#but i honestly and truly dont care or want to watch the new shows

[bogslob]

I think zukos character development is kinda missing in the live action. In the original he does bad things and hurts people, here they let other people do his part. Just to make him more likeable? Just like taking sokkas sexism away, it's not a bad thing as long as he grows out of it.

Hi, this is so exciting, my very first one of these question thingys.

Okay so I kinda agree with you. I do feel like Zukos anger has been kinda watered down, but he still does bad things and I honestly dont feel like his character changed that much . For example in the cartoon his attack on Aang set Kyoshi on fire and it didnt in the live action and I don’t feel like this has any repercussions on his character because I never felt like it was intentional to set the fire it was just a by product of Zuko trying to capture Aang, and I feel like if it had happened in the live action Zuko would have reacted the same way. I think Zuko never wanted to hurt people, but capturing the avatar was so important to him that if people got hurt on the way so be it, capturing Aang was worth it, but I don’t think in either version he would have hurt people if he could have avoided it.

I think thats what makes Zukos character development possible, he never wanted to cause any harm. I think it’s important that we see that what ever is going on with Zuko he truly cares about people. I think one of the key moments that shows this is when in “the storm” (cartoon) Zuko momentarily gives up on capturing Aang and prioritises his crews safety. I think another key moment was when Zuko attempted to save Zhao from koi-Aang, it seemed so poignant that even when he was the bad guy he would try and save his enemy.

I think it’s his desperation thats missing in the live action. The absolute drive to capture Aang and regain his honour. I think the reason he was willing to put other people in danger is because he valued capturing Aang over all else, at the end of the day, it was Zuko who was in the most danger every time, he was always the one to fight Aang head on. I think this is best evidenced when he swims through the seal holes to enter the northern water tribe. I just don’t feel like live action Zukos heart is truly in it in the same way. I think this is so important for Ozais and Zukos relationship, and without Zuko having this same desperation it seems less plausible that he would re join the fire nation at the end of season 2. We have already seen that the live action Zuko has fought Ozai at the agni kai, which makes me feel like he is allready further on his journey towards rebellion. Although to be fair his lack of desperation may be in part due to the fact that live action Ozai seems to have a slightly better relationship with Zuko, almost seeming proud of him for finding the avatar (although we also have no idea how he acted when he was around Zuko), but he does still burn Zukos face off so I think this is unlikely.

At the end of the day, I think both Zukos loyalty is to the fire nation, but I think in season 1 cartoon Zukos loyalty is to Ozai and live action Zukos loyalty is to his people.

But obviously this is all subjective and from the point of view of someone who has watched the cartoon many times and therefore my opinion is heavily influenced by this. I also feel like live action Zuko may be better than he really was in my brain because honestly he was the only character I liked. I am very curious how someone new to the series would view live action Zuko though.

#that was a very long winded way of saying I agree but also dont #i definitely need to watch both series’s again #and compare the differences #i havent seen the cartoon in years #and to be honest I didn’t pay that much attention to the live action #what are the seal things called i cant remember #nahvatar the last airbender #atla live action #atla netflix #atla #natla spoilers #natla #netflix avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender live action #avatar live action #avatar #Zuko

Reader taking care of Jax, Kinger, and Ragatha when they're sick

well.. as sick as you can get when you're in the digital world LMAO i think im going to write this and try something for a new fandom to introduce to this blog then write another thing then eeerrrrm i think i might take a break and draw since ive got a few ideas i wanna scribble down before i forget and/or lose this tiny spark of motivation eheheheh

RAGATHA:

originally i was going to say that ragatha is stubborn when shes sick... as in she wants to do what she needs to do for the day, if there is any obligation for her... but also at the same time, i dont think ragatha would be like that out of fear of getting someone else sick... maybe theres some denial in the beginning before succumbing when her symptoms get worse ? very easy to care for when sick, though i dont think she would let you hang around her for long to try to keep you from getting sick too.. i think as soon as shes feeling better/beating her symptoms she tries to check on you to make sure you didnt catch whatever she had.. and if you did... well i guess thats another post for another day. not very needy or whiny when sick, at most she might ask for something to keep her occupied if shes not sleeping the entire time

JAX:

the opposite of ragatha, hes going to be annoying about it but its hard to tell if hes genuinely just that whiney or if hes playing it up to keep your attention.. i can see both honestly. will never say it (because it might make you stop!) but he loves watching you fret over him (well he wont say it because he doesnt want to admit that he likes the extra care and attention). though i do still think that he would be stubborn, trying to keep up with his antics even though he should be in bed. so youre going to be working hard to keep him in his room... actually getting him to rest is an entirely different beast. truly, the biggest test in your relationship with this bunny is when hes sick

KINGER:

i think hes the type to over react when hes (or when anyone for that matter) is sick... though i think the bulk of that is due to his mental state currently in the circus... if this were before that or when he was more new to it, he'd be pretty normal about it... but then again how often do you get sick in the circus? i mean yeah sure you're showing your normal flu symptoms but theres also glitching thats far too similar to abstracting... can you really blame him for being scared? definitely worries about the smallest things and symptoms when hes sick, so youre probably going to have to sit by him and keep him calm. urge him to rest, exchange stories, ect ect. do i think he would become stressed enough to actually abstract right there? probably not, but its still distressing nonetheless... actually i think he might calm down and listen to you if he sees YOU becoming distressed.. doesnt want to make you feel bad, he pulls through for you

[sampsonstorm-critical]

Alright. So as you can see from the explosion of my blog, I'm back. So I did in fact see the new episode of Helluva boss and the music video and I'm not gonna talk about them. Why? Because they both encase the same fucking issues as EVERYTHING else.

What I am gonna talk about however is the basics of what I personally enjoy about Helluva Boss, why I have that opinion, AND what I don't like, and why I have that opinion as well.

SO

What I do like:

- I enjoy, unlike some others, the colors. I do love saturated colors. I think it is beautiful and one reason I'm so disappointed in the show, because I can't enjoy it with everything else. I like this because it reminded nds me of the Legend of Spyro the first two games anyway. I love those games because the scenery was gorgeous to look at. The gameplay was a bitch so I'm at least happy I had nice stuff to look at while I was PISSED.

- I do enjoy the lack of censorship and honestly I wish it had more. Not gonna lie before the show pooped it's pants in the race, I was expecting nudity or sex scenes? I'm from the furry community soooo. I was also expecting real adult topics but we'll get to that. I was expecting that because, nudity and sex is part of life. And sex actually plays a huge role in personal personality traits in a character imo.

- I enjoy the voice actors and their talents. It's hard to find, or it used to be hard to find good voice actors in indie animation. I'm not big on celebrity promotion because I think personally indie should be pulling some fresh talent to its feet and helping those who really want to but can't get in the "professional Hollywood scene"

- I enjoy the animation cause holy crap, do these animators have talent. Some of the designs and effects they have to do, like in the music video, are beautiful.

NOW

What I don't like

- the designs. Character designs are supposed to say something about a character, convey them as people, or tell you something about the environment. Now I understand everyone has an art style but bodies and faces vary even in style, and especially in a fantasy world. Same goes for clothing and accessories, UNLESS the fashion for a certain time calls for similarities. All of the characters in Helluva Boss have the same features AND they are over-cluttered with un necessary add one. Why I don't like that- because characters SHOULD be varied for at least 1 reason: 1 because looks define a character on the outside, maybe the inside too but good writing can sell a narrative that is composed of (what I look like on the outside and who I truly am on the inside).

- the swearing. Good god. I swear LIKE A TRUCKER. I DONT CARE ABOUT PROFANITY OR SEX JOKES. However, in a piece of media, yet again, a character's dialogue, body language, and how they speak tells you something about the character and or their environment. For Example from Lackadaisy pilot: all of the characters. ALL OF THEM except for one, looks bad sounds like they belong there. The character who doesn't seem like they fit in? ROCKY! BUT THATS GOOD! Because from what I've seen, he's a black sheep. He seems like hes not supposed to fit in. That seems to be his whole struggle. Now For example from Helluva Boss: Blitzo swearing is good. He's a profane dickhead. It fits him. However Moxie? Moxie is portrayed to be innocent and kinda soft. He should stay that way to foil Blitzos character. Striker swearing? Fine but watch what he says. Country folk swear differently than City folk. Stolas swearing? The aristocratic rich try to swear different than the poor because they have a level of decorum to follow amongst one another. They see themselves as better than you so they try and act like it. They try to hide their profane ways. If youre gonna have swearing and sex jokes make sure whatever swear or joke is coming out of someone's mouth fits their personality. If it's out of character, then have that character have a reaction. Like a Catholic who says God damn for the first time in a heated argument.

- the callous attitude toward serious problems. I'll list a few big ones. 1: sexual assault. 2: alcoholism. 3: Classism. 4: Incest?. I don't like the joking manner of sexual assault, the callous disregard for a plot based on coerced rape, the jokes on alcoholism, or the jokes and callous disregard for how the show portrays Classism. why? 1: I was a sexual assault victim along with MANY of my friends. 2: my dad just struggled with alcoholism and died of liver failure and it is much more graphic and heart breaking than people understand. Nothing will make you feel more defeated than battling with an alcoholic, still loving them, then watching them die while your whole family suffers. 3: I'm a poor person who struggles against Classism. I'm not a minority but from what I see other minorities suffer and say about this, and what I know about the history of racism in my country, this needs to be addressed especially when adding Classism and coerced rape into the mix. 4: it seems like there are A LOT of incest implications in the second season. Obvious reasons to not like it. Now it it was played on well, and ADRESSED narratively?

- the behind the scenes allegations. Obvious reasons why I don't like that, but I have now way to know what true and what isn't. However, you can tell A LOT about a creator by what they write and more importantly HOW they write it.

And one more note: I wouldn't care about this shows flaws at all if it wasn't trying to take itself seriously and ouch us into liking these irredeemable characters. If it WAS just a raunchy, shock humor comedy like say Robot Chicken? Then weeeeeee have fun. Robot Chicken IS. NASTY. and I love it! But it doesn't have a serious plot. Even when Family Guy tries to do serious plots, the tone still remains where it is when it needs to. Brian was a dickhead but it was genuinely sad the way they portrayed his death. And the show was good in it's first seasons imo. In my OPINION. I used to like the show but...it ran too long. And that's Helluva Bosses problem. It's running too long. It was supposed to be a short comedy focused on IMP. AND then they tried to make it a plot to run for a while. If done well, great, it could've been great. But it is clear the writers DO NOT have the life experience and or the reflection and maturity to write these seriously heavy topics. Helluva Boss comes off as a fetish comic, the ones I'm not unused to seeing in the furry community. Don't get me wrong, some comics are actually pretty good buuuuut it's obviously porn so the story gets lost alot lol. This show shouldn't feel like an E621/ Yaoi comic/hentai. But it does...

SO yeah. That's my opinion on the whole show so far and honestly I'm not sure if gonna even watch it anymore. We shall see.

[hearteyesmcgarrett]

is it weird to just answer the ask meme questions without actual asks? probably, but i want to yell about fandom shit rn so you can't stop me

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. its obvious that im in a grimm fixation rn, so i have to say nick/monroe as a romantic ship (or nick/monroe/rosalee), and the whole gang as a platonic relationship. For SGA, i'm always a mcshep fan but i honestly enjoy any pairing of AR1. Anyone that has followed me for an extended period of time knows that im a mcdanno (H50) and leverage ot3 truther as well.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind. hmm, not sure? OH some folks doing the sga kinkmeme have mentioned john/cam and im very intrigued

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will. Rodney/Jennifer :( I love Jennifer, but the writers consistently changed her characterization and that relationship felt forced and weird (SGA)

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t. John/Elizabeth. I'm sorry! maybe its just because im gay af but to me their relationship felt like bffs, not romantic (SGA)

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what? I made that stargate cinnamon roll meme, if that counts

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? ~10 years

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it? i'm a multishipper for sure, but one of the first ships i remember really clearly was eric/ryan from csi miami (circa age like 12)

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)? TV!

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? I dont know that it was entirely tumblr, but yeah, Voltron. The fandom was truly fucking awful

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.) uhhhh, like every show tbh. 99% of the shows i watch came from tumblr or online friends

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc? Eliot Spencer (Leverage)

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. hmm, I guess Adalind counts as a character who isnt one of my faves. She's a complex and interesting character, and its clear that a lot of her decisions come from a place of trauma. After having Diana it really shows that she does want to protect her and keep her safe (grimm)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend. Ronon (SGA), Hardison (Leverage), Teal'c (SG1), etc

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom 1. men showing emotions!!! (grimm does this well, thankfully) 2. on a similar note: depicting how the shit these characters get up to is traumatizing and how that impacts them long term 3. literally any canon queer rep. can we PLEASE have a show like stargate or grimm where one of the characters (especially a man) is canonically queer? is that so hard???

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of? Forfeit by Rise Against always makes me think of ascended Daniel/Jack (SG1). Oh and ever since i saw a gifset with lyrics from it, Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back Sunday makes me think of John (SGA)

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas). one of these fuckin days i am going to write a baseball SGA AU

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why. As previously mentioned: Voltron because the fan base was toxic and awful

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom? all my favorite fandoms are themed around found family so this is so hard lmao. Nick & Hank (Grimm), Eliot & Harry (Leverage Redemption), Harry & Breanna (LR), Don & Charlie if brothers count (Numb3rs), etc

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon anyone who reads my H50 fics knows that i will fuckin die on the hill that Danny has an anxiety disorder

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?  besides anxious danny, I'd say John having ADHD (SGA), and Monroe being bi (Grimm) are two right off the top of my head

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites 1. Steve McGarrett (H50) - he's been through so much shit, but he's still so damn loyal and protective and kind. He's such a good dude who is just traumatized beyond belief. 2. Charlie Eppes (Numb3rs) - besides the fact that i am CONVINCED he has ADHD, he's just so fucking loving and passionate about his work and the people he loves. he balances out the hardness of Don and the gang with the sheer size of his heart 3. Eliot Spencer (Leverage) - basically the same reason as steve. I have a type.

V - Which character do you relate to most? this is tough. probably Daniel (SG1) - esp early seasons - because of similar worldviews and interests and personalities, and Danny (H50) because of similar personalities

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom. MISCOMMUNICATION!! its so frustrating.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. im a big ol softie so i love stuff like mutual pining, hurt/comfort, etc.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms Good Omens is a big one rn lmao. I've read the book but haven't watched the show. Also, Daredevil probably. I watched at least the first season years ago, but haven't seen anything beyond that. I still enjoy seeing people's posts about it and i read fic sometimes

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! im so cranky rn about the lack of depiction of trauma/mental illness/neurodivergence/etc in fandoms where its to be expected. like with Grimm rn, you give Nick PTSD and sensory enhancements but then suddenly forget about them?? that's not how that works! Or why is it always just hinted at that characters are ND? why is it so hard to just be like 'yeah no x has ADHD (or whatever)'? i want to be able to actually have complex/tough/interesting/etc protags that are ALSO neurodiverse. if we're all reading John as having ADHD (SGA) or Parker being autistic (leverage) anyways, why can't these things just be intentionally part of the character

#sorry i just have opinions and wanted to yell into the void about them #ask game

[casualavocados]

alright, here comes the long ass super personal and sentimental post absolutely nobody asked for (you’re welcome)

i watched episode 1 of bad buddy the day it aired (1 year ago today!) out of sheer luck. i dont even remember how i discovered it, but my initial thought was: “im bored. it’s 11pm and i dont want to go to sleep. this trailer looked fun. oh it came out today? sure what the fuck.” and i watched it in bed, on my phone. completely fucking unaware of what was about to happen to me and my life - and this honestly amuses me so much when i think about it because let me tell you...

i am NOT one to watch romance for romance’s sake. i really couldnt care less for it tbh. i’m not what i’d call a shipper at all (though i used to be, and if you remember my blog back then i owe you financial compensation bc tbh that whole spectacle exhausted me ANYWAY-). 

romance is just something ive always preferred as a side dish to plot, bc i only tend to like it when it’s super well done, and ive never found any of it very realistic. this was actually pretty unfortunate for past me bc fun fact, i am a little bit of a hopeless romantic, and romcoms are my guilty pleasure. the problem is i also dont like any of them enough to care about them after ive satisfied my initial “i want to watch something cheesy and cute” urge. i’d seen a few other bl’s over the years but only bc i was bored or wanted to watch something gay, and none of them had ever stuck in my mind after i finished them. i actively avoided those fandom spaces so i definitely wasn’t keeping up with what was new. 

(now listen, i have very specific thoughts on bl itself, but im not gonna get into that here (and actually miscellar said yesterday that the bl difference between 2020 and 2022 is unrecognizable and that basically sums it up so i dont have to lmao <3)).

- and ep1 of bad buddy is pretty typical bl! i adore this about it tbh because i was completely unprepared for everything the show was about to pull. my initial reaction was that it was something fun to look forward to every week.

so then-

I dont!! i dont even know how to explain it! ive tried too many times!

but it really is That Bitch, and truly feels like something i’d been waiting my whole life to see. a romantic comedy that was incredibly realistic in the sense of being overwhelmingly human, and also overwhelmingly queer. it’s so effortlessly fucking funny, while simultaneously a very (very very very) layered and emotional story. i will sing its praises to the end of time. it is quite literally the most well crafted show i’ve ever seen, and every time i rewatch it, or go back and reread old meta, im reminded that im not insane believing that. it just literally is that good. it’s such a simple story done so. extremely. well. it’s so ordinary, and that makes it extraordinary, and that was the intention from the start.

but i also have to say, one of the best things about having this show, is getting to be apart of the amazing community i found here loving it alongside me. bc i avoid fandoms. i stick to the places and the people/mutuals i know. i drift through edit tags more than i follow individual blogs. i block people like lightning. i have always had anons and replies off and i enjoy my privacy!!!

and i have talked to more people and made more friends and have had more fun this past year than i ever have before on this site. 

it took me until after bb finished airing to start following people back, but by then i knew which blogs posted what and what i’d want to see more of on my dash - and there are still many many people im not following, or who arent following me, that i talk to! i love each of you so very much, and i want to do a couple special shoutouts, if thats okay. ♥️

SO, in no particular orderrrrrr:

@mrdumpling nuria you were the very first bl-centric blog to follow me, and as such gave me a little bit of a heart attack that day, because i knew you were a popular blog and i Was Not Ready For Attention lol. but im so glad you did! ik we don’t talk often, but i love lurking on your blog and following what you’re interested in, and most especially, sharing this show with you. to say your edits are beautiful is an understatement! i always love to see what you make!! 🧡

@miscellar you have some of the best takes ive ever read, and you somehow seem to read my mind and write (in much better words than i ever could!) exactly what im feeling on so many different topics. i love reading your analysis, your criticism, and just in general whatever you have to say. you impress me very much tbh and im always a bit amazed whenever you talk to me. i love sharing meta with you! 💚

@pranparakul KATIIIEEE when you’re not on my dash i miss you. even if you’ve got posts in your queue ill be like 🥺 where’s katie? is she having a good day today? literally it doesnt matter what you post abt, bc your enthusiasm for whatever it is always makes me so happy. keep doing you <3♥️🌸💗💕💜🌸❣💗💜♥️💕

@snimeat GEI. okay we dont talk OFTEN but when we do we talk a LOT. your excitement is sooooooooooooo contagious and it always matches mine and i feel SO SEEN. i think your edits have such a mystical vibe to them...they always make me feel very wistful (in a very good way). luv u 💛

@pranpats Kit!!! your gifs are GORGEOUS. and you are one of the sweetest people on this site. you always say such lovely things in the tags, and i love occasionally coming to talk to you about gifmaking things. you are such a warm presence on my dash! 💜

and of COURSE @grapejuicegay - kk i think we speedran our friendship in the last 6 weeks. idk how we never really talked before, now that i know we were BOTH lurking on each other’s blogs this whole year. i don’t even know what to say that i haven’t already said in our dms. i fucking love talking to you. there are some people you just click with and im so glad you’re one of them. 💙💌💗💖💜💙💕💛♥️🌹💌💖💙💕

there are so many more of you i want to mention here!! and if you read this far please know im probably also thinking of you, and i want you all to know that i have loved every minute watching and sharing this show with you.

im constantly blown away by everyone’s kindness and how welcoming all of you are. this is truly my favorite place to be online. thank you for all the tags on my gifs and meta. thank you for being so warm.

im so happy this little show means as much to all of you as it does to me. happy one year everybody. 🎆🥂💚❤

[grasslandgirl]

finished reading your slasher fic and let me tell u i was fighting back TEARS!!! i dont really care for horror, wasnt raised on it, but reading your fic which is so unequivocally horror has got me feeling like maybe i dont like horror movies, but horror books are where its at. like, yeah the physical grusomeness of it sticks (kristen's head being cleaved open, gorgug's face lacerated by glass) but what really got me tearing up was the grief that was occupying the narrative (the painted fingernails, the hugs, the friendship bracelets, the BRAID OMG). Like in movies you are shown the horror, in writing you must feel it, including the grief and rage of a fucked up thing happening to you transforming you into a fucked up thing. So shout out to you for making me consider and love horror lit!

oh my god anon <33 this is so lovely and kind, truly thank you 🥹💛 if I'm honest, I wasn't raised on horror either, and as I said in the author's note of slasher, I haven't really watched many horror/slasher films or literature myself (I was a scaredy cat as a child and didn't have any interest in horror media growing up, and so now as an adult it's not something i really seek out on my own, though it probably wouldn't scare me if i were to watch it now. horror films are the kind of thing where i'd probably watch them if someone recommended it and wanted to watch one with me, but wouldn't seek out on my own.) Slasher was inspired by the themes and scenes I've seen online and absorbed through other films/tv shows/etc, but i was worried when i finished and posted it, that my inexperience in the genre would be obvious to the audience, and so it truly means the world to me that I was able to capture a mood so clearly in my fic <3 i really enjoy getting to dig into specific sensory and emotional hooks in a scene, getting to describe a setting how i see it in my head, and the imagery while i was writing slasher was really clear and visceral in my head, and so I'm so glad and grateful i was able to communicate those images onto the page!!! hearing that i was able to create an emotional response in you through my writing is one of the best compliments i could ever receive, so thank you! i really hope you're able to find more things that continue this new interest you've discovered in horror as a genre, and honestly i've been considering branching out and reading some myself, so please let me know if you find any you really like!!!!

happy reading, and thank you again, a million times over, for this lovely message <33333

[you can read slasher, aka. if i only could make a deal with god (i'd get him to swap our places) here on ao3! please pay heed to the archive warnings and tags <3]

#asks #nice abt sav tag #waaahhhhhh people saying they liked slasher MEANS THE WORLD TO MEEEE #its one of my favorite things ive ever written <3333 and im so <33333 #also keep ur eyes peeled slasher heads i am GOING to finish editing follow ups i WILL post them keep me HONEST besties

[seungkwan-s]

caratblr secret santa again! (gonna give myself an emoji to make things easy so...consider me 🐻 for now, if you will)

i guess i also should ask if u have a preference for who the fic is about. i know ur a seungkwan luvr ofc but im curious if u want it to be a specific person or if u want me to just choose from your list of biases

and btw. u are reallyyyy challenging my writing skills!! i also love a little angst that turns into fluff and i love an enemies to lovers. but i am so bad at writing it 😭 at least i think i am. fluff is truly my main talent, i'd say. but for you, i shall conquer it! always ready to take on something new. but no worries, there will be a happy ending because i dont think i could handle not writing one lol

also i loved hearing about you, you sound so precious truly truly. also i love cows too!!! my grandparents own a farm and i think the most precious part is seeing all the little cow babies

i grew up watching criminal minds with my sister and ive been obsessed ever since. like i think ive seen the first 11-12 seasons at least three times all the way through. but yes i imagine its a fun show to watch with an s/o ! especially if one of you has really good reactions lol

hiii! that definitely makes it easier 💝

lengthy response !!

honestly i'm happy with anyone but my preference would be either; seungkwan, joshua, jun or jeonghan just because they're in my bias list </3 i have a HUUUUUGE soft spot for joshua (well who doesn't let's be honest....) 💜

AAAA i'm so sorry!!!!! if enemies to lovers isn't the best, i love best friends to lovers too? i wouldn't want you to feel pressured into writing something that's not your kind of style! i totally understand. as a writer myself, there are a few things i'm not the best at either 💀 so i want you to feel at ease writing something 💓

awww!!!! pls, you are so lovely!! my mum and step dad are currently in the process of basically redoing their dream house, they purchased a house but it was in a really bad state, the previous owner did not take care of it at all so they've basically stripped the house, took the inside walls and ceilings down and are doing it up their way. it's gonna look amazing when it's finished. the house—for some reason—had 23 different wasp nests (no wasps btw!! thankfully, i'd of run a mile) 💀 the previous owner also had a lot of greenhouses but he smashed all of them up and there was so much glass in the garden. it took my mum and i DAYS to carefully dispose of the broken glass (and what's annoying, is that there are still tiny fragments of glass that you come across in the garden 💀) the house is in the middle of the countryside, and oh my god.... seeing all the lambs & calves 🥰🥰🥰 SOOOO CUTE. i really want to brush the hair of a highland cow, that's one of my dreams 💘

oh it's SO good, i love it </3 whenever my s/o and i watch it, we always try say "oh he could be the unsub because" and then we give our reasons. i cried SO MUCH when emily "died" i was full on sobbing </3

i hope you're having a great weekend!

also i want to know, who your svt biases are!? 💎

my last low vibrational complaining rant

so, since getting my new job opportunity, which i'm really happy about. the opportunity to make really damn good money and launch me into whatever i want to do with my life (finally).

but i have just 15 more days until the start date, so i'm waiting these 2 more weeks.

and i'm just, it's amazing how much my parents have tried to hold me back it's truly freaking amazing. they've done the absolute *least* and made the absolute *least* amount of concessions or, compromise or, what have you like they extend me nothing, no grace, no.... what do you call it when they make arrangements for you or space for you. there's a word for that but it just slipped my mind.

anyway, lol. they've done all of that for my sister, but not for me, not ever. i've always been treated like an after thought and my therapist described it perfectly she said i am the scape goat of my dysfunctional family dynamic and its a really unhealthy position to be in.

whats crazy is i've brought all this truth to light and, they still don't care. like, no changes were made, even as they watched me suffer and be crushed under the weight of, how they treat me, they had no empathy for my pain and everything i went through, and didn't bat an eyelash at, how much it affected me, my life, and held me back from thriving and living a healthy optimal life.

they don't value my talents, or abilities, they dont' want to hear my ideas, or hear me speak. there is no room for me, in the home, physically even. no seat for me at the table, no food for me in the fridge.

if i ask for anything, i mean, the simplest of questions, or try to discuss anything i'm thinking, it's immediately met with, i'm just berrated with their, unruly control, and they use money and their own emotions to keep me in this stagnant stuck place.

it's sick, it's truly sick. and that's the dynamic of a *true* scape goat situation is, they will do everything to keep you last, to keep you held tightly in place, because beleive it or not, youre hte only thing holding the whole roose together still.

i see through it all plain as day. i can tell what's real, and what's bull shit. and i know, they live in a fantasy world in their heads, and they tell the honest truth to no one about themselves.

i used to be this way too, i learned it from my family. but i stopped, and put on a brave face and began to get to know myself, and wear who i am in bright bold colors on the outside, showing it to everyone confidently. not caring about the past words and abuse i've faced, not caring abotu the mental anguish i go through as a result of ptsd and things like that. with no, harbored resentment or, and with utmost compassion and value, and love, respect for myself in a wholesome, balanced way.

and i just can't believe it though, as i'm sitting here, on the ledge of, my launch pad to my success. i did it all on my own, as usual, with no help.

and, i thought, now that i had, some skin in the game financially, maybe they'd be willing to be more accomodating. but no, it's just, if it doesn't *suit* them, like if it's not helping *them* (in a very narcissistic way) it's not what they want for *themselves* then they dont' give A SINGLE shit and will literally shut it all down in the most abusive and controlling, manipulative, way possible. and i just let them get away with it, walking all over me, acting like a fool like i don't see it. playcating them even.

and then, they turn it around on me, if i get angry, you know like i'm just so impossible to deal with. how dare i speak my mind, about what i want, for me. for once. right? no, can't have that.

astonishing. absolutely astonishing.

in the year that i lived here, i am thin. i lost so much weight, i almost looked a little sick, and dark circles gathered under my eyes. i genuinely just, when i live here, i become weaker, under the stress, and anxiety and depression go through the roof.

so yeah, i'm just amazed honestly. i tried to speak my mind about one thing i wanted. and it was just, gaslight central. i forget that i really can't speak my mind.

they're like no, stay stuck where you are. don't move forward, dont progress. they're literally stifling me.

meanwhile, all the work goes into appeasing my spoiled sister. yes, i said it. she's spoiled. okay.

they buy her everything she wants, they threaten to take it away if she doesn't do what they want so she lives a double life like a fucking criminal. and she just looks at them like an atm and, i mean she's literally spent 20,000 dollars of their money in ONE NIGHT and not even a slap on the fucking wrist.... bro.

meanwhile, if i move a piece of furniture, my dad berates me, on a daily basis, nothing but that is what is spoken to me, the second he gets home, he is screaming at me, he threatens to beat me, and to kick me out (having me removed via police) etc. unprovoked. just, because a piece of furniture was moved and i forgot to put it back exactly the way he wanted it.

they really don't want me here, and i could give endless examples of how this is true, but i've endured it so much day in and day out i don't feel like explaining their behavior or actions or words anymore. i've seen enough of it, you[re just going to have to take my fucking word for it, i don't want to prove myself anymore. it's too much to type and my hands are tired.

just, trust me. they don't want me here. and i don't, know why.

but, i get nothing. i get absolutely nothing. and, i wasn't, expecting to get a lot, you know, but, i didn't think i would be given the shortest stick of anyone. you know.

i was given the shortest stick. that's the best way to put it. it's like, "yeah, you can do the shit thing no one else wants to do. you carry the weight for us. team work is dream work, buddy ol' pal."

and it's not like i haven't done the most for them.... i've done everything i can possibly do to appease and please them and it's just never enough, the control only gets worse, the maltreatment gets more extreme, the depravity of emotion from our relationship, the distance, the disreality, the lack of congruence or consistency, the abuse, manipulation, it stops at no point. the torture never stops, there is no point where they go, "ah yeah, maybe this is a little too much for her. maybe this is wrong." or no point where someone stands up for me, and steps in.

after my dad abuses me, my mom does nothing, she just looks the other way man. all my life. she let me have it, you know, and did nothing about it. not even a, shed a tear, no comment, not to me- not to my father. she just, let me take it all on my own and figure it out on my own, and watched me fall apart, fall into addiction, and nearly kill myself- watched me have to take medication for my mental health, from the effects of ptsd. i told her, the ptsd is from him hurting me, you know. it's a lot of things but that's a big part of it, yes. i was beaten to the point of dissociating. the way he treats me on a daily basis is wrong, i'm very vocal and straight up straight forward about it. she agrees that he is a narcissist, and his behavior is volatile, insane, abusive, extreme, etc. but she does nothing to stop it. no justice, for me.

not even an, "i'm sorry." for what i go through either.... no, acknowledgement.

its fucking insane and delusional. anyway, so, yeah the other night, after another night of him treating me like shit.

i go into my moms room, where she's sat comfortably like a prima donna, she drives her expensive car, sits in her expensive beautiful bedroom and luxury closet, watching her smart TV on the wall, she got it wall mounted. her luxury bed, that adjusts with a remote and can vibrate, in her plush pajamas, with her luxury hair done- she gets it done once a week. and all she does is scroll through her phone.

she doesn't cook, clean, she loves no one, she cares for no one, she is entitled, and everything has to be done for her, right. and if it's not making her happy, it's your fault.

and, just so self involved and self absorbed, she only wants to talk about herself. if i try to speak about anything, it always comes back around to be about her or other topics shes interested in, and doesn't care or isn't invested what so ever in my life, my interests, anything i have to say, my thoughts. she doesn't value me, she isn't, grateful fo rme, she see's nothing in me. like, everything that i am, it means zero to her. zero.

as long as i am her servant, that's all that matters. as long as i stay in my place, like a plush doll on the shelf and, don't have any needs, and look pretty- right. oh, oh- but when i have accomplishments, then you show up right. then you want to take credit. no.

i get the lead in the school play, no one came and took the front row seats reserved by the director for my family. i told him, don't bother, no one will come. he said, "you never know, they might." i tried.

i composed symphonies, starred in independent films and appeared in feature films. i won pageants, scholarships, honors, degrees, awards upon awards, art festivals, i played shows- i sang, i danced, i acted, i got jobs on my own. all she cares about is, how much money did you make.

all she talks about primarily is money, and it's depraved. she says horrible things, about people, about the world, her beliefs are so distorted. my fathers are worse.

so yeah, she sat there in her bedroom, locked away on her phone like a teenager. and, after my father berrated me and mistreated me for hours. i come into her room and i say, "do you mind turning the tv down a bit' (she had it too loud obviously loud like a damn theater in there, to drown out the sound of me being abused by my father.)

and she refused to turn it down. i was like, "i'm try to go to bed, can you just turn it down a little."

and she refused again. I was like, "seriously?" .... "seriously." and she just sat there looking stupid. playing dumb.

and i was like, seeing through the act. and i was like, ".... *shakes my head* *sigh*... wow. just wow. you really don't care do you. unbelievable." and i walked out.

and she knows what i was talking about. it wasn't abotu the tv. it was about everything that happened to me, and me as an adult now realizing, she never stood up for me, as a child, her child. she just, threw me to the wolves and didn't, care.

and then i realize thats why i'm so weird about feeling like people secretly don't care about me. it's how i've been treated my whole life- two faced. she acts like she loves me, but it's just, pretend.

but when it's time to show what real love looks like- you know. like, standing up for you, carry you when you're sick, acts of service, quality of time, valuing you, the individual that you are, and loving, that person. no, none of that. she doesn't even know me, and those things are often met with abusive tones, hostile nature, fights. until it's dimmed my light down to a dim dim, place, hidden away. silent.

and that's how she likes it. like a doll on her shelf.

she is horrible at love, she is horrible at taking care of things, and connection. and then i wonder, why it all feels so unfamiliar to me.

i refuse to be cold though, i will be warm, i will be vulnerable, i will not be hardened, like her. i will be compassionate. i will shine, outwardly, proudly who i am, and share myself with the world in my authenticity. because i'm brave enough.

no one taught me this but myself. my parents showed me weakness, cowardace, lies, manipulation, cruelty and indifference.

i'm done. i'm walking out this door and i'm never coming back. restraining order. changing my name. don't, come near me, ever, again. don't contact me. i'm done.

Dating the Obey Me! boys

So I had surgery yesterday and have to be stuck in my room not doing much for a bit so I plan to try and write lots of things and I thought why not start with Obey Me. Hope you enjoy, these are also kinda short since it was so many people! CW: Spoilers and slightly dark

Lucifer

Dating Lucifer is a bit of a struggle at the start

He's headstrong and cruel even to those he care's about so it can be hard to get into a relationship with him

Once that bond is formed however its a different story though he is still blunt and a bit harsh he's more open

He enjoys classic dates candle lit dinners walks under the moon or swaying in his office with his records on

Lucifer adores when you visit him in his office just to spend time with him while he works

Not much PDA but not fully against it will wrap an arm around your waist and might kiss your head if he's feeling really soft that day

Supportive even if he's harsh he wants the best for you in his eyes you deserver the world and then some

Mammon

Mammon is very open about his feelings

Not good with PDA gets very embarrassed but loves it all the same

Will spend money on you without really thinking about it he wants to you everything and in his eyes money is everything

He gets you involved with many schemes but also does everything in his power to not let you get hurt

If any of his siblings are having a bad day and it gets taken out on you he steps in and will swing if needed

Speaking of siblings they dont treat him that well and though he tends to put on a front you kindness to him means so much he can and will cry

Soft just wants you happy your smile makes him feel special and truly loved so he wants you to feel the same

Leviathan

This is a roller coaster that's for sure

Leviathan is a tsundere on the surface but once in a relationship he's a bit more yandere then one might think

With that Levi is very tameable quelling any jealousy of another he might have is simple just give him affection

He can not handle PDA he blushes freaks out and might even faint if people are around

Indoor dates in his aquarium room and also gaming together or watching anime

Though he's not one to enjoy the outdoors if you want to go on a public date all you need to do is ask

Parise for him is heavenly you telling him he's done well or that he makes you happy means he world to him

Satan

Getting into a relationship with Satan is a friends to lovers kinda story he need so much trust to know he can be truly honest with you

Its very give and take he wants this to have the same importance on both side

Café dates often to a cat café and if you allergic dont worry he has a spell for that

Will show off your relationship to everyone

Enjoy soft PDA i.e. hand holding an arm around the waist forehead kisses etc.

Really loves talking with you about books whether about a book you both have read or simply you listening as he goes on about one he likes, Satan also loves hearing you talks about your interest

Hell protect you with his life you're someone who let him feel more then just anger someone who loves him for himself and its all he really wanted

Asmodeus

Dating Asmodesu is not easy and there's a chance it will never be a healthy relationship

He's flirts alot and that's something you have to get use to but Asmo try's very hard to never take it to far once your together

Love PDA will always want to be all over you and hopes you feel the same

Shopping dates are a must in his eyes and of you ever feel self conscious he does his best to help

Talks about you non stop to anyone and everyone he's happy your in his life but in the end his sin makes it quite hard to ever be in a fully committed relationship

Spoils you so much, wants you to live in luxury like him after all someone as perfect as you deserves it

The genuine affection and love is something new to him its something he never thought he would have so when you entered his life he felt you could only ever make things brighter and he plans to always be there for you

Beelzebub

This is a relationship that develops without much thought

It becomes a habit for Beel to share his food with you or to seek you out just to be with you for a while

At some point its pointed out how you both act and Beelzebub confesses

Dates are common and its often food date going to new and old places he thinks you would like

Not great at planning things but if you have something you want to do or talk about he's all in

Very soft with you though its not often that hell innate PDA or anything he's always up to reciprocate it

A gentle giant who wants you safe and happy even if it means sharing his snacks

Belphegor

This is a full slow burn with his hatred of humans and his lack of trust its not an easy ride

Being with him takes a while starting as just people to friends to maybe more to lovers its a drawn out thing

No PDA he just doesn't handle it well however at the house or alone he's very affectionate

You all go on dates rarely as he's not one for going out and would rather spend quite time with you at home

One of his favorite things to do with you is laze around while you talk about your day or things you've been into lately

Will always make sure you have a good nights sleep if your someone prone to bad dreams he can help with that

Though the relationship with him starts a little rocky he treasures you more then he might admit and he happy you gave him a chance

Diavolo

Another friends to lovers and a little forbidden on top of that but you two make it work

It starts as just him being overly interested in the human world and not so slowly he starts to take interest in just you

Diavolo spoils you when he can you've given him so much and he wants to give back

Loves PDA but knows that he has to reel it in due to him tittle so he settles for just holding your hand

Is a very soft demon for you wanting to make you're as comfortable as you can be

Really enjoys when you visit him even if it just you popping in to say hi it just brightens his day

Being in a relationship wit Diavolo isn't easy it takes alot to keep up with everything but he's never been happier then with you by his side

Barbatos (I love him so much so his is slightly longer)

A slow burn and secret relationship full of its ups and downs yet its something he wouldn't trade for anything

The start of the relationship is slow and honestly it doesn't even seem like your dating he's still closed off only being polite when you two are together

It takes him far longer then you would think for him to realize how much that hurts you he hasn't been wit someone for so long if ever he's not use to it

Once you break that barrier things are smoother he's willing to be open with you alone giving you affection when you ask and even sometimes acting with out you saying anything

Barbatos thinks about you alot when he's working always wanting to know what your up to and how your feeling

Wont want to tell anyone he takes his work very seriously and doesn't want that to ever be at risk but on top of that he knows some people dont like him and if they know about you well he doesn't want to think about that

Refuses to look into your future he knows he wont be able to handle what hell see

It a relationship that takes time and sometime it seems like it might slip away but he's always there and he strives to be with you and make you happy just please give him all your love too

Simeon

A story tale romance most the time but one that almost seems impossible to keep

He's the perfect gentlemen sweet moonlight date or strolls through a garden, holding the door open or offering you his coat

With that it might seem like you never see the real him just the person/angle that he wants you to see someone perfect

Once you two have been together a few months hell start to really open up letting you see his more mischievous side and even talking about the pain from when the others fell

Simeon will always be there for you and when your down he wants to be someone you can lean on

The two of you in the in his room the soft lighting thanks to the fire with the only sounds in the room being the scribble of pen on paper and quite breathing making the night feel like endless bliss

He knows this relationship is dangerous if he's not careful he could fall but when you look at him eyes shinning with nothing but love he thinks maybe that wouldn't be so bad

Solomon

An almost tragic love story that much to his glee ends in happiness

He's met you in many lifetimes yet you were never his bit this time this wonderful time you choose him

The most romantic dates with Solomon anything you want he can probably get

Tried to cook for you it didn't go well but man he tried

Helps you study and will partake in your hobbies if you want

Is ok with PDA prefers the simple stuff over anything major

Is such a lovely relationship one he's spent so long waiting for and he's wont let it slip away now

[levworship]

cw: dom!reader, fem reader, mommy kink, degrading, dirty talk, oral (fem rec), slight mind break, reader is a lil manipulative. just a bit. probably had errors

summary: you find out while on another blind date with one of mina’s friends that kirishima is just the man for you. he wants to be used, and you’re more than willing to use him.

word count: approx 2.9k

“fuckin’ mina. i’m gonna beat her ass.”

this wasn’t the first time your best friend has tried to set you up with one of her friends. and honestly, knowing her, it more than likely wouldn’t be the last time, either. “but he’s so nice” she’d promise, or “she’s just a little shy,” and perhaps the most common line of “you just have to be a little patient with them”

patient my ass.

your damn patience was beginning to run thinner and thinner the longer you sat waiting at the table for your date to arrive. you’re used to mina’s friends not being the most punctual, but to not show up at all? it was almost insulting. here you were, taking the time out of your busy day to spare some of your sweet time with some rando and—

“hey there, beautiful.” your eyes quickly tore away from the spot you’d been staring at for the past few minutes during your internal rant. part of you wished you hadn’t, because you damn near stopped breathing. typically, you’d never allow a man the satisfaction of hindering you speechless, but fuck. the man before you stood tall and strong, the white fabric of his dress shirt clinging onto his muscles in the most delicious way possible. his hair was slicked up in a style that you could only describe as goofy, and his smile? it was so contagious that you couldn’t help but to toss away the piping hot insults you’d been preparing to shoot his way.

“sorry i’m late. was searching all over town to find these for ya. i know mina said they were your favorite, and well—“ pulling his arms from behind his back, the red-haired man handed you a comically large bouquet of flowers. were they your favorite? no, not at all. but you couldn’t help but to be flattered anyway. “had to look all over town for them. turns out they’re actually pretty hard to find around here. can you believe that?” he chuckled to himself as he scratched at the back of his neck. an unfittingly cute gesture for a man of his build.

you grin sweetly as you grab the bouquet from his large hands, setting them down on the table in front of you and batting your lashes. “these are very beautiful! thank you so much, ...um?”

mina always purposely hid the names of her friends away before setting you up, mostly in fears that you’ll end up googling them and find some not so pretty things, just as you had that time when she tried to set you up with katsuki bakugou. (you noted to yourself that day, stay away from him at all costs.)

“ah- eijirou kirishima!” he filled in for you and held a hand out for you to shake. your eyebrows shot up in realization, leaning forward a bit on the table to shake his hand. you don’t miss the way his eyes shamelessly drift down to your cleavage when you do so. the sight made you laugh.

now you saw why he seemed so familiar at first glance. you’d heard mina talk to you about him on numerous occasions. big, handsome, and dumb. that’s how you’ve always perceived him from listening to her stories and descriptions. and if there was one thing you actually enjoyed about a man, it was how simple they could be. perfect for a woman with your desires.

you open your mouth to return his introduction, but he’s already cutting you off with perhaps a little too much eagerness. “and you’re y/n? did i say that right?” he quirks an eyebrow. “uh- i may have asked mina about you already. a lot.” he flashed you a sheepish smile.

talking to him felt like being a kid in a loaded candy shop. he’d be in the palm of your hand in no time.

the rest of dinner went on moderately better than your previous experiences with these stupid dates. kirishima was a bit of a talker, but you didn’t mind listening if it meant you got to watch the way those puppy dog eyes lit up a little more every time he’d begin telling you a story from his hero work (turns out you were just really behind on the latest hero news), only to quickly become side tracked by one details of his story and trail his way to another mini rant.

finally, you figure you’ve had enough of him rambling. it was time to cut to the point. “does it get lonely?” you asked him suddenly, trying your best to hold in a smile at the way he looked at you confusedly. “i mean- not really? i’m a hero so i’m with people all of the time-“ “that’s not what i meant, red.” hearing you refer to him by his hero name sent visible chills down his spine. just the effect you were wishing to have on him. something about your change in tone knocked him from a highly energetic and charismatic sweetheart, to a blushing and stuttering mess who suddenly couldn’t sit still in his seat. and from just one question, too?

he was almost too good to be true.

“no? i-i mean, yes but... i dunno. i’m busy a lot, a-and i don’t really have time for... yaknow.” “what kind of women do you like? in bed, i mean.” you managed to knock his brain around for a second time as he fumbled around his head for an answer.

“i-i guess it depends?” “hm? what do y’mean?” the way he continued to respond to your nasty questions had you licking your lips. you wanted him. badly. in the most selfish ways possible.

“depends on what the chick is into. i mean- they usually like when i’m on top. but..” you don’t respond this time. instead you look at him expectantly and wait for him to continue his previous statement. something about seeing such a grown man grow so embarrassed that quickly does something to you.

“i guess i wouldn’t mind... having someone take control for once?”

everything from that point felt like a blurred flash. you quickly abandoned the bouquet and called for the bill (which he so generously covered for the two of you) and were stumbling out of the door in no time, speedily walking all the way to your humble apartment. the door had just swung open when you were already shoving him inside.

kirishima spent nearly the entirety of the walk psyching himself up for this. did you know he wanted to experiment with this? had mina told you? how would mina even know? did he even really want this? because by the way he was struggling to catch his breath and connect dots in his mind, maybe he’d gotten too far ahead of himself.

but it was too late for that now. you’d already shoved him all the way down the hall, into your bedroom, and onto your bed before he knew it. you were fierce and impatient. and honestly? he found it quite intriguing.

“red...” you drew him back from falling into his thoughts once again, dragging your knuckles across the rough skin of his cheek. “i said, are you sure you want this?” and he swears he’s never nodded faster in his life, already grabbing onto your waist and hoisting you onto his lap. “yes! yes, i’m sure. please y/n?” and with that, a thread in you snapped.

you pushed him roughly until his head rested comfortably against the pillows, muttering a quick ‘stay’ as you began to fumble with his belt. you’d barely even touched him, yet he still lied staring at you with those same big adoring eyes. he was just too cute for his own good.

it made you want to wreck him.

you practically ripped away his pants and boxers before gently palming at his cock. you had expected him to be big, but not this big. he was long and thick, your hand barely managing to wrap completely around it. wordlessly you crouched down and pressed a gentle peck to his swollen tip, the precum that’d gathered there now sticking deliciously to your lips.

kirishima was getting so restless above you that you could’ve mistaken him for a virgin, hands fisting at your sheets with countless pleas tumbling from his lips. “so impatient, cutie. dont you want to be taken care of?” “i do! i do!” it seemed as if he was completely unashamed of how desperate he must’ve looked right now.

but rather than provide the sweet sweet release you knew he was craving, you tsked and backed away from his cock. much to his disappointment. “you know something, red? i didn’t take you for the selfish type. want me to make you feel good when you haven’t even touched me yet? and i thought you were a gentleman...”

kirishima thrashed below you, fingers digging hard into your hips. “i’m a gentleman! i’ll be a gentleman! i promise!” his lip wobbled cutely. you almost felt bad for having to deny such a pretty face.

almost.

he observed closely as you leaned back on your knees, sliding down the straps of your dress and tugging until your lacy bra was revealed to him. you were going to be the fucking death of him. you couldn’t help but giggle a bit at the way he eyed your chest. “i’ll tell you what.” you said as you reached out and pressed a finger under his chin, forcing him to meet your intense eyes.

“be a good boy for me and maybe, maybe, i’ll let you touch. deal?” and kirishima nodded giddily. truly an obedient little thing, he was.

you gave him a large smile that didn’t quite reach your eyes before patting him on the cheek, moving up to straddle his face and... shit. you weren’t wearing any panties under your dress. the smell of your arousal right in front of his face nearly made him overload, wanting nothing more but to bury his face between your legs until you’re heaving and begging for a break. but he had to be good for you. wanted you to rake your fingers through his hair and call him your good boy while he plays with your pretty tits.

“well? dont you want a tas—” you gasp when his mouth is suddenly on you, every sense of restraint abandoned as his tongue slid across and pressed against your poor clit. it was messy, no real technique behind his frantic movements, but he still had your eyes crossing and your thighs squeezing the sides of his head as ear muffs, his fingers squeezing and prodding at the flesh to keep himself grounded.

the sounds that came from your cunt and his mouth were embarrassingly lewd, the sound of his slurping making your entire body go hot. you were so close to losing your composure and letting him have you the way he wants, but you couldn’t pass up an opportunity like this. not when you’ve been craving this for this long.

“kiri..” you couldnt tell if you were whispering or yelling at this point, brain all scrambled from the amount of pleasure you were receiving. you nearly doubled over from the vibrations of the small ‘hmm’ of acknowledgment he gave you. your fingers tangle themselves in his stiff red locks, holding his face still to allow you to grind yourself on his mouth just the way you wanted.

your breath hitched in your throat each time his nose bumped against your clit, his tongue buried deep in your hole as he was desperate to taste all of your juices. you could already feel your orgasm creeping up on you..

“oh, shit! just like that. good- fuck! such a good boy” the praise sends him into a frenzy, now using the pad of his thumb to rub viciously at your clit as his tongue fucked into you so nicely.

“‘m cumming, cumming, oh my god!” you’re hunched over now, eyes screwed shut when your orgasm suddenly rips through you. kirishima’s tongue continued its assault on your spasming pussy, the overstimulation becoming almost unbearable. you tried everything to get him off of you to make it stop. tugging his hair, lifting yourself up- but nothing seemed to be able to separate him from you until you literally shouted his name.

he released you in an instant and allowed you to back away to fully take in his form. everything about the sight was downright sinful. your juices covered the entire lower half of his face, and his hair remained matted with sweat against his forehead. and most delicious of all? he still looked hungry. you nearly said ‘fuck it’ and climbed back on top of him again...

but he needed to be punished.

and it seemed that he knew this too, because the moment your eyes met he was already begging for mercy. “‘m sorry! p-“ “i thought you promised you’d be a good boy? yaknow, i’m not exactly a big fan of liars, red. how could i let you have me when you can’t even follow simple instructions?” he’s silent at this point, eyes glued to the ground with an unreadable emotion splayed across his face.

you huffed as you climbed off of the bed, standing on wobbly legs with your back turned to him. you shook your head as you quickly slid your dress back into place. you originally planned on leaving it at this and sending him home, and perhaps you’d consider giving him a second shot if he begged you pretty enough. but kiri had other plans.

he wasn’t quite sure what came over him, but when he realized that you were planning on leaving him like that he couldn’t help but to jump up, gripping onto your waist once again. “kiri! what are you doing?” “please.” he whimpered into your ear, hard chest pressing into your back and his painfully hard cock rutting against your ass.

you probably would’ve collapsed right there if it weren’t for his tight grasp. “please don’t leave! ‘m so hard for you. want you so fucking bad. i’ll do anything, just- please let me cum. mommy.” the word rolled off of his tongue so sweetly, so heavenly, you couldn’t stop yourself from shoving him back onto the bed and tearing off his shirt.

you licked your lips when he was left completely bare to you finally, hand already working at pumping his cock. “suck a dirty boy. men like you are scum, you know that? getting so upset that you didn’t get your way after being so disobedient? i should tie you up and edge you for the rest of the night just for that” he began to mindlessly shake his head, muttering quiet a ‘no, no..’

“however,” you began to drag your fingernail across his chest, playing with the hairs that rested there, “think i’m gonna let it slide this time. well, only if you thank me properly..”

“thank you mommy!” the way there wasn’t even an ounce of hesitation or shame in his voice had you clenching around nothing. denying him any longer was beginning to be just as much torture to yourself as it was to him. biting down on your lip, you grabbed his cock and started pressing the tip to your entrance.

you began to feel as though you’ve managed to completely break him, watching as he continued to sputter out ‘thank you’s even as you struggled to take his cock in your dripping cunt. the stretch was nearly unbearable at first, but you were never one to back down from a challenge.

you weren’t going to stop until you knew you’ve completely broken him down into a blubbering mess for you. until you were the only thing he could think of. until you had him quivering and begging just for you. the thought of making him into your slave had you bouncing on his dick with energetic vigor.

kirishima was a sight to behold, too. eyes crossed and occasionally fluttering shut, panting like a dog as every bit of his stamina oozed out of him and he had to hold himself back from cumming too quickly.

at one point you caught his eyes glued on to the way your covered tits bounced while you rode him, still clad in your tight dress. you smirked devilishly before reaching behind your back and unclasping your bra, tugging it down with the dress once again and toying with your puffy nipples for his viewing pleasure.

that seemed to be the final straw for kiri, as he was now bucking up into you like a horny mutt. “gonna cum so hard, mommy. please let me cum in you. g’nna fill you up so good. wanna make you a mommy. i want it- i want it- i want it...” with all of his babbling you weren’t quite sure if he was aware of what he was saying right now, but the lewd words still had you spiraling closer and closer.

“cum in me, baby. be a good boy for mommy and give her your babies, okay?” you told him as you gripped his face in your hands.

and like the obedient little thing he is,, he did exactly that.

thirsts and requests for haikyuu and bnha are open.

MASTERLIST • AO3

"Dread it, run from it. Destiny arrives all the same." A wrinkled hand reaches for your chin, running prune colored fingers along your jawline, doting; mockingly.

Your heartbeat pulses loudly in your ears, eyes glazing over with exhaustion and pain as you attempt to glare, the notion in vain as the titan merely chuckled amusedly.

"I can see great power in you, little one. An infinity stone pulses beneath your every vein. Tell me, where is the tesseract?"

You remain silent.

"We don't have the tesseract, it was destroyed along with all of Asgard." Thor interjects weakly from where he lies, his body held tightly in the arms of the black order.

Guilt sweeps across your being as you make eye contact with Loki, sharing a single nod as you both know what you must do.

Thanos grows annoyed with your unwillingness to comply as he walks over with loud steps, his footprints visible as he raises his gauntlet up, the power stone shining threateningly close to Thor.

"The tesseract, or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference." It's not a question. Merely a statement, one that Loki knows he must prove unbothered.

"Oh, I do. Kill away." To anyone else it would seem he couldn't care less about his brother's demise, but you know your love better than he does himself and you catch the glance of fear that washes over cerulean eyes.

You can only watch in trepidation as the stone makes contact with the God's head. Agonized cries escaping as his skin is burned by the mere power of the stone.

Loki does his best to look unaffected, but you catch the hitch in his breath as he batters inner turmoil. the universe, or his brother.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Loki turns his palm up, as a familiar blue cube materializes in his hand. The eerie blue glow casting a shadow upon his face.

Thanos steps away, smug. You force yourself to look away from Thor's accusing gaze.

"You truly are the worst, brother." Thor shakes his head, eyes disappointed but not surprised.

As Thanos moves to take the stone from his hand cerulean blue eyes make contact with your own and you feel a wave of fear wash over you as you recognize the look in Loki's eyes.

"I assure you, brother. The sun will shine on us again." He does not move his gaze from your own and you can't help but feel this is an unspoken goodbye.

"Your optimism is misplaced, asgardian."

"Well, for one thing, I'm not asgardian. For another, we have a hulk."

In a blur of color you are shoved from where you lie, a slithe figure covering your own as you breathe in the familiar scent of cinnamon and leather.

"We don't have much time, my love. I just want you to know that I love you dearly, and I am grateful for the time I had with you. May I see you again, in Valhalla." His eyes are teary and you barely process his words, as his hands grab hold of your face and pull you into a kiss.

The kiss is desperate, filled with love and grief and you can only briefly kiss your love back as he steps closer to Thanos, rambling on about undying fidelity.

You catch a glimpse of silver behind his back and you gasp as realization sets in.

You move to reach him just as he leaps for Thanos, the knife poised for his head, frozen in mid air as the stones across his knuckles pulse.

"Undying fidelity, you should choose your words more wisely."

You cry out as Loki struggles in his grip, his skin fading blue. You crawl forward, legs aching as you reach for him, your progress hinged by your inability to walk.

"You will never be a god." The rasped words are followed by a snap as his neck gives out beneath Thanos' hands.

A tortured scream rings out and it takes you a second to realize it's your own. A broken sob leaves you as you crawl forward to reach where Thanos has carelessly thrown the body of your love.

You heave as your shaky fingers caress his face, his lifeless eyes staring ahead as you clutch him to your chest.

You rock back and forth knotting your fingers in his hair as you plead for the nightmare to end.

"No resurrections this time."

A portal opens and closes behind you, yet you make no motion to move.

You simply close your eyes and welcome the sweet release of death as the universe explodes around you.

N E W Y O R K 2 0 1 2

"'Coordinates for search and rescue, on my way now.' I mean honestly, how-" Loki is promptly shut up by the mouth guard that decorates his face, courtesy of his brother.

Displeasure makes an appearance as Loki is led to the elevator followed by the avengers that quickly file in. The only source of entertainment being the temper tantrum the green beast throws as he is denied entry. Loki can hardly contain his glee as he waves mockingly as the doors close.

As he is led to the ground floor his cuffed hands clinking annoyingly with every step he glances wearily around himself, dreading the lecture that is sure to come once he reaches asgard. He has no doubt in his mind that Odin will find perfect reason to throw him to the wolves, lest his mother get involved.

As he contemplates, his attention is caught by the sound of his brother calling for help, the guards holding him, attending to what he perceives to be a heart attack, to none other than the man of metal.

He watches, confused as a small stature kicks the case holding the tesseract away from view as the others tend to Stark.

Looking around bemused he watches to see what will conspire next. Before any other move can be made a shout is heard as the doors to the staircase along with the wall is torn apart, the hulk making his distaste for the tedious activity known.

For once since meeting the beast he feels thankful, as the case holding the tesseract is knocked open, the familiar cube sliding towards his foot.

A beat passes and grabbing a hold of the familiar cube he glances around, vanishing in a thin cloud of blue.

T V A U N K N O W N

Hurried footsteps echo down the corridor as the man moves with barely contained excitement. Tie swinging to and fro, a slightly wrinkled hand pulls at the collar of his neck nervously.

Mobius had seen many variants in his time at the TVA. Yet, none had ever come close to interesting as the file he currently held in one hand. Variant L1130 or Loki, as he was called, was perhaps one of the most complicated cases he had come across.

Born as a legend of mythology it was quite unbelievable to know that not only was he real, but he happened to be in their custody for creating a new branch in the timeline. Mobius could only hope Renslayer would agree to allowing him to be the God's superior.

Entering the courtroom, Mobius sits down and watches with rapt attention as Loki attempts to bargain with Ravonna. His plans are foiled as he tries to call upon his magic in a last effort to escape.

Mobius feels it's time to intervene when Renslayer makes it clear he is to be executed.

"You have no idea what I am capable of!"

"Actually I might have an idea of what he is capable of." He offers as he makes his way up to the stand.

His plea must be written across his face as Ravonna leans over to look at him directly.

"Whatever you're planning, it's a bad idea." She warns.

Nonetheless she reluctantly lets him go and Mobius has to fight off the urge to fist pump the air as he escorts Loki down the hallway.

"Oh, I'm Agent Mobius by the way." He offers a hand that is quickly ignored.

He can practically see the distrust written on Loki's face, his eyes calculating every move he makes.

Mobius is hardly surprised that as soon as he enters the room, his back turned to the God as he adjusts his projector, Loki is surging forward to attack. He doesn't even bat an eyelash as he clicks a button on his remote, resetting the God as if the action never even happened.

"C'mon, let's take a look at some of your greatest hits." Mobius waves a hand, as Loki curiously sits down, eyes trained on the projector.

He finds himself staring back at a hologram of his attack on New York. His blue eyes darting back and forth with glee as chaos erupts around him.

A feeling of something akin to shame runs down his spine as he recalls his reign of terror on the city, an illusion of preying on the weak to hide his own fear, lest he fail and succumb to Thanos and his minions.

Loki clenches his jaw, arms crossing over his form in an attempt to hide himself as he turns to avoid the screen.

"I see no point in this-"

"No, no wait, this is just getting good." Mobius grins as he points to the screen and Loki finds himself once again face to face with another variation of himself.

He briefly recalls the time he had lost a bet to Thor and had to change his form into that of a ginger haired man wearing a clean three piece suit, claiming he had a bomb and required over two hundred thousand in midgardian money just to see if he could pull it off. He did, in fact, pull it off, but his mother was not happy as well as the midgardians who failed to solve the case, naming him D.B. Cooper as they had no clue as to his real identity.

His attention is pulled to the screen as a familiar voice of silk enters the scene and he watches as his mother speaks to his future self, his eyes drawn into her face.

"Then am I not your mother?" He hears her ask. Yes, you are.

"No. You are not." Loki's eyes start to mist as he watches the look of hurt pass over his mother's features before she schools her expression into one of contempt.

"Always so perceptive, about everyone but yourself." She decides.

The screen flickers and he sees himself talking to an intruder, his voice amused as he suggests the monster to take the stairs to the left.

Then, his mother, Frigga, lying on the cold ground, a puddle of red growing rapidly beneath her body as her eyes remained closed.

His breath hitches, anger now licking up his spine. He turns sharply to Mobius who smartly remains silent.

"What is this! Some cruel joke? Where is she?! Where do you have her?"

Mobius steps forward, expression neutral as he speaks.

"She's dead Loki. This is the future, it's destined to happen, again and again because that's how it should be."

Loki falters his eyes narrowing as he spits "You're lying! I'll kill you!"

"What? Like you killed your mother."

There's a split second of silence before an angered shout is heard, a chair splitting the air as it crashes into pieces along the floor.

Before anything else can be said Mobius is summoned by Hunter B-15, his eyes falling to Loki who remains silent and he leaves with a slight tinge of guilt burrowing in his chest at the haunted look in the God's eyes.

"You think yourself so sly don't you." Loki looks up at the unfamiliar voice as the projector suddenly comes to life, a new image flicking gently on screen. His eyes catch upon your form and he watches in awe and wonder as you sit beside his future self.

"I don't think, love. I know." He grins leaning in to steal a kiss from you that leaves you both breathless.

He watches as your eyes are filled with nothing but love and adoration for him as you lean into his side.

"Loki?"

"Yes, darling?"

"Do you believe in soulmates?"

Loki tilts his head in contemplation as he looks to you, before a soft grin pulls at his lips.

"I didn't until I met you. I know that no matter who or what tries to tear us apart, we will always find a way back to each other."

A smile breaks out onto your face and Loki watches in stunned silence as the clip ends with the two of your voices fading into laughter.

"You two are meant to be together."

Loki turns as Mobius slowly comes to a stop behind him, his expression thoughtful.

"I don't enjoy hurting people you know." He responds, motioning towards the screen in reference to his attack on New York and the death of his mother.

Mobius doesn't respond, and he takes that as a sign to continue.

"I do it because I have to. Because I've had to." He looks down as he fiddles with his fingers.

Mobius hums as he replies.

"Why? Why do you think that is?"

"It's part of the illusion. It's the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear."

Realization lights up in Mobius' eyes as he answers back.

"A desperate play for control. You do know yourself."

"A villain." Loki sums up.

"Not the way I see it."

There's a mutual silence between them before Mobius sighs.

"Look I can't offer you salvation but I can offer you something better. A fugitive variant has been killing our minutemen."

"And let me guess, you need the God of Mischief to help you stop him."

"That's right."

"How could I possibly be of use to you?"

"That's the thing. The variant we are hunting, we believe is y/n." Mobius looks towards the projector where your image is still.

"I beg your pardon?"

U N K N O W N

Mutilated bodies line the floor as a hooded figure steps over them, eyes glowing an unnatural hue.

"Is it finished?"

"Yes."

A wicked laugh fills the empty space as a portal opens in the deserted land, a set of footsteps following through.

"I'm coming for you, my love."

Habe you seen any of P'Aofs other works? I'm still quite new to BL so I wonder if he's just that good or if Ohm and Nanon make most of the greatness of Bad Buddy? I mean obviously they play a big part but with a shitty script even fantastic actors couldn't do much. 😳

hello dear anon!!

and yes, i've seen a lot of p'aofs works. from what i remember, his most notable series have been he's coming to me, dark blue kiss, still 2gether and atots. and they have all been very good in my opinion. i wasn't much of a fan of 2gether, but i dont know what p'aof did when he picked up those follow up eps but to me they were a big improvement, so he must have some kind of magic up his sleeve.

and as for all the others, i couldn't recommend them enough. to me, dark blue kiss is one of the best handlings of an established relationship in a BL ive ever seen. it might be a tad overdramatic and have its own shortcomings, and yes it is centred around jealousy which isnt always my fave, but i do honestly understand where both the characters are coming from. there are reasons for both of their actions and how they behave and i really appreciate that. plus tay and new do have great chemistry and i like their dynamic, but thats just bc i love when they bicker like an old married couple. and lets not forget mork and sun who literally invented side couple syndrome. i think they stole everyone's hearts, their storyline and dynamic was just so good and i so wanted to see more of them.

atots is atots. i feel like its already legendary even tho it only aired last year. such a refreshing storyline and setting. both characters felt so fleshed out and whole as people. and i love that, besides the romance which was amazing, you got to see how both characters went on journeys as individual people. i cry at a lot of things and there's a lot of things to cry at in atots, but what got to me the most was the scene where tian has to leave the village. let me tell you, if you love the found family trope and want to see a young man find true fulfilment and happiness in his life, watch this show.

and last but definitely DEFINATELY not least, he's coming to me. this show THIS SHOW. if the rest of my reply is trying to convey to you that p'aof really is just that good, this is where i say that if you pair p'aof with seasoned, talented actors as we did with bad buddy, you get a masterpiece. bc p'aof, working with singto and ohm in this show must've been a match made in heaven bc this show is amazing. for such an out there and kinda ridiculous concept, it somehow delivers. nothing about it feels like a joke. they took a story about falling in love with a ghost and made me actually care. not once while watching was i thinking in my head 'this is stupid and pointless bc this would never happen' bc i was too invested in the journeys these characters were having, of learning to move on and learning to be and accept yourself. and yes singto was amazing, but for me ohm stole the show. watching this series was what made me watch bad buddy, bc i just needed to see more of ohm acting. his portrayal in the series is legit faultless to me. at such a young age as well he gave me everything. the innocence and pure joy of someone so young and naive to the world, the sheer amount of empathy and care he had for mes, gosh i dont even know what else to say without crying he just carried this show. and i can see why it created such a strong bond between him and p'aof.

but bad buddy really and truly knocked it out of the park. and from what i can see, that is ohm and nanon. bc p'aof has brought magic to everything he's done but this is another level. bc to me, p'aof is great at everything he does and can do, scripting and directing and helping actors with characters etc, but where these other series dont compare to bad buddy is in the chemistry. ohm and nanon have the ability to act so naturally together and thats not something p'aof can create himself. sure, he can help a lot, but that chemistry comes from their close bond, their understanding of themselves and each other and their talent and passion as actors. its just a dream team the three of them. and i so hope that gmmtv will let p'aof run wild with experienced and talented actors again so we keep getting more masterpieces like bad buddy. bc there's no hiding now, we know they can do it, we know they have all they need, so just be brave gmmtv. let p'aof work his magic.

#bad buddy #aof noppharnach #sos for the rant but i could go on more believe me #i could write for days about these shows esp hes coming to me #and i could go on and on about the genius of p'aof #bc he really cares about what hes making #he doesnt see bl as a cash grab or pandering to an audience #he knows that just like everyone else we want a good story and good characters and good cinematography and theming and sets and sound #but we just want it to be gay too #and as a gay man i think he sees the opportunity that bl gives #to deliver good queer media #and for that i love him #made by jemmo

So I've explained some of the things I disliked about the gossip girl reboot. Now I'm going to give the reasons I still watch. Note there will be less because its harder to think of good things but I will continue to watch.

The first thing that came to mind was actually some of the friendships. The first one I thought of was actually max and luna. They don't have many scenes together but the ones they do have show a really cute friendship. They're willing to help each other with few questions asked, they know each others secrets and worries, and they tell each other their problems not even necessarily for advice just to tell someone and get it out in the open and if that isn't true friendship idk what is.

Another friendship I loved is luna and monets. I dont think I really have to explain this. I hope they take over the school together bc honestly JC kind of annoys me bc she flip flops between being the nice to being queen bee from episode to episode.

Finally I really liked JC and Audrey's friendship. I like that audrey is the one person who isn't trying to get JC to change in some way. She just wants her to do what makes her happy and care less about and image that, it could be argued, makes her miserable. They go to each other for advice or with problems and honestly audrey seems like one of the only people that likes JC for who she is and only really wants her to be happy. They may have their arguments but they quickly sort these arguments out and make up.

Also, while I don't really care for Zoya and JC as friends or enemies, and the drama between them annoys me, i liked the last episode of the first season when Zoya pointed out they didn't necessarily have to be friends to be sisters, they don't have to hang out with the same group. At the end of the day they're 2 very different people who aren't friends. They aren't serena and Blair and I hope we get to see more of Zoyas new friend bc 2 episodes wasn't enough to form an opinion.

OK now characters I like. The only characters I truly dislike are the teachers, who should all face some sort of legal trouble, and obie who I just find boring, bland and kind of annoying. However that does mean I like the other characters. I'm not going to repeat reasons and I may not mention all other characters because I may not dislike them but their storyline may annoy me.

Note: I won't comment on the sexual assault storyline until we see the end result as I feel its still ongoing and could go either way.

OK so first, max, audrey and akeno. Why do I like these characters. A: the friendships they have with others, b: their storylines in general, bit the main reason is the polyamory storyline. I'm not going to talk about representation because I'm straight and don't know much about polyamarous relationships so I don't know how accurate this teen drama show is and I'm sure some aspects may be problematic without me realising. In other words, it would be wrong of me to discuss these things so I won't. What I will say is I'm hlad we got an answer at the end and, considering I wanted this from episode 1 I was very happy with the end result. Now I know that the chances of them breaking up is high, but even if they do break up, I hope they'll ultimately be endgame. Like, they can date other people and explore other ships, I wouldn't hate that but I want the show to end with the three of them dating. Also I like that max, despite liking both of them, still stuck by his boundaries and didn't just accept any type of poly relationship with them, that he wanted to feel like an equal instead of an extra, so overall, interesting storyline, explored multiple actions, satisfying ending that could be changed at any second, it's great. If they screw these 3 up I'll be so sad. Even if they're not dating I at least want them to be friends, honestly this is my favourite thing about thos reboot and if they screw it up and I don't mean a little, I mean making them toxic, like chuck and Blair levels toxic or even just unhealthy, that would truly break my heart. Honestly I just want them to be happy and at least friends by the end. I understand max will be learning about romantic relationships and there will be ups and downs, I'm fine with that as long as its happy. It's rare for me to find ships and romantic storyline I'm actually invested in. Most of the time it's less of a case of shipping it and more of a case of not being against it but not caring either way but I've been emotionally invested in this since day one.

Now let's discuss monet. Honestly I love her. This is probably the closest we get to a character that would be in the original gossip girl and honestly, I hope she does become queen bee and also finds out the teachers are gossip girl and gets them all fired and arrested, especially of she finds out the reason they started it. Honestly I just love how honest she is about who she is. She doesn't hide that she's manipulative and mean. Honestly queen bee monet. On a similar note, I love luna too. I wasn't too sure early on but she grew on me and I loved the last episode, the fact that she has someone to love even if it's long distance and how happy but conflicted she was. Plus we got some scenes with luna and max. Also luna is more loyal than monet bc monet sees JC more as a job whereas for luna she gets to help put her friend. I want these 2 to have a happy ending.

Zoya and JC I have a love hate relationship with and whether or not I like them chnges depending on the episode.

Also this isn't something I like but it is something I thought was entertaining, I loved that Rafa called them out about gossip girl. It was funny because he was sleeping with a student (Yes, yes, max pursued him but he's still the grown adult. However, I will ignore this if Max is 18 and legal age simply bc the show clearly doesn't care so neither will I.) It's not often someone can sleep with a student and lecture someone else on morals but Rafa surely gave it a good go and I found that entertaining. Also he said it to Kate, someone I hate, so it also made me happy. I'm honestly just glad anyone called her out on it.

Also, conflicting opinion, I both ship Kate and zoyas dad and don't ship them. If you're wondering how that works allow me to explain. In any other show I would definitely ship these two characters because they have some cute scenes and moments. Also I like Zoya's dad and want him to be happy. However I also find Kate annoying and she's gossip girl so, while I want him to be happy, I also want Kate to be unhappy. Here's what I propose, let Kate and zoyas dad date for a couple of episodes to satisfy the miniscule part of me that ships them, then have Zoyas dad find out Kate and Jordan are gossip girl and, since he's a lawyer, get them locked up or in as much legal trouble as he can, especially with the whole taking a photo of zoya changing and posting it online thing.

I can't think of anything else right now but I'll probably add to this as time goes on. Overall it has potential. I hope they'll give obie more personality and that the teachers won't be gossip girl much longer. If monet or JC or one of the students take over gossip girl that would be great, but just don't tell us which one straight away. That would be great. In other words I'll probably watch the planned season 2 and then review where we stand. One thing it's great at is being a guilty pleasure show. Because it's kind of terrible but I somehow love it as I'm watching it but end up getting annoyed with it after it's over. I'd never admit to watching this show.

I saw the second preview of six and here are my thoughts (along with a few fun stories at the end):

My heart literally fell out of my ass when the queens started walking out They changed a few small little things here and there and it was perfect If six doesn’t win best lighting at the Tony’s I will sue Ex-wives was WOW I literally could not stop smiling Some of the poses were different 

ADRIANNA FREAKING NAILED NO WAY

I am convinced she just is beyonce always

She’s just fantastic in that role and that’s what I have to say about that

Ig abby danced a little too hard during no way because she kept messing with her wig after

Actually she lowkey played with it throughout the whole show and it was adorbs

Britt was helping her fix it and like pointing out where it was a little cray (also abby’s wig looks so good omf)

ANDREA IS- WOAH DURING DLYH

Her delivery throughout the whole show was a bit more mature, but it was still so babey I love her

(On a side note someone today told me I look like Andrea, which is very kind but so untrue because I literally look like a broken thumb and she is gorgeous)

Her “IM NOT SORRY” was amAZING

She like low-key cut made the whole head joke short and im kinda sad ab it, but it was still fantastique

Through the “Wearing Yellow To A Funeral Bit” abby looked confused through the entire thing and I was cracking up

HEART OF STONE HOLY SHIT

She was INCREDIBLE and her dress was so pretty and sparkly and I just wow 

Shes just so pretty in general like ma’am how do you do that please drop the skin care routine 

The emotion that was conveyed was enough to make me tear up BUT I DID NOT CRY AND I AM VERY PROUD OF THAT 

she did the “you lift me high” line and kinda went into this airy place in her voice and it was angelic and heavenly and all the good things

HER RIFFS WERE JUST DFJDHJLFH

She was just fantastic and thats all I have to say 

Thats a lie I have so many things to say about that woman but the time will come

HOH was a whole acid trip there was a point during this song where I literally just took it all in and then thought “Janey, you really spent your hard earned money to go on an acid trip for a solid few minutes good job”

Their dancing is hilarious and thats that

ABBY SAYING “BUT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU’LL STILL WALK AT FORTY” I had to stifle a laugh because my queen is indeed 40

THE GERMAN ACCENTS HAD ME QUAKING

Brittney Mack is… all bad bitch energy and I was living for it

She is a queen

When she did the “my horses can trot up to twelve miles an hour”- in the boot (not that I watch those…) abby is always making a 😳😶😲 kind of face and this time she just couldn’t stop smiling and it made me laugh

WOOF

Her reveal was SO GOOD she literally just started checking out her nails while everyone just applauded… AS THEY SHOULD

When britt told the person to get up, this person full on WENT and britt was like shook it was hysterical

THE INTERLUDE BETWEEN GET DOWN AND THEN KAT’S ROAST WAS ICONIQUE

i dont think it was here but I cant remember where it was but BRITT WAS PLAYING WITH ABBY’S WIG AND IT WAS REALLY CUTE SHE WAS LIKE PLAYING WITH THE ENDS OF IT AND AWH

justice for the beheaded cousins 

BOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO BABY MARY HAD THE CHICKEN POX AND YOU DIDN’T GET TO HOLD HER HAND… YOU KNOW ITS FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN I WANTED TO HOLD MY NEWBORN SON…. IIIIII DIIIIIIEDD. Abby lowkey went feral and I loved every second of it and then her pose after got so many laughs it was truly amazing

THE K HOWARD ROAST WAS JUST SO GOOD IT WAS SO GOOD

Aywd destroyed me

I also teared up here but I did not let those babies fall because I was not about to ruin my look

justice for my pink queen

Her delivery is insane and honestly its gotten better and I didn’t even know that was possible because WOW SHE WAS ALREADY STUNNING BUT DAMN MY HEART GOT RIPPED OUT OF MY CHEST

The whole “Catherine not singing” bit was fantastic

Abby looked so confused the entire time 

Andrea’s “hahaha what” was perfecto 

when Anna said “should we really be doing this” someone in the audience went “yes” very loudly and made the queens break for a solid second abby almost forgot to say her line and you could barely hear it because the audience was laughing at the rando 

Anna acknowledged it and just went “I know” before turning to the queens and saying “I know” it was hysterical 

“I’m Catherine parr, I draw the line in arbitrary places bLaH bLaH bLaH”

THE CLAPPING- BRITT GOT IN HER FACE AND JUST *CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.”  It was the funniest thing oh my gosh

“Are you sure Catherine? I-we don’t mind if you wanna sit this one out… I mean you must be exhausted from all those backing vocals”

IDNYL WAS INSANE AND ANNA UZELE IS WICKED TALENTED LIKE DANG

I dont know if this was intentional or not but when they all start to understand the purpose of parr’s thing- abby is the last to stand up and in my head im like “no yeah that makes sense because shes “the one he truly loved” and shes still trying to get to a point where shes realizing he wasn’t all that great and I dont know I just really like that minor detail

The whole “remember that I was a writer…” part got loud cheers, especially from abby it was very cute

She did a new riff on the “we all disappear” line and WOW my eyes went so wide it was so good I was genuinely shook

the “i dont get it” was sooo good

“My sixth finger” was said so casually and so determinedly that it was a whole new joke and I loved it

“Everyone notices Jane cant dance” -abby just looking so sad

“Yeeeaaaahhhhh. I read!” Was so cute and she sounded so proud of herself it was adorbs

The way they just stood there awkwardly was amazing and got so many laughs it was so good

When sam said the line about competing, abby really almost cut Anna’s line out but she caught herself and it was funny I dont know if anyone else noticed it, but I did and it was glorious

REMIX

“Rise abo-o-o-o-ove” WAS BEAUTIFUL THEY WERE IN SUCH GOOD HARMONY

AGAIN, ANNA’S RIFFS HOW DOES THAT WOMAN DO THAT AT THE END OF THE SHOW LIKE SHIT

After it was over, of course it got long applause and the entire time abby was doing her like “sparkle hands” but also awkwardly moving her arm kinda like a noodle and then going back to sparkle hands and it gave me a good chuckle

Six

The slow acoustic part was so soft I died

The harmonies was delicious

The audience was so hype

Megasix

Super hype

Amazing

Fantastic

All the good things ever

Basically it was just adorable and amazing and absolutely stunning

The new costumes are gorgeous and the lighting is wild if they don’t win best lighting for Tony awards I will full on riot

Aragon and Boleyn interacted a lot and so did Seymour and Cleves and it was very very sweet

Abby interacted with the band a lot to the point where she almost missed a cue and it was very endearing

AND THEN THEY DID THE CURTAIN UP THING AND FIRST OF ALL WOW THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE AND IT WAS SO SWEET SEEING THE WAY THEY ALL WATCHED EACH OTHER WHILE THEY WERE SINGING AND I JUST JDKFDJLA

abby’s hair is SO LONG but I am here for it

So I was looking for my friend when I hear “Make some room, make a path!” From a security guard, and the queens legit walked RIGHT PAST ME

I wanted to go to the theatre anyway to take pictures, but when I saw them, I did follow them back to the theatre because wow I wanted to bask in their glory I didnt even want to talk to them I just wanted to be in their presence

So im like, walking behind them when this happens:

I guess abby saw someone she knew because I heard this “abby!” And then she was like “OH MY GOD” and like RAN to hug them and i legit almost walked right into her/got stepped on but i freaking stopped like a noob i should’ve just let her run me over but I did not I just stopped in my tracks and let out a soft “aH” and then went around her

And then I got to meet a friend and apparently toby heard us squealing and watched us hug for a solid however long so that was awkward

And Julia schade was like talking to him and stared at us for a good amount of time

And then I was walking away and passed Julia again and she kept looking at me, but she was talking to someone else and I think she thought I was going to stay to talk to her (and I would have loved to) but I didnt I just gave her a smile, a nod, and a little wave because I can not do confrontation like if I could not confront abby ma’am I cannot confront u either I am SHY

And that is a very detailed run down of my time in nyc at the brooks

[gracestone]

1/3 I say this as a former Rina stan now major PW convert, I just dont see how Ricky and Gina can be good romantic partners in the long run. I honestly believe they could have worked in s1 but if s2 showed us anything its that they cant provide what the o/ needs as a romantic partner. Rickys whole arc has been about his aversion to change. Meanwhile Gina needs less change & more stability in her life. Each character needs to learn at least one lesson per season & I just dont see how their...

2/3 character arcs can cross paths romantically. I do believe they can be a great support to one another as friends. I truly believe s3 should end with Ricky single and learning to be ok/happy with that. Not Rina endgame as they claim b/c then he wouldnt really be learning anything and growing as a character. Maybe over time he realizes he has feelings for G but that honestly wouldnt make any sense if the show wants him to really grow and develop as a more well rounded character... 3/3 If theres anything that he learns from his relation/friendship w/ Lily, it should be that he needs to take some time for himself. I just think it would be poor storytelling for him to realize that he has feelings for G by the end of the season esp. when she already moved on. Doesnt seem fair to drag her back to that state of pining after Ricky. Rina have great chemistry but it would be a regression of their characters to be romantic at this point. Also Nini & Gs friendship would be at risk..

I completely agree that Ricky and Gina's individual arcs can't cross paths romantically. They go in opposing directions instead of complementing each other, and so in order for them to get the individual growth they need, they can't be together. Because one of them would always be holding the other back. I've talked about it quite extensively in this post, so I'll try not to repeat myself too much here and instead say something new.

This answer kinda got away from me, so I'm putting it under a read more and dividing it into a Ricky section and a Gina one.

Ricky

I think the mindset that most R*nas have that Ricky needs to let go from Nini romantically stems from a very superficial reading of the show and Ricky's character arc. The show has established that Ricky hates change and that he clings to the past because he feels safe. That much is true. But R*nas wrongly apply that to his relationship with Nini. They argue that because they've known each other for a long time and because he feels safe with her, his love for her is therefore holding him back from growing as a person. So they think that Rini is what's holding Ricky back.

On top of that, the fandom coddles Ricky too much. They feel bad for him when he feels down, so they have this tendency to want to wrap him in a blanket and keep him safe from hurt forever. It's understandable to feel that way about a character you love. But that's essentially what Ricky is already doing to himself, and it's what's keeping him back.

Ricky has a fear of commitment, but it's not because he has "abandonment issues". The only person who has ever "left" him is his mother, and she didn't abandon him. Yes, her going to Chicago was difficult for him (and for her), and at first they didn't talk much. But she did try to talk to Ricky. It's not like she just up and left him and his dad without saying a word. So no, Ricky doesn't have "abandonment issues". His commitment issues stem from a fear of change and, most importantly, rejection.

Ricky coasts instead of committing because he's terrified that he's not actually good at anything. He literally tells us this in 1x09 through the Troy quote he chooses:

Ricky is so afraid of failure that he'd rather not try new things at all. Because caring about something really deeply and then finding out that you're not good at it or messing it up? That hurts. Deeply.

He was terrified to tell Nini that he loves her, because he watched his parents tell each other that same thing all his life until they eventually stopped doing so and their relationship fell apart. In Ricky's eyes, his parents failed at their relationship. And not just that: he saw how much it hurt his father when his mother stopped loving him and ended their relationship. If Ricky admits that he loves Nini, their relationship potentially falling apart would only hurt him more, and he'd be left devastated like his father was. So he shuts down and tells Nini he wants a break instead. He'd rather put things on pause now than risk getting hurt even more after admitting how much he cares. But once he realises that by doing so he drove Nini further away from him and ended their relationship, he realises that he does need to show how deeply he cares sometimes.

His love for Nini has never been a problem. In fact, it's the one thing that drives Ricky's character arc in a positive direction. Because his love for Nini is intrinsically tied to his love for music.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Nini confessed her feelings to him through song. It wasn't just her way of putting herself and her talent out there for all the world to see while saying "I love you" in a way that felt safe and fitting for her. I think she knew that Ricky would secretly love it if she wrote a song for him. Because at the end of the day, no one knows him like she does. She's the only girl who knows what he's about (his words). That's why Ricky feels so safe with Nini and why he's braver when she's around to encourage him and believe in him. Like when she wanted him to come back on stage with her to sing Breaking Free. He felt he wasn't at his best, but she told him to just look at her, and it worked. He gave an incredible performance.

The thing about Ricky's "relationships" with Gina and Lily is that they are his safe options. Because neither are asking Ricky to commit to anything. Gina's "just fly, dude" comment summed it up pretty well. Just go with the flow and see where they land. Ricky and Gina "worked" as a flirtation in season 1 because they were both terrified to admit how much they cared about both the people in their lives and the show. Neither of them wanted that snatched away from them. But while Gina was afraid to admit that she cared because she feared she could never get the stability she needed to keep the things she cared about, Ricky was afraid to dream bigger and take more risks to get the things he wanted. He needed to put himself out there for all the world to see, but he was afraid that would lead to rejection and failure.

In addition to Gina and Lily not asking Ricky to commit to anything, they also don't challenge or inspire him to grow. They only compliment him on the things he does right, but they never call him out on the things he does wrong, let alone demand he does better. He never has to face any hard truths with them. He craves validation so badly, but the downside of him getting that validation too much is that he starts taking the things he has for granted and stops working as much for them as he should. He stops trying to be better. Because if he keeps reaching higher and higher, he keeps risking failure and rejection. So if he just keeps doing the same thing that he gets complimented on, surely he'll be safe and happy, right? He would never have to try new things or show how deeply he cares by committing to something, right?

Nini, unlike Gina and Lily, isn't afraid to speak the hard truth to Ricky. And as much as he doesn't like that, he needs to hear it in order to grow. Because as long as people only talk to him about the things he's good at, he can allow himself to coast and not commit to anything. But once he's hit with the hard truth? That's when he changes. Nini is angry with him for not saying "I love you" back, kinda dumping her and making fun of the theater? He joins the theater and puts himself out there by 1) auditioning and 2) declaring his love for her in song. Nini is angry that he's coasting through dance rehearsals and not fully committed to his role as Troy? Ricky stays up all night to practice the dance and gets it right. Nini tells him that he should talk to his mom because talking to her always makes him feel better? He calls his mom and, surprise surprise, he feels better. We see something similar when Mazzara calls Ricky out for being unreliable. Nini had already encouraged Ricky to audition for himself, not for her, but it wasn't until Mazzara essentially said that it didn't suprise him Ricky was giving up that Ricky felt the need to prove him wrong and go to the audition. Ricky needs to be challenged in order to grow.

The people who don't make Ricky face the hard truths make it too easy for him to put off trying to find out who he is. Deep down, Ricky knows who he is and who he wants to be, but because he's so terrified of failure and rejection, he doesn't want to admit it. That's why we get the contradiction in 1x01 of a skater rat who hates musicals and the theater yet for some reason knows how to play guitar. He's terrified of admitting how much he loves music, because what if he's no good at it? So he'd rather hate on musicals and theater people than admit that he's secretly jealous of their talent and their courage to put themselves out there.

The thing about Ricky and Nini is that their character arcs complement each other. Remember the Troy line that Ricky quotes that I mentioned above? Compare that with the Gabriella line Nini chose:

Sounds familiar? Both Ricky and Nini feel like there's a whole other person inside of them just looking for a way to come out. Only Nini finally has the courage to let that person come out, because she spent a summer at theater camp and had EJ to see her talent and encourage her to put herself out there. Ricky still doesn't believe in himself and his talent, so he needs a lot more growth before he can be on the same path as Nini. That's why they didn't work in season 2. Instead of being the person who gives up the role of Troy when Nini needs a solid performer next to her on stage, he needs to become the person who steps up his game and gives her his all, because she deserves a great scene partner.

I think the point of Ricky's relationship with Lily in season 3 will be to get him to a point where he no longer has a choice but to admit what the things in his life are that he deeply cares about and that define who he is. I find it really likely that Ricky will once again try to coast his way through the auditions, only this time he won't magically get the lead. And his relationship with Lily will likely lead to him drifting apart from the other Wildcats. Potentially even Big Red and Nini. Once he reaches a point where he's lost Nini, Big Red, the Wildcats, and the lead (bonus points if the role he lost is Troy), he will no longer be able to pretend like he didn't actually care about any of those things, or like losing them don't hurt him. And once he feels that hurt of rejection, it's up to him to then find a way to deserve the things he wants again. He wasn't able to call the Wildcats his family in season 1, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets to that point at the end of season 3.

And similarly, I think his relationship with Lily will make him realise that he needs to stop equating romantic relationship with personal happiness and that he shouldn't use girls who validate his talents as a way to put off defining who he is and who he wants to be. He needs to stop playing it safe, and he needs to stop trying to get a romantic relationship "right". Love will find him when he's ready. There's no ticking clock on getting it right, which is what Ricky seems to think.

I know he says that it's "weird", but I think he voices it like a question because he wants Big Red to agree with him and assure him that no, you don't just have until you're 21 to find true love. But Big Red doesn't catch on to that, and so Ricky is still left feeling that way. I think that's another mindset he'll grow out of next season, or at least won't be driven by as much anymore going forward.

Essentially, I agree that Ricky will end season 3 having made the choice to be single and to learn how to find happiness outside of a romantic relationship. He'll need to find out who he is before he's ready to commit to anyone. And I think once he becomes confident in the person he is and wants to be, Nini will be there waiting for him. Because at that point their paths will intersect and they'll be able to go forward together. They'll be able to reach for the stars together.

Gina

As for the Gina aspect of your ask, I agree that her ever pining for Ricky again would be character regression. His non-committal attitude with her made it all the easier for her to not really commit to him in return. She kept giving him outs when it came to talking about feelings and she let him get away with taking those outs (as I just talked about in this post). What Ricky did do for her is that he gave her a (false) sense of security. Once she started falling for him and spending more time with him, she started thinking that maybe things wouldn't change this time. That she could start caring about her role, the show, and the Wildcats. And that if things did start to change, she could fight it. Because that's what they did when Miss Jenn was almost fired, and it worked!

But just as Gina is finally ready to admit how much she cares about the Wildcats by excitedly telling her mom about how much fun she's having with them, the rug gets pulled out from under her and her life changes again. In a way that makes her once again feel powerless. It's in that moment and in the following days that Gina needs someone to fight for her. To show her that her life doesn't have to change and that she can have a choice. Just like Ricky voiced his fear that there's a ticking clock on finding true love as a question to Big Red, so does Gina voice this as a question:

Gina is used to not having any control over change, but, as I went into in the post I mentioned two paragraphs above, Ricky is really resistant to change and will fight it and find solutions if he cares enough. However, over the course of 1x08 and 1x09, Gina learns that Ricky didn't fight for her to stay, or at the very least come back. He tells her in 1x09 that he thought he'd never see her again. He accepted that. He's not trying to find ways to get Gina the stability she needs. He thinks that if she wants it, she'll fight for it herself.

The people that do see what Gina wants and needs and find ways to solve her problems and give her what she wants are EJ and Ashlyn. EJ buys her a plane ticket because it wouldn't be fair for her to miss opening night, and Ashlyn offers to let her stay with her for as long as she wants. Gina has always been very independent and hates admitting that she needs help, let alone asking for it, but secretly she wants people to look after her and give her a hand when she needs it. That's why EJ's sweet gestures matter so much to her, and why she's so touched by Ashlyn and Carlos constantly reaching out to her and trying to include her.

She needs people in her life who help her get the stability she craves and who encourage her to let her walls down and let people in. Ashlyn, Carlos and Nini are the people who keep doing that for her platonically (they've been given most of the focus, but that doesn't make the smaller moments with the other Wildcats doing the same thing less important), and EJ does that for her romantically. He's the one who consistently inspires Gina to grow and become a better version of herself, and the one who makes Gina feel seen and understood, instead of feeling invisible or judged. He doesn't project his own insecurities onto her, unlike Ricky (he came at her for having too much ambition, even though he's secretly jealous of her). And in turn, Gina makes EJ feel seen and understood too. Together, they've come to realise that happiness is about other people, not their achievements, and that they're not ready to leave those people behind. And they've inspired each other to become braver and more emotionally honest people. That's huge for both of them, and I don't see them ever regressing back to the people they were before they got together.

Gina needs someone who can match her ambition but who will also show up for her and can give her the stability she needs. That will never be Ricky, because he needs to learn to be brave enough to reach for the stars and come to see change as an inevitable part of life that is neither good or bad. It just is, and he needs to learn to make the best of it. That's why Ricky and Nini are a perfect fit, and why EJ and Gina work so well too. Their character arcs complement each other. And that's essential for a romantic relationship to work in fictional stories. If they can't walk the same path in life, their relationship can never work.

[shoezuki]

Preamble that I feel bad for the guy tbh but how he's dealing w/ it is on him. End a the day he's a whole stranger and he's not like two, he can handle himself (presumably) and if he can't it ain't our business. Also necessary preamble that there are many Ranboo enjoyers who aren't cringe. A lot of them actually. To the point where I don't really like to bring stuff like this up in specific bc it Does magnify problems via exposure

However. Disclaimer that this is a complaint about the worst aspects of my time in a fandom and that this is not all of it aside

TWT RANBOO STANS *DESPISE* LISTENING TO "OUR" STREAMER LIKE NO ONE FUCKING ELSE. THEY FUCKIN' HATE IT. EVERY WORD THAT IS SAID ONSTREAM OR ON ANY OF HIS MEDIA ACCTS IS NOTHING TO THEM. Ranboo is literally not even a streamer to them the way they act. The man will beg, literally fucking BEG over and over to not mention him in people's chats, to not *yell at people in chat to not spam,* to please not use him as a profpic if they're getting into drama, and then concede ground to please not use him as a profpic if you're sending threats, please do not fucking send threats, please, he has said this so many times, and Yet my comrades' twt blocklists are full of Ranboo profpics that send death threats with 0 shame. 0 shame, what so fucking ever. Chat too! Chat the fuck too! Chat is way better than twt bc at least it's not violent but I swear to Christ they are literally deaf! Begging for answers to questions that are answered in his bios and over and over onstream already and in the FAQ that is RIGHT THERE if you scroll down a HALF FUCKING CENTIMETER! Spamming stupid shit, and then spamming "CHAT STOP" even as streamer exhaustedly says "chaaat putting 'chat stop' just makes more spam".

Literally not a single Ranboo stan has basic damn listening or reading comprehension. It shows in how people fail to comprehend basic fucking facts abt his RP character (everyone knew this was coming) and it shows in how no matter how much he fucking pleads people to stop sending fucking death threats with his face attached or says he's uncomfortable giving out certain information people will just trample on those boundaries as if they ain't fucking there. Being in the Ranboo stan twtbase is literally training to blatantly ignore boundaries and dehumanize streamers and it shows in every aspect of how they treat not just "our" streamer but every single person, character, and social media personality they goddamned come across as text to speech machines, dressup dolls, and punching bags

It honestly blows my fucking mind. Like. Ostensibly, you enjoy this streamer and his content, right? Which I would think means you watch his content? But apparently fucking not!

It is honestly fucking disgusting it is unbelievable. I don't like to dwell on it for aforementioned reasons and like, dwelling is also smth streamer has mentioned correctly as Not Good, but genuinely the situation in certain small vocal pockets of the Ranboo stanbase is horrific and I hope these people get so much help and also maybe better material than increasingly unreadable censorship for "die." Actual productive debate is really fun, guys, come have a redemption arc and argue about the effects New L'Manberg had on c!Ranboo with me, please, why can't we all be nice, god, why,

Anyway that's my piece. Thank you for hearing me out I believe this is the first time I've gotten the chance to try to flex the new lack of charalimit for asks and I must say I enjoy it

YEAAAAAA FUCK IT UUUPPPPP FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSS JESUS FUCK YAAAAA

tbhtbh I USED to watch ranboo but i jus like. Cant anymore from donations n the unfortunate fact that So Many People whove gotten At me on twitter have ranboo pfps and how a lot of them treat him is genuinely Gross to me. Even jus w like. Seeing shit bout him and tubbo being 'roommates' rn like i HATE that shit. Ppl objectify him n ignore his boundaries n jus do such horrible shit w his name all over their accts n its despicable. I feel so harshly for the dude like that shit Sucks. But also he does tend to 'give in' to twitter shit sometimes like when he was saying not to trend stuff bout his meetup because he didnt want to 'overshadow' current events (altho ppl on twitter couldnt even listen to him for THAT)

Its jus a Shame cuz like. The dude Is genuinely cool. N he cares a lot. I feel his 'fans' of this calibre take advantage of his leniency/desire to please people and his Anxieties around messing up in any minor way n they jus. Walk on him in that regard. Cant even respect their own streamer

I think a bit ago i said somethin on it like. How sometimes i think these twitter ppl dont even LIKE ranboo or actually Watch Him. They jus want to feel some sort of moral superiority of stanning an 'unproblematic' cc and have some sense of control over a cc considering how he was made to apologize on his alt for those largrly harmless 'i dress like a lesbian' jokes he made. Like truly this weirdass gross community they made under his name is such a fucking shame n it sucks. No doubt its turned other ppl away from his streams Like Me

#twitter beef #discourse #death threats #ask to tag #ranboo critical #i THINK? ya that works #i DO feel for ranboo but also sometimes im like. dude cmon bdksgsidhd
