#bc i'm tryna be polite

[yourlocaldisneyvillain]

i appreciate the gesture, but if you send me tiktoks, it is unlikely i will open them as i don't have the app and opening it in browser makes me viscerally angry lol

#personal #also tumblr is literally the only social i use apart from work instagram/facebook and that i use exclusively for work #i hate looking at short format videos lol they make my blood boil bc i am a grandma #i know it's like nice and you wanna show me something but uh it's unlikely i will watch and if i do it's bc i literally make myself #bc i'm tryna be polite

[stealingpotatoes]

Hi, love your posts. Is the last 4 jedi a fic on A03? If so, could you send me the link or your username? I totally want to read it!

ok 1. nope just comics and 2. this isn't directed at you bc you've asked very nicely and politely, but I still wanna address this: I get a lot of comments on comics like "i need a fic of this op" or "someone write this!!" -- and i understand it totally on small hc comics, but on bigger comics it just feels rlly dismissive lol. like why do ppl want me to write a fic abt smthn, there is a comic telling the story right there!!!!

ig i'm just tryna say it'd be nice if everyone accepted comics as a valid form of storytelling and didn't see them as inherently subpar to fics?

#AGAIN NOT DIRECTED AT YOU DEAR ASKER!!! YOU ASKED VERY POLITELY!!!!!!! #i just had to take the chance to say it #THIS IS ALSO NOT DIRECTED TO THE MAJORITY OF PPL. I KNOW THE COMICS WORK ON MOST PPL #BC I GET LOVELY AMAZING TAGS WITH EMOTIONS IN THEM. BEST KIND OF TAGS EVER #thanks for the ask! #this is also not directed to the amazing ppl who've been inspired by my comics. that is a completely different ballpark #being inspired to write is VERY different from complaining that my comic isnt a fic #sorry if this comes off bitchy i dont mean it i just mean it like 'plz think abt how sayin wheres the fic op comes across'

[butch-reidentified]

ima go ahead n answer both these at once if that's good w yall.

here's the referenced post for anyone who missed it.

I've posted a LOT about adoption before. feel free to search #adoption, #ethical adoption, #adoptee or #adopted, etc in my tags for those posts. if you can't find them bc Tumblr is shit at searching lmk and I will try to dig em up. I have a Google doc of organized/categorized Tumblr links because of the search function being such a joke

anyway that said. what I meant is that it is sooo obvious to most adoptees from a young age that it's a consumer industry and we are a product for sale. most of us who always knew we were adopted have that horrifying realization very very young, far too young to know how to deal with it. yes I am glad when other people figure this out too but it's a bit irritating for non adoptees to act like this is some mystical wisdom they alone could've uncovered when it's part of the trauma inherent to adoption to realize you were purchased 🤷

I'm not against adoption like some adoptees are, but I could write ESSAYS on my criticisms of the industry and how it SHOULD work. in fact, I have written essay length posts about it in the tags listed above. but ultimately nobody gives a fuck & NOBODY of any political orientation wants to hear that adoption perhaps isn't the utterly selfless flawless silver bullet solution to unwanted kids that everyone treats it as. yet statistically we KNOW most adoptees are extremely damaged by it, the research is there but nobody talks about it. nobody likes you if you talk about it. the walls go up real quick.

one of my favorite things is how adoption seems to be the ONE area that absolutely nobody respects lived material experience about. even loads of leftists/radfems who are always going on and on about the importance of listening to people's real, lived experiences will aggressively talk over us adoptees if we dare have the audacity to critique adoption/the adoption industry or acknowledge that it's fuckin traumatic even for an infant being yanked away from the only stimuli you knew for 9 months and put somewhere where you can't recognize yourself in anyone or anything for the next 18+ years. and that's best case scenario! scenario where they don't abuse you or spend your childhood guilt tripping you because they oh so selflessly took you in when nobody wanted you and now look how difficult you are, crying all the time n shit... just as 1 common experience I know many share from my own life and talking to other adoptees.

but nearly every time we try to talk about this, even if it has nothing to do with criticizing the adoption industry and we are JUST tryna get painful shit off our chest, some non adoptee or 8 is/are gonna jump down our throat (and often even say all the same shit our parents guilted us with as kids lmao)

it's also 1000% a feminist issue bc SO many mothers are forced into adopting out a kid they wanna keep, or adoption being available is used to justify forcing women to give birth instead of aborting an unwanted pregnancy when those women would otherwise choose the latter. not to mention the designer baby shit & the preference for white male babies... and the fact that it's human beings being literally sold as a good. Just because it's legal and isn't outright sex slavery or "forced labor" (tho adopted kids are so often viciously abused and often in those exact ways) doesn't make it right to buy or sell a human being, doesn't make it not human trafficking. & I say this as an adoptee who was ALSO trafficked as a teenager.

Warnings: bondage, rope play, spankings, oral (m receiving), p in v, dirty talk, he's a COWBOY

-----------------------➰----------------------

"You just never learn do you darlin?" Bucky growled as he tightened the rope that connected your wrists to your ankles and you whimpered around the gag he had placed in your mouth.

He then hoisted you up and hooked the ropes to a hook that hung down in the middle of the barn. He let go and there you were, dangling in mid-air, totally naked and drooling as he took a moment to spin you around, enjoying his handy work.

As much as you were in deep trouble, there was something very relaxing about being tied up like this. You really didn't have to do anything now, just take whatever Bucky was going to give you and pray you were forgiven by the end of it.

"Why do you always have to do it? Acting like a little slut when you go out as if you don't belong to me? So fucking stupid baby, a little dumb slut..." He landed some slaps to your ass before spinning you around and gripping your face between his hands and bringing your eyes to meet his. "So now I gotta spend an evening reminding you who these little holes belong to, and reminding you of your place, when I could be spending a nice evening eating that little pussy and fucking you like a good girl..."

Tears sprung in your eyes and you whimpered behind the gag as his words hit home. Why did you always do shit like this? Perhaps next time you'd be better you lied to yourself....

He spent a long, long, long time landing spanks all over your quivering body. And you could only watch as he pinched your sensitive nipples and slapped your puffy folds. You begged behind your gag but he just tutted and continued until your skin was throbbing from his work.

"Stop tryna talk your way out of it baby, not interested in what you have to say. I'm gonna use these holes till I'm satisfied and then we'll see about what comes next." You nodded silently and he hummed in approval, hand gliding over you possessively until his crotch was level with your face. You watched with greedy eyes as he unbuckled his belt and pulled out his perfect, thick cock, stroking it a couple of times before tapping your face with it.

"I'm feeling generous baby, I'll let ya lube it up with your mouth before I use it anywhere else, but if you so much as utter a word I'm gonna take it away, ok?" You nod again and look up at him with wide eyes and he briefly strokes your cheek, "atta girl." It wasn't quite 'good girl' but you were getting there.

He removed the gag and promptly filled your mouth with cock, fucking your face relentlessly. You choked and whined, spluttering and drooling whenever he pulled out. He braced himself on the ropes and your body jerked forward, taking him deeper as he thrust in. Your whole body shook with desire as he used your throat. "Fuck baby, such a perfect mouth you got. Using it all wrong, made just for this huh? Gotta learn when to use it and when to keep it closed hmm?"

His words and actions had your pussy walls clenching around nothing and your arousal dripped down until by the time he was ready to use it you were a soaking mess.

"Oh darlin' wish you could see what a mess you've made. This all for me?" You whimper and nod and he strokes a finger through your folds and you cry out, jerking in your restraints. "Easy, easy baby, got a long way to go yet." He teased as you felt his cock line up with your aching hole. "Gonna fill you up properly one of these days" he remarked to himself, dreaming of all the ways he could make you his before sinking in, one smooth thrust that made your eyes roll back in your head.

"That's good baby, good girl, taking me so well" he growled and you couldn't help but preen under his praise, your cries getting louder as the sound of your skin slapping together filled the barn. Everything was aflame as he pounded, bringing you closer to your release. Your silky walls squeezed tight enough to make him stutter his hips and groan. "Not yet darlin, hold on just a little longer sweetheart..." He strained and his thrusts came faster and you yelled out, begging for him to let you come.

"Hold it, hold it" his voice stern and harsh as he rubbed your clit, his thrusts never faltering as you screamed until he finally growled out permission. Your vision went white as your orgasm pushed his cock out and you squirted harder than you ever had in your life. His cock pushed back in and filled you up, his beautiful moans filling the quiet barn as you panted heavily. He kept still inside, but his fingers continued to gently rub your sensitive clit.

"Who do these little holes belong to baby?"

You whimpered your reply and he sped up his fingers.

"And are you gonna remember that next time I take you out?"

This time you choked out a sob mixed with a yes as he fucked you slow, contrasting with his fingers.

"Good girl" he pulled out leaving you to whine and wiggle as he left you hanging both physically and from the need for another orgasm. He spun you around and crouched down, his face level with yours.

"You wanna head back inside now sweet thing?" You pouted and nodded and he pressed a loving kiss to your messy mouth, then peppering your face with more soft kisses.

"Get me hard again, I wanna come in that ass and then we'll see if you deserve to come down after that..."

I need the Lord 🙏🏻

[rooftopwreck]

ooh ooh, 58 for the Spotify wrapped fic idea thing!

Hello, Hello TJ! I have two ideas for this!

The First one is a sequel to the angsty Modern AU Dreamuse Break Up I came up with for @ghostboyjules where in this one there's reconciliation, healing and a hopeful ending. Oh, just thinking about it makes me 🥺

The second one is set in 1989 where Hob thinks he got stood up. It's more of an introspective look on how Hob's feeling, starting to get a little drunk and melancholy as the day stretches into night as he waits in The White Horse.

I'll dive into the first scenario instead bc I have an actual idea for it than the second which is mostly just Hob having some sad lonely drunken musings before his night gets worse (he doesn't know about the pub shutting down yet rip)

My mind is complicated Find it hard to rearrange it But I'll have to find a way somehow Overreacting lately Find it hard to say I'm sorry But I'll make it up to you somehow

Years after their mutual break up, Dream and Calliope happen to run into one another (haven't decided should it be a quiet balcony at a Gala or something more mundane). They have polite (albeit stiff) conversation, making nice and catching up. After that they can't seem to stop happening across one another, it's almost as though it's fate.

They continue to make polite conversation each time. Once, Dream makes a dry remark, it makes Calliope laugh. Dream is simultaneously delighted by her joy and overcome with a sense of grief. He takes his leave shortly after but not before Calliope suggests it would be nice to keep in contact again.

Dream struggles with the love he had for Calliope, their falling out, his own failures in their relationship, how they seem to get along better than ever despite their interactions are tainted by shadows of their past and how it feels the same but also very different. She feels different but also the same. He wonders if he's changed at all and if the man he is now is worth her time despite everything that's happened.

Seeing her again brought back old grievances, not against her but himself. He considers making amends if he wants them to start again as friends. He has missed her dearly.

Did I miscalculate this? Let's just go back to basics Forget about what's come and gone 'Cause I hate to see us like this Breaking up on nights just like this We should be shooting for them stars of gold

It is good to see him again, Calliope thinks. It might have been good to hom too, she thinks. That is until he suddenly froze up and backpaddled out of the conversation at the speed of light, but never in an undignified way, just as he used to. After so many years, she thought she had a good enough read on him, that he did not hate her as she initially thought, that he was comfortable with her. Perhaps she is mistaken, perhaps she is too hasty in her desire to have Dream warm up again, perhaps he was reminded of their past and remembered he would rather not reconnect.

Calliope wishes they could put aside their past and work towards something new. They've both changed a lot, they're not the same as they once were. Their relationship will not be that of the past. It can be something new if Dream comes around to the idea.

So tell me you want it A thousand miles away from the day that we started But I'm standing here with you just tryna be honest If honesty means telling you the truth I guess we lost our focus And it's killing me that we could go to war like this But I'm standing here with you just tryna be honest If honesty means telling you the truth Well I'm still in love with you

They make tentative steps together, navigating this new friendship. Sometimes, they make more mistakes than they do progress. Sometimes, they make leaps and bounds, bonding in a way they haven't before. It is good, they are good. Things are alright, they're more than alright.

Dream has not smiled quite so much in a long time. Calliope's eyes twinkle brightly as she teases him. Her smile soothes something inside him, it settles him. It is not to say she has lost her spark, but it is a warm, almost banked fire, instead of one that rages wildly. He feels at ease, like he belongs.

He freezes. He had not intended this to happen, but between their conversations and not-dates since they first reconnected, he's in love with her. He had been, but it's different but still the same. He should leave. He needs to go, he cannot burden her with this. This was not what Calliope had desired when she suggested they keep in touch. He's fucked this up again. He needs to go.

Calliope's hand settles on his and pulls him back. She calmly asks him not to panic and run, to please talk to her if there is something wrong, to be honest.

So, he does. He's still in love with her, new and different. He's fucked up their friendship by carrying this torch, if he hasn't already, then he will. He doesn't know what will happen next, he's terrified of losing her again after just having her back in his life.

Oh, we'll be alright Oh, it'll be alright Oh, we'll be alright Oh, it'll be alright

Calliope cups her hand around his and gently says she loves him too. Whatever comes next, they'll figure it out together. This time, they'll be alright.

#thank you for sending a number!! i cant believe the numbers worked out nicely that i can give them a better ending 😭😭😭 #fic idea kinda just turned into quasi fic musing oops! (haha muse-ing) #I hope you had some fun reading this monster. i am clearly no writer but i enjoyed doing this immensely 💜 #asks #tj_dragonblade #v's chatter

Rewatch Thoughts: 73 Yards

Millie has some great moments through this series so far acting-wise but she also sometimes misses so bad and kinda makes me cringe. The ‘I think I broke his heart’ moment is so bad

What hand movements is the woman even doing btw are we supposed to know bc I don’t

That woman appearing creeps me out so much like this is kinda the scariest Doctor Who episode of all time

I find it interesting that Ruby is seeing Susan and recognizing her but the Doctor hasn’t seen her yet (or at least not enough times to recognize her, he saw her in Boom, right?) 

So unless there’s some reveal that she’s been scheming all along, Susan is actually a different person in every ep, right? Like. She doesn’t have memory of being the other ppl. Unless she is pretending every time and is purposely following Ruby and the Doctor around. I think that would be more cool but there’s not really vibes that that’s the case. Though I guess that would be the point like she cant make it obvious that she’s purposely following them around. But viewer-wise, giving us a hint that that’s the case would be good. I feel like it’s not though

I'm interested to see what's up with Susan but I kinda don't have any theories still lmao. Looking forward to just seeing what happens

That woman defo made Ruby pay extra bc she was feeling mean right like there’s no way a coke from that pub costs a fiver

Why didn’t Ruby mention to that guy that like an hour ago Susan went up to the woman watching her and literally ran away in fear like. It feels like relevant info before you send someone to do that exact same thing

The way these ppl turn it all into a big prank is really funny (but also if I was Ruby I woulda starterd sobbing) but also so dumb low-key bc like. Ruby is clearly genuinely scared, there actually IS a woman following her, their friend actually DID just run when that isn’t something he usually does. Like. You’re pranking this teen as if there's not genuinely a woman stood on the street like HELLO. It’s obvs a thing they do with other ppl but. This is very clearly not like all those times idk

I kinda wish the vibe stayed like it was in that pub and they were actually being fr bc it starts out so strong

Carla going up to that woman is so dumb I fear like, you can say ‘they were Welsh ppl’ (even tho one of them wasn't even Welsh) as a reason to blow off what happened but like. You’re dumb. Ruby has been travelling with the Doctor for how long now? Over six months. Take shit more seriously bro

Ruby being left without Carla is really good but like. It just shouldn’t really have happened should it. Ruby shoulda put her foot down and been like no mum seriously that man left and wouldn’t come back and I don’t want that to be you

She looks like a 19yo with a shit hair cut and some glasses, that’s not a 30, 40, however old woman sorry !! She looks like a 19yos tryna cosplay as a grown woman. Idk HOW they coulda made her look believably older but it doesn’t work for me as is

The cut to her holding the coats lmao

Roger kinda reminds me of Daniel Sharman lookswise aka he’s fit

So. is Marti supposed to be pretty young and Ruby in her 30/40s bc on first watch I thought they were both basically the same age

I watched the intention of noticing the strange SA lines but I fully missed them icl. Which is not a good thing lmao I feel like I shouldn't be able to miss something that insane bc I didn't pay attention for 30 seconds yknow

The strange political turn this ep takes is SO strange idk. I think it’s pretty interesting. Roger has good villain vibes and Ruby defeating him by getting the woman to speak to him is really cool but I feel like it need more time to breathe??? It feels like it’s over before it’s even started idrk. I don’t typically notice strange pacing in eps like other ppl do but in this one it’s defo off

There’s something about the TARDIS just being left to gather dust etc that makes me so sad

Idk if I’m too stupid for eps like these, if they’re just not massively my vibe or if it was done not that well but this ep is.. Not my fave. Still a 3.5/5 bc individual aspects of it are great and the vibe of a lot of it is cool but just all together I’m like yeah I’m not sure and I kidna don’t care enough to bang on and on about what it all means like. OKAY. Next episode plz

#doctor who #nataliechats #ruby sunday #fifteenthdoctor

[nero-neptune]

everyday i can feel myself get meaner and meaner about political shit. bc it's a fucking Election Year. but historically, voicing my mean opinions "kills the vibe", so i'm tryna put a leash on it until like. mid/late summer. sorry i'm cursed to give a shit!

#i'm only ever a mean black bitch about politics. which would make me a bad politician ig but FUCK #i HATE going into election year mode. people on here are always sooo stupid!!!! #politics #rambles

[vakota]

The first time i saw Pulp fiction Mia and Vincent's dinamic felt so bumbleby coded. Then I watched it all over again with the pure intention of turning it into an AU fic later. Needless to say, I'm not gonna do that bc, it's lazy work (and maybe disrespectful) to basically switch their names and other characters from rwby in the script, and i dont feel comfortable doing it; and I have so many unfinished fucking fics, feels like im just sitting on a pile.

Anyway, i had a great delulu time on the hot train, tryna imagine the characters as rwby characters.

This idea has been scratching my mind for like 6 months.

Like Mr. Wallace is OBVIOUSLY Adam, who showed a man (Sun Wukong) out of the window supposedly for giving Mia (Blake) a foot massage.

After going out, Vincent (Yang) tries to convince themselves to be polite and go home because they should not break the trust of Mr. Wallace. And even the ketchup joke at the end. Like, Brotha!

I was debating on who Jules should be but imo Cinder came the closest.

IDK this might not even be a dead idea

Bonus: Adams ass gets destroyed by a cop

[cant-get-no-worse]

HI CIENE !!!!

i love love love your blog. seriously as a post wc footy fan (disculpe, por favor 💀🙏🏼) im trying to catch up on footy history & politics blah blah. you explain everything so beautifully, like you could rival tifo football on youtube. dead serious.

anyway, i wanted to ask if you could explain the whole neymar tryna sue barça episode bc im clueless there and coolers on twitter dot com are usless. ( not reshad tho !!! he’s so 😍 )

Hello love!! It's so sweet, thank you. I'm delighted to read my years of being shoved down this club's inability to keep finances and politics straight are proving themselves useful. 💀 And never apologize for becoming a footy fan recently; WCs are always wonderful in bringing new interest to the sport, they keep it fresh! Also, Reshad's one of the few Barça sources that usually doesn't get on my nerves, so. Kudos!

Anyways. I don't claim to have all the facts straights because I really don't, I'm just putting out there the very general ideas of what went down and my understanding of them. In today's episode: FC Barcelona, Neymar, Neymar's father, PSG, contracts clauses, and a lotta money. It is, after all, a rich man's world. Buckle up.

2013 : Neymar moves from Santos (Brazilian league) to FC Barcelona (Spanish league). Start of the problems.

See, it wasn’t a regular transfer. Initially, Neymar was set to go to Real Madrid; he’d even already passed medical tests. But Sandro Rosell (Barcelona then-President) bribed Neymar’s agent (his father. Very bright idea.) with some heavy fat checks. Neymar then signed to Barcelona. There were also some other movements which I’ll not get into.

What is important to retain from this is that Barcelona declared, in 2013, that Neymar's transfer from Santos costed FCB €50M (or something akin). But oh, color me surprised, they obviously didn’t declare the various amount of bribes and other money movements that had gone in to deter Neymar’s agent from Madrid and to bring the player to Barcelona.

Cause, ya know. That’s some sketchy stuff. You could also quite boldly say it’s illegal.

That’s where DIS Esporte, a company who “owned” Neymar (meaning : they were entitled to 40% of Neymar’s transfer rights) comes into play. DIS Esporte filed a lawsuit in late 2013/2014, claiming that they indeed had been paid 40% of the €50M declared transfer, but they believed the transfer didn’t cost only €50M (due to the bribes and such), and thus they were entitled to 40% of what the transfer actually costed.

A case was opened – this wasn’t small matter, Sandro Rosell (Barça Presi) resigned in 2014 due to the scandal - and it was finally settled before a judge that the €50M declaration was false, and the real transfer fee was more around the 70M/80M. Oops. Barcelona was eventually charged to pay some millions of compensation to close the case altogether.

Little did they know this was just the first taste of the Neymar financial issues and lawsuits ™.

October 2016 : Neymar signs a renewal contract binding him until 2021 with FC Barcelona. Everything’s happy and shiny, he’s Messi's successor, he's hot and successful, set to help his club win more UCLs, probably snatch a Ballon d’Or or two on the way, and continue to play in a swashbuckling style with his best buddies from Argentine and Uruguay.

The renewal contract includes several clauses, as do all such things, and most notably loyalty bonuses (money the player collects at the end of his contract). The loyalty bonuses of Neymar’s contract are around €43M, and since his release clause is an astronomical €222M, no way he’ll get out of the club lmfao.

July 2017 : Neymar gets out of the club.

In an unprecedented move in the football transfer world which leaves the market value of players forever changed for the worse, it is announced that PSG (French league) paid the €222M release clause with some good ol' Qatari money. The move in itself is subject to sketchy stuff, having been paid to FCB itself and not La Liga, but we're not gonna go into that cause na. Neymar himself announces, via a tearful Instagram video, that he is indeed leaving Barcelona.

Now, by the time rumors of his departure came around in May/June/July 2017, FC Barcelona had already paid €14M (out of the total €43M loyalty bonuses) to Neymar. Upon learning Neymar was actually entertaining the idea to leave, and then upon the actual €222M buying from PSG, the club stops the payment, thus not completing the initially agreed €43M sum, since they consider that, by leaving, Neymar hasn’t fulfilled his loyalty clause and thus isn’t entitled to receive any money from them.

An infamous se queda, some splendid social media trolling, a farewell dinner, the launch of a cold war from the FCB players against the board that was to last several years, some pretty creative insults and a life-time resentment being forged later, it’s August 2017.

August 2017 : Cicadas are singing, Despacito (feat Justin Bieber) is assaulting the eardrums of every unwilling car driver, and Neymar (or Neymar’s side, we don’t know from who the initiative came from) tries to sue Barcelona and ask them for the remaining €29M they claim he is owed from the loyalty bonuses.

FCB immediately respond by suing him back for breach of contract. Though they don’t only ask for him to drop the suing for the remaining €29M, naa. They also ask for him to return the €14M of the loyalty clause that had already been paid to him + 10% for delayed payment of said €14M + €8.5M in damages.

2019 summer transfer window : Amidst everything, Neymar and FC Barcelona reties links.

Funny how quick business relationship can change when it’s in everyone’s benefits.

Neymar wants out of PSG, is even willing to pay himself out from his own pocket, FCB is all the more willing to try and get him back after their spectacular UCL fumble. However, the deal fails, PSG don’t want to let him go, FC Barcelona fall short of a few millions to buy him out, and Neymar stays.

February 2020 : Lo and behold! A wild, shiny new lawsuit has appeared! And guess what? It’s all linked to the messy 2013 transfer from Santos! Just when ya think the skeletons are buried, a closet is kicked open.

Neymar’s side, this time, sues FC Barcelona for contingency payments who helped him move from Santos to FCB: essentially, they want some €7M more. So, you got two cases launched against FCB by Neymar’s side.

 June/July 2020 : The cases are presented before a judge in the High Court of Justice of Catalonia. A place Neymar starts to get familiar with. A place Leo Messi also got to know! Ah, football players’ agents and the wonderful, luring world of tax evasion.

Anyways, back to the loyalty bonuses. It’s finally ruled that Neymar has indeed breached his contract, and is therefore ordered by court to pay €6.7M to FC Barcelona.

Oh, wow. Thank God this whole circus is finished.

July 2020 : Neymar’s side appeals.

November 2020 : Now, if you sum up everything that Neymar’s side ask from Barcelona, you get the charming sum of almost €60M.

July 2021 : After many trials and tribulations, it is finally made public by the club that all cases and suing have been resolved amicably between the club and the player outside of court.

Read: huge amount of cash and verbal accords because, presumably, everyone got tired and saw they wouldn’t benefit neither financially nor image wise from the current situation.

And so, they lived happily ever after.

Or till the next summer transfer window.

hmmm. most of my fics are like alternate media-based au concepts or lil oneshots or stories that are yet to have endings, so hard to say exactly which is angstiest.

i think my angstiest story is a pre-hydra reveal agents of shield one i did as a secret santa for someone where fitz was dead(?!!?!?) and grant ward showed up to bring jemma simmons back to the team and that was yeaaaaars ago but whenever i think of it i'm always like ok wow i hope that is what that person wanted. what bold choices to make in a gift for a stranger!!

other than thaaat i do think of i carry it in mine as a fairly angsty fic but it's intended to have a not so angsty ending so

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

well please trust that any princess diaries or miss congeniality au is going to end up with the main ship getting together, presumably happily for the rest of their lives!! desert hearts (aka all the best people see you all the best people know) is heading towards a happy ending. howl (sansa-centric scream au) i think will have roughly as happy an ending as any horror movie final girl can hope for.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

ummmm not really. i definitely have but the only time it felt like anything other than a one-off was when i essentially started tumblr beef by wandering into the wrong tag. and that was not fun and people were hating on their own blogs for a min BUT it died down and nobody really went out of their way to bother me directly about it after that, so it was not ideal but it was fine. tagging etiquette is tricky!!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

hmmmmmmmm historically no. but i have outlined smut!! and i'm thinking about actually writing some maybe even soon!! it's interesting bc i've discussed smut with friends and edited for them and used to roleplay and write smut scenes and that all felt fine but i haven't yet wrapped my head around the idea of being like "this is my little smut scene i made up all by myself and now i'm broadcasting it to the masses." feels like i'm opening myself up to psychoanalysis!! but also maybe once i actually write the smut scene i'll be like oh. no biggie. ok post. so we'll see hahahahah

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

not crossovers in the traditional sense but crossovers in the sense that i pick up my little blorbos and cast them in other tv shows/movies/etc, yes, constantly.

i mentioned howl above but i love that one, my sansa-centric scream au. i love jon snow mia thermopolis princess diaries hahahahah. i think it's cute and funny. i love using robin and chrissy from stranger things to make miss congeniality gay. the fic i'm posting in a few days for the stranger things rare pair big bang is also about robin and chrissy in a lil reality tv verse, so that one is really fun and silly and sweet too i think.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i don't think so! the only time anything like this has happened to me was like a tumblr rp blog misunderstanding a long time ago.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no but that would be cool!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no but i started writing mainly through role playing! so that was co-writing just in a different sense, and i miss that. it's also just really fun to talk about ideas and stuff with friends and then not always actually have to write them. i do play around with concepts a lot with @mistysharks and @beholdthemem for chrissy and the stranger things teen crew, and @cellsshapedlikestars and i also help each other brainstorm sansa and jon related asoiaf stuff which i always super appreciate

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i'm more of a favorite ship per fandom kind of gal than a favorite ship over all, but i'm also a multishipper in that i can kind of get into my main blorbos with anyone. i'm super still in my chrissy phase rn and i love writing her with robin, but also in a lil steve/chrissy/eddie ot3. that said i feel like i mainly read hellcheer!!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i hope it doesn't surprise anyone to hear that i DO have designs to finish i carry it in mine!! and howl. and desert hearts. like i have specific enough endings in mind that i am working towards for all of those.

the wip that i wish i could finish but know i never will is my marauders mediator series au based on the meg cabot books where lily can talk to ghosts and james is a ghost. i started writing it like back in 2015!! and then even started rewriting it in 2020. and i still love it. but it would be a big project to take on and one that would take a lot more work to figure out, let alone just write, and i don't really see it happening. that said i will always love it!!!

i also started a resurrection au marauders story where lily etc all start coming back to life when harry is like 24 so seven years after the end of the books, and i always thought the like emotional drama in that was so slay too. but the resurrection show itself never really had good answers for the paranormal plot/how it would play out and so i didn't have anything to crib off of lmao. and i never really invested much thought into figuring it out myself iirc. so i never really knew like plotwise where i wanted it to go so much as i was just like "how would the characters react if this happened" but i did like that thought exercise. maybe i would've written more if it would've felt like that would be satisfying to read for other people without actual like. plot.

16. What are your writing strengths?

ummm i'm really interested in like. character profiles. so i think i tend to gravitate towards that sort of story personally. a character figuring themselves/what they want out.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

low key i just like almost never write physical description stuff into my stories?? like it's all fanfiction so i'm like ok first of all you already know what everybody looks like. it takes a lot more active effort for me to be like. does the reader need to know what the character looks like right now?? does the reader need to have a clear vision of where the characters are?? what the room looks like?? i could probably afford to do that more but i find that i tend to skip it a lot

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

hmmm i really only have one fic where that might apply i think. i'd probs try to do it minimally bc i wouldn't want to do a bad job but if it's just one line i could see myself just, you know, doing google translate if i don't know a speaker i can run it by

19. First fandom you wrote for?

harry potter!! i found my way to marauders era pretty quick.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

i have a lot of love and tenderness in my heart for desert hearts and i carry it in mine. so far those are like my heart-squeezey fics imo. but i also love howl!!! a combination of some of my favorite interests and stories. i feel like these are my main three wips too so i gotta just keep tinkering away until a new chapter falls out. hopefully sooner than later for desert hearts and i carry it in mine, which i have in fact been reorganizing a lil lately!!

anyway!!

ty again for the tag @2btheanswertothequestion!! if you want to do this: @cellsshapedlikestars @mistysharks @beholdthemem @chdarling

Ok sorry to do this again despite admitting I don't know shit the first time (I'm the "isn't it both" anon) but I had some more thoughts.

So, even tho being ex eastern bloc is defo relevant for certain analyses of current situations, I don't think it should play too hard into tryna determine whether a country you aren't from can be considered eastern Europe (tho i think it's valid to bring into it if it's about your own country probably? I am not a politically versed person) and one of the reasons I say this is that my mum is from Saxony which was part of the GDR.

The family had been preparing to leave for years and eventually did so a few months before reunification (kinda hilarious tbh) and I myself grew up in (former) western germany (tho i was born years after reuni anyway) so I never lived in the GDR or even in any former GDR states myself but my mother has always shared a lot of stories but that's besides the point.

And like... nobody is calling the ex GDR states (let alone germany as a whole) eastern Europe. There's even ppl who consider us western Europe (I think we're pretty firmly central but tbh western vs central as a distinction isn't as important (bc I do know central vs eastern carries a lot more weight n stuff) so I don't really care) despite part of our country having been eastern bloc. So when people (specifically non ex eastern bloc folks, you're obviously fine) use it as an argument it feels hypocritical.

And obviously ex GDR states had the support of other german states so it was much easier for them to recover but imo the modern day economics are way closer to helping determine whether a country is eastern Europe? Not geographically obvs but in my mind (feel free to correct me) eastern european is kinda like asian in that it shouldn't be an important distinction going by geography but in terms of politics and dynamics and stuff it very much is and it matters.

Like, eastern europeans, at least within Europe, dunno how true it is elsewhere, are kinda oppressed? Like, if I meet a western european (esp an english person) they're prolly not gonna be xenophobic to me when I tell them where I'm from but if I was like Belarusian or something, they might. And then there's the economic stuff and also like social progression.

I've heard a lot about eg LGBT rights in Hungary and stuff like that and no shade or anything ofc, especially to the LGBT ppl living there such as (i think?) yourself and the other Hungarians I follow, but it does feel a lot less progressive.

Things aren't perfect here either or anything but they're getting better, we've had marriage equality for same sex couples (not (all) nb or intersex ppl tho) for over half a decade, forced trans sterilisation was declared unconstitutional 12 years ago and we're finally getting that self-determination bill put into place next year and then I can get that d. D stands for diverse in this case, it's our third legal gender (tho we also have "none", none gender can't get married)

Meanwhile transitioning in Hungary was outlawed three years ago and there's plenty of other countries where it's still a struggle and all in all it just feels kinda... distinct? Like how scandinavian (or nordic in general) countries feel like they're on a different economic and societal level from us(excl), the latter especially in regards to sexism, education and incarceration but also other stuff.

Obvs there's always so many factors but it's always felt to me like they were, forgive me for simplifying, the "higher" tier of europeans in at least those areas compared to my life in central Europe. Grass is always greener somewhere I guess. But I'm gonna get back on track.

So even tho geographically it's hard to argue that Hungary isn't central Europe, I think it might be politically. And it's not the only country that feels like this to me, like eg Romania is geographically southeast but politically I personally view it as firmly eastern tho obvs I'm no authority.

Anyway, sorry this got so long lmao I have not been awake for long yet and my brain's a little squished lol. Hope this wasn't a completely useless read, sorry if it was. Keep on keeping on 👍

Oh hi i got scared for a sec when i saw that i got a whole block of text. I'm not really up to politics talk rn, but what you're saying makes a lot of sense to me!! Though i havent seen anyone consider romania central before, i've always thought of the border between us as the edge of central europe. Probably because of the timezone difference ngl

[taikanyohou]

Can I ask you something? If Bls fetishize gay men, is there really anyway to ethically consume any series at all?

hiiii anon!!!!

oh good question.

ok. so. i think recent bl's, i'd say .... from 2020-ish, maybe even 2018/2019 tbh, have taken that step forward where, they're tryna move away from blantant fetishising, and become more progressive, not just towards gay men, but the asian queer community in general, and anyone who identifies themselves within that community.

that being said, of course there will be instances where queer asian people, including queer asian men, will be fetishised.

i think the biggest example in terms of progression has been in the sheer amount different genres of asian queer shows that are produced, and in addition to that, in the increasing number of people who both behind the cameras and in front of them identify as asian and queer too.

also i feel like the way sex is used in asian queer shows has shifted. yes, of course, there are still instances of rape/non-con/dub-con, but there was a time when sex was Literally Only used within asian queer shows For That Only. now? sex is used to explore dynamics, explore feelings, progress a story, progress a relationship. its treated as a character, in a sense, and given some meaning and substance. also, that includes the whole top/bottom discourse too. like. i think there's just more looseness and freedom to it now? like. yeah, some characters LIKE bottoming, some LIKE topping, some ARE versatile! for example, i call pete from kinnporsche a pillow princess ALL the time, and thats bc he IS. thats with no malice or rudeness or any intent to fetishise him as being all weak and delicate, usually the traits that are associated with "being a bottom", bc he isnt weak or delicate! but during sex, he LIKES being the taker, he likes receiving, and that plays a huuuuge part in his character's development later on in the show.

i'd also say "coming out stories" have recently not been .... THAT heavily used, within recent shows that i have watched? and thats not to say that coming out stories arent important! of course they are. or there's a lesser case of characters having internalised homophobia, filled with shame and self-loathing bc they realise they're queer, in recent shows i have watched. thats not to say they dont question who they are, they do, but they dont hate themselves for being queer. its more a case of exploration. and its so nice to see that for a change? asian queer characters being gentle on themselves, learning to treat themselves with patience and time to navigate their identity. and its so nice to also see asian queer characters for a change who are just, queer! loud and queer!

what i'm trying to say is that they are all stories at the end of the day. and all forms of story telling, from healthy to toxic, from stories of kids in school to students in uni to working adults, from coming out stories to stories that talk about sparking a political revolution, stories that are coming of age or a slice of life, stories that span all types of backgrounds and time periods, should be able to be told. and sometimes they'll have characters that are already so comfortably queer in their own skin and some that aren't, and there'll be some stories that are more tame in terms of how physical they are and like to explore the more emotional nuances of the story and some that like to explore sex in a multitude of ways. there's really no right or wrong in terms of wanting to set out a story and choosing which way to tell it. the scope is so huge.

now. like i said. not every asian queer piece of media will be faultless, and there will be instances of fetishisation. but i also want to look at how far we've come! i've been around watching asian queer media since ... god .... i cant even remember how long, its been that long, and ive seen how far we've come. as an asian queer person myself, it gives me so much pride and joy in seeing that!

and i think, the older and more mature i have gotten, my mindset has changed a lot. now, i like to see stories and media as a whole thing. that, yes, there will be faults and its not going to be perfect. but as someone who can compartmentalise, as a consumer, as an audience member, as an asian queer person, as someone who is watching this as a form of escapism, i'll recognise the faults and the things i'm not fond of, or that dont sit right with me, and put them to one side, and still allow myself to enjoy the rest of the story/media. otherwise, i'll never be able to enjoy anything ever again, if i scrutinise every single little thing and every little detail ethically. like i said, not everything will sit right with me, but i can work with that and say "yeah i didnt like that narrative choice" and put it to a side, and move on. and if its reeeeeeally bugging me, i'll just drop the show. now, some people like doing that (scrutinising every little detail through ethical lenses) and thats their choice in how they view media. but ig i'm not like that? and i can let myself enjoy asian queer stories that are trying to say something, to convey something, as a bigger picture.

and yeah, there will be instances where queer characters in asian media will get fetishised, there will be the whole "husband and wife" and "girls on campus stalking a queer couple" etc etc etc. but i can look at all that and say to myself, yeah, work needs to be done here, whilst also enjoying the rest of the show and what its trying to convey or tell.

so yeah, i do think you can, if as a consumer, you can appreciate the bigger picture whilst also understanding that we've still got some room for progress.

hcs about miss pen coming right up—

(I'm so excited to type this cause it's like those art videos where they choose colours without light and then is skin is green kwim? )

1) can follow along with a recipe/good enough cook but don't do it often cause don't want to wash up (absolutely valid if tho– bartan are just not the vibe)

2) social actually like not daily put partying but have this group of 5-6 friends that you just have always have had you know

3) not teachers pet but also not a trouble maker. they used to have a soft spot for you but you were a bit sarcastic talkative in class or used to have longer nails or something that would make you occasionally get in trouble

4) either took 4 classes of art as kid or very good dancer.

5) I'm gonna go with favourite subject was EVS till 5th-6th

6) have never broken a bone but did have stupid injuries as a kid

7) type of person who complaints about it's too hot/too cold, says their favourite season is Mansoon but jab humidity hoti h you're like nah i think i actually prefer winter (it's a lie you don't like any seasons)

8) friends parents and relatives used to say like you're the role model (in the sense ki beta dekho ye kitni polite/ kitni achche se baat kar rhi h/ kitni helpful h/ basically auntie whisperer) and your friends/cousins would just look at the aunties that have they grown two heads cause ye ladki? ye — abhi do second phle hame aise harkaton ke ideas de rhi thi.

9) absolutely not a morning person (which If thai you are i would be so surprised cause your sleep schedule 😭)

10) like fashion to a reasonable extent like whenever you step out you're put together in an effortless way it's not a remarkable oh my god look at this person's style. but a second they notice you properly wow you look good today type.

!!!! omg ash, lowkey impressed at how right u are for some of these? like,,,now i’m frantically combing thru our conversations tryna figure out where i gave myself away lmao

1. is half correct—i’m a pretty good cook (if i do say so myself 💀) and i actually like washing dishes lol so that’s never stopped me—i am very chindi tho, so i reuse bartan all the time to minimise.

2. true!! i’m fully an extrovert and i have about 2-3 groups of solid friends from different periods of my life; 10/10 would recommend, esp girl gangs.

3. no but this is literally so on point?? i was a very well liked child but i also talked the heck out of everyone’s patience and i was always bouncing around to other classes + i’d exasperated many (including the principal) w my coloured hair & messy uniforms & general…rowdiness lol

4 & 5 are sadly incorrect :( i did take classes for almost everything as a child but i’m not great at any of it. and my fav class is and always has been english!! (until socio came & overtook)

6. beep! another winner!!! i have all sorts of scratches and cuts and scars bc i used to do so much stupid shit. i remember climbing this half-constructed structure once bc there were puppies somewhere inside and i rly wanted to see and ended up having this like. rebar rod thing fully slice into my forearm. u can still see the scar now, like over a decade later lol

and no yaar 😭😭 i like to think 7 is not me—i’m v accommodating and i try not to complain even when i rly wanna (growing up around whiny rich kids has instilled a fear in me to not be the same lol)

8 is very, very true. i take a lot of pride in being almost all my friends’ parents’ favorite; aunty whisperer is a v good name for it too bc grandparents love me ;) (and yes, i was also the one to corrupt almost every single of them. fun times)

u already know 9 is true lmao what can i even say

and 10–hmmmmmmmmmm i’ll give it a. 0.3. bc im a very. very staunch ‘grab whatever and put it on’ kinda gal which means i can (and have) live(d) off The Chair for months on end. it never looks terrible but yah. acceptable i’d say.

What do you think of me: HC edition

#no. 3 is very james potter coded u don’t have to tell me #he’s my fav character to project onto lol #re 7– i remember not using the AC even when the temp was going into 40s bc i was stubborn #and wanted to increase my tolerance lol #would come straight home from school and plop down o the cool floor w my shirt off just for relief #i also think i should stop over sharing here before i accidentally doxx myself 💀💀 #but like also. this was so fun????? i wanna do more of these #if anyones seeing this—help a girl out will ya #pen’s asks #ask game #ppb

[clingyduoapologist]

I think. I think the reason modern au exile gets me is bc. There would be no reason (in this au) for Tommy to know something is wrong. He wasn't dragged away to an island, he's just Dream's roommate. He isn't isolated via miles and miles of ocean, Dream just wants him to stay home so it makes sense that he'd do it, yeah? What with all Dream has been doing for Tommy, he can do one little thing for Dream. It's not that big of a deal. There wasn't a political ultimatum that resulted in his situation, Tommy needed somewhere to stay and Dream kindly offered.

It's the sorta thing where he would be able to play things off (Dream hurting him is NOT a big deal, Tommy's just so long and thin that he gets hurt rather easy and Dream is used to his friends being bigger. Dream taking his things makes sense, Tommy doesn't need them as much as Dream does. Tommy shouldn't have been hurt by the things he said, Dream is telling him the truth, and if the truth happens to hurt that bad then that's a problem for Tommy to fix) until it was laid in front of his eyes with big, glaring letters. He would be able to shove off his doubts because Dream is just some guy. Random guys don't abuse their friends.

And this is ABSOLUTELY NOT to say that Tommy should have noticed something wrong in canon. Dream had a very specific sort of manipulation tactics and it isn't in the least Tommy's fault for having been victim to it. What I'm tryna say is that modern au wouldn't have any of the same suspension of disbelief necessary, it's just Dream, Tommy, and their abusive relationship. It does a sort of thing to me ouhyjgouh I've been thinking about this for so long

It’s just so subtly horrifying that Dream would just get Tommy away and break down his entire sense of self, for no other reason than he want to. There isn’t even a veil of “oh it’s for control” or “oh it’s just politics” it’s a guy being horrible to someone because he wants to

omg i’m a pisces sun too :)) anyway i hope you enjoy my dear and thank you for the request !

from stranger things i match you with;

eddie munson !

ugh i’m so down bad for him ngl

- the opposites attract scenario with eddie always gets me, like hyper fem with absolutely teenage dirtbag makes me so happy and it’s so cliche but unexpected and i see it and i love it

- he loves to play his guitar for you, at first to just get an opinion of how something sounds or if what he’s written is any good but eventually he invites you over to listen to him play just so he can impress you

- has zero idea how you like the music you like, but definitely learns covers of your favorite songs to perform with corroded coffin on holidays like your bday or valentines and omfg it’s so sweet

from the marvel universe i match you with;

tasm! peter parker !

i know ! he’s not technically in the mcu (well kinda) but i can’t get it out of my head

- y’all meet in the subway, it’s like one of those “they made eye contact and knew they were soulmates” type things

- when you find out he’s spidey he loves taking you with him to eat sandwiches on rooftops and talk about whatever pop culture thing is relevant at the time

- he likes to talk about the sciency things he does and loves it when you talk about your interests- to be honest he could talk to you forever, whether it be at night or in class or on a date- he just can’t get enough
