#this isn't a 'you shouldn't leave' argument btw

[zillychu]

I've seen a couple people saying they're jumping ship for [other big socmed] after the AI announcement here, but like. Guys. Friends. You do realize all the other sites have been silently working with big AI companies for a while now. Bluesky has not implemented any acknowledgement or protection, and the CEO worked with crypto for years. They're just not broadcasting it or giving you an option to help remove your work from automatic scraping. Cohost has implemented similar levels of prevention compared to Tumblr.

I greatly prefer the transparency and the tiny bit of protection, no matter how flimsy. Tumblr is pretty awful, but it's still better than everything else so far. Which sucks but until we burn down the plutocracy, this isn't gonna be escapable.

(Also, no Tumblr did not quietly sneak this in. They literally announced it before implementing.)

And my thoughts on the CEO being... himself.

#Tumblr #zilly squeaks #i wish Pillowfort wasn't so riddled with bugs #actually i wish Tumblr + Twitter got ethical CEOs with working brains #this isn't a 'you shouldn't leave' argument btw #just my personal feelings on it. including the worry that someone may jump from the frying pan into a fire bc Tumblr isn't perfect

Okay guys, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I don't want to stir up drama and this is not why I write this, but I really, really need to get this off of my chest.

Yes, we are back discussing ace/demi headcanons for Astarion.

First thing first: people are allowed to headcanon whatever character they want as whatever the hell they want.

I read a post on here basically saying that Astarion should be the last character to be headcanoned as ace/demi because he is a character who is "reclaiming his own sexuality" - yes, and? Demi or ace people don't do that? Are they somehow exempted from any type of trauma regarding sex? Are we really making these arguments?

My favorite part though ought to be the one about Wyll being the most suited for these headcanons because he prefers "dancing over sex and waits for the marriage to have sex".

Huh.

So glad this is how asexuality is perceived, thanks.

What the heck does having sex after marriage have to do with being ace/demi? Can someone explain it to me?

Look, Wyll is an amazing character with lots of positive characteristics, but he is not an alternative to Astarion and shouldn't be treated that way.

Do you really want to know why lots of people headcanon Astarion as demi/ace? Because he resonates more with them. Simple as that. Not because he is white and Wyll is not, not because of some inherent form of hate or bigotry. He just resonates more.

And do you know why?

BECAUSE PEOPLE UNDER THE ACE SPECTRUM CAN BE VICTIMS OF ABUSE AS WELL.

Because we too wrestle with claiming our own sexuality, because we too experience being oversexualized against our desires.

On top of that, being ace doesn't mean being chaste, a virgin, or someone that necessarily will wait until after marriage to have sex!

You can be ace and embrace your sensuality, you can be ace and love to wear slutty outfits because fuck yes, it's my body and I do whatever the hell I want with it.

Do you know which other incredible sex icons other than Astarion are headcanoned as ace? Freakin' Jessica Rabbit and Barbie (from the 2023 film). You know, the most sexy characters ever. Because guess what? Ace people can be sexy too.

I'm sure the person who wrote the original post didn't have any ill intentions but damn, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't drag ace and demi into your comments.

This is also valid for trans headcanons btw, but I'll leave this whole topic to someone else who has more direct experience on it.

The point is: let people headcanon whatever the hell they want, there isn't a character "more suited", and there are plenty of reasons why people resonate more with a character over another.

Headcanons of Wyll as demi/ace are awesome,

Headcanons of Wyll as allo and very princely are awesome,

Headcanons of Wyll as trans are awesome,

Headcanons of Astarion as demi/ace are awesome,

Headcanons of Astarion as allo are awesome,

Headcanons of Astarion as trans are awesome.

Reconciliation in the Cold - Maried!Nozel Silva One Shot

Synopsis: Nozel and Y/N argue, Nozel tell his s/o mean things but at the end they reconcile and apologize

Pairing: Nozel Silva (Black Clover) x female! reader

Genre: Angst to Fluff/ SFW

TW: Nozel being mean (saying "I hate u"), argument, crying, emotionally intense, conflictual relationships, communication difficulties and relationship problems, reconciliation (idk if that's all ???)

WC: 416

A/N: I rlly dont like the end bruhhh (btw english isn't my first langage)

There was a palpable tension in the halls of the Silva mansion. Nozel and Y/N stood in the living room, their faces filled with annoyance and frustration. Sharp words filled the air, fueling the raging argument between them.

"Nozel, how can you say such things?" Y/N exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't understand… I thought you loved me."

Nozel crossed his arms, his gaze cold and distant. "I fail to see why you complain so much. You're always so timid and sensitive. I can't even express my frustrations without you bursting into tears."

Nozel's words struck a chord deep within Y/N, leaving her feeling deeply hurt. She always tried to appear strong in front of him, but his words had touched a sensitive nerve. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she felt misunderstood and rejected.

"If that's how you see me, then maybe… maybe we should take a step back," she whispered, her voice broken.

Nozel hesitated for a moment, his eyes meeting his s/o, filled with sadness and vulnerability. He realized the impact of his words and the pain he had inflicted on the person he loved most in the world.

"Y/N, I… I didn't mean that," he murmured softly, his voice tinged with remorse. "I'm sorry… I'm just… frustrated, and I don't know any other way to express it."

Nozel's sincere words touched Y/N, a glimmer of hope flickering in her broken heart. She knew Nozel struggled to show his emotions, but his admission of fault gave her hope for reconciliation.

"I understand that you have difficulty expressing your emotions, Nozel, but that doesn't mean you can hurt me without consequences," she replied, her voice trembling. "I want you to understand how much your words can affect others, especially me."

Nozel lowered his head, ashamed of his past actions. "You're right, Y/N. I shouldn't let my frustration dictate my words. I sincerely apologize."

Y/N approached him slowly, placing a hand on his arm. "I forgive you, Nozel, but I want us to work together to improve our communication. We are married, and that means being there for each other even in the difficult times."

Nozel looked up, determination shining in his eyes. "You're right, Y/N. I will be the best husband I can be. I promise to make an effort to open up more and show you how much you mean to me."

His s/o offered him a faint smile, feeling their hearts mend. They embraced each other tenderly, seeking comfort in each other's arms.

"I love you, princess" Nozel whispered against her hair. "And I'm sorry for ever doubting us."

Y/N buried her face in Nozel's chest, feeling her heart settle. "I love you too, Nozel. Promise me we'll always work through things together, no matter the challenges."

Nozel tightened his hold, whispering softly in her ear, "I promise, Y/N. I'll never hurt you again. We'll face every trial together."

In that moment of intimacy, Nozel and s/o realized that their love was stronger than their differences. They were ready to face the future hand in hand, proving that even the coldest of hearts could be warmed by the fires of genuine love.

A/N: I've already said it but I really hate the end, like it's so cringe bro... But hope u liked it

[Small Rant!]

(Hope this is alright!! Sorry for my ask being so long and all over the place, but I just had so much to say!)

I honestly might leave the fandom, I'm REALLY tempted to at this point. Because, I don't know how much more of this toxicity, the behavior of Envy and V stans (NOT ALL, BTW) and the Nuzi hatedom, I can take..especially knowing that Envy and V stans are doing the same thing they did back when episode 6 released, attacking and harassing Liam Vickers + sending death threats...it's absolutely disgusting and unacceptable and shouldn't be normalized, AT ALL. These individuals who are doing this aren't real fans of the show and don't care about it, they don't give a shit about the love, dedication and care that goes into Murder Drones or all the hard work that goes into the show. They only care about wether their ship becomes canon or not and if they don't get what they want, they start harassing and shitting on the crew behind the show, especially the creator (Liam) and say they don't wanna watch the show anymore and it just proves they were probably NEVER fans in the first place and only cared about shipping and that's just so damn sad, it's especially pathetic and childish how some of these fans act..

I've said it before and I'll say it once more, SHIPPING ISN'T EVERYTHING, STOP MAKING IT A BIG DEAL. There's so much more to love and appreciate about the Murder Drones and there's so much to love about the show and shipping shouldn't be something you should even go into and look forward to when getting into any piece of media, MD isn't even a romance show. I'm overall just so damn tired and sick of this fandom, like REALLY TIRED..it's just so damn draining and exhausting especially when the same arguments are used again and again. The fandom just sucks and I fear it'll only get worse and I really don't know if I can stay for much longer. (I'm seriously missing the pilot-era days when the fandom was small and not that bad) but even though the community isn't the best, I'm glad we have some respectful and caring individuals in the fanbase like you and others, I honestly don't think the fandom isn't as bad here as it is on both TikTok and Twitter, the MD fandom side of things on Tumblr is more tame compared to the other social medias I mentioned.

Overall, MD is such a comfort show for me and has had such a huge impact on me, it's seriously one of my favorite shows, I'm not even joking. I'm incredibly thankful and happy for it's existence and also thankful to Liam, GLITCH, the animators, the VA's and just the entire team as a whole for making such a great and wonderful show! It means so much to me and I'll never stop loving it despite it's ups and downs + the community not being the best at times, I'm truly thankful for this show and those I've met in the fandom. ❤️💞

Hey you Dorky goober

No need to apologise for the long rant. Generally I adore long rants so win win for both of us (if anyone does need to rant about something then I’ll totally be here for you, I know what it feels like to not rant about something but you really do)

With you thinking about leaving the fandom due to the toxicity honestly I would not blame you at all. I’m someone who’s comfort ship is Nuzi so just seeing any hate would make me think about it for the rest of the day

Usually what I do when I see any toxicity is just laugh at it, laugh at how stupid their take is. Recently I had a fight with this Lesslie person and all I did was laugh at how silly it was like bro was getting aggressive bc people preferred Nuzi

I’m trying not to dogpile on toxic V fans + Envy shippers cause I don’t want to seem too obsessive over drama but for some reason it always gets worse

There are toxic Nuzi shippers but there aren’t as many as toxic Envy shippers like never in my life have I seen an Envy shipper getting doxxed because they like Envy. For some reason it’s always the toxic Envy shippers that make this fandom miserable

I don’t think they even know that they’re toxic shippers and desperately need to leave the fandom, most of them are kids but that never excuses any actions that they do because it’s the internet, once you post something it’s there forever

Murder Drones has so much in store than just romance and I’m saying this as someone who mostly posts Nuzi related things although I really do want to post more about the lore and I even planned for a full post on the details (I was pretty busy so I didn’t complete that but it’s in the drafts lol)

Not only the lore but just Murder Drones in general, the romance is great but so is the show, just everything about this show is filled with so much love and you can tell just by all the silly things they put in the backgrounds and the writing by Liam

Like the N x Uzi scenes are just small scenes like they’re put in different places but it works because the show isn’t focused on romance. I do think people forget that the N x Uzi scenes are quite literally important for the plot as well, it’s not just there for fanservice. Liam knows what he’s doing and anyone that tells him otherwise can go fuck off honestly

There are bad people but there are also a lot of good people in this fandom, a lot that do appreciate Murder Drones for even continuing. Screw whatever those 13 year olds on Twitter say, they don’t know crap about respect

[sherlock-is-ace]

I have been thinking a lot about Aziraphale and the whole divorce thing, and every day that passes I get more convinced he did nothing wrong.

So, ok y'all, get ready for the meta post nobody asked for and nobody wants! Under the cut tho cause it's long af kdfjhgdfg

*EDIT: There's an edit in the body of this whole post btw (i marked it in red)

Let me preface this by saying I haven't watched the show in a bit, so idk how correct I'm being, but also... this is my own opinion and interpretation so there isn't really an objective way of seeing it... It's ok if you disagree, we're allowed to have different views, it's a show, it doesn't matter.

Now, the divorce. A painful plot point that left us all hurting, including Aziraphale and Crowley themselves. A clear case of miscommunication and misunderstanding, season 2 was honestly all about that. Crowley's "we're on our own side" argument, full of raw feeling and love was really framed to be like the correct option, but I genuinely don't think Aziraphale's side is the wrong one. There are no wrong sides, just two solutions to the same problem (and in my opinion, a more useful solution).

Throughout season 1, both Heaven and Hell shared a common goal: make Armageddon happen, have a war and win it. Other than the outcome of the war, the goal was the exact same. To be fair, most of season two Heaven and Hell also share a common goal: find Gabriel, and honestly... still fight and win the war. And as it was evident by their continue work towards that goal, they're not going to stop. And that's the problem that presents itself: how to stop the world from ending... again.

Here's where Crowley and Aziraphale have different views.

Crowley would rather leave. In season 1 he offeres to literally leave, abandon Earth and just hang with Aziraphale somewhere far away (sweet and romantic, and honestly a valid solution). In season 2 I'm not fully sure he meant leave leave, maybe fight but on their own together (as I said, I haven't rewatched the show recently, I won't claim I know what he meant). But still, leave their respective sides completely and stand outside them.

Aziraphale would rather fight. In season 1 he was still convinced Heaven's side in the whole Armageddon thing was the correct option. In season 2 I'm not so sure. Aziraphale wants to change Heaven. He has learned from Crowley's suggestion box idea and wants to fight to change Heaven itself. He will stop them from within.

They're both very valid solutions to the same problem. But neither of them can compromise. Crowley would simply not accept going to Heaven and change it from within, and Aziraphale simply cannot accept leaving this whole thing alone and maybe get the whole world exploded in the process. And both their points of view make perfect sense with their characters and their histories. Crowley can't trust Heaven's ability to change cause he tried this before, he suggested a suggestion box and that cost him his entire life, he fell because of it. Of course he can't see the point in Aziraphale's plan. And Aziraphale's connection to Earth and to its humans is deeper than Crowley's, in my opinion. EDIT* He can't sit and do nothing, or not do enough. Not to mention his devotion to Heaven still, be it because of trauma or actual faith, he can't sit quietly while Heaven behaves like that. He can't believe Heaven could behave like that, it shouldn't! Remember his shock in season 1 when he tried to convince Gabriel that there was no need for a war, and found out that the war was the plan. Heaven wanted the war. And now he has the perfect opportunity to put a stop to that, Heaven offered to have him back.

EDIT: actually, no, I don't think Aziraphale's connection to humanity is deeper. I think Aziraphale's personal benefit on Earth amongst humanity is greater than Crowley's.

So the divorce to me is just a simple plain old break up. They couldn't sacrifice their beliefs for each other, and they couldn't find a compromise. Which is valid. Sad, but valid. They also couldn't fully explain themselves and their positions on this. Maybe because there was no time, maybe because they both had already made the decision by the time they had their conversation. That's what makes it the most painful to me, they're both following the same goal: be together. Aziraphale just added an extra step: stop Heaven. Which in my opinion, it's a necessary step.

Which brings us to my second point. Some people have compared Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship to Gabriel and Beelzebub, but I don't think they are even remotely comparable, other than beign a demon-angel couple.

Some people argue that Aziraphale and Crowley could have gone off into the sunset together because neither Heaven or Hell really did much to the other traitors. (Shax threatened to send demons after Beelzebub but Hell is understaffed and she got bribed with being the next Duke of Hell). But I don't think Aziraphale and Crowley would be met with the same kindness.

Up until the point Gabriel said "nah" to Armageddon: The Sequel, he was still very much the same in Heaven, he was still the Archangel Gabriel. And up until the very end, when they ride off into the sunset, Beelzebub was very much The Duke of Hell. They kept following their duty. They were not a threat in the slightest. And even after Gabriel escaped and became Jim, and even after he found Beelzebub and chose them openly, he wasn't a threat. He doesn't care if Armageddon happens or not, he only wanted to stop it so he would be cast down to Hell and reunite with his love. That was his plan (it failed cause Heaven chose to demote him and wipe his mind but he didn't know that would happen).

Now, Aziraphale and Crowley on the other hand, are very much a threat to both Heaven and Hell. They don't want to just chill together, they want to stop Armageddon from happening because they love Earth. They have done it before. And it wasn't just a simple "stumbled through it all and kinda stopped Satan at the end". They planned it and fought Armageddon for years! (granted, they got the wrong child, so they didn't do much, but my point still stands lol). I don't think Heaven or Hell really care they want to be together, their problem is what they do when they're together... Not only are they incredibly powerful (namely when they perform miracles together), but they want to use their power, to thwart their plans, like they did before. Not only that, Aziraphle had done miracles for Hell, and Crowley has done miracles for Heaven. They're not just traitors because they're friends with the enemy, they're traitors because they keep doing the opposite of what they should (according to their respective head offices of course).

So I very much doubt they would have been left alone to do whatever they wanted. That's why I think Aziraphale's "let's go to Heaven and change it from within" is a more useful plan. It would assure that they could be together free of threat, free of persecution. They could stay together in the planet they love so much, and Earth would be safe as well.

That said, there are words that were said in that divorce that I'm not a fan of. So I'm not saying everything was perfect and they shouldn't have gotten upset. That's a ridiculous thing to say. I do know that Aziraphale's state of mind is still very "Heaven = Good Hell = Bad". Specially compared to Crowley's lived history, experiencing Heaven's wrath and even seeing what they were gonna do to Gabriel, Aziraphale doesn't know that, he didn't see it, he has more kind memories of Heaven than Crowley does. In fact, Crowley doesn't have any memories of Heaven at all I don't think. He supposedly knows Saraquel and Furfur when he was still an angel, but both times it was shown that Crowley doesn't remember them (he remembers his password tho, that's weird lol). So perhaps, Aziraphale has more memories of Crowley as an angel which made sense in his offer to go back to Heaven with him.

I'm very excited for season 3. I'm very excited to see if Aziraphale's plans work out or not. I'm very excited for Aziraphale to gain full awareness to what Heaven is now, to understand Crowley's point of view. And I'm very excited to see if Crowley's memories are as important a plot point as I think they're gonna be, and perhaps he gets a glimpse into Aziraphale's side of the story as well, and sees Heaven's potential (if it even has any). These are only speculations of course, because I don't know how season 3 is gonna go, and I don't know if changing Heaven for the better was actually Aziraphale's plan. He could just kill God and take over Heaven and destroy Earth for all I know lol But this is my interpretation, and how I see his intentions. It's easy to get caught in the love confession, and in David Tennant's incredible performance of it, voice crack and all. But I do think Aziraphale is onto something, and I know his choices have hurt him as much as Crowley. And I know Crowley's choices have also hurt both of them. Why can't they find a compromise, why do they have such fundamentally different ideas? It's painful, it truly is!

Hello can I please request a jungkook enemies to lovers fic with the prompts "go then! leave" "how mad would you be if i kissed you?

ours - jungkook x reader

genre: sliiiiight angst, fluff

pairing: enemies(?)roommate!jungkook x reader

a/n: i made them roommates cause i can, okay? i've got another enemies to lovers trope with this man 🤧 but hey why not? requests are open btw~!

"look at me, baby, i'm not annoying right?"

"for the last time, jeon, i'm not your baby!"

but you want to be. you're not telling the irritating prick though, he's got his ego fed daily anyway. you scrunch your nose at the smell of alcohol wafting from your roommate. he's leaning on you for support, his face buried in your hair. "your hair smells nice, you know that? i use it too, you know?" you look at the gleeful thief, realization written all across your features.

"that was you?!"

"is anyone else other than you and me living here?" jungkook gasps, his tipsy gaze on you.

"are you, oh my god, have you brought other people here?! into our space, i'm gonna cry now, i will." you look at the man infront of you, scolding you for "tainting" your place, saying it was a place only for you two and follows you to the kitchen, gulping down the cold glass of water you give him, failing to notice the puzzled look on your face.

"since when do you care if i bring someone home?" jungkook mimics your expression, eyebrows furrowed. "why would i not care, should be the actual question." you sigh and look at him, "this is my property as much it is yours, okay? i can bring whoever i want, jeon, just like how you do every other night." you walk past him, bumping into him purposely. he holds your wrist, pulling you back. "i haven't brought anyone in a while, we both know that." you do know that, you put it down to the numerous noise complaints you've gotten from your neighbors and you threatening to cut him out from the rent agreement. you weren't going to do anything close to that but it seemed to do the trick.

you pull your hand from him and shrug, "but you used to and that gives me enough reason to bring anyone i'd like." "i won't let that happen." you look at jungkook's sudden serious expression, unreadable eyes not helping with the fact that the conversation took a weird turn. "do you hear yourself? you sound ridiculous, how much exactly have you had to drink tonight?" jungkook scoffs and steps closer to you, "this isn't the alcohol speaking, baby, i've been sober for a while, you know that right?"

him calling you baby shouldn't get your mind hazy and get your heart fluttering. you try to push the thought out of your head, mouth opening to retaliate. you go on about how selfish he is, subjecting you to terrible ear torture. you scold him and complain about the undone dishes, stationery and books all over the place. he takes the impromptu speech you're giving him quietly, dark eyes boring into yours. when you're done, he pipes up, "its not like you're the best roommate there is, yeah? what about my missing clothes, hmm? my candles, my perfume even!" he lists all the things you've silently and knowingly stolen from him, voice getting louder.

"if i'm so terrible then, i'll leave! i don't want to stay with someone so infuriating!"

"go on! then leave!"

"fine, i will!"

"alright then!"

you note the sudden change in closeness, chests heaving and bodies almost touching. you look anywhere but jungkook, mind reeling from your pointless argument. you both know you can't leave, you have nowhere to go and rent is too-

"how mad would you be if i kissed you?"

"not that mad really, why?"

pillowy soft lips are on yours, his long fingers in your hair and a hand on the small of your back, pulling you impossibly closer. you smile into the kiss, arms looping around his neck. jungkook is the first to pull away, his forehead leaning on yours. "you stole my vanilla chapstick, jeon." "its our chapstick now," he smiles and kisses your nose, pulling you into a softer kiss, different from before, but still as passionate. his soft lips contrast the chill of his piercing, pulling back to give it a tiny kiss. jungkook smiles in content, head falling to your shoulder, placing a peck there.

"let's get to bed, baby."

"your bed?"

"our bed, darling."

Can I just like Taylor Swift without people either on the internet or irl being a dick?

⚠️ Minor tw for mentioned pedophilia, car crashes and home invasion. Also I talk about harassment (sexual and regular) and referenced slut shaming. And some swearing.

This is a really long (like 12 paragraphs) and pretty negative post btw, if you choose to read it then it's on you

"I'm existed to listen to Taylor's new album! I like this song!"

The internet: have you considered you're just a white supremacist? (I'm not joking I actually just saw a post calling swifties white supremacists)

Ffs let me like things, it doesn't affect you in any way. I like her as a person and I love her music. You don't have to.

You don't like Taylor's music? Don't listen to her. You think she's annoying? Okay, I clearly dont, stop trying to make me upset over something that doesn't affect you. Notice how I keep my mouth shut when you rant about basic singer boy #7? It's pretty easy.

There are so many things I don't like that other people do and unless someone actually asks my opinion I will shut my mouth and let them enjoy it because it's none of my business.

Once someone I know saw me listening to music (with headphones!) and asked if I was listening to Taylor Swift bc they knew I like her. I was so I was like "yeah I'm listening to __ by Taylor :)" and then suddenly I couldn't listen in peace because they spent the next 40 minutes bitching about her. In no point during this did I make them or even suggest getting them to listen with me. I was literally just doing my work while listening to a song a like.

And the argument that she is single-handedly destroying the environment? Really? Yeah she has a private jet which isn't good for the environment but if she took public transport do you realize how much harassment she'd get? Say she just goes in a car, so many people have intentionally caused car crashes when around celebrities in an attempt to meet them or hurt them. Several people have tried to break into her house obviously she wouldn't be safe in public transport.

Even without the safety hazard you'd see how fast it goes from "taylor is polluting the air!" to "taylor is causing traffic on purpose!" or "taylor wastes loads of petrol/energy in her car!" Because she literally can't leave her house without getting blamed for something. She goes to see her boyfriend play football? She's ruining football. She dates someone? Slut. She breaks up with someone? Player/whore.

It's none of your business what she does. She makes people happy and she didn't hurt anyone intentionally, what about that is so awful that you need to yell at any random person that likes her? Sure some people take being a swiftie too far but even then, most of the time you don't know their life and even if there isn't more to it, it's not an excuse to judge an entire fan base for the minority of problematic people.

Imagine if I said every single singer is a pedophile because I found two singers that actually are. Would that be fair? What if I said every man harasses people just because some men do? Would I get yelled at?

People need to stop taking "I like this" as an excuse to make someone feel bad. Stop looking for excuses to be a prick because most of the time if you stop looking for reasons to be mad, your life gets a lot happier.

At the end of the day if I like Taylor Swift then there's another thing that makes me happy. If you don't then you should just not listen to her and let the people that do enjoy themselves because your misery shouldn't hurt other people.

Sorry for the angry/sad and long post but holy fuck it feels so necessary at this point

#taylor swift #just accept you dont like it and move on #leave me alone #dont spread unnecessary hate #vent post #taylor swift music #sorry for being depressing #but like i need to say it in the hopes someone will see it and shut up #please stop #stop hating unfairly

UA's child soldiers

I forgot to put this on the other post, but it's fine because I don't have a joke here, I just want to talk about this:

YES! Yes Momo you're supposed to run! You're just teenagers for fuck's sake, you shouldn't be there in the first place.

Midnight made the right decision and told the kids to run.

Classes 1A and 1B aren't heroes, they're child soldiers. Just because they went to school and weren't isolated and trained by the government like Hawks was, doesn't make them that much different.

They were still brought here to fight a war. The adults, their teachers and mentors that they look up to, made the conscious decision to bring them here to fight a war.

I don't care that they placed them far back, they still brought kids to an active battlefield.

This isn't the first time btw, this keeps happening. During the Overhaul arc the heroes brought kids in the Shie Hassaikai raid too. Aizawa only told his students to back down if the league of villains shows up. But honestly that's very stupid of him. How did he expect this to go??

lov *shows up*:

aizawa: Oh wait a minute timeout! Ok kids, now as we said, you have to evacuate!

deku, uravity, froppy and red riot: yes mr aizawa!

deku, uravity, froppy and red riot *leave*:

aizawa: ok we're good now, you may continue the fight!!

obviously it doesn't work that way because that would be stupid, so the kids stayed and fought anyway!!

Same thing happens here. Adults made the irrational and moronic decision to bring kids to the fight telling them to stay back and not engage, while fully knowing that that's almost impossible because fights (especially of this massive scale) rarely go as planned, so the kids will most likely be forced to engage either way.

Also before anyone makes the "it's a shonen so the protagonists have to be there" argument..yes I know that. I'm asking for either this blatant exploitation of children to be addressed in the story or hori should find a better in universe excuse to force the protagonists to join the fight. In the first few arcs that's how it worked.

USJ and Forest training: the villains attack first so the kids have to defend themselves. (Don't have to think much for this one, it's the classic easy way out of having to find a better explanation. It's not bad, it works just fine. No need to fix it if it's not broken I say.)

Stain and Kamino: the kids go to join the fight on their own and that is seen as a reckless stupid decision. The adults reprimand them for putting themselves in danger. (works as great as the first explanation and is also a great way to mix things up a bit.)

So the heroes used to know this very important lesson apparently. But flash forward a couple of arcs later and suddenly the have some very conveniently selective amnesia! Now it's ok to drag literal children to their death by making them fight a war.

You wanna know why it's ok now while it wasn't before??

It's because they got their stupid licenses!!!

That's right! The adults only cared about this issue when it affected them. Now that the kids have a license, they're technically not their responsibility anymore. If they chose to fight it's their own decision. They're not being supervised anymore, they don't have to ask permission. So technically if they die during battle, legally the adults that put them in that position cannot be blamed.

And the worst part is that these kids got encouraged to get their licence earlier than average. The UA teachers already knew this specific group of kids had a tendency to make reckless decisions and starting/joining fights when it wasn't their place to do that..

and instead of teaching them to not do that, they pushed them to get legal certification early so they technically wouldn't be responsible if any of them died or got seriously injured!

ok I'm not saying that they did this on purpose....but if they didn't think of this when they were pushing their students to get their licence then that's awfully neglectful of them and they're bad teachers.

I don't know, seems pretty sus to me..

#mha #anti hero society #someone has probably talked about this before but i just wanted to get my thoughts out #mha season 6 #made some minor edits because i forgot kirishima was also a participant in the shie hassaikai raid #also the big three even though they're older they're still kids too #they should have been there either

Yes, yes, YES! AO3 is designed EXACTLY to protect people from “DISCOVERY!” Even the people you personally think are bad people! Even you! And if you think that a site that DOESN'T leave its users open to bashing, witch hunts, doxxing and harassment is a bad site, then it can only be assumed that YOU want to bash, witchhunt, doxx and harass people who don’t meet your moral standards. That is not a good thing! It is not!

And you are as free as the wind to criticize any fic you choose so long as a) you are not doing it in front of the author b) are not threatening the author and c) are not doxxing the author. Discord is a great place to do that! PRIVATELY. You are also free and encouraged to make any amount of helpful educational posts for the young and easily impressionable warning them of things that are not alright irl and what to do if you recognize yourself as a victim of one. How many such have you made lately?

And btw, anyone with any understanding of library studies will tell you that AO3's tagging system is a miracle and the envy of absolutely any such organization. There are plenty of such posts on tumblr! Look them up, maybe!

like i clearly and repeatedly explained in the post, "good archive" and "prevents users from discovering its contents" are mutually exclusive. this is the entire point of the post and ultimately irrelevant to whether or not i personally approve of the content. as i said repeatedly, assuming you could read and understand words, the problem is that a search system that CAN'T FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR or gives you almost entirely irrelevant results is a shitty search engine.

ao3 provides zero actual protection from doxxing or harrassment, it just has a shitty search engine. they didn't even let you block users until very recently. you might as well say my tumblr blog has incredible protection from witchhunts because the search bar can't filter tags.

a user who has trouble with a badly designed website isn't inherently Young and Stupid, you're just so up your own ass that you think memorizing 80 euphemisms for pedophilia makes you a supergenius. like i said explicitly in words, a library that incorrectly files or provides literally no relevant information on its contents is a bad library.

but yeah no "you can't criticize media publicly" is the kind of deranged take that would get you laughed out of town and pelted with tomatoes in any creative community except your social bubble. you being such a loser that people talking about how the romanticization of sexual assault can lead to its normalization in society, an extremely well documented phenomenon, makes your glass bones and paper skin shatter is firmly a "you" problem.

ultimately my post was making a utilitarian argument about whether or not ao3 is an effective archive. it's not. i have no problem with archives that store works by bad people that explicitly argue for awful things, and in fact i think they are vital to maintain for the reasons i stated. i just understand psychology and realize that if someone writes raceplay porn that the author should not be immune to criticism just because the archive itself is necessary.

but yes, i do think that some works should be restricted from, like, 6 year olds. some people, like elementary schoolers and you, don't have the mental capacity to understand cause and effect, so giving them propaganda for certain ideas when they don't yet have the ability to think critically can lead to them wholesale internalizing whatever they read.

and i do think that it is bad to write a book about how epic and good rape is. i think we should take that book and put it in a library so everyone can see that you think that and criticize you for it, and if that hurts your feelings you shouldn't have published it. i fully understand that authors can write books where characters espouse and even encourage ideas that the author does not hold, however it's thoroughly bad reading comprehension to assume that you can't ever read something and a) analyze what ideas the narrative itself supports while also b) when applicable, understanding that a book that endorses ideas and an author who endorses them irl are not correlation without causation.

also the 'if YOU think some people are bad that must mean YOU are the REAL bad person' is just such a stupid logical fallacy. some things are different from other things. lemonade is different from microplastics. gay sex is different from racism. the difference between me and you is that i know what i'm talking about and you're repeating bullshit slogans from people obsessed with a website that doesn't work very well.

in conclusion,

#answered #long post #but yeah. make no mistake i Am a mean pretentious entitled puriteen who thinks that rpf of teenagers is disgusting #it just wasnt the point of the post. the point of the post is that ao3's defense that 'this is just how archives work!!' falls flat

Genre : fluff (?) I'm not really sure

Tw : accusations of stealing pointed towards reader, manipulation if you squint

Pairing : Vox Akuma x reader

Characters : vox, you, vox's parents

Story : he believes me?

Info : this isn't modern btw it's another timeline

"You shouldn't even be here! Get out of my territory!" Vox huffed, his hands crossed tightly in front of his chest, annoyance written all over his face. You scoffed at him. "I'm your guest! You should be treating me nicely!" you shot back, a hint of laughter in your voice as you observed his irritated expression.

"Guest!? Ew! Why would I ever have you as a guest!?" Vox sneered, his bright yellow eyes glaring at you mockingly. "Hey! Watch your tongue! Your dad allowed me to stay here!" you pointed a finger at him, the tip lightly brushing his hair. He swatted your hand away immediately, a deep frown creasing his forehead.

"Ugh! You're so annoying!" Vox threw his hands in the air, displaying his frustration. You chuckled softly, sensing a small victory. "Says the person who is stupider than me!" you taunted, a mischievous smirk playing on your lips as you watched him grow even more irritated.

"Says the person who literally broke into my room!?" Vox scoffed, his expression full of disdain. "I did not!" you protested, placing your hands dramatically over your chest and gasping theatrically. Vox mimicked your movements, exaggerating them for effect. "Mehhh, I didn't!! Mehhh!!!" he mocked, sticking his tongue out at you.

He continued to make the sound every time you tried to defend yourself. "You! Ugh! I can't stand you!" With that, you stormed out of his room, slamming the door behind you, but not before tossing a piece of candy you found on the floor in his direction.

-----------------☆-----------------

"You know you're still very annoying, right?" You stood beside Vox, your left hand tucked into the pocket of your blazer while your right hand aimed a playful punch at his side. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," he replied, effortlessly blocking your punch with his hand as he gazed into the horizon, taking a deep breath.

"I wonder why we used to fight so much," he remarked, a hint of nostalgia coloring his voice as he recalled the countless arguments of their childhood. "Hey! You know well you started most of them!" you retorted, raising an eyebrow at him.

"No, I did not!" Vox gasped dramatically, a playful expression on his face. "Stop lying! Yes, you did!" you countered, shaking your head emphatically.

Vox looked at you, his expression betraying his disinterest. "Uh-huh, yeah, whatever you say, dude," he shrugged nonchalantly. "You—! You're always like this! This is why I can never have a peaceful conversation with you!" you exclaimed, crossing your arms and turning your face away from him.

"Yeah, yeah, sure," Vox shrugged once more, deliberately drawing out the 'e' to annoy you further. "Agh!" Your irritation escalated with each passing moment, but he only laughed in response. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it out!" you muttered, shaking your head in exasperation before finally getting up and leaving the room.

-----------------☆-----------------

"(Name), we know you tried to steal the ring. Just tell us where it is." Ms. Akuma's accusatory tone was sharp as she pointed a finger at you, her face twisted with anger. "But I-I didn't! I swear!" you stammered, struggling to find your words, feeling utterly defenceless.

Ms. Akuma sighed heavily, shaking her head in frustration. "We understand, (Name), your family is struggling financially, but we can't tolerate theft, especially not of that ring!" She attempted to coax a confession out of you, but you vehemently shook your head in denial.

"No! Yes, my family is in financial trouble, but I would never steal, let alone from you!" Your protestations fell on deaf ears as Ms. Akuma let out another exasperated sigh. "Take her, lock her up until she confesses." With those words, two men entered the room and began to forcibly remove you.

"I really didn't! I promise!" Tears welled up in your eyes, your words becoming increasingly jumbled and frantic as the gravity of the situation sank in.

-----------------✧-----------------

You found yourself locked in a room, a pane of glass dividing you from Vox's family on the other side. Vox's mother, her accusatory gaze fixed upon you, spoke up. "It's clear (Name) took it. No one was here yesterday except for (Name)." Her finger pointed directly at you, though you noticed a flicker of hesitation on Vox's face.

"I..." Vox started to speak, then abruptly cut himself off. "Nevermind," he muttered, his voice trailing off. Ms. Akuma scoffed, then turned to her child, gently tilting his chin to meet her gaze. "You know this is for the best, don't you, dear?" Her words hung heavily in the tense air, the room falling silent as Vox had no choice but to acknowledge her.

"... Yes, mother," Vox mumbled, his response tinged with uncertainty. Mr. Akuma, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stood up. "I don't think we should be doing this. What if it really wasn't (Name)?" His question prompted Ms. Akuma to stop in her tracks, slowly turning to face him.

"No, they can't be trusted!" Ms. Akuma retorted, her irritation evident in her voice. "Their family has been close with ours for years; I trust them," Mr. Akuma reasoned, attempting to placate his wife. "No," she stated firmly, refusing to budge. "Just because they've been nice to you all this time doesn't mean they won't try anything," she argued, completely disregarding the fact that she was speaking right in front of you.

"Look at your son. Even if he agrees, you do too, don't you?" Her voice, though not raised, sent your heart into overdrive. You were too terrified to glance at Vox. He's going to side with her, isn't he? He's always been intimidated by his parents... Vox hesitated, opening his mouth as if to speak but then closing it again. Finally, he shook his head.

"I believe (Name)."

[adoringhaikyuu]

Omg i love your you bring up divorce during an argument with them can you do more? But for Sakusa and Oikawa and anyone else of your choice? Thank you so much BTW i love your writing and formatting style so much it’s so good

YOU BRING UP DIVORCE DURING AN ARGUMENT WITH THEM | 2

CHARACTERS: husband!oikawa + sakusa + (gn!reader)

WARNINGS: kinda sad but that's it

NOTES: thank u sm ur so sweet i just took inspiration from all the other great writers on here <3 + my angst isn't rly all that but i hope this is ok !

PART ONE | PART TWO | PART THREE

oikawa:

oikawa was a lot more tense than usual

he was pushing himself hard and it wasn't only putting a toll on him but on you as well

you tried to tell him to calm down and take better care of himself but that only seemed to add fuel to the fire

it led to a big argument and you were both exhausted in every possible way

you just wanted him to listen to you, but he wasn't and you'd kind of had enough

your mouth spoke before your mind even processed the words

"if this is how it's going to be then why should we even be together, tooru."

he paused and looked at you with a mixture of emotions swirling in his irises, the anger dissipating, now replaced with hurt and disbelief. his voice was achingly small, "...what?"

you shook your head seemingly to yourself as you looked down, your eyes pooling with tears. "i just can't do this. i care about you too much and you don't even see what this is doing to me, to us."

he stepped closer to you hesitantly, shaking his head at your every word, finally pulling you into his arms when you let out a sob. "baby i'm so sorry. i––" he rested his cheek against your head and held you tight, feeling something inside him break when you clung onto him. "i just didn't want to be weak," he sniffled and the sound made you perk up, alert. "that's why i push myself so hard––i didn't even, i was so stupid to not realize how it affected you, how i hurt you."

he pulled away to look at you and brought a hand to your cheek, silently thanking the heavens when you leaned into his touch. "i promise i'll do better, i'm not just saying that. i need you, love. please don't leave me––"

you closed your eyes and shook your head, "i won't, i didn't mean to––" you blinked your eyes open again, "i was just hurting, i didn't mean that. i'm not going anywhere."

he let out a relieved laugh, though it sounded more like a sob. he pressed his forehead against yours, whispering in the small space between you. "i'm so sorry."

sakusa:

you and sakusa had both been having a stressful week tbh

you were both pretty irritable and though you knew it was because of work and just life––

it was getting tiring, you were both snippy with each other now and then

it felt endless

you were currently arguing about the laundry, it got out of hand

you were muttering things under your breath, not even really thinking

"if you're so annoyed all the time why don't we just get a divorce then––" your eyes widened as you looked up and you winced when sakusa flinched as if you'd hit him.

you stared at each other in silence for a moment before he spoke up. "you want to leave me?"

"no i––" you shook your head and stepped closer to him. "i didn't mean––i wasn't thinking omi i'm sorry it just slipped out."

he nodded but you could tell he wasn't really there. he looked down and back up at you. you noticed his arms twitch towards you and made the first move, stepping into his space, sighing when he wrapped his arms around you.

you breathed in his scent and held him tight. "i'm sorry baby i didn't mean it. i'm just," you took a deep breath. "exhausted."

he squeezed you in acknowledgement, "i'm sorry too...i haven't been the best husband this week, i shouldn't have taken my stress out on you."

you looked up at him and he held you close to make sure you don't pull away. "we're both to blame."

after a slight hesitation, he nodded too. his hand rubbed up and down your back, "do you want to take a bath with me? that way we can both calm down."

you smiled, "i'd love that." you leaned up for a kiss and he met you halfway. "and i love you." you looked at him earnestly and he gave you a small smile.

"i love you too."

[rosachaotic]

Remember when i said Talbott and Cereza werent over? Yeah.

I promised yall i would write a continuation of this. For those dont remember that happend, here

Anyways enjoy the fanfic!

Warning: none?? Its more just angst then fluff.(but sorry for my bad english and wording im not very good at writing and I wrote this on mobile)

It's been two months and few days since the big argument Talbott and Cereza had on the hospital wings.

This all happened because Cereza tried to do all the investigation and take down R by herself, but of course that plan failed and it backfired on her very badly. She fought the wizard in white and almost died because of it, losing her consciousness after he ran away, fortunately she was found by Moody who was searching for her after her twin brother said she went missing and was taken to the hospital wings.

She was scolded for it of course, and after that her friends went to visit her. All of her friends were worried for her, especially her twin brother Michael who jumped into her hugging her tight, crying, not realizing her whole body was in pain before he quickly let her go.

After a long chat with her friends and twin brother Talbott got in but he didn't look happy, he asked for everyone to leave him and Cereza alone because he wanted to talk to her, everyone left confused to what was going on.

Outside people could hear both Talbott and Cereza arguing with each other, Talbott was disappointed that Cereza lied to everyone including him about not having any information that could be useful for Circle ot Khanna and that she did is by herself he thought she was dead she could have died because of her reckless decision, Cereza tried to explain herself by saying she thought what she was doing was the right because she wanted to protect everyone which didn't make Talbott feel any less worse but the opposite. Both kept arguing with each other until Talbott storms out of hospital wings not looking at his friend's faces who were waiting outside, Penny tried to stop him but he just ignored her and walked away, once everyone back inside to the hospital they saw Cereza holding back her tears but she did a very job at it once everyone was inside and started crying.

----

Cereza rarely saw Talbott after what happened, she only saw him on the classes they shared but even then he didn't even talk to her, she decided to let it be not wanting to bother Talbott and she thought that this was the end of their relationship. This broke her alot, the happy girl that was always smiling and giggling all the time wasn't there anymore, not only she felt bad for what she did but she thought she lost one of the people she loved the most.

That was until Cereza got a letter in the morning, Andre gave it to her and said "It's from Talbott." She quickly opened the letter and read the paper that said:

"We need to talk. Meet me after dinner in the courtyard."

-Talbott

She thanked Andre for the letter who nodded and said "I hope everything works out for you guys." And left, Cereza also hoped that things would work out but she couldn't help but feel anxious about it. What did he want to talk about after dinner? Why did it have to wait?

"Does he want to end our relationship once and for all?" Cereza thought all day, Cereza knew how to be patient but this waiting was killing her.

During dinner she barely ate anything, Rowen(M!Rowan) was trying to make her eat something but she couldn't.

"You have to eat something, you can't sleep with an empty stomach." Said Rowen, worried for his best friend trying to make her eat. He knew about the letter, Cereza told him about it and he knew how nervous and anxious she was because of it.

"I can't, this wait is killing me.'' Cereza said anxiously.

She then looked around, noticing that Talbott wasn't at the ravenclaw table or at any table of the other houses.

"Did you see Talbott walk in?" Asked Cereza, still looking around, Rowen shook his head.

"No, I didn't, I don't think he is coming for dinner today." Rowen took a bite of his food as he said that.

"Why? Do you know about something??"

"No, no, but...Penny said she didn't see all day, he didn't go to any of his classes." Cereza felt her heart drop, this wasn't like him, he would NEVER miss any class, if there was something Talbott was proud of himself is that he was an excellent student.

"This isn't like him…" Whispered Cereza."I cant, i have to go."

"Wha- B-But dinner time isn't over yet!"

"I'm sorry Rowen, but I have to go."

"...Okay, good luck Cere!"

Cereza nodded and left the great hall running, she opened the big door to the corridor and rushed past the students to the courtyard.

As she got outside she looked around.

There he was, sitting on the tree trunk looking at the stars just like he would when he waited for her for their dates.. Cereza sighed with relief knowing that Talbott was okay...or was he?

She took a deep breath and walked toward him, stopping right before him.

"Hey…" Talbott jumped at hearing Cereza's voice, he was probably so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear her walk in.

"Oh, Sorry I didn't hear you coming in…" Said Talbott awkwardly.

"Its okay…"

"..."

"Penny said she didn't see you all day, you also didn't come for dinner as well."

"I felt sick all day and I wasn't hungry."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I hope you're better now."

Silence took over, the only sound they heard was the cold night wind, making things kinda awkward. Until Talbott coughed and said

"Sit here with me." He tapped right next to him, Cereza then climbed the tree trunk and sat right next to him.

Again, the awkward silence.

Cereza then looked at the sky, it was a pretty starry night, she could see some shooting stars.

" The night is beautiful tonight isn't it?" Asked Talbott, breaking the silence.

"Yeah. It is beautiful."

"It reminds me of when we used to have our dates here, you would make wishes for the shooting stars."

"Stupid wishes, I know." Cereza giggled at her own stupid self.

"I never thought they were stupid." Said Talbott.

"Even the one where I wished for a giant puffskein?"

Cereza shook her head smiling a little bit and she also noticed Talbott was smiling a little as well, she missed seeing him smile, but they weren't there to watch the stars.

"Hey, if that's your wish, who am i to judge?

"Talbott-"

"Yeah?"

"Listen, I-I know you said you wanted to talk to me in your letter, but I want to say something first." Said Cereza nervously, while staring at the floor.

"...Go ahead."

She took a deep breath and then looked at his warm striking hazel, who met her golden eyes. Then she finally said:

"...I'm sorry."

"...Wha-"

"I'm sorry for what I did, Talbott. It was very dumb of me try to all of that on my own and it was and it was insensitive and bad of me not to tell you guys the information I had about R."

"Cereza-"

"I should have trusted you all to defend yourselves without my help, I shouldn't have lied to you guys about not finding anything."

"Cereza listen-"

"I shouldn't have done that, I could have died and i didn't thought about how you, my family and the rest of our friends would feel about it if I died, you were right when you said things wouldn't get any better if I-"

"CEREZA!"

Cereza jumped at Talbott who raised his voice at her, he gripped her shoulders and made her look at him, his eyes staring at her but he didn't look angry he looked sad.

"Just...listen to me please."

Cereza nodded and whispered "sorry" and let him talk.

"Look...after what happened, i couldn't stop thinking about that night on hospital wings. That night kept playing in my head over and over every time I went to bed...I felt awful"

"Huh-"

"I felt awful, Cereza. After I calmed down I realized what I just did and how I shouldn't have talked to you that way, but it was too late, I was already at my dorm and I couldn't bring myself to come back."

"..."

"I was ashamed."

"Is that the reason why you were avoiding me?"

Talbott nodded, he took a deep breath as if was holding himself to not cry.

"I thought you hated me."

"..."

"So I avoided you and everyone else as well, it was painful."

"Tal I-"

"I should have thought of your feelings, how were you feeling that made you do all of that yourself."

"...You had all the rights to react the way you did, it was a stupid and dangerous decision that I made."

"But I still shouldn't have said those things to you."

"..."

"I let my emotions take over me, my heart dropped when I saw Moody carrying you to the hospital wings....blood all over you and you unconscious and i thought i lost you..."

"..."

"When i heard you were alive, I was so happy and relieved...but when i heard about why you did that when I heard Michael talking to Moody I...I dont know what came over me, i was angry and disappointed"

"...I know-"

"Not only on you, but mostly on myself"

"..W-why? Why were you angry at yourself??"

"Because I thought I failed you, I couldn't protect you, I couldn't be there for you."

"But it wasn't your fault-"

"Let me finish..."

"..."

"But that doesn't excuse what I did, i didnt think about what you were feeling, how you were feeling. Your feelings that made you do this and your feelings after it...I called you selfish but I was even more selfish…"

"Tal…"

Cereza's hand went to Talbott's cheek, who jumped at her touch but then rested his face on her hand holding her hand even more close to his face. He closed his eyes while he felt her warmth on his skin again after so long.

"I'm sorry Cereza, I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry for everything."

"I forgive you."

Talbott's eyes quickly opened as he looked at her, he was surprised but it also looked like a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders. She continued:

"But...do you forgive me as well?"

"Of course I do."

Cereza also felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders as well, she smiled as she felt tears run down her face and she had to take off her glasses to clean it.

"I-I thought...I thought you called me to end everything between us." Said Cereza as she cried while she tried to clean her tears off her face. She was shaking a little and her breath was also shaky.

"I would never do that." He whispered. "If anything, I was more afraid of you wanting to break up with me."

Talbott got closer to her and hugged tight on to his body, catching her by surprise.

Cereza returned the tight hug, smiling while tears rolled down her face, Talbott also had tears rolling down his face who tried to hide by hiding his face on her shoulder but his shaky breath and the way he sniffed quietly gave it away he was crying. Cereza's hand went to Talbott's hair and was caressing his hair.

"I thought I was going to lose you." Whispered Talbott, not wanting to let her go.

"I thought the same thing…" Cereza whispered back, kissing his head.

Both of them stopped hugging each other as they cleaned their faces but still kept close, Talbott's hand travelled to Cereza's face and caressed her cheek, his hand was cold as always but Cereza never cared about that, she liked his touch.

They both stared at each other, they both knew it was awkward the way they stared at each other but they did not care, their gazes were filled with intense love.

Talbott kept his hand on Cereza's cheek and kissed her other cheek gently but his face didn't move away, in fact he kept face very close to hers moving only a little to her lips, their noses were touching each other and they could feel their heavy breaths, Cereza closed her eyes as she felt her heartbeat go very fast and her face was red, Talbott heart also felt like it was going to jump from his mouth and even his ears were dark red. He brushed his nose on to hers but then kissed her nose, he caressed her cheek once more smiling, Cereza then opened her eyes and saw his smile and smiled back at him. Both of them giving loving smiles at each other.

"I love you." Said Talbott.

Cereza's hand went to Talbott's face and to his cheek as well, as she sighed and smiled again.

"I love you too, meu amor.'

Talbott's smile grew as he heard again the loving way Cereza called him using her first language, while they didn't have their first kiss yet what matters is that they were both together again.

"Just promise to me that you will be more careful." Said Talbott.

Cereza nodded.

"I will...but, do you promise to never leave my side?" Asked Cereza, Talbott chuckled and said:

"I promise, my sunshine."

[frecklystars]

I read your birthday rant (happy birthday btw!) and now I come here with an argument to support your relationship with Starscream in regard to the part where you say you don't understand how such a character became so special to you when in canon he's basically a self-serving asshole who doesn't give a fuck about humans.

So, TFP Starscream is a character who deeply intrigues me. Yes, from all his... variants (lmao), specifically this one caught my attention as it's the one I most relate to. Consequently, at this point I'm convinced TFP Screamer is such a prick in canon because no one ever gave him a chance to prove otherwise.

Now, I don't judge them, I mean, trusting someone so unstable can certainly be difficult, specially when that someone holds a quite ominous reputation. However, he can also be surprisingly grateful with those who show him some sympathy, as well as he can work fine with people he would normally despise when he has the need for their support. So, in my opinion, mainly those two traits could've somehow kept him from turning into a lost cause at some point of the story, and there's where you get into the equation. My point is, I believe there might have been a mildly chance that in the long term he could've developed a strong connection even with a human if only given the chance and under the right circumstances.

I just want to believe he managed to find ultimate happiness in at least one timeline, HAHAHA. :')

Anyway, you're free to ignore this goddamn essay, lol.

THANK YOU!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Goodness, where to start? Anon, before I had to leave the house on my bday to go spend the wholeass day Doing Things, I had like ten minutes to scroll mindlessly on my phone and I read your message. God, it made me feel so much better. I didn't get the chance to say anything until now, but you seriously just changed my whole perspective on this!!

The first two months I had Starscream on my F/O list, I almost took him off. I'd never had that happen to me before, with any character. He was a main on sight, and I hyperfixated for a couple of months, but I still thought "geez I just can't connect with him or any of the Decepticons. He wouldn't love me, there's just no way. I can't think of any possible way around this." It really hurt, to love someone and think they wouldn't love me back - because damn, they're fictional characters, I shouldn't have that kind of worry to the point where it physically hurts. I don't think I'd even thought of the starlight/starflower nicknames that far back, either, it was so early... and I was too sad to keep trying anymore, and the hyperfixation fizzled out.

But then a few months later in the year, thank god Steve had his cameo requests open at the time, because I saw him recommended to me while scrolling the app and I was like "...I could use a pep talk from Starscream. Why not. It's triple the price of Plankton, but... it wouldn't hurt to hear a F/O say something to me, right?" and I didn't expect anything nice. I expected something like "you're a human, you need to just pick yourself up from whatever funk you're in and just do it." I didn't expect him to excitedly say "Please, stay strong, keep fighting; I believe in you, Keri, you can do this, you've got this, Keri!!" and have this whole minute-long rant about conquering the world together. It changed everything for me. And I added him right back onto the list as a main F/O and I haven't stopped hyperfixating for the last year and a half!!

The whole reason why I bring that experience up, is because you make SUCH SOLID POINTS. I've never, never thought about it that way: that he could have any capacity within himself to be... nice. When I got my cameo I was like "okay but it's POSSIBLE, literally hearing the encouragement in his voice, there IS a way to receive this kind of positive attention and have it be genuine, isn't there?? it's there, it's there, I swear to god it's somewhere if I dig hard enough for it", and reading your message made me remember that feeling, that hope.

You're so right, you're so right that Starscream has his small moments where,,, sure he isn't truly altruistic, but he does have a sort of "gentleman" code to himself, like sparing Arcee. He didn't have to. He only did it to repay something he wasn't obligated to repay, wasn't expected to repay. His life would have been so much easier, erasing not one life of an Autobot, but then TWO, and blaming the murder on Airachnid's doing. Autobots would have gone after Airachnid, steered away from Starscream, he would have one or two less enemies to worry about, and the Autobots would have been emotionally weakened by their grief and such a big loss to their already incredibly little team of very few bots. He gained absolutely nothing from sparing Arcee, but he did it anyway.

And yeah!! He was nice to Silas and the rest of M.E.C.H. as well!! He told stories and prattled on, and didn't even like... do it begrudgingly or insulting them. It may have been mostly a front, but I think a part of him - no, a big, big piece of him, really - was so relieved. Relieved to be out of Megatron's grip. Unconsciously, he was loosening up during that season, becoming more expressive, more talkative, smiling more often, even so much as laughing. He was healing and he had no idea. I especially like the line you wrote, "he was such a prick because no one gave him the chance to prove otherwise".

So... anon, this made me feel so much better, when you pointed that out!! That I could come at the right moment, the right time, kind of weave myself into the story and we could at least be friends, and something can definitely spark from that friendship 🥺🥺 ugh, this made me feel so much better. I had such an "aha" moment after reading it. Sweet anon, thank you for taking the time to send this to me, because it really improved my whole viewpoint on how he could perceive me. I know I normally have a "it's self insert, do what you want, canon doesn't matter" type of attitude, which I still encourage ofc... but for Starscream specifically, it's always been really, really difficult for me to keep optimistic about it. He's the only F/O I've ever had so many doubts with -- we're way better now than we were in the beginning, for sure, thank fuck for cameo oh my GOD, what with all of the promises and i-love-you's and secret meetings under the stars when I think to myself "yeah, no, I think this could happen" -- but I still have my off days where I think "well there's just no way. there's no canon evidence to support that he'd even so much as want to look at me, let alone love me." but damn you've just turned my entire world around.

If I have another off day, I'm going to remember this. I'm going to look back and read it. You didn't have to take the time to write something so meaningful to make me feel better, but you did, and damn I MEAN IT, this helped me so, so much. Seriously, thank you thank you THANK YOUUUU. 🥺🥺💙💙💙🌟🌸🌟🌸✨✨✨

#anonymous #asks #keepsake #birthday wishes #self insert asks #putting it in that tag so i can find it easier when i look back #🥺 that was so nice of you anon. seriously seriously thank you #i sound like a broken record but this really did help me SO much #ive struggled with this specific character for a longass time #and though 86% of the time i'm like 'hell yeah he loves me so much!' #i still have moments where i think 'wow who am i fucking kidding' #especially when watching the series #i love watching the source material of my f/os #but watching scenes where stsc is like 'i hate humans good riddance to a wretched species' #im like 'god damn. okay. i cant - im the exception right? right?...' #'yes? no? why would i be though?? im nothing special??' #so... again!!! tysm!!! im going to lock this into my memory #🌟🌸✨💖💕 have a lovely day #!!!!

The Untamed, episode 17 - watching notes

Okay ... here we go. I'm dreading this a bit

And I still miss Lan Wangji 😔

Okay wait. I know it's hard to remember because this goes on for like 20 (?) Episodes, but this is still a flashback. So technically, wwx's memory flashback is a flashback within a flashback. This show, man...

Oh no, 3 minutes into the episode and I'm emo again 😥

New preferred endgame btw: wwx brews Hefeng Liquor near a beautiful lake in the mountains. Lan Wangji lives there with him, but since cloud recess is nearby, can still go there daily to fulfil his duties. They go on night-hunts together whenever possible and are the adoptive dads of about a dozen Lan disciples. How close am I? 😁 (Rhetorical question!!! I don't want to know!)

Who gave Wei Wuxian permission to look so devastated!?! 😫

Or Wen Ning to be so pure, for that matter? 💚

Thos scene, of Wei Wuxian cradling Jiang Cheng to his chest, asking helplessly and in an almost childlike way, where they can go, reminds me of something my mother recently said to me in conversation. She said that, no matter how old you are, be it 15 or 50, when your parents die, you will feel like you are now orphaned. And the part of you that could be someone's child and be loved like a child and that still craves that love, will feel utterly and hopelessly alone. I'm sure you could make arguments against this, for example in situations where parents couldn't act as parents do before they died anyway (for example, abusive parents or parents who need care themselves due to age or illness), but I think she has a point. A part of us, I think will always crave the unconditional love and trust one (should) feel in early childhood. And while parent's death at some point in one's life is to be expected, it will still leave a whole that no other form of love can ever fill. The way the three siblings are reacting to their (foster-)parents deaths really drives that feeling home, imo. Jiang Chang's blind rage, Jiand Yanli's illness that renders and shock, as well as Wwi Wuxian's frantic attempts to hold everything together. In the scene I'm watching right now, he really looks like a child, and oldest sibling (even though I know, he's not. But he is acting like one), trying to step up and fill the role of the parents, but still, being a child himself, feeling absolutely inadequate, lost and helpless. And it breaks my heart.

Sorry for the long tangent, but I've got feelings you all 🙈

I ADORE Wen Ning so much 😫

*Nelson from the Simpsons voice* Haha!!! @ Wen Chao for being outsmarted by him

Aaaaahhhh!!! Can I just say I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The fact that Wwi Wuxian once helped Wen Ning, which Jisng Cheng criticized him for (!!!) now saves them!

I love it how the music and the way it's shit tells us to be shocked when wen chao says "[I will] kill them all" and I'm sitting here going

So wait, has Wen Qing abandoned the rest of the Wen clan?

I've catalogued two versions of scary Wwi Wuxian so far: 🔥🔥🔥 and 😢😢😢

This is sadly the latter kind

Okay no, wen Qing didn't abandon the rest of the wen clan, but she still helps the Jiang siblings

Wei Wuxian continues to break my heart 💔💔💔

He's so desperately trying to hold them all together, even though he himself is breaking apart 😔

Wen Qing is a straight up badass and I won't hear otherwise!

Nooooooo nnonononono

This can't be!!! I KNOW jiang Cheng is alive in the present timeline

Or is he alive? ... I'm not sure I understand what's going on

(Quick aside: I'm pretty sure that wei Wuxian dodnt wear purple before. Now he does. A purple belt and a white and purple inner robe ... which are the Jiang colours... JUST RIP MY HEART INTO EVEN TINIER PIECES, SURE!!! 😭😭😭)

So he is breathing... and moving ... but something is wrong, right?

Okay so he isn't dead but he lost his golden core ... argh shit. And I thought that situation couldn't get worse. (In retrospect, that's probably a though I shouldn't have at all while watching this show :/)

But ... that doesn't seem right either from what I remember from the present timeline. Wasn't he cultivating again? I'm honestly not sure

And now, apparently, its Jiang Cheng's turn to crush my heart

Ok, I'm easily distracted today, bear with me: wen quing's talk about the wen clan's actions not being who they are. That they, fir generations, have only healed people, never killed really reminds me of how in Avatar: The last Airbender, the Fire Nation forgot that fire isn't only angry destruction, but also nurturing warmth, life and healing. The comparison kind of lends itself easily thanks to the Wen Clan's similar role in the story, as well as their fire and sun symbolism. Maybe Wen Qing and Wen Ning could also serve as this story's Zuko and Iro, reconciling the two interpretations and saving their clan. (This is wild speculation based on an arbitrary comparison. I'm probably wrong 😅 again, don't tell me ;))

Has Wei Wuxian slept, once, since he woke up in that field?

Oh honey ... :'(

He isn't eating either :'(

I did not expect this show to show this many varieties of grieve in such a realistic way

At least his beard is making me laugh 😂

Just the thought of Lan Wangji gives him hope!!! 😭

YOU COMPLETE IDIOT YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME

at least one person still has some sense

Finally!!!! Finally someone comforts him too! Finally he LET'S himself be comforted

Wen Quing helps him woth the research and now he brings her food. I'm soft! 😭

Oh oh ...

Is he ...?

Is he going to try and give Jiang Cheng his core?

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE IDIOTS????

AAAARGH!

(Lan Zhan ... where are you? 😥
