Craig x Fem!Reader x Tweek

(EVERYONE IS 18+)

Warning: Smut, unprotected sex, oral (m! + f! receiving), cum swallowing (it’s implied), threesome, fingering, degradation (the tiniest bit of praise), slight edging (?), semi-public sex (idk other people can hear you), uh i think that’s everything i don’t know how to tag these things😵‍💫(some parts might sound ooc im sorry!!)

A/N: I didn’t expect y’all to love the Creek stuff but here you go my loves🤭 (also this was not proofread please tell me of any misspellings!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧˖°.

There stood your two lovers, Tweek and Craig, their hands shaking in rage as they looked at the huge mural of you and their close friend Clyde together. Ever since you started hanging out those same girls who once got them together have been shipping you and Clyde together and this made Tweek and Craig absolutely furious. “AcK- Craig can you believe this?” Tweek’s mind was racing with panicked thoughts of you leaving him and Craig “W-what if she leaves us for him aHh! This is too much!!” “Calm down honey” Craig rubs Tweek’s back trying to calm him down before sighing “I knew we should’ve just been open and told everyone we’re in a poly relationship now look at this shit!” He face palmed mentally. Craig knew you were well known around South Park it would have been only a matter of time before you started getting shipped with someone he just wished it was with him and Tweek, I mean they were your boyfriends for fucks sake! “T-That was too much pressure!!” Tweek was practically about to pull his hair out. “Don’t worry I’ve been thinking of a way to make it know” Craig smirks and Tweek gives him a confused look “Don’t worry honey I’ll tell you all about my plan on the way, now come on I’m sure Y/N’s waiting for us at the coffee shop”

As they walk to the shop they couldn’t help but notice something that only fueled their anger and jealousy even more, Clyde. Craig’s whole body tensed up and his grip on Tweek’s hand tightened causing the blonde to turn and look at what was happening.

You had been cleaning a bit while waiting for your lovers to arrive when Clyde had walked in and struck up a conversation. You’re body leaned against the counter as you and Clyde spoke when suddenly you heard the cafe door slam open. “So then I- What the hell??” Clyde jumped as Craig and Tweek walked in “Oh hey guys what’s up?” His smile fading quickly as his friends glared at him “Okay?..Anyways Y/N-“ “AH!-Actually WE need to t-talk to her right now” Tweek cut him off ‘Weird’ you thought, you’d never seen them act like this before ���Well we can go into the back office, I’ll be right back Clyde!” You waved as the guys dragged you away from him.

You could feel the tension in the air as you walked in turning to look at your boyfriends. “So…What’s going on guys?” You asked awkwardly “What’s going on?? Seriously Y/N don’t you see what’s being spread around??” Craig answered back angrily “All these people are convinced you’re with Clyde!!” The jealousy pumping through his veins as he pulled you towards him and Tweek “You’re ours and I think it’s time we let people know” he growled in you ear. “I-In here?” You questioned as he grabbed you and sat you on the desk “People will hear guys” Craig smirked “I’m sure you’d like that considering how much of a whore you’ve been lately, don’t you think Tweek?” Tweek chuckled and nodded in agreement “B-better they hear and know”

He kissed down your neck as Craig untied your apron and unbuttoned your work shirt. Both men began leaving trails of hickies down your neck and breast switching sides so Tweek was now in front of you he continued to kiss down your torso, Craig removed your bra and began teasing your tits making you whimper. Tweek unzipped your pants and pulled them down to around your ankles before beginning to kiss your inner thighs running his hands painfully close to your aching core “Tweek..” you whimpered again making both men laugh. “What’s w-wrong baby? Feeling needy?” Tweek looked up at you with a sly grin, you rarely got to see this overly dominant side of him but when you did god did it make you wet. “Please Tweek” “I don’t know Tweek I think she’s been to much of a slut to deserve it” Craig smirked giving your breast a soft squeeze making you groan “So fucking slutty, bet you’re soaked just from us teasing aren’t you?” You hear Tweek chuckle as he pulled down your panties “Oh s-she is Craig” his fingers hovered over your clit teasingly making you shiver in anticipation “F-fucking whore” Tweek growled before sticking two of his fingers into your wet folds. You gasped loudly as he began sliding them in and out of you rapidly “F-Fuck Tweek!!” You moaned loudly “So loud, though you didn’t want anyone to hear this you slut” Craig grinned smugly as he undid his pants “Time to get that pretty mouth of yours to work” he said as he pulled cock out from his pants “Come on bitch you know you want it” You laid back on the desk as Tweek continued to ravish your pussy and Craig tapped his cock on your cheek “Go on, suck it whore” You wasted no time getting to work giving his tip kitten licks as you stoked the rest of his length. “Fuck…good whore” Craig groaned as you began to slowly began to sick your head down his shaft. Tweek smirked and flattered his tongue against your clit teasingly before harshly sucking on it making you moan around Craig cock “Yeah j-just like that baby” he removed his fingers from inside you switching to his tongue, he lapped your juices rapidly making moan even louder as you felt yourself getting closer to cumming. “A-Are you close?” Tweek asked as he pulled away, his thumb circling your clit as you pulled away from Craig and nodded desperately. “Switch?” He asked Craig “Switch” he grinned mischievously as they exchanged spots with Craig between your legs and Tweek in front of you face now. You quickly began to stroke Tweek’s dick before bringing it to your mouth as Craig teased your entrance with his cock making you whimper around Tweek. “G-gah!” Tweek moaned as your mouth did wonders on his cock. Craig slid into your wet folds a low groan escaping his lips as he began slowly began to thrust into you “That’s it take it like a good slut” he cooed in your ear as his thrust began to speed up. You’re moans we’re sending chills up Tweek’s spine as you sucked him off, he grabbed onto your hair pushing himself deeper into your throat “F-fuck- close!!” You continued even faster as you hear his breath quicken “Ngh! Y/N!!” He let out one last high pitched groan before he came in your mouth holding your head down on his cock. Craig chuckled and began thrusting even faster and harder that before as he felt your walls clenching around him “That’s it whore, cum for us” His animalistic thrust sent you over the edge and you came hard screaming out in pleasure “F-fuck” Craig grunted as his thrust became sloppier and he pushed himself into you on last time before he came.

By the next day everyone knew of your relationship with Tweek and Craig. Not because you guys announced it out loud but because poor Clyde heard the whole thing from outside the office and told everyone.

Plot holes in the lunar chronicles that I’ve noticed on my millionth read through that WILL NOT detract from my enjoyment:

1) Marissa Meyer does not know how freckles work

see Cress having freckles despite zero sun exposure (but ig probably the exact amount of vitamin D she’s supposed to get) aboard the satellite

2) Cinder is wasian/more generally mixed raced and Channary looks so similar to Cinder that Kai sees a portrait of her and thinks for a moment that it is Cinder… but Levana is… white?

I guess the logical conclusion is that levana is also wasian, but I feel as tho that is not the authorial intent bc that is white woman behavior if I’ve ever seen it

the other logical conclusion and the one I personally subscribe to is that Cinder’s father had Asian heritage, but Channary and Levana were white and Cinder just… westernizes/whitewashes herself a little when she uses her glamour…??? Like… to match westernized beauty standards?

idk neither answer is particularly satisfying but I feel as tho the series is thematically stronger if the former lunar queens who want to do colonization, genocide, and imperialism are white women.

3) Dr. Erland should’ve absolutely infected Cinder and Thorne in that tunnel based on the absolutely unhinged and unrealistic but pre-established rules of letamosis

They were in very close quarters for at least an hour as he was entering stage 2 or 3 of the disease. They should’ve all been fucked. (Not to mention how closely Erland interacted with Thorne when they went to the labs)

4)… shouldn’t Dr Erland have had a perfectly good letumosis antidote on him (or at least on the Rampion) yk, from when he stole it from the palace and fled the country???

What happened to that huh? Did we just forget about her?

do you have any good tim fic recs? without him being massively woobified or fanonised

tim centric fics are not something i usually read (though that IS changing recently) BUT i do indeed have some recs that to me, personally, really encapsulate his character and i think about like all the time. a good tim drake fic can truly change the chemicals in your brain FOREVER.

woobified tim and i have personal beef with each other that will withstand all the generations to come, so i will not be touching him with a ten foot pole. do not fear.

TIM DRAKE CENTRIC FIC RECS ON AO3

Talk To Me by A_Canceled_Stamp

Bruce and Tim have a long-overdue heart-to-heart

MY NOTES: ohhh just the bruce and tim fic ever to exit. i reread this often when i just need a little comfort after things are rough, because it is so well written and i will never get over how sweet it is. happy tears in my eyes forever. bruce and tim is a dynamic that is so special.

lift this curse of bein' seventeen by arguablysomaya

When Tim first dreamed of becoming Robin, he’d been admiring Dick. When he became Red Robin, hurt and alone, he’d thought about the person Jason used to be. But after years of watching his older sister, Tim can’t help but reflect on how much he respects Cass and what she stands for.

As Batgirl, as Orphan, as Black Bat— as Cass, the woman that could face down pure evil and still sneak into Tim’s apartment to pull the laptop out of his hands and shove him into bed.

Or: In which Tim Drake gets a new name.

MY NOTES: oh my GOD. THE TIM DRAKE MOVES ON FROM ROBIN FIC EVER. i never once considered black bat tim but after reading this i genuinely have ascended to a new plain of tim drake understanding. not to mention wonderful tim and cass writing. i love their duo so much. (also!!! asian tim!!!)

by any other name would smell as sweet by misspickman

A dare and a couple of offhand comments set off a domino effect, sending Tim down one or two identity crises. Apparently everyone thinks it's time for him to do some self-reflection.

MY NOTES: i have said this so many times in these recs that it should be a given now to always expect a trans character fic as well. trans girl tim fic u are SO REAL. a friend recommended this to me and i read it all while standing up for a good half an hour unable to do anything else. changed my life forever. good lord

a soft place to land by unchosenone

Tim rubs the back of his head, trying to affect a joking tone. “I knew I should’ve just gone for the new escrima sticks.”

Dick is ready to be a good big brother to his grieving little bro. Tim flips the script.

MY NOTES: dick and tim are truly the brothers of all time i tear up just thinking about what they once had and everything they've lost. this fic is not about that though. this fic is about what a caring little brother tim is.

Check your mic by Lilac_hyacinth

“That wasn’t—” he stared at his bike’s display through fuzzy eyes. “I mean, Bernard’s not my—”

“It’s okay, Tim,” Steph said gently.

The comm felt like a knife in his ear.

“I’m not,” Tim said.

He didn’t know if he was saying "I’m not gay" or "I’m not okay," was pretty sure nobody else did either, and the next thing Tim knew, his comm was a crushed pile of plastic and tech in his clenched fist.

MY NOTES: first and foremost, if you are a fan of timber you NEED to check out this author. the best timber fics out there. this fic is especially special to me and i love the way the comfort was handled. seeing tim traverse through different parts of the queer experience will always be important to me.

[hero-israel]

Okay continuing what the other anon said about the bullshit ways people talk about Israeli women. I saw an anti-Zionist saying the lead-ups to the (they believed made up) rapes was the IDF saying “Look at our hot Zionist babes!” because Gal Gadot um. Exists with a career. And then said “Look at how the videos about the rape victims are girls dressed in party clothes! Clearly Zionists are posting about this with one hand!” First of all, Gal Gadot has never made being part of the IDF (in which she was a non-combatant btw) part of her career, nor has she ever been a sex symbol. And with the second one, the victims were at a fucking party. Anti-Zionists are literally at “Hmmm, was she dressed like a slut? The whore had it coming, she should’ve known better :/“ levels of rape denialism and misogyny. But the whole thing about “posting with one hand” is so clearly projection. They see the Israeli (Jewish) woman as some foreign, tantalizing, forbidden temptation that they want to express their sexual attraction to (despite the women doing nothing to provoke it besides being foreign) with either violence, mockery, or conversion. This is such an ancient form of intersectional oppression. There was a specific name for it regarding this archetype of sexy Jewish women who need to be converted, but I can’t remember the name (femme something or other). But what it is a part of, as a matter of fact, is Orientalism. So many Asian women get treated like this, including Arabs. Edward Said would have realized it applies to Jewish women this way if his brain didn’t shut down every time he was about to say anything that might give Israel a pinch of credibility.

The level of sexualized violence aimed at Jewish women is its own nightmare. All in all this whole business seemed like an upscaling of the 1929 Hebron Massacre and there wasn't even an Israel back then.

[moistmailman]

Can we all talk about those stupid things JK Rowling said about her books to get more attention?

One of them was that Dumbledore was gay, which is canon but obviously never planned out and obviously thrown in at the last moment to get people to talk about her last book before it came out.

There are others like Wizards shitting anywhere before teleporting said shit away using magic, or how Nagini used to be an Asian woman before being transformed into a snake, or how Hermione’s race never clarified in the book series despite it clearly did, or how the T in Voldemort name is silent.

What’s really funny is she claimed Nagini has always been an Asian woman and how she has been sitting on this fact for 20 years……

That is complete fucking bullshit. If that’s true then she’s a shit writer because there’s no way in hell she was planning on making the prequels at the very beginning.

She also said how Hermione should’ve married Harry instead of Ron despite her LITERALLY WRITING THESE FUCKING BOOKS!

[littlegreenfag]

It’s Thirteen Women Thursday, and I’ve got a treat for you— a nice long post about the movie, and what it could’ve been! (Okay, maybe this isn’t a treat for you— but it’s a treat for me, okay?)

You know what I love about Thirteen Women? The character of Ursula Georgi. You know what I don’t love about Thirteen Women? The fact that they cast a white woman to play her. (I mean, Myrna Loy is awesome, but come on. She’s as white as a swan.)

So, I made a list of a few Asian actresses that could’ve played Ursula instead!

First and foremost, we have the beautiful Anna May Wong! A lot of people consider her the first Chinese-American movie star, and she truly was a star. Her best role, by far, is Hui Fei in Shanghai Express— and that’s the role that reminded me most of Ursula. There’s a scene where she stabs her rapist, and I was just thinking “Oh, man! Ursula should’ve done that!” She’s absolutely got the range— she’d make a fantastic Ursula!

Secondly, we have Merle Oberon! She was a British movie star with an English father and a Sri Lankan mother. She played Cathy in an adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Now, it wasn’t very faithful to the book, but it’s still a fantastic movie!

Here’s Etta Lee, a Chinese actress born in Hawaii. While most of the roles she played were secondary characters, it would’ve been amazing to see her shine in a leading role!

Now, if Thirteen Women was made thirty years later, and it was a 1960s exploitation movie, Nancy Kwan would be a shoo-in for the role! She could play wonderfully funny characters, but she also played a lot of “bad girl” type roles. She’d make a perfect Ursula!

Snippet of my WIP x ls18

Lance Stroll x Original Female Character

Tags: slow burn through mutual pinning, he was a punk she did ballet, bad guy x good girl, angst here and there, he fell first and she fell harder, gateway car vibes

Notes: this is just a bit of what I’m been working on, still a very rough draft. Hopefully it’ll be on ao3 soon. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Please forgive any typos, English is not my first language

Lance was a terrible driver.

This was ironic, because at over 300 km/hour, wether under rain or into dark nights, he was pretty reasonable at it, overtaking equally fast cars and getting better at it each year. But on the urban streets and, on top of that, Asian desertic urban streets… he was terrible.

The cars moved painfully low, there were too many traffic lights, and he had to stop and get back going several times, despite not understanding a single word from the street signs and having to blindly rely on that cheap-ass GPS whose voice he grew a deep hate towards in the last 20 minutes.

After many missed entries, many more mistaken roundabouts, and, accidentally, almost hitting two trees and a half, he saw the Sakhir Circuit at the end of the street and let out a relieved breath.

He made a mental note to never again choose hookups on out-of-city hotels before practice Friday instead of the practical, comfortable, and heavenly placed paddock motorhomes.

When he finally made it to the circuit, Lance grinned like an idiot, happy as if he had won a race for having made it there without running over any poor civilian. He had just one more deadly obstacle to overcome: parking.

He had to put his rented Aston Martin safely in one of the stalls, in the middle of other luxury vehicles belonging to drivers and other paddock staff members. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy. He decided to do it once and for all before chickening out (and because if he thought too much about it he’d end up calling Rob for help again), so he targeted a free spot and sped right into it.

And, of course, another car would come at the exact same time, to the exact same space, and almost, almost crash into him. Damn it. He hit the brakes out of pure reflex, the other car doing the same just a second later than him, preventing them both from ruining two expensive and beautiful machines.

— What the hell… – he muttered under his breath, blinking, recovering from the shock.

He had sense, so he turned the vehicle off, opened the door, and stood up outside, sliding his sunglasses to his forehead, ready to apologize and receive the jokes about him not being able to park, when he saw who was in the other car’s direction…

— You – the young woman said in an accusatory tone, standing by the opened door of her car with a disappointed look and a fiercely accusatory posture – I should’ve guessed.

Lance had no choice but to bark out a laugh. Unbelievable.

He remembered her: angelic, royalty-like face, definitely had a boob job, British accent, a pain-in-the-ass attitude, etc. Esteban’s girlfriend’s friend or something. Why the hell was she in the staff parking stall? And with a mad-ass bright red Ferrari?

— Good morning, princess – he gestured a lazy greeting with one hand, resting his other elbow over the door – This is starting to get weird. Are you following me?

She seemed genuinely confused, a pout on her pinkish lips.

— Why would I do that?

— I don’t know – he shrugged – Maybe you’re lonely.

A scoff, followed by a humorless smile.

— My boyfriend would disagree. – she shot him a glare as if it intended to shut him off which, honestly, only made him smile wider. That insecure, uh?

— My condolences to the poor guy.

She rolled his eyes, an exasperated face. Under the sun, her golden hair shone just like a barbie in a Hollywood movie. For a second, Lance wondered if she maybe worked in Formula 1 to be there that day. Her classic demeanor maybe fit better as a celebrity guest in the Monaco GP, but Bahrain?

— You almost hit me and you’re insulting me? – she inquired, horrified, British accent thick and annoyingly posh.

— Quite the other way around, princess – he corrected, defensive – You almost hit me.

— What? I was coming slowly and you came out of nowhere at full speed! I had the blinkers on and everything.

— Really? – he deadpanned – Out of us two, who’s most likely to not drive very well?

She gasped and shutted the reaction down a second later, making Lance swallow a laugh. She got on the edge so easily.

— You know what? I’m taking this spot. Go park somewhere else!

He might have dwelled on that if she didn’t look so certain and didn’t get back in the car so quickly, leaving Lance to watch with a bemused expression.

She turned the car back on, and he could see her concentrated expression through the translucid window. Just because she was blocking the way, he waited and watched. Lance propped both forearms on his car’s door and enjoyed the live entertainment, as she went reverse and front about five times before actually placing the car in a good position to enter the parking spot. Then she stopped, opened the window, and asked him:

— Can you move your truck aside a bit? It’s blocking the passage

Jesus. Who let her with a freaking Ferrari Portofino?

— What’s the magic word? — he taunted.

Her shoulders slouched down with frustration.

— For God’s sake! Having you watching me makes me nervous.

He drew a smug grin.

— It’s a GP weekend, everyone is here to watch other people drive.

She put on a scowl as they reached a midpoint, and she was almost trying to park without him moving when another figure approached the empty stall, exasperated and hurried. Lance recognized him as Charles Leclerc's brother, the older one.

— Mate, why are you taking so long? – he called her out, naturally and empathetically, as if having her taking so long to do that was a recurrent activity – We’re all waiting to go the lounge.

— Hm… — she trailed off, suddenly at loss of words, watching as he approached the space between the two of them, noticing Lance.

— Oh, hey mate! – he offered his hand as a greeting, polite – All good?

It took Lance one second too much to react.

— Yeah – Lance greeted him, a bit confused about how familiar and automatically he was addressing… her. He didn’t even know her name. – What’s up?

— All good. See you’ve met Kennedy.

Kennedy. The name replayed in his mind as he nodded.

— Uh. Yeah.

— My sister-in-law. — he offered happily

He had to shut his mouth to prevent his chin from dropping. Sister-in… well. Now it made sense. The Ferrari, the knowing Esteban, the being in the driver's parking stall. Okay. Okay, that made sense.

— You two are having a bit of trouble here, hm? – the older Leclerc looked at her, analyzing the situation

— Kind of – she, Kennedy, looked over to Lance with mischief in her eyes – He is as terrible as I am in this.

— Well, to be fair you and Charles are true birds of a feather when it comes to parking, am I right? But come on, Maman is waiting for you.

As if it was something regular, she got out of the car letting him, her brother-in-law, handle the situation. For a handful of seconds, she stood next to Lance. Waiting. He stayed in silence, his mind running over 300 km/h.

— Not that astute when I’m not alone, aren’t you? – she murmured, with her back turned to him, delicate, pale hands crossed behind her back.

Lance wasn’t sure what pastured him the most: the posh accent in the way she said ‘astute’, the very raw and new challenging tone she displayed out of a sudden, or the way she shook the skirt of her flowered dress carefree and went to follow eldest-Leclerc to the sidewalk so unbothered. Not even giving a chance for him to reply. Suddenly she was in a hurry, then?

— Have a good race! – it was the guy who looked back to say goodbye to him.

[ballet-symphonie]

I’m pretty sure there’s nepotism and other shit going on at New York City Ballet, and I’ve stopped following them:

-there’s children and grandchildren of former dancers who got into the company. Roman Mejia is Paul Mejia’s son, Shelby Mann is the granddaughter of Jacques d’Amboise and the daughter of Charlotte d’Amboise and Terrence Mann (Broadway legends!) it makes me suspicious. I mean, Nilas Martins was in the company too, so I’m not surprised nepotism is still going on with the younger dancers.

-apparently there was/is body shaming? even at SAB I’ve heard rumors of kids having eating disorders. Also not surprising considering that the people who worked with Balanchine wanted a look and it was Balanchine himself who started the “skinny ballerina” trend that quickly spread worldwide. Ashley Bouder spoke up about how the higher ups body shamed her on Instagram live like a year ago, and none/few of the company members commented for support. They just posted it on their story. In general, Balanchine companies/schools tend to have a lot of body shaming, especially with how they treated Kathryn Morgan at Miami CB. CPYB (Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet) has a bunch of horror stories on Instagram account called @/cpybstories if anyone wants to read.

-I don’t know if this is really BS, but they still cast roles based on height/size rather than talent. I was hoping for Tiler Peck to do Diamonds but she got Rubies. Same with Midsummer, she didn’t/doesn’t really get Titania because she’s on the shorter side and from what I’ve heard, NYCB likes their Titanias to be tall. (I’m guessing she probably will never get Titania, just because she lacks emotion in her dancing. Saw her in Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker and she barely acts.)

-the company is still predominantly white. Even PNB is more diverse than them. The BIPOC dancers like Nadon, Mejia, Furlan, Chan etc are only popular just because they fit Eurocentric views of POC (they have lighter skin and straighter hair) plus Nadon is only half South Asian, Mejia is half Peruvian, so they aren’t full blooded POC. The only POC in recent years that didn’t fit those ideals was Amar Ramasar. The kids who appear on stage for Nutcracker, Midsummer, Sleeping Beauty etc are more diverse than the actual company members.

-They didn’t handle Alexandra Waterbury’s case well. Ramasar should’ve been fired and in prison before the pandemic and from the West Side Story revival (that didn’t do well regardless). It also makes me mad that Alexa Malone (soloist) is still dating him and the fact that he’s now a stager too…like he might mess around with the underaged apprentices/corps and the cycle will start again

-Don’t get me started on people like John Clifford and how he wrote public, sexist comments on how he hates crotch shots because of platter tutus. He and a bunch of other older trust people still defend these beliefs to the death.

Hello, there's a lot in here!

Regarding nepotism, the company definitely has a history of hiring both siblings and relatives. I would extend this to ballet in general, many successful dancers today are from dance families, such as Chloe Misseldine, Daniil Simkin, Maia Makhatelli, Vadim Muntigirov, Dmitri Smilevsky, Issac Hernandez etc. But I don't think that inherently means that the dancers benefiting from that knowledge base (knowing what to do, where to train, how to structure their day, exta tips and coaching etc) are undeserving of there spots. I don't think you can watch Meija dance and think he doesn't deserve to be where he is.

On body shaming. Yes, none of this is positive and none of it is news either. There has been a history of toxic body shaming culture at nearly every major ballet school worldwide. Balanchine companies have had a nasty history but so have numerous Russian, European, and Asian schools. It's not a problem exclusive to SAB/NYCB.

Yes, NYCB typecasts. I'm honestly quite a fan of it because I don't think it's realistic or responsible to expect every dancer to do everything well and it results in dancers on stage in roles that they're confident in and suit their strengths- which generally leads to better performances. I don't think there's a single dancer at City Ballet who has done all three leading roles in Jewels, Peck is not an exception. I don't believe it's height/size over talent, but a complementary mix of both. Some roles have been designated by the choreographer for X skills and others have been historically dominated by dancers with X skills. And like you mention, there are lots of other factors affecting casting besides just height, acting, vulnerability, partnership, and logistics, which all play a role.

I'm not sure I agree with you that the dancers you mentioned get attention because they are POC who fit Eurocentric standards. Chan and Nadon rightfully got attention for breaking barriers and becoming the first Asian principals at the company. Both have spoken at length aobut how their cultural background and upbringing has both helped and hindered their path. I'd argue Meija gets far more attention from his father than he does from his race and Furlan (if we're considering him popular which I probably wouldn't) for his technical merit. I also think you aren't looking at NYCB's soloist rank fairly, they have Black, Asian, and Hispanic dancers at this rank. Of course, the company certainly could be more diverse but they have the self-imposed limitation of hiring nearly exclusively out of SAB. You yourself noted that the school is more diverse, this is a result of several of their scholarship and outreach programs that have been implemented in the past decade or so. Those programs are long-term investments, they are building a more diverse company now - but these dancers are still in the school. And for what it's worth, PNB is not a low bar, it is by far the most diverse major company in the US and has made hiring decisions accordingly. Approximately 50% of the company is POC which is awesome- but this realistically isn't possible at NYCB because they're not going to be hiring from outside as frequently.

Of course, if not following NYCB would make you happier, then by all means do it. But if these issues are what's causing you distress, I don't think the solution is to simply follow other companies- many of these problems exist across the industy.

Regarding the Waterbury Case, I don't disagree with you but the law is complicated. I remeber reading the case when it came out and I think the main problem is that the case wasn't able to get to discovery because she didn't have enough facutal evidence. If that had happened, I imagine things would have looked a lot different. While I absolutley believe her, she was trying to fight too many battles at once, some of which weren't directly hers, and she didn't have hard concrete proof for most of it. Everything got muddled and I don't think she had the best council either. I don't have any doubt that there's so much more here that exists only in the memories of the individuals involved. But that doesn't count in front of a court - it's about what you can prove not what happened. And NYCB's liability is limited because she was neither an employee nor a student at the time of firing.

However, while I have no comment about his personal life, I agree with you about Ramasar's line of work. It's unfortunate and incredibly disappointing how the dance world regularly absolves men like Ramasar (he's not alone) and basically gifts them back their careers. I could list a whole troupe of men who've been given second chances they don't deserve. Winning in court is an uphill battle, especially when the prosecution is often not coming from a place of strength. I just hope that the slow but steady changes happening in the industry now will prevent history from repeating itself.

And Clifford....I don't have the energy to start with. There's a reason NYCB hasn't hired him back , he's not consistently teaching or running a company, and he's just running his mouth on IG.

the adultification of azula is actually so personal to me because she's so much like me it hurts!!! like!!! being told that i should've known better if i was so smart, and if i was really a child then why did i act so mature? if i acted like an adult then is it really anyone's fault if they hold me to adult standards? if i'm so smart then why didn't i know better? if i'm so logical then why didn't i think? she's just so me-coded sorry   specifically the adultification of woc and the struggles of being the golden child in an ethnic household (obviously my parents werent as shitty as ozai, but i found the debilitating perfectionism to be common among asian daughters (#model minority), it's just so personal to see the shit people told me, as a young asian girl, being repeated to azula. i see myself in her a lot, and idk. i get that this is somewhat of a shared experience, but as someone who's both asian and a similar age to azula in the show, it hits hard in a way that "gifted child experience" doesnt cover because she was me!! she is me. she could've been me. I could've been her. if she had my name, staring at her would be like staring at my reflection.   "if i'm so smart then why didn't i know better? if i'm so logical then why didn't i just think?"  "if she's so smart then why didn't she see through ozai's manipulation? if she's so logical then why didn't she defect like zuko did?"   anyways, wrote this in math class so it's not the most eloquent but yeah

Our Son

Austin Butler!Elvis Presley x Filipino!Reader

Summary: After a tender love-making in California, you got pregnant with Elvis' child. As soon as you go into labor, you were adamant to tell Elvis that he was not the father for his and your son's safety.

Words: 688

Rating: PG (13+) 

TW: Mild Angst

This is Part 1 of the Austin!Elvis x Filipino!Reader blurb. Part 2

Elvis comes in sweaty into the maternity ward, his secretary lying on the pristinely white bed while she cradles her son—their son—in her arms. There were nurses tending to the I.V drops on her arms; they looked like they were just cleaning up. As soon as they saw him enter, they had to remember that they were attending medical professionals, not some women who would stop and gape at the King of Rock ‘n Roll. The embodiment of lust personified. 

Yet they caught themselves doing just that. Only did they snap out of their amorous gazes when you had to clear your throat and gesture towards the unfinished work they have yet to do.

“Oh, lil mama, I—I came as soon as I heard. How are you—”

“The baby's fine, sir. I didn't expect my boss to personally come here to congratulate me.” You gave Elvis a stern look, your head tilting subtly to the attending nurses. Elvis tried his best to not let his disappointment show. With his years of acting, he knew he nailed it right.

“Can you excuse us, ladies? Gotta talk to my secretary here for her schedule. Confidential work, ‘ya see.” Elvis winked. The nurses giggled and batted their eyelashes at the man until they shuffled out one by one. Finally, with the door now locked and the both of you finally alone, Elvis practically ran besides you and kissed your forehead tenderly.

“Why didn't ya call me sooner? I would've come in a heartbeat.”

“You were having a concert. Besides, you being in the labor room would cause suspicion,” You replied whilst rocking the child in your arms, “my boss shouldn't be this concerned with a child that has an unknown father from a one night stand in Cali.”

“But he's our baby,” Elvis' voice cracked, his fingers ghosting over the blanket that wrapped around their son—his son. “I have every right to be in that labor room while you push our baby out.”

“My baby, Elvis. Not ours.” Your voice was strained, as if you were holding back the tears.

“What are you saying?” You looked down at your son. Your son, not his. There were no traces of your features on his face; he was all American to anyone who would lay their eyes on him. He was going to grow up handsome, you thought. Just as handsome as his father.

“You can't tell anyone he's your son. It would ruin your and this child's lives. From now on, he's going to be my child. He will have an unknown father from California; the result of a drunken one night stand. Do you understand?”

“But he's my child too.” He didn't mean to make it come out as forceful. But everything that you said was true—he just couldn't accept it.

You shook your head, “From this day on, he is not. Please understand, Elvis. It's for your career and for Enrique's safety.”

“Enrique," Elvis parroted, "his name is...Enrique?”

You let out a tiny smile. "Enrique Dallas. My…” you trailed off when you spoke, your eyes darting to the disheartened image of your secret lover, “...our sweet little boy.”

You gave him such a small sliver of that happiness, but he ate it up like a fool in love. Perhaps that was the case. He was, indeed, a fool in love. And as were you.

As much as you wanted to declare Elvis as Enrique’s father, you knew you couldn’t take the risk. A Southeast Asian immigrant—poor, colored, and had little to no right in the land of the so-called free. You and Elvis couldn’t even get married, not with the laws that were implemented to separate folks like you from the Americans.

"...How I wish I could give him my family name," Elvis leaned in and kissed his forehead tenderly, "Enrique Dallas Presley; that should've been your name."

“And he should’ve been our son,” you felt a lump on your throat as you said that, but you swallowed it whole; there was no time to back down from this decision, “but we can’t have that, can we, sir?”

Caleb McLaughlin Jonathan Daviss and Ashley Park Nick Mohamed Toheeb Jimoh Anna Diop Charithra Chandran Nicola Coughlan robbed actually so hard too! They didn’t deliver those epic performances in their shows and be the main slayers of the season to be this robbed and don’t even get me started on Will and Anthony from Barry and Dopesick so sick of this!!

Asa Butterfield Freddie Highmore Lee Yoo Mi and tbh so many others robbed but I get it’s not enough space for all of them who deserve just glad some of the truly deserved people are on here for a chance unlike the 💯 other times before when it was just popularity ranking

You know, I know that she was dubbed over (by Sally Cahill, og Ada Wong) because her (Li BingBing’s) accent was “too strong.”

But she sounds really good here. People need to realize that she had to learn English and she sounds really amazing all things considered. It’s kind of a shame that she was dubbed over. I can understand that there were some parts of words that seemed off, and it was clear that she was not a native english speaker. And most people would be able to tell that she can not speak english fully. Although Li BingBing nailed the look of Ada Wong, I can see that maybe they could’ve casted someone else just as good who was also a native english speaker.

I think she still did really well considering the fact that she had to learn English. And a lot of her sentences come off very naturally. But i can completely hear the parts where she struggles. She still has to think in (mandarin) and then translate it into english and then say it with the right accent.

I guess the idea of Ada Wong being “properly” represented by also an Asian voice actress was always a point that we needed to get to eventually. 

Lily Gao isn’t a “diversity hire,” in the way that people think that it is. 

This is representation. This is a female character who has ALWAYS been portrayed as asian and was always casted by white women. Going so far as to have her face modelled after white women as well.

when you are speaking from a white person’s perspective (and living in a predominantly white area), you will NEVER understand what it’s like to grow up knowing that you are different and look different and sound different. 

As an asian woman myself, it’s so disheartening to see that the smallest amount of representation in resident evil (considering that Jill Valentine is entirely white washed at this point) is SUCH A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW FOR SOME PEOPLE. like GOD FORBID we have Ada, an asian woman, FINALLY be voiced by an asian woman. AND DON’T BE A FUCKING DUNCE. we KNOW that she’s voiced by a japanese woman for the japanese version etc. chinese for the chinese version etc. get out of my face with the whataboutism

We’re talking about the english version of the game which has systematically always erased a part of Ada’s asian background. Either by having her be voiced by a white woman, or a having her face modelled after a white woman.

Now we’re not shaming these women at all. I love a lot of the actresses who have portrayed Ada. They all did splendid jobs and have varying degrees of fans for each one. Some love Sally, some love Courtenay, some love Lily, some love Jolene. I’m not the hugest fan of Sally’s campiness but I’ve grown to love it. Courtenay was so smooth and sexy, but sometimes even too sexy for sentences that should’ve been normal sounding imo. Lily was cold (which makes sense for her character) but so expressive at times. Jolene had a rasp that I wasn’t a fan of, but her scenes with Leon were so tender and sweet. That’s all fine and good. We’re free to have our opinions about that

THIS WAS A HUGE RANT ABOUT REPRESENTATION AND ADA LOL SORRY

good things about Bug Out:

- Hawkeye nervous about performing a delicate proceedure he’s never been trained in and snapping at people, always one of my favourite things

- Hawkeye freely and emphatically telling Margaret he’s terrified when she points out he’s not acting scared

- uhhhhh Hawkeye’s parasol

bad things about Bug Out:

- it’s a bad episode bront

- Potter

- “This is the US army, if we want land, we don’t buy it we take it!” with 0 condemnation from the narrative.

- the military march version of the theme complete with asian stereotype riff

- WHY does Margaret stay with Hawkeye, and why does Hawkeye only offer one token protest????????? she is useless here.

- even more emphatic WHY DOES RADAR STAY???? Hawkeye doesn’t even say a word, he’s just like ‘k cool’ when Radar says he’s staying too, wtf lol. He should be picking him up and throwing him into the nearest truck, not buying him a drink at Rosie’s. it’s so arbitrary and stupid, clearly a nonsensical plot contrivance for the sake of like, padding the 2 parter out with the bar scene

- Potter makes Klinger give up all his dresses, no reimbursement or anything, and then it turns out to be pointless in the next scene anyway

- bad attempted dramatic references to wartime rape esp when we got Rainbow Bridge to compare it to. Rainbow Bridge is good because it’s a brief acknowledgement of harsh reality that’s accepted as a risk. Hawkeye makes a quick joke that I’m fine with bc it serves as an ic expression of nervousness, then we move on. In Bug Out Margaret brings it up in a serious enough way suitable for the tone, but Hawkeye dismisses her concern for some reason, telling her “there’s no reason to be afraid,” before the conversation shifts away onto him. Then the more slapstick-y panic at the end (like this scene features Radar trying to hide behind a pole, c’mon) includes Margaret screaming about being ravaged ft a dismissive Hawkeye joke (”tell them you’re with me”), and later exaggerating the danger they were in to Frank. And it also bugs me that Margaret specifies “female prisoners” when Rainbow Bridge acknowledged male rape. It’s like it’s trying to be a serious moment to draw attention to the danger of the situation, and then falls flat on its face.

- the overall plot doesn’t really make sense? is it just a coincidence that a bug out drill turned into a bug out rumour that was denied and then turned into a real bug out? considering they bug out like twice over the course of the show that seems pretty improbable lol.

- honestly I find the humour in this episode mostly bad. more racist jokes than usual, a few homophobic moments (Potter calling some singer a sissy, BJ’s “I’m staying with you but don’t get me wrong” no homo, everyone calling Frank Alice), and an offputting tone that doesn’t successfully balance its humour and its drama imo (see that paragraph about rape up there for an example)

- oh also why tf does Klinger immediately tell Frank about the bug out thing, without even mentioning the fact that it’s just a drill? I get that Klinger can’t keep a secret, that’s a fairly consistent thing, but why immediately go to Frank and Margaret of all people? Did he intentionally want the camp in an uproar? Why, if so? If it’s a prank we should’ve had a scene where he laughs about it, but nope.

- Hawkeye parking the car to wax poetic about the MASH good lord. serves you right that it stalled out. I don’t necessarily think it’s that ooc since it wasn’t positive, just ‘we spent a lot of time here, lots of ppl died here, hmm’ but i do think it’s dumb as shit and I don’t think Hawkeye lacks that much self-preservation

- no good gay jokes either :/ literally the best we got is Hawkeye saying, “You finally realized I have a beautiful body” after Margaret says she’s staying, which is the mildest of feminizing jokes.

It’s funny honestly, I remembered disliking this episode for Potter and the pro-military flavour and the lack of decent gay jokes, but upon rewatching there are so many more aspects to hate in addition to that

#mash #marley on mash #mash s5 #i needed to complain lol #it's bad in comparison to most of mash tbf it's still a decently entertaining episode of television that's mostly ic #but boy it's one of my least faves and it's in such a bad position - ushering in a new showrunner like oof #i mean i think of season 5 fondly with this as somewhat of an egregious anomaly but still

Thoughts I had during TGCF S1 Ep 1

Note: I have just seen all 12 episodes of Season 1, and I’m watching the entire donghua in English. Now here we go!

-Is that a Jiao? (The red palanquin the servants are carrying the woman in)

-Welp, it sure got gorey fast, and the Jiao has been dropped.

-That Origami Crane has seen better days, and it doesn’t even have eyes!

-Don’t go out there… don’t go out there… don’t go out there… don’t go out there… *Bride gets snatched* Okay, maybe you should’ve gone out there.

-An intense first start to a really interesting Donghua!

-Now I know not to skip the opening song this rewatch~!

-It’s an actual live Crane!

-It’s Laputa from Castle In the Sky (So need to actually finish that movie)

-It’s that town background from Genshin Impact (I literally know nothing about that game, and I’m not interested in playing it)

-It’s that bright light column from Legend of Korra (I haven’t seen the full series and I also don’t plan to watch it, Die Hard Last Airbender fan here)

-That was good animation, and the person running towards that light beam inspired a scene I’m writing my TGCF OCs Hong Hai and Qing Tao are running towards it to see who just ascended.

-Right after XL ascends, Hong Hai and Qing Tao then go, “Huh, Who is that?”  Then everybody yells at them, “PRINCE XIE LIAN!”

KOI FISH!

-Why didn’t they have the “Most likely to be cast out of Heaven reward” in my High School Yearbook, heck I could’ve gotten nominated that easy…

-I wasn’t kidding when I said Xie Lian’s English voice was like butter melting on warm fluffy flapjacks!

-Ling Wen is a savage!!!  She might the Chinese Equivalent of Athena or Themis.

-He has a fanclub?!?!?!  (I might be one of the members)

-The Official’s Okay!!! And a badass!

-So much property damage…

-Yeah it kind of is, (Hehehehehe Last airbender quote)

-They are using Yuan as currency right?

-Not like the Matrix movie right?

-That’s Lucien Dodge

-Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

-Really?  He got banished over a tea break?!

-Woah they’re all just harsh on his return to heaven

-Those translucent viewing cloths…

-Is ‘mana’ how they say ‘qi’ in the Dub?

-Magic Sleeves of Holding!  count: 1

-Aw he thanked her!

-He said his famous line people “And may all taboos be shattered…”

-It’s the Jasmine Dragon Tea shop from The Last Airbender

-And ‘Hear no Evil’ to complete the iconic Monkey Trio!

-Awww it didn’t land on his finger like in Book 1 (Oh yeah, I’m reading the first two books I purchased JSYK)

-She has him on Speed Dial (DCAU Justice League reference)

-I love how they both looked really pissed off at him, yeah XL it’s totally the latter option.

-And then she hangs up on him

-Green tea!  (I hope it’s Jasmine)

-Hahahahaha he spat out his tea! XD

-Fu Yao, *Is sarcastic and rolls his eyes* Basically me: He’s just like me fr!

-Oh and they’re staring daggers at each other!

-FIGHT!  FIGHT!  FIGHT!

-Xie Lian’s such a peacemaker!

-The fact they responded in sync

-That explains the intense cold opening

-That mission briefing took the whole afternoon?

-See what did I say?  Ghostbusters!

-Those people in the wedding procession do not look professional at all

-Hey I’m half Asian with freckles, and I think I look awesome so I’m taking full offense at your insult!

-I think it’s an unwritten rule that Alejandro Saab is typecast as a self serving asshole I’ve seen it in Nomad of Nowhere

-Wow brutal Fu Yao

-Well I honestly hope he dies

-He ripped her skirt, freaking bastard!

-How is he doing that without mana????

-Yeah beat his ass!

-Thanks Nan Feng!

-Yeah you better run

-No!  Not the Tea shop!

-Aand he got slapped W H E E Z E!

-An abacus!

-The tea shop got fixed!

-Well Fu Yao ain’t wrong

-Hehehehehehe Dick joke XD

-Fu Yao’s giggle!

-“Go sweep the floors!” “What was that?” OOOOOHHHH!

-Don’t give him Cinderella’s chores Nan Feng!

-OOOHHHHH!

-FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

-That poor poor altar!

-Not only is it dirty but you’d be disrespecting the god it was offered to SMH

-Wow diplomacy really does solve everything

-He’s got her on Speed Dial too

-The fact that they stared at him together! XD

-Sees Bride!XL: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m Sorry XD!

-Honestly, Fu Yao, VALID.

-She fixed her skirt.

-Yeah right a few alterations, she totally fixed his make up calling it.

-Oh so now you’re smart enough to know Proverbs SMH again

-U said it Fu Yao,

-*Sees Bridesmaids NF and FY like* W H E E E Z E XD XD XD XD

-Is he smiling?  I can’t really tell in the animation.

-I can see why this episode literally came out on Halloween

-The Jiao got dropped again!

-So basically ancient Chinese zombies

-So that’s how he was able to last longer than the previous bride

-That Owl again

-There’s that butterfly

-Well there’s his groom (Not the Ghost groom obviously that’s for sure)

-Oooooohhhh! Backstory!

-Pass me the Aux cord!  You better not be playing mainstream garbage! *Turns on One Flower and One Sword and vibes like there’s no tomorrow*!

-My favorite song out of the Season 1 soundtrack!

-He’s out of the Jiao and in strong arms!

-Yep that’s totally gonna be important later

-Oh that’s how he was able to confront that bald jerk at the tea shop!

-That battle animation is so freaking fluid!  *Chef’s Kiss*

-There go the wolves

-That looks really bad, and it explains his bad reputation in heaven

-Aiaigasa!  AIAIGASA people!!!! *Fangirls like there’s no tomorrow!*

-It’s the same umbrella!

-I knew that kid was gonna be important, called it~

-I now pronounce you both husband and husband!  You may now kiss the gro- I mean, bride!  

-Don’t mind me, just gonna go jam to the rest of the ending!

Continued from HERE ( @slightlyconceited ) Slightly froze as Mei called him for not knowing how to eat with chopsticks—feeling as if he’d been found out, when in reality it was really obvious to anyone with working eyes that he was struggling with the utensils. He had been hoping she wasn’t paying close enough attention to him to notice, but clearly that had failed. This was just great. “Yeah, no,” he answered, handling the chopsticks back to her with a sheepish shrug. “I grew up in an orphanage,” he reminded her, trying to ease the embarrassment of being caught lacking by explaining the skill issue away as due to circumstances outside of his control. While he had grown up in an orphanage, and then on the streets for a few years before being adopted by the Darlings, it had been years since those days and he’d had time to learn—if only he had thought of it. How come he had never expected this to be something he would need to know? “I can play Chopsticks on the piano,” he offered brightly. He could play much more complicated numbers on the piano; why was he trying to impress with that one?

Well now she felt like a total idiot for not noticing sooner. Granted, she wasn’t exactly thinking clearly when she handed him the chopsticks in the first place, and even then could she be blamed for not thinking about whether Slightly knew how to eat with them or not? Mei didn’t want to assume that he didn’t know, and yet because she hadn't bother to ask if he did, she caused them to fall into what can now be deemed as an awkward moment between them. “That makes sense.” She replied, accepting back the chopsticks. Not completely, as there were easy opportunities for him to learn how such as getting Chinese takeout or going into some sushi place as chopsticks are typically handed out, but it wasn’t as if forks, knives, and spoons weren’t offered as an alternative, and so she can still understand how he wouldn’t felt the need to learn. It then hit Mei that by Slightly reminding her of how he grew up in an orphanage, it made her wonder if he thought the reason she assumed he knew how to eat with chopsticks was because he was asian like her. “I’m sorry!” She quickly apologized. “I didn’t mean to assume. I wasn’t thinking when I handed them to you— not because I thought you should’ve already know how, but genuinely because I wasn’t actually thinking when I did so. But if you want, I can teach you how to eat with them! But it’s also completely okay if you don’t want to learn how!"
