#honestly his entire family used to be op as fuck

[peachesofteal]

if we combine all the angst au’s over the past few anons i believe we have ultimate angst:

darling finding out she’s pregnant the day before simon and johnny break up with her ✨

because we all know darling, she’s not gonna stick around and tell them… 👀🫢

SCREAMS! This is gold. A gut punch. An ultimate angst for sure. I could kiss your brain. This could be an entire fic, honestly. 🩵

18+ Mature themes. Disco baby AU (the AUs, they’re multiplying) Reader is pregnant unintentionally.

Just tell them. The words repeat in your head all the way home, over and over. Just tell them. They’ll understand. They won’t turn you away. They won’t be mad. Just tell them.

Easier said then done, you guess. You imagined them, at home, relaxing on the couch, maybe just coming back from the gym, waiting for you walk through the door after work. How could you drop this giant bomb in everyone’s lap, and expect it not to blow up?

You still couldn’t even process it, couldn’t think about this morning, when you were in the bathroom at work, peeing on a little plastic stick, trying not to throw up.

You take a breath in the elevator, trying to steady yourself, trying to relax, desperately, but it doesn’t do much to quell your nerves. You can’t not think about how they might react, how upset they might be or… if they’ll be mad at you. Disappointed.

It's not like you didn't want kids. You've always loved them. Always thought, it might be nice, to have a child, or two. But it's not like you were the best at taking care of yourself, and the nightmares of your own mother played on repeat in your head whenever you considered it. Could you be a good mother? Could you take care of another human?

It wasn't until you met Johnny and Simon that you thought it might be possible. That you might, be able to do it. With them. The three of you, together. Raising a family.

Used to feel like a pipe dream. Now it feels really, really fucking real.

When you finally get through the door, you’re not surprised to see them on the couch. Their posture seems stiff though, like something is off, and you frown while you put your stuff away. A uneasy feeling curls around your heart, and when you step over towards them, Johnny looks distressed.

“What’s wrong?” Your fingers tighten in the cushion, and Simon motions for you to sit, and you do, nervously.

“We have some news.” Johnny says, voice thick. His hand reaches for Simon’s, and you try not to let your breath shake on the exhale. “We’re going out on an op and…” he trails off, and Simon takes over.

“It’s going to be a long mission. Months. Possibly six, to twelve.” The earth fucking tilts on it’s axis, and you can just feel the blood draining from your face. "We don't know when we'll be able to come home, at all." Nausea pitches in your stomach, and you try not to spew the bile that's collecting there to come out through your mouth while you consider his words. Six to twelve months. Gone.

You'll be alone. You'll have to do this, this pregnancy, alone. Without them.

Maybe if you tell them, something will change. Maybe they can stay.

An overwhelming feeling of despair creeps over you, urges you to just spit the words out, tell them your news and let it be done, let the chips fall and see what happens. Surely, the three of you can figure this out. Surely, you all can find a way forward, together.

"We've transferred the ownership of the flat to your name," What? You don't even realize you'd been looking at the floor until your head snaps up, and you see Johnny trying to hide his face for a moment. "And we've decided, that what's best for you, and us, all of us, is that we... take a break, from this relationship, during this op."

No, no no.

It's funny, how the words don't register right away. How they seem to hang in the air, flailing, like they're looking for a place to land. You stare at Simon, and then Johnny, eyes flicking back between the two until it finally hits you, what he said. What he's saying. What he means.

You're going to be sick.

"I-" Your stomach heaves, and you cover your mouth with the back of you hand before swallowing it. Simon looks pained, like he's actually experiencing physical pain, while Johnny just stares at you, red rimmed eyes and all. "I don't understand? What... why?"

Please. Don't do this. Please don't leave me. You promised. You can't. You can't leave me.

You want to scream at them. Hit them. Beg them. Barter.

You'll be better. You'll be stronger. You'll be good. You promise.

Don't leave me.

"It will be healthier for everyone. We... we think it's for the best." Johnny croaks, and hot tears roll over your cheeks, splashing onto the couch. "When we get back, whenever it is, maybe we can have lunch, and catch up. See how we're all doing, and-"

"Have lunch?" the words are incredulous, shocked. You're surprised they come out so clear. "Have... lunch..." Have lunch? Lunch? You'll probably have- oh god. You could have a baby by then.

Their baby.

You stand. You don't know why, except for you need to put immediate space between you and them, and your legs shake while you step away from the couch. You wipe your face hastily, holding your breath to keep yourself from bursting into tears, or worse, falling onto your knees and begging them not to leave you.

"Darling-"

"Don't call me that." you snap, and Simon swallows. "Don't, please." He nods.

"We've arranged a place to stay, for the next two nights, until we leave. We didn't want to stay in your space after..."

"After you dumped me." you finish for him, and he shifts uncomfortably. "Are you already packed, then?" Your voice is higher, pitch like nails on a chalkboard, nearly hysterical. When they both nod, you bark out a sharp laugh, and the palm of your hand presses to your stomach, where a clump of cells sits inside of you. "Well, don't let me hold you up." You step aside, moving halfway into the kitchen and pointing at the door. "Get out." They both hesitate.

"Darling, we still care about you, we still lo-"

"Don't... say that." you cut him off. "I don't need your pity, or whatever this is. I just... need you to leave."

"We don't want to go until we're sure-"

"GET OUT!" you shout, scream as loud as you can. Loud enough the people on the floor above you probably heard. They exchange an uncomfortable glance. "Get. The. Fuck. Out." You point at the door. "Or I'm calling the police." You won't, but they don't know that, at least they don't know it now, and Johnny raises his hands in surrender.

"Okay... okay. We'll go. But, we want to make sure you're okay, we-"

"Leave!" you hiss, and turn your back. You can't even look at them.

Please don't leave me. You promised.

As soon as the door shuts, you fall to the floor, crumpling into a ball while you lose your composure, tears tracking down your cheeks as you scream against the carpet. You scream like your heart is being torn from your chest, scream like your body is being ripped in two. The gaping hole where your love, your life used to be sits rotting, and black. Eviscerated.

Alone. You were alone. You were going to have to do this, make this choice, alone. You were always going to be alone.

Too Good to Be

A/N: First full-length RWRB fic! There’s some spice, but not too much spice to rate it anything but T for Teen. Also, this is going to be a three parter because I just couldn’t stop and it was nearing 10k. So here’s part 1! Super nervous, super excited, super gonna shut up now. Enjoy!

It's finally summer, Alex’s favorite time of the year. Summer means the cabin, no graduate courses, and, most importantly, Henry. His Royal Highness was able to get a full two weeks straight of no engagements. Alex very politely told his scheduler to fuck off when approached with anything that resembled an engagement during those two weeks. Alex isn’t going to allow anything (or anyone) to come between himself and Henry. 

Well, except for Cash, Nora, June, and his father apparently. 

Alex isn’t too upset about his family being around, they all adore Henry and vice versa. The Secret Service is always around, and, honestly, Alex is used to it by now. Plus, Cash doesn't suck.

They're all at the cabin by the lake, and everyone is in bathing suits while lounging on the deck after a long afternoon of boating and jet skiing. Henry is watching videos with June and Nora off Nora's phone and laughing, eyes crinkling adorably. Alex can't help but smile. Last year, Alex wasn't sure he would ever even see Henry again, let alone be at the cabin with him. So much has changed since then. Alex is Henry's official suitor. England has embraced the two of them wholeheartedly, including Henry's older brother. The Queen…well, she still sucks. But everything is practically perfect. 

"Alex!" June calls, waving her hand for her brother to come to her. 

He stands and walks over to the others, still smiling softly. Henry lets out an adorable laugh at the video, and Alex sees it’s a cat compilation video. 

“I left my very comfortable chair to watch cats?” Alex asks, amusement in his voice despite his words. 

“I-I’m sohorry, it’s just so f-funny.” Henry gets out through his giggles. Nora and June are cackling beside him. 

Alex watches as cat after cat jumps in fright after seeing their owners with creepy realistic cat masks on. 

“Y’all are too easily entertained.” 

June snorts. “You spent all day yesterday giggling at British memes.” 

“Oi!” Henry feigns offense. 

“In my defense,” Alex says. “I loved every single one of them.” 

Henry rolls his eyes, but there’s no malice. “I suppose I’ll be receiving a few in the future.”

“You’ll have one every day for a month, baby.” Alex winks. 

Henry blushes beautifully. 

“Alexander.” Henry admonishes, rolling his eyes. 

Alex simply grins widely. 

June reaches over and tweaks Alex’s ribs, causing Alex to squawk and jump. 

“Bug!” Alex swats at her hands. 

“Leave Henry alone, brat.” June chastises, a mischievous grin on her face. Henry smiles smugly, clearly pleased that June was on his side.

Alex scowls at all of them, including Nora because she’s not helping. 

“Don’t scowl, baby brother. You’re too pretty.” 

That mollifies Alex somewhat. “I am pretty.” 

Henry rolls his eyes. 

They spend the entire afternoon outside, drinking beer and wine, watching ridiculous videos, and talking of summer plans. Alex is happier than he’s been in a very long time. Supper has been eaten, s’mores have been consumed, and a movie is currently playing in Alex and Henry’s room. Alex isn’t paying any attention to it because Henry is currently kissing his way down his throat. 

“You’re seriously good at this, has anyone told you that?” Alex asks, stretching his head to the left to allow Henry more access. 

“You have.” 

“Well, I’m always right, so.” Alex lets out a groan as Henry adds a bit of teeth. 

Alex thinks he’ll never tire of this. Not just the awesome sex (and it was awesome), but just having Henry with him…and not having to hide it. Alex absolutely adores holding Henry’s hand while they go shopping. Alex loves that Henry will kiss his cheek during photo ops. Alex enjoys being able to embrace Henry openly. Alex still sneaks very handsy things at very inopportune times for Henry, relishing in the blush it brings to the prince’s cheeks. 

Henry slides his hands very slowly up Alex’s sides, causing him to squirm. He feels Henry smile against his throat. 

“Don’t think I didn’t see your reaction earlier.” 

Alex tenses. 

“I d-don’t know what you’re t-talking about…” Alex trails off. 

“I think we both know that’s not true,” says Henry. This time, his fingers wiggle on their way down Alex’s ribs.

“Ah!” 

Henry chuckles against Alex’s throat as he continues to spider his fingers along Alex’s ribs. 

“You f-fuhucker!” Alex squirms and laughs, reaching for Henry’s hands. Henry avoids them for a few seconds more before Alex finally catches them. Alex is panting slightly, but he narrows his eyes, wraps his legs around Henry’s waist, and flips the two of them onto the floor. Henry lands on his back with an ‘oof’. Big blue eyes look in shock at Alex. 

“Mistake.” Alex growls. 

“N-Now, sweetheart…let’s not do anything hasty.” 

“Nicknames will get you nowhere, baby.” Alex replies. 

Henry blushes and opens his mouth to barter, but Alex is having none of it. Alex turns around so his back is to Henry and goes straight for Henry’s thighs, easily his most ticklish spot. 

“Alehex!” Henry immediately starts laughing. Alex found out about Henry’s ticklishness pretty early on during the ‘friends-with-benefits’ stage of their relationship. Alex and Henry had been lying in bed after a thorough makeout session, still clad only in boxers, and Henry giggled when Alex had lightly traced nonsensical patterns across Henry’s stomach. Alex proceeded to find every ticklish spot on Henry’s body, which…hadn’t been difficult. Henry turned out to be ticklish everywhere, but especially on his thighs and hips. 

“How you’re able to fool around with thighs this ticklish, is kind of amazing.” Alex comments as he rakes his fingers up and down Henry’s quivering thighs. 

“Plehehease!” Henry begs, alternating between pounding on Alex’s back and probably grabbing at his hair if Alex knows him well enough. 

“I do not intend to stop anytime soon,” says Alex. “First, you must be punished for trying to tickle me. And second, you love it when I tickle you.” 

“I’m sohohorry!” 

“I’m sure you are.” Alex turns to face Henry now, wiggling lower onto Henry’s legs.

Henry doesn’t say anything else but instead lets out loud booming laughter as Alex moves to clamp down on both thighs right underneath where they meet Henry’s hips, squeezing mercilessly. Henry is devastatingly ticklish here, and Alex absolutely exploits this. The crease where thighs meet hips is just as ticklish. Alex plans on spending time there as well. 

“Oh baby, you are too adorable.” 

“Shut uhuhup!” Henry tries to command, batting at Alex’s hands. 

“Usually your royal commands are a big turn on,” Alex tells him casually, as if he isn’t straight up torturing his boyfriend. “But this one just doesn’t have the usual oomph.” 

Henry babbles something about ‘dick head’ and ‘fucking fuck.’ Alex can’t help but laugh as he listens to Henry’s own beautiful laughter. 

“You are the most ticklish person on the planet, I swear. It’s kinda good that England isn’t actively trying to conquer the world anymore. You’d be kidnapped for ransom and tortured into oblivion the moment the enemy found out how ticklish you are.” 

“A-Alex!” Henry pleads. Alex knows Henry gets more sensitive the more Alex teases him with words. 

“I know that’s how royals were punished back in the medieval period,” Alex continues. “They’d tie up princes and princess, and fucking tickle the shit out of them. Sometimes, guards were told to put honey on the feet of royals and have goats lick them off.” 

“Shut the fuhuhuck uhup!” Henry whines through his laughter. Henry has caught Alex’s hands, but all the prince does is hold onto his boyfriend's wrists. Alex is now lightly stroking at Henry’s hips, scrabbling his fingers along the hip bones every other downward stroke. 

“Maybe we could get the queen to start that shit up again! She’s still super pissed you’re gay; I’m sure she’d loooooove to have someone punish you.” 

Henry turns redder if that’s even possible. Alex knows that Henry’s thinking about it, though. Henry’s thinking about being tied up and helpless while being tickled. 

“Do you like that thought, baby?” Alex asks. 

Henry shakes his head, but doesn’t say anything. Alex reaches behind himself and strokes at Henry’s thighs again. He loves the feeling of the twitching muscles, firm from years of Polo. Henry kicks out his legs as Alex switches back to scrabbling his fingers all over Henry’s pelvis and hips. 

“They’d call me Katniss because I would volunteer as tribute to be your tickle torturer.” 

“Y-You alreheheady ARE!” Henry shouts as Alex digs his thumbs into each of Henry’s hip divots. 

“Yeah, but it’d be an official title!” Alex crows. “First Son of the United States slash His Royal Horniness’ Official Tickle Monster!”

“You’re incorrhorrigible!” 

“I’d never go easy on you either. It’s hips and thighs immediately, right out the gate,” explains Alex. “I’d move on to your ribs next, then your back. That spot near your kidneys? Yeah, you forget that spot a lot, but I don’t.” 

“Alex, please!” 

Alex ignores the please and runs his fingers up Henry’s ribs. Henry lets out a high-pitched squeal, causing Alex to laugh loudly himself . 

“Now that was an adorable sound. Can you do it again?” 

“Why dohoho you n-never stohop tahahalking?!” Henry is starting to really lose it. Alex has been tickling him nonstop for close to ten minutes now. Henry’s face, chest, and legs are red, from blushing and the devastating effects of Alex’s fingers. 

“Everyone loves to hear me talk.” 

“I swehehear, I will get you bahahack!” Henry promises, giggling. Alex has slowed his fingers to nonsensical patterns on Henry’s stomach, allowing the prince to breathe. 

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” Alex winks at him. 

Henry shoves at Alex’s shoulder. Alex falls dramatically, but not before scrabbling his fingers across Henry’s thighs once more. 

“Stahap!” Henry rolls in on himself. 

Alex laughs as he stands up, offering a hand to Henry. 

“Piss off.” Henry tells him, swatting his hand away and standing on his own. 

“Don’t be mad, baby.” 

Henry blushes again. 

“Every time.” Alex grins. 

“Fuck you.” Henry retorts, a silly grin still on his face. 

“Any time, Your Royal Highness.”

[zhansww]

The first ~28 episodes of War of Faith are so good. So fucking good. And definitely recommendable. But the drop in the quality of the writing after that is... jarring. The pacing runs wild, the plot gets ridiculously contrived and a good character turns evil for no reason. Basically, the best way I’d recommend this show is to watch until about episode 28 and after that, just skip to the finale. Spare yourself all the nonsense in between. Although I will say that the character of Wei Ruolai, at least, stayed pretty consistent and mostly well-written until the very end. He’s easily become my favorite of all the characters I’ve watched Yibo play. Oh and there is definitely potential for a second season. As long as it has the same quality as the first two acts of season one, I would totally welcome it.

spoilers under the cut

As much as I appreciated what they did to redeem Tunan at the end, my biggest issue is that Tunan should not have turned evil in the first place. He shouldn’t have fucking needed redemption. It (still) makes no sense. And it’s the worst mistake of the third act. I could literally condone anything else. The fact that Tunan turns into a warlord, even though he is banker. The fact that everyone suddenly knows how to wield guns and fight. The ridiculous plot armor for certain characters and how conveniently important things constantly happen at the same time. Like, I’m fine with all that. But changing characters to move the plot in a certain direction instead of having characters move the plot naturally... that’s where I draw the line. And I know what they did it for. To make it more angsty. To make us, viewers, feel some type of way. But nope, the only thing bad writing makes me feel is annoyance.

Even if I take my shipping glasses off for a moment, I think it’s safe to say that Tunan and Ruolai are the heart and soul of this story. Heck, this show literally starts off with Ruolai, trying to get a place at Central Bank, where his beloved Tunan works. That’s what kicks off the entire story. Honestly, their relationship is gayer than the only canonically gay c drama I watched. And even though the third act is a mess, their relationship is still probably what I liked the most on this show. And I’m glad that they, somehow, got a sort of happy ending. I assume the implication in the end is that Tunan is the comrade Ruolai was supposed to meet... And since they’re finally (belatedly) on the same side again, they get to work together again, too. It’s a bit bittersweet but oh well. Better than if Tunan had died, at least. Ruolai has this really endearing and whole-hearted devotion to Tunan. They very much have a master/servant dynamic at the beginning. But the more Ruolai grows into his own, the more he steps out of Tunan’s shadow and at the very end, they meet each other as equals. I really liked what Yibo himself said about their relationship, that they started as master and disciple but gradually came to consider each other family.

I’m really fucking glad that Yibo chose this role and that he played it the way that he did. I don’t even know how long it’s been since the last time I was this invested in a show (not counting the OP live action cuz I’ve been invested in the og for a decade lol) so I’m ultimately quite happy that I watched this which I wouldn’t have done if it weren’t for dd, tho. My man really chooses the best roles and his performances keep getting better. I’m super proud of him and to be his fan~

omg you guys did you know there are a bunch of secret stories about el-ahrairah and rabscuttle? and in these secret stories they're in love with each other? like there's literally one where prince rainbow tries to trick el-ahrairah with a doe but he chooses rabscuttle instead <3 <3 but oooof course nobody tells these stories, i wonder why

🥬 robinhain Follow

Hi! El-ahrairah expert here. While there are cases of queer lapine history being suppressed, these stories probably are either specific to one or two warrens (and therefore unlikely to be true), or outright fabrications. We have to remember that many stories about more recent heroic rabbits are told as El-ahrairah stories, and that rabbits, even the ones you might agree with, are prone to using El-ahrairah to make a particular point. Generally, we know if a story is really about El-ahrairah based on how widespread it is---the doe story above isn't even connected to a warren, but a hutch. If you're interested in a cool queer rabbit from history, might I suggest Anemone-rah?

reminder!!! all hutch rabbits are valid!!! if you choose to keep living in a hutch because your family and friends are there that's awesome!!! if you choose to stay in the hutch because it's safer and you get garden food you rock!!! if you like being pet by humans you're so cool!! and if you leave the hutch to join a warren or be a hlessi that's so valid and i'm proud of you for making such a big choice!! hutch rabbits ilu never let somebody get you down for it <3

🐇 narnhlessi Follow

see this is how far we've fallen. living in a hutch is unnatural and completely degrades all of your instincts. have you ever heard a hutch rabbit speaking proper lapine? no, you haven't, they're better at talking to cats. they stink like humans, too, and all the cabbage in the world wouldn't make me live in a hutch. but hutch rabbits that leave to join warrens are so much worse, and drag the entire warren down with them. all your "hutch rabbit positivity" posts don't mean hraka when they bring us dogs and white blindness.

oh so now the woundwort defender is going to preach to us about why living in a hutch is bad

[dykefaggotry]

not sure how much traction this will get but! I just got top surgery friday and here's a short list of things I either wish I was told or wish was talked about more that might help some others!

you have to be so so so careful with what meds you take in the month/weeks leading up to surgery. I fucked up and got mine delayed by over a month because my adhd mixed up ibuprofen and tylenol. check the packet they give you a million times and if you're unsure about absolutely anything, ask. but in general: tylenol is the only pain med that's okay to take in the week leading up to surgery. be honest about alcohol/drug use because there's specific instructions for those as well.

a lot of insurances will need you to make sure it's coded as gender affirming surgery rather than plastic surgery or they won't cover as much of it. make sure you ask your insurance if there's anything like that that might screw you over later.

if you have a chronic condition like I do (type 1 diabetes) you and your surgeon might find it best if you stay overnight. if not, you'll likely be sent home day of so make sure you have a responsible adult that can drive you to and from your surgery.

if you are fat, that is totally okay and there's plenty of surgeons that will work with you. however, make sure your surgeon/hospital doesn't have a bmi/weight limit. it's bullshit and completely unfair, but you may have to look elsewhere (I'm lucky and my surgeon was amazing about that). besides, they probably aren't very good at their job if they have that and you'll find better care with another surgeon anyway

speaking of being fat and getting top surgery, ofc it's all personal preference, but I'd really recommend considering leaving some fat on your chest. fat cis men have some fat on their chests and it's easy for it to look concave if your surgeon removes all the fat. discuss some options w your surgeon and look up post op pics of other fat people that have had top surgery to find stuff similar to what you're going for!

they are going to put you on strong pain meds after, probably oxycodone. if you have a history of addiction or a family history, be aware of that and talk to your doctor about other options if you would rather not take it. if you've never taken oxy before, nausea is a super common symptom so you can totally ask your doctor to prescribe you an anti nausea medication to take alongside it. it doesn't always 100% help so I would also recommend making sure you don't take it on an empty stomach.

honestly, for me the pain hasn't reached above a 6. everyone is different ofc but it's a very dull achey sort of pain. the worst parts, according to me and others I've known who've gotten top surgery, are: nausea, itching, fatigue, constipation, the drainage tubes tugging (and if you don't have gauze under them like I do, chafing), and for me I've started to get back pain from having to sleep sitting up

have a ton of pillows on hand because you're going to have to sleep sitting almost the entire way up on your back. it sucks.

have easy to open and grab snacks piled up! even if you have someone around to help you, sometimes you won't have an appetite for a whole meal and it's always nice to still be independent

speaking of constipation, invest in some milk of magnesia or ask for medication to be prescribed to help you with it. the anasthesia and oxy are gonna work together to make you miserable on that front.

drink plenty of water! make it fun w packets if you have to but your body just went through major trauma and you're going to need it

every surgeon/hospital has different instructions. I see a lot of these posts and they'll list certain things as total fact that are completely contradictory to what I've been told and what my boyfriend was told when he got his. this isn't to say either one is correct, but in general take these posts with a grain of salt and go with whatever your surgeon/hospital instructs you to do. especially as far as exercise, arm movement, showering, etc is concerned.

Your tags on my venn diagram post are gold and should be a fic.

LMAOOO not me forgetting y’all read my tags 😭 Look, your venn diagram is accurate af and I really hope you bless us with more. The world wants to see these talented men come together and team up on a project [or in my case, tag team me]. But hey, I support both scenarios. Your fic comment got me thinking “what if I actually wrote a fantasy, porn without plot one shot about them?” So then I attempted it [HEAVY on attempt because I haven’t written a fic before 🥲] But here goes nothing *gulps*. Hope you like it op! @scruffylookingpiratecaptain 💗 *deletes my entire account and moves across state lines afterwards* lol

“I want to fuck like we’re filming in the valley.”

**Warnings/ Disclaimers: NSFW, 18+, group sex, language, fiction [this is only intended to be fantasy], porn without plot**

We have a routine down. They stop by my apartment Friday night, fuck me, we eat together, and then they leave. Repeat. No cuddles. No pillow talk. No strings attached. No bullshit. Just straight fucking. I would be lying through my teeth if I said I didn’t develop feelings somewhere along the way for each and every one of them, but I’ll take that to my grave.

It wasn’t always like this.

It first started off with just Tenoch and I. We met one another through a drunk threesome one night after a friend’s birthday party. We instantly clicked and he quickly learned how to turn me on. The man could make me cum round after round till I forgot my first and last name. He knew all the right buttons to push and he got me hooked on him quickly. His dick game drove me insane and I hated that it admittedly elevated my standards for any man who was blessed to be entangled in my sheets. We became a casual “friends with benefits” type of a situation until one day he wanted to spice things up between us.

“Have you ever had sex with more than one guy at the same time?” He asks me out of the blue while we chill at a nearby cafe.

To my surprise, he wanted to add more guys to the mix. I wasn’t opposed to the idea but was honestly a little concerned at first.

“I want to watch other guys fuck you while I take part. That would be so fucking hot, you know? And I promise you would be safe, no funny business. I know these guys. They’re good guys, trust me. What do you think?”

Call me a whore. Lonely. Bored. A pick me. A girl with daddy issues. Some twenty-something big tit wide-eyed naive bitch finding intimacy in all the wrong places. Whatever. I could care less. I don’t need the judgement from my girlfriends, friends, family, or coworkers and I sure as hell don’t need it from you. The only thing that was running through my mind in that very moment was having an adventure and so I kept our little arrangement to myself. No one has to know.

I sipped my drink watching him over the rim of my cup. He met my gaze with those curious eyes of his like he was trying to read my mind. I looked down and smirked, finally swallowing.

“I’m in.”

*bzzzzz*

Like clockwork, Tenoch always came by my apartment first. I opened the door to the sight of this goober holding a pack of beers and striking a funny pose with damp curls. He must of showered before heading over because he smelled heavenly.

“Hey beautiful.” He kissed my forehead then waltzed right in, draping his stuff over a nearby chair.

We made small talk about his shit boss and how she underpays her staff. “And now she’s doing layoffs!” In this economy?? I crack open a couple of beers for us and hear the doorbell ring. “Tenoch, can you get that?” Diego and Oscar are here. Funny enough, they live in another apartment complex only a couple of streets down. What are the odds, right? Shockingly it’s not weird, but hopefully it stays that way.

Tenoch throws a movie on while I pop open a bag of chips Oscar brought over. Gael swings by next and as always, without fail, Pedro comes last. Hours later, I might add!

“Sorry for the delay guys, I had an emergency come up.”

We all boo him in unison while Tenoch throws a cheeto at his head.

“I don’t deserve this abuse! I promise I have a good excuse this time.” Pedro chuckles, dodging another chip successfully.

Yeah don’t feel bad for him. This fucker always has an “emergency”. He couldn’t be on time if his actual life depended on it.

“Blah blah blah. Just hurry up and sit down. You’re interrupting an important part of the movie dipshit. Mulan is meeting Mushu.” Oscar excitedly motions him over to the couch like we all haven’t seen this masterpiece 50+ times already.

I giggle and look around at everyone enjoying themselves. I have a lot of fun with them. I mean outside of our little scheduled orgy we got going on, I truly enjoy their companionship. I know they have my back and I have theirs. I wouldn’t dare be sappy and say this out loud but I love these guys and would do anything for them.

What’s wild to me is even though we have made this a routine by now, they still get shy around me before we start. No one wants to make me feel uncomfortable and I appreciate that more than they’ll ever know, but someone has to have the balls to make the first move. Thankfully, Diego does. He starts to massage the back of my neck while we all laugh at Mushu screaming “dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!” He looks over at me and notices me purr in approval. While his hand works out the kinks in my neck, he leans in and sensually kisses the side of my neck licking all the way up to my earlobe, catching it in between his teeth. He whispers sweet nothings in my ear about how gorgeous I am and how he can satisfy me better than any of these so called “men” here. I know it’s all for the fantasy factor but fuck does it turn me on. Only I can hear his ramblings and that gets me even hotter. He invades my personal space and breathes me in deep. I tilt my head and expose my throat to him like a cat on it’s back surrendering. Mark me, Diego. I start to squirm in my seat. I can feel my wetness already pooling in my panties.

My whimpers play over the movie and Oscar proceeds to join in on the fun. He directs my attention towards him and softly cups my cheek before going in for a blistering kiss. I close my eyes and let him lick into my mouth greedily. I surrender to his demanding touch while Diego starts to leave a trail of hickeys from my neck down to my clavicle.

Gael gets up from the other side of the couch and kneels down in front of me. He carefully unties my shoes and slips off my socks. He starts to caress my legs and massage my feet, looking up at me with heat behind his eyes. I watch his eyes shift to peek underneath my skirt. I’m trying to get friction to my clit by grinding my thighs together but Gael holds my legs in place with a strong grip. He then slides his hands slowly up my thighs till he gets to his destination. He hooks his finger over the top of my lingerie and brings them down one inch at a time, leaving a trail of hot kisses along the way.

I shutter as the air immediately exposes my wetness, revealing my sweet arousal. Gael finally slips my panties off and takes in its dampness. Oscar distracts me by gliding his hand over my breasts till he settles on my neck, roughly gripping my throat while he licks up into my ear.

I yelp.

“Be gentle.” Tenoch possessively asserts while he comes over and starts to pull his shirt over his head, exposing his happy trail and tattoo.

“Calm down. I’m only doing what the slut likes.” Oscar counters, looking over at Tenoch with a challenging stare before directing his sexual frustration back to me.

“Isn’t that right, baby? I want to hear you beg for Daddy.” He taunts while I make eye contact with him through submissive eyes. I’m thoroughly turned on right now and he knows it. Oscar’s tight grip on my neck is sending me over the edge and I want more. I need more. His authority is sending waves of pleasure through out my entire body and my hair raises on my arms. My pierced nipples start to harden and peak through my shirt and a wave of desire goes straight to my cunt.

Diego ceases to kiss my shoulder and looks down at my pebbled flesh.

“Well, would you look at that. Our brat likes to be choked.”

Diego goes to undress my top half and unclasps my bra with a swiftness. My breasts spill out of their cups one by one and he fondles one nipple as he laps up the other in his mouth eagerly. My breath hitches. I bite my lip, holding in a strangled noise.

Pedro moves over to my line of vision and begins to unbotton his pants in front of me, giving me a show. He starts touching himself as we lock eyes and creates a mess in his jeans. He whips out his exuding member and I shamelessly stare, taking in all of its glory. He watches me watch him and delights in the attention. This fucker.

“You like what you see, sweetheart? It’s all yours, just be a good girl and open your mouth wide for me.”

I love it when he calls me his good girl and tells me what to do. He doesn’t repeat himself twice. Ever. Whatever Pedro wants, Pedro gets. I pay the consequence if I misbehave. But God, do I love misbehaving.

I don’t budge one inch and go to kiss Oscar, dismissing Pedro’s very existence. That sets him off. Mission accomplished.

“Alright, play times over Princess.” he snarls.

Pedro yanks me away from Diego and Oscar by my hair and forces me forward to the edge of the couch, bringing me at eye level with his hardened cock. He holds my head firm in place as he steadily rubs his throbbing wood over my lips, painting them with his pre-cum. His breath goes ragged and his composure quickly diminishes. He wants this badly, but so do I. Pedro shoves his dick past my lips to the back of my throat without warning and I can see his pupils blow from his dominance over me. He tastes like sea salt and musk. I bring my hands up to grip his shaft and brace myself on his waist, sliding back and forth. He’s rough with me and forces me all the way down till my nose touches his pubes. I gag and my eyes starts to water. He finally releases his grip on me, and I exhale and spit on his dick. I go in for seconds and savor the taste, licking circles around his sensitive tip.

“Ah, just like that.” He affirms, letting his head fall back.

Everyone moves to claim a piece of my flesh to grab, squeeze, suck or fuck. I aspire to be their personal fuck toy to use and abuse for their own selfish gain. Is that too much to ask for?

Oscar repositions me on the couch so that I’m flat on my back as I resume sucking Pedro off. He pushes my skirt up out of the way and coats his fingers with saliva. He begins to slick up my folds, steadily working his way into my tight entrance. “Look at you.” He coos. He kneels down and without hesitation shoves his face into my juices and begins to devour me whole. He licks a line from my tight asshole to my sopping pussy lips and engulfs my clit with his large tongue. He hums around it, sending a wave of vibration to my core.

I loudly moan with Pedro’s penis down my throat, generating a low growl from him. I take him out of my mouth and start to plead as Oscar relentlessly works my sensitive clit with no sign of letting up. He sets my body aflame with little to no effort and it’s truly diabolical.

Tenoch comes to my side and begins to gently massage my breasts, bending down and taking one nipple in his mouth while he jerks himself off. Oscar prys my legs open to stop me from squirming. The overwhelming sensation of his scruff on my bundle of nerves is killing me and the mix of pain and pleasure is intoxicating. Gael grabs my calf and begins to suck my toes, one by one while touching himself. He closes his eyes and takes his time savoring them greedily. He sucks and sucks like he’s making love to them and perverted noises start to fill up the room. My body riddles with ecstasy and the heat in my lower belly grows.

Diego squeezes some lube on his hand and continues to jerk himself off while watching this provocative scene unfold in front of him. He comes over to my side and replaces his hand with mine on his leaking erection. I slowly jerk him off while not breaking eye contact with him.

I can feel my arousal taking over. My brain is having trouble functioning and focusing on one particular thing at once. I am incoherent. I know I definitely heard my phone go off three separate times by now. Mulan is already beating Shan Yu’s ass on the roof. My AC unit turned off about an hour ago and it’s hot as shit in here. But none of these distractions matter to me right now. My ears tune into the sweet symphony of their joint moans and hisses, while I witness their hungry eyes fixate on me, mouths slightly parted in a fucked out bliss. The air is thick with sweat, sex and sin.

I come to and feel Oscar between my legs as I jerk Diego off with purpose while Pedro tilts my head towards him and fucks into my mouth, panting with each thrust. I create a tight vacuum, swallowing him with intense suction that my lips create a *pop* sound when I let go. He curses under his breath in satisfaction.

Tenoch breaks things up and takes control. He grabs hold of me and tears me away from everyone’s touch. He picks me up with one arm and lays back on the couch’s sweaty surface before positioning me on top of him. I straddle his waist and lean down for a kiss, exchanging fluids in a raunchy french kiss. He matches my energy and sucks on my tongue. Fuck, he’s such a freak. We continue to make out as he reaches over my ass and rubs my entrance in a circular motion, slowly dragging his thick digits along my folds. Tenoch replaces his fingers with his slick dick and coats his penis in my juices before tapping himself on my clit. Oscar prepared me for the taking and Tenoch is about to have his way with me. His thick cock promptly slides right into my walls and we moan in each other’s mouths. I’m convinced my vagina was made to please him. I try and adjust to his thickness, slowly making room for his size. My greedy cunt eventually swallows him whole. He gasps in approval. I dig my nails into his big chest as I begin to ride him, throwing my head back. Oscar promptly grabs my neck from behind and whispers nasty shit in my ear while I take Tenoch’s cock like a good girl. Tenoch holds onto my waist with a bruising grip, displaying his possessiveness over me. He sits up on one elbow and sucks my sensitive nipples, playing with my piercing with his tongue in a circle motion. My cunt flutters around him, making him buck.

Goosebumps break out all over my skin as a chill runs down my spine. I whine loudly, succumbing to my pleasure in waves. The sounds of Tenoch’s dick slamming into my tight hole as my ass cheeks hit his pelvis is delicious and it makes me wetter each thrust. He’s giving it to me so good right now but Oscar decides to test how much I can truly take at once.

He cups my ass and halts my bouncing. Tenoch’s member slowly slides out. He grabs my cheeks and spreads me wide, admiring the stretch of my asshole and vagina with his tight grip. Oscar leans in and dips his tongue in and out of both holes, indulging in my natural taste. He pulls back and spits on my tight asshole. He sucks his thumb first before bringing his slick finger to my hole, spreading his spit in a circular motion. Oscar deepens the pressure until his thumb successfully slides in.

A raspy moan leaves my lips and I cry out.

“Mmmm I know baby, I know. Daddy knows what to do.“ He confidently mutters between pants. He’s so turned on right now.

He spits on his pointer and middle finger next, slipping in two digits and stretching me out. His calculated process is driving me crazy and my thighs tremble around Tenoch’s waist. I gasp and stop sucking and jerking off Pedro and Diego, focusing on my breathing.

“Don’t be greedy Oscar, there’s enough of her to go around.” Tenoch gripes, assisting in spreading my cheeks to give Oscar better access. I whimper in anticipation.

Oscar continues to work open my hole with a squirt of lube, fucking me with his fingers until he deems I’m ready for his thick shaft. I grow impatient.

“Ah…f-fuck me Oscar, please. I need you!”

Pedro starts to laugh.

“Stop playing with your food Oscar. The lady is getting tired of you.”

“I thought you like when Daddy plays with you, baby.” Oscar taunts before spontaneously slapping both of my ass cheeks one by one, again and again and again. Left. Right. Left. Right. He spanks me so hard that the pain becomes unbearable. Tenoch proceeds to choke me, holding my neck in place. I scream but no sound comes out. My voice is hoarse from sucking and fucking. Gael ducks down and starts to suck on my nipple while twisting the other between two fingers, playing with its jewelry.

Once he deems me ready, Oscar takes his throbbing wood in hand and aligns his coated head with my stretched hole. He grabs some lube one last time, lathers me up and slides in. He takes his time to make sure he doesn’t hurt me but I want it now. He relishes in my tightness and cusses under his breath. Tenoch licks his fingers and lubricates my pussy with his saliva before re-entering me. My eyes roll back with the overstimulation of being filled to the brim. They start to move together in unison and I resume bouncing on both Tenoch’s and Oscar’s dicks together. Oscar looks down, watching himself go in and out of my ass, cheeks bouncing back on his pelvis and jiggling. He bites his lip from the glorious sight.

“Fuck y-your so tight…ah-“ They both rant together.

Sounds of skin slapping skin echo throughout my entire apartment and Oscar steadily grips my shoulder while Tenoch grabs my waist. I feel like I am being split in two as my holes stretch and adjust to being double penetrated. A bitch is on cloud nine and I can barely string two sentences together. They are deep in my guts and I think I’m going to black out from the overwhelming sensation. This is a ride I never want to get off of. Tenoch picks up the pace and fucks up into me with no mercy while Oscar follows suit. He looks determined, sweat dripping down his forehead. Tenoch gawks at my bouncing breasts in his face, matching the fast pace. He reaches down and thumbs my clit.

My orgasm is on the rise and I can feel my climax is near.

“Daddy, I’m….I’m close!” I moan.

Gael lets go of my breast and runs to grab my vibrator from my bedroom. He turns it to the setting I like and places it close to Tenoch’s groan so that it’s touching my clit at the right angle. He looks up at me as my mouth falls open. I’m slowly becoming undone and can’t hold on any longer.

Diego makes the split decision to get up on the couch and position himself in line to face fuck me. He holds my hair as I bounce and proceeds to have his way with me. I moan around his dick as spit pools and drips down my chin. Pedro leans down and fondles a breast while biting one nipple just the way I like it.

It was truly a sight to see. A real group effort. The one group project where everybody wins. My question is why didn’t we think to film any of this and post it to porn sites world wide or only fans and make millions?? You should have seen us! We fucked like real professionals. I could see it now: “Sexy whore takes 5 big cocks like a champ” as the title. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, we would have probably ran into some copyright issues with Mulan playing in the background. The “A girl worth fighting for” song blasting at full volume was a nice touch though.

I feel myself choking on his penis and Diego reminds me to breath through my nostrils as he shoves my head forward. He yanks me off of his dick to give me a second to breath and a string of saliva connects from my lips to his tip. He slaps me a bit and roughly grabs my cheeks. Diego leans in for a sloppy kiss and purrs “that’s my fucking slut.” He’s genuinely proud of me.

“Now suck!” He demands and plunges back into my mouth without any hesitation. He’s pumping me so fucking good while his thrusts start to become sporadic and his breath goes ragged. I know he’s close. He slips his throbbing dick out of my mouth and readjusts so that I give his neglected balls some lovin. He bites his lip in approval.

“I’m cumming…I’m cu-“ Tenoch goes silent as he spills his hot seed deep into my swollen pussy. My vagina pulses around him as I feel him paint my walls. I shake involuntarily as he comes down off of his high. His dick slides out of me and goes limp, while his seed leaks down my thigh. He lays there catching his breath as everyone continues to use me for their own satisfaction. He watches me bounce on top of him as Oscar continues to pound me from behind.

I quickly follow suit and climax hard, squirting all over Tenoch with Oscar deep in my ass, Pedro sucking my nipple rings hard, Gael rubbing my clit with my vibrator on high and Diego stuffing his balls in my mouth.

Everyone let’s go of me for a second as I buckle and grip Tenoch’s chest before completely collapsing on top of him. All of my energy leaves my body. He catches me in his arms and caresses my back, making sure I’m okay. He kisses my forehead and I feel his chest rise and fall.

Once my breath evens out, I look up and see everyone staring at me with concern. The Mulan end credits continue to roll on the TV. I sheepishly look around and immediately get shy in front of them for the first time.

“So…..round two?”

[bookofmirth]

I was wondering if you would be willing to take on an analysis of Cassian and Nesta’s relationship. I’m a sucker for romance and when I first read acosf I was so excited and happy for all the nessian although there were parts I felt so angry with Cassian because I felt were extremely unnecessary, like making Nesta carry a heavy pack all while not noticing her dehydration, telling her he’s shackled and not getting a decent reconciliation, to name a few. I feel like the story has this imbalance between the two characters because everyone already sees Cassian as this funny, mistreated by society, handsome huge cuddle bear in Feyre’s pov and we see Nesta as this unnecessary asshole in her pov. That, paired with Nesta’s self loathing, is why I can see why some readers are led to believe Nesta is awful to Cassian and might even go as far as agree that she needs to be worthy of him (which is why I have feelings about Mor who is an NC leader and one of her job titles is to help abused women but that’s another topic) then to read it explicitly in Nesta’s pov at the ending of acosf is what made me abandon the ship almost completely. which is a problem because we’ve agreed in previous posts just as Nesta’s pov is subjective by that same logic so is Feyre’s.

I loved reading your thoughts about Nesta and her father since that also didn’t make sense to me. I always figured Nesta’s trauma stemmed from the matriarchal side of her family and it’s helping me come to a certain understanding. I was just hoping maybe your perspective might give nessian a fresh angle I’m missing.

Hello! I will do my best. I assume we probably won't agree 100% but I am very much in the mood to lend some nuance to Nesta's character since the fandom is either intensely anti her or pro her, and both stances distort her character (and tbh some of the takes I've seen COMPLETELY missed the point of her entire character and of acosf, not to mention they are super vitriolic and antagonistic towards other people in the fandom. Calm the fuck down, y'all. No you op, just... the fandom.)

I take nessian as being a very different type of ship than any of sjm's others. Her other ships have tension that usually stops short of cruelty, but nessian are very aggressive as a couple and that energy turns antagonistic sometimes. Their dynamic is what made sjm make them mates, because Nesta is a force to be reckoned with and Cassian is not only strong enough to be with her and give it back, but he doesn't turn away from her either, when so many people in her life have stopped trying (Amren, Elain, Feyre to an extent).

I put the rest of this under the cut because it got very long!

Honestly, it confuses me when people get mad at Cassian for being mean to Nesta because that street goes both ways. They both say horrible things to each other that they know will wound, though Nesta does it first and more often. She calls him a brute and a bastard, when we know that that's one of his major insecurities. And this starts in Wings and Embers!

Her brows flattened. “Leader of the High Lord’s armies, and yet the brute remains. You cannot cow me with words, so you seek to intimidate me through your hulking size.”

Rhys, Az, and Cassian all call each other bastards on occasion but with them it's Bastard (affectionate). When Nesta calls Cassian a bastard/brute, she does it à la Beron and Eris. I honestly can't include all the times that she insults him that way. He lets it go at first, but then we know that, in his POV, this is actually an insult that gets under his skin and something he thinks about himself - much in the same way that Nesta thinks negative things about herself:

They were all staring. Cassian rolled his tensed shoulders, stretching out his wings. He’d revealed too much. Like a stupid brute, he’d let them all see too much, learn too much.

And someone else who uses that against him is Eris:

Cassian clenched his jaw. “So you’re to be my ally whether I wish it or not?” “The brute understands at last.” Cassian ignored the barb.

“It’s the ugliness of his fucking soul that riles me. I don’t care if he calls me a mongrel bastard.” Eris had called him such things today, she realized. Rage rippled through her. “It’s just that, ally or not, I hate him. He’s so slick and unruffled and … I can’t stand him.” He set down his fork and stared toward the window behind her. “Eris and his twisted word games and politics are an enemy I don’t know how to handle. Every time I meet with him, I feel like he’s got the upper hand. Like I can only catch up to him, and he sees through my every fumbling attempt at being clever. Maybe that makes me a stupid brute after all.”

And it's ironic to me that Nesta gets angry at how Eris insulted Cassian in that way, because she has done the exact same thing. So she knows that her blows are landing. In fact, that's why she does it. Nesta has identified a weakness and exploits it in order to push Cassian away, so I'm not surprised that it worked and he snaps. That's the reaction she's going for and that's the kind of behavior she needs to change because she's constantly pushing people away and then getting angry/sad when they leave.

The reason that I am emphasizing the things that Nesta has done here is not to say any of this is her fault, but that they both dish it out, and if we read the whole scenes, it usually starts with Nesta because that's just where she's at in her life right now. I dislike the arguments that because Cassian is older, he should know better or whatever, because 1) Nesta is an adult, and 2) as an Elder Millennial lol I know that age doesn't mean anything when it comes to maturity. In fact, I've lost my fucks with increasing frequency over the past few years. I know 20 year olds who are more mature than 40 year olds. It's just not that simple!

To go back to my initial point about their relationship, I think that even once the intention to harm is gone, now that some reconciliation has happened and they accept the mating bond, they will continue to be that aggressive couple. Feysand are leaders, nessian are warriors, and in the future I see elucien as co-conspirators and gwynriel as competitors. Nesta and Cassian both fight for what they care about, in the literal fighting sense, so it seems natural that that bleeds into their relationship a bit when they are still butting heads and trying to figure out how they work.

There are a couple of things you pointed out that I've noticed other people mention, so I wanted to discuss them!

like making Nesta carry a heavy pack all while not noticing her dehydration

I personally don't have an issue with the hike as a whole (I have another ask where I'll touch on it), but I did read this thing where Nesta passed out from dehydration as being both of their faults. Cassian just isn't paying attention, he forgets that Nesta isn't a hundreds of years old Illyrian tough guy and she *had barely gotten to the bottom of the stairs at the HoW (edit because I forgot she did that just before these shenanigans). Nesta is a grown adult, he's not her babysitter, she could have said something but instead she just suffered. (I wonder if that was also in line with her self-destructive behavior in acofas?) They're basically both being dumb here.

telling her he’s shackled

While he is doing this to hurt Nesta in that scene, all of the acotar mates thus far have said that about their mate. Lucien said it about Elain and Rhys about Feyre, though theirs were in more self-deprecating ways. To me, it just goes back to the push and pull that Nesta and Cassian have. I think the conflict in that scene is that they are essentially talking about two different things - for Cassian, Nesta rejecting the mating bond is her rejecting him. But for Nesta, the mating bond has nothing to do with Cassian and everything to do with her lost humanity. Cassian is taking her reaction personally (and why wouldn't he, when she has spent so much time picking at his insecurities?) and she is thinking of how the Cauldron and being Made affected her (and why wouldn't she, when she is still grappling with her trauma?) They are basically both thinking of themselves! And not considering how the other one feels.

and not getting a decent reconciliation

I think *fingers crossed* that we will see them in a much better place in future books. SJM said that Nesta's story will continue, so I'm just going to be optimistic here. Since the narration won't follow either of their perspectives anymore (we assume) we probably won't get an in-depth exploration of it. In fact, I was surprised when I got towards the end of acosf that I only had 30 more pages because I knew that so much still needed to happen. The end was very rushed but that's a whole different issue 😂

I am curious what you think of them after this! They aren't my favorite acotar ship; that's reserved for feysand and elucien, at least in canon. But I really love Cassian's character for his combination of strength and vulnerability, and Nesta is probably the most complex and interesting thus far, so I enjoy them from that standpoint.

Brendan Hunt’s Post-Finale Reddit AMA (Part 1)

Because I have seen a lot of one-off screenshots and vagueblogging about this, but no compilation post, I figured I would compile all the canon-important questions Brendan Hunt answered in his Reddit AMA this afternoon, along with some light commentary. (If you want to look through the entire thing yourself, you can find it here:)

Let’s start with a big clarification a lot of people asked for and he answered twice: was the end montage a dream?

Tl;dr according to the writers, none of it was a dream. (Also RIP that book list, I’ve been curious about this before and tried to pull a full list from screenshots but I think we only see 3-4 of the books 😩)

On Beard & Jane.

So this is all very… YIKES 😬😬😬 (Except for the bit about Roy & Keeley, which honestly mostly feels like a non-answer other than “Roy needs to go to therapy” which: lol no kidding.)

On Ted & Rebecca.

Although I don't particularly ship Ted & Rebecca (tho I'm not against it either, I'm neutral in that ship war!) I understand why y'all are mad about these answers. The last one in particular feels like a retcon-y denial of some deliberate writing choices they made, whether or not they ever seriously considered having them actually end up together.

On Ted's Ending.

As someone whose largest problem with the finale (aside from the glaring Beard & Jane Of It All) can be summarized as "Major Issues With Ted's Everything," I'm gonna go ahead and chalk this up to just a major writing fumble, essentially. If people are asking this many questions about it, you needed to spell more of this out onscreen. Half of these questions could've been answered by having Ted actually have a real conversation with Rebecca in the stands instead of fucking SILENCE.

On Ted & Beard.

I mean, other than the drugs question (which is a very valid answer)...I guess?? Feels unsatisfyingly realistic to Actual Adulthood to me, personally, but sure, I guess.

On Dr. Jacob.

I am nothing but a disabled paralegal with Google, and it took me less than five minutes to locate KAR 102-5-12. Unprofessional conduct for Marriage & Family Therapists in Kansas:

(26) making sexual advances toward, engaging in physical intimacies or sexual activities with, or exercising undue influence over any person who, within the past 24 months, has been one's client; (27) exercising undue influence over any client, student, or supervisee, including promoting sales of services or goods, in a manner that will exploit the client, student, or supervisee for the financial gain, personal gratification, or advantage of oneself or a third party;

(All emphasis mine.) So... we'll fall back on that "suspension of disbelief" for fiction, I guess?? Because he clearly violated (26) with Michelle and (27) with Ted.

On Roy, Keeley, & Jamie.

That fight and Roy doing "work on himself" absolutely could have happened earlier in the season, but... sure! I guess! (If I'm being charitable, I might say that he misunderstood the poly triad question since the OP worded it as a "triangle relationship" rather than actually using the words "polyamory" or "non-monogamy" but. He very well may have understood but just ignored that part of it! Who knows.)

1000% everyone should support the writers strike though, obvs.

(Continued in Part 2 since this is so fuckin long!)

Smut, Ramas pissed: no one believes his Sita is the best! It's not his fault his wife is still not being able to be summoned despite his numerous attempts! So, in order to right this wrong, he obviously has to crossdress as his beloved and give the sloppiest head to anyone that asks

Smut, tsuna has always wanted to try out somnophilia. it takes a bit of convincing but kintoki is a loving boyfriend and eventually gives in to him. does it go how tsuna imagined???

This is gonna be so obvious LMAO, but I'd love to see anyone's take on feeder!Helena and feedee!Holmes, anything along those lines!

After some time, Kriemhild has accepted that her adopted son Schmidt has started dating and invites them over for family dinner. What she didn't expect is for him to show up with two people, both of whom seem to be bad influences on her son (Sieg×AstolfoxJeanne trouphle but honestly it can be anyone)

Any fandom

due to servants like Paul Bunyan, we know that a character doesn't have to actually exist to be summonable by the holy grail. They just need to have a large body of broadly accepted myths about them. Even if the character is one people know is complete fiction, if there's enough stories about them, it is possible to summon them. Ergo, I want to see what happens in a hypothetical Holy Grail War where some dumbass summons Superman.

Smut, I am in desperate need for maid girls getting bred by other girls, which part of the nasuverse you do is your call, though I'm more familiar with the Fate side of things.

Yknow what, we need more character/reader first, idc if they're sweet or smutty or downright nasty

I wanna see the crackficiest crackfic you can dream up out of the Nasuverse. Like aim for the level of Grinch/Tony the Tiger. The less there is to back up the pairing in canon, the better. Only rule: once you pick your pairing, do it entirely seriously. It can be fucked up or wholesome, you just have to treat it seriously.

The Boys are having a bbq and kintoki is making the extra effort to make mandricardo feel included and comfortable. What kintoki doesn't realise is that he's getting a little too touchy-feely with mandy, who now has to juggle his social anxiety with his growing desire to fuck this gorgeous hunk of a himbo

[tazzykiki]

I Adore Earthspark So So Much <3

Okay so I watched all episodes of Earthspark and AAAAAAA it's so good and I love it sooooooo much. It's everything I wanted for it and MORE(major spoilers ahead):

-The animation is AMAZING. I love the mix of 3D characters and background with all the special effects being in 2D. It's such an odd but cool style.

-I love the way the characters are animated, their motions are sooooo good and are on par with TFP's in that every character moves in their own way. Such as Twitch's fan-thingies wiggling when she's excited(which is super cute). As well as the action being so exciting and impactful hhhhhh I love it SO MUCH. That scene when Skywarp and Nova Storm attacked was SO GOOD. I love it when we get to see the human perspective and sheer scale of these fights, it's so cool and terrifying.

-I adore the human aspect and how well it's portrayed. I love them being this big loving family that all have each other's backs. And I LOVE how instantly Twitch and Thrash are part of this family and are immediately referred to as siblings and Dot & Alex's kids.

-Also one of my fave things is how the Decepticons are treated. I love them as villains but I also love the nuance presented that we honestly don't get that much in the shows. I love that multiple times there's a point in talking about how they're treated, why they do what they do, and that they aren't mindlessly evil and that they deserve to be seen as any other cybertronian.

-I love that that's also a major conflict. We get a hint at it in the first ep with the super amazing G1-style recounting in which the story is so superficial and watered down that even the characters themselves question it. And then we even have this disagreement between Optimus and Megatron, not only showing their different outlooks and way of thinking but how imperfect everything is(especially with GHOST trying to convince everyone everything is fine). I love that that discussion doesn't villainize either of them. OP doing what he has to do even if he doesn't fully trust it because he just wants to keep everyone safe and Megatron not wanting to sacrifice freedom and instead TAKE ACTION even if it'll result in having to fight. Which is SO THEM.

-I am also so intrigued about WHY Bumblebee is supposed to be dead and why GHOST can't know about him. WHAT HAPPENED I MUST KNOWWW.

-I love the diversity and how it's portrayed. I love Robby, Mo, and Dot having afro-textured hair. And the fact that Mo wears a bonnet and Robby a durag(I believe that's what it is, I'm manly familiar with women's afro hair care) when they sleep!!!! I don't think I've ever seen them in cartoons or at least not enough! Same goes for live action stuff that only ever uses them to make us look ghetto, ugh. But it made me so happy just seeing them casually wearing those items!!! Cuz I!!! Do!!! That!!!! And aaaaa, the way they portrayed Alex and his traditions??? I'm not familiar with them but god I love that they took the time to do that and build an entire episode off of it.

-And of course Nightshade!!!! FINALLY. They're fucking called Transformers for a reason shjdkflg. But in all seriousness, I'm so glad they were included. And I can't wait to see more of them. Cybertronians are like, practically built for gender expression and exploration??? Like I'm of the belief they just pick whatever frame and pronoun best fits them because there's really no reason for them to have the same outlook on gender and etc like humans do????? Especially being giant alien robots who reproduce by popping out of Primus' butthole.

-I also adore the music, especially the dubstep sounding theme that plays when Megatron first appears. Please I need like a 200 year loop of that please and thank you.

-I love the bots' designs so muchhhh. I tend to prefer the more sleek and humanoid designs so I love that they went with that while keeping some of the boxy, G1 style aspects. I love how colorful everyone is and the different styles they have.

-Arcee is sooooo pretty and has this super old and classic feel to her that I love so much???(Also her voice is AMAZING). I love that little metal grate thing on her midsection she has and just her overall look that sets her aside from all the others. OP's face looks like a car crash, but he's my dad so that's allowed. The rest of him is perfect and I love how big he and Megatron are. I love how Megs has this style that makes him look both friendly and intimidating. I'm pretty sure his shoulders are based off TFP megs shape-wise with the face(at least the 2D version seen in Dot's photo) being based off TFA's markings(or were those shadows, we will never know). Also Wheeljack's entire look is great. It's a bit hard to tell what's going on with his mouth but I love that they brought back the beard style he tends to have. Also his yeehaw voice is great, it's like an emphasis on his Cyberverse voice I love it so much.

-Also Papa Wheeljack owns my soul <3(who's gonna tell him he has 3 more kids now..?)

-Also also I love Bumblebee's design, mix of friend shape and badass which I love to see(def looks a lot like his Cyberverse style but with the vibes of G1 with the more matte styling). I also love his face so much, idk why it's just so great. Also love this dumbaft saying his "eyebrows don't look like that" when he doesn't even have any. Please get this bot a mirror.

-Speaking of no eyebrows....STORE BOUGHT ICE CREAM(starscream) HE'S HERE AND HE LOOKS GREAT AND HE'S FUCKING VOICED BY STEVE BLUM I'M GONNA LOSE IT AAAAAA

-Aligned Continuity took everyone's eyebrows, can't have shit in Earthspark.

-Also I love Frenzy's rockstar design so much. I wonder where Rumble is(idk too much about the cassettes yet but I do know those two are usually together).

-Also Skywarp and Nova Storm were so fucking badass. I loved the way they portrayed Skywarp's teleportation ability and even extended it to her being able to teleport items seperately(Could skywarp always do that???). I just love the seekers being so fucking badass which has me even more excited to see Stars Cream in action(also instead of null ray blasters were those blades on his arms???). And I hope we get to see most, if not the rest, of them!!! Manifesting Thundercracker and Buster rn.(and Sunstorm, please I want to see him and all of his batshitness)

-Soundwave was so badass. I'll admit, his design is kinda ehhh to me? Like he looks super badass and I'm lovin the funky hips, but idk he just doesn't hit like the others.

-Mandroid is also super fucking cool. His stolen arm is kinda meh and looks super awkward, but whatever Mr. Alone On a Friday Night you do you. He's like if Silas took a chill pill and didn't immediately steal everyone's kidneys and was like really really into Howl's Moving Castle. I'm super curious what else there is for him(cuz cmon he ain't dead) and what the backstory between him and Alex is since they were colleagues.

-Also love Dot's leg??? Like that was such a cool reveal it makes me wonder if there was any clue to it before that moment. I also just love her overall, how protective she is and how much of a great parent she is. I also love how close she is with Megatron?? I really wanna know how they became such close friends, which I assume has something to do with his ideals. Cuz she def seems more in line with his way of seeing things than OP. I guess she just likes how realistic he can be about things. But god I hope we get a flashback episode about those two.

-Also like last point because this is getting so long aghsdjkf but god I adore Twitch and Thrash. They are so adorable and so much fun to watch. I love their designs so much. I love how they're just straight up kids and are oh so very small(they're like the size of Megs and OP's forearm ahdjkf). I love Thrash's white and gold style and his super cool goggles(I'm a proud advocate of transformers with Accessories™). And Twitch's cool wing blade thingies she has. And just the overall thing of Twitch being the fighting type and Thrash being the defensive type. I hope the others have unique fighting styles, I can't wait to see their new designs.

-Also also Hashtag is the best name for a bot and whoever thought of it is a genius and I love them.

Anywayssss

Overall I just absolutely ADORE this show and everything about it. This isn't even all my thoughts. I love the wholesome and lighthearted found family aspect with the serious and darker undertones and nuanced storytelling. I love that Earthspark is giving us the characters we love but being so amazingly unique at the same time. I love the post-war aspect and the humans and bots aspect both combined. I love the animation and the music and the storytelling and the designs and the voices and just EVERYTHING. I love the lore of the 13 primes being brought in and the emotional beats and the mystical feeling it all has. I love the..just the EVERYTHING. And I'm sooooo excited to see more.

[depressed-teacup-inc]

The Kwamis are carrying this goddamn show

Hi, hello, how y’all doing, new episode but it was Halloween so I got the day off for myself ok?

Anyways I’m already seeing red flags in Passion and I don’t like it✨

So let’s start this by saying that in general this season feels very fan-servicey. I feel like after the complete absurdity that was season four and people being absolutely infuriated with the writing, the writers of miraculous scrambled to basically bring out as much fanfic-y tropes as possible to please the fandom (reversenlove square, weird completely unrealistic gadgets that shouldn’t even work, etc.) in general, I feel like miraculous got really derailed from what the original show could have been, and that they’re trying to do what should have been done so long ago so fast, that no everything feels… well really fucking sloppy I won’t lie.

But I digress, let me tell you why this connects to the episode while I review it

Natalie is fucking iconic, I love that bitch so much

Literally girl fought her entire life, and honestly I have no clue why she ever loved Gabriel, but at least now she’s realizing her worth and also beat the shit out of Gabriel, we’re all here for it.

(Also queen, love you, but you could’ve just stolen the butterfly miraculous and given it to ladybug to solve the problem, because this show be making her so OP that she would cure everything)

And speaking of Gabriel…

FUCKING CUNT I HATE YOU!!! FURST YOU TREAT YOUR SON LIKE SHIT, NOW YOURE COOKING PANCAKES OUT OF NOWHERE TO FEEL LIKE YOURE A GOOD FATHER (him saying they’re a family was giving the same energy of a boss saying the company is a family) AND WHEN NATALIE RIGHTFULLY CALLS YOU OUT, YOU BLACKMAIL HER WITH YOUR LIFE AND ADRIEN’S SO SHE’LL STAY BY YOUR SIDE?! BITCH!!!! TURNS OUT EVEN YOUR DEAD WIFE WAS AGAINST ALL OF THIS

Sorry had to get that out of my system, he will forever be a cunt and I’m afraid the show is trying to pretend he’s ok

Adrien actually had lots of screentime this episode, but… most of it is him being just in love with marinette or sad about Natalie (honestly his scenes with Natalie were worlds better then this love square mess)

Which… brings me to the reverse love square. listen. I know everyone is happy about the love square reversal and honestly, good for them, but this episode… kinda ruined it?

You see Adrien is now in love with Marinette because apparently she was always there for him and helped him through rough times? (I think that she more stalked him a lot, and just gave him half decent advice in the one episode where everyone else is dumbed down because LiLa, and at this point he should have had a restraining order on her, but ok!) which despite my opinions, I can accept. It makes sense that Adrien would fall in love with someone who is giving him the bare minimum because no one ever gives him the bare fucking minimum.

Meanwhile Marinette… basically fucking confirmed that she’s using chat noir the way she used Luka.

…I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD-

Everyone around this girl are like “yeah you always do this thing where whenever shit doesn’t go well with Adrien you’ll throw yourself on another person, telling yourself you love them when in reality you love how they are constantly serving and pleasing you” and she’s like “nah it’s ok I love him”

Like. Does this bitch have no sense of self awareness? After four seasons of constantly screaming, punching, mocking, humiliating and lying to chat (which btw I don’t think has ended, but that’s a story for another day), because now she has to kinda deal with the consequences of her actions (I say kinda because the entire thing with Gabe and the miraculouses has been minimized severely, with everyone always saying it’s fine and that she’ll fix it), she starts flirting and leading him on again, because she likes how now, after all the fighting, Chat Noir is just an assistant for her, that believes he’s completely worthless without her, and will constantly obey her whims.

And doesn’t she for a second realize how awful what she’s doing is? Like I don’t know about y’all but after what she did to chat Noir, the fact she’s using him like this is so messed up and she doesn’t even want to acknowledge it.

…THIS IS SO FUCKED UPPPP!!! Like this is literally confirming that she doesn’t love Chat Noir, she’s using him, AGAIN!!! And no offense girl, I don’t care how many times the show says shes in love with Adrien, she’s obsessed with him. Right now it’s just a temporary break from him like the one she had with Luka, before she goes back to him saying she’s in love with him.

…Luka and Chat should start a club at this fucking point.

Also speaking of, I saw what the show tried to pull this episode, on one side saying “here fandom look at this chat saved the day he’s the hero and ladybug’s the sidekick there you go” but also at the same time further emphasizing how OP the ladybug miraculous is and how no matter what, the cat follows the the ladybug leads which means that the show doesn’t screw chat noir over, no no, it’s just that the ladybug is the only right miraculous for any situation possible. Thanks I hate it.

But hey at least the Kwamis called it! Honestly Tikki and Plagg god bless, Adrien listen to your Kwami and eat cheese instead. They were honestly gems this episode, and were spitting facts and SOMEONE PAY THOSE LITTLE CUNTS FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS SHIT IN PERSON.

But yeah that’s the episode!

(Also the goat miraculous is fucking stupid, couldn’t Natalie have just created the locating arrows to track the heroes outside of their transformation too? SHE CAN CREATE ANYTHING GOD I HATE THIS)

Also Natalie is gay for Emilie goodnight

[thedawningofthehour]

We need to know more about that conversation!!!

It doesn't help that the last two chapters of the first season Splinter gives the guys matching uniforms, and then they act the way they do. Also is there's the mind meld thing, which was super cool and I don't understand why they didn't use it again, although again, I don't think they want to know all the time what's going on in each other's heads.

Truth be told, I'm a bit of a fan of those episodes in a series where we see everything from an outsider's perspective, usually with them misunderstanding that the main characters are the bad guys and the main characters try to stop/expose them. I can't think of many examples, but there's an episode of Trollhunters where the bully discovers that the MC hangs out with trolls, and through a misunderstanding thinks he's the master and is going to try to destroy the city, in the end he can't think of a better idea than to try to kill him.

As for Splinter running a cult. At one point in IDW Splinter ends up in charge of the Foot, which is basically a cult, And yes, he ends up doing some pretty questionable things.

I don't remember what chapter it was even on, but we were mainly talking about how Splinter did all these stereotypical cult things that highly religious parents do. Never going to the doctor, questionable homeschooling (by someone who isn't highly educated themselves), the weird outfits. Especially sketch considering the Hidden City was right there the entire time with universal healthcare and free elementary school. Honestly, I headcanon that like 1875746 Yokai saw Splints struggle-bugging his way through existence and parenthood and was like "he doesn't need to do that?? Why aren't his kids in school???"

Oh, the mind meld thing was super OP, they had to nix it or else the turtles would be overpowered for everything. Same reason they had to neutralize their ninpo at the beginning of the movie-if they didn't, they'd have won in ten minutes or it would be a constant "why don't they just do X?!!" Also that kind of thing is not really good for storytelling. Dialogue is so very fucking necessary for all sorts or reasons. Using dialogue between the characters instead of just mind melding lets the audience in on whatever they're planning, and gives the characters opportunities to show off personality and reinforce/expand on their relationships with each other.

I haven't read the comics, but isn't IDW Splinter kind of...terrible? That's the vibe I've gotten from other IDW references.

But honestly, I feel like Rise Splinter is weirdly the least morally questionable of the Splinters. He might have accidentally turned his family into a cult, but he had very good reasons for trying to hide his kids.

Weiss Kreuz Episode 14: Fliehen

When we left off, we were at the cliffhangeriest of cliffhangers - Aya was about to get stabbed through the face, while the rest of the team was in the process of losing a fight with multiple helicopters and rocket launchers. Persia was of the opinion that adding a man with a pointy stick would solve the second problem.

The episode would also like to remind us that Takatori did in fact murder Aya's family and Aya knows it. Also that Aya pierced his own ear with his sister's brand-new earring. Very metal of him. Oh, and that Aya has learned that Crawford is psychic.

Well, that's an ominous title for the episode, isn't it.

Weiss is pinned down not only by a helicopter but also multiple men in SUVs. They scatter, Ken managing to run just fine on that leg that was allegedly broken last episode. Meanwhile, Aya dodges at the last second. The high drama of the fight continues. Aya and Crawford have a fist-fight, which seems like a poor choice on Crawford's part.

Despite having multiple actual machine guns firing at them, somehow Omi is the only one who ends up with a bullet under his skin. Only one bullet, even. It's still not great. We get a dramatically silent moment as everyone stops firing while Omi twitches and concludes he can't move and is about to die.

Crawford finally gives us his team name, as Aya concludes that he cannot give up. Persia snatches Aya off the street, and Crawford makes the executive decision that they're just done with him now and don't need to chase him. Persia tells Aya that his buddies need his help, and Aya tells him to fuck off. Persia insists they go have a look-see at how shit's going and see if Aya still feels the same way.

The other three are still doing very poorly, although Yohji has managed to steal a jeep, run down three men shooting straight at him and missing entirely, and also light a cigarette while doing stunt driving. He thinks he could probably escape on his own, but that would make him an asshole, so he just drives straight into the machine gun fire. Predictably, bullets hit the engine and the windshield - but miss Yohji, how lucky for him - and he crashes.

Yohji is saved from the helicopter strike by a surface to air rocket; Ken has somehow managed to steal a missile launcher. He missed the helicopter, but did create a splendid distraction. He then discards the missile launcher, as his position has now been revealed, and manages to literally dodge bullets as he jumps into Yohji's crashed car that somehow still runs and shoves Yohji into the passenger seat. They're off to collect Omi and continue to manage not to collect bullets. Honestly, these special forces guys have the shittiest aim.

While stunt driving, Ken has an existential crisis about being a failure. He also dodges missiles. Persia also arrives on the scene, with Aya in the back seat, as we cut to a very dramatic shot of the upside down jeep and the rest of Weiss motionless on the ground. There is a literal firing squad lined up to take them out as Aya watches from Persia's back seat, which is the highest of drama.

What this does, of course, is set them all up to be mowed down by Aya's machine gun fire as he appears, standing on top of Persia's car. He grabs another machine gun and aims for the helicopter. Misses. Steals a jeep. And finally nails the helicopter with a rocket launcher. The rest of the special forces flee.

The sun rises over a badly injured Ken being supported by Omi, while Yohji hangs off Aya's shoulder. Persia and Manx know that the Real Battle must still be fought, but Persia is still police commissioner until Takatori can maneuver him out of the position and they aren't out of options yet. They drive off, leaving Weiss standing on the battlefield.

Let me pause for a second, because I honestly need to laugh hysterically at how goddamn OP Aya was in that scene. It is a Big Damn Hero moment - all of them except Omi, honestly, got a pretty decent Big Damn Hero moment - and while it was happening I was absolutely into it. The second I start thinking about it afterwards, it becomes completely absurd. To be fair, this more or less encapsulates the action film genre as a whole, so I can't really complain that the creative team is out of pocket here.

I do, however, want to know who the fuck taught Aya to fire a machine gun and a missile launcher.

MOVING ON. We have reached Election Day. Of course, Takatori has won. Because this is how drama works. Persia packs up his office (he also has that same picture, by the way, of his brother's family). Manx hurries him out of the office, and we cut to the flowershop. The only one there is Momoe, who looks at the SWAT team rushing into the building and gives them a pitch-perfect dotty old lady routine. The SWAT team heads for the basement, finding no one, and concludes that the four-story building is otherwise empty. They shoot up the walls of the basement for no good reason, and honestly, this kind of breaks my suspension of disbelief a little. There is paperwork for this and I know in my heart they're not doing it.

Continuing to move on, let me reiterate that it is Election Day. It's morning. The vote has been finalized, Takatori has been sworn into office, and he has fired his brother and publicly named him as the leader of the terrorist group Weiss. Shit is moving REAL FUCKING FAST. This also kind of breaks my suspension of disbelief. Takatori is starting his term of office with an apology for his brother's actions and mobilized his private army again.

Manx is surprised that shit is moving so quickly. This is literally the only reasonable reaction. We know damn good and well Takatori will move as quickly as he can, because that's what we've seen him do, but there should be structures in place that keep shit moving more slowly. Bureaucracy fucking exists, ok. She thinks they should head for Kritiker's Secret Hideout.

Their movements are hindered by the fact that Takatori has imposed martial law on all of Tokyo (!!!!!!! the fuck? THAT IS NOT HOW SHIT WORKS) in order to hunt down the alleged terrorists. Takatori also thinks now is a great time to get rid of Schwarz, who he accuses of being spies for Estset. He thinks he doesn't need them any more, as he has what he wants. Crawford is content to sit back and watch him fuck up.

We finally see where Weiss got off to, which is the sewers. They worry about Momoe, know (somehow? did he call them? Does someone still have a working cell phone?) that Persia and Manx are safe, and think that Japan is fucked. Also, all of them appear uninjured, in direct contradiction to the earlier scenes. (Aya was literally the only one who did not get shot at least once, ok, AND YET. Do they not have holes in them? Were they not in explosions? This shit fucks you up! There are CONSEQUENCES!! I know we have to do shit in the name of drama, but OH MY GOD.)

Aya is incredibly vindicated that his personal nemesis is now the Big Bad for the rest of his team and threatening the Entire Country. I… feel like this is really not healthy for Aya's continued personal development. The man is going to develop a superiority complex. More of a superiority complex. In any case, the rest of Weiss decides they're going to help Aya take on the prime minster. And the literal army.

Persia, before heading for a safehouse, has vone to visit his sister-in-law's grave. She married Takatori and - for some reason - committed suicide. The episode doesn't tell us why (it may or may not be related to Omi's kidnapping and subsequent disappearance, but the show is not going to tell us this). Manx is trying to get Persia to go to the safehouse, and he has ANOTHER errand to run. He decides he needs to leave her behind, for her own safety, unconscious and out in the open. What the actual fuck.

Do y'all remember kidney girl? Aya does. I don't know that he's actually talked to her since their It's Not A Date, but he sneaks onto her balcony and asks her to use the money in a lockbox to transfer his sister to a different hospital. (This is honestly a mark of desperation; Sakura doesn't have the legal authority to do that as there is no paperwork to support it, she's underage, and there is literally nothing stopping her from taking the money and running.) Instead of a very reasonable What The Fuck Is Going On, we just get Sakura The Ingenue with a wide-eyed hopeful smile telling Aya she's sure he'll be back to collect his key and everything will be fine.

I'm not sure what, exactly, Persia thinks he's going to accomplish by driving his car right up to Parliament, but he does. And gets out of the car, wanting to talk to his brother. Somehow, the trigger-happy special forces do not shoot him.

Setting up another cliffhanger is further special forces personnel driving around with wanted posters of the members of Weiss (it's kind of hilarious to me that at least some of them must have been the ones who set the bombs, right, because we know Takatori was using them in that capacity, and now they're holding amateur flyers to seek out men they know damn good and well are not actually terrorists; I would honestly fucking LOVE to get an internal perspective from some of these guys, and feel like there is absolutely potential for a story here). Omi lets himself be seen and then flees on foot down an alley in order to draw one jeep-ful of men into a trap.

Weiss gets a win by eliminating four soldiers and stealing their clothes. Yohji, buddy, I feel like you should hide your hair under that hat. It's a dead give-away. Not that the rest of them have anything resembling military haircuts, but oh my god, Yohji. They have concluded that they are going on their Last Mission.

I can only assume they think they're going to sneak into the building with their Very Clever Disguises and murder Takatori, which is the shittiest plan ever istg. I don't think there is the slightest bit of critical thinking on the part of literally anyone here; not the characters, not the writers.

I swore I wasn't going to do this, but I am already in my head rationalizing the fact that Takatori moved so fucking fast and Weiss not being injured by telling myself that more time than like, literally A DAY must have passed; it has to have been weeks. Martial law wouldn't have been instituted quite so fast, except that then what's the rationale for locking down ALL OF TOKYO (?!?!?!!!) if no further bombings have taken place, so there must have been more bombings carried out in the meantime we just didn't see it on screen and you see how I am now just MAKING THINGS UP ENTIRELY so this makes some sort of sense.

Why the fuck is it still so incredibly entertaining????

[cryptidfoxes]

for the op s/i game, tell me about either your twd s/i ( glenn / maggie ) or your doctor who s/i ( thirteen ). or both, if you're up to it!

I'll do both! I'm always down to talk about any of my S/Is 😂

I'm also starting to realize "saving character from a bad fate they got in canon" tends to be the "Mary-Sue" trait A LOT of my S/Is get 🤔

---

Walking Dead: I feel like it's worth noting that, right out of the gate, this S/I changes my canon VERY early in the show's timeline. So!

Why I think she might be a labled "Mary Sue" lies more within her relationships than her powers-although, she is almost as skilled (if not on equal footing) as Daryl Dixon when it comes to using a crossbow and hunting.

HOWEVER. As far as her relationships go...She's Negan's daughter. That's the big one.

After seeing the path her dad's starting to go down post-outbreak, she immediately gets the fuck out and eventually meets up with the Atlanta Group-somewhere around like...Season 2-4 (I wrote this before Negan's backstory/placements in the timeline were revealed)-and starts to gain their trust and work her way into their hearts...More specifically, into the hearts of a certain farm girl and nerdy pizza delivery boy. 😉

This S/I gets the brunt of the negative aspects of my personality-she's nervous and paranoid, and honestly constantly waiting for those closest to her to up and leave...So having two people interested in her is fucking wild in her mind. But her partners love her unconditionally and help her through her shit.

Way down the line, during the lineup, her being there and Negan reconzing her is what saves anyone from meeting Lucille, even though he still does put Alexandria under his control. He does it as a "favor" to his "little princess" (IE, holds the fact he didn't kill anyone in her new found-family over her head for anything he wants her to do until he gets imprisoned and gets his character devlopment.)

Doctor Who: She's a Vampire from the Victorian Era who started off as a human companion-the Vampire thing I feel is enough but that's just the beginning 😂. After a miscommunication/misunderstanding between her and Thirteen-cause as we all know, sometimes The Doctor does not great things with the best intentions-she was dropped back off in her own time which left her a bit...Jaded.

With the intent of revenge, she PURPOSELY sets out to gain immortality leading her to Vampireism. When she has that, she goes absoloutely feral-killing trying to hopefully catch The Doctor's attention (But only hunting the worst of criminals. She's angry and unhinged, but not a monster.) and waiting for the day their paths cross again.

...Seeing as Thirteen is a romantic F/O, it obviously doesn't go as planned 🤣

She's also T H E reason in my canon, Donna gets a much better ending than the actual show gave her-but that's an entire essay itself if anyone is interested...But just know Vampire!Donna is both fun and a challenge to write ^.^

like do people forget that peter lukas had four siblings. and none of them became avatars, none of them wanted to feed it. he's right there going i love it i love it i love it at a certain point ignoring that is just condescending.

god I know right. my man was being literally compelled, like he could not lie, and his entire statement basically consisted of "god this fucked so hard, I regret nothing, this is the perfect life for me, I love being evil and alone, I cannot believe my life ended up so perfect for me, all my siblings are pussies and I fucking love being an avatar, did I mention I regret absolutely zero part of this" lmao.

I think a lot of people struggle to get past their own idea of what an abusive or neglectful upbringing would look like, and refuse to accept that... well, basically that not everyone is them. this is something I've noticed a lot in life; it's not malicious, it's just that a majority of people find it impossible to imagine anything other than their own experience. this is how you end up with people making insane assumptions about everything, right down to the most simple thing (like Americans saying shit like "but you can't drink until you're 21??" on posts, because they can't possibly imagine that the OP isn't the same nationality as them, to use a straightforward example). the more drastic the differing needs, for example what one person would consider abuse vs what another person might, the bigger the difference and the harder it is for most people to imagine.

this is why I hate the prevailing attitude on here where people act like everyone is in the same boat. take the pandemic for example. there's so many posts about how it's been traumatising for everyone, and how we're all going through hell in quarantine, and it makes well-meaning but generalising assumptions about how everyone is feeling. but honestly? I have never been happier than when it's been quite literally illegal for anyone to try and socialise with me. I have never been happier than when it's been illegal for people to stand too close to me. I love how isolating it is and I love not having to physically interact. I love how much can just be done over the phone without having to physically be around another person. I love how people can't spring visits on me or harass me about visiting them. I love it!! no part of this has been even remotely traumatising for me and my life has improved exponentially for it.

but a majority of people don't feel this way. and a majority of people look at Peter's life and think it would be hell, not realising that it would have done terrible damage to Peter had he grown up in a normal family. there are a lot of us out there who would love it if our families had been distant and stopped trying to act like everything was great and we all got on, and didn't literally enforce happiness and fun. to conclude? when it comes to certain things, the majority does not equal correct. there is no moral assignation to something being the most common idea, and people who don't share it aren't wrong or traumatised. and judging everyone's lives based on your own standards of what you would enjoy or dislike is rude, especially when people start professing to tell others that they've been abused or traumatised when that's not how the person sees it at all.

tl;dr Peter had the time of his life and people just don't want to accept that because his life makes them personally uncomfortable because they're imagining it happening to them and not to a person who was absolutely cut out for it. also quarantine rocks.
