Me when I'm on a writing streak: I am my best self, the muses stoke my mind like a great engine, lets see if I can blast through another five pages before bed.
Me when I'm not on a writing streak: There is sand where my words should be.

Owwwww... Just saw the clip of Philza seeing Bads 'GO DAPPER' message in chat in the last few seconds of Purgatory and instantly saying 'Fuck we should have took Dapper,' and right as the timer ends and it faded to black he repeated, "We should have grabbed Dapper..."

Is that really JuanaFlippa?
Tumblr media
Based on everything we know right now, the answer is "no"
What's more likely is that this is a Binary Monster pretending to be JuanaFlippa.
On a meta level, we know the admins of dead QSMP Eggs said they won't reprise their roles, but it's no fun to base lore analysis on meta alone, so here's a lore explanation for my reasoning:
First, and perhaps the most obvious explaination: JuanaFlippa never had cracks in her shell. She died long before the event where all the Eggs got kidnapped and were returned with cracked shells, yet this "JuanaFlippa" had cracks. What's interesting to note here is that during the Election Dinner when the fake Chayanne and Tallulah tried to trick Phil, he immediately pointed out that they didn't have cracks in their shell while the real Chayanne and Tallulah did. Perhaps the imposter was trying to overcompensate for their previous mistake by adding cracks to JuanaFlippa's shell not realizing that she never had them in the first place.
The reason why I specifically say this is a Binary Monster is because of the signs she left:
Tumblr media
We've already seen the Binary Monster(s) try to replicate regular non-binary writing before when Etoiles encountered the fake Dapper and fake Tallulah (the book he showed Forever pictured below):
Tumblr media
"My Dapper me na name" —> "My name is Dapper"
We know the Codes are constantly evolving and learning, so naturally their writing is getting better too (though we can clearly see 1s and 0s and other errors in "Flippa's" signs despite this).
But what's the Code's motivation in doing this?
In the past, we saw the Code(s) mimic Eggs because they wanted to attack and kill Presidential candidates— but that's a pretty recent development. Remember: before the elections, they were attacking the Eggs (though they also attacked Maximus and Cellbit at one point). The motivations of the Binary Monster(s) has always been unclear, and there's a lot of potential roads we could go down while theorizing, but in the interest of keeping this as relevant to the current discussion as possible, I'll focus on just one:
We have strong evidence to believe that the Binary Monster didn't want Islanders to stay on the island. It kept attacking the Eggs and leaving behind signs that said "Last Warning," strongly implying that it was trying to chase them away.
HOWEVER: shortly before the elections, QSMPGlobal tweeted an image of the Binary Monster above the Federation building.
[ Note: I thought I had this photo saved, but I didn't. I've been scrolling through their media tab for 5 minutes and Twitter crashed, so I'll have to add this photo later. It’s very late and I am so so tired. ]
This is the first time the Federation acknowledged the existence of the Binary Monster, and afterward, it said Islanders wouldn't need to worry about it attacking them. Why would the Federation suddenly acknowledge this physical embodiment of a mistake, an error, on their (supposedly) perfect Island?
The answer? The Federation took control of the Binary Monster. Why else would they suddenly deem it "not a threat"?
We could clearly see the Binary Monster deteriorating over time during the election arc. It looked shabbier and shabbier as time went on during the election arc. Something was clearly wrong with it (perhaps whatever the Federation was doing to control it hurt the Code in some way? Maybe the Federation experimented on it and made their own Binary Monsters?) But I digress-
Tumblr media
The next time we see the Binary Monster after the Election ends is on Tazercraft's recent stream this week. Not only does it have a new upgrade (the strange OP sword Cellbit + Etoiles saw records of), it also ignores Richarlyson and opts to take a swing at Pac and Mike instead.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now here's where things get really weird.
Earlier this week, we also saw the Binary Monster on Etoiles' stream. It didn't attack him, and instead leads him to a sharestone, which teleported him to a portal. He's given this image, then is kicked from the QSMP with the message: "The Nether Awaits."
Tumblr media
So what does this have to do with JuanaFlippa?
...Well, that's the question, isn't it?
This is where things start getting murkier. I want to draw our attention to two specific things Flippa said before she left:
Tumblr media
"It's not safe out there for me."
"Please keep this a secret."
The Binary Monster has already proven time and time again it's a force to be reckoned with. Why would it need to hide? Is it so that it can get closer to Charlie? (And if so, why? To mimic him? To get information?) I think a likelier answer is that the Binary Monster is trying to hide from the Federation itself.
Perhaps whatever the Federation did to shackle it— whether they experimented on it or copied it or whatever— left it damaged and weak. Or perhaps it isn't damaged at all; it just needs to lay low and needs someone else to do its dirty work for it (like sending Etoiles on a quest to find that strange shield in the Nether).
Unfortunately, a lot of this amounts to speculation because we simply don't have enough information yet. (It's also very very very late for me, so this analysis is purely driven by sleep-deprived madness and love for QSMP lore and JuanaFlippa).
Whatever's going on, we need to be very careful and think carefully about this being's motivations. Like Cellbit said: "Eyes always open."
Anyways, feel free to share your thoughts in the tags or comments or whatever, it's always fun hearing what people think of my analysis posts. You can find other analysis posts in my QSMP Info and QSMP talk tag.

(im talking about the characters q!, not the cc!)
imo no one else seems to understand the landduo/foolhalo relationship is much much deeper than "he's a friend who annoys me and i love to annoy him" or "they are secretly in love" in fact i might be as bold as to say NO ONE does till this day. which is pretty funny how they understand and notice the littlest things about each other but no one can see their deep bond despite that... tho to be fair Bad has said multiple times that he praises Foolish till high heaven from his skills, smarts, to his good looks but he would never ever admit it or say it to his face. (he RARELY does actually so when it happens, we all cheer and die) same for foolish.
Jaiden, who is probably one of the closest to Foolish rn said recently no one else takes Foolish srsly or that they are like outcasts of the island or that no one cares for Leo (para). and im like um theres literally Bad who cares a lot for Foolish and Leo. and has said multiple times that he is much more intelligent than ppl have granted him to be (but ofc she doesn't know, she doesn't know the early moments where they would hang out together almost all the time, constant banter, she doesn't know of THE convo where Bad literally for his advice and was treating and talking to him like two gamemasters in equal footing talking about the games they will play, she doesn't know should anything happen to Bad, he left Dapper in Foolish's care, Foolish constantly leaves Leo in Bad's care, she doesn't know that Leo loves and adores his Tio Bad, she doesn't know a lot of their "true hidden" relationship/sides, she doesn't know how easy Foolish can read Bad like an open book like that mine roulette game which i think she participated but not when both bad and foolish were playing iirc etc etc) not to mention theres also Roier who cares a lot for Leo and vice versa and constantly thinks about her (but this post about foolhalo so i digress)
There was also that moment with Bagi and Tubbo where they were like go ahead and cage Foolish or smtg. like daring Bad to do it. Bad was like aww thats no fun, its boring (cuz yk theres no song and dance, theres no arguing back n forth, it was just that). so when foolish shows up and bad was like hey could u step in ig *shrugs* Foolish was like urgh ok ig. I still remember Bagi's and Tubbos reaction, they were like mildly surprised. like ok what now. Bagi then said to Foolish, hey Bad is insane. Foolish then replied, yeah i fcking knew that already (in a so what tone) and again, Bagi seemed slightly taken aback. Tubbo then went on a rant about them being in love or smtg idk.
or the time when Bad would make a torture chamber for Foolish which he willingly went along cuz why not. and ppl were making angst about it as if Foolish didn't just walk into the torture chamber willingly to play a fun torture game with Bad smh.
also the time when Foolish was hiding his hurt over Leo's absence but Bad knew deep inside he feels deeply. that time where Foolish will run away from everyone else when confronted about his feelings but finally stood silently besides Bad in comfort, instead of a hug. (wasn't Jaiden there for that?)
--
theres soooo many foolhalo landduo moments where so many fans just blatantly ignore, like they have selective memory. genuinely confuses me everytime, like are we even watching the same POV.
theres also a lot of moments where ppl were gen mad at bad for the pranks n shit, like its 2023 ppl, we've been thru with this already in dsmp, do better pls. (ik them be new fans but still urgh)

Comprehensive list of Queer Pop Artists (wether through themes in songs or through confirmed ID) you could be supporting instead of throwing a fit over the fact that Swift is not gay and would really like if y’all stopped speculating (because it’s wrong to boil someone down to who they bone, and dangerous and harmful to out someone, thought we knew this as the queer community, but I digress)
List was created by a now deleted account on Reddit, so I can’t credit the exact person who created it
A Comprehensive List of LGBTQ+ Pop Music Act’s
additional reference: /u/[**frogaranaman**](https://www.reddit.com/user/frogaranaman/)**'s list divided by identity:** [**https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/c3rpga/happy\_pride\_in\_honor\_of\_the\_month\_here\_is\_a\_list/**](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/c3rpga/happy_pride_in_honor_of_the_month_here_is_a_list/)
^(i divided by genre, so some people appear on multiple lists. I am not a musicologist; please do not ask me why i categorized an artist in one genre, but not the other. if the grammys never even get it right, how can i?)
**methodology**: i included artists who give a clear answer being a part of the community, have had it verified being queer and/or queerness some tangible way, have passed, and/or discuss queer themes in the first person in a moderate or significant part of their body of work. ^(i did not include comedy artists, so you will not see too many camp acts or drag queens here.)
**key**:
* *\** = person and/or representation of color, mostly black
* *(+)* = noticeably problematic
* *(#)* \- uses queer themes or narrators often, but not verified
if I missed someone, or misidentified someone, post a response with their name and genre. i will edit & include them.

Ugh I hope I age as gracefully as Vinny did. Goddamn.
Same. Literally same! He has always been so handsome/dapper/gorgeous. From Service De Luxe to Edward Scissorhands, he was beautiful. I adore him so much. Not just as an actor, but as a human being. His kindness, understanding, talent, knowledge and acceptance, is something that, to me, makes him even more attractive. And sure, he's also insanely attractive and gorgeous, but I digress.
To you, Vincent!
One of a kind legend!

you got your known Minoans and your unknown Minoans (part two)
(reposted, with edits, from Twitter)
(part one on Tumblr)
Tumblr media
So, in Part One of this, I talked about the “Minoan” Boston Goddess statue and how she’s probably a forgery, and a little bit about how explicit Victorian archaeologists were that they wanted Minoan civilization to be a European civilization that was just as old and sophisticated as civilizations from Asia and the Near East.
Anyway, the Boston Goddess, Greek Gibson girl, delicate but dapper pre-Danaan dame... 
She has no provenience. (I learned a thing: provenance is art, provenience is archaeology.) That is, she is without archaeological context. We don't know where she was found.
All those ecstatic articles about her are pretty cagey about where she actually came from. Caskey carefully says, allowing passive voice to do a lot of work, "according to information believed to be reliable, it came from Crete," and everyone else seems to have just run with that. 
His successor as curator, Cornelius C. Vermuele III, who sounds like a walking Stiff Upper Lip, claims that the statue arrived via "a Greek-speaking Boston lady returning from the American School of Classical Studies in Athens," (natch, because she wouldn't have been the sort of lady to just vacation there).
Anyway, this Greek-speaking but safely Bostonian lady happened to befriend some Cretan immigrants in steerage--so enlightened--and they showed her the Boston Goddess--in fragments at the time--in a tin and she was like, HUP HUP MY DEAR SWARTHY FOLK YOU MUST TAKE THIS TO THE MFA.
And of course that was how it found its way into its proper home in a Boston museum--which of course purchased it for a "fair price"--and not with Greeks traveling in steerage.
No one at the museum could name this beneficient Boston lady who guided the figurine there, of course.
So then, another museum employee, Cyrus Aston Rollins Sanborn, who sounds like a walking handlebar moustache, tells the same story except now it's a male archaeologist befriending a lone Greek man in steerage. Everyone agrees on the "steerage" part, though, so that's something. Her fragments were maybe in a cigar box, maybe in a cigarette tin (the museum still has some fragments too small to be used in the restoration in a comely soap box), but I digress.
There weren't any ships sailing from Piraeus to Boston during the specified period, but it would be low-brow of us to concern ourself with things like facts about where one of the most important archaeological discoveries about the CRADLE OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION came from.
Anyway, I promised you I'd bag on Arthur Evans so let's do that: 
Arthur Evans went to Crete looking or evidence of prehistoric European writing systems because he couldn't stand the fact that Middle Easterners invented our alphabet. (No, I mean, Mysteries of the Snake Goddess literally says: “he was hoping to prove early Europeans were no less literate than ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians.”)
Speaking of Crete, it was having a bit of a day back around the turn of the last century.
Until 1898, the Ottoman Empire ruled it 
Until 1913, it was a protectorate of the Great Powers 
After 1913, it was part of the Hellenic Republic of Greece
But they all agreed on one thing:  STOP LOOTING THE PLACE AND CARTING OFF ALL ITS STUFF.
So unless something was a "duplicate" or insignificant, you had to turn it over to the authorities. But Arthur Evans was a Britisher, by golly, and wasn't going to be told what he could and couldn't do while hunting proof that Europe had always been just as sophisticated as Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
He'd already robbed tombs at Trier, skulls from Dubrovnik, and antiquities from Psychro, Trapeza, and Karphi. He knew that the archaeological importance of objects is deeply linked to their context, but considered rules about unauthorized digging "frivolous.” And he felt bad for collectors, rich people being stymied by all those rules--so, well, those rules would just have to be broken, even if that resulted in a "permanent injury to science."
In 1908, a Cretan customs agent caught him smuggling stuff he'd looted out of Crete. Rather than give it back, he tossed the package into the harbor. 
He also got the customs agent fired.
In Part Three: this fine upstanding gentleman excavates the palace at Knossos, misplaced cats, fantasy worldbuilding, and Isadora Duncan being insufferable.

From my OTHER accounts that happened to be hacked into - hmm! i wonder who did this the 3rd time around..hmm the mind boggles... anyways
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is heavy on my heart to finally admit my immense disappointment and dismay how the woman who brought us the incredible, uncompareable Captain Kathryn Janeway has completely neglected, surrendered and abandoned what was a hero that others fail to compare to. That woman is Kate Mulgrew- herself.
In the early 90s during the Voyager season, she would often appear on guest shows (as well as out and about) sporting a dapper pant suit,her slender figure slayed the shit out of them. She was cool as hell! .Her swag, her facial expressions. She was a black woman in a white skin. That coolness was so fitting with the Captain.
After the show drew to a close on May 23 2001, It soon become apparant to me there was a distinctive shift both in her dress sense, demeanor, confidence, comfortability and spirit. Even though it was painful to watch such an revelationary show come to an end, i lived in hopes she would view her experience - not only as an immense accomplishment, but as an inspiring journey that would go onto encourage her to continue to tap into more of her inner strength and utilise her incredible talent,when it came to her pursue of future roles . Roles that will continue to showcase her amazing energy and endurance as an actress.
I had been a follower of Kate’s work prior to Voyager, but was never a fan. When she embarked on Voyager and took it by storm , all hell broke lose.I was in owe to witness how she blew that mf’er up! - Literally with her magnificent performance in episode Year of Hell . From that point, i was singing her praises as far and wide as possible. I was never one to have posters decorated around my room , nor was i an advert convention goer. I have only been to one.
I was also never a fan of Kate -on a personal level , her lesbophobic views has always plaque her throughout her entire life. She seemed to only capitalises on the subject due to majority of her fans being lesbians. She used her fake support of the LGBT Community as a means to stay relevant for the purpose of her career. That mindset has hindered her in so many ways , both creativity and personally. But that is not neither here or there.
As Captain Janeway, she exuded an amazing physical sharpness, an undeniable flairless nature beauty with the use of little make up. She was exceptionally stunning.
In 2013, Kate starred in a show called Orange of the New Black. The very thought of the title makes me cringe. Out of curiousity i forced myself to watch the first season and my heart completely sunk. I struggled to focus on the words that came out of her mouth. All i could think of was “ What happened to that naturally strong, sharp, muscular powerhouse with a stamina that can take on 5 guys in a fight?. I was baffled.
In 2015, i created a Twitter account which celebrated such a wonderful character - that was of Captain Janeway . The account was entitled InvincibleCptJ . Consequently, it was hacked and in-turn my email address which was linked was also hacked . I can only hazard a guess onto whose team was responsible as i later learned several other fans had their dedicated pages succombed to the same demise.
Tumblr media
The number of people that followed my page ( at the time showed 264 people )was all removed by the hacker.
Followed by the second page created which automatically deleted by Twitter
Tumblr media
Then followed my Tumblr account - which was mysteriously hacked and then followed my recent account - JanewaytrulisterLatifah . I later discovered from various people happen to have pages dedicated or have some mention of this persons, page have also came to the same demise, But i digress.
Katie tried to insert some of the Captain’s traits, but it just was not working-certainly not for me. It was haggard, uncomfortable and an excruciatingly painful rendition. Orange of the new black was automatically cancelled in my head. By now my patience of her deliverance was waying thin. I then heard she was due to appear in another show . Fingers, toes and whatever else was crossed only to recieve another knock back. All that came to mind was " Oh God, She went on another bender the night before". It was so obvious to see. I did not take the time to watch the show, the publicity photos showed me all i needed to know.
Kate, has completely abandoned ship and abandoned her rank as the Captain. Throughout the lengths Jeri Ryan has gone to tear her down and dismantel her career, i had ALWAYS had her back and always had faith she will continue to come on top. She was built for the trenches right? and no one -by the likes of Ryan would frazzle an exceptional talent with a huge range, undeniable talent and creativity. I wanted her to win even more after that …woman’s lynch on her.
I wanted to believe that Kate had hidden gems locked away, ready and waiting to be unleashed and shock the system of her enemies and doubters, but time again , she has become the mercy of Ryan’s words. She has indeed retreated and lost focus, which has become apparant from the roles she has continue to accept. She appears unworthy of her own greatness ,unworthy of heroic strong roles that morally held her with high esteem for over decades-prior to Voyager. She has claimed defeat .
It should not be about forming an allegience with someone that has delibrately broken her trust and the line of secrecy. Their only motive was to destroy her career and fanbase, so theirs can grow , become relevant and in doing so - take her spot. And it is now come to flourish.
I had not watched any of her roles since the one season of Orange is the New Black and cannot say that i will ever again. For me, Captain Janeway was and always will be her staple, the pinnacle of her career and one that was honorable by Kate and Captain Janeway.
Live Long and Prosper in my memory, Captain Janeway ~Janewaytrulvlisterpeake

22, 30, 51 for OTP asks? For Taren and Dorian because I love them.
You know it you know itttt. Going to answer predominantly for the Matchsies-verse because I am back In It right now :3
22. What reminds each of their partner?
Taren: He's started associating him with all his favourite things and places. Libraries, good coffee, cooking spices and incense and magic, especially the flashier things; silver and crystals and those kind of bougie shops that sell that sort of paraphanalia. Also the colour black, and bad weather, because he can her him complaining about it in his head.
Dorian: he's new to the city, and even though Taren's only been in Denerim a few years, he seems to just fit right in. So everything, literally everything. Busy streets and dogs and graffiti and the grey foggy coastline and the train bridges and the public art installations and the nicer galleries too. Every single tattoo shop and record store and grungy looking club and eclectic looking coffee shop. Parks. Trees. Grass. Birdsong. Kids playing. Anyone speaking Elvhen in passing and definitely if they curse in it.
30. Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing? Was literally joking about this earlier but. Dorian gets him to finally dress up. Much as he's tempted to do something sexy and risque he just can't help himself, he'd go for the works. Taren never dresses up, he never wears anything particularly form-fitting, hell, he barely ever even wears black. So there's silk and textures and jewelry and it's all snappy and clean and super dapper and nice.
Taren has him get naked. "What? I like it when you're naked," he says with an annyoingly satisfied smirk. Dorian can't complain.
51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you? Copying you here because crying crying crying etc. Also ch. 2 of Matchsies 2 electric boogaloo (aka A Complicated Match) is like. 90% nonverbal "I love you" but I digress. You'll see. But for now, drabbles: Dorian texts, "take your break between 1:00 and 2:00 if you can, so I can call you on mine." He does this, Taren knows, because he's trying to trick him into taking his full hour. So he does, leaves the schedule block empty despite three pleading phone calls to fit in a butterfly and a quote and a pawprint today, and tells Sera he'll be in the back. At 1:15, he's on the phone when the bell chimes over the door, and Sera hollers back to get his attention. "Hold on," he says. "Tell her your on your lunch," Dorian complains back. "I will, I will." Out front, Sera is laughing at the desk, gesturing dangerously as she talks with a full cup of frothy-frozen-wipped-topping-and-vaguely-coffee-tinted beverage in her hand.
There's another, plainer, cup of coffee sitting on the desk with his name on it, and Dorian winks at him as he hangs up. -- "It's bloody ridiculous!" Dorian repeats for the fifteenth time, pacing in his wide kitchen. "I'm not changing it. I'm not changing it again." Taren nods solemnly.
"There isn't enough time in a bloody semester to cover both the Drakus methods and the Galitean principles in full, and why in the Void would I teach Galitean to a bunch of first-years! Half of them are never going to use it again in their lives, and the other half will stop using it as soon as they've understood Drakon!" Taren nods again. "It's ridiculous," he agrees. "The only reason anyone would use Galitaen these days is too write proofs as to why --" he pauses, mid stride. "Actually." Taren looks up at him, smirking as Dorian's expression goes distant and thoughtful. "That wouldn't make a terrible assignment." "And it would cover the new curriculum mandates." "While showing how very ridiculous they are." Now, there's a spark in his eye, inspired. "I need a pen." Taren passes him the one he has tucked behind his ear. -- For the past two weeks, time seemed to have stopped. Every hour a century, every minute milenia, et cetera. The longing has ceased being melodramatic or romantic, and has become simply mindnumbing. The airport is bright and unfriendly and the air feels clammy. Dorian checks his phone again, writes to Taren that he's minutes away from being through customs and calling a car and that he's desperate, aching, to be back in his arms.
Taren replies, "good," and "that was too fucking long a trip, vhenan." He closes his eyes a moment and tries his utmost to hear it in his voice. He retrieves his bag after too many minutes of watching bags that aren't his go round and around the carousel, and pulls it along through the last gate. He's too busy looking past the small crowd at first to see him, too busy peering ahead through an automated glass door to where the taxis wait on the street. So it makes him jump when he hears it. "Dorian!" He's grinning. He's holding a full dozen roses. Dorian is taking them from his hands before he realises his feet have even moved. He says stupid things, things that are miles and miles away from the only words he'd dreamed of saying and hearing and saying again, all flight. "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" "No." "Why - why roses?" "It's romantic." "You're a bloody --" and he's crushing the flowers against his back, Taren is crushing his ribs with this embrace. "Bastard," he whispers.

I gotta know what your favorite Steve look was cuz ngl these two hooked me 🥵
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Strap in because I'm feeling especially unhinged and annoying tonight.
We all know that I am nothing but a slut and I go positively apeshit for
Tumblr media
✨The Scrubs✨
But in my true and honest opinion, this was not just an outfit. Those scrubs had their own starring role. They stole the show. They are in a category all their own. And for that reason and that reason only, I must regrettably exclude them from my choices.
Let me first address the fact that every. fucking. outfit. in this godforsaken movie came directly for my pussy throat. I mean???? All those soft and cozy sweaters? How insane was he to wear them so sexily? I bet he has so many in all kinds of colors and it drives me crazy just to think about it. But I digress...for argument's sake, here are my nominations...
An absolute triple threat of life-altering fashion from my favorite Flesh Father:
Tumblr media
Firstly, I must agree with your above and mentioned choice in this brown-sweater-blue-jacket combo. However, specifically from this detrimentally soft scene where he utters that little shy "hi" inside Noa’s cell. *chef's kiss*
Tumblr media
Then we’ve got the Dapper Dinner Daddy. An absolute banger of a choice, right? How can you crucify a man for his doings when he looks this goddamn sleek in his snazzy little button-down? He came to dinner and not only ATE but also SERVED! 
Tumblr media
And to round out this lovely trifecta, I cannot neglect to bring your attention to what is arguably Steve in my most favorite form: Forrest Stump. Nothing makes an outfit quite like the accessory of fresh blood — in the shade Dick Chomp. Truthfully, this look (for me, personally) was less about the actual style and more about his bold and daring choice to show so much skin. It was a risk, but I think it paid off for him. As a true pioneer of fashion, even in the midst of getting his ass creamed and losing possession of every single one of his victims, he never forgot the power that a nice fur-lined flannel coat can bring to an outfit and for that...this look has my utmost respect. Plus, I just think it’s kinda hot. 😏

For @one-more-offbeat-anthem 's 1k follower celebration. The prompt was "sickfics" and I've never written a sickfic in my life so, naturally, I adapted a scene from one of my comfort movies (Fever Pitch, 2005). HUGE congrats on your milestone love!!!
read on ao3 or below (1.5k words)
Castiel should've known better than to listen to his brother regarding food. They have wildly different palates, and why he agreed to accompany Gabriel to lunch at some newly-opened new-age restaurant with barely any reviews, he'll never know. He wasn't thinking.
He could think even less that night, hunched over the toilet with food poisoning while his date knocked on his apartment door.
As soon as he could, Castiel scrambled to his feet and wobbled over to open it, his over-excitable golden retriever on his heels. Dean stood there in a nice leather jacket, all dapper and first-date-ready with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and it broke Castiel's heart to have to tell him:
"I'm sick."
He was sure it was evident in his eyes, death breath, hair sticking out in all directions from holding his head above the toilet, but he said it anyway.
"I'm really sick, I'm sorry. Come back tomorrow."
Castiel went to close the door, but Dean took a cautious step, bouquet forgotten at his side. "Sick how? You in pain? Do you need anything?"
"I just-" Castiel swallowed forcefully. "I ate at this new restaurant and-"
Just thinking about it made him run to the bathroom again, and he almost didn't make it on time. He barely registered Dean, still at the doorway, say something about Castiel (Cas, he called him) not needing to fake it if he didn't want to go out with him. A few seconds later, the door closed, and Castiel (still puking) thought that was that. He blew it with the handsome schoolteacher, all thanks to his brother's awful culinary taste.
His dog's wasn't so far behind. "Honey, please don't eat that," he reprimanded her, failing to shoo her out of the bathroom.
When he felt he was done, for the time being at least, he tried to stand. He was weak, and for a second he thought he might split his head open on the toilet seat, but then Dean was there, hands on his waist, helping him up. "I got you," said Dean, over and over again, and Castiel believed him.
Dean helped him to his bed where he tried to sit him down, but Castiel must've been weaker than he thought. He flopped backward, and then Dean cautiously lifted his head and placed a pillow underneath.
"Thank you."
"Got some more comfortable clothes? Something to sleep in?"
It's then Cas remembered he was already dressed for the date, slacks and a white button-up (probably grossly stained, he hated to think), and pointed Dean to a drawer.
A second later Dean was gently hoisting him back to his feet, strong hands at his sides, saying "Here, I'll help you change. Promise I won't look. Too much, I won't look too much."
And that actually made Castiel chuckle.
Dean unbuckled and took off his slacks first, replacing them with sweatpants. It was a slow, quiet process, and Dean only spoke up after he'd taken off Castiel's tie and shirt. "Alright, I gotta be honest, I'm looking. Sorry, Cas."
Cas couldn't help another chuckle. Dean was incredibly respectful through it all, careful not to touch any skin unless he had to, which was mostly to keep Cas from falling over. He slipped a t-shirt onto him and laid Cas back down on the bed, this time with his head where it was supposed to be. That's when things started to blur, when his head hit the pillow.
"I don't think there's anything left in there, but just in case..."
Cas, through hazy vision, noticed Dean putting his empty hamper next to the bed. He thanked him, repeatedly. Cas isn't sure how many times he said it, over and over again, thank you.
"Hey, no, you just get some rest," was the last thing Cas heard Dean say before he was out like a light.
Cas suspects he briefly regained consciousness three times during that night.
The first time, he's sure of. He felt a hand on his shoulder, slowly coaxing him awake. "Here," Dean said softly, placing a bottle of Gatorade with a straw in it on the nightstand. "Drink this if you can, alright? Get your strength back." Cas nodded and fell back asleep.
The second time was more questionable, and he only knows it was real because he saw the results of it in the morning. He slowly awoke on his own and saw Dean in his bathroom across from his bedroom door, wearing rubber gloves and scrubbing away at the toilet with a sponge. Cas tried to stop him, tell him no, please, you don't have to do that, really, but couldn't help sleep drag him back down before he could get the words out.
The third time is the most unbelievable. Borderline fantastical. If it was real, he might just have to marry this guy.
Cas thinks he saw Dean brushing Honey's teeth.
Out of everything that happened the night before, that is all he can think about as he steps out of the shower in the morning. He plans to call Dean, send a fruit basket to his school, invite him on the best date of his life to repay him for all he did, and ask him. It's going to sound ridiculous, did you brush my dog's teeth or did I hallucinate that, and Dean will probably turn down his invite. If not for the hell he went through that night, then for Cas being insane.
And then Cas finds Dean asleep on his couch, Honey snuggled into his side. And yeah, he's probably going to marry this guy. This schoolteacher who happened to pick him and his office as a field trip destination for his math kids. This adorable guy that came back later that same day, thanked him for getting through to the kids (which Cas didn't think he had, but he digresses), and then asked him out. This unbelievably sweet guy that Cas initially rejected, god knows why, but then called at his school and left a message for, Saturday at seven, here's my address, because he couldn't get him off his mind. This caring, thoughtful, heaven-sent guy who showed up with flowers, now in a vase on his dining table, found Cas with food poisoning and proceeded to take care of him, his dog, and his apartment the rest of the night.
Before Cas can think about marrying him again (which he was going to, the hopeless romantic), Honey startles and jumps off the couch, waking Dean. Cas doesn't move, just watches as Dean sits up, notices him, then sits up straighter.
"Hey! Hey, how you feeling?" Dean asks, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the back of his hand. He put products in his hair for the date, Cas notices, because it's now stiffly and adorably messed up.
"Much better. I won't be entering any pie-eating contests any time soon, though."
"Too bad. That was my next date idea."
Cas smiles, the words next date making his heart flutter in his ribcage. His question pops back into his mind.
"Did you, um..." Don't ask about the dog, he'll think you're crazy. He decides to go with "Did you clean my bathroom last night?" even though he knows the answer.
"Me? No."
Well. Cas thought he knew the answer. Probably dreamed it too. But then who-
"The vomit elves came in," Dean continues. "Real cute. Little hats, miniature vomit bags, adorable. Efficient too."
Cas is stuck somewhere between smiling so wide his cheeks hurt, and shaking his head while rolling his eyes. "Did the elves brush Honey's teeth too?"
"Oh no, that one was me."
And that has Cas laughing in earnest. At the sound of her name, Honey came bouncing back, settling next to Dean on the couch.
"Not letting the little bastards take credit for that one. This sweetheart loves me, and I earned that myself," Dean says, scratching Honey between her ears, enraptured.
"Dean, thank you." At that, Dean looks up. "Thank you. You could've just left, but you chose to stay. And you went above and beyond. Thank you."
Dean looks away and stands, trying to play it off with a wave of his hand. "Nah, it was nothing."
"It was everything," Cas says stepping forward, placing a beckoning hand on Dean's shoulder. Dean finally looks at him with a barely-there smile and a gaze that wants to escape, but he fights for it to stay on Castiel's face. Cas is glad he does, because he needs Dean to see, understand, how grateful he is.
"I uh... I got you these." Dean reaches for a paper bag on the coffee table, and that's when Cas takes his hand off his shoulder. "Some movies."
"Such as?"
"Mostly anime porn," Dean says, and Cas is doing it again, the chuckling/eye roll/head shake combo. "And some stuff I like to watch when I'm not doing great."
"Well, for me that would be documentaries."
"Wait." Dean blinks. "What? What did you say?"
"Documentaries. Preferably environmental, or perhaps historical in nature."
"No way, you're not gonna believe this," Dean says, a bit too much surprise on his face. "This is insane dude, check this out..."
He reaches into the bag, and Cas half believes he's about to pull out a copy of Disney's Earth. He's delighted to be wrong.
"Roadhouse."
Cas laughs again, and the beaming smile on Dean's face is what convinces him. He is definitely going to marry this guy.

If I ran Galar (the super unpopular followup to "If I Ran the Zoo") I'd make it a Gen with the fewest new pokemon yet and trolly inch slower and slower to that 1000 poke limit by filling the region to the brim with regional variants. I'd also revamp the baby pokemon by making it only pokemon hatched from babies can achieve gigantamax, but I digress. REGIONAL FORM TIME.
England is the birthplace of rabbit breeding. I figured, why not give the bunny pokemon the extra edge especially when a bunny's literally one of the starters? So here's Galarian Buneary and Lopunny and Galarian Bunnelby and Diggersby.
Inspired by CynicalHound's adorable Lopunny boy and Diggersby gal, I decided to play with the gender coding of the rabbits here. Garalian Lopunny is a dandydo-dapper based on a rhinelander rabbits while Galarian Diggersby is a big poofy queen inspired by Angoras.
Oh and I updated my redesign of Cinderace by the by. Cindy still needs some white on him, and I wanted it to look more like a uniform.

❥ ┋ ❝ nanami & where he’d take you on your first date together!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@densecloud​​ said: aaaa new ask game!!! can i request for 'court' & nanami? thank you so much toya!! ٩(♡ε♡ )۶
a/n: YES U CAN LESLIE!!! I had so much fun thinking of all the dates Nanamin would take you that I had a hard time narrowing down one... so I wrote for all of them! I think it gives a neat, interactive twist to your original request. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. <33
tw: none.
ask game: 💌 15 valentine’s day questions (closed!)
disclaimer: I’m anime-only outside of the prequel, so apologies if my character interpretations aren’t accurate.
Tumblr media
Nanami is a planner. he doesn’t like going about things on a whim. that applies for work, his days off, and most notably, his first date with you. 
that isn’t to say he wouldn’t let you plan the date. no, Nanami just gets a certain pride taking you out. after all, he wouldn’t be courting you unless he had some sort of background with you. in this case, being jujutsu sorcerers has made you uncomfortably close. that just comes with working in a profession with so few colleagues. and with it being a horribly draining job, you’ve seen each other at your best and worse.
hence, Nanami lets you pick what kind of vibe you’d like for the date. he’d like to think he knows you well enough to plan something himself. but letting you have some agency allows him to gauge what to do. plus, the fact you’re not a Tokyo native lets him narrow down where in the city would be the best place to take you.
if you tell him you want something laidback, Nanami interprets that as a typical, casual date. nothing too strenuous. that doesn’t mean they have to be boring, though. he takes you to a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop in Musashino. it’s tucked away in some alley, and despite its sketchy location, the interior is surprisingly cozy. locals chat quietly while university students scribble notes in tattered workbooks. it isn’t much, you’ll admit. it’s not much different from any other coffee shop. but the moment your mocha hits your tongue, you immediately understand why Nanami likes this place so much. it’s sweet without being overly sweet, chocolately and warm. like a hug from your best friend: familiar and comforting. Nanami tells you how he met Gojo while you’re here. it’s casual conversation. you learn that despite their contrasting personalities, there are few people that Nanami trusts more. maybe one day he’ll trust you as much as he does your shared colleague. it’s a thought that makes your heart as warm as your mocha does for your hands. (and while you may not know it now, Nanami already trusts you with everything.) you find yourselves at Inokashira Park shortly afterwards. it’s a surprisingly warm day in March -- why not enjoy the weather while you can? he comments on the history about the park. something about how it was privately owned by the emperor until the twentieth century. when you ask when the cherry blossoms will bloom, he tells you not until the end of March. you click your tongue. “hm. guess we’ll have to plan another date for then, huh?” “...I suppose we do.” he wouldn’t admit how warm his ears felt in that moment.
if you tell him you want something fun, Nanami will take you to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. he honestly doesn’t know how you’ve lived in the city for this long without visiting it yet. there’s something exciting about it, though; to be the person you share this experience with. he’s thankful for that much. to say the museum is huge would be an understatement. the building is massive. there are tons of exhibits to explore and even more sections to learn from. it’s... well... it’s a little overwhelming. yet Nanami is patient with exploring the whole thing. he doesn’t yank you from display to display. he lets you take it at your own pace, following you wherever you want to go, adding his own quips of information he’d learned from the several field trips he’s taken here as a child. after all, the museum is a staple. it’s one of his favorite places in the city. that’s half of the reason why he brought you here. the other half is because he loves that look of bewilderment you get on your face. the museum features an interactive exhibit of Old Tokyo, with employees strolling the streets in traditional garb. they chat with visitors and offer small gifts, and boy. your face just lights up every time they give you some dumb knick knack. when you smile at him, showing him the pencil you got labeled EDO-TOKYO MUSEUM in red lettering, he can’t help but feel the corners of his mouth twitch just the slightest bit upwards, too. such a small thing to be excited about. that’s why he’s so enamored by you, though. he feels a sense of pride when you ask if he can bring you back to the museum sometime soon. he just guides you by the small of your back as you exit the front doors, his lips with another hint of a smile, before saying, “there are plenty of other places we can visit together. let’s plan for it.”
if you tell him you want something different, Nanami finds himself stumped. there are lots of “different” places in Tokyo. Asakusa has the traditional temples, Harajuku has the wild street fashion, and Roppongi has the wilder night life. “something different” doesn’t give Nanami a lot to go off of. but he’ll digress. none of those places would be appropriate for a first date. so he opts for a great hot pot restaurant in Shibuya. Shibuya itself is a great date location. it’s what most foreigners think when they hear “Tokyo.” bright lights, edgy streetwear, huge crowds of people -- all mushed together in one district. it makes your head spin as he guides you through the streets. but where he takes you takes the best parts of Shibuya and puts it in one, little eatery. string lights dangle across the ceiling, twinkling as if it it was the night sky. it’s such a nice contrast from the neon lights outside. teenagers in streetwear morph into dapper, young professionals laughing amongst themselves. and while it’s still a little cramped, it’s not the kind that makes you overwhelmed. it’s cozy. people maintain their space. the hot pot itself is delicious. Nanami orders a little of everything -- some seafood, some fancy meats, a variety of vegetables, and two noodle options -- and God. the moment you take your food from that broth and put it in your damn mouth? ugh. heaven. it’s so savory, perfectly seasoned and just the right texture. the saltiness from the broth brings all the right flavors out of your food. you might have burned your tongue but it’s so good you don’t even care. Nanami laughs when he sees your eyes widen. he carries the conversation while you stuff yourself with noodles and other foods. just some stories about his life before sorcery, about his time as a stockbroker and how much he hated it. although sorcerery isn’t much better, he can at least help the people around him. it’s not much, but it’s better than helping some rich asshole get richer. “you know,” you tell him in between bites, “you’re a better person than you give yourself credit for.” “maybe,” he responds. “or maybe it’s just basic human decency.” he didn’t mean it to come out that harsh. and judging by your expression, you don’t take offense to it. or maybe you just didn’t notice. either way, he hopes you also don’t notice how quickly he turns away. there are much less obvious ways to hide his blush, he can acknowledge that. yet in this moment, all he can think of is all the goddamn hoops you put his mind through.

This was such a good ep! Nothing story heavy this time, just lighthearted skits. Some were more predictable than others but in general, I enjoyed them all! While I do enjoy the new, slightly more serious direction they’re taking with season 3, having just silly skits in an episode reminds me of why I fell in love with the show in the first place.
Iyami didn’t have THAT big of a role this time, but since the skits were pretty short, I can’t really complain. What we’ve gotten of him was very interesting! The way he stayed completely calm while the yōkai!characters basically just... flopped and died in front of him was pretty new! I wouldn’t call it “out of character” per se, while he is loud and boisterous most of the time, I think he has it in him to be quiet and contemplative sometimes. Not to mention it’s a rather adorable state to see him in! Loved him mentioning being from France again too, I don’t think he has used this line at all in season 2, besides when he went to America thinking he was there? I’m glad to hear it again, I feel like boasting about France it’s a crucial part of his character, even if there’s no one to hear, it heh.
His part in the Chibita skit was very good too! I see why the jpn Ososan Twitter liked his outfit so much, he did look pretty dapper in it. Also he got mauled by a tiger for the second time in the series. You know how it is, I don’t particularly enjoy seeing him suffer (I DO laugh at it because he just happens to suffer in rather hilarious and deserving ways most of the time but I digress ) but he DID get away with a scam last ep so it was just a matter of time before something happened to him, really. And I can always appreciate little nods to season 1.
Speaking of Chibita! His skit was so fun, I’m happy to see him being used as something else than the “voice of reason”, especially given that he was a big troublemaker in -kun! I liked how him being disproportionately strong for his size was referenced too, even if in... a rather different way. The art between the skits was very well drawn too! I’d say that my favorite skit was the Matsuzō one though. Just nonsense from start to finish! I love it when the Matsuno parents are shown to be as wacky as their children.
We didn’t get a preview for next week (unusual!) but it seems that we’ll be getting a sequel to that one season 1 skit, To The North, which featured Dekapan and Dayon going in a road trip to see the Aurora Borealis? Or, at the very least, we’ll be getting something by a similar name. I’m curious!

Jackie, he won't stop. Even now, at his weakest, he's taking advantage of your emotions and the love you have for each other. Killing for vengeance is one thing, (and we could talk morality all day and still not come to a proper conclusion on mercy vs consequence but I digress) but killing out of self defense might be a necessity if all of this is to truly stop for good.
Anti pulls out a knife and throws, but his aim is shot and his hand is unsteady. The blade goes flying past Jackie and clatters to the ground.
“You’re really done for, huh?” asks Jackie softly, staring at him.
Anti drags himself to his knees, reaching for another knife. He’s shape-shifting wildly - losing control, Jackie can see - and he looks like a different version of Jack or of them with every moment that passes. The rapid shifting only seems to make him feel more ill. He struggles to get up, but then dandelions and creepvine are exploding from the earth, wrapping him up so tight Jackie hears him begin to wheeze, splitting the wound on his throat and crawling inside. Jackie closes his eyes, nauseated. It’s not a sensory issue this time - Anti just sounds like one of his brothers, choking and crying in pain.
“Fuck, fuck,” whispers Jackie. Blue comes to stand beside him, staring down at Anti.
Anti lets out a fragile scream, and then another, fighting clumsily against the plants that pin him down, trying so hard to glitch that Jackie is scared he will burst into pixels and fall apart completely. His energy is drained and his face has gone shock-white, but still he writhes, looking up at the pair of them with something like terror in his eyes. For a moment, he is a snake, a dog, a bird, a person again. He keens in pain, blood slicking his face from the wound Trick put in his skull.
“This is horrible,” cries Trick, getting to his feet and coming to stand beside his brothers, putting hands on both their shoulders. “Please, make it stop.”
Something flickers behind Anti. Blue grabs Trick, ready to shield him from one last battle as something appears on the ground in front of them, but nothing attacks.
“Jack, Jack,” cries a weak, warbling, glitch-broken voice. A shadowy version of Anti sits behind the imprisoned one of the ground, his hands reaching out. “Sean, help me, I’m sorry, don’t go.”
His throat is wrapped up in bandages. He’s clutching a pumpkin in his lap, a knife sticking out the side, and as they watch, his form begins to sprout feathers, clawing their way out of his skin. The other Anti cries out in pain, pulling on his soft green hair.
On the ground, Anti has gone frighteningly still, his eyes dropping as the blood lists out of him. His fingers twitch around his last blade.
“He’s passing out,” mumbles Trick.
“He didn’t mean to manifest that,” says Blue. “He just doesn’t have control over his magic anymore. Look at him. It’s all his fear and insecurity brought to the surface at last. Not that he was ever very good at hiding it.”
“Jack?” The other Anti is staring up at Trick. He coughs and there’s blood on his throat and fear in his eyes. “Why won’t you help me? Please, please. I’m scared. Don’t let me get stuck again! I don’t want to be an animal! I can’t move!”
Feathers tear his face apart and he howls, scraping at his skin. Trick’s chest heaves and he moves forward, but Blue grabs him and holds him away.
“I’m sorry, Tricky,” he says quietly, keeping him back. “You know we gotta do this. Ro?”
Jackie stares down at hands full of fire. He looks back at both Anti’s. His chest shakes.
Clapping draws their attention and all three of them turn to see JJ shaking his head and signing at them.
“Don’t hurt him anymore,” he begs. “Let him go with Dark. He promised Red this would be the last time he tried to make us his servants.”
“He will never stop following us!” shouts Blue. “He will never stop trying to hurt us! You know that!”
“I can’t watch this,” weeps Dapper. “My brother.”
They have been together since the day he was born.
