Knifeplay

This topic will cover bodily harm and scaring for anyone uncomfortable with that this might be one to skip!

Hello degenerates its been awhile :))

Look. Things have gotten a little crazy ive learned quite a lot recently and I’m here to start sharing! Today were going to be covering knifeplay and otherkintiy! I hope your excited cause I sure am, so let’s hop into it.

Knifeplay is a kink or fetish revolving around sexual activities with a knife. Threatening someone with a knife, cutting, slashing, marking, etching. Using it for symbolism or to communicate intent. It is very versatile and different blade shapes, types of knife, size of knife, and the symbolism of a knife can impact the play.

So what makes knifeplay fun. Well for one this is a kink you need to know where your limits on your body is. Before jumping into knifeplay perhaps consider the following. Do i want scars? Where do i feel safe being cut? Is there anywhere thats absolutely not ok to interact with? What type of play do I feel okay with?

Typically theres going to be a lot pf communication because of the inherent very real danger of handling knives. Before doing any kind of knife play you should be fully confident in handling and maintaining knives, you should know how to cut with them, you may also want to learn basics in first aid or get first aid training for minor cuts.

My personal suggestion to beginners would to be to use a butter knife, something with 0 edge that absolutely cannot cut you and practice with your sub with that. Until both of you feel confident and move up. Here’s some general information on knifeplay.

Pressing harder = more dangerous

Dull knives with intent to draw blood or slash someone is going to make the wound less concise and more prone to bleeding and healing funky

Don’t cut over vital organs they’re vital for a reason lets keep it that way

Take frequent breaks and check ins with your partner to see how theyre doing. As a dom you also have to know your sub well enough at this point to knowbwhere theyre limits are. Its easier to gauge how the play is going if you already know their signs or signals they need to stop.

Doms are alos obligated to make sure they don’t go to far. These limits need to be discussed in length and make sure its clear what is and is not to far.

As a final note as well. These are guidelines, it really comes down to what you both are confident in and what you know you can handle. I am a fan of going slow and ramping up. For example my first encounter with knife play i picked a spot i thought would be good to try hugged a pillow so i felt safer and we kept the energy very relaxing and low to see how i handled it.

As it turns out I’m very sensitive to knives (but not blunt for trauma? Who knows why) So doing that was very helpful for me and my partner cause on the flipside his tolerance is much better if he assumed my tolerance was like his tolerance and went to town on me we would have had a very bad time.

So what can you do with knifeplay? Why is it fun for otherkinity. I’m sure there’s plenty of people out there with darker kintypes, demons, fictionkin, werewolves, rabid animals that want to bite someones face off, suffocating vines, the concept of malintent or rage as a kintype.

Knifeplay is a nice mode of expression. Its all acted and quite useful. Personally since starting knifeplay my impulsive thoughts diminished pretty effectively about killing someone or hurting a person. Knifeplay gives you the option to see “what its like” and answer that burning what if question. Its a great way to play on fear kink and if you really wanna have fun cnc and drugging. All very dark kinks that in concept are terrifying but in play are pretty goofy.

I don’t know how many times i had to stop to laugh mid scene or cracked a joke that broke the serious vibe and we both enjoyed a good laugh. The importance is that is isnt legitimate. Its also very awkward at first when your still getting used to it. Your standing over someone with a little metal stick going “grrr im scary” its painfully human and very humbling. You learn a lot as a dom on how to play into believability without crossing any boundaries.

What could you do with knifeplay? A sacrifice and a sacrifical knife would be fun for demons, objectkin may find something they can relate to thats terrifying and use it on a partner, fictionkin can act out scenes safely and get a unique kin euphoria experience. For animals i see a knife as an extension of my jaws. If you dont want to use a knife i would suggest using your nails cutting them to tips with a nail clipper and taking a biotin supplement will make them thicker. You dont want the nails to be long, short and pointed is ideal. If not that, even cutting random jagged edges would work.

Some scenes that really stick out in my brain are stand downs. Wouldn’t recommend anyone not experienced to ever do that given. But it is a lot of fun. Since me and my partner are both switches there are times where we are both trying to out dom the other or one of us simply hits a limit and starts retaliating. Circling someone else with a metaphoric barred tooth in their hand is very fun espically when you have your own.

Were not idiots though not using the knife to use in a lunge. were aiming to find a way to disarm the other person. Often times for me my strategy is disarming myself on purpose because it means i can get much closer without the boundary of a blood circle for myself at least. It also means I’m challenging my partner to have at it cause i think i can disarm them with nothing but my hands.

Which is to say, that method only works out 50% of the time.

Another one is stalking. Feeling a blade on your back while your walking is unnerving, feeling it touch you when you werent fully expecting it yet can be quite the rush. Speaking of getting sticked lets talk injuries.

Now injuries are its own beast. Knifeplay is 100% going to be based around the injuries left from the knife. Whether thats nothing or something permanent you need to make that choice before hand and then be prepared for after. I would never suggest to go deeper than skin level. As medical attention for wounds is extremely necessary and reducing and eliminating as many possibilities for infection is extremely important with knifeplay. Keep the knife clean and sanatized, wash it after sessions, have gauz, bandaids, and rubbing alcohol at your disposal, wrapping also wouldnt hurt.

Again first aid knowledge is necessary for this kink. I would say straight up don’t do it unless you know first aid.

On another tangent. I’d say knifeplay’s intensity can carry lots of different flavors of “oh god oh fuck” from stalking, a horror slasher, kidnapping, fighting for your life, total submission, cnc, sedation. When it comes to inciting fear knifeplay is an easy go to. A very scary concept that has the very real potential for legtitmate injury.

A favorite tease my boyfriend likes to do is just point out knives from horror movies when were out and about. Terrifying, charming, really portrays clear imagery. Simple and elegant it also gets him excited cause he loves horror movies as its a win win.

Overall great kink has a large learning curve but one of my favorites now. Very fitting for a rabid or feral vibe.

Predictably adrienette fangirls are vagueposting me and to no one’s surprise they’re being dense and illiterate about it at that so I’m going to repeat myself about what my actual problem with pre-reveal adrienette is and maybe they’ll read it this time before they go on to write another 8 paragraphs about how much they supposedly don’t care about my opinion

I love Adrienette, contrary to how the Adrienette fangirls are trying to frame this is as just being about Side Preference, because considering that people’s upset could be anything more than “they’re just salty it wasn’t their favorite side 💅” is apparently too complex a concept to grasp. You know why Adrienette could never be my favorite side of the square, though?

The problem is the show never let them be what they could be at their best because it always chose to prioritize drama. Things like their adventures in Gorizilla and them joking around together in Puppeteer 2... they never gave me more of it. They always chose cliche contrived drama and drawing out the will they won't they """tension"""" over letting them spend real time together and get close. And that just makes me mourn the fact its only this way because the majority of people think THATS the most interesting part of a ship. Why let Adrienette get to the point of being able to comfortably hang out together as close friends when that "diminishes" the """tension"""" after all??? No one wants to see FRIENDSHIP silly!

This side is always plagued with corny forced drama and manufactured "tension" more than other, which is achieved by not letting Adrienette get close as friends at all costs and throwing in waste my time bullshit like love rivals to extend the runtime of said "tension". Every seemingly promising scene with them becomes a microcosm of this phenomenon. Puppeteer 2 was nice but the comfort and joking around together didn't stick and they cut it short with more of that love triangle "the girl you're in love with?" bullshit. I was excited when it seemed like Marinette was going to join the fencing team in Riposte because their interactions in that scene were cute and I was happy to see them spend more time together and become comfortable while sharing this common interest, only for it to turn out that that was all to introduce a goddamn love rival plot that amounted to nothing besides developing the friendship between the two protagonists and said love rival more than their friendship to .... each other. Again, gotta prioritize the Tension!!1!1!!

I've said if I wanted to watch another generic school romance I'd choose to watch a much better one than pre-reveal Adrienette. One example? Anne/Gilbert. I'm going to talk about the Netflix version here: Anne/Gilbert feels a bit like what Adrienette might've been if the umbrella scene didn't happen and it took longer for Marinette to warm up to him. Anne gets awkward and babbles and puts her foot in her mouth around Gilbert. Gilbert is all smitten smiles and soft looks when he sees her being Anne(TM) and being her weird self or standing up for what’s right. But that's not all. They're good friends. They have a rivalry. They tease each other. They argue. He tells her directly when he disagrees with something she did. They challenge each other’s perspectives. They grieve together. They hold each other and cry after they lose someone important to them. Anne’s the first person Gilbert wants to tell about things that happen to him. Gilbert comes to Anne to discuss his future when he's confused. This was all before they were even together. This is the depth and rawness and realness that I wish Adrienette gave me. Alas, it's Ladynoir that has all that depth and closeness, while I'm not even convinced Adrienette can even be considered "close" at the end of season 4. Three hundred “soft looks” scenes only go so far. They only just scratched the surface of said closeness with Risk, and even that wasn't entirely organic considering it took magic to get it to happen. I hoped that would finally be the start of letting Adrienette get closer as friends and have some real substance and--- oops! They're dating now lol.

Weird as hell that Adrienette fangirls are being like “you all think platonic relationships are less than romantic ones and it shows 💅 one lovesquare side getting together doesn’t kill the others” acting like they really did something when … the whole fucking issue here is that Adrienette needed to develop as friends. Even if we ignore the fact that this is a piece of fucking Romance media and therefore not the place to whine about the value of platonic love when the romantic development is literally the main fucking plot, Ladynoir has had all the depth and platonic development and platonic love built up already. Ladynoir is fully realized. They've struggled and been at odds and reconciled and seen each other at their best and worst and grown together. It’s Adrienette that’s lacking in platonic development, it’s Adrienette that some of us wanted to have developed into a strong platonic relationship first but apparently, for reasons unknown, they’re incapable of being friends and needed to date to have any of that long overdue development. The Adrienette stans KNOW they needed development, they even defend pre-reveal Adrienette by saying they needed the development, but bizarrely y'all think it absolutely had to happen through speed running pre-reveal dating rather than uh..... friendship. Are ladynoir stans really the ones failing to see the value of platonic love here lol

One thing I always hated that this fandom did was treat romantic love as an ulterior motive or somehow shallow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that once again that theme comes up in the defense of this plot point with “nOw LaDyNoIr CaN bE fRiEnDs wItHoUt uLtErIoR mOtIvEs.” I’m sorry some of y’all think someone wanting to get closer to another person or having affection for them is an ulterior motive lol. Maybe this is the consequence of how hollywood and popular culture has equated romantic love to sexual tension. Maybe this is why I’m having to listen to adrienette fangirls say deranged shit like “ladynoir was meant to be the platonic side and adrienette was meant to be the lovers side uwu” because of course, a deep bond built on real trust and friendship and affection with someone who you can share things you can’t with most others, a relationship reminiscent of what actual healthy romantic relationships look like in real life, isn’t romantic at all, but forced Tension and contrived schoolgirl drama, apparently, is romantic.

In case some Adrienette fangirls are still having trouble with reading comprehension: I love adrienette and everything they could be. I hate how they’re often handled in canon. When I talk about what Ladynoir has that Adrienette does not, that’s me explaining how their writing and development was handled better and how Adrienette isn’t allowed to reach that point, not why one side is “superior” lol. Despite me saying this I know Adrienette stans are still going to take it as a personal attack when I point out the objective fact that Ladynoir has the closer and more developed relationship lol

The past four seasons but season 4 more than any other established these themes of truth vs. lies and secrets and the importance of being honest with your loved ones and how secrets are hurting them more than they’re helping. They were even in the fucking titles of the first three episodes of the season. And it seemed so obviously to be building up to a reveal, of course the culmination of all the interpersonal conflicts and anguish they’re going through would be the two of them revealing their identities right? No, actually, the solution to the question of truth/lies/secrets posed at the beginning of season 4 is ….. for Adrien and Marinette to have sex.

That’s right, folks. Not identity reveal, not for Adrien and Marinette to be honest with each other the way Alya and Nino were, the culmination of this conflict is …. For them to have sex. The picnic blanket date scene where they lay down and try to kiss only for Marinette to be “Not Ready” and for Adrien to tell her that he can Wait For Her <3, which takes place in the same spot as the implied GabrielxEmilie Adrien Conception Picnic, is an unsubtle first time sex metaphor. Fuck honesty and personal growth! Fuck Adrien and Marinette actually saying goodbye to their best friends! "I'll never abandon you" and "never do that to me again" and "I'm afraid of you disappearing for my life" all didn't mean fuck all when it comes to getting fucked on a picnic blanket! The rest of the lovesquare got thrown over because Adrien and Marinette are just so fucking horny apparently :’) This is what the pre-reveal Adrienette stans are calling peak romance and the best season of the show. My god

Though I can’t say this kind of contrived botched unnecessary conflict and nonsensical “development” on the Adrienette side is new to this season. Adrienette stans were noting the Glaciator 2 -> Risk """"development"""" like "look! Marinette stopped seeing Adrien's sadness as an Opportunity to Win him and listened to his feelings! Character/Relationship development 😌✨" Except.... no. That wasn't development that ever needed to happen. Marinette was already capable of seeing Adrien's sadness way back in season 1 (Rogercop) and of caring more to see him happy than about pushing her own feelings on him (the scarf in Bubbler + being his 3rd wheel in Frozer). Then Glaciator 2 decides to introduce this asinine "Adrien is sad now's my chance!!1!1!" moment so that y'all can later pretend Adrienette had a development moment here when it REALLY didn't. That was literally not what was holding her back for the past 4 seasons. That was a solution to a problem that never existed in the first place.

The drawn-out “not being ready to kiss Adrien” conflict this season is a completely new invention too because guess what: We had Chat Blanc! We SAW Marinette was already happily ready to kiss Adrien in full view of her friends back in season 3!!! Pre-reveal Adrienette is repeatedly negating past characterization and past development and past established themes for its forced drama and Adrienette stans are shutting their eyes to that fact because uuwwwu cute Adrienette scenes!!!11!!!1

(And y’all know people can enjoy the scenes/think they’re cute while still disliking the plotpoint/writing surrounding it, right? Or is that still too complex a thought for this fandom)

The fear of rejection has been there for the past 7 years, ready to be tackled at any moment. Those of us that actually paid attention to Marinette’s character, and weren’t just projecting ourselves and our high school fantasies on to her like a lot of these pre-reveal Adrienette stans, were all waiting for it to naturally payoff with a Marinette confession scene, regardless of the outcome. Let her overcome that rejection sensitive dysphoria!!!! Oh, wait, nevermind, now that problem has been gleefully skipped over and apparently the REAL issue is that Marinette can’t kiss Adrien. Fucking Phenomenal. Marinette already knows Adrien loves her and was able to completely skip over the "overcoming her fear of rejection" part but she's still scared for some reason and everyone is going to pretend this is so compelling and soft uwu and not completely lackluster compared to the powerful character moment that could've been if she'd been allowed to confront this fear pre-relationship. The past 4 seasons of her trying and failing to tell Adrien how she feels were actually just more dilly dallying contrived runtime expansion because that issue was never going to be something she needed to overcome through Facing Said Fear, apparently. Adrien had adequate development in realizing he needed to drop the Cat-sanova schtick with Ladybug if he wanted to be seen for who he is. On Marinette's side of the personal growth and development? Crickets. She’s just a scared little animal who needs Adrien to handle it all for her uwu. She never needed to do any growing, it was always Adrien! Adrien’s Feelings were always the obstacle actually! It’s Adrien’s job to make this all happen! Fuck seeing our protagonist taking initiative and overcoming that seasons-long fear in a satisfying confession payoff I guess!

There were conditions under which I actually would’ve accepted pre-reveal Adrienette, like for example actually getting that confession scene, but the way it played out in canon flopped. I thought ML was following the Raimi Spider-Man plot, which it has been in many ways, but even those movies had Peter Reject Mary Jane after she finally realized she loved him, and only let them get together after his identity was revealed and Mary Jane was able to accept that Spider-Man and Peter Parker are a package deal. Here’s another example of an actual good school romance I’d choose over pre-reveal Adrienette every time: Sawako and Kazehaya. The pinnacle of sweet slowburn slice of life school romance. Kurumi, an actually effective romantic rival character, tells Sawako that she’s not worthy of being called her rival if she simply gives up and wallows without ever actually mustering up the courage to confess her feelings to Kazehaya. The love rival got rejected and got her heart broken, only to be the one who pushed the protagonist to confess, and then we got a beautiful, emotional confession scene where Sawako, despite all her shyness and anxiety, puts herself out there and pours her heart out and tells Kazehaya that she loves him, all Without Knowing Her Feelings Are Returned. It was powerful and satisfying and tear-jerking and earned and it put the reigns in our protagonists’ hands. Pre-reveal Adrienette flopped with this. Now I’m going to have to endure the fans acting like this half-season-long contrived drama/first time sex metaphor was the REAL issue all along and that it’s actually a well-written and compelling conflict. Now they’re going to pretend Marinette continuing to be afraid to confess and having to overcome that while already knowing Adrien loves her is in any way logical or satisfying. Who cares about seeing our protagonist take initiative and grow and be rewarded for it!

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the same people who are rallying for this shit are some of the same people who’ve put Adrien salt on my dash and whine about Chameleon on a monthly basis because it was already clear from those salt takes that they clearly do not understand these characters. It was never about character growth for Marinette. Narrative themes never really mattered. It’s all about the self-projection. The people who are happiest about this are the Marinette kinnies who think Adrien needed to learn a lesson and Finally Notice and Appreciate NormalGirl Marinette and/or stop being “pushy” with Ladybug and learn his Lesson to blindly follow Marinette through all Chameleon-esque drama in the future. They love the idea of having that celebrity boycrush romance fall in to their laps with no personal reflection or growth on their own parts and they love their self-insert Marinette having an echo chamber entourage of friends that follow her blindly and never disagree with her if she has personal beef with someone. The inequality and double standard -- that Adrien's original crush was treated as the Obstacle that he had to Grow from and Get Over while Marinette's isn't -- isn't a problem to the Marinette kinnies because to them it's always everyone else's fault for not Appreciating or being Loyal Enough to Marinette of course. It was never about her growing. The real problem was always Adrien ~~~being too blinded by red and black to notice the cute girl behind him in class uwuwuww~~~ or however that cornyass cliche shitty fanfic line always goes.

Pre-reveal Adrienette has framed the rest of the lovesquare, and especially Adrien's feelings for Ladybug, as a simple obstacle that always stood in the way of the end goal of Adrienette, not a completed/fully realized square. Pre-reveal Adrienette decided that the entire point of the season 4 conflict was actually about making Adrien finally ~get over~ Ladybug so he'd ~notice~ Marinette. Pre-reveal Adrienette made it so Alya's entire role in Season 4 was actually just to get in-between Ladynoir to reach this end. Pre-reveal Adrienette started with the two of them bizarrely forgetting about the existence of their superhero best friends and ghosting them to get laid, which, seeing the later eps, was clearly just a summary of how this entire phase of their relationship is going to play out. Pre-reveal Adrienette bizarrely snubs the years-long plotline of Marinette's romantic feelings for Chat Noir after just 3 episodes of exploring them (even the Adrienette stans are relying on pure speculation of future episodes to justify this shit, you know, when they're not relying on their asspull argument that ladynoir stans just "think platonic relationships are less than romantic ones and it shows 💅🤪").

It’s hilarious to hear pre-reveal Adrienette fangirls vaguepost like “you’re just mad it wasn’t your favorite side 💅” when I’ve said multiple times that I would not have been satisfied with pre-reveal Ladynoir either because I Wanted to see that climactic Marinette confession moment and see Marinette’s fear of rejection handled in a satisfying way (and my dream for season 5 was to see all 4 sides openly simping), meanwhile it’s exceedingly clear these Adrienette stans are making a lot of excuses and hinging their defenses of pre-reveal Adrienette on pure speculation (lmao when their justification depends on future, yet-to-be-seen episodes being Better) and retroactively rewriting the past four seasons to ignore the abandoned themes and to tell anyone who doesn’t like it that they're just salty about their own side and were actually hallucinating all the blatant themes in the past seasons and to pretend this writing isn’t completely disjointed and nonsensical because they’re actually the ones who only care about seeing their favorite side be canon 🤷‍♀️

#ml spoilers #ml salt #ml fandom salt #why is it that every time i see a weird take in some other remote corner of the fandom and decide to comment on it on my blog #one of the self-absorbed noisy weirdos in my vicinity on this website naturally decides it's about them #and then writes a paragraphs-long vague post attempting very embarrassingly to show me attitude while missing the point entirely #please go back to writing y'alls embarrassing chameleon salt instead of giving me secondhand embarrassment through ... this #vague posting me on new years when i haven't even been here in over a week like come the fuck on don't you have a life to attend to #sick to death of this fandom

Thats the art of getting by, by sarewolf

Again, new to marauders. This fic 3 that I’ve read. Feel free to shoot me recs, currently looking for ~100,000 word fic with a good angst balance and no major character death.

Summary: Overall this story was INCREDIBLE. I loved the writing style, such a good amount of angst, and an easy to follow narrative. It raised Harry like exactly how I wanted and was so cutey and sweetly and UGH

SPOILERS BELOW BEWARE

Chapter one

I already like the opening quote. Can tell the writing is going to be good.

God the angst is already great

He’s only 24 wild

I kind of forgot just how much he lost that night, like all of his closest friends were dead. Even in canon, with no world star this probably sucks the worst for Lupin.

Okay I’m actually crying already

I’ve been wanting a babyfic since the first one I read

This is such a hard thing to do, parenting is hard without the trauma and sob storying

Chapter two

I wonder how they are going to reincorporate Sirius

And I’m concerned about Harry’s quietness, I feel like that’s not consistent with who he grows up to be

Hoping for some baby Ron and harry content eventually

I never give Kudos until the end of the fic, this is incredible and I absolutely adore it already

Literally crying from how sad Remus is Jesus

Chapter three

YES love old lady gossip

Neris is so cute delicious

Plus Harry is opening up a lot, so far very happy chapter!

So gay bruh

HARRY BEING SAD TOO IS KILLING ME JUST A BABY FR

This is actually fucking INFURIATING him being like “Sirius never loved us” like BRO I know you’re being LIED TO but I CANNOT HANDLE IT TOO SAD

Chapter four

Now I need to be a depressed widow with a three year old son who loves me

Like I think just having a child would patch my soul

This is actually the cutest thing ever love love love

I think me and remus lupin are the same person

Like gay traumatized werewolf = teenaged girl

“Oh the memories, oh the love” SO ME

YES RON AND HARRY BEST FRIENDS IM GONNA SOB

Damn he’s in love with Sirius fr fr

Can tell this is a shift, so gonna do a small recap

Wonderful characterization

Remus kind of being forced to push forward is great narratively, a little concerned about how it will work with pacing

They write Harry very well, not annoying as children can often be in fic

Chapter five

This is what I wanted, you see James and Lily in harry and remus is just thoughtful and reflective enough to show the audience the importance of this its just MWAH

Oh my god

Baby trauma. He’s so cute and being such a little bitch

Literally so sad, like remus is such a better parent than the Dursleys could ever be but him knowing what harry had makes it sad

If I have to read “angry fucks” again im gonna lose it, say sex please, at least sometimes

YES HE’S FREEEE

Chapter six

God this sucks, like I know they aren’t truly in danger but the emotional turmoil goes crazy

3 chapters till we get Sirius saying it now

Cannot understate how much remus’s pining and distraught connects to me

Like I can tell they were in love but SO TOXIC which, again, is teenage girl core

Not to diminish the relationship, I think the way teenage girls evaluate breakups and romance is like peak human condition and is incredibly poignant amidst the issues of war and death and loss.

YES FUCK YES HELL YEAH INNOCENT INNOCENT INNOCENTTTTTT FUCK PETER HATE THAT SON OF A BITCH

Chapter seven

UGH I know I said fuck Peter but this still sucks ass

When do I get to see Sirius. Ik I said 3 chapters but I didn’t mean it

Damn Petes evil as fuck

The justice in him being DECLARED innocent is so beautiful. I wish that could’ve happened in the books, he died being known as a shitty, terrible human being

Chapter eight

Ok skip this shit and jump to the gay sex I do not want a flashback rn I need TEARS

Jk obviously its important and builds suspense, well written two with good symbolism

Fuck fuck fuck fuck just kiss please I need them to kiss please

Like I actually cannot watch them be fucking roommates ill vomit

Sobbing sobbing sobbing “I hope not” Jesus fucking christ let me suck the authors dick I love this sm

Chapter nine

Just taking in the idea that both Sirius and Harry see each other as a replacement for James in the books, that is such a beautiful like concept with such horrible influences on how they treat each other and I really want to see how its reconciled here, if its relevant at all

Harry with his two dads that barely speak to each other

I do need reconciliation but making sure the weight of tragedy is like there also seems important

But also, please, just fuck already

Chapter ten

Ok remus time to put your big boy pants on and apologize

Like actually nothing will fix itself until you say sorry man

“He’s pack” BRUH harry

Pls having to tell everyone you’re living with this famous not-criminal is so funny I actually am losing it

Pls just be nice to each other for once bruh

Yay!! Nice!!

They’re so like fucked up its messy brother

Chapter eleven

THIS IS SO CUTE IM GONNA KMS

The dog plushie, the memory album, literally everything god I love Christmas

Omfg. Sweater. Sobbing.

AND HITTING ME WITH ANGST AT THE END. This is such a good joy-depression balance

Like its SO SO SAD like irrevocably depressing and filled with grief but also like LIFE and CHILDHOOD and JOY and bruuuhh

Chapter twelve

evil

Chapter fourteen

Basically skipped twelve and thirteen

Jesus Christ

That was gay sex fs

The dementors kiss scene was fucking heart breaking, like devastatingly sad but obviously Peter deserved it

Actually idk, soullessness is so horrific

Then THE KISS and the SEX and everything it was so raw and good and Jesus fucking christ

I want to have sex with eric again bruh

Just so sad, and so happy at the end with the talk of learning to live with it and just UGH amazing I love it

Literally cannot think of a critique atm, im sure ill have some at the end though

FULL RECAP

Yes I know I skipped 16 and 17 and I'm sorry.

Overall this story was INCREDIBLE. I loved the writing style, such a good amount of angst, and an easy to follow narrative. It raised Harry like exactly how I wanted and was so cutey and sweetly and UGH. I will say I wish there was more to the plot than “everyone is sad and trying to not be anymore”While that is a completely reasonable story, it does make it a little boring. But because this fic is fairly short it works out alright. My only true criticism is going to be on the pacing. I am not sure at all when Harry and Remus were introduced to each other, or how far after that Sirius came into their lives. I also think Harry and Sirius’ connection, while amazing, was a bit unrealistic at the beginning. For a child with this much past to IMMEDIATELY latch onto someone like this is kinda wild, but it works for the story so no big deal honestly. I think characterizations were good, not great. However, this is a situation we haven’t seen marauders in and I’m not super familiar with how marauders are usually characterized outside of reading the books and watching movies, so I’d reevaluate characterization stuff once im more engrossed in the fandom.

This is something I just thought about while adding tags, having moody in this fic was nice. He's a character I'd like to see more out of what I've read so far in marauders

9/10, truly loved this one

this is spurred on by seeing some of your tweets just now but i want you to know that I appreciate you so so much for how much you care abt jackie <33 i have said it many times and i will keep saying it bc your takes are always so good and thoughtful. i have a special place in my heart for fic writers and just people constantly talking in fandom spaces who delve deep into a characters psyche, even if such a large part of the fandom tries to mischaracterize them or simplify them.

a big help in me figuring things out abt myself when i was younger was from reading fanfiction and seeing characters like me and people caring abt them!! so whenever someone is just. straight up cruel or ignorant abt a character im like. but thats a person! like the exact character isnt real, but somewhere out there is a person like that, and it just feels like people arent using their empathy. but yeah! i hope that made sense. i always love seeing your posts abt jackie and they restore my faith in fandom spaces a little each time <3

Anon!! You are so sweet for sending this thank you so very much! My favorite part of this show is that we get so many complex characters to dive into and that none of the women are one dimensional or able to be put into an archetypal box. I will always strive to deep dive on them with such love and joy and reverence. I think it’s so special to have a show where I care so much about all of these characters and where there is so much to be explored with all of them!

YES THAT MAKES SENSE! THAT IS A PERSON! Every character has people who will see themselves or part of themselves in them and I think it’s so important to not see characters diminished by stereotypes based in misogynistic bullshit because you’re so right it can totally fuck with peoples heads! So many of the yjs have facets of their personalities that I happen to relate to deeply (another brilliant part of this show—so many of us feel seen by these characters when we might not usually) and I am always so happy to get to expand on the things I see in them, so that when people see hate, be it sexist or internalized misogyny or mental health biases or biases against those with addiction and so on, they might also see someone saying now hold on a goddamn minute—this person (and people like them) has value, this person cannot be reduced to this stereotype, this person deserves love and empathy, this person should not be reduced to something simpler that is painfully warped because it fits your narrative.

I have deeply discussed a lot of the yjs, both on tumblr and on twitter and absolutely in fic, but Jackie is the one that people get so fucking furious about. She’s the only one I get hate messages for defending or even just diving deeper on and I think that’s so fucking sad and telling.

So! Thank you so much for messaging <3 I’m so happy to know that you appreciate seeing it <3

hurry up you say, laughing -not very differently from how youve done before- from the booth your label has set up for you

what is it exactly youre waiting to happen faster? do you think my voice is stronger than yours? if so, why bother telling me anything, if my chords dont waver on your command.

youve done youre part, talking to my ear through the pod i left hanging next to my lobe, and so you get on your car and start strolling the scars thatve covered up all of the land youve never seen as yours but onlyve left to levitate from stage to stage that world below, so below, from that land that isnt yours

what else could you be asked for? you know exactly how loud your voice is, and you gotta protect it, lest its potency be diminished and the bottles stop pouring. hurry up, you say, and i wonder if youve ever heard anything ive said -and i know you havent, since ive never really spoken much, yet you always seem to hear what i fear- so here i wanna be as clear as i can be: genocide has never stopped and youvent said a word for it to stop.

you get to either that wide (but not the widest, youre quick to note) mansion or that tall (yet not the tallest, you immidiatley view) apartment and wonder

is that kid really serious? am I supposed to lose all this hard work now? should i sell my diamonds now? give away the art? peel off my butt and put it out? that kid wants us all walked over, is how i imagine your defense, he wants us to give it all away so we can be made mud again!

im not asking for any of that, and maybe the distance between you and the military complex that that land you look over as not yours is rich off of has made you forget the difference, but i ask for one word: ceasefire. i want to be as clear as i can

does he really think if i say that, then automatically the genocide will stop? yes, i do. now, if i wanted to make that ceasefire last, unlike how the bombing was reinstigated in less than a week last time id ask for another word: perpetual ceasefire.

you know that the people who know that land the live on as not theirs is greatly, greatly superior to those who know themselves as owners of it. you know your grandparents grew up with that majority, so ill ask you

do you want to own it?

and here i want to make something clear once again, i now speak to those who have made that ownership their goal and achieved it, be it from garages or street corners or any other of the thousand broken ladders laid upon that superior majority.

you know we have no say in what happens on gaza! you could have. you start asking for this and then youll ask for our heads! i wont, ill work. i belive thats what has made you soft on me. i neednt luxury to stop for us to accept that life is more important. anyone's.

these words can easily be dissmissed for being poorly chosen and awfully layed down. they can be dissmissed as the paranoid ramblings of a crazy person. they can be dissmissed as too optimistic. we're both too far from that specific genocide to feel the weight of the images we recive from it as we should. the destroyed building and the people bleeding, sick, dead. but we both have always lived surrounded by massacres, targeted murders, torture. no land has gone too long without them.

so you can call for Israel to stop the war its waging, either directly to that state or to the states that are supporting it, or you can not. id love voting on what each of you will choose.

#meant bet not vote

As the US faces the risk of default one should remember about 70% of the US public debt is owed to the US.

Social Security, public (state and city) and private pension funds, and the Federal Reserve hold a significant portion of US debt.

(Fun fact this is one of the ways the Fed is funded and why you can't "defund the Federal Reserve" via Congressional spending bills. Anyone in Congress -- (looking at you Ky Sen. Rand Paul and Ky Rep Thomas Massie) claiming they want to do this is either completely illiterate about the topic, a fool, or manipulating you (or all three).

Basically the US owns 70% of the national debt to ourselves.

A bit under 30% is owned by foreign governments, and while China is the single largest holder, they still hold a small chunk. China holds Tbills in part to help keep its currency (and export prices) low. That "currency manipulation" loud mouths scream about is China holding US Treasuries. (And they lose money on these holdings). If China suddenly sold or stopped buying Tbills, then it would wreck their ecconomy and boost ours (by making their exports more level in price with our products). The rest of Tbills are held by US allies generally.

The debt ceiling was established in 1917. It didn't exist before then, and there's nothing giving Congress the power or authority to actually default on its debt. It's a very merky constitutional question: "can the US default?" Given how our system is set up. The Constitution specifically states in the 14th amendment:

"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

Thats it. That is all the guidance we have in this.

How we got here:

How do we accumulate this debt? The vast majority of US debt is acquired via spending on:

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the US Military, agriculture, education, other Healthcare bits, etc. Americans are VERY expensive. However you generally don't see first hand the real cost of the upkeep of the lively hood of an American because a lot of it is via taxes.

Does the debt ceiling fix our spending problems?

Raising the debt ceiling today does nothing to resolve America's spending issues. The debt ceiling is to authorize money that has ALREADY been spent and approved by Congress in previous sessions. Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize new money to be spent.

Inflation and the National Debt:

The US national debt is issued in yesterday's dollars from previous Congressional spending bills but paid back in tomorrow's dollars. The majority of this is in fixed-rate securities. That means that inflation actually cuts the real dollar amount of US debt. Inflation makes old debt easier to pay off.

US Debt v US GDP v Inflation:

When measuring the US debt against the US Ecconomy, our debt is set to drop by the biggest amount in two decades. This is important and really the only thing that actually matters. This is a huge break for the US Government and taxpayers.

Example: in the first 14 months since Biden assumed office, America inflated away 2.7 trillion dollars of it's national debt.

In April of 2021 the Treasury could borrow one-year money at 0% interest. That corresponded to a very attractive real rate of about -4% by the time 2022 rolled around. In effect people paid the US Government 4% interest for the privilege of getting to borrow money from us. The current Tbill rate is even higher at 4.70%.

Now the five year rate is even better. A five-year Tbill went for 1.54% last year. Given its not due for four more years the real value of that tbill (the real cost to US taxpayers for borrowing it) will diminish significantly. The US also issues 3, 7, 10 notes to pay for borrowing as well as 20/30/50/100 year notes. As the time-frame for repayment increases the real-dollar value of that debt decreases.

Longer maturity rates = more interest paid to the purchaser, however it also means more time inflation destroys the real dollar amount of that purchase. In effect this means people pay the US for the privilege of getting to lend them money.

WHY?

Because no one buys US debt to make a profit. They buy them to manage their own currencies, they buy them to ensure a LONG fixed rate payout even if they lose money due to inflation. US debt is one of the ultimate hedges against risky (and potentially far more lucrative) investments, stocks for example. It's goal is to preserve principle in order to be able to weather drops from money invested in stocks or higher-risk bonds so you don't lose everything if they take a dive -- you can collect the payments from tbills while waiting for other assets to recover.

In simple terms, just think in terms of supply + demand. If you'll take my terms for a 2% payment why would I offer to pay you 3%, 4%, 5%? Demand for US Debt is high, so the US can offer it at very, very, low interest rates.

WHAT IS US DEBT'S ROLE IN THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM?

Everything. US Debt is the backbone of the world financial system. It underpins everything else. Stocks. Corporate Bonds. Mortgage rates. Life insurance. Everything is built on the bedrock of US debt. US Treasuries are considered risk-free investments, so it's the measurement to which every other financial tool is valued.

So when a corporation issues bonds to raise capital it's forced to compete with Treasuries for investment dollars. If said corporation becomes in solvent there's no guarantee bond holders will get all or even any of their money back. It must offer a rate of return good enough to justify the increased risk compared to US Treasuries. US debt is the foundation everything else is built on.

SIMPLE SUMMARY:

TL;DR: the entire world runs on US debt. Nothing will protect you from the catastrophic consequences of US default. Nothing. Not holding fiat, or stocks, or bonds. Not holding gold, diamonds, silver or Bitcoin. Nothing. There is no golden parachute. Only needless suffering.

There’s something bothering me.

I understand why people are disappointed by the fact Bellamy’s journey is yet again psychological. What I can’t see is how that’s any less important than Clarke’s.

I’ve been reading a considerable amount of “Clarke’s again saving the world and Bellamy’s again on backstage” and other variations. Idk I feel like there’s a point missing because imo this show is no longer a THG arena where you must kill everyone till you’re the survivor. In fact, that’s exact the opposite story they’re trying to tell. They have been constantly addressing that every life matters on survival mode and more recently how you live is important too. Not just important, essential. Several characters besides B and C called and were called on this, including, but not restraining to, Abby, Lexa, Octavia, Luna and Jasper.

Point made, this is why Bellamy’s arc is again needed. “First we survive, then we find our humanity again”? Bellamy’s taking none of this shit again. He’s already been there, reached the rock bottom, done horrible things under the excuse “who we are and who we need to be to survive are very two different things” or any other and nope. Not anymore. “We save who we can save today” is: “I will save every reachable human being because all lives are valuable”. Nice, right? Except for the little fact that despite how hard we wants or needs, he can’t force salvation on one. It’s up to them to choose.

That’s quite a road for Bellamy himself as a character for many reasons (a lot of people probably already talked about this but whatever). He never actually chose to protect Octavia with his own life. She happened in his life and I’m not for one second doubting he also did it for love. However, when you have a younger sibling you feel they’re your responsibility and they have to be under your wing forever - it’s hard to separate things. Also, he didn’t choose to protect The 100. He wanted to lead them for his own good but things were kinda happening and he was too involved to get out - and he tried.

I’d like to highlight too how important his journey is to all of the Delinquents. It’s no news The 100 look up to, admire and listen to Bellamy. If he, of all people, can understand the combo surviving + living, their life quality would improve idk 100%, folks. There must be a balance between the things they’re doing for survival and having fun and enjoying the moments. This is a trait that’s been defining for him as a leader: the connection he has on the personal levels. These young people likely can’t relate with Jaha’s, Kane’s or even Clarke’s leadership because they’re way too far from them. This is a horizontal lesson to be learnt by each one of them. Let’s live, deserve to survive and survive. All of it.

Also, I can’t possibly see what Bellamy could add on the science lab. I don’t know if I have a limited vision or sth, feel free to message me if you're up with any contributions he’d make. Yes, I want him to be with Clarke 24/7 and all the ship goggles but. That’s not the story. It makes sense, it’s fitting that he stays with the Delinquents and with Octavia (the latter only in thoughts) because that’s intrinsically who he is, as a person and as a leader.

Basically what I’m trying to say is: Clarke makes sure they survive, Bellamy makes sure they live. Again they’re balancing each other, two sides of the same coin. She helps to build the physical walls, he helps to ensure the mental ones.

#bellamy blake meta #clarke griffin meta #bellarke meta #the 100 meta #if bellamy went to that damn island he'd be clarke's knight #THATs how you diminish the importance of one #bellamy blake #clarke griffin #may #may rambles

INSOMNIA — TOKYOREV

ft. mikey, kazutora, ran, && rindou

cw: somnophilia, edging, pornography, mommy kink, choking (kind of), teasing, switch!mikey, sub!kazutora, softdom!ran, mean!rindou, thats all. mostly fluffy and cute no angsty smut here.

YOU CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE HE'S PUSHED YOU NEARLY OFF THE BED: MIKEY

- mikey is the WORST person to sleep with. he hogs the bed, he hogs the covers, he will absolutely kick and push you to the edge of the bed, wrapped in a burrito of YOUR blankets. and he doesn't care either.

- you'll try to wake him up but it's not happening. think again. if you somehow manage to wake him, it better be important, because mikey is not gonna be happy with you.

- the only time he's ever ok with disturbances is when you crawl to his side of the bed and snake a hand around to the front of his hips and tease your hand at the waist of his pyjamas. only then will he stir, and be more receptive of your rude awakening.

- you'll have to make sure to be extra good to him if you want to earn some of those blankets though. pull him down onto his back and climb up on top of him. he'll whine at the way you grind yourself down onto him, cock growing harder at every roll of your hips. but his eyes will remain half shut, his hands doing all the sensing for him as he'll grip your waist, forcing you down onto him harder. "can't sleep 'jiro" you'll whisper, only slightly frustrated now. "you're taking all of the bed up, can I have some?" but mikey doesn't care. your words barely reach his ears. all he can think about is feeling more of you, now. so instead he'll entertain your wishes by smiling sweetly up to you, patting the space on the bed beside him. "sure. sorry baby, here" mikey will say, and you'll comply, happily crawling off his torso to lay beside him.

- it becomes clear to you that mikey has other plans when you're suddenly trapped beneath him, the heat of his aching cock already pressed against your clit. "but you have to pay for it first" he'll say, with a cheeky smile plastered on his lips. how could you refuse? he takes the slight shift of your hips and the desperate reach of your hands to his hips as an invitation to push himself deep into your cunt, sucking him in as his cock massages your walls. but mikey wants to tease you. he doesn't want you to just get away with waking him up like that. all because you wanted him to move over. no. how dare you? so without warning, mikey is thrusting himself deep inside you, paying no attention to his name which falls from your lips as the friction heats up your core and has you already in a daze. he's aggressive at first, panting breaths and sweat glistening on his chest. but he begins to falter when your hand finds the back of his neck, pulling him to press his forehead against yours. the gaze you hold alone is enough to make him weak, a shaky hand meeting the bed beside you to support him. his rhythm falls to one of a deeper, steadier pace, the tip of his cock kissing your sweet spot with every stroke leaving you gasping for more. the sight of you fucked out like this just for him has him groaning your name with a hoarse voice against your ear. the opportunity to soften him up has peaked, as you find yourself whispering "you're so good for me, please fuck me till I cum 'jiro please" against the shell of his ear.

- mikey will find himself moaning without hesitation to this, his hips beginning to stutter as he tries his hardest to hold himself together at least until he's made you cum. but his pace is faltering, stamina diminishing and he can't help but trail his finger down your torso, thumb pressing and grazing your clit in a desperate attempt to push you closer to your edge. but mikey didn't know you were already there, he was too drunk on the feeling of your tightening walls to notice the heavy pants and and tremors of your body as you fell apart beneath him, eyes clouded by hazy fog as you came undone at his touch. the intensity of your high is enough to cause mikey to shiver, eyes now opening to your fucked out face below him. the way your head lilted to the pillow, chest rising and falling in desperation, was enough for his cock to throb, muscles tightening as he emptied himself inside of you. it was enough for his arms to buckle, his chest and forehead now pressed against yours. "fuck" he curses through heavy breaths. "I love it when you do that"

YOU CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE HE WONT STOP CLINGING TO YOU: KAZUTORA

- everyone knows kazutora is absolutely touch starved and always will be. that much is obvious from the way he clings to you in bed no matter how hard you try to gently shimmy free from his trap. he somehow always finds his way back to you. but when you're stuck again with his legs completely tanged with yours, arm wrapped tightly around your chest and his head nuzzled into your neck, there's not much else you can do to escape. except..

- you'll have to grasp his hand (which he will try to hold when you do so) and guide it down your chest. you'll give him a moment to realize what he's feeling, but once he gets it his hips will shift ever so slightly, pushing himself closer against your back. you'll guide his fingers to gently graze your nipples, thumbs passing over only a few times before you guide his wandering hands further down, stopping at the waist of the think pyjama shorts you're wearing. his breath will hitch as you'll feel him rut his cock against your ass practically begging for more and each breath will find itself closer and closer to your ear the further you bring his hand, now slipping past the waistline and tracing the inner creases of your hips. kazutora will be too lost in the moment-- too lost in his thoughts of what he wants you to do next-- what you will do next, to say anything beyond soft whispered whimpers when you slip one of his slender fingers inside you.

- "see how wet you make me, kaz?" you'll whisper, craning your neck to allow for him to pepper soft kisses behind your ear while you continued to guide and pump his fingers deeper inside your cunt just for him. he might start to beg, the addition of his second finger inside of you eliciting an audible whine and the continued rocking of his hips against your back. he's so cute like this- so helpless and desperate to be intimate with you in any way he can. you can't help but have a soft spot for him, even if it sometimes keeps you from sleeping.

- the only way to help him fall asleep is to then instruct him onto his back, placing yourself on top of him and allowing yourself to sink down onto his length. he's resorted to a softened moan, the sensation of your walls rhythmically tightening and releasing around his cock becoming to much to handle even though you've barely moved. he'll bury his face into the pillows beside him as the rise and fall of his chest quickly picks up the pace of your hips that grind down onto him with increasing pleasure. you'll feel his cock start to twitch and throb as you roll your hips. "such a good boy for me kazu" you'll coo, encouraging his high. "look so pretty like this"

- his hips will jerk at this comment, hands now gripping at your waist, intent on keeping you there as long as he can. as much as your intention is to pleasure him and not yourself, you can't help but feel a rush of dopamine to your head when inklings of teases accidentally slip past your lips. "such a needy boy for me. can't sleep till I fuck you? is that it baby?" you'll whisper this against his lips as your body finds itself closer to him, slowing the pace of your hips to a deeper, and much more intimate position. he's unable to restrain his moans now, gentle hums vibrating against your lips. "gonna cum for me?" you smile, tracing your hands up and down his torso as you feel him begin to tense up with gasping breaths. "be a good boy and cum for me kazu" you purr into his ear, as his pretty eyes roll back in his head with the pleasure dissolving through his body pushing him over the edge sending ropes of warm cum up inside of you. "so pretty for me" you'll hum, climbing off of him to the space on the bed beside. "think you can sleep now?" and he'll just nod softly, unable to do much else despite his residing desire to return the favour. maybe in the morning.

YOU CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE HE WONT SHUT THE FUCK UP: RAN

- listen. you love him, but sometimes he just does not shut the fuck up. sometimes you wonder if he's just too enamoured with his own voice to ever stop talking or even consider it. even after hours of his ramblings he's still going on about something unimportant that you've tuned out, when all you want to do is go to sleep. "ran baby" you'll interrupt, head cocked to the side and a sweet smile adorning your lips while your eyes remain closed. "c'mere" ran will raise an eyebrow, but ultimately oblige, shifting himself closer to you and resting his head in his palm awaiting your next words. only words aren't what you have in mind. god no. please no more words.

- instead, you'll prop yourself up on all fours, and plant a sensual kiss on his lips which curve into a smile when you attempt to nip at his bottom lip. ran's hand will quickly reach the sides of your neck because he knows exactly what you're doing. his thumb will stroke the side of your jaw as the rest of his hand tightens against your throat, pulling your lips away from his. "so it's this kind of night?" he'll ask, turning your head away from him to mark your neck just below your ear. the tingle of his lips against your skin draws a restrained moan from your lips, face growing hot as the heat pools at your core.

- you'll sit back on your feet, moving back from your original position so close to his face but ran won't like this at all. you've started something you can't take back now. "what, don't you want me to fuck you, princess?" he taunts, admiring the deep purple mark he left behind your ear. you'll nod innocently, at the very least hoping that at the end of it he'll finally stop talking and go to sleep, but you can't deny the growing tension and heat spreading beneath your skin as he traces your arm before gripping your bicep to pull you back to his lips. he's already hard, cock begging to be touched by you and only you as ran's hand finds it's way to your pyjamas, taking no time to remove them. it isn't long before he has you pinned underneath him, sweat beading at your forehead as the ache between your thighs grows with anticipation. "please" you'll huff, frustrated by the speed at which he's choosing to take things, admiring the way your arms are pinned above you, exposing and submitting you completely to him. "please? I like it when you beg for me princess" ran will tease, running the tip of his cock up against your clit pulling a desperate whine from your lips. "do it again"

- ran is demanding, but you've given yourself up to him now and there's nothing you can do to relieve the tension of the coil at your core except beg for him. "please ran, I'll be a good girl for you, please fuck me" you'll whine, and a hitched breath will suppress a moan when he thrusts his cock deep inside of you without warning. a groan will fall from his lips, mirroring your silent gasp as he ruts his hips into you, hands tightening at your wrists. "s-so hot like this" he stutters, picking up speed pushing himself closer to the edge with every thrust. "always such a good girl aren't you? taking my cock s-so.. well". his words fall to your ears like delicate snow, leaving you with goosebumps and shivers up your spine that contrast to starkly to the heat of his cock and your swollen clit, begging for attention.

- your wrists struggle to free themselves from his grasp, desperate to relieve the tingling sensation growing at your core. but ran knows better. instead, his free hand raises to meet your mouth, slipping two fingers past your lips. "suck" he hisses, never slowing his pace except when his hips jolt at the sensation of your tongue dancing around the length of his fingers. ran throws his head back, only momentarily, but enough to elicit a stifled moan from you, his fingers still pushing at your tongue. when he removes his fingers and replaces them on your clit, you'll find yourself teetering dangerously on the edge as your heart begins to race and your walls flutter around his cock. "fuck princess-- don't do that.. gonna.. gonna make me cum f-for you" he groans, the tension of your walls becoming too much for him to handle. the release of your wrists from above your head of all things is what sends you spiralling off the edge, his name now pouring from your mouth in desperate begs of pleasure as shockwaves grip your body. ran's hand is now intertwined with yours at your head, the contact allowing the tension at his core to snap as he babbles about what a good girl you are for him, his cum painting your walls in spurts as sporadic as his breaths. "s-so good" he breathes, now attempting to stabilize himself. "You really know how to shut me up princess". he knew your plans all along.

YOU CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE HE WONT TURN HIS PHONE OFF: RINDOU

- sometimes you find yourself wondering if this man ever sleeps. if he's capable of that. sometimes you wonder if he's actually a vampire, because the way he will sit there for hours on end scrolling through videos on his social media playing at near full volume has you going mad. especially when you're trying to sleep beside him, and especially when he starts watching porn. it only happens every now and then, usually when you've fallen asleep relatively early and he's left to pass the time by himself. except this time, you're awake. and this time, you're annoyed.

- "rindou?" you'll ask, brows furrowed in an irritable glare as you turn behind you to see what he's doing. he'll pause the video, and turn to you with a coy smile. "yes baby?" he'll respond almost in a mocking tone, as if he wanted you to hear what he was watching. "what are you doing?" rindou wont answer though. he'll just shrug as if to say I don't know, and continue to stare at you with that inquisitive expression, waiting for some kind of explosive response. "were you watching porn rin?" you'll ask, irritated and already knowing the answer. "maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. does it matter?" god you'll want to wipe that smug grin off his face. it's too late for this, but you can't help but sit up, now slightly more miserable than you were before. "you really piss me off, you know?" and he'll chuckle, leaning to plant a kiss on your forehead that you'll promptly slap away. "I see. Is that how we're going to play this game?" rindou asks, but his eyes have a certain tint of hostility to them, a tint that has your insides erupting in anxious butterflies. maybe you shouldn't have done that.

- rindou is now sighing, the hiss of a "tch" whispering from his lips as he shakes his head at you. now you've done it. that much is clear by the way he's abandoned his phone, placing his body on top of you in a near straddle. "you're gonna behave like this? at this hour? shouldn't you be sleeping baby girl?" you can only gulp in response, a fire now spreading in your abdomen as his figure towered over you. "I-I'm sorry" you stutter, but part of you hopes he won't accept. and of course, he doesn't. he won't. he will never. instead, rindou will snake his fingers past your pyjama shorts, pushing them deep inside of you leaving you gasping for air in response. "pretty girls like you really oughta learn to be nicer" he hums, pumping his fingers at a painfully slow pace. you want to beg for him, plead him for more, but you know he wont comply. still, you try, a small whimper dropping from your lips as you look up at him with doe eyes. "rin, please? I want you" you'll ask, but rindou will only shake his head in disappointment causing you to whine for him. "too selfish." he hisses, now removing his fingers entirely now resorting to thumbing your clit in reprimand. "I bet you want to cum on my fingers don't you?" he teases, but his tone hints at something more sinister. you nod feverishly at his question, desperation tainting your rationality but rindou is ruthless with you, returning his fingers to your dripping cunt but this time with such force that you're left sobbing in a mixture of both pleasure-filled cries and pain. rindou curls his fingers, tips just barely grazing your sweet spot sending you into a continued frenzy of begging for more. "is my baby girl gonna cum for me like the good girl she is?" he asks, the tone of mockery once again returning to his voice but you don't care- he's pushed you so close to your high that you can think of nothing else but the chase. so you nod frantically, gasping as you attempt to speak. "p-please rin-- gonna-- cum" you pant, but his face twists to an ominous grin as he takes his fingers back, your walls clenching around nothing and begging for something. your desperate sobs are muffled by his fingers in your mouth, hand cupped around your cunt as if you hold you down from the involuntary writhing you were submitted to. "too bad."

anyway now that i got my jokes out my actual thots on the batman (2022). wanna preface this by saying i love that bitch. even when they do stupid shit with him im like 😔....ok but thats still the bestie tho... i am not immune to stupid depressed goth man. that being said: he is a stupid depressed goth man and we need to keep that in mind

bruces first appearance walking through the line of cops and they are just quietly letting him pass.....immediately had me like...not this </3...i JUST sat down. it reminded me of the tfatws finale (hate crime) when the cops let bucky through and call him sergeant or whatever the hell. was sitting there 5 mins in like [deflated balloon]

BUT then they show how the other higher up cop man was not cool with him at all. and this was not something that was in the norm so i was like mmmh. okay not so bad... [will get back to this]

i LOVED loved the first look at gotham. the pan from "manhattan" to "newark" to the wayne building in the center establishing gotham. litchrally <333333. im biased but SO big brained to me that this rendition of gotham was new york AND new jersey. they said THE worst of both worlds. love wins <3

i really loved bruce and jim. i feel like Sooo few people have actually talked about them which is ??? bc they were So funny. (also probably the most grounded relationship he had). they were litchrally like that not to worry i have a permit ron swanson meme but it was bruce saying "not to worry i have a permit" and then jim stepping out from behind him and saying "he can do what he wants" lfmdgjnjhdf

back to the cop point. unfortunately my earlier "oh this is just a one time thing. its alright <3." desperate cling to hope was dashed as the movie went on bc it was not a one time thing

i wish it was more hush hush with just him and jim. and not him and jim with 20 other cops casually also there

like the reason jims character is so important in just the batman universe in general is bc hes the ONLY one remotely trustworthy in a completely corrupt system. and when you have scenes like the "not all cops" as a hopeful anecdote with like 150 cops. and then THE BATMAN bringing the bad guy or whatever out to Them. its like come on....

i had some minor qualms about some of the detective stuff being too tell instead of show. where bruce is just super smart so he knows the answer immediately and then he just states it and thats that. but that honestly didnt really diminish my overall experience with the movie.

i WISH they gave selina more

feel like selinas backstory was not only interesting but also a crucial part of the plot on paper but i feel like they just didnt really give her character the care it couldve had in execution...?

one thing especially was some of the dialogue they gave her felt like a first draft that they were gonna come back and brush up. but then they DONT. and just send her out there like that

there first meeting as the bat and the cat when he catches her in that house and they fight was SOO Good tho

also maybeeee gonna give them the benefit of the doubt there bc it is the First movie. if batman is in his cringe and fail era. selina can be in her early days too. but like i really REALLY hope they do give her more in the future. bc the potential is sooo untapped

also i complain about this always but. society when directors put some effort into their romantic subplots...come on </3 😔 stop letting sexy people go to waste

saw an interview clip of rob pattinson and zoe kravitz earlier and theyre actually so fun and had so much chemistry but so little of that was utilized in the actual movie </3 even tho matt reeves had Every Thing at his disposal to make it really hit </3333 why would you do that to meeee

next. i kind of Loved the reveal that thomas wayne got caught up in some bullshit. i just think the "bruces parents were perfect" narrative was kind of boring. and i like how they maintained that they were good people but. gotham is gotham. stuff happens

what i did NOT like about the thomas wayne reveal was the implication that the waynes murders were a result of him getting caught up in that mess?? i think the "they were mugged by a random guy. wrong place wrong time" is integral to the entirety of the mess that is BATMAN so that implication was just personally not my cup of tea. even if it was just speculation

there is some ways the conclusion kind of needed more for me. ill probably make another post for that. but i think like there shouldve been some realization that bruce wayne can also help gotham with his money. not just the batman with his fists. there were too many points heavily implying it throughout (the mayor, the riddlers bit about his dads promise, selina talking about the rich) and then it never happened (but also maybe next movie bc they prolly wanted to focus more on /the batman/ in this one)

i did Love the concluding point that violence will not heal gotham

i loved the juxtaposition between when he helped that man in the train station in the beginning and he said “don’t hurt me!” even tho he was trying to /help him/ bc of how he worked and presented himself with the ending when he used the flare to guide everyone to safety and then that women on the stretcher not wanting to let his hand go bc she trusted he Would keep her safe and he also held on to her as long as he could🥺

next. i LOVED bruces characterization. despite all my points its what made me Still love the movie so much.

reiterating. i am not immune to stupid depressed goth man.

the scene where the bat mobile lit up in the dark alley. was litchrally sitting there like 😭💖💘💕💓💕❣️❤️ my best friend for real

him being so standoffish and uncomfortable as bruce wayne while everyone is like omg its gothams prince. hiiiiii <3

the scene where he goes in for the kiss with selina but then gets awkward and cant go through with it. obsessed. lmfao

less suave playboy more awkward loser.

i think his characterization is the biggest brained aspect of this interpretation of batman

it makes the entire movie for me

in conclusion i had so much fun with it even if it wasnt like perfect. though i think i do get people who didn't like it. i dont know how i wouldve felt about if i didnt already love batman. and thats like a valid criticism. especially in the franchise saturated market rn where you already need to have an investment to really enjoy something that is seemingly new. but i mean thats DCs problem. i had fun and thats whats really important <3

Hey :) I know you said not to get you started on the order of druids and neo celtic druid revivals but... could you start on them? I'm new to paganism and had been tempted by the likes of OBOD and BDO and would appreciate knowing if there's stuff I should be aware of lol

Feel free to ignore this if you genuinely don't want to talk about it all though :)

hey okay so I actually mixed it up, it's not the order of bards ovates and druids I was referring to, I was actually referring to the ancient order of druids. I have a problem with modern druidry in general, and ill explain my reasoning.

the AOD was made up by a bunch of bored Englishmen who, after the english completely slaughtered the druids, decided they quite fancied becoming the new druids - despite the fact we barely know anything about them. they completely wrecked the modern understanding of druids, and that still carries today.

druids these days are portrayed as tree hugging hippies when they were so much more important than that. they did practice magic, yes, but more importantly they were community leaders, judges, and historical keepers. they held the knowledge of our countries histories. they settled disputes in our kingdoms. like say there was a battle, a king could simply call on a druid to stand judgement. whatever a druid said was law. if a druid judged that one kingdom was in the wrong and had to lay down arms and stop attacking and give land back, that would be respected. they were incredibly important figures in our communities. you can see why the english colonisers had a problem with this, because they wanted to be the figurehead. they killed the druids, wiping out our cultural way of life and histories as they did so. it was a cultural genocide.

and then the colonisers decided they wanted to be the druids and cherry picked their favourite parts and completely warped the modern understanding of druidry. most druid orders these days teach a bunch of magic and spirituality, which was only a small part of our culture, and therefore completely diminish the whole point of the druids.

and when the druids did practice magic, it wasn't meditation under trees. they would cut open their enemies stomachs, drag their intestines out, and read the future in their guts. they would slice a man's throat and try to divine a meaning from the blood spatter on the rocks. they would fling people off cliffs to appease the gods. that is a far cry from the uwu peaceful robed men we see depicted today. and modern "druids" today pick a few flowers and decide theyre druids while having absolutely no understanding of the importance of these people in our country. before anything else, they were political figures.

so I have a problem with the AOD because of that, because they slaughtered my people and committed a cultural genocide and then rewrote that very culture. the OBOD took inspiration from the AOD so while I dont know much about the OBOD, I assume they still carry those practices. I know people in the order tend to be told to study alone, which is very very different to how actual druids practiced and studied in groups, as scholars. I know someone who is in the OBOD and they say they were taught the rule of three and to not curse people - do you think the druids back then were actually bothered about the rule of 3 while they were chopping up their sacrifices and cursing people to come down with sickness?

these orders, as far as I am concerned, are a way to carry on that cultural genocide. because I have had arguments with that person I know who is in the OBOD and I keep telling them that thats not what the druids were but they insist that the teachings over in Michigan are more accurate than the actual real historical sources we have, all because someone has a qualification from the Order in front of their name.

some bored middle class aristocratic men decided one day to bring back druidry but completely missed out the gritty shit and kept in the cutesy magical stuff. in our modern eyes, human sacrifice is gross, but that doesn't mean we can rewrite history. every culture everywhere has practiced human sacrifices and every culture has political leaders who did gross things. we can't mess up history just because we don't like it.

these orders are, in my opinion, a symbol of everything wrong with our cultural understanding of my people. they've woo-ified the druids and insist on warping the depiction of them with no regard for the culture theyre actively taking part in destroying.

please bear in mind this is only my opinion, one that has been formed during my own personal studies and reconnection with my culture, and if I got anything wrong with the OBOD I'm open to respectful conversations about it. I just very much struggle to see both sides of the argument when it is my culture that is still being erased by these organisations.
