Hi hi hello yes I’d like to share a thought with you
George having an “off day” with his emotions, but being too shy to bring it up to Sapnap and Dream. So he’s basically just moping around the house all day and being super stand-offish when asked about what’s wrong. Eventually the day comes to an end and George is too tired to fight off his roommates concerns—which leads to a whole fest of emotions and reassurances—and after all is said and done, the Dream Team is piled up in Dreams bed (bc I HC that it has to be the comfiest and biggest out of the three).
So now starts operation ‘Cheer Up George, But He’s Tired And Clingy’. Which consists of lots of physical touch, gently spoken words, and a few movies. Lots of gentle traces up and down George’s arms, back rubs that linger on his ribs, kind words whispered a little too close to his ear: Basically enough to put a smile on his face, and maybe get a few giggles, but not too much as to break the calm, healing atmosphere.
When they all wake up the next morning, George is pretty embarrassed about the whole situation, but he finds that it’s much easier to talk about his feelings.
AMITY....
literally i love when the boys are so extremely soft with george to the point he doesnt know what to do except giggle all softly. one time @awkwardtickleetoo + i hc'd george being treated so nice he got all teary eyed 🥺 my lil baby cat <3
but ANYWAY.....yes yes yes yes yES
first things first - george should never have an off day ever!!!! I will fight anything and everything making him have an off day!!!!!!!! he can only have good fun days!!!!!!!!!!!
okay so
sapnap and dream would ask him what he's feeling and if anything is wrong a few times throughout the morning, not really getting an answer just brushing it off as him being tired. eventually they ask more as the day goes on and george, already antsy and agitated, snaps slightly. which...dream and sap have been the targets of george's frustrations before, they all have with each other, but this felt...different? they realize this isn't just something he's grumpy about, he seems to just be completely worn out, physically and mentally. they cant really do much as he storms away to his room
later on in the night, sap and dream are spread out on dreams huge bed, just watching movies and talking to pass the time. they hear a noise from the doorway and there is a very sleepy looking george, having just woken up from a few hours long nap. the two just signal for him to come over, dream gripping him as soon as he can reach and pulling him onto the bed between him and sapnap
they don't ask what was bothering him, they just immediately start showering him with compliments, telling him how pretty he is, how smart he is, how good he was to let his emotions ride out. george is blushing like crazy, and the huge smile on his face only gets bigger when dream and sapnap start tracing their fingers up george's forearm, up to his triceps and back down again. he's squirmy and he lets out these little giggles and huffs of air, trying not to laugh and disturb the peaceful space that they had created
george eventually breaks slightly when they're tracing his back, these high pitched chirpy giggles flowing out of him even as he shoved his face into the pillow under him. sapnap had been tracing the left side of george's back idly, not realizing how his fingers traced over the back of his ribs until george squeaked. sapnap apologized but george could tell he was smiling, knowing that this wasn't going to end any time soon
dream joins in after a few minutes and the two just trace over this incredibly sensitive spot, but incredibly slow and gentle so that it's not as overwhelming. they're both praising him for how good he's being, how he's tough for trying his best to stay still, how adorable his little giggles are when he's trying to hold them in. george thinks he'll never unhide his face again when he feels stubble pressed against his ears, both dream and sapnap now trying to whisper these compliments directly into his ear. his giggles are still soft and light, but he flings his head back and surprised, causing them to all laugh when sapnap and dream bumped heads
after that, they just fall into this huge cuddle pile, dream getting snacks while sapnap has george pick movie after movie, until they all fall asleep. when they wake up the next morning, george is the last one awake, being woken up with the nicest back rub he's ever experienced. when he was awake enough, he turned his face to hide into the pillow again, bc he's blushing an insane amount as the memories of the night before come flooding back
but sapnap and dream are determined, and eventually they coax him out of hiding, giving george the space to talk about everything that was going on. and if he didn't wanna talk about it, sapnap and dream knew what they could do instead 🥺

OUGH so i just typed out a bunch of fun facts about leeches....
tw for discussion of blood, disease transmission, & animal defecation!
most species of leech dont feed on humans, they tend to be very specialized to feed on a specific animal (often fish and amphibians!)
some leeches dont drink blood at all & instead are carnivores eating things like earthworms or slugs!!
its not very likely to get a serious illness from a leech even in the wild because of the way their mouthparts work, the most likely way to get a bloodborne disease from a leech is actually to grab it and yank it off bc that may make it regurgitate the blood in its tummy out of stress!! it is however entirely possible for the bite itself to get infected bc wild leeches tend to live in pond or swamp water which isnt known for being sanitary lol, so if you are bitten by a wild leech definitely clean the wound as best you can, apply pressure, and seek medical assistance just in case!!
the best way to remove a leech is to run your fingernail (or a credit card or similar thin sturdy water-resistant material) under the edge of its face, bc it latches on using a suction cup (like an octopus! there's a suction cup on its face & one on the end of its tail! the face is on the narrower end btw, the fat end is its big ol butt <3) so if you gently break the suction seal it'll just fall off!
leech "bites" can bleed a lot bc their saliva has anticoagulant properties, so leeches are the most dangerous to ppl who have hemophilia or another bleeding disorder!!
leeches dont really have fangs, they have a tiny Y-shaped jaw with microscopic "teeth", almost like a weird little saw, and they use that to break the skin & use their suction cup to latch onto the tiny wound and just sort of free-feed as the blood flows out!!
they also dont drink a huge amount of blood tbh, especially if its just one of them (though they do tend to live in large groups), but the anticoagulant can cause you to bleed (not gushing, more like a steady leak?) for hours after the leech lets go, so its good to apply pressure with clean bandages after being bit!!
leeches are used in medicine to this day!!
you can also keep them as pets, theyre one of the few truly low-maintenance animals, they just need dechlorinated water, some gravel (for rubbing against to help shed their skin), a hidey hole or two, & for their water to be cleaned every so often!! they can live in surprisingly small enclosures, but it definitely doesnt hurt to give them space to explore :) they do also prefer darkness though, so its best to make sure they're shaded from any bright lights or windows!!
leeches like to live with other leeches!!! they will actually curl up together and at least one study has shown that they release oxytocin when "cuddling" with each other (the same brain chemical that's released when, for example, a mother cuddles her baby!!)
its generally ok to keep leeches of the same species together, they arent likely to attack each other unless one of them is full of warm blood & another is hungry!! this is why its best to feed your leeches around the same time & if one refuses to eat, keep it in a separate tank from the ones that have eaten until the full ones defecate and/or the empty one eats!!
adult Hirudo verbana (the modern "medicinal leech" bc the similar, historically used Hirudo medicinalis is endangered) can feed as infrequently as once or twice a year!! they'll digest their meal over a long period of time and (if i recall correctly?) tend to defecate it all at once!! it'll be pretty obvious when your leech does a poop (they'll release dark fluid into the water, this is just whats left of the blood once it nutrients have been absorbed) so clean their water as soon as you notice that xP
some leech owners feed them their own blood, but others will buy unsalted (important!! salt can kill them!!) pork blood from butchers or some deli markets, put that blood in a plastic bag or sausage casing, and warm it up in a bowl of warm water & let the leeches feed on that!!
Hirudo verbana are more colorful than you might think! they have patterns along their back in varying shades of orange, dark green, and brown, while their bellies are a lighter tan color!!
ok ill stop now hehe >w<

hey guys im BACK baby and i have some words
here are links so you can still find everything, but be wary that these links are probably gonna break any minute when i start moving everything around. lets hope i can remember to fix them and that i dont take a year to get to doing that: ARCHIVE    MY ART    OTHER ORGANIZATION TAGS
IM STILL ALIVE. i like to think that i never rlly left, but I havent posted in a damn while and part of that is because life stuff caught up with me and moreso because uhhhhhh Well im not quite satisfied with the way my blogs formatted right now, it makes posting and organizing and navigating harder than it has to be and it makes it Not Fun to post things.
SO. what we're gonna do is revamp things a lil bit. we're fucking doing this we are Making It Happen. what this'll do is itll make it easier for me to post things without having to remember every silly tag and rule i have set up here, and ill also just have a bit more of a laid-back and fun kinda art blog. i tried to do an elaborate tagging system, but MAN i am too forgetful for that.
so im just gonna keep it simple. character, fandom, content warnings, and maybe some other flavourtags. the sorts of things thatll make it easier for me to just pop up a quick drawing on even a busy day without having to go through a silly step by step process on how to tag things. because i love sharing my art and posting :)) but not so much when it is difficult </3
but hell who knows how thisll go after i reboot my bloggo. i think she was due for some maintenance for a long while. *pats the sidebar like you would soothe an agitated horse* there there girl, its gonna be alright. maybe ill even start making... casual posts? text posts? things like that??? damn Maybe.
im also gonna private some organization posts until i can properly wrangle then and sort out their kinks and oddities, and im gonna disable my blog theme for a bit. when i get a braincell on how to do an html and a css properly, THEN i can have a pretty theme. in the meantime, ill probably just set myself up with one of the tumblr defaults.
anyways. *ahem* for anyone who doesnt know me and this is their first stumble upon my blog while i move things around. feel free to click the read more if you want to subject yourself to the silliest introduction i could make for myself possible.
hi. i like to draw but lately my art skills have been a bit shakey, i think im out of practice so im probably gonna start out doing some studies. my styles and designs for characters are always changing, but lately ive been trying to cement some designs that are in my brain Onto Paper.
im goblinrockcandy but you can call me GRC if that's a mouthful (thats what i call me because i do not have time for 5 syllables). im a Knight of Heart and sometimes that gets shortened to KoH and so sometimes people call me koh. now KOH is also the chemical formula for potassium hydroxide, but no one calls me that (a real shame, it flows right off the tongue and i think its a lovely set of sounds), but potassium hydroxide also goes by another name and that is lye. so sometimes people call me lye. i don't have a name so if you want to refer to me you have to get creative or pick up my blog by the scruff of its handle like a really ugly cat and point at it and say "this motherfucker right here".
same goes for pronouns. my pronouns are none/applicable. you gotta BE CREATIVE if you want to refer to me... pronouns are a crutch. they were your training wheels and now im the final boss. you have to fight me with your other words, this is what you have been training for.......
im trans queer person of colour, painfully unfunny and addicted to bad jokes, and i love homestuck. my faves switch up every once in a blood moon but right now i really fuckin love jake english. you might have discerned that by the very subtle hints of I talk about Him all the time & dirt striber avatar.

22, 30, 48 for the fanfic ask meme! <3
the fanfic ask meme! thanks @gracerene, always happy & excited to talk writing :)
22: describe your writing process from scratch to finish.
omg what a question! Okay, so I’ve always started out with a one sentence premise that inspires me. For ‘A Case of You’, I was listening to River by Joni Mitchell and thought of Harry & Draco breaking up at Christmas. For my current wip, I thought of Draco being invited to the Burrow from Christmas right after the War (both of these are Christmas inspirations, though neither really end up being a Christmas story!). From there, it just flows—why would Harry and Draco break up at Christmas? Where would Draco go after breaking up? Why would he return to England?
I work forward & backward, and normally end up with a pretty good idea of the major beats of the story before writing (though these end up changing throughout the process) & have super long, disorganized notes documents where I write down/order a basic outline. I then write semi-chronologically, but also just write the scene that inspires me that day! I really try to vomit it all out, without going back to edit while writing, & refine/cut/add in missing scenes or character motivation etc, during editing, which can go more or less smoothly. Really excited to edit my current wip NOT on a fest timeline lol.
30: most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you.
I wouldn’t say I have any good quotable quotes about writing (one of my 2023 goals: read more books about writing craft!), so I’m going to leave you with a quote from a @wistfulrat post about drarry:
hey rmr in scaredy cat when draco says “I should be able to deserve a boyfriend who loves me, and you should be able to resent me—both at the same time. You deserve that.” and then a little later it’s “You have to give up your right to resent me,” he said. “Okay,” said Harry, easily.
and doesnt that make u insane when ur reading a fic that truly gets this dynamic (seefin’s wild, lettered’s by the grace etc.) bc ppl arent owed resolutions or closure or forgiveness and yet!! there is something fundamentally surprising and kind when u get them. i love that shit gimme 75 more fics like that
This lives in my mind rent-free when I write drarry & what I find so compelling about drarry: what is forgiveness?, what is being “good enough” for someone?, what is “redemption”?, etc. This is always why I gravitate towards reading & writing drarry that doesn't make anything easy in their relationship—the love they can find for each other is hard-won.
48: do you reread your own stories? 
NOT YET (beyond editing), but absolutely plan to because I AM writing the stories that I like to read and that's so fun & one reason I love doing this :)

Really tho, the main reasons I want to learn Japanese are: to be able to read untranslated manga & to maybe play unported jrpgs (if I got my hands onto a Japanese system)
Cultural knowledge is great & all but like. Learning a language is Hard Work. I'm not gonna learn a whole language if I don't have smth in mind to USE it for. & for this? My reasons are . Hobbies
#speculation nation#theres also the maybe eventual goal of visiting japan myself but that would be a far off thing#honestly i love that spanish & japanese r my languages of choice bc they rly do share a lot of the same phonetic sounds#i cant idly ramble to myself in japanese yet like i do in spanish#(thats how i keep even slightly in practice with my spanish. i just ramble to myself)#but ive taken to rambling in spanish but inserting japanese words im learning. Just Cause i guess#& it really doesnt break up the flow! it's pretty fun.#im certain id have an accent for both these languages But it's not as much as it could be#considering i was taught spanish in elementary school. barely remembered any of it. but it had me learning how to make those sounds#since like phonetics r smth you Learn as a kid. & you cant rly learn them when youre older.#you can Replicate them but it's not quite the same. aka why you can have ppl completely fluent in another language#but still have a heavy accent.#my spanish teacher in high school used me as an example to the class for Good Pronunciation. im still kinda proud of that lol#AND since spanish & japanese share a similar set of phonetics. in the way words are spoken. it works out well for me.#not Completely the same. like h being silent in spanish but not in japanese. & j being the h sound in spanish but j in japanese#sounds like tsu and double consonants (like kippu) & stuff like that in japanese#the ü in spanish for things like pingüino. i think i spelled that right#there ARE differences. but the key part being vowels are spoken pretty similarly.#theres no 'a' being bag or ball or bar or and or ANY number of different pronunciations for the same letter#an a is an a in both spanish and japanese and i REALLY appreciate that. pronunciations just make SENSE in these languages#... except for things like 'su' in japanese. like sasuke that 'su' being like a short s. & probs some other exceptions#OK THERE R EXCEPTIONS but overall they r nice to speak ok that's it that's the post goodnight

How did Saffron meet the gf?
OHH ANON. ILY. OC TIME. it's very unlikely i'll ever actually write the whole stories out but ocs are a fun thing to think about
First of all, who is Saffron? Saffron is a lizard. She is a shapeshifter technically so she could be whatever but sometime in life she decided she wanted to be a lizard, so she is.
Tumblr media
here's a super old 2018-ish picture of her and the gf, Riley. Riley is actually the One Oc To Start Them All, meaning i made Riley first because of a Kirby Theme Week back when I used Amino (don't use amino it's bad).
These two mfers are the protags of one of the main stories of my Oc Cinematic Universe, Starlight Wishes (the other being Devil's Double staring Jay and Eni, because I like coming up with snappy names)
So. Backstory. One day, Jay, Saffron's brother, was walking through the woods (as you do) stepped on a live unexploded landmine (as you do when you are European, except this is Modern with Magic Europe, so it's not Europe).
this is because Jay started as an isekai self insert, which he still kinda is, and i decided life unexploded landmine was the funniest way to die
After the whole explosion thing, Jay met god. God is One of Two Gods, and she is a spider. I've currently forgotten her name but i have it written in a world file somewhere. Her name starts with T.
God is divorced, and her ex, Rinthera, is the death to her life. He's the god of death. Their divorce was messy. She found out some idiots are trying to resurrect her ex (read as: wake him from his post tantrum nap), and she really doesnt want to deal with this. Thus, she makes a deal with Jay: get back to life, and in return, prevent the ritual that'll call Rinthera to the physical plane of existence.
Except, when she drops Jay back down to earth, she makes a critical mistake: not accounting for the fact he was blown sky high and she snatched him right out the air. He falls. He hits his head. You can imagine what happens because this is fantasy tropes land: he loses his memory, and thus also his memory of the deal he made with god.
(this is the inciting incident for devil's double, which i will cease talking about)
result of losing your memory: you go MIA. Saffron gets annoyed. Then, she gets worried. Then, she sets out to search for him.
She's not very successful. She travels with a big sword because I think big swords are cool. So she ends up becoming like, a lizard swordswoman bounty hunter type shit. She WILL do your sidequests for you, that kind of deal.
One day, while she is out doing stuff, she hears tale of a dragon ravaging the fields of some farmer. She gets there, only to find out that the dragon is,,,,, a big doll. A really big life sized stuffed dragon doll that can also spit fire.
Said dragon is terrorizing a certified Maiden In Distress: long flowing hair, pretty petite dress, that type of deal. Saffron, being Saffron, defeats the doll dragon with her superior reptilian might, and approaches the girl. The girl, as it turns out, did not need rescuing, because she is a ghost, and thus, already dead.
As you might guess, this ghost is Riley, the deuteragonist / love interest of Starlight Wishes, the story I came up with when I was fixating on Kirby.
Riley says that there's basically just a whole outbreak of doll monsters, and she wants Saffron's help to stop them, since Riley has no physical form of her own. However, Riley can provide backup by possessing the dolls Saffron defeats!
Thus, we get to the entire plot of that particular story, in which the various ups and downs of hunting dolls together.
The two of 'em are pretty friendly with each other initially, buuuuut. Riley's not entirely honest. Such as the reason why she's a ghost to begin with, and what her unfinished business entails besides the whole doll deal.
I dunno if I wanna say it because it's like, the big plottwist of the whole thing, but I'm also prolly never gonna write it all so. Riley was killed by a knight because she was an "evil" wizard who just kept creating a fuckton of dolls that ended up going out of her control bcuz she was lonely :( why'd you kill her camilla. wait i know why, because you don't give a shit. c'mon camilla.
I genuienly can't get into the clusterfuck of a love confession for these two without explaining literally everything because it takes places at the story climax and it is very dramatic, involves a dragon besides the doll one, death lazers, screaming, the mortifying ideal of being loved, and kirby bossfight aesthetics, because i used to think of it more like a kirby fangame than a story, ykno.
After that whole world destruction deal is resolved and both of them get mental stability they realize they do love each other a lot and get together after Riley pulls shenanigans on a minor deity to get her body back. Hooray for necromancy! Shouldn't have abandoned your pet dragon if you didn't want that to happen, should you, god?!
Does Saffron actually end up finding Jay at some point? Yeah, when she goes home after a long day of doing sidequests with her gf and she turns on the TV to breaking news.
Love wins <3

Quarantine Series: Burnt Out
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Summary: Y/N has to work from home during Quarantine, but when she gets extremely busy it’s up to Tom to find a way to help her relax .
A/N: This is my second attempt at this piece. Last time I created this it was super long but it got deleted 😩
Check the Rest: Burnt Out | A New Look | Secret Cuts & Kisses | Breaking Friendships |The Birthday Week | Movie Night | Silence is Golden?|
Tumblr media
All Y/N ever wanted was an opportunity to work from home. Then again, who wouldn't want that opportunity? All she could think about was how nice it’d be to work in the comfort of her own home, not have to dress up in business professional clothing, and most importantly be surrounded by the people she cared for the most. But as the saying goes, “Be careful for what you wish for.”
When a global pandemic decided to take over 2020, Y/N certainly got her wish. Her company was forced to work from home until further notice, but what she didn’t expect was the amount of work she would be given. Y/N was pulled from project to project with deadlines thin as paper, and was expected to pick up the extra work of those that were no longer with the company. There was no time to catch a breath, and there certainly was no time to spend with her beloved boyfriend, Tom. This only made Y/N more depressed and made the Holland boys only more concerned.
“Mate, you got to get her to take a break. She’s gonna overdo it.” Harrison commented to his best friend, as they watched Y/N type away like a zombie from the kitchen.
“You think I don’t know that?!” Tom responded with a defeated sigh. “Every time I ask her, she always brushes it off and claims shes fine. Don't get me wrong, Im proud of her and admire her work ethic, but damn its sucking the life out of her.”
Both Harrison and Tom continued to observe Y/N with a cup of tea on hand, wondering how long it would take before she snapped. Tom hated seeing her like this. To him this wasn’t fair. It’s not fair that her 8 hour shift now became a 15 hr shift. Its not fair that she had to work 3 weekends straight, and it certainly wasn’t fair that her company took precious time away to be together. It was hard enough already that he couldn’t spend time with Y/N like a normal boyfriend would because of filming. Now, that he has the opportunity to make up for the lost time, it’s taken away.
“What if you surprised her?” Harrison quipped.
Tom looked up at his best friend with curious eyes. It took a few minutes to sink in, until the brightest idea figuratively smacked him in the face. “Yeah...yeah!” he responded, a smile forming “And I think I know exactly how to do it.”
As Tom was working through the thought process of his brilliant plan, his younger brother entered the kitchen, looking for his usual afternoon snack. “Hey, does anyone know where —. Oh no...” Harry groaned as he looked up at Tom and Harry. “Whatever it is that you two are planning...Leave me out of it.”
“Come on, mate. You dont even know what were planning.” Harrison defended
“Believe me, I know enough and any plan that involves you in it, is likely to fail 99.9% of the time.” Harry opened up his bag of crisps as he continued to list out the other 99 possible reason why they should have left Y/N alone like she wanted. “Cmon guys, you know how she gets. When she doesnt want to be bothered, she doesnt want to be bothered.”
“You’re right Harry, but she’s so stressed, she’s homesick, and one day she’s going to overdo it. Id be a shit boyfriend, if I let it happen.” Tom reasoned. “Look, Im not trying to do anything crazy here. I just want to give her that sense of comfort and see her relax.”
Harry looked at his brother and then at Harrison, both displaying their best puppy dog eyes, in hopes that he’ll join in. “The face doesnt work on me...but I’ll help for Y/N’s sake.”
Meanwhile, Y/N continued her work in the living room, her eyes firmly glued to the computer screen. After being dragged into the kitchen and the Holland plan, Tuwaine slowly made his way to Y/N. “Hey Y/N.” he happily greeted. “I think it’s time for you get some fresh air, don’t you think?”
Y/N looked up, her glasses slightly shifting forward down her nose. “You know theres this thing called being stuck in Quaratine right?” she responded, continuing to code her project.
“I think the real question is do you really want to work here when there’s just nothing but CONSTANT NOISE !” Tuwaine yelled out, hoping the others would catch on.
“What?!” Tom yelled back. It took him some time to realize what Tuwaine meant by his statement. “Oh...Right!” Quickly, Tom grabbed whatever pot or pan he could grab his hands on and dropped them on the counter. Harrison and Harry gave Tom the strangest look. “What? I gave him some noise?”, he shrugged.
“See?” Tuwaine smiled back at Y/N. “You wouldnt want to distract that working brain of yours with all this going on, right?” Y/N furrowed her eyebrows as Tuwaine as she looked at him and the closed off kitchen. Did they think she was born yesterday? Of course she knew they were up to something. None of the boys were subtle enough to keep everything hush hush.
Y/N shook her head and decided to just go with it. The faster she complied, the faster they’d leave her alone, which only meant more time to finish her work. Tuwaine helped carry her laptop, mouse, and charger to the porch as he led her outside. “See, arent you glad your outside, breathing in fresh air with no distractions?”, Tuwaine spoke out.
Y/N took her time to admire the view. “Wow”, she whispered under her breath. Y/N couldnt remember the last time she set foot outdoors. Seeing the sunlight hit the flower beds, the gentle breeze rustle through the grass; it was beautiful. Of course, the moment was short lived with a simple ding, which only multiplied by the second.
Y/N dripped her head back, trying to rub out the frustration from her face. “Yes, well it was fun while it lasted. Duty calls.”
“Im sure they wouldnt mind if you just took five minutes for yourself at least.” Tuwaine commented, feeling bad about the amount of work he saw popping up on your screen.
“Yeah well that’s Corporate for you. Doesnt matter if you’re 500 km away or if a virus is hurting the population. If you’re not working, you’re useless.” Y/N shrugs. It wasn’t like her company was completely evil, this was just how business worked.
“I know Y/N, and we all see that you care deeply about your work but we’re all so worried about you too. We want you to be mentally okay as well. I know Tom is worried about you the most...He misses you, you know.”
Y/N’s heart dropped the second she heard him say it. She knew that all of this was gonna take some time away from Tom, but she hadn’t realized how much he would be missing her, even though they’re living under the same roof. “Yeah I miss him too, more than anyone will know. Believe me.” Y/N pondered for a moment as she stared at the work in front of her. Perhaps five minutes couldn’t hurt. “Maybe I will take that break after all.”
“Really?”, Tuwaine was surprised she had agreed so quickly, and at the same time he panicked. Tom and the others were not ready for Y/N’s surprise yet. “On second thought, Im wrong. You should keep going and try to finish up that project of yours or else you’ll never be done.”
“Excuse me?” Y/N asked as she tried to close her laptop. “You just spent a whole half hour trying to convince me to stop working, and now you want me to go back and work?”
“Yeah..I mean what do I know, right?” He laughed nervously. Tuwaine looked back at the door, for some sort of signal. Come on man it’s not like your preparing a break for the Queen of England.
“Listen Tuwaine, if I go back there and you boys break anything in that house...I swear— I’ll”
“Y/N!” Tom interjected as he stepped out to the porch. He wrapped his arms behind her waist, giving her a gently kiss on the top of her head. “How’s work, my pretty girl?” He looked back at Tuwaine and mouthed a thank you to him as he left the love birds alone.
Y/N turned around to face Tom, taking in his features and running her hands at the nape of his neck. “Busy, but what else is new? I’ve been missing you a whole lot”
“Me too, darling. Anyway, Im really hoping you can take a break from all this because I’ve got something special for you.”
“Oh no, babe. You know you didnt have to anything for me. Really Im fine..I-“
“I wanted to. In fact the boys wanted in on it too. So this is really from all of us, if you think about it.” Tom grabbed Y/N’s hand as he led her back in to house. “Come.”
As they both enetered the house hand in hand, Tom led Y/N into the kitchen, where the rest of the boys waited with diner burgers in hand and warm homemade chocolate chip cookies on the side of table. What seemed like a simple meal was a cure for any bad day..at least for Y/N it was. It represented a sense of home for her, while being far from Jersey. Even though she hadnt realized it, Tom and the boys knew she needed it. “Wow” Y/N breathed “I...I dont know what to say.”
“Dont say, just eat” Harrison laughed. “In all honesty this was Tom’s idea. We just wanted to make sure you had the support you need.”
“Yeah you deserve this, so please enjoy it.” Harry added. With that, everyone dug in and bonded over a family dinner, sharing laughs and stories. Tom leaned toward Y/N whispering in her ear, “I have a few more surprises after this.”
The next few surprises did not disappointment. He set up a nice warm bath for the two of them to relax and enjoy each others compny. A few subtle kisses, laughter, and silence was shared between the two. Y/N leaned back into Tom’s chest, feeling the water gently flow back and forth. Breathing in and out, she had forgotten how good this felt. Being close to Tom, was a different experience, one that no one could ever do justice. This was what she really needed.
After the bath, Tom led her into their shared bedroom. For a moment, Y/N stopped him as she pulled his head down to hers, giving him the kiss he rightfully deserved. Her lips crashed with his, his hands gently holding the sides of her tiny face. He picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and situated themselves on the bed. Reluctantly, they both pulled away, catching their breath. Their foreheads touching and noses gently rubbing the others. “I love you. I love you more than you could possibly know.” Y/N whispered to him
“And I love you. I just want to give you the world because you deserve it all. My hardworking pretty girl.” Of course all good things must come to an end.
After a great well spent break was shared between Y/N and Tom, she was back on the work grind. Only this time she was working in their room as Tom was reading a script for his next upcoming project. The more Y/N coded, the sleepier she was getting. It onyl took a few minutes before she started leaning into Tom and her eyes started to flutter. Her breaths became slower and she was out like a light.
Tom turned to look at Y/N, smiling to see the sight of her finally at peace. He removed her glasses and set them by her table side. Tom made sure to clock her out of work abd checked to see if her work was saved. Just as he was about to turn off her laptop, another message popped up. “Great”, he muttered, rolling his eyes at the fact her team is still working at this hour. He couldnt help but read it though. Just how badly did they need her anyway?
We all know how hard you’re working and going above and beyond to get these projects out the door. For that, we thank you! On behalf of the company we’d like you all to take a day off on us!
Tom smiled, relieved that shell finally get some time for herself. Feeling triumphant, he shut off her laptop and set it aside. Crawling back into the bed and covering themselves under the blanket. His arms wrapped her waist once again. “Goodnight, my love. Im so proud of you.” he whispered.

Future Hope
chapter one - Where it all began.
We all thought the new decade would be a new fresh start, a new beginning for humanity, we were all so excited for the the arrival of 2020... and it's unknown horrors that we awaited along with it.
it started with just jokes and memes, the virus wasnt affecting us, it didnt seem like a big deal. Then it reached Italy, then the United States. In a span of three months, the entire world changed and was affected by COVID-19. Then it happened.. the attack and sudden uprising of those who had privilege, but didnt know of it's power..
it started with the Black Lives Matter Protests, but it got worst, so unhumaningly worse. People around the country and the world tried to help and stop this evil, but it wasnt enough to stop them. The White Suprimacy.
Death, despair, anguish, loss for hope... What has the world come to?
Even after two years of the incident, in the year of 2022, the same horrors from before was still going on. No one could stop them, those who tried were imprisioned or now buried six feet under, people gave up, they lost hope... Until a new reason for that hope arrived.
It started as a friendship group. Eight people of different kinds, intetrests and hobbies brought together by a common interest, which soon grew into an unbreakable bond, sharing pictures or tagging one another with a funny meme attached to it, simple acts but filled with love.. Until this group almost lost a member.
A fight was happening while she was visiting a store, it was between a simple teen wearing a pride shirt and a middle aged man, bickering and arguing issued, but no one expected the man to pull out a gun and attempt to shoot the kid... Only to miss, and shoot the beloved group friend...
She was texting her friends while it happened, only for them to not hear anything for weeks... But she finally replied, after weeks in the hospital, recovering from the shot. One of the members couldnt have it anymore, and kindly asked for everyone to create a Discord account so they could all see how their wounded friend was doing. Everyone agreed, and surprised her with a call.
Maria was her name, and she couldnt be more delighted about the surprise..
"Yo! Yooo Bitch can you see us?!" Shouted one friend from their call
"For fuck's sake Spike the woman was shot and you have to call her a bitch?!" Rudely replied another friend, who's background was dark and gloomy and had far too many halloween decorations.
Maria laughed softly. "It's OK Spooks.. Wow.. I cant believe Im seeing you all.. Just wished it wasnt at the hospital through a videochat..." She said with a soft smile.
"It is truly a concerning situation we've been dragged into.. but it brings me joy to see you alive and well Maria" Said another friend, looking a little too-well dressed in the call
"Im guessing Griff begged you all to make a Discord huh..?" Maria said, looking at the video box of young man with a concerned yet and embarrassed look.
"Queen... We were so worried..." He answered, slightly choked up. "We thought you were a goner.. When you finally texted back I..I just had to see you..!"
Queen. A nickname she never thought someone would ever call her, hell it was a title that she didnt even deserve. Until she met Griff, which started to call her that, and her other friends jumped along, she always loved that nickname.. Made her feel special...
"Seeing you all together... All for me... It makes me want to cry.. But we dont have time for me getting emocional" Maria answered, suddenly stern
"Why is that Queen? Something going on?" Answered another friend, who was sucking on a lollipop during the call, such the sweet tooth she is.
Maria smiled. "No Muffin.. I simply have a proposal for you all.. And I hope you all are in with me...Because Im getting pretty sick of the way things are in this shit world.."
And so was born a new hope, a group of fighters that are indignified about the way things are, and how they almost took their friend away.
After healing completly at the hospital, they all met in person for the first time. Maria told them that they way they are now wont be enough to make a change to the world, but she knew how to fix that. After a small walk through the woods in the park, they came through a gated area, which Maria crawled under a broken spot of the gate and the others followed, doing the same.
"Long ago" Maria started speaking. "After I moved here, I decided to explore around this park for fun. That's when I found this abandoned gate and went through the same broken piece of wall of the gate we all came through, I believe that's here can help us become better then we already are."
Spike, chewing a piece of gum sneered at her comment. "Oh sure, what is it? A wishing well?"
"Well..." She answered as they came to a stop.
In front of them was a perfectly clean, almost sparkling fountain with clean crystal water still working and flowing out of an angel's vase. The fountain was too bright and shiny, it sure as hell didnt match the rest of the area's gloomy and dark visuals..
"It's a wishing fountain!" Maria spouted out, smiling wide. But the rest werent as.. cheery as she was.
"A fucking... wishing fountain?" Spike answered. "You expect me to believe that's a real wishing fountain? If that's true then why dont you wish for this shit world to become better?"
"I tried!" Maria answered "Apperently it doesnt make big wishes like that, it only makes wishes about yourself or something very small. Like wishing your room to be clean kind of small"
"I mean.. It kinda has that magic aesthetic, I mean, that thing is impeccably clean while the rest is covered in dirt?" Kip answered, glancing at the fountain.
"I know it sounds silly but it really works, I actually did my wish already!" Maria said smiling wide
"Bullshit" Spike answered "You aint a fucking Werewolf, what makes you think we believe you actually wished to be one?"
".. Cause I didnt wished to be a Werewolf..?" Maria answered, dumbfounded. "I always said that I LIKE Werewolves, but I never wanted to be one. I wished to be good at using a scythe and knife throwing, like exceptionally good ya know?" She said excitedly. "And before you answer, YES I do have a scythe, I bought one. Dont ask where."
"So... who goes first?" The smollest of the group, Rook, asked.
"I'll go" Said Griff, pulling out a coin before Maria stopped in this tracks. "This.. Doesnt accept coins" Maria said, seeming a bit worried.
"Then what?" Griff answered back, only to shocked when Maria answered "Blood".
Before Spike could throw a fit, Maria cut him. "Just a drop! Literally! I got a needle here with me, all you gotta do is prick your hand and let the drip fall after you make a wish."
"Let's just get on with it before Spike goes crazy again" Said Blink, the tallest of the group and the one to deal with Spike's bullcrap
Griff took Maria's needle and stood in front of the fountain...And said outloud his wish..
At first he whispered his wish, as if he didnt want anyone to hear it.
"Uh.. It has to be out loud or it wont work Griff." Maria said.
"I-I said.. I wish to be a strong, masculine and really beefy Wererabbit that's really manly and buffed up!!" he shouted with a tone of embarrassment in his voice.
"A Werebunny.. Griffy?" Said Maria in disbelief. "What?! It's co- ow!!" Without looking, he pricked his hand with the needle, and let the drop of blood fall into the fountain's water, mixing along with it. The fountain suddenly shined so brightly that everyone had to cover their eyes for a brief moment before it died out.
Then.. Silence.
"... So.. Now wh-AHCK!!!" Shouted Griff, hit with a sudden shot of pain throughout his body, which made him fall on his knees as everyone backed away from him. They watched in horror as not only he grew almost three times his size, but he got much fuzzier, his ears stretched into rabbit ears, his muscles swelled and bubbled as they grew bigger, his body shifted painfully into a hybrid between man and rabbit. When he finally finished, he just collapsed on the floor, panting exaustedly.
His friends were inicially shocked, until Maria snapped out of it and rushed to his side, placing a hand on his head. "Griffy? You OK..?"
He answered, in a much gruffer, deeper voice.. "Yeah.. Yeah Im good.."
"Jesus.. It worked.. Can you stand?" She asked. Griff nodded as he slowly got up and almost knocked his head on a tree branch from how tall he was now. Everyone was looking up at him, jaws dropped in shock and awe, until..
"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE NAKED!!!" Rook shouted as she covered her eyes, running in place "MY EYES!! THEY BURN!!!"
"We.. better finish these wishes quick and get you some pants." Maria added, Griff simply nodded as he covered himself embarrassed.
One by one they did their wishes. Becoming who they wanted to be to fufill their purpose with Maria.
Spike wished for strong arm strenght, fast stamina and an aluminum bat that never breaks, and can destroy almost anything. Blink asked for a sword, the ability to parkour and jump from building to building like some kind of vigilante. Kip asked to be part cat for the heck of it and that whatever she draws will become a reality. Muffin asked to be a fairy, to bring joy because she isnt a fighter. Togekiss asked for high I.Q, the ability to see simulations of possibilities in the future and telekenisis and teleportation. Spooks asked to be like an Underworld Goddess, with the power to summon shadows and have the darkness on her command, and finally, Rook asked to be part bird and a wizard with elemental nature, and musical spells,to honour her beloved Lammy, she also wished to have a split personality to be like her favorite character, ENA.
And so the team was ready, and soon they would make a change to the world, the revolution has begun, it was time to shine..
For a Future Hope.

hey rae! it’s alli
i was just wondering if you could express your love for mercedes jones (if you want)
thanks
hello my darling alli yes i absolutely can any time at all any time of day i can express my love for mercedes jones
okay first of all: she is so GRACIOUS she never sacrifices her friends feelings in favour of her own achievements or opportunities and more often than not she tries to share her achievements with them and use it to boost the people she loves!!! she loves with her ENTIRE heart and is so so kind to the people she loves and even if her actions get muddled she always just wants her friends to be happy
but ALSO she never sacrifices her own needs for it she has her boundaries, theyre solid, she wont move them and shes polite but shes firm about it and honest to god that is so fucking valuable. also shes just so strong. she never lets go of what she wants and pushes and pushes for those dreams and gets up when she feels down and when she faces obstacles she actively seeks out advice and help and solutions to the problems because she knows what she wants and she KNOWS when she needs help to get there!!!!
theres also the fact that shes genuinely fucking FUNNY and FUN like she knows how to have a GOOD TIME and go with the flow and Vibe... its not always go go go for her she knows how to relax and take a break and joke around and smile!!! not only does she have a compassionate and strong personality but she has a FUN one. shes just consistently a GOOD TIME!!!!
and of course theres the obvious fact that she is just so genuinely beautiful and talented in every way every single time i see her i go 🥰🥰🥰🥰 u are so fucking pretty and every time she sings i cry. she has RAW TALENT and emotion in her voice and so much POWER and it just. fucking SOUNDS PRETTY??? like even without counting the fact that shes got honed skill she just SOUNDS NICE.
speaking as someone who has been classically trained (DEFINITELY not as much or as well as amber was, but somewhat) the work that has gone into training her voice is audible. i have to much respect for the work shes put in. but also work doesnt always mean much if your voice just isnt appealing to people (e.g. i dont like lea micheles voice but i can acknowledge shes got skill) and amber riley/mercedes' voice is one of those voices i wish i could hear singing every song ever. i love it.
this is getting really long and anyone with adhd is probably gonna hate me for typing this so im gonna try and break it up and also finish it
tldr i love mercedes more than anything and shes probably my favourite character on the show and i love her to bits thank you for letting me ramble about her ily alli!!!!

I was told by your wonderful wife, birds-have-teeth that you were in need for some asks/requests. How about Izuku and S/O on their wedding day?
She truly is a wonderful wife 🥺💜
Ahh! I dont usually take requests, but this was just too cute to pass up!
I hope you don’t mind that these are headcanons!
Tumblr media
Izuku Midoriya X Reader
Wedding Day.
Category: fluff
——————————
First of all! I think their wedding would be set sometime in spring. The time of year where it’s not too hot and not too cool, just after all the leaves and flowers bloom. I mean think about it, Sakura petals flowing in the wind on your wedding day? What a dream.
It sounds crazy, but I always imagined Izuku as the type of person to want to have their wedding outside.. Kind of like- in a garden? Or a forest? You know that the wedding Bella and Edward had in the forest? Kind of like that! Except surrounded by flowers!
Flowers like.. Magnolia, forget-me-nots, tulips, and of course - sakura! Or, well, Cherry blossoms~ Just! Flowers that really brighten up the secluded space. You’d need seclusion, after all, especially since you are marrying the number one hero.
Wouldnt it be so cute to be married under a willow tree, a brilliant white arch covered in white roses and vines standing above you both? Ackk vines.. So beautiful. Oh! Maybe there’s even a little rock pathway down the aisle?
The air is fresh.. Because you’re in the countryside! Maybe even in the mountains. Somewhere where a little babbling brook is not too far behind the trees, its soft bubbling noises relaxing the party-goers. 
Speaking of! Wouldnt a little plant themed engagement ring be the cutest? Something like this! 
Wedding ring.. Well you both have to pick that out dont you?
The wedding day is obviously going to be the most important day for both of you! But also, nerve-wracking as hell. Im positive Izuku has probably freaked out five times since he woke up at 6AM. Maybe a mental breakdown. Yknow. 
He’s a sensitive guy! And he’s terrified! Nono, he doesnt have cold feet. He wants to marry you! He cannot imagine his life without you in it, but God is he absolutely terrified that you might be the one leaving him at the altar.
Not that he doesnt have faith in you! It’s just.. His insecurities and anxieties taking over him. Even after all these years of unconditional love, he still cant help but feel you deserve someone way better than him. And he fears one day you’ll wake up and realize that as well.
But you’d have to be absolutely crazy to even think about doing that, huh?
So yeah. Wedding day morning is filled with Izuku’s best man - Shoto - trying to calm the sporadic man down, bringing Toshi and his mom in to aid as well. He may have thrown up. Who’s to say.
You, on the otherhand, are having a great morning. You’re bouncing with excitement! Ready and oh-so impatiently waiting to marry the man of your dreams in the most scenic area you could find. It truly was a catch! A relatively cheap place - the majority of your funds were spent on food and flowers. You can get pretty good deals on wedding dresses if you’re marrying the number one hero, apparently. So long as they get to display one of your wedding photos.
Hell, it’d help a local business boom, and who wouldnt want that? You got a discount on your bridesmaids dresses as well~
A dream.
But the start time was quickly approaching. Tick-tock!
Soon enough, the both of you are ready to start a new chapter of your lives together.
The scene is set! Your husband-to-be stand beneath arch drenched in morning dew, light breaking through the trees reflecting on each little droplet and showering the little patch where your wedding was being held in brilliant lights 
It honestly looked magical, straight out of a fairy tale. Hell, you were about to marry your prince, after all
God this wedding is like every outdoorsy kid’s dream
The piano starts up once the player gets the queue that everyone is ready.
Your friends walk down the aisle first in pairs, bridesmaids with bridesmen, silky gowns flowing in the gentle spring breeze
Soon enough the flower girl trots happily down the aisle, throwing Sakura petals every which way with a happy little smile on her face, dress as white as snow and a little pink belt. 
It was truly a miracle no one tripped on the rocks yet.
Once everyone was in their place, a traditional wedding song began to play. 
Showtime.
Izuku swore he saw an angel the moment those vines swayed to reveal you.
A sunbeam hit you from behind, its golden glow cascading down your body.
Tears formed in his eyes as he watched, paralyzed, as you walked down, heels clicking against the floor
The biggest, goofiest smile cracked onto his face, eyes connecting with yours. All was going to be alright. He had nothing to fear.
He’d probably openly sob while stating his vows, hands trembling as they hold onto yours.. It’d probably be something along the lines of.. “Ever since the day I met you, i’ve become a better man. You helped me grow into who I am today. You guided me towards the path that would lead me to happiness with your loving embrace, with every word of endearment you’d whisper to me, and with love as a whole. I always wondered what it’d feel like to be loved like this, and now that I have it, and that I have you, I don’t ever want to let go of it. Because you’re it, princess. You’re the love of my life, my one and only, my soulmate, and so much more. Every day we’re apart I always think of you. You keep me going. Without you, I wouldn’t be me.”
Something cheesy, yknow! Somethin sweeter than candy corn. <3 what a sap. 
He may have had to wipe his tears a few times… cough.
Surprisingly though, his hands are super steady when he slides that ring on.
A shaky yet firm “I do,” green eyes now a shimmering viridescent as he stares at you with the purest form of love swirling in his gaze.
“You may now kiss the bride.”
His hand reaches up, delicately placing itself on your cheek. He cant help but take this moment in, condemning your smiling, angelic face to memory, the flashes of photos being taken completely ignored as he slowly leans in. 
His lips are softer than they had ever been in that moment, the kiss itself so sugary sweet - the embodiment of innocence and passion. Love.
Eyes fluttering closed, he cant help but kiss you over and over again, each one making both your smiles grow larger until giggles erupt between the two of you.
Oh boy. He had lipstick smudged all over his lips. He couldnt care less, though. Pulling you close to his body, he smiled cheekily over at the photographer for a photo.
HE’S YOUR HUSBAND NOW! IZUKU IS YOUR HUSBAND! Praise the lords. (Y/N) Midoriya has a nice ring to it, doesnt it?
Inko welcomes you to the Mrs. Midoriya family with a hug.
The rest of the day was filled with you and Izuku being stuck together like glue, surrounded by friends and family.
The wedding photos would be filled with you two standing in a meadow, sun raining brilliantly down on the two newlyweds.
ackk just.. sakura petals flying in the wind~ how pretty. Maybe one even lands in your hair and he gets to pluck it out. <3
He’s the happiest he’s ever been.
Hell, he’s sure this is what being high felt like. 
He cant stop smiling! He’s just so so cute.
Of course, a few goofy photos have to take place! Maybe Uravity uses her quirk to make it look like the number one hero is floating away whilst you ‘run’ to try and get him.
There was even one where he and his bridesmen wear parts of their hero costumes to show off a bit. Like Deku wears his hood, Shoto wears his.. Bracelets and backback..? Stuff like that! Truly it’s a weird fuckin photo. But so so dorky and so them.
His favorite photo is definitely the one where he has you sitting on his arm as he flexes. Yep. He turned into a bit of a show off. Could you blame him? Haha.
At night is when the real fun begins. Mainly because of the party! Lanterns are set up everywhere, and due to being so far from the city- the stars are shining in the sky! Much more than youre used to.
Izuku took a dance course, unbeknownst to you (Shoto and Bakugou were forced to join him- talk about chaotic!), so that first dance together is honestly breathtaking. He’s so gentle with you, leading the way and twirling you around.
May or may not have bawled when you danced with Toshinori. 
CUTTING THE C AKE. OKAY OKAY.
It’d probably be forest themed. Green and white blending beautifully together, maybe even a little frosting stream cascading down the side. Hand made models of you and Izuku stood proudly at the top. I guess the flavor would be something you both chose together?
He loves touching your soft hands so holding that knife together is awesome for him.
Oh yea. After the perfect photo is taken, he definitely smears frosting on your cheek - just so he has an excuse to lick it off.
Sticky!
You both leave in a black limo, a “Just Married!” sign placed on the back.
Ahh. honeymoon time.
It’s going to be a long night,
Mainly because..
Well. Traveling- and.. Y’know (;
All in all! It starts off as stressful, and ends in the sweetest way possible.

RadioDust is the Healthiest Toxic Ship for Angel so far
@honesthazbinarchives​ Briefly. I’d like to go into this more in the future BUT these are the main points I said I’d do. Heh ‘stay tuned’ for why HuskerDust is toxic [haaaa funny fuckin reference n shit like Viv herself aint overdone it]. Yer dont even wanna know the lack of enthusiasm in tryna do a playful ‘cringetopia’ joke - wasnt as fun as anticipated. Anyfuckinways, the shit. Before we begin, disclaimers n whatnot, no hate intended, dni if you’re a bit of a knobhead [either stan or extreme anti], an all that nonsense. I dont own the characters no shit.  In this I’ll discuss how RadioDust aka SpiDEER (thats right, yer stuck w my shit humour now) is both the healthiest ship for Angel we’ve seen so far but still rather toxic. Idc if you hate me for it but dont fuckin waste yer time telling me. Great. I dont care. Yer fuckin hard n whatnot for harassin strangers online. Big dick energy to you. This will be slightly messy, my apologies, it’s a quick summary of many points.
Alright. Firstly, out of the entire male cast Angel interacts with over all platforms, Al is given a fair bit of mercy in terms of sexual advances. In fact, a swift ‘no’ and Angel doesn’t do it again - unlike most of the other cast [pent’s is covert, husks is overt]. One thing I like is that Angel himself admits to their chemistry (claiming that whilst he thinks Al’s a prick, he thinks Al dislikes him which saddens him as he’d at least like to be friends as he feels they have good chemistry - according to the VA via Hunicast’s 1yr anniversary), there’s no further efforts to jump on his dick but a clear curiosity/interest in what Al can do.  Lets go to the basics, both are of similar age [allegedly in their 30s, though Ive heard Al may be up to mid 40s] as well as created near the same-ISH time (as in, Viv’s oldest characters, at least for HH). Likewise, Viv admitted to knowing fuck all on either of their eras (and to make that public wasn’t really a wise choice BUUUT if you felt the need, it’s better worded with interest “Right now I’m working towards educating myself more on their time periods to improve their portrayals” <-- crucial if yer want that ‘realism’). Because of their real-world ages, Viv confesses they’re her favourites (even if you didnt know, she makes it pretty clear). It could be a nice ‘homage’ to their impact in her life but not too relevant otherwise. It could fulfil the need for self indulgence that she’s unhealthily leaking into the canon - which will ultimately make the series shit. No sugarcoating there.  As for their ages, a relationship can work whether the gap is large or small HOWEVER there are many ethics and conflicts to each. And being an adult into kids is always fucked up. With that being said, studies have shown that closer ages often work better due to the often similarities in mindset, maturity and life goals (older folks are more likely to want to settle, younger often have more ambitions), likewise there tends to be an unbalanced power-dynamic if the ages are too far, which can lead to various types of abuse. Dont get me wrong, being with someone much older (AS LONG AS NONE OF YALL ARE KIDS) very much CAN work - but rarely. There’s much more hardwork needed as well as being in the right mindset for both, otherwise it’s bad. More on that in HD. Long story short, both are closer in age meaning both are more ‘relatable’ to one another. There’s common grounds, even in the eras there’s some higher understanding of one another. Notice how Vaggie and Charlie are similar in age? (Even though Charlie is far older, her appearance and mentality for her race is on par with Vaggie’s, making it far more likely to work out positively) One of the most prominent out of all of this however is their actual interests. So listing; Both like action/chaos/having fun (often at the expense of others), both love cooking and can be food snobs in their own right, both have sadistic AND masochistic tendencies, Al likes performance and theatre whilst Angel loves *to* perform, on that last point Angel was very intrigued and enjoyed Al’s song number/performance naturally, both really enjoy pranks and both enjoy liquor (neither show an actual addiction, but rather an interest in social drinking - no dependencies on it). Again, close eras mean both have a higher probability of understanding the other and their lifestyles better. Both are high on appearance and love themselves, implying self confident mindset (healthy BUT the narcissism isnt) yet enough consideration for how they are viewed. On the parent system, one adores his mama whilst the other hates his pops.  Now Ive gone on about how they’re similar. But similarities ALONE is not enough. If it was, then fandom’s would be a lil more harmonious~ A HEALTHY relationship needs compatibility, POSITIVE conversation flow, common grounds, trust, openness and understanding. Even then, some people click and some just dont. It’s like how you can just hate someone for no reason. It just IS. Common grounds and similarity is scientifically proven to be attractive to someone - be it good or BAD. People are drawn to those like their parents in some way usually, likewise we look for people similar to ourselves (from our interests, to humour, beliefs, goals, etc). Science itself states that ‘opposites attract’ solemnly applies in the real world successfully. Though similiarity plays a large role, there has to be some differences too - that person is STILL an individual separate to yourself. Too similar and it’s boring. Too similar and you’ll do everything together without some ‘you’ time. Both Vaggie and Charlie have similar interests/hobbies in dance and music, yet still have enough differences to be identifiable when together. Vaggie is more grounded than Charlie. Charlie gives some optimism and fun to Vaggie. Remember, a partner does NOT complete you - that’s a toxic mindset when taken too seriously, You complete YOURSELF. Whether you have someone or not, you must feel complete in yourself as to not slip into toxic dependency on a lover - to become them, a shadow of them or feel like you’ve lost your identity without them. Sounds harsh but it’s true. Chaggie compliments each other without a dependency. You stand alone yet uplift one another. You don’t always agree but in the end you always have each other’s backs. Love is often butchered in a toxic light in the media.  So taking that into consideration, how does spideer work? Well, here’s some examples of good, bad and neutral: - Angel loves animals, Al fears/dislikes dogs. Perhaps Angel could assist him in overcoming this? - Al hates being touched, Angel dislikes being squeezed. Maybe this could help them reach an understanding... Or cause a rift? - Angel was the only one to break Al’s composure, either Angel is the *key* to delving further into Al’s more raw self... Or just another obVOXious pest? (yeah, I said it-) - Neither respect other’s boundaries, meaning both may fuel the other to be overly disrespectful in this area. Not good. - Angel is a sarky/sarcastic fuck, Al loves dry humour. Both seek amusement and chaos. In relationships one needs to see how conversation flows and in the hunicasts, both keep up some good as well as toxic banter. Both could roast the fuck out of an opponent however. - Al is acro/ace, Angel is hypersexual (appears like a sex addict - now I say this as his book has a crossed out ‘fun stuff’ with ‘work shit’ written on it. He’s always fixed on sex from his job to his humour), this could either aid Angel ease up on the sex stuff OR make him overly push it onto Al causing major rifts and discomfort (aces can have sex, ref to ace posts that real asexuals put to understand more but no one wants to be forced into sex is the point here). And we’ve already discussed their lack of respect for boundaries. The positive is that maybe this will make Angel understand how Val is rubbing off on his own behaviour towards men [again, more on that in the HD post]. - Both similar yet different in a way that does suit their compatibility chances but that doesnt mean they will click, it just improves the odds. - Both have similar enemies in Val and Vox, they’re on common terms. Likewise, Al is against the ‘sexual deviance’ of hell meaning he may be oddly supportive and protective of Angel in terms of Val. I dont even think his sadism will override this either. - Al dislikes modern tech, Angel seems to use it as his job requires it. A nice little menial difference. - Only ONE is an addict. Take it from an expert, you NEVER put two addicts together. They’re very vulnerable and prone to slipping deeper into their addictions as well as depending on each other too much that they essentially become very clingy, suffocating and toxic to each other. Seen it in action, it’s ugly.  - Both could have a lot of fun and calm moments with each other. - He isn’t immediately smitten with Al but immediately shows a natural interest in Al’s powers and performance, embracing it openly. Leads for a good friendship turned lovers plot. - In Viv’s patreon, she confirmed Angel loves confident guys [sounds exactly like Al] We need to think about where both are mentally. What benefits would a relationship give both? How would they be good and bad for each other? For Al, aside from his outdated views and being a fucking murderer and narcissist, he actually seems in a good mindspace for a relationship IF he opted to be in one. Angel however has a very immature mindset, likewise is in a phase of life where hes bed hopping. IF he were to be in a relationship, I’d say he needs a male equivalent of Cherri - someone with a similar mindset yet some differences, willing to have fun and in touch with their younger side, down to cuddle, open to share and receive love as well as not afraid to publicly be affectionate with him, someone who sees him as more than just for sex, someone fun, someone who’ll let him embrace his cutesy side publicly without shame - Cherri is younger so maybe someone who’s his age or slightly younger perhaps? I think Angel’s not retirement home ready to settle and needs someone on his level that can cuddle and chill as well as feels free and youthful enough to go wild with him. In one sense, he’s got a teen girl sorta mindset (dont put him with a teen though, it’s fuckin weird-). He needs someone positive and raw, someone to let him be himself as well as someone comfortable to be themselves around him. He has a habit of latching onto unobtainable men (in psychology, this is self sabotaging subconsciously): Travis the client, Val a pimp, Husk (emotionally unavailable and needs HEAVY self work - interestingly far more than Angel - plus he’s still onto his last relationship and an addict to gambling and alcohol), Pent who’s the enemy he was currently fighting (inappropriate timing), Alastor who’s not interested in another but his own needs [selfish, VERY bad for a relationship]. Subconsciously he’s self sabotaging on purpose. There’s many psychology books as well as sources online for this, if you’re interested. Either way, Angel is drawn to men either like his father [who dislike him, shun him, or are otherwise cold, abusive or just blatantly dislike or otherwise dont care about him] or anyone with money to fuel his drug addiction/’debt’ to Val. Going with any of these men isn’t a good idea.  Preferably, Angel needs someone who he doesnt immediately crush and obsess over. Someone who he doesnt sexually harass or assault. Someone he can build a connection with quickly that can bud into romance (think how Chaggie started as a friendship which clicked immediately). Maybe even someone he doesn’t expect to fall for but does so anyways. It would be more realistic as Viv wants as well as more healthy. That for once he isnt sex or money craved instantly, thus doesnt sexually harass/assault and is given a proper chance to develop and grow a friendship and love. Someone who isnt an addict.  Someone with an on-par mindset where they click. Someone open to love. For any chance of a good relationship, Angel needs to be with anyone BUT who we’ve already seen. There’s too much toxicity that’ll be swept under the rug and justified otherwise. Too much shit to fuel homophobes in terms of gay stereotypes. Even though Ive focused a fair bit on Angel, it’s NOT just about Angel. That’s something fans forget. Some he depends on or someone who depends on him in the long term wont last and will be very dangerous to both.  Just because you suffer, you dont then deserve to be rewarded with ‘something nice’. You dont get to have everything youve ever wanted. Giving him any of these blokes [minus Val] gives him a pass. Gives him what he wants. I get Viv loves him but life doesnt work that way. True lasting growth comes from learning that. Acceptance and growth. You dont get everything you want and sometimes thats a GOOD thing. He’s not a spoilt kid who gets everything he asks for, he’s YOUR creation. If you really wanted what your creations deserve then you need to research and be realistic with it. Because hes starting to feel like a shitty Gary-Stu at this rate. I live with an ‘Angel Dust’ like person. It used to feel like life gave her everything and most times it did. Everyone loved her and she could get away with murder if she wanted to. But now she’s had to struggle and grow, let go of some ‘wants’ because they werent good for her and she’s becoming better for it. She has a long way but she’s more humble for it now [still got self confidence but it’s less narcissism now, which is more healthy for her]. Also, they make the word anal lol

What made you different? 🥸
This is a general reading for the collective. This read is about your person you have in mind. Remember that because it is general it will not resonate with everyone. So take what sticks. Your free to choose whatever pile you feel. Heck, there could be little messages in all the piles. Time is fluid and we all have free will. So things can play out at anytime or maybe not at all. Follow your heart always. -E 💙🌻

Pile 1 🍒🍒🍒
Greetings pile 1, the classy crew with the rider Waite deck. let's get into it. I'm getting whoever this was misused you when they had you. I heard the line from Jackson 5 I want you back. when I had you to myself i didn't want you around, those pretty faces always made you stand out in the crowd". With this group I'm feeling like what made you different to this person was that you had it going on. you had a lot going for yourself. and you didn't share that with just anyone. your riches. your glory. whether it was your body, money, time, energy. whatever the case was...you were selective in who you gave to. you are an attractive energy and human pile 1. and you know it too. 😜 confident. I'm getting the energy of I have a lot going for me, and I'm not going to just be out in these streets. my money is good, I look good, I feel good. It took a lot for you to get there and so you won't share that with anyone & everyone. and then....you gave it to this person and decided to act a fool, right? lol isn't it always like that. this person saw you as being able to take care of yourself, even when it was a lot. im getting heavily that some of yall have family members or siblings (big on the siblings) that you take care of. you are the parental figure to them. you had a lot of responsibilities, and yet you were still like a breathe of fresh air. you still knew how to smile. mature. you always smiled in the mist of sadness. and you meant it too, like it wasn't just a mask. it was like "I still have something to smile about in life. my flowers still grow. there's happiness all around me." you still knew how to give to this person. managing the connection even with your own stuff going on. and they admired that about you. when things got tough you remained calm. never too out of control. you handled each situation how it came and for what it was. although you told this person about your life, you NEVER made it burdensome to them. like that's my life, but we are separate from that. and this person was acting stupid. I see a few of yall into the occult too. and that definitely makes you different, doesnt it lol. but you don't mind it and didn't hide it because it's who you are. when you saw there was sneaky behavior going on, you left. you used your intuition to guide you. and now, this person does have a lot to give and will give it but if I screw them over they will bounce out. you are not the one to do an unfair relationship. I'm seeing this person got caught cheating on their phone. like you saw some hidden text messages. I also heard "nude" like nude photos you found. this person was doing too much. and you were like no it's not fair. and it was like they didn't care. they were only sorry they got caught. they see you are strong, know who you are, know your worth, and you won't bow down to anyone. and that's on purrrr! it hurts you, but you know your special and you are a gift to somebody out there. so if you have to leave, then bye. you'll see why I'm special later on. and this hurts but you know how to keep pushing forward. and your person is just like, omg how are they doing this, how are they still okay!? pile 1, your energy is so beautiful 😍. its very tranquil. and im not saying that you never get upset or anything like that but there is a peace about you. like it didn't work out. okay, cool. I'll just keep working on my life, taking care of me and mine. and best of luck to them, ya know? I see you did love them, like them a lot. but that's the way the cookie crumbles. and tbh, pile 1 I feel you'll be better off without this person anyway. like you'll be happier being a lone, find somebody else, or just keep taking care of business. so many blessings to you all, you deserve wonderful things. ❤
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PILE 2 🥠🥠🥠
Hi pile 2, so while I was shuffling I heard likeable. so your very easygoing and charming im getting. this pile is nurturing, motherly. I get the energy of "ill lick your wounds for you so you don't have to". Ouuuu a healer. I see. (make sure that people don't try to get over on you, because they will try it)! You are a kind person. I'm getting friendly to everyone around. This pile is let's make love, not war. You don't like to agrue much. This person could have been a fireball and you just put their fire ALLLL the way out lol. I feel like some of yall worked with this person or around them. and there would be competition around you, and they would try so hard to get your persons attention. like look at me!! trying real hard. and then there you were like " I'm just here, doing me". you weren't trying to stand out. and they looked right at your ass too. 😂😂 Pile 2, you are almost too loving for your own good, aren't cha. 🥰 you love life. you showed this person a different way of living, like just go with the flow. but you weren't reckless. if you did go out or drink. I'm feeling like a festival or winery type. you showed this person that life is fun. you are a true free spirit. you don't let a lot of life's qualms bother you. this group is very natural. humanitarian. I heard the word garden. this pile is the type that give to the less fortunate. I'm seeing a person on the street and like you'll give them money, food, or whatever it is with no second thought. very "here you are. be blessed". and this person was in awe of that type of generosity. because this world doesn't have people like that. you weren't doing it for attention. you are a G-I-V-E-R. Tbh, with this pile I'm really feeling like you have a gift to help people, but I'm not sure that you even know that yet. you think that's just how you are. but i see you really doing things with the community. know your purpose you all, because its so important. you are balanced. Yes you are such a giving person. BUT you will hold back IF needed. you know when to hold em & fold em. that's you. you just don't have to try hard. I'm getting your person wears a mask to fit in. you do nothing, you can get somebody's attention without doing much of anything really. you love life and you give life into others. into earth. the seas. skies. heavens. whatever it is, you give life to it. this pile is an empress. very divine feminine. *(remember tarot have NO gender, it is only energy)* you'd make a good parent if you had children. *as I said that, I heard I don't want kids but I have fur babies*. 😂 okay so you take care of your pets as your little babies. we love them too. 🐾🐾 this group wishes good on other people. as I was pulling your oracle. the card purpose slips right from my hands. and it reads. purpose: I know what I am here to do. didn't I say this group fits in to a bigger picture. find the reason you are on this earth, do not waste another minute because you will feed so much life into other people. earth angels. 🥰 beautiful. pride: I love myself and see myself in everyone. and gratitude: I am thankful for life and the opportunity it presents. come through pile 2! confirmation again. I just said you love the life you live. the pride you have is almost humble. it's like you like yourself. the good. bad. ugly. and there's no better way to be. and that's why they like you! heck, I like you 😂 so awesome. let your light shine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PILE 3 🥦🥦🥦
Pile 3, whatsup!? How are yall feeling? So right off. This is more about your mindset pile 3. your intellect. this person valued your decision making. you moved very carefully when it came to other people. they would come to you and ask about somebody. and you could look and examine and tell if that person was okay or had some type of ill intent. umm....intuitive much? you are a very wise person. you listen a lot to your gut, even if you have to sleep on it. your going to go with what you feel. you knew how to get work done but you still made time for the connection too. I'm getting that some of you have an important job or school that takes up time BUT you knew when to be silly and take breaks too. I'm feeling like you and this person had really goody times together. snapchat filters and silly faces 🤪😂. you are a very determined person. when things get hard or you fail. you never stop trying until you succeed. but you pace yourself, never tire yourself out. sheer determination from yall. love it. there's a lot of power in that. this group loves gathering information. reading. tv. listening. however you gained it, you shared it with your person and other people. a teacher. you actually made this person become better when you spoke to them. it challenged them. you also had a quirkiness about you. I'm getting you had hidden talents about yourself that were really random 😂. but your person loved it. you all pulled the empathy card. it reads: I am open to seeing both sides of the situation. again yall, you really know how to read people. use this to your advantage and get in touch with yourself. Tbh, if you tap in...you can sense auras. if you can't already! 💫🔮
********************************************************
I have to say, every single one of you are special. each of these piles possess such unique abilities and talents. bless you all. not to say your perfect by any means. but beautiful works in progress. so whether or not these connections work out or your person comes back. you matter. you don't need to change what beauty inside yourself. keep growing. keep challenging yourself. don't compromise. your worth it. so climb to the highest mountain top and scream. "I AM WHO I AM. I AM WORTHY. AND BEAUTIFULLLLL". bless. -E 💙🌻

i say that the only things we have in common are the drugs we do for fun, but maybe theres something more here and i just wont let myself see it because im afraid. afraid of falling in love, of plans changing, of growing up, of moving on. of being seen and seeing someone and using all of my emotional energy to learn the intricacies of a person like i did with them, because all it did in the end was hurt me while they left like nothing happened.
i see you at a party and sure im a little drunk but something about you immediately draws me in, and i cant tell if its the led lights or the vodka or my gaydar or heartbreak of something genuine. all i know is that we called each other pretty and held hands and that i kissed you and we both felt bad because you had a boyfriend and that i tried to apologize when we were sober but you cant unkiss someone so i kept my distance.
now its been a couple months and i cant tell if im better or worse but things are different. i go out every weekend and go with the flow and dont have the same hunger for redemption like i did back then, i know im beyond hope so i sit back and watch intoxicated strangers, waiting for my sins to catch up to me.
you used to brush past me at parties but now we spend half the night together. we follow the crowds and leave while the night is still young, your friend is high but he drives you to the frat and i meet you there so we can go up together. theres no more than a handful of people, and i wonder briefly how i got to the point of invitation beyond what passes through the publics lips.
we go upstairs and i watch you smoke three cigarettes under the red lights. you tell me you're single now and brush my hair out of my face but im careful now, i guard my heart with a lock but i think i might have lost the key. im careful, so i dont say anything or act on what your eyes are asking me to do, just take another shot of gin and put my arm around you on the couch. you tell me your parents are coming to town and i say thats too bad, i was hoping to see you at the party tomorrow but oh well.
now its the next day and im walking back to that same frat because this is my life now, this is who i am, and i may be careful with my heart but not my liver so i get wasted. out of no where you show up, and i dont know if its for me or just because but im glad you're there. i dont know what i said that night, maybe i confessed a love i wasnt sure of or maybe i didnt, but you walk me home for the second night in a row. what i do know is that i didnt want you to leave, and if it wasnt for the mess in my room i would have asked you to stay. maybe mess can be good sometimes.
now im running into you on campus and wondering if these butterflies are for you, or for the people we are when we're drunk, because im not sure ive ever really talked to you sober. all i know is that i spent 40 minutes walking around campus hoping to run into you again, and i did, and that one second "hey" made it feel worth it. and now ive accidentally learned your lunch schedule, and im sitting outside the library hoping you'll pass by on the way up to the dining hall.
and you do, and i feel weird and stalkerish for a second so i try to disappear, but you call out my name and come over to me. your friends hang back but you tell them to go, that you'll catch up to them, and then spend a third of your lunch break talking to me outside and i learn that we both liked panic! in high school and pretended to be straight in gsa and you agree with everything i say and seem nervous. maybe waiting outside a library to maybe see a near stranger is crazy, but part of me thinks you might have wanted me to be there waiting for you.
this doesnt even describe all of it, just the parts i could phrase in a romantic way. i still cant tell the difference between liking someone organically and convincing myself to like someone, but i want to figure it out for you so i dont hurt you like i hurt her. i like drunk nights and midday conversations and wandering hands and over analysis. i like the chase and i like the thrill but i think id also like to like you too.

Random story idea my brain just dumped on me.
Setting: on top of a skyscraper, the sun is almost about to set, the sky is still mostly blue with a few tinges of color.
Hero: I have the power of friendship!
Villian: You don't think I have friendships too? Wow that's really rude. What, just because I do evil things suddenly means I'm not allowed to have regular friends when I'm not busy destroying the city?
Hero: well, I just assumed no one would hang out with you... because you're evil...
Villian: *appalled gasp* I have friends. I went out to a dinner party last tuesday, tomorrow I had plans to go see a movie with my bud Jeremy
Hero: Jeremy sounds like a fake name
Villian: he's real! He likes lasagna and high fashion! He made me this cape! He doesnt know I use it for evil though...
Hero: well I think Jeremy would be disappointed in you for using that gift of friendship to do mean things and destroy the city he probably lives in
Villian: I mean maybe, I never really asked him about his thoughts on that I guess, but he's emo, he hates this small town anyway! That's why I'm going to destroy it!!!!
Hero: I think you should honestly talk to him before making a big decision like that, have you tried therapy first? Maybe you and Jeremy could just move to another better city and be happy there instead of trying to ruin what other people like, pretty selfish if you ask me, if you dont like it then you can literally leave whenever without the destruction..
Villian: you've got a point, but I already bought these giant death rays and the return policy is so ridiculous, I missed that window a few days ago and I dont want it to be a waste of money so I figured this would just solve all of our problems, and maybe Jeremy would think it's cool too
Hero: if I talk to customer service for you and get your refund back are you willing to take the night off and leave the city alone?
Villian: well I suppose... heck, no ones ever reasoned with me like this before, I dont know how I feel about it, but why not. Maybe just this once I can do a good thing, and I could spend my night enjoying something else instead of working again, I've needed a vacation anyway, chaos gets tiring you know.
*he takes a deep breath and sighs*
Evil can wait this time, self care should come first anyway, maybe this is what Jeremy wants for me too.
Hero:I'd like to think so,
Villian: he's always trying to tell me to relax, and he even feeds my pigeon for me when I'm away, I never really told him what I do for a living either. I dont like lying to him. I've always worried I'd lose him, but even though I create so much chaos for the town, in a way, I always did it for him.
*he sits down on the ledge of the building, crossing his legs like a pretzel*
Villian: He likes reading about you and all the action the newspapers report so much, and I guess I was just trying to give him a reason to get excited each day, I never actually stopped to put any thought about what it may have caused other people.
Hero: he sounds like someone you really care about, but I think he'd be even happier if you showed him your friendship in a different way, one that doesnt hurt or kill others.
Villian: he really likes watching action movies together, we make popcorn and everything too... he always wants to hang out when I'm not working and making headlines.
Hero: it seems like he really likes hanging out with you as a person, even if sometimes you're very busy, you must be a good friend to him if he sticks around.
Villain: I guess so, I havent thought much about that part, he's just always around and there for me when I need him and I just wanted to make him smile every day, he has such a nice one... I've never done anything bad to him except lie about my identity I suppose. He just assumes I work alot, he never asks questions, probably thinks I work in retail or something...
Hero: Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a friend like that you know, I think you should spend more time with him, itd cut everyone a break and you would feel way less stressed out about life, and you could even get the chance to make some good memories with him.
Villain: yeah, I guess I am lucky in that way... I probably should make more time for him too, that could be alot more awesome.
*He looks down for a moment, picks up a phone and dials, we hear a voice say "hello". A few seagulls sound off and fly overhead*
Villian: Jeremy... are you free right now? I'd like to spend some time with you if that's alright. Let's get out of here and do something fun tonight, I need a change of scenery, a road trip perhaps, someplace worthwhile, somewhere... new.
*the villain pauses to listen to the voice on the other end of the line for a second*
Villian: Oh yes, yeah you're right again dude I do need to drink water today thanks for reminding me, haha, yes a picnic would be very nice. I'll meet you over there now, I just have to change first... and take out some trash, my old work uniform, but it's a good thing. Do you think you can please bring those cookies we made yesterday too? I'd really like that... I appreciate you Jeremy, thanks.
*He smiles genuinely*
Villain: I guess even normal people can have powers too, somehow he always brings out the best in me.
*he gazes of into the setting sun, the sky is lit up with every bright beautiful hue, orange, pink and yellows swirl above as he stands quietly, enjoying the sight as well as the breeze gently flowing by. It's the nicest, most calm sunset this city has seen for a while*

i gotta ask bc i know you listen to taz too, how has the new season been making you feel? i genuinely dont like travis' dming (and i feel like part of a crowd saying that but i just can't make myself enjoy it even half as much as griffins dming 😭) and i feel like he doesnt play along with the jokes as much as i personally would like. id like to hear your take bc i respect ur taste so much (like if u enjoy it a lot dont let me be a downer!)
idk i have some complicated feelings abt it, i do find it pretty fun and light hearted and entertaining overall bc it's still the mcelroys. i'm trying to keep an open mind that the characters and relationships aren't gonna be as developed so early in the podcast, like when we started with amnesty. i think the plot is ok, i really like how there's not much dnd (i think a big weakness of taz balance was the boring fight scenes like the whole final boss battle with john and the lights was stupid imo). there's lots of potential for big thematic lessons (commentary on respecting indigenous or religious ppl's beliefs and not just saying "well scientifically it's not real so it doesn't matter", and exploring the issue with expecting heroes to be self sacrificial bc it's literally just a job, while also acknowledging the fact that it's in the job description to be honorable and help, and how the crux of the issue is that they essentially live in a capitalist world and no career is perfectly ethical bc you're gonna be working for corporations that exist to make money, so the solution is to dismantle the system itself). whether this ever actually comes up in the podcast however is up in the air ofc
travis is pretty annoying and i rly feel u on the fact that he kinda stops jokes in their tracks, i feel like he does this thing where he berates the PCs over not knowing what he's talking abt?? like the whole lock picking practice with argo, or any conversation between argo and his mentor really annoys me bc he talks to argo like a dumb child. i also can't stand listening to travis's ad breaks lmao. and his editing is so bad, there's so many pauses that i don't understand why they're there?? it's probably the most noticable issue of the podcast, they really interrupt the flow and break immersion
and this is more of an issue i have with the PCs decisions specifically griffin's, but i'm really put off by their "creative solutions" to the tasks at hand. i get that a big running joke in the world of the podcast is how financial and business-y everything is, but delivering a subpoena to the monster?? i personally didn't find it as funny as they seemed to think it was. esp considering the monster's personality and self awareness, it seemed exploitative like r they the fucking IRS?? and right now they're trying to stay respectful to the centaurs' culture but they're not succeeding at all. yeah they have to progress the story but the message they're sending is really not ok. there's so many alternative solutions too, like investigating a little harder why the tree only gave 1 fruit. it just bothers me like what exactly are they trying to say abt what's ok and not ok when dealing with unfamiliar religions and cultures??
