Ran seems to hang out with this one patron with tattoos. They’re the same person they arm wrestled and the same person they play pool with before Vi and Sevika’s final fight. He seems way older so I’m saying he’s either their dad or they just have a casual, competitive friendship.

• Piggybacking off of that, Ran is very competitive and kind of a sore loser. Won’t make a huge scene or anything since they’re pretty reserved but will huff, walk away, and hold a small grudge for a bit.

• Will give people the silent treatment but unless that person really knows them, they might not even notice since Ran is usually quiet.

• I think we’ve established that Ran is very quiet but I also think their kind of a go-with-the-flow kind of person. People come up to them and ask if they wanna arm wrestle or play cards, they don’t usually initiate it unless they lost a game to someone and they want a rematch. Dustin usually has these stupid schemes that Ran just kind goes along with just to see how it turns out, not because they believe in the idea. They’re just the kind of person to just sort of shrug and go ‘okay’ with things.

• Not a dancer. Probably will dance with Dustin and Oba if it’s just them, but won’t dance at a party. Even when they do dance, they just sort of sway and bob their head.

• If a song they like comes on at the bar, they’ll tap/drum their fingers along to it without even realizing it. Dustin calls them out on it sometimes and they get embarrassed.

• I’m not sure how they lost their hand but I don’t think they lost it in the explosion Powder caused. Might have lost it in a fight. Maybe a sword fight.

• In the scene after Vi knocks down the neon sign and Silco is beating the shit out of Dustin, we see Ran running away in the background. I saw one person theorize that Ran was running after Vi and Caitlyn but I personally think Ran just didn’t want to be on the other end of Silco’s anger like Dustin. Silco has probably has taken his frustration out on them before in the past. Ran knows they can’t stop Silco from beating Dustin so they probably think it’s best if they just keep their distance for now until they can grab Dustin later when Silco walks away.

• Ran, Dustin, Oba, and (sometimes) Sevika will patch each other up after fights. It’s kind of the only time they can all let their guard down a bit since they trust each other. They’re a strange little family and they really care about each other but they won’t admit it out loud (especially not Sevika). But they don’t have to, they know.

• Vi and Ran use to be somewhat friends. Ran being older (maybe 4-6 years older). Vi looked up to Ran and had a small ‘kid crushing on their babysitter’ crush on them. And Ran thought Vi was a good kid and taught her some stuff about fighting and how to jump between buildings.

• Ran has a tongue piercing.

• Ran, Dustin, and Oba do each others makeup and nails 100%.

• I think enforcers either arrested or killed one of Ran’s parents when she was around 13 and the other parent fell into a depressive state so Ran had to take care of them and herself. If the man with the tattoos is their father, then they seem to have a good relationship now.

• Is an only child but will say Dustin is their brother if anyone asked.

—————————————————————————

| I’ll probably add to this list in the future cause I’m always think about Ran and making headcanons for her cause I’m obsessed.

Again, if you have any headcanons about them, I’d love to hear them. |

[INTERVIEW] 230922 IU in Elle Korea Oct Issue (Part 2 of 2)

Q: I really do see you repaying others for the love that you have received. Through “IU’s Palette” (shortened as “Palette” below), you’ve been actively communicating with and cheering on girl group juniors like ITZY, New Jeans and so on. Do you feel envious or get curious about the life of a girl group member sometimes?

I do feel envious when I see how they are witnesses for each other’s growth and can share moments of glory like when they win awards. Certainly, I think it’s tiring for them too. The girl group friends I’ve met on “Palette” are all really mature and I’m grateful for the healthy energy that we send to each other. Rather than as a senior, I try my best to show them how I feel as a fan or average person on the streets — things like how much positive strength they give many people as artists, or how much energy I have gained in my life from listening to their music.

Q: You seem to have carved your identity as an emcee through “Palette”. What’s the greatest thing you have gained through this new role?

The main highlight for “Palette” is switching songs (TL note: Singing each other’s songs in one’s own style) That, in itself, is an expression of respect, that “I like your music, so I’ve tried interpreting it in my own style like this.” I’m really really grateful that my guests put in great effort to cover my songs. Singing a song cover is something that I do while practising great caution, because of the worry that I might ruin the song, so it’s not something I do that often.

Q: What do you mean you worry that you might ruin the song?

Yeah, that’s right! If I sing a song that I like, what if I like it less as a result? Of course I have such feelings.

Q: During the Kim Sejeong episode, she had many thoughts about the feeling of passionately liking someone as well as cherishing her own songs while singing them. How much do you like your own songs?

It was an episode that made me think a lot too. For someone who was influenced by my music from a young age and dreamed of becoming a singer, to show me that she likes me, that really gave me strength and the professionalism she displayed when sharing her personal stories and the pride she has in her own songs made her look really cool. As always, I’m sitting on the fence about this. There’s a side of me that loves my songs and thinks that my songs are the best and yet, innately, there’s a side of me that can’t help being critical of myself. Nonetheless, I think self-objectification and having a sense of balance are important. I don’t think I will lean towards either side in the future either.

Q: In your journey of 15 years, I think you would have been very much influenced by the self-awareness that the way your fans consistently support and love you is by treating you like a young female artist. There is a collective awareness that they should protect you from excessive criticism and feedback right?

Having worked throughout my teens and 20s and now in my 30s, certainly the way we work has changed, but I also sensed that the way the general public views celebrities has changed a lot. There is a social atmosphere that we shouldn’t ignore anybody’s opinion as well as the attitude that we should respect and accept even a young celebrity for who he or she is. There are still areas that need improvement, but I think there are more people now who agree that no one should just be hated. Every now and then, I’m touched to see how perspectives have changed.

[TL note: IU previously shared how she was called a pig and booed by the audience when she performed her Mia debut stage at the age of 16.]

Q: Even if you believe that ‘love will conquer all’, you will still be receiving explicit and undying hate. You’re dealing with the hate firmly?

I need to deal with this in separate ways. Some of this is really explicit hate. That’s called an opinion and shouldn’t be lumped together with the feedback that the general public sends me. I think there’s a need to draw a line to clearly and firmly differentiate the two.

Q: During your early days when you made your debut, you said you were afraid of receiving compliments like “you’re doing a good job given your age”. How do you feel about that now? Do you think you’ve become someone who does a good job irregardless of your age?

Having lived through my life so far, I think I’ve found the age that suits me best. In my teens and 20s, I was under pressure to show people an image of myself that matches the impression they have of someone that age. They looked forward to a much livelier and lovelier younger sister sort of image from me than I had the energy to pull off. Actually, at that age I was full of self-hatred and had a pessimistic world-view…

Q: Isn’t that what being a teen is like?

That’s right! That’s ‘real’. (TL note: The irony here that IU’s Real album was not the real IU.) Now even if I speak in my original tone, people won’t ask me, “IU, are you in a bad mood?” When I was young (TL note: younger), I would always have to speak in a tone 3 keys higher. Also, now that I’ve been in the industry for a long time, I get the sense that people no longer observe closely and wonder, ‘what stunt is she going to pull this time?’ They just listen to my music and accept my natural and familiar presence to receive the energy that they can receive from me. I’m grateful for that and I like it. I really like how I just have to think about how to show my thoughts through my music.

Q: You’re aware that you’re still young right?

If I were to have a goal, it would be to hear people say, “Wah, that grandmother is still doing a good job” when I am 75 or 80 years old. Since I heard people saying, “You’re doing a good job given your age” in my teens (laughs). That’s a big change for me. I used to think that when I get older, I would be doing something different, but currently, I’m confident that I’ll love my job for a long time.

Q: By the way, you wore the marshmallow suit and went to your 15th debut anniversary exhibition. Do you think your fans really didn’t recognise you? Or were they just pretending?

Yes! If they were just pretending, I would feel very sorry. How considerate they would have been, to pretend that they didn’t recognise me.. But I think they really didn’t know. I really don’t look good in the marshmallow suit. I’m the only short and ugly marshmallow we ever had (laughs).

Here’s my tier list for Madoka Magica ships. This template was created by Psyga315 (Adam Adams) on tiermaker!

I’ll give my very scientific reasoning for why I put each of these ships on their respective tiers.

S Tier:

Madoka x Sayaka: They’re the best of friends and I think they could be a great couple. They both obviously really care for each other.

Madoka x Homura: Uh duh. My girl literally went back in time for years in order to save Madoka.

Sayaka x Kyoko: Uh duh pt.2. The enemies to lovers story for Madoka Magica. The scene where Kyoko sacrifices herself. That’s all I needed to say.

A Tier:

Homura x Kyoko: I really like them. They’re both magical girls who’ve been fucked over and then grew apathetic. People misjudged them both and saw them as cruel and heartless; when deep down they care about a lot.

Homura x Mami: They’re both veteran magical girls who serve as examples for Madoka and Sayaka; albeit in VERY different ways. They both have very different views on being a magical girl which is a very interesting part of their relationship.

B Tier:

Homura x Sayaka: There’s also that “very different views on being a magical girl” thing that makes their relationship very interesting; found with both Homura x Mami and Sayaka x Kyoko. But of course a lot more antagonistic than Homura and Mami and less emotional than Sayaka and Kyoko.

Sayaka x Mami: I like it! Sayaka idolized Mami and that’s where she gets all of her ideas about being a magical girl from. It’s in B Tier cause there’s not a lot on Mami’s side though.

C Tier:

Kyoko x Madoka: They had their moments.

Mami x Kyoko: Basically Sayaka x Kyoko if it was a lot less interesting.

Madoka x Mami: Ok I like their mentor- mentoree relationship. Honestly I should have put this on B tier but the tier has already been made so oop.

D Tier:

Most of the Hitomi ships: I really like Hitomi as a character but I don’t see her working with anyone.

E Tier:

Homura x Hitomi: This one just makes less sense to me than the other Hitomi ships. Like I can kind of understand the others. Madoka and Sayaka are her friends. Mami and Hitomi have kind of similar personalities. Hitomi never breaks a rule and Kyoko has a disregard for everything. But I don’t understand….anything about Homura and Hitomi. Maybe someone can help me out lol.

F Tier:

All Nagisa ships: She’s a lot younger than the main cast, and even if she was their age honestly I just don’t like Nagisa as a character that much. She’s only interesting cause she turns into Charlotte.

So do you agree with me or should I be burned at the stake? But in all seriousness; share your opinions!
