You know the Mother Moat X reader I requested a while back?
Could you please make one of Ronal X adopted human daughter reader?
Random: (probably not accurate)
Ao'nung: Look at them, they're all freaks!
Y/n: ...Brother, am I a freak too?
Ao'nung: That's different. You're my sister. I don't care if you're a human. You're an exception-
-Death
Okie dokie! I tried my best not to make it nearly identical to Stxeli so I did some change for this one. Hope you all enjoy this one!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The sea gives, and the sea takes"
That is the motto, the rule, the statement, the saying in amongst the reef clans. It is the cycle and the rule of the ocean. It is beautiful as is deadly.
To receive, you must give.
Ronal and Tonowari. The Olo'eyktan and Tsahik of their clan has given so much to the sea. To Eywa. They expect nothing in return only to live in their peaceful island.
Their hard work and dedication were noticed. And Eywa believes it was time to give them something special.
It was another day in the island. Everyone is doing their duties, others relaxing among the beach, children playing around. It was just another day.
Except for Ronal. As Tsahik, it is her duty to hold her connection with Eywa and to interpret whatever Eywa is telling her. And today, ever since she opened her eyes to a new day, she cant help but feeling something big is going to happen. Yet cant seem to know if it will be a good thing, or a bad thing.
At the same time, something small was passing the walls that protects the island, it was making its way to beach.
Word quickly spread of an odd floating object getting closer to the beach. Many gathered to see what it was, it even caught the attention of ronal and tonowari.
Both were at the fore front of the gathering crowd, warriors close should the item be seen as a threat. But as the item got closer, the less threatening it looked.
The item in question was made of demon metal. Round and reflective. Ronal felt a pull to the item and went to get closer. Tonowari was right behind her making sure she was safe.
All it took was a touch of the item and the top slid back to reveal...
A human baby girl.
Ronal was shocked and confused. What is a human child doing this far at sea? As far as Ronal remembers, what humans remain have settled with the forest na'vi. And that is days away from where they are.
The human child in question was sleeping peacefully. Only little snores escaped her tiny lips. Gently picked up the child into her arms, the child snuggled against ronal's chest.
Tonowari looked down at the child, feeling just as confused. "A human child? Where are the others?" He looks back at the sea, seeing no ships or other form of demon aircraft.
Ronal looks down at the sleeping child as she answers, "I am not sure...but she was out there all alone. No mother, no father....tonowari, what if they left her to die?" the more she questions the girls arrival, the more scared she thinks about it.
The sea is large, and full of dangerous things. Anything at anytime something could have harmed the child. And no one would have known.
Tonowari holds ronal as reassurance. "Perhaps it was the will of Eywa that protected the child. To bring her to us". It made sense in ronal's mind. All day she couldnt shake the odd feeling. And now she knows why. Eywa has guided the lost child to them. To be found.
Taking in the child was a choice that took time for the people to adjust. Tonowari and Ronal took in the little baby as their own. Naming her Pahem.
And Pahem was a dear treasure to Tonowari and Ronal. While small, she has a big personality. Would laugh and smile a lot, and even got along so well with ao'nung and tsireya!
Both children loved their new little sister and would play games with pahem at the center. Like any child, pahem was no different in crying or being fussy. All it takes is a small pile of seashells or having her ilu toy and she is calm as a clam.
Pahem fitted well into the family. Ronal felt like she birthed Pahem, that she was there since day one. However, time to time, Ronal would look back at the sea and wonder where she came from. Or if her original mother lost her at some point. But Ronal tries her best not to think too much on it.
As time goes on, Pahem began to show interest in anything that has to do with physical activity. Swimming of course is essential to pahem. Has become an excellent diver and can hold her breath for a long time. An astounding professional at such a young age.
She even began to teach the young children and has the patient of infinite stars. She was calm, sweet, but isn't afraid to stand her ground.
Pahem loves her siblings, but, she mostly views ao'nung in high regards. She will follow him more than she would with tsireya. Pahem would copy how he talks, walks, and even eat ao'nung's favorite foods, pahem would try to style her hair like ao'nung.
Ao'nung felt very happy and proud that his little sister would look up to him. So he tries his best to be a good example for her.
Tsireya on the other hand, loves and adores her cute little sister. Would style pahem's long hair into different ways and put cute little décor. Would also enjoy sister time with pahem as much as she could.
Pahem has a soft side for tsireya as she cant handle her sisters cute blue eyes! Tsireya would also scold ao'nung for teaching pahem something that is rough or not lady like.
Rotxo has would tease pahem, often calling her "little nung" and would try to pull little pranks of her. He likes to spend some time with pahem and would show her some tricks of his own. Even share secrets of how to prank ao'nung really good.
Tonowari on the other hand, he is proud to have pahem in his life. She is very small but her heart beats like a tulkun. He would often train her to be a hunter like how she desires, to fight and to train to be the mightiest warrior the metkayina has ever seen. Of course not to push his child to the extreme since her stamina is lower than that of a na'vi her age.
Both ronal and tonowari love pahem for how independent she is for someone so young. Yet they cant help but feel protective of their little girl. So small and anything can hurt her. So when she goes out, there is always someone watching over her from a distance. Making sure no harm comes in her way.
Everything was fine. Everything was perfect.
Until the sully family came.
That day, ao'nung and rotxo took it upon themselves to see who arrived on their island. Them and many other clan members gather to see. Tsireya also came to see to see who arrived, and felt fluttery when one of the newcomers said "hey" to her.
Ronal and tonowari came and greeted jake sully and his family. When uturu was asked, ronal was the first to point out their flaws and distinct traits they have.
"they have demon blood!" She shouts for everyone as she holds one of the children's hands as they have an extra finger.
"mother wait!!" a voice was heard amongst the crowd. The people made way to show pahem. The sully family were very shocked to see a human living amongst the reef people.
"sister, not now" ao'nung stepped in front of pahem as means to stop her from getting closer to the outsiders.
"please brother" she smiles and went around him. "mother, you say they have demon blood, but they are not different from how I look. They have an extra finger, eyebrows, yet I have them too. Let them in mother, they look tired from a long journey" pahem pleaded.
Ronal took in her daughters words and held a silent conversation with her mate. After what felt like long minutes. Tonowari granted uturu. And the sully family were welcomed.
The first few weeks were awkward and odd as the sully family were trying to understand how a human was living in a na'vi clan without being outcasted or anything. And even more confusing as pahem is the chiefs daughter.
When their training took place, pahem became more of tuk's personal teacher as with tuk it took a lot more patience and using different form of teaching methods. Tuk became close to pahem quicker than her siblings and came to love her like a best friend.
the other sully children got to know pahem in different paste. Lo'ak was the slowest one to getting to know pahem as pahem was always with ao'nung. And lo'ak isnt so keen on getting along with the brat.
However one day, lo'ak was doing his own thing when he noticed ao'nung and his goons bullying kiri. A fight ensued making tonowari and jake having to confront the boys.
Lo'ak was angry when jake told him he had to apologize to ao'nung. "just why should I say sorry!? he called my sister a freak!". Pahem was hiding behind the tent when she heard what lo'ak said. Made her feel a bit disappointed towards ao'nung. Her super awesome big brother.
Later, when the sun was setting, ao'nung was sharpening his blade when he saw pahem sit in front of him. "That is a nasty bruise" she pointed out. Ao'nung huffed. "Its fine, doesn't hurt".
Pahem took a moment before sayings what she needed to say, "brother, am I a freak?". That made ao'nung stop at what he was doing and look into his sisters eyes. "What? no no, why would you ever think that?" he moves to sit beside her. Pahem rubs her arms and continues. "You called kiri and lo'ak a freak. Its not their fault for how they look like. They have similar features to what I have. And you called them a freak. How are they different from me brother?" she looks up at him, wanting to know the answer.
Ao'nung felt stuck. He gulped down his nervousness and tried his best to answer. "They are not us, they are not you. You are not a freak. You are my sister, a metkayina. You are one of us. Born and raised here. They dont belong here".
That answer didn't seem to satisfy pahem. "but isn't that the point? They came obviously knowing they have to change everything, leave behind all that they know. So clearly brother, they are struggling, yet they are learning. There is massive progress with them. And it is YOU who doesn't want to see the change! Metkayina or not, my blood is closer to them than it is closer to you. If you continue to bully them then I will get mad and....and.....!! I will hang out with lo'ak over YOU!".
When pahem said that, it felt like a newborn tulkun was laying on his chest. Air left his lungs, and unable to process the threat. Pahem? Leaving him over the baby tail freak? Never!
"ok ok, I promise! I wont bully lo'ak or anyone else of his family. I promise." he pleaded with pahem. "you promise promise?" pahem leaning in. Ao'nung nodded fast. That answer seemed to please pahem and smiles. "ok!" and she sat on his lap and began to chat like she didn't threaten him.
For the moment. All was well in pahem's life.
Tumblr media
Aaaaaaaaand that is all for this one! This was cute to write! Until next time! see ya!

ill have peace when people realize that theres barely any romantic implications beyond waifubait with hajime & chiaki in sdr2 (hajime is even like “what is up with this girl” multiple times because she cant hold convo, love her) meanwhile there’s immediately romantic implications between hajime & nagito
hajime and chiaki’s relationship is not inherently romantic beyond it being a boy and a girl who care about each other, and people thinking that needs to be romantic. it makes more sense as an important friendship. because chiaki is important to and cares about ALL of her classmates in the same way.
but ultimately chiaki COULDN’T save hajime. not in dr3. it’s true that a vision of her manages to talk hajime out of his despair in chapter 6. but the REAL chiaki could NOT save him from himself, because she has a fundamental mismatch and doesn’t truly understand his feelings on worthlessness and lack of talent. she has a talent, she even says to him that it’s “harder” to be talented than not, and she’d prefer it. that’s completely ignoring his feelings on the matter.
while it can be argued that dr3 shows more romantic implications between them, it’s also where she’s least compatible and helpful for him. she can’t understand why he’s so upset about talent, so she can’t talk him out of his mindset and prevent him from doing the project. even if she doesn’t know that’s what her words are doing, she still fails.
i won’t say komaeda would talk him out of it, because i don’t think many people could. hajime hates himself deeply enough to become another person, it’s hard to talk anyone out of that mindset. but komaeda understands hajime in a way no one else does - because everyone else in sdr2 is talented, and doesn’t really ride or die for the whole “talented vs untalented” dichotomy, but they don’t not participate in it. 
komaeda isn’t really talented on the other hand, and he even wishes he wasn’t, and treats himself like he isn’t. because he believes he doesn’t deserve the title. just like hinata, he believes strongly in the worth of ultimates and the worthlessness in comparison of those beneath them - like himself and hinata.
komaeda’s worldview is nearly the exact same as hinata’s, just pushed a bit further and a bit more twisted. hinata’s worldview isn’t any more healthy than komaeda’s, either - a healthy worldview doesn’t lead to you lobotomizing yourself. they understand each other in a way no one else in sdr2 can because they both have this inferiority/superiority complex about talent.
that’s why the narrative revolves around them so much. their stories begin and end with each other.
chiaki is important to hajime, yes, but not in any romantic sense. they’re friends. and that’s fine. a male and a female character don’t have to be romantic to be deeply important to each other. danganronpa is not above putting an m/f ship as endgame, this is obvious with naegiri, and if that was ever the intention with hajime and chiaki they would’ve. but instead we see a literal scene where hajime leaves his memory of chiaki behind and moves on from her, as he needs to, as they all need to, carrying her memory with him but not living in the past, and as he leaves her he joins nagito instead.
Tumblr media
and this is the FINAL shot of them. to end the series.  i think it’s pretty clear what they intended with this.
essentially, nagito and hajime complete each other. they are soulmates. end of ramble

Peace
would it be enough?
Anonymous asked: I have a request 🤭 can you write a fic/blurb/imagine (your choice!) where reader surprises sanji with a meal or dish they made for his birthday or something?? bc they wanted to surprise him and how he would react? (reader is a terrible cook 😂)
Warnings: none! (unless you count tooth rotting fluff?)
word count: 619
opla! sanji x g/n! reader
there’s frosting smeared onto your nose somehow, it should be impossible considering you didn't even have a cake to frost yet. the chef’s beloved kitchen is in disarray, utensils scattered about and various powders and liquids covering the counter. you’re trying your absolute best to craft sanji a birthday cake, managing to stay up long enough for everyone else to fall asleep. in the dark of the night you began your plan.
had you ever baked before today? well.. no? but it couldn’t be so hard now could it. you knew better than to attempt anything too extravagant, purchasing a box cake mix from the last island your ship had docked at. the box of triple chocolate cake mix now taunting you from the garbage can you had tossed it into. why wouldn’t your cake bake?
3 eggs? check! you’d added the water- hadn’t you? and you definitely added the oil, so what was wrong? had you not beat the batter well enough? what does vigorously even mean!
you cant help the frustrated grumbling as you pull the pan out of the oven yet again, placing it onto the counter with a clunk. you aggressively pull of your oven mitts, tossing them to the side. unbeknownst to you, your attempts at a surprise had failed. sanji had woken up to the sound of you dropping an egg on the ground and loudly saying “SHIT!” curious to what was happening and if you were safe, the blond had made his way to the kitchen.
the sight he’s met with brings an adoring smile to his lips, as he leaned onto the doorway of the kitchen to watch. the confusion etched on your face was nothing short of endearing, and the pout you were sporting had a vice grip on his heart. his eyes scan the kitchen in hopes of offering you any advice, when they land on the oven he can’t help the laugh that falls from his lips. at the sound you raise your head, eyes wide as he shakes his head with that same loving smile.
“my love, what’s got you up in the middle of the night like this?”
“sanji! you weren’t supposed to be awake!” there’s a frown on your face as you look at him. you make no attempt to hide your plan, the bright colored birthday candles out in plain sight. with a defeated sigh you motion to the table in front of you. “i wanted to surprise you for your birthday”
“all this trouble just for me darling?” he walks towards you, a smile so bright anyone would think he’d just got the best news of his life. when he reaches you his arms wrap around you in a hug, holding you close as he leans down to kiss your cheek. “you’re too cute y/n, what a lucky man i am.” his words and affection warm your heart, a giggle falling from your lips as you wrap your arms around his torso to hug him back.
 “i love you sanj,” you nuzzle your head closer into his chest. the sound of his heartbeat does wonders to ease your tension. 
after another squeeze he pulls away from you, turning to look at the counter. he takes a moment before picking up the pan and placing it back into the oven. you look at him with a tilt of your head, and he winks, pressing a button on the stovetop and the oven roars to life.
“i love you more sweetheart, even if you forgot to turn on the oven.” it feels like your whole body lights on fire, and with a level of shame you didn’t know was possible, you screech.
“I WHAT?”

Davesport is Toxic NOT abusive
(((WARNING: PRETTY LONG POST UNDER THE CUT.))) I've seen some people making the claims that Davesport is comship/proship (ok well i've more seen people bitching about it) and im tired of the Davesport slander so this will be an analysis of their relationship. My motive isn't to force anyone to ship it or anything- i really dont care what you do with your life, my frustration is just when people try to make up REASONS why they don't like the ship, even though its literally canon (and not badly written). My main point is -- You can hate what you want. You don't need a reason, and it doesn't need to be bad just because you don't like it. But I will not take any slander on their ship nor any slander of people who like davesport. Davesport is absolutely toxic-- No DSAF fan would disagree. They are literally child murderers with little to no souls and literally are physically disfigured to the point they don't have the capacity to feel proper humanity anymore. You cant expect 2 men who live their lives willingly murdering and then partying in vegas to celebrate on repeat to be gentle and kind to themselves or anyone else.
However, its NOT abusive. I've seen multiple people (mostly from twitter screenshots) claim that Davesport is abusive or the way people portray it is in a fetishy or romanticizing way of abuse, when that's just not the case. I don't blame a lot of people, since a lot of it comes from reading context and intent of the artist, which not everyone is good at-- BUT I'm here to assure you that MOST people don't intend to do that much and just like to portray how their dynamic is canonically like or portray Daves obsession with Jack. Another argument I've seen (by a twitter screenshot...) is that people are comshipping Davesport because people draw Jack annoyed a lot at Dave when...thats not true? That's just Jack's personality, first off:
Tumblr media
(From the Dave x Reader fanfic by Directdoggo)
"Jack is a bastardman not very touchy-feely. We can see this in many scenes, where Dave more or less says “I love you” and Jack responds with deflecting humour, or outright scorn. When Dave says it for the final time, this time, Jack tries to say it back, but can’t outright, only getting out: “Why is this so hard?” and “I hope you can find peace with what you’ve done.” Which Dave understood the meaning of. (Hey, better than Henry (LEGACY Jack) hearing “I love you” and proceeding to tear Dave limb from limb, huh?"
(Directdoggo describing Jack's personality)
I know it can be a little confusing to some people, but as someone who struggles with similar issues, just because he struggles to express intimately doesn't mean he can't love anything. Sometimes people are just different and communicating like that doesn't come as easily, even to the people you're closest to. To make it as easy as possible to comprehend-- He's quite literally a tsundere. (Minus the exaggerated ridiculousness in anime) He loves Dave, he just cant bring himself to say or act like it. The dismissiveness or rudeness in response to Dave's affection is not abuse, it's just a defensive response since he doesn't know how to say it back. (His way of being "shy") -- Also note its important that Dave UNDERSTANDS this about him by that point.
However Jack isn't the only thing I've seen regarding the claims that their ship is abusive-- and to debunk all of those I'm going to explain the three points that keep Davesport from being abusive, and I'll use Henry x Dave (which is what I'll call it to prevent it getting confused for FNAF willry) as an example alongside it since its super obvious why that one is messed up. Firstly, They are both bad people. By this point, Dave and Jack are murderers. It's just not surprising that they will be willing to kill each other at at least some point, considering they are willing to kill 5 year olds without remorse- and they'll both deserve it. It's only their own faults that they teamed up with the other, and it's meant to be the ultimate irony when Jack becomes even worse than Dave by "An ending". My point is- they're bad people. It's not like they're owed perfect company or would choose wholesome people to hang out with when they're literally both child murderers. Dave wasn't evil and didn't want to kill by the time he teamed up with Henry (and even after it was Henry's fault), so by that point his suffering was absolutely undeserved.
Secondly, They're lacking any specific power dynamic. Unlike Henry and Dave- whom have several levels of "Age, Father figure, and Employer", the most important one is that Henry is Dave's abuser. He manipulated him and purposefully harmed him both mentally and physically, whereas Dave never had any intention of doing either because Dave loved him and didn't want to lose him (because he had nobody else) This obviously much different with Dave and Jack, whom other than being taller and several years older than (which you can argue their 6 year age gap is weird but they didnt get to know each other till they were both older than 30 so by that point age difference doesnt rlly matter and (also theyre "mentally" like 24 and 22 canonically anyways (as much as I usually hate that argument)) Other then that they are only co-workers. This is a bit more arguable during DSAF 1, where Dave comes across more threatening and comes across like he's manipulating Jack, but I don't exactly count that because I wouldn't say theyre "shippable" or in their "situationship*" by that point (but also because them even being a ship was barely considered by the creator at that point obviously)-- whereas Dave is certainly more easily recognized as sincere to Jack in DSAF 2. Jack also is not someone who is afraid to defend himself against Dave, as shown by the fact he's willing to call out Dave's ridiculous behaviors (which is reasonable of him to do).
Tumblr media
(Also from the Dave x reader fanfic) (I just think this specific screenshot debunks any sort of "power dynamic" claim)
My Third and Final point: There is a CHOICE involved I haven't really done much Dave defense in this post, but his defense is very simple: He is literally physically unable to comprehend guilt or conscience. Dave didn't want to murder anyone in the first place, but it was Henry who fucked with his (literal) head so much to the point he stopped being able to feel guilt. He doesn't care about murder and doing wrong because he CAN'T care. You can't really let that reflect Dave as a character when he's really not in control of himself in the first place. Now with that, that doesn't change the fact he could certainly affect and hurt people, and it's fully up to Jack as to whether or not he wants to deal with this purple man's freakish life choices and hobbies or not. And that's honestly super dependent on the ending you decide to base Jack on. Most people see the 'canon' endings to be: Gnarly ending (DSAF 1) -> An ending (DSAF 2) -> Good ending (DSAF 3) Where in all of these, Jack DOES choose to deal with Dave and basically is completely cool with murder. You don't have to follow those endings if you don't want to, but that's just typically what the modern "Davesport" is known for, but its what I'm using for my defense (considering this is a defense of both fandom and canon Davesport.) Though as opposed with Henry and Dave- Dave had no choice. Henry only ever manipulated him into thinking he did, and Henry made sure to feed this whole 'we will be a family' ideal into Dave (who never had one) so that Dave would be terrified to lose him. Jack never manipulates Dave (when teamed up with him), and Dave never manipulates Jack (tho arguable in DSAF 1 as well). They stay with each other despite all of their issues, and I believe its due to some co-dependency (imo I think Jack is also obsessed with Dave just in a different way before DSAF 3) Which isn't healthy, but not...inherently abusive.
I believe my main three points kind of cover the most of why I dont consider Davesport to be inherently a bad ship, but like I said- if you don't like it, none of that matters anyways. You dont NEED a reason to like something, and I wont try to convince you why you should ship something because I like it. Just don't hate it just because of what someone else says-- 90% of the dsaf fandom aren't comshippers, and Davesport isn't gross or "toxic /neg" just because it's not healthy. I think "Don't fetishize/romanticize literal abuse like its normal or sexy" and "We should explore more complicated and unhealthy dynamics" can and SHOULD coincide with each other!!!! I think Davesport is great because of how bittersweet it is that these two people finally found solace and acceptance in each other but couldn't get past the self-sabotaging nature of what Henry turned them both into, ultimately making it impossible to work out forever. I think embracing the Davesport makes the (kind of aged) trilogy a lot more enjoyable of an experience and I DO encourage any davesport skeptics to keep an open mind. [Pretend I wrapped this up super nicely I can never do that--- Also this is open for conversation and/or debate, and also yada yada my bad if i said something randomly terrible I have extremely poor social skills lol let me know so I dont do it again yada yada] *Also if anyone doesnt know a situationship is (at least in the context im using it in ive heard other definitions for it but its not a real word so i actually dont care) when 2(or more) people basically treat eachother like lovers but they never communicate this outright and dont technically officially date but like they treat and commit to eachother like a partner would) (So its kind of what all those people who playfully flirt and call each other their spouses as a commited running joke are in)

ok i wasnt gonna do it i told myself no im just not gonna say anything on this drama but this is so MINDBOGGLING that i HAVE to make a post about this
i am gonna start by saying as someone on the arospectrum i personally see peridot as either fully aroace or arospec (i like headcanoning either one) and as in a qpr or plantonic friendship with lapis.
peridot has been confirmed to be intended to be read as aroace by a storyboard artist (maya peterson) that would focus on her character, i am not denying that,
however
she is also confirmed to be intended to be read as experiencing romantic attraction, by the OTHER storyboard artist who originally worked on peridot, jesse zuke, who has just as much authority to talk about peridots character, if not more since (to my knowledge) she was the original main storyboard artist for peridot
the intention behind what peridot is suppose to represent is fundamentally contradictory, there is absolutely no use fighting over it. this is so dumb to fight over YES both sides have been confirmed canon THATS WHY THIS IS DUMB </33
ive been trying to find as many actual sources as i can (which has been pretty difficult since A LOT has been deleted) but I finally found a transcript of one of jesse zukes posts that is deleted that everyone keeps referencing
Tumblr media
from this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/5q738i/lauren_zuke_speaks_of_her_intention/
(jesse was formerly known as lauren)
anyone posts something shipping peridot, u get a load of comments saying "this is aroace erasure, shes written as aroace, a storyboard artist said so", anyone posts something about peridot being canonically aroace, u get a load of comments saying "shes not canonically aroace, she was written as experiencing romantic attraction, a storyboard artist said so" everyone is either one or the other it seems like NO ONE is acknowledging that both is true and really this confusion is the fault of the crewniverse ????
these storyboard artists BOTH focused heavily on working on peridot and creating her character, and their intentions behind what she is are completely contradicting.
i would love for peridot to be aroace. to me she IS aroace, but im not going to pretend like this isnt the most confusing most unclear way of confirming that. even if maya peterson intended for her to be seen as aroace, jesse zuke wrote her as the complete opposite and it would be stupid of me to ignore that. harassing eachother over this is stupid. your both correct, now shake hands and make peace with eachother lol, good night.
As an arospec person I am completely fine with people shipping peridot and I do not think it is aroace erasure, because while I would love to see an orientation like mine depicted in a character like peridot, im not going to ignore that fact the she was ALSO originally meant to be read as experiencing romantic attraction AND the fact that many of the crewniverse ships peridot with people or supports others doing it. it is not aroace erasure to ship a character that was literally intended to be read as experiencing romantic attraction by some of the people who worked on her character. rebecca god damn sugar, the creator of steven universe has made fanart shipping peridot. peridots voice actor has said she likes and supports people shipping peridot. its just that different people working on the show had wildly different intentions when creating her character, and didnt clear up a solid identity for her with everyone working on her
jesse zuke said in her post "cant speak for anyone else! many people are writing those episodes". just like if maya peterson and anyone else working on peridot intended for her to be read as aroace, other people working on her character with just as much authority were writing her completely differently. people are not seeming to acknowledge that these two things co-exist. it is not one or the other. even though they are complete opposites, somehow theyve made it so that its both at once.
she was simultaneously written to be both aroace and experiencing romantic attraction by different people writing her character, clearly because of miscommunication within the crewniverse.
heres rebecca sugars ship art btw since the first 2 were really hard to find, in case anyone else wanted some sort of actual evidence of it
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also just wanted to bring attention to jesse zuke saying "anyone who wants to see the narrative they want is completely, 100% allowed to". peridot and her episodes were written to have multiple interpretations. this was written with multiple intentions. some of those intentions were aroace, some of them, like jesse zukes, were not. you are all correct peace and love
update i found a slightly longer version of jesse zukes post in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=oIl1sEQ4_iI
"I wanted to close the book on this - I am queer, and intend fully to write queer characters when I do"
this is pretty clear confirmation that peridot was fully written with completely different ideas in mind from completely different people. jesse zuke INTENDED for peridot and lapis to be read as having a queer relationship, in this post shes encouraging people to read it that way, meanwhile other writers had other intentions which are just as real and valid.
inconsistency and messy production in steven universe is not a new thing

hey you seem to really know your stuff with titanic and im curious if you can tell me more about that night? a lot seem to think everyone either just drowned or froze too death, but i have a feeling it was a lot more awful than people realize, considering all the jokes people make about the sinking they seem clueless to the fact this was a very bad and awful way to die, for everyone on that ship, especially the third class :/
you know, ive always thought i didnt know that much about titanic but as ive sat here parsing through what i do know, turns i know a lot more than i thought.
and unfortunately, anon, youre very right, it was a horrible way to die, especially so for the third class.
quite a lot of people did drown or freeze to death which are horrifying ways to go by themselves.
at the time, evacuation plans for big oceanliners were shit so a lot of people wouldnt have gotten their lifesavers on, and off the top of my head, i wouldnt be able to tell you how many people could swim back then, but it was certainly less than today. it was only in the 90s that swimming became a compulsory part of the curriculum in schools in the uk, so unless you had reason to know to swim, you probably didnt know if you were british.
and i dont think i need to go into the biology of drowning to tell you its not a fun way to go. its fucking painful, for one, and two, you would have been terrified if you drowned during a fucking shipwreck.
it was also very cold, unsurprisingly. its the north atlantic. it was about 28°F or -2°C which is a lethal temperature. for some reason, a lot of people think that freezing is a relatively peaceful way to die; its not. i cant speak myself for how awful being so cold youre shivering is (i cant really feel the cold because of nerve damage but thats beside the point), but everyone ive spoken to about it resoundingly says its fucking awful. you also experience disorientation, muscle stiffness, excruciating pain in your extremities as your body pulls circulating blood from them to keep your vital organs going, and if youre very unlucky, you might also get frostbite (which can kick in under 30mins) which will add some burning pain.
an added kicker to the cold is that even if you can swim, the shock of cold water might make it harder. im pretty sure shock also likely killed people outright.
another way of dying if you made it out of the boat and into the water (spoiler: several people didnt) is if you were too close to the funnels when they collapsed, you would have been crushed by 62ft tall metal funnels. dozens died that way and if the crushing didnt kill you, you would have either drowned or frozen to death soon after.
you could have also been killed by any number of things that fell from the ship, especially as the stern (the end bit) began to lift up before the ship finally broke in two.
mind you, all of this happened in almost darkness. the engineers kept the lights on as long as they could but eventually they cut out and part of what made the iceberg so hard to see was the fact that it was a new moon.
one of the other things that made it hard to spot is one of the few not good things, but better: the ocean was relatively calm. it made it hard to spot icebergs because you can normally watch out for the foam of the water as it splashes on them. although it led to the sinking itself, it did make launching lifeboats possible (its hard as hell to launch lifeboats in violent ocean today let alone the dinky little wooden ones back then) and those in the water werent being thrown around as much as they could have been. though thats not saying much.
and of course, there are those who didnt make it out of the boat. movies did not lie to you about that although they did lie to you about the specifics.
historical record suggests that they did not purposefully lock third class passengers below deck like many movies show. testimony from the few third class passengers who survived indicates this which is why im likely to believe it. they were able to get up on deck, but it also wasnt easy to do that.
now, crew have said in the haste of the evacuation, they didnt remember to tell the third class passengers the plan. now is that true or is it just a more favourable story to tell during the inquiry? i cant say, for sure. either could be true and both highlight how we treated the poor in society back then (and as a poor, its reflective of today). as such, many third class passengers simply left the cabins and waited outside to be told what to do and that didnt happen. eventually, they made their way up themselves, some due to the fact that they could see the rising water.
and not all of them made it to deck. some chose not to, and again, going off third class survivor testimony here which is why im willing to believe it. theres a specific story about a woman who put her baby on her lap and simply played the piano until the atlantic rose to meet her. another of a man who told his brethren that he was too old to fight the atlantic, and simply lit a cigarette and waited.
others got lost because titanic was a large ship and it was very easy to get lost. especially in the panic of a sinking ship and under lights that are getting dimmer. luckily, some crew remembered oh shit the poor people exist and went down to help any that needed it, so some were led out but that doesnt mean they all did.
also, sadly, it probably wouldnt have helped. similarly to the engineering crew that kept the engines going as long as they could before evacuating themselves, there simply werent enough lifeboats and they were all or almost all gone.
additionally, there were no lifeboats on the third class deck space so they had to make their way to either second or first in order to get into a lifeboat. dont quote me on this because i might have the wrong place, but this is where there was a locked gate for third class. luckily, they snapped the lock off of it and got the fuck out.
anyway, back to those inside. now some of the people trapped inside likely drowned, especially those trapped in the bow as it slowly filled with water and began to sink into the water. the risk of drowning also got worse, once things like walls and doors gave out and in comes a rush of freezing cold sea water.
but that isnt the only likely fate. a rush of water can push quite a lot of things and terrifying speeds which meant people would have been killed via blunt force trauma or being impaled on something. especially for those in the stern (again, the back bit) as it lifted because gravity is not helping here. those still trapped inside would have held on for dear light as the light slowly dimmed and became redder before finally cutting out as the ship broke in two.
now if you were in the stern and escaped death via drowning, blunt force trauma or impaling, you would have definitely been killed by water pressure. see, the bow was able to fill with water relatively slowly and equally which is why its still decently intact on the seabed because it sank relatively slowly. the stern did not and thats why the stern looks like an underwater crash site. as the stern sank, it sank quickly which meant there were still air pockets inside as it sank. and as it came down, the pressure built and soon the people above water could hear what sounded like explosions. it would have been a quick death, but thats the most i can say.
i cant speak for if any kind of sealife killed anyone. i havent heard of any testimony of that and i dont know whats there in the north atlantic to kill people. i assume theres something there, but i couldnt tell you what.
im also sure i missed some forms of death, but off the top of my head, thats what i got.
and yeah, it wasnt pretty and most of the people who died were third class or crew members.

i know i've been pretty inactive for the past few months (and i'll probably continue to be, sadly) but i came across a few behaviors on my dash that i cannot comprehend..
the day people accept the inclusion of lgbtq characters in media and treat it like it's a normal thing and not the exception, is the day i can die in peace. "oh, why did you make them bisexual?" why are you questioning it? why does it bother you? why do we have to assume that everyone is cishet and that queerness is the exception? would you ask the same if this was about a straight character? i dont think so.
and like, what is it with this fandom enjoying problematic ships? i cant even write the ships down cuz i feel like throwing up.

like everyone can ship whatever they like i don't even care but you cant look me straight in the eyes and say that if byler isn't endgame then will's storyline can still have a GOOD conclusion when his feelings have canonically been used to further another romantic storyline that doesn't even stand on its own
it doesn't matter what you personally want as your endgame, saying that since will sacrificed his love for other people without even directly confessing it then it means that his arc is over and now he only needs to be happy for his friends who are in love and find someone else to have a crush on without even confessing to mike is WEIRD
how can you think that just "recognizing that his love is unrequited and moving on" is his whole arc when he went through that IN THE THIRD SEASON already. that's when he made peace with his feelings for mike and realize nothing was gonna come out of it. that's why he destroyed castle byers (among other reasons)
and not having a direct confession MAKES NO SENSE
you can't depict a love so strong like will's love for mike and not even having him confessing it like wtf. and a confession in the last season means that both he and mike will have to confront that, and since will has already given up on his love, because he thinks mike will never love him back, there's only one thing that can come out of it without it being extremely anticlimactic or just pathetic and sad. like that's the thing, if they had him confess in this season i would've said "yup that train has left the station my dudes" BUT THEY DIDN'T
so yeah ship miIeven whatever, but at least recognize that if that's the endgame then they fucked up big time lmao and not just will's arc but also mikes and els

Hatchetfield anon here, and good to know it's fine to gush about them. (Had to Switch off from anonymous to send images :p)
The first one (and possibly less spoiler heavy) would probably be the diva, the queen bee-atch herself: Linda Monroe.
She's from Black Friday and she just scratches that part of my brain that's attracted to dommy rich ladies. She's important, her children are better than everyone else's, and though she thinks her husband is a sniveling fool, she appreciates his loyalty at least. She has a whole song about how she'll make everyone love her ("Adore Me". Quote: "You'll kneel before me, Kiss my toe"), and honestly? She's not wrong. Lot of people fell for the cult "exciting new little religion" that she started (me included. Lauren Lopez just eats her roles right the fuck up).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, of course, you have the cooky, reclusive, biology professor: Professor Hidgens.
Mad scientist mixed with theater kid vibes. Literally. He's as extra as you can imagine. And what I like best about him is that he's a "greater good" kind of villain. As soon as he realizes the alien hive mind that's turning the whole town into a musical (not the craziest part of this entire series, by far) could be humanity's last shot at world peace, he's all, "Okay. Yeah. Let's join the hive!", knocking out his allies, opening up the doors of his doomsday bunker, and attracting the hive zombies with his own, recently composed song, "Show Stopping Number" (quote: "it'll unify humanity, in a THUNDERING CHORUS! No exists from this Broadway venue~!"), which mixes in a except from the musical he wrote and was trying to get funding for called "Working Boys".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And finally, we have the most recent ones: Max Jagerman, and Grace Chastity.
Where do I start with Grace... She's a repressed Christian girl who thinks having no sexual thoughts until marriage is supposed to be the norm. Then she starts getting dirty thoughts, kills a man, gets her hands on a book full of rituals powered by eldritch beings and decides, "yeah. This is what I want to do with my life. Seducing pervy dudes and then, if they don't pass the vibe check, consume their soul in order to make me stronger..." One good day away from murder, really, as evidenced by her leading the songs "Bury the Bully" and "Dirty Dudes Must Die". Never really expected a character who has the canonical line "[after character A asks why character B would be in hell] -She's bisexual and dead, where else would she be?" to grow on me so strongly, and yet-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And finally we get to Max Jagerman. The unapologetically bastard of a jock with a God complex ("Don't need no one to tell me / High school will be my peak / So I'm willing to take advantage"). The way everyone paints him as this horrible monster in, well, "Literal Monster", and he doubles down on that when it becomes his turn to sing instead of the expected "I'm not *that* much of a monster, here's my redeeming qualities"... Even when his ghost is being sent to the shadow realm he reacts to it by literally saying "WORTH IT!". He's just hits all the right notes for me. The entirety of "Dirty Girl" was sung directly into my soul.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And i think that's about it for my rambling. Now I leave you with the knowledge that Grace and Max's most popular ship name (that I've seen) is "Holy Ghost/Spirit". Sorry for rambling and have a nice day!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THESE ALL SOUND SO GOOD! I definitely wanna watch these now, or at least just listen to the songs 😅😅😅
I don't even know where to start here! I cant even choose a favourite out of your descriptions!! Thank you so much!! Linda sounds completely like my type XD Oh- I have that same brain-part that makes you crave dommy rich ladies XD Especially if they're mean 😅 I'm happy to be a loyal spineless husband for a pretty woman with a sharp tongue XD Happy.
And Professor Hidgens looks promising too XD If you've been following my Callaghan meltdown you know I have a... Thing... for teachers ☠ And OH, just the way you've described him. 'knocking out his allies, opening up the doors of his doomsday bunker, and attracting the hive zombies with his own, recently composed song, "Show Stopping Number"'- Y E S. I'm all for this.
And- just- Grace and Max sound absolutely perfect XD She seems so gross and awful which I l o v e (When female villains get to be truly despicable and broken??? 👌👌👌), and him?? A villain being exactly (if not worse then) what everyone says??? Absolutely obsess-worthy.

Thinking about the whole Izu vs Shig and how Izu will save him, now...I admit how this in paper sound lovely idea, sadly, the execution left much to be desired.
Many people, including the villains stans, are counting on Izu saving Shig aka "let him live" but here the problem...
Shig, dispite all...still wants destruction. Still havent change at all.
"Ah but he will use the talk no jutso"
Tumblr media
First, its once again the narrative and fandom wants Izu to be the "pixie bunny" here. Why Izu needs to make peace with people who want to hurt him? Why he has to serve as therapist but at the same time...his pain is a joke for the fandom? Guys...Izu still thinks he is worthless....where is the fun in that.
Second, Izu knows shit about Shig. Literally nothing. Put in perspective here: Shig knows (and is ok with) Izu is quirkless and never even make a crude remark to Izu or anyone about it. Izu? He never even thought about Shig...Hori single him out to such degree many crucial infos are unknow by the mc.
"Ah but he could have know off screen"
That is not a good look for the story...this is important and we should see how Izu would react to knowing the story of Shig....which btw...WE READERS, THE CHARACTERS CANT KNOW. (No investigation on the Shimuras. No Words. Like even if "everyone hates Kotaro" sure people would say smth)
Third, Izu has no emotional conection to care for Shig...look, I ship them. I do. And I can imagine some people are giving me the stinky eyes or as some haters in the twitter...will try to say smth silly like "go read the manga" as if this is THE COMEBACK.
Show me a scene in the damn manga where Izu thought about Shig (before war arc) or wonder about him?
Show me a scene where Izu learn anything about Shig?
Shig has Izu in his mind(sorry IzuOchas but he has more chances than Ochako...ship and let ship but you guys have to admit Hori fumble and drop this ship without a second thought) but at the same time...does nothing. He never changes...but Hori masks that with "cool scene bruh"
Shig has cool scenes...the one where he waked up from the tube is epic. I admit that. Hell I love MVA(still baffled Izu doesnt even hear about Daika. A crater is made...no reaction from everyone) but ...those scenes add nothing.
Also...When Izu ever had a cool scene like that?
Oh yeah never.
"So you think Shig has no salvation?"
At this point, Izu and Shig should team up and end afo and rule Japan but this wont ever happen. How Izu will save Shig? Look I'm betting more on the power of love.
Srsly. Think about it. His family tried to stop him to take afo. They failed. His family failed on this regards.
Izu doesnt know shig enough to use the power of friendship....but the power of love ....is not out of possibility. "You have to live. How are we gone take our date?"
If MHA was better written, this could be ignored as just a delulu rant but...mha is written by Hori is not well written...so this makes sense.
That being said...also doubt it will happen.
Izu and Shig will be shit on until the end.

Also!! Really random!! But I just wanted to say, as a fellow Muslim, when I read that anon message you got I was literally appalled. It’s sadly common but it’s still just as ridiculous.
Being Muslim literally doesn’t mean you have to limit the exploration of sexuality??? It’s a toxic mindset, just cause you’re Muslim doesn’t mean you can’t have desires or cant have any sense of sex and intimacy??? Like wtf??? Get your priorities straight! Legit no man on earth should be able to make judgement on other Muslims behavior because that’s only for Allah to do, and if that anon is so high and mighty then they should realize that they’re committing a sin by stating assumptions on the judgement of Allah, something none of us Muslims have any power to understand or inflict so like 💀💀💀
ALSO the whole gay thing??? Tiresome at this point. First of all, it’s fictional characters and let’s be fr they’re literally dating and in love (biased), but even if they weren’t, literally what does it have to do with the anon? Why can’t they just let people ship and support what they want to support? And also dude gay Muslims exist, coming from a GAY MUSLIM 😭. Yea I pray five times a day, yeah I have read the Quran, yeah I fast, and yeah I’ve ALSO simultaneously been able to love who I want to love which happens to be a woman without doubting my religious beliefs and the god I worship??? Like hello are you dumb (sorry I shouldn’t be bad mouthing in Ramadan but I am cause this is crazy) 😭😭😭.
Legit like who are you to say what’s wrong and right! You’re not supposed to pass judgement to anyways especially fellow Muslims cause you don’t know us and our beliefs and our loyalties! Exploring sexuality and attraction and writing and producing it doesn’t make you a bad Muslim wtf, it makes you human, and humans aren’t perfect like you said, but humans still have their values and at the end of the day isn’t that what you’ll be judged for the most?? Also the whole gay thing again, it is in my beliefs that Allah wouldn’t want me to suffer and be unhappy, if he made me this way it was by his intention and I support peace and love as Allah would encourage and in my heart I know it’s not a sin.
ANYWAYS THATS MY HOT TAKE AFTER SEEING THE POST AND GETTING ANGRY HAHAHA MOVING ON LOVE YOU SAB DONT LET THEM GET TO YOU BLESS YOU 💗💗💗💗💗
thank you ahhh no literally it’s so crazy when someone deigns to think their judgment means anything esp compared to Allah - that anon truly was grasping at straws just to shame me for my fics when why else were they on my page 💀💀
no literally they are boyfriends and no one can fight me on this haha — but for real, everyone is entitled to their opinion but it’s crazy to attack someone for shipping lgbt ships or for being lgbt in general — it’s 2024, come on 💀💀💀 no literally why would Allah make you this way if it wasn’t intended? it’s insane. I’m sure you’re a wonderful Muslim — because I can see your incredibly kind heart and I hope that anon’s words or any other person’s words don’t ever get to you 💕💕
LOVE YOU TOO BABE — DONT LET THEM GET TO YOU EITHER 💕🥹

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY | S1E2 "Battle at the Binary Stars"
[I will react to each episode individually and in full, raw reception and then post as is unrevised here onto my tumblr for the full span of every and all NuTrek episodes and series that have been and will be released. If this falls under your field of interest - I welcome your company in joining me. Enjoy the ride.] -------
god this show looks so fucking juicy with all its colours and shapes and resolution … BURNHAM IS SAREK'S WARD??????? bro bro is she a sibling in upbringing with spock or something. everyons so fucking pretty ugh these sounds i really want this uniform LMAO THAT LOOK SARU GIVES BURNHAM AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA saru is so good looking UGHH THIS INTRO I CANT I CANTTTT LOOK AT IT ITS SO PRETTYYY i love the feeling DISCO gives me im so happy for star trek getting such a massive visual and all around production upgrade also i just realised since old-trek's Star Trek Enterprise series, we have been inching closer and closer to the one that started it all. Star Trek ENTERPRISE > DISCOVERY > STRANGE NEW WORLDS…
does this… mean we are…. just possibly……… heading into a reprisal of some kind of "Origins" production in the future non-AOS?
if so i know it will never be a replacement of what is irreplacable. but im actually EXCITED to see something like that. if even it were to be a bad project, it would still be such a tickling spectacle - an experience that reminds us of where we came from.
but also.. to see what came before to be such a modern topic to discuss and potentially (i fucking wish) revive the world with its gravity and vision - all eyes on Star Trek once again……… it would be so worth it. it would be. everything.
anyways back to the episode LMAO UGHHH look at the way all the united federation ships warp in among their brethren ughhhhh ughhhhhhh takes my breath awaayy i like klingon whats odd is it sounds so slow in this rendition man the amount of work it took to get this pronunciation right ughhhh everything looks so pretty in this literally movie quality for a TREK series
no but also one more thing - back to the idea about the future of modern trek, since the movie saga has fallen flat, if we head into a modern revival of TOS, featuring AOS cast as a different universe/mirrorverse or seomthing cameo in TV/STREAMING EPISODIC FORMAT would be just… JUST-
...
i am so curious as to how and why burnham and sarek are even existing together simultaneously ugh damn look at the damage on the ship the detail i love saru's eyes hearing this as the ship's computer voice is so odd to me because im so used to Majel's voice but hey its smooth what is happening also oh my god this mind meld scene is so pretty oh my god im so curious how Burnham and Spock's dynamic even IS THE FUCKKK?? what would that even BE??? i only know spock exists because that is one of the few spoilers ive seen of this show - i KNOW hes in DISCO. as well as pike but thats it. what purpose they serve and why? no idea. and how burnham becomes captain?? god im so curious iits so intersting to hear statements as familiar as "weapons disabled" being said in such a new setting. with such a new sound for somehting so classic. tractor beam WHO WHOS EUROPA? WHATS ON THAT SHIP WHOOO
the human and klingon transmission will never be in peace… until far into TOS's timeline.. man this is so INTERESTING. HEARING KLINGON TERRAN. I CANT LIE i miss their fabulous long locks of hair bro klingon ship is fucking knifing through this ship dude that is so hardcore but also devastating af oh my god this antimatter explosion looks so fucking pretty admiral is gone the chian of command shifts how does this go phillipa doenst become admiral does she? then burnham as captain i doubt its this easy nah its so weird to hear klingon so spaced t'kuvma is such a cool name ughhhh lok at all the WARPPPING SHIPSSSS hearing klingon accent is cool love how smart the ship is oh god burnham you MADLAD yo they goin hard the klingon attire is so victorian english inspired not too keen on that ahha ughhh saru is sooo NICE TO LOOK AT such nice features this ready room is very reminiscent of what is to become enterprise internal design i mean, of course. but i just cant help but hype over it all thats interesting, to have a human taught as vulcan. hmm a subtly different circumstance than that of spock. the visual aberration effect is working well in this series ahaha DISCO has a very…. odd feeling from since its first episode that continues into its second one - it doesnt feel super episodic at all? it feels all like a really long montage. the sets are so pretty whoa those armoured vests though? touch screen energising ughh the gold animation of the energising effect is lovely those klingons dropped so fast and easy from those phasers dude these are some of the sexiest phaser designs ive ever seen. the klingons are just dropping like nothing whoa burnham's yell when the klingon grabbed her was so not her XD it didnt sound like her oh wow we are actually seeing the short handheld klingon knife OH SHIT well i see that this is how phllipa is usurped by burnham.. BRO YOU JUST LEFT HER BODY THERE hmmm interesting the pacing of the first two episodes is very… fast
t'kuvma is dead already?? i think its this pale klingon that ive seen on the comic cover whoaaaa all these shuttle/escape pods leaving like baby toads off momma's back XD (if you know, you know.) its so montagey very consistently - i guess THIS is where we start the series as it is to be? i really like this chiaroscuro lighting hm. its over already huh idk if its me - but apart from the visually and audially beautiful presentation - it has an odd feeling to it i cant lie. i think it must be because of this 2-episode montage. i hope it is.
i guess ill find out.

Wally anon: On the brightside, you can still retain some sense of authorial agency regardless of where S2 goes. Just think about Harringrove. ST tried to run away from it, but that ship still endures after all this time. 🙌
Exactly. We're thinking the same thoughts here. Teammates are easy to imagine for obvious reasons, but you know there was that one male cheerleader that held Wally's attention for a good year just for the novelty/fit of the uniform of it all. (I'd say a history teacher is a valid inclusion without verging into PLL territory. 80s clothes were notorious for how much they showed off without actually showing anything until things took a turn for boxy layering. So, I already know Wally would've been thinking about a different kind of historical landmark, if you feel me.)
Yeah💔. Great for him to explore without prying eyes interrupting, but terrible for anyone who wants to see the ways he loses it in his exploration (which, now that I'm thinking about it, the idea of a reader having a sort of Maddie/Simon dynamic that developd out of nowhere during one of his...explorations would be an interesting fic by itself).
HARRINGROVE UGH WHY CANT MY GAYS BE IN PEACE TOGETHER‼️ (not that i want steve to die—not until the end of season 5, at least) All I can think about is how Steddie wont survive after season 5 drops (I’m delusional, it’s painfully still the ship of the fandom 😭)
HISTORICAL LANDMARK IS WILD AND I LOVE IT
You’re so right though, he saw male cheerleaders in tight tees and shorts (like the ones he wears in the show) and couldn’t help but let his eyes drift from the cheerleader being tossed in the air to the guys waiting to catch her. Teammates, too. Maybe he had a crush on one of the guys and felt just a little too uncomfortable with the thought of tackling them during a scrimmage match. Hell, he definitely thought about guys from the other teams they faced when they took off their helmets and were searching in the crowd for their gfs. He didn’t do it in a weird way, but just wished they were looking at him, you know?
And yeah, he definitely thought about the teachers, too. Everyone and their mother had revealing clothing that just makes social situations like classroom discussions a little too distracting.
That’s so real, the thought of someone seeing him, but the acts he’s committing (whether it’s self pleasure or some kind of kink exploration) is almost too awkward to make you want to just go up and talk to him. So it’s like, you’re standing there waiting for anyone else to notice. Like, “does anyone else see this or is it just me?”

GETTING DEEP (i feel guilty for my thoughts and urges All of the time) IM OUT IF MY DEPTH AT A PUBLIC BEACH (i’m drowning. the storms out of control. i never learnt the weather (that was gods job!) why is it Up To Me WHY IS IT ME please i did. So Good God why are you doing this to me why am i being tested like this. if there was a god there’s no way he would make me queer. He Wouldn’t Do That To Me. not after all of this. there are Two Guys in this church who are GAY. whose the other guy. i don’t get the joke. he’s never gonna get it) I NEVER LISTENED I HAD TO SEE FOR MYSELF (i never listened. i tried i tried so hard. to be good. to be loveable. everyone can see it, that you hate me that you made me queer. i think i hate you too. i’m sorry. i know that’s why you’re testing me like this i’m sorry i tried to be better i tried to be a good follower to do everything you wanted. i just wanted someone to Like me. ive been asking for too much. going to their door I’m Here to convert you to fix you. standing in a storm begging god for a sign. i’m doing gods work. you can’t convert me no i’m stronger than that. i just Had to go see for myself. i wasn’t as strong as i thought)
ITS COMING IN WAVES SHOOTS THROUGH MY MIND LIKE A PINBALL STRAYED (i feel guilty every day i can’t get rid of those thoughts anymore the doubt the hatred the love the list every sin imaginable. throwing a party in my head. i’ll invite you god but i’m afraid you won’t come) FRIENDLY FIRE POINTBLANK (i should have done more with the gang. they’ve led me astray it’s Their Fault Not mine. i tried my best. i should have had a bible in the bar. in every room. we should have gone to church) SLAT IN MY LUNGS (no it’s my fault i cant blame them i shouldn’t blame them i know i’m sorry) HOLDING MY BREATH MAKING PEACE WITH MY INEVITABLE DEATH (this storm is going to drown me. it’s going to leave my body an unrecognisable mangled wreck. and nobody’s coming to the funeral. and nobody will pick me up afterwards and take me home. i’m going to die. there’s no surviving this. there’s no safe way out of the storm. mac almost drowning in the middle of this war the gang being thrown into purgatory for their sins mac walking in on his own accord to tell them he’s gay. he’s still seeing it as a sin. and that he’s turned his back on god. there was no way to live as Both gay and christian in his mind. jesus isn’t going to listen to us he’s just not cause we’re bad people. if he’s going to listen to anyone it will be mac. mac you’ve been talking to him your whole life he knows you mac he doesn’t even know who i am. save us. there’s no god! if i’m gay then there is no god. the gang deciding to drown in the brig on their own choice. dying together holding hands. mac nodding and reassuring dennis. holding hands with charlie “let’s go be with the gang” let’s die together as a group. he was prepared to drown in that storm, but at least he had the gang by his side. mac being the last person saved out of the sinking ship. the door opening the heavens shining the gang kicking and fighting their way up leaving mac the believer who saved them to drown. mac trying to pull them all back down. making peace with my inevitable death making peace going to hell with the gang. he can’t face god after what he’s done. immediately telling ‘the police’ he’s not gay because they got saved and that proved god was real and God Was Listening To Him. i’m not gay i’m not gay IM NOT GAY)
I GUESS I DID ALRIGHT CONSIDERING (mac turning to religion because of his parents neglect just wanting Someone to like him. Some form of comfort and contact with the world. Trust and Faith in Something else. something to blame something to explain why everyone treated bim like they did. surely i didn’t start out unloveable. someone will come along one day (it’s been too many one days at this point. only charlie dennis dee and frank have shown up. they still don’t like me really, just can’t get rid of me.) ronald macdonald destined to grow up a lonely clown. begging for a god to love him. i hate you god and i hate you dad i hate you mom are the same sentences. and its blasphemy to say any of them. i know i didn’t deserve that love who am i kidding myself i’ve always been weird and annoying i think they could all see the queer problem raging within me. i want to be able to hate you all. charlie dennis dee and frank included) TRIED TO BE A HALFWAY DECENT FRIEND WOUND UP A BAD COMEDIAN AN HONEST FOOL WITH MORE BAD HABITS THAN YOU CAN COUNT ( my friends don’t actually like me. they just can’t get rid of me i’m just There. i’m not going to leave i’ll cling onto this hatred because at least it’s Some form of human connection forever. it’s all i’ve got. i know i don’t deserve anything better and i’m selfish asking for it. but i cant stop begging. that’s just the sinner in me i guess. relentless. i TRIED to be good to be likeable but they’re sick of me anyways. they only keep me around to laugh at. to have something to make themselves feel better about. hey at least i’m not mac! i don’t think i’ve gone longer than a few hours without a drink since i was a child. since we all met. since i found god. is god at the bottom of this bottle or is it the devil is the booze what’s putting these thoughts in my head. a punishment for my gluttony. i’ll never find out. there’s too many bottles to search through)
THERE WE WERE WAS ANYONE EVER SO YOUNG (cat loves mac forever. we were so Young. and already miserable) BREAKING CURFEW WITH ILLEGAL FIREWORKS (doing anything and everything to get attention from your parents. screaming look at me look at me. even if it’s with hate and anger and violence. just see me. i never stopped being a baby screaming at the top of his lungs for love and affection) UNPACKIN GOD IN THE SUBURBS (charmac meeting the twins getting introduced and invited into their upper middle class lives. trying to argue about god insulting everything he’s done for them. at least i don’t have money tempting me to a life of sin. but dennis himself introducing a temptation now unable to be swatted away. the storm rages)
IM SWIMMING BACK (i’m learning how to control the storm. to find the eye of the tornado. understanding how the rain helps things grow. i think i’m growing. i don’t want to drown. saving myself because i’ve learnt there’s no lifeguards looking out for me. i’m going to survive. i’m gay.) SEE YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE IT BAD JUST CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW (dennis you can just go back in Go Back In GO BACK IN. no i think i’m out now. i didn’t get swallowed by the wave. i learnt to ride my own melt. you’ve been begging me to come out for years and now i have you cant take this away from me you can’t make it about you. i’m not moulding my life around what makes you comfortable. you’re gayer than me and ten times the sinner i’m not going to keep repenting for your mistakes anymore. i’m not killing myself just to give you my blood and heart. we made the closet our home and you blindfolded me, span me around and kicked me out of a moving plane. but i’m swimming back. with or without you.)
WRITING THE WORDS TO THE WORST LOVE SONG YOUVE EVER HEARD (but i love you. i’ll never stop. even with all this anger and pain and misery. i’ll love you forever. in every way there is (i’m finding new paths and new lives). i carved out a place for two and it’s empty without you. i’m not going to wait for you to learn to swim but there will always be a beach towel next to me, a life ring thrown into the water, a lifeboat if you drown. i’ll always be a lighthouse for you. i hope you can follow me out of the water.) SOUNDING OUT THE FOREIGN CHARACTERS (everything’s different and the Same after the storm. finding peace in the middle. a rainbow after the flood. i don’t know how to be this new person i don’t know if i feel very Proud yet. but i’m trying) AN INCANTATION LIKE AN ANTICURSE (mac being the only one in the gang gets cursed to Not be cursed. just his own behaviour and actions. coming out, having his emotional evolution. the storms been lifted. i’m not longer cursed. and as long as it keeps me safe and happy i won’t stop saying it out loud) OR EVEN A BLESSING (my religion and my sexuality are at war. but i’m not in the middle of it anymore. i avoided the draft! i signed my own peace treaty. and it didn’t solve every problem in my life but. i can breathe again)
