That Awful OTP Meme, or: my Binah/Hod manifesto

I originally posted this on twitter but while this is mostly tongue-in-cheek I actually have a lot of thoughts on these two that are generally summarized by [god DAMN I love the interplay of two people who are varying degrees of Terrible]

or just, like, a Hannigram meme.

#fennelart #project moon #binah/hod #lobotomy corporation #lobotomy corporation spoilers #the thing is that binah has never had regrets. binah has never had the time or desire to let herself have regrets #hod on the other hand is Full of them. she is someone who is trying very hard to be a good person #but is going at it from an entirely selfish direction (circa lobcorp) and just ends up completely sucking anyway #which is honestly part of her appeal to me? #i like the idea of them picking each other apart which is a thing that is extremely one sided at first because. it’s Binah #but even binah is still human albeit an extremely fucked up one and I think if hod manages to poke her head out of her own issues she could #start to see where the lines are #also she (binah) is locked in a basement and bored as shit and will take anything remotely interesting at this point #hence where I put her on the devoted scale versus indifferent #could you call it romance? #it’s not healthy in the slightest but no ship with binah involved is lmao #anyway this whole essay in the tags is mostly to say I’m proud of myself for the black damage joke lmao #periodic black damage and a -50% debuff to your stats. its the give and take you know how it is #shoutouts to the person writing binah/hod in the ao3 tag like two years ago you thoroughly infected my brain

Bishop Edibility Tierlist; A very deeply serious essay about which bishop would taste the best if you had to eat one of them for any reason

Aight, 88% of you voted in favour of this being released, so this is on you. This blood is on YOUR hands. Just remember that as you read this.

So you all remember that essay I did about how the bishops all had some kinda trauma or different reactions to purgatory and shit and how that was such a serious thing analyzing dialogue and reactions and stuff-?

Well there are TWO wolves inside of me, and one of them writes serious researched essays, it’s time you meet the other.

To preface this, this essay is entirely a joke please don’t take any word of this seriously.

To start with, technically anything is edible if you try hard enough, sometimes only once but I digress, however some things are more appetizing than others.

For this essay we will be taking evidence from canon in some cases on things you can eat, but assuming that this only means these things are more appetizing in this world, not that anything you can’t feast upon very specifically in the game is somehow inedible. Meat is meat.

Also Narinder will be referred to as a bishop because he was one.

Ok let’s start our list.

At the absolute bottom of the edibility tierlist is Narinder. Narinder is a cat. While technically cats are indeed edible by the laws of meat is meat, cats hold a special place in the hearts of many including myself.

But to be honest the real reason that Narinder holds this spot is meat quantity and quality of him specifically. Narinder, holds very little meat. Sure he has a head, but his arms are skeletal and it’s safe to assume possibly a lot of the rest of his body tis also but frail bone. Possibly what is not could also be rotten if he’s that kind of god of death that qualifies as a corpse. And while meat is meat, Narinder not only has very little, but what he does have may be poor quality. This cements him in the shameful bottom spot.

He’s also a-

Moving on, next, quite regrettably, is Leshy. Leshy is a major jump in quality from Narinder.

We don’t know much about bushworms or their anatomy but what we do know, is Leshy is dummy thicc, this means he has a large quantity of meat.

Unfortunately Leshy is also a worm which isn’t exactly the most appetizing creature to put in your gaping maw so that docks him a few points.

However the true reason he cannot be higher is that depending on your read of his anatomy, Leshy could qualify as a salad, and EWWWWW VEGITALS!!! 🤢🤮🤮

Moving on to the “would eat again category” we start with Heket.

Now it should not be news to anyone that frogs are edible, especially to French people. But I don’t believe in French people, they aren’t real. Anyway as I’m saying, you can eat frogs to your hearts content!

There are sanitation issues with Anura apparently being super gross which docks some points but overall, Heket is a solid option.

Now we’ve reached “ok hear me out” territory with Shamura.

Spiders are a major food source in cult of the lamb. Which is a bit questionable for a few reasons, including that there are multiple spider characters and Webber exists but also small spiders on the ground which seem to be a separate species which raises a lot of questions possibly best gone unanswered.

What really matters is what you can do with the small spiders you find around, you can chase them down and when you catch them, they drop meat. My friends have told me that this means I’m just taking meat they are holding, after all you can get berries if the spider has taken them.

What I say to this is: but the idea of lamb running around at night and picking up whole large spiders off the ground and feeding them to their followers is fucking hilarious, and also they always drop the same meat and never berries unless they have picked them up. You’d think if I’m just taking what they have and they will eat berries as well as meat, that I’d get berries more often. Nay, only when picked up from my farms.

This leads to the only possible conclusion being that people in the cult of the lamb universe feed often on spiders, that’s right, Helob eating followers is VENGEANCE.

So, we have established spiders are very edible in cult of the lamb, and you know what Shamura is? A giant fucking spider. They are edible, I rest my case.

Now let’s move on to first place oh boy who is it, probably who you should have expected, Kallamar.

His name sounds like Calamari to start with and not only can you eat squids in real life, you can in the game (similar weird separate species thing with spiders only in this case it’s more definitive that you can very much eat the squids themselves.)

Kallamar would also likely cry if you proclaimed your desire to consume him, misery not only makes meat better but his tears could be seasoning!

Not even to mention the fact that after beating him, it would be a moment of victoriousness and pure vindictive nature, to proceed to eat Kallamar, and vindictive nature is something I most definitely do not lack as I cuss out bishops every time I see the statues after I beat them.

Squids also don’t have many bones so unlike the others who you’d have to spend an extensive time processing before eating, Kallamar would be easy and his bones make up very little of his composition.

In conclusion, why did you read this whole essay it’s not even that funny.

And those of you who voted to have this released. Are you happy?

Are you not entertained!?

YOU MAY TALK TO ME ABOUT AN SHIRAISHI

you will regret this.

literally the main thing i’m always saying about an is that she is kind. she is so fucking genuine it’s insane. she only ever wanted to be friends with mizuki because she genuinely wanted to be friends with them. it wasn’t because of pity or anything, literally when rui thanks her for helping them in let’s study hard, she’s CONFUSED because she literally only became friends with mizuki because she WANTED TO BE FRIENDS!!!!

an is so fucking kind!!! she accepts everyone no matter what!!!! and i feel like a lot of people overlook that side of her!!! the amount of “mean lesbian” jokes i see about an kind of make my blood boil because she is literally the fucking opposite of mean. even to akito, who people always joke that she’s “mean” to, she’s literally not!

especially when you consider everything that an’s gone through too, specifically after light up the fire. even after all of that she is kind. she is still an. she grieves, she cries, she yells out in frustration but she is kind.

but another thing about her being kind — she’s not a doormat either! she says out loud that she does not forgive vivid street and taiga for what they did, and rightfully so!! i love that she’s three dimensional!! yes she will always love her street but that’s not something you can forgive just like that! GODDD AN SHIRAISHI I LOVE YOUUUUU

i could say more i could write a whole essay on her abandonment issues because she is literally me but good fucking lord. i’m so normal about her

#an shiraishi

[what-gs-watching]

"If that's a joke, I love it. If not, can't wait to unpack that with you later."

So, here’s a thing - winter makes me sad. I mean, it makes a lot of people sad, but also me. When I was younger I used to just cause a whole bunch of drama to get it out of my system but I’m an adult now and I’m still mostly fruitlessly job searching and I can’t really just go around starting fights anymore so I’m just sitting in my ennui, feeling unmoored. 

Which made me realize: I need Ted Lasso. Desperately.

Wherein, a low level American football coach moves to England to coach actual football (aka soccer) and ends up creating something so beautiful it’ll make you laugh and cry until you just can’t anymore.

If you’ve never seen Ted Lasso, first of all - how dare you? And secondly, start it now. Like, literally right now. It’s everything you didn’t know you needed. 

I will admit I didn’t get into it until my husband watched it and encouraged me into it because of my love for Jason Sudeikis. I tend to pick up unnatural obsessions for SNL alumni, I just want all of them to succeed, so I gave in and instantly lost my mind over it. I couldn’t get enough.

During the second season run, I literally had a standing weekly fifteen minute meeting with my engineers to talk about the latest episode and our theories on what would happen next, or what our favorite joke had been. There were MANY heated debates.

Before the third season came out, I made my family binge the first two seasons while we were on vacation. I remember my mom calling me after she and my dad had watched the series finale so we could talk about it - she’d never bought into a show like that before.  

Ted Lasso just brings people together, and I find it absolutely ridiculous that this poignant, wonderful, life affirming show came out of a bit that Sudeikis wrote in 2013 for an NBC Sports commercial. It’s mind boggling. 

You guys know, it’s all about the relationships for me, and that’s the entire show, really. Ted is unrelentingly positive and charming and understanding and the reason he likes coaching is because he wants to help his players be the best versions of themselves and wooooph throughout the show, you get that, for every single character, even Ted himself. It’s about loving each other and loving yourself and also somewhat about football and it’s just so fucking…delightful. 

And I’m obsessed with all of the different dynamics. Ted and Beard, and Roy and Ted and Beard, and Roy and Jamie, and Roy and Keeley, and fucking Keeley and Rebecca! If you need to see a perfect incredible WONDERFUL female friendship, it’s Rebecca and Keeley fucking Jones. Someone needs to write a long-winded essay about these two, because dear lord, I want a best friend like that. Everyone wants a best friend like that. Like, I just can’t with all of the messy, hilarious, beautiful relationships. I want to be part of them all.

Also,  it’s funny. Like, properly funny. Laugh-out-loud-no-matter-how-many-times-you’ve-seen-it funny. The bits are layered. And you’ll get something different out of them every single time. Nuance, gang. It’s all so nuanced. 

The first season is absolutely perfect. You get to know all of the characters and you get a general sense of what’s up. Everyone is kind of charming and you’re immediately annoyed with Rebecca and charmed by Roy even though he tries his best to be threatening, and you think that Nathan is adorable and you’re pulled into Ted’s unwavering enthusiasm and Beard’s silliness indulgence and straight-man stoicism and Keeley’s adorableness. And it’s WONDERFUL! I’ve seen season one at least four or five times, likely more. It’s everything.

There are so many good moments. At one point, Ted says he’s having salads for lunch with Higgins who is communications director or something and as Ted goes to leave Higgins says “Cesar you later!” and Ted BURSTS back in through the door and just yells “YES!” and it’s hilarious every time. 

When Ted and Beard realize that Roy is a bristling motherfucker who wants to hate everything, Ted says something like “wait til we win him over”, with Beard announcing “He’s. Going to be. Furious.” (And he was.)

It’s the little things in the first season that really endear you to Ted Lasso. It just wraps you up and makes you feel warm and appreciated, like there are people out there that are pure and good and they can make you feel pure and good too. 

And then you get into season two and you start to see behind the curtain. Ted’s really not okay with his divorce (which, I still think is because his wife couldn’t deal with his optimism? Which is so insane to me and I can’t even, I never forgave her like, what the fuck is that) and in general and they tackle a lot of mental health issues and social issues and it’s a bit hard to get through.

But at the same time, season two has some of my favorite bits? Which is confusing??! The scene where Sam asks Isaac for a haircut - everyone gets a single cut from the captain once a season - and the entire team watches and whoops and freaks out and it’s like, an intricate performance and everyone is just so fucking thrilled to be witnessing it? It’s weirdly beautiful. 

Ted and Beard teaching the entire team the choreography to NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye so they can send off the team shrink in a ridiculous way? Incredible. When they finally get the dance right, they lose their fucking minds. It’s so JOYFUL.

The episode where Roy finally realizes he wants to join the coaching staff and he makes a dramatic trek to the stadium while “She’s a Rainbow” blares? The theme of that one was believing in rom-communism - to rouse the team Ted tells them “Fairy tales do not start nor do they end in the dark forest” and yo that’s so TRUE - and when Roy finally showed up on the pitch he said, “You had me at ‘coach’.” I cry every single time I see that one. I literally watched it twice in a week when getting the family into the show and I cried both times. Hard. 

I think part of the reason this show is so resonating is because dark shit happens, but a lot of really sweet things happen too. There’s an episode wherein Rebecca’s dad dies and they’re all attending the funeral but it still is somehow achingly funny too, even though you learn some terrible things about Ted and Rebecca both in that one. They really ride the line of darkness and light and it’s messy and that’s life.

And then season three is hard.  So much happens. And you know that you’re barreling toward the finale. There’s only 34 episodes in the entire series and it’s not nearly enough but they do try to make the most of their time. 

Watching the finale season in real time was really interesting though, I’ll say, because the fandom was so nuts at the time. So many random theories and outrage over some of the story points. And at the time I did kind of agree, but seeing it all back to back now in my first true binge, it all makes sense. Everyone had their own journey and some of them were ridiculous and maybe we just wanted things to stay the same because that’s how we fell in love with the characters but that’s not the point, gang. Shit is forever changing.

I’ll never get over the moment when Roy finally relents to the diamond dogs. Or Jamie teaching him how to ride a fucking bike in Amsterdam. Or when the team comes together to help Sam put his restaurant back together after it’s completely vandalized. Or Beard explaining to Nate his background with Ted, and offering his forgiveness to Nate as a way to honor everything Ted has done. Or Rebecca calling Roy out on his shit, saying that instead of helping himself he’d rather “eat shit soup and then complain about the portions”. 

There are so many little beautiful pieces. So many things that will pull at your heart strings and make you realize things that maybe have been niggling around in your brain but refusing to come forward because you were scared of them. Ted Lasso helps you be less scared of them. Ted Lasso helps you be less scared of everything, because it encourages you to accept yourself as you are.

In the final episode, Higgins says “Human beings are never gonna be perfect. The best we can do is to keep asking for help and accepting it when you can. And if you keep on doing that, you'll always be moving towards better.” 

And that’s what all of us need to understand. This show will ingrain that thought into you, and it’ll buoy you, and you won’t even realize it. 

So maybe now I’m feeling less ennui. Because I’m still laughing at the hijinx and basking in the wholesomeness and the amazingly perfect relationships  and the belief. Ted Lasso makes you fucking believe.

[angst-is-love-angst-is-life]

LEGITIMATELY I could write whole essays on Barry's mental health in season 3 ALONE the man was most of the time passively suicidal but there were times where he was legitimately actively planning his own death it's alarming and it is NEVER ADDRESSED (you best believe I'm addressing the hell out of it in every fic I write lol)

AS YOU SHOULD

It’s one of the reasons I’m so angry about season four. Yes, there were funny moments in the season; but it undercut SO MUCH to do that. In this case, I’m referring to the fucking therapy arc/whatever

All the mental health stuff was turned into a joke and I still have to rewatch it (don’t want to…) but I’m 80% sure this is accurate.

#and you’ll /obviously/ see me joke about hurting Barry and such but there’s a clear difference between doing that as a writer OUTSIDE the #story— and treating serious things as a joke INSIDE the story. fuck man. #asks #barry allen #the flash #vexic #the flash season 3 #barry’s mental health

If it becomes more than a dream, what do you think a Super Paper Mario movie would be like?

Please write down everything you have to say, it doesn't matter if it's a 100 page essay I would like to read it.

When I finally get not only yapping permission, but also yapping endorsement

I think about the SPM movie a LOT. Not because I think it’s going to happen but because I’m insane. I also think it works better as a show, but I always must migrate to thinking of it as a movie lol. I talk a lot I’m gonna divide my thoughts into sections (Again, I’m turning off reblogs because reblogging an ask gets rid of the read-more, I’m sorry!! It’s for the best LMAO)

Rating:

I would LOVE if they addressed it like the FNAF movie. I remember people talking about how “oh it’s gonna be for kids because it’s a kid’s franchise and they’re gonna make more money if they made it for kids” but they made it PG-13 and. Everything was fine. They made a shit ton of money and everything was fine. Point is, I think SPM would work best as a PG-13 movie. And yeah it sounds like that one clip of SpongeBob and Patrick screaming in terror on a baby rollercoaster, but SPM does have elements that would be Difficult to put in a movie format and still make it rated PG. With the game, it can be passed off as cartoon mischief and thus be E for everyone, sure, but in a movie? I don’t see it. And let me clarify- I know they could make the hypothetical SPM movie be rated PG and still have its original plot, but I believe that is only if they cut down on a lot of things and make it very goofy and overall remove the heart of the story. But do I think it would be fucking PEAK as a PG-13 movie? Hell yeah. They could have a lot more leg-room to truly pay homage to the game, which is known as one of Mario’s darker stories for a good reason.

But do I believe they would make it PG-13? No. Definitely PG. Again, I know this is a Mario game and it’s not some super evil sick twisted story oh my god cover your eyes little timmy blah blah blah, but STILL. Pulling off some of its core scenes on the big screen where there’s SO much more detail in the animation and the voice acting etc etc etc would be hard to accomplish without making said scenes less impactful or even shallow. And if you still think I’m being dramatic, the mario movie is rated PG. The Mario movie. And all Mario did was get punched and got a bruise on his eye. I’m sure if there was a storyboard scene of him, Luigi, Bowser, and Peach getting set on fire and going to the afterlife, it would have been SCRAPPED. OR, it would have absolutely no emotion other than “erm… THAT just happened!” Take your pick.

All in all, if it were to happen, the SPM movie will lose some things. Nintendo would NEVER allow Mario to be in an PG-13 movie. It’s unfortunate :(

Speaking of the Afterlife:

Nintendo will have to cut out the Underwhere, Overthere, Grambi, and maybe even Luvbi and Bonechill. OR, completely revamp that whole thing to make it as religiously ambiguous as possible. No fucking doubt about it. At ALL. I can already see the change.org petition run by a Christian mother screaming at Nintendo for blaspheming God and making a joke out of heaven and hell “which are very real and you’re teaching kids it’s some silly fake thing in a fake Mario movie BUT NO PEOPLE HAS TO KNOW THEY WILL BURN FOREVER IF THEY DONT OBEY!!!” (Note: just in case it wasn’t obvious, I am mocking the Christian mother in the quotation marks). I’m surprised Nintendo even got away with it in the first place, ESPECIALLY regarding Luvbi and Bonechill. I put “maybe” regarding those two because it’s likely 2 and 2 won’t be put together about who inspired their characters, but at the same time. It probably will. Yeah it definitely will

Bonechill is directly inspired by Satan, and Luvbi makes indirect references to Jesus. Regarding Bonechill, to quote from his Wiki:

“Tippi's tattle says that Bonechill may have once been a Nimbi, which is supported by the fact that he has feathered wings on his back. This fits into the overall motif of The Underwhere and The Overthere, which draw heavily from both Ancient Greek mythology and the Christian religion. In particular, the concept of a fallen angel (Nimbi) is inspired by the Biblical story of Lucifer, who became the devil after betraying God. Furthermore, in Dante's Inferno (of the epic Italian poem, the Divine Comedy), Lucifer (now known as Satan) is depicted as a giant, six-winged beast imprisoned in ice in the deepest circle of Hell. This is all paralleled by how Bonechill has six wings, was imprisoned deep below the Underwhere, and is a self-styled "master of the cold dark" who uses ice breath to attack and is "something of an evil celebrity in certain circles of the Underwhere". Similarly, his being released during an apocalyptic event (the emergence of The Void) may be derived from the Book of Revelation, where Satan escapes from hell and he and his army are battled and defeated in heaven.”

Do you see that shit. Do you think Nintendo would risk doing this in a movie, let alone ever again in any game?The backlash would be INSANE. And they could easily call Luvbi a blasphemous mockery of Jesus because she sacrificed herself to save the world, AND CAME BACK LATER😭😭😭😭😭

Anyways, yeah. In the SPM movie, that whole chapter of the game is what’s going to be changed the most. It likely will be solely based off Greek mythology with no Christian themes involved. Or even LESS than that if they’re too scared. God I wish they weren’t. That chapter is one of my favorites in the whole game (mostly bc it’s crazy to me how Nintendo didn’t chicken out of making it), and it sucks so bad to know it’ll likely be almost nonexistent if the SPM movie were to happen.

Run-Time:

This game is. Long.

In my perfect world, I like to think of it as one big grand movie and it’s the longest animated movie ever made and it’s animated by Dreamworks in the style of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and it has 5/5 stars and critics are crying and screaming of joy and everybody who clowned on this game has personally showed up to my door to apologize for their wrongdoing and beg for my forgiveness. But unfortunately we can’t have everything we want

I don’t think they will cut out any of the dimensions, I just think that most side plots will be rushed through like a montage :/ It’s why I think it will work best as a series. Every episode could be dedicated to a Dimensional Door. But that also means it’ll likely have less of a budget which sucks

Blumiere and Dimentio:

Something will have to change.

First of all, Blumiere. I don’t exactly know HOW, but they will have to change about his story. The game itself has already gotten criticized for “romanticizing a toxic relationship” between Blumiere and Timpani, and that criticism will be MAGNIFIED with a blockbuster film. Again, I don’t know how the will do it, but they’ll have to adjust that plot to please the masses more than likely. It fucking sucks. But this is modern Nintendo. They are going to go the safest route possible.

That’s not the only thing regarding Blumiere that will have change. Yk how the game also gets criticized for giving Blumiere a happy ending but not Dimentio despite the fact that, regardless of their motivations, they both tried to kill everyone? That criticism will also be magnified with the release of a movie. They’ll have to modify the story to make Blumiere’s actions significantly less evil than Dimentio’s, which could be accomplished through making it so that Blumiere is mind-controlled by the Dark Prognosticus. OR, they’ll have to give Dimentio a happy ending too, whether that be he survives and changes his ways (BOOOOO🍅🍅🍅), or he also gets the “he’s alive somewhere” treatment like Blumiere and Timpani did. However, in order to accomplish that successfully with an audience of five years olds, they’ll have to directly talk about Dimentio’s own tragic backstory with as much weight as they do Blumiere’s. And l. Don’t see that happening. It would be absolutely CRAZY if it did and I would probably pass out in the theatre if we got to see the Pixl Creator, but yeah, it’s unlikely.

Mr. L:

Some good news! I see them making Mr. L recognizable

They probably won’t.

BUT THEY LIKELY WILL

In the first movie, Mario and Luigi’s bond was shown in ways they have rarely done before. Their love and care for one another is clearly shown, not just “that’s my brother Luigi wahoo!” or something. I mean come on, think of the hug scene. And you mean to tell me in the 2nd or 3rd or idk movie, Mario can’t recognize him with a blindfold on? Be serious

In a game, yeah haha funny gag, but in a movie, it’ll be met with more annoyance than anything and it’ll be really disingenuous, and it already does get that criticism in the game where it’s arguably “more acceptable.”

Conclusion:

There’s a lot more that can be discussed, but this is all I’ve put a significant lot of thought into about what I think the SPM movie would be like if I thought about it realistically. Basically, if it’s gonna truly be an SPM movie, Nintendo’s gonna have to grow a backbone. But even then, I still think it would be a great movie, especially in the eyes of those who haven’t played the game and thus don’t have the same “ARGHH BUT YOU FORGOT FLIP-FOLK NUMBER FORTY TWO” mentality that I have LMAO. And even THEN, I still think it would be a great movie. Nintendo will just have to be reaaaally careful to adapt to the limitations (that they put on themselves 💀) and still make it a movie about Super Paper Mario.

Coming out Hc! Ft: Dorm Leaders

summary: headcanons n honor of girlypop month of how our beloved dorm leader cast would react to you coming out to them!

Riddle Rosehearts

He would most likely not know that much about homosexuality. His mother is and is most definitely homophonic so he would know nothing of it unless his mother speaks of it in a negative light.

Though even with his little understanding of it he will try to be supportive. He won’t know that much of what he’s being supportive of at first but he will try to be. Along with later that night after you explained it to him he would dedicate his whole night to just studying every little bit of information he could get about it just because he wants you to know he cares about you. Like he is having a whole ass study montage just for you. But he isn’t going to study all night no. He knows better than to stay up. But he may just stay up for a few more minutes then he’s supposed to just for you. His dorm is going through hell but hey we all have to make sacrifices for our loved ones.

If someone is bullying you then it’s immediately off with their head, having to write a whole essay on why they shouldn’t bully people over being attracted or a different gender, and then studying everything about LGBTQ+. If they can’t understand it then they might as well learn how to.

“So…Riddle I’m ____.” You said finally mustering up the courage to tell the red head. He remained silent for a few seconds worrying you. Holding in your breath as you awaited for him to start yelling at you about how it was wrong. “ Oh…I’m not too familiar on that subject of sexuality. Do you mind explaining it…I’m not upset with you. Mama never really told me about things like this.” He sighed giving you a reassuring soft smile of his.

Leona KingScholar

He in all honesty doesn’t care whatever you are. You could even be a fucken mango and he’s still want to go back to sleep after you told him. Like he gives zero fucks. Though he will be supportive in his own way. He won’t treat you differently or anything really but even though he’ll never tell you this he appreciates you telling him.

He may be an asshole to a lot of people especially you but he still has his own little soft spots for people that care about him. And with you caring enough to tell him he may even be a little nicer to you. Not a lot because you’re just a herbivore but still just a little nicer. He makes no promises.

If someone is bullying you well then all hell goes loose. You’re someone he actually tolerates so you’re pretty much untouchable. Because who would want to get on his bad side?

“ Well I’m _____ Leona….” You said. How you even managed to be in such a serious conversation with him you will never know but one thing you will is his face slightly softening after you tell him. He still looked a bit annoyed from being woken up from his nap, but still he then let out a chuckle. ” That’s nice….will you now let me sleep?” He stated with a tilt to his head. ” I feel so supported from you.” You huffed crossing your arms. ” I’m sorry for not leaping in joy.” He said in a dramatic gesture making you laugh.

Azul Ashengrotto

In the sea it’s very common for same sex relationships, transitions, and ect. So at first he won’t understand what’s so important about you telling him because it’s something he had seen every day growing up. But when he does he is very shocked. And has the most surprised face ever. When you explain to him about how things work up on the surface he is flabbergasted. At first he thinks it’s a joke but when he sees it’s not he’s nice again flabbergasted!

He’ll be supportive of you so don’t worry and if someone isn’t well they’re now the Leeches problem you poor unfortunate soul. Being bullied for something such as attraction or gender should be a crime. And bullying in general he’s literally the bully buster.

“I’m ___ !” You told the shady business man. “ Ok? I mean that is normal.” He told you with a soft chuckle at why this was such a big deal to you. ” Maybe where you come from but it’s very different and difficult up here.” You explained before going on about what it was like up here. After telling him he is flabbergasted! “ People even get bullied for attraction that’s just ridiculous!” He gasped.

Kalim Al Asim

This sweet baby is also very clueless on why it’s such a big deal. Not because he doesn’t understand it. No he has many siblings that probably are also part of the LGBTQ+ so he had painstakingly studied about it just for his younger siblings being the good older brother he is. He didn’t study that much but still he tried his best to understand what it was just for them. So when you go to tell him he is immediately hugging you. He’s very happy you told him it. He might even throw a party. But if you don’t want have a big ol party tell him now before he does it all in one minute. It’s literally a party everday for him so please if you don’t want one tell him or else you will now be very well known for your sexuality.

The most spot on supportive person in this whole group. If someone is bullying you well then he’s giving them a stern talking to. Joking yeah Jamil will deal with them as Kalim gives them a very friendly but oddly threatening talking to.

“ Kalim…I’m ____!” You stated in fear of what the heir would say to you. I’m “ I’m so happy! We should celebrate! How about a coming out parody!?” He suggested as he rushed to hug you.

Vil Shoenhiet

Have you seen this man? Have you fucking seen this man? He is literally the most obvious ally you will have. If you seriously thought he would be homophonic he will be extremely offended. Vil is literally the most girly pop of this group. He has literally everything in the bag. I’m not joking he is now your Marry Poppins. If you need any tips he’s got you. If you’re having gender dysphoria you’re now going shopping or whatever to help you feel better. He’s your guy!

Someone bullies you they are now cursed. Hes joking but wished he could, but he has a reputation to keep so yeah. If they’re in Pomefior their life will be even more of a living hell in that dorm. If they’re not well let’s say they would want to show their face anywhere.

“Vil ….I’m ____!” You stated waiting for his answer. “ Oh that lovely potato!… Did you seriously think I’d be homophobic? I knew you were stupid, but not that stupid.” He sighed. “ Well…I mean you just never know with people.” You shrugged. ” I’m not that judgmental or strict!” He announced while a feral Epel silently disagreed.

Idia Shroud

Another obvious Ally. Just because he rages like a serial killer when losing a game or threatens to doxx people on the internet doesn’t mean he’s homophobic. He’s literally just slouching in his chair playing on his nindento switch when you all the sudden just come out to him. Listen just because he can be mean and scary doesn’t mean he is always mentally prepared for things. It takes him a whole minute to even process what he should say. Until he eventually just says “Oh…okay.” Sure it’s not what you’re expecting but still it’s the thought that counts.

He literally will support you. He along with Vil, Kalim, and Azul probably know the most about LGBTQ+ in all honesty. He probably has questioned himself after having his fourth identity crisis every week.

If anyone bullies you well they’re dead. I’m not joking they are literally just dead to him. They may or may not have had their address leaked by some mysterious person online. No one will ever know.

“Idia I’m ____!” You announced finally getting it off you chest. ” Oh, okay…. I mean good for you, but I’m really trying to kick this persons ass right now.” He told you. ” I’ve never felt so cherished and supported in my life wow!” You sarcastically told him as he rolled his eyes.

Malleus Draconia

Once again clueless but he does know about it just not that much of it. He doesn’t see it as bad or anything really just two people who are in love. Something his hopeless romantic ass dreams of. A beautiful relationship with the person he loves most. But once you come out to him he’s very intrigued about it. And so on you’re now his very own encyclopedia or dictionary. He is thrilled to have you explain things to him. He finds your knowledge and how you put things very amusing.

Very supportive and I mean very…very supportive. He got a pride flag just for you. Just for you He will even ask Lilia many questions about it too just to learn some more about it. But yes in all honesty very supportive friend who will love you no matter what.

You aren’t being bullied no. Just no if the idiot doesn’t know your friends with him they will now know. And have a 50/50 on making it out maybe.

“ Hornton I’m ___! “ you told him anxiously waiting for his response. ” Everyday you intrigue me more and more Child of Man.” He chuckled giving you a sweet smile.

Tysm for reading this! Hope you’re all doing well or that things are getting better! In honor of the first day of pride month I had done this! I hope each and everyone of you are s having the best of luck! Sorry if a bit of them are kinda oc!

Sincerely-Cup1dT3a ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I miss early seasons of sunny.

And not really the type of jokes— I think dark humor is hilarious (duh) but some times they were a bit much. But I miss the dynamics. I feel like it’s even stretched up to s10 but the past few have felt so different. They felt out of character even though it’s still the same writers and the same characters and what not.

I guess I just miss when it seemed like The Gang actually cared about each other a bit. As much as they could, anyway. They’ve always been pieces of shut but they’ve always been each others pieces of shit, and it was special.

Even if they were doing something for their own gain, there was always a hint of them doing it for each other. Like, for example, Charlie Got M*lested. Dennis and Dee went full on private investigator, and sure they were only trying to “help” their their own ridiculous ego-centric/competitive reasons, but the factor the matter is they were still trying to help Charlie. In Charlie Has Cancer it seemed Dennis was truly concerned when Charlie told him, if not a bit uncomfortable. And I feel he only acted so weird because the way the Reynolds household worked when they were little. That’s a whole other post in itself, however.

In Dennis And Dee Get A New Dad, Charlie tagged along with Mac to visit his dad— and sure it was because the idea that Mac’s dad could be like a father figure to Charlie as well, but he was there to support Mac at the end of the day. As well as the fact they were so ready to beat the shit out of D&D’s biological dad for Frank.

In Dennis and Dee Go On Welfare, the twins hung out and acted like actual siblings. There was bickering and arguing sure, but that’s just how you act with your sibling. They hung out, they enjoyed each others presence, and it didn’t always have to be some huge joke about how everyone hates everyone.

Charlie Gets Crippled— when Dennis hit Charlie with his car it was real concern he had seeing Charlie in the hospital. As well as in Gun Fever when Dennis accidentally shoots him. You even see Dee talking to Colin about Charlie— letting him know Charlie’s okay. Like a friend does. Like you do when you care about someone. They even say they’ll help Charlie out with his rent!

There’s many more examples so I’ll just breeze through them here so this post doesn’t get too long. Dennis checking on Charlie and helping him write Dayman, Dennis knowing exactly how to calm Charlie down in The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Edition (and The Gang Goes to Hell), Sweet Dee Gives Birth, Dennis is a good brother. We see him being a good brother. And it’s not for any reason other than to care for Dee while she’s having her baby. Sweet Dee Has A Heart Attack, Dennis and Dee bond like actual brother and sister and he’s concerned about her well-being— actually concerned. In The Gang Wrestles For The Troops we see Charlie Dennis and Mac enjoying being together. We hear about them wrestling and having fun with one another and they stick together in those goofy fucking bird costumes. Macs Banging The Waitress: call it selfish desire or extreme attachment issues and an insane ego, but Dennis was troubled when Charlie and Mac agreed they were bffs and not him, he tried everything to get Charlie to change his mind. Charlie Kelly: King Of The Rats— I could write a whole essay on this episode alone. Dennis Dee and Mac went above and beyond for Charlie. Just to make his birthday special. Mac And Charlie Write A Movie: again, they just act like friends. Real friends. It’s obvious they cared for each other. In Charlie’s Mom Has Cancer they all try and figure out a way to help. And yeah there’s that whole subplot of Dennis not feeling anything, but I feel like that makes it matter more that he wanted to tag along to find a “cure”, whatever that cure may be.

And there’s so many more instances of them just…. Enjoying each others company. And I’m not saying it doesn’t happen anymore, I’m just saying it doesn’t happen nearly as often as it used to. It feels like now they’re just a group of ex-friends that all resent each other just below the surface. They had selfish reasoning, they always did, but they also cared about each other. The things they did, they did to try and benefit each other. And maybe it’s just because their characters are being flanderized, maybe I’m insane, I dunno. I just miss old Sunny.

#cain’s rambles #idk does this make sense??? please tell me I’m not crazy #maybe I’m just feeling nostalgic #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #it’s always sunny in philly #it’s always sunny #always sunny #iasip #mac mcdonald #charlie kelly #dennis reynolds #dee reynolds #frank reynolds

Reading Thirst Tweets / Jonah Hauer-King X Actress!Reader

A/N: So, I’m kind of obsessed with watching these type of videos and I thought I’d just combine it with my love for this beautiful man and wait for Buzzfeed to realize it’s what the people want. I actually found the tweets by looking up thirst tweets on Twitter, but I can't really remember by who they were, so please let me know if you know.

Summary: You had wrapped the project you and Jonah had been working on for the past year and a half and now you are invited by Buzzfeed to come and read the Thirst Tweets they picked out for the both of you. Warnings: Thirst tweets, obviously. Including some innuendo's. Word count: 925.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

You and Jonah were sat down in the studio that belonged to Buzzfeed, a blue screen behind you guys as you both giggled nervously, anxious to know just what people had been writing about the two of you on Twitter. You shifted in your seat, two buckets sat on the table in front of you guys that contained the small pieces of paper with the thirst tweets.

Once the camera was set you were given the signal, smiling into the camera as you introduced yourself first. “I’m Y/N Y/L/N.”

“And I’m Jonah Hauer-King,” Jonah chimed in. “and today we are reading your thirst tweets.”

Jonah dove his hand in first, pulling out a piece of paper that contained a thirst tweet about you. You had both, with approval of the studio, decided that it would be fun if you actually read each other’s.

“’Y/N Y/L/N is so fine, in this essay I will-’ and then it stops,” Jonah reads, putting the paper aside. “See, I never got the hype with the whole ‘in this essay I will’ meme.”

“It’s a Gen Z thing, you’re just too old,” you joked teasingly, earning a bitch face from Jonah, which, quite frankly, looked more adorable than anything else. “Don’t stress it, babe.”

He rolls his eyes as you call him that, but you could tell that he was feeling a little anxious about hearing what people were saying about him. His cheeks turning a crimson color as you smirked mischievously, scrabbling through the papers before picking one out and reading it to yourself first. You couldn’t help but laugh before you started reading it aloud in a playfully seductive way. “’oh jonah hauer-king baldheaded? that will make your pussy throb’, and then a woozy face emoji and three weary face emojis,” I said, looking back at Jonah as he had his face buried in his hands, trying to keep from laughing too hard as he hid his slowly darkening blush.

“That’s… wow,” he laughed lightly, shaking his head slowly. Inhaling sharply he puffed his chest, getting ready for whatever more was to come as he dug his hand into the bucket again, pulling out another note. “This is in all caps,” he stated. “’HOLY MAMA Y/N Y/L/N IS SO FUCKING FINE. PLEASE MOMMY’.”

“Ahw, thank you,” you reply sweetly, smiling at the camera.

Jonah raises his eyebrows at you. “You like that nickname?” he questions with a teasing undertone in his voice.

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” you grin back, diving your hand into the bucket before he could ask anything else, pulling out another piece of paper. This one was a little bigger, so you had to fold it open, revealing not just a quote, but also a picture from Jonah’s Instagram. “‘I wasn’t going to see the movie at first, but that bulge is definitely gonna bring people to see The Little Mermaid.’” you read aloud, nodding your head as you put the paper down. “See, you should definitely go to see the movie. It’s a great movie and there’s a lot of scenes where you see his abs too.”

Jonah blushes deeply again, causing you to chuckle lightly. It was pretty easy to get him flustered with compliments about how he looked as he could sometimes still get self-conscious, something you, together with most of his fans, couldn’t really understand the reason of as he was surely a very good-looking guy.

You moved on through the notes, sharing a lot of laughter and a lot of blushes as between the milder tweets there were some that were very much unhinged and creative, rendering the both of you speechless in some occasions.

“‘god i NEED jonah hauer-king on top of me, like bad, it’s not even funny anymore 🥴🥴’,” you continued, reading one of the last few tweets. “Let me tell you, it feels good,” you joke, not bothering to explain the scenario. Jonah simply looked at you and grinned, leaning in to press a quick peck to your cheek, knowing that that mere moment would send the fans into a frenzy.

You continued reading the last tweets in the bucket.

“‘Y/N Y/L/N can slap me, spit in my mouth and run me over and I’d say thank you’,” Jonah read aloud. “Oh, wait, this is mine,” he jokes, shaking his head as he takes a second look at the picture that was posted with it. It was a picture he took during the first week of rehearsals and posted on his Instagram. He folded the picture and stuffed it in his jean pocket, making you burst out laughing as you clapped while doing so. Shaking your head in disbelief before dropping your head on his shoulder.

After a moment of catching your breath you dove in for the last piece of paper. “‘if a woman tells you you have “nice hands” she is doing everything in her power not to fuck you senseless please release her from her torment her friends are receiving the kinds of messages someone in prison would send and with that said i would like to let you know that jonah hauer-king has very nice hands’.”

I looked back at Jonah as he placed his hands flatly on the table, looking down at them intently. “I think my hands look fairly normal,” he stated simply, tilting his head slightly to the side as he examined his own hands.

“You have very nice hands, Jo,” you quipped before looking back into the camera with a wink and adding: “and very large too.”

Hey! I’ve got some Cyno for you.

Imagine him walking by a group of students who are too engrossed in a conversation with Reader, right? So they don’t notice him.

He’s listening to what they’re saying and is just in time to hear Reader tell their peers a terrible, horrible joke — nobody laughs, of course, but Reader is doing their damn best to hold in their grin.

So Cyno, whose humor is questionable, just nearly snorts and draws attention to himself.

And you could take it from there? Please? :P because my brain won’t cooperate anymore sjjxlfhdksks

AHAHHZHHHH SCHOOL BOY CYNO???? SCHOOL BOY CYNO???? PLSSS IVE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS ONE DARLINGS.

I overthought about this so much ngl. literally pissed my panties when i read “student,” thinking “DO THEY MEAN HIGH SCHOOL? GRADUATE SCHOOL? COLLEGE? GRADE SCHOOL?” pls and after i wrote it i realized “well fuck maybe they meant students in teyvat,” and then realized if that was the case, then i just wrote a drabble about sumeru high school😭. im not sure if this is what you had wanted BUT HERE IT IS ANYWAYS.

omg but ngl i thought about this off and on all day and now it’s late and i think i’ve FINALLY figured out how i’m gonna write about this…. i had so so much fun writing this and PLEASE LIKE WTFF MY HEART IS MELTING. i also looked up "terrible dad jokes" on google and that's where i found the joke mentioned in this drabble HELDODld-

anyways sorry for the essay, thank you for your request!! praying to lord barbatos that this is kind of.. what you were looking for… IM SORRY IF ITS BAD GUYS PLEASE I SPENT LIKE 30 MINUTES WRITING IT

Holy Water (Cyno x gn!reader)

warning(s): none!!

word count: 550

The lyrics of Cyno’s music flamed loudly through his earbuds, his eyes drawn to the floor as he walked through the crowded hallway.

His curious eyes darted upwards in your direction as he took his earbuds out, quickly shoving them in his pocket. His eyes glazed over your figure as he stared at the small group of people you were chatting with.

You had a stupidly huge grin on your face, your toothy smile making Cyno bite his tongue. His eyes immediately darted towards the floor, but he kept his ears open as he started walking past you.

“How do you make holy water?” You asked, taking a deep breath to keep your laugh in your chest. Cyno listened closely with his brows knitted together as the group of students just stared at you blankly.

“I’m… not sure,” Collei, one of the students in the little group, said to you. She tilted her head in wonder as Tighnari crossed his arms, shrugging.

“You freeze it and then drill holes in it.”

The whole group stared at you and their expressions were pretty blank. Tighnari raised a brow to your foul joke, his mouth parted to the side in wonder. He didn’t try to show any amusement.

Collei nervously smiled after she understood the joke, creasing her brows and holding her books tighter to try and attempt to show some sign of laughter from your joke.

Cyno’s brows rose when he heard the joke, taking a moment to fully process and understand what it even meant. It finally did click in his head, though.

Tighnari, you and Collei all batted your eyes when you heard a small chuckle coming from him. He hadn’t even realized that the small laugh had actually come out. Cyno stopped in his tracks, steadily turning to look at the three of you.

He saw the huge grin on your face become wider.

“See, ahah! I am funny! In your face, Tighnari!” You squealed, playfully hitting Tighnari’s arm. Cyno just stared at you all in shock, unable to really move or say anything.

“You… thought that was funny.” It was more so a statement than a question. Cyno blinked at Tighnari as he said this, before quickly walking down the hallway without saying a word.

__

Cyno tapped his fingers against the desk, staring at the person who sat right in front of him— you. He couldn’t help but stare at you, thinking of the small interaction he had with you just moments previously.

You looked a little nervous from his blunt and confusing reaction when Tighnari asked him about the joke. Cyno never really had any real conversations with you, as you had lots of other friends. Occasionally, though, you did see him and wave or smile.

Class had already started, so Cyno couldn’t necessarily apologize right now. Maybe it was because he was paranoid, but you seemed bothered and he couldn’t help but blame himself.

That might have been the only reason why he wrote down something quickly on a small piece of paper, quickly tapped your shoulder, and then gave you it.

You looked confused from the notion but when Cyno nodded his head, you looked down to read the small piece of paper, grinning at what it said.

"I thought your joke was really funny. We should talk more."

I came home after a long shift at the gas station to find my roommate hanging out with a friend of his on our couch. I didn’t think anything of it at first, until I heard “Oh shit, it’s Foot boy Freddy!” I instantly jerked my head back, surprised to hear that in my own apartment. My roommate was watching tv and taking a swig of his beer, I don’t think he heard the man at first. “Well, what are you doing just walking past me like that? Don’t you see my feet are up!” He demanded. At this point my roommate turned his attention to me and his friend, a grin on his face as he was trying to figure out what was going on. “Dude, you remember me telling you about that fag that wrote my paper for me last month?” He asked my roommate.

My roommate started busting out laughing “oh hell no, Freddy- did you lick my friends feet after basketball practice?” His face was lit up with amusement, and I was not in the mood for this. I wondered how in the world Bryce could be the one here in my apartment, out of all of the other straight male friends my roommate had- he had to be the one at my apartment tonight. Apparently my face was crimson red, as I stood there in shock and embarrassment while they two of them laughed at me like a sick joke.

“Well shit dude, now I’m kinda jealous. All this time I’ve been living with a foot f a g and my feet haven’t gotten an ounce of attention! AND you write essays too?? You’ve been holding out on me dude, that’s not cool” My roommate teased, feigning indignation.

“Bro he writes phenomenal essays! Brought me up from a D to a B in just 3 assignments. Get the fuck over here Freddy, don’t be holding out on my friend! Look at his big feet, you know those toes make you wanna drool. Why don’t you come over here and introduce us to the real you? Maybe see if my friend here has an assignment you can work on for him in return for allowing you to fag out on his feet?” He said, picking up my roommates sneaker from the floor and taking a sniff. “Eww, dude your feet are gross. See f a g, you’re going to love this stench. Nose in the toes f a g g o t, just like you did with me last time. Let’s turn you into something useful.”…… before the night was over they had me locked in chastity and a whole new list of ‘house rules’ were implemented just for me to follow. I also have 2 separate 3,000 word essays due by the end of the week, but it’s hard to find a chance to work on them when I’m constantly being ordered to work on their feet instead!

[russilton]

you know every few weeks the short hair problem comes up again and I honestly could write a whole fucking essay on this but I think as a society how we look at men and masculine bodies just has a deep problem. like it's in the same corner as the small dick energy thing you know what I mean? Like you are not talking into the void?? There are people here who love their hair like that and it hurts when you talk like that, like I don't understand why people always make such a big problem out of hair. why are you making fun of someones body on the fucking internet, and no you don't get a pass just because they are men??

THANK YOU MONTE I realise we are deep in the “it’s not that deep” territory, and everyone loves to wave that flag when they see themselves within a criticism (I’ve done it I’m not immune), but it really is something we need to work on, or at least just reframe your way of speaking!

As a Jack fan I sit with it all year. Every time he shaves his head he gets called bald or ugly or egg shaped in my tags. I do embrace the egg joke when I can, but as a guy with a buzz cut just like Jack… it’s not great being called ugly! It’s a choice I made for my head and I love it, as does my partner, it shouldn’t matter- but it isn’t nice! I love when Jack fires back at people who lose their minds about it.

I get the same comments about finding mclaren Lewis hot- he’s gorgeous to me! But I’ve had so many anons acting aghast at that! The only thing not hot about it is that he was forced to do it.

Online fandom is often a space dominated by folks who will point out sexist language about women’s appearances, rightly so, but then parrot the same thing about men without a blink. No it’s not the same, no this is not a men’s rights issue, and it’s not anywhere close to the systemic severity women face. It’s just about not becoming the thing you hate. Leave peoples hair and unsettling eyes alone, I don’t care if “but men do it first-“ be better than them.

It hasn’t been lost on me that the more people started to find George attractive with his longer hair, the less insults he got from certain sides of F1blr. I don’t care if people pick the drivers they find hot, I did- just don’t shit on a guy cause you aren’t into them, there are plenty of decent reasons to hate tax avoiding millionaires, half of them with racism problems.

It’s easier just focusing on what you like when you can- if you don’t like it it’s not ugly, it’s just different and not for you. I don’t like george’s current haircut much, it’s not ugly though, it’s just different to what I’d choose. When you call a body part ugly, it’s never going to affect the guy who can’t see your posts, but it’ll hit someone you know. You are allowed to like other things more, but call it that, don’t act that something you don’t like is automatically gross.

Coffee Shop Blues and Reds Part One (Peter Parker X F! Reader)

Post NWH - Collage Peter!

Busy nights filled with college course work, leads to late nights in a crappy coffee shop, the only perk? Friendly neighbourhood company.

To keep updated heres the Series Masterlist and for my other works, you can find My Masterlist Here!

The longer you stared at the screen the more the words on it started to dance around. Holy fuck. You thought, rubbing your eyes with the palms of your hands harder than you probably should have been until you saw multicoloured stars. You looked at the clock ticking on the wall. Half past midnight. Honestly it was your preferred time to crunch essays out, you knew it was unhealthy, but the habit had formed between the ungodly hours you worked in this shitty diner and the ungodly amount of work your lecturer deemed necessary. Standing up you hobbled to the counter. Ignoring the ding of the door swinging open. "Uhm, can you just give me...enough coffee to stay up for like...the rest of the semester?" You yawned and let out a semi-fake laugh. It was a joke. Kind of. A chuckle behind you shook you out of your half-asleep state. "I felt that." A male voice chirped.

You didn't turn around, god knows you didn't need some weirdo talking to you at this time of night. taking the little paper cup and just sitting back down, staring out the window instead of at your laptop. You could basically feel the eyes on you, turning to look at the guy. He couldn’t of been much older than you, if he was older at all, his face was gentle, he looked kind and his eyes (much like yours) were tired and semi-hollow. He was cute, seemingly harmless, and he sat down at the table behind you. "Start of a shift or the end?" You dared to ask him. "Ha, end of a shift." he moved in his chair, shifting his whole body to look at you, his eyebrow quirked up a bit as he caught site of your laptop. "Are you writing an essay?" He seemed to be in a bit of disbelief, "At this hour?" He followed up quickly. Peter hadn’t really talked to anyone for...a while. He bit his lip and looked at his cup, sipping as he waited for a response. "Yeah, my lecturer is an absolute asshole, who finds it appropriate to throw pretty much everything he possibly can at me." Your voice was soft, cheeky in nature, making him share the grin you gave him.

"Sooooo...do you have a name?" you asked him. That smile, his smile, it was a sight of sore eyes. "P-Peter-" he stammered as he barely finished a sip. He cringed at himself. "I'm Peter, Parker-" His hand shot up, ready for a handshake. Which you gave him, holding his hand tight. Before letting go. "Y/n. Y/l/n." You told him gently. Shifting in your seat as he stood up and then sat down at your table. "Sorry-am I being presumptuous? I just thought, easier to have a conversation when you're not craning your neck." He chuckled a bit. He was awkward, but, he honestly made it work for himself. "So… How was your night?" You gave him another smile; it filled him up with a warmth. "Uh...crazy, crazy night actually." He couldn't tell you the truth but, he had a run in with a guy in a mechanised rhino costume and had been flung from the side of the building. His whole body ached but getting to share a coffee with a pretty girl was sort of taking his mind off all that. "...Crazy huh?" You eyed the camera he had hanging at his side. He flipped into cover-up mode, "Oh this-yeah I’m a photographer, a crime photographer-" "crime photographer, as in, you follow the cops around all night?" You were quick, interested in what he was telling you. His job sounded full of danger, even if he was just taking photos, "No wonder you're so tired." "I don't follow the cops, I uh, actually I follow Spider-Man." He explained, it was easier to be...semi-truthful, it saved on slip ups.

You smiled a bit more at the mention of the masked hero. He'd been around in the city for so long, had a big reputation and you were a fan of his. Your hands cupped your coffee a bit tighter, and you hummed at the warmth. "He's so freaking cool..." You let out quietly. He smiled wider at that, it was always nice to hear someone saying nice things about him...especially when his boss was the biggest spreader of horrible and false information. "He's alright I guess." Peter hid the grin with another sip of coffee, he felt more awake.

"He uh...He saved my mom's life." You told him. His eyes went wide, no matter how hard he tried to deny, NCY was small - at least to the guy who could swing around it in a few hours. "Really?!" He asked you. You shrugged just a bit, "It was a long time ago...she was on that ferry-" "Spider-Man didn't save anyone-" "Are you kidding me? Have you seen the news footage of it all? If he hadn't been there to slow it down, Iron Man couldn't have gotten there in enough time to help!" You argued right back at him, you felt kind of passionate about the webslingers good nature. "Don't tell me you believe all the shit that Jameson guy says-" I-I actually work for-" He started, and he laughed as you groaned. "No Peter! I was just starting to like you!" You raised your hands. Covering up your face. He laughed and placed a hand on his chest, "I'm sorry! Money is money, even if I disagree with his messages." He laughed as he spoke.

"How do I get you to like me again?" he asked gently. Your cheeks flushed into a deep red. "...maybe if you gave your number." You said, biting your lip a little. "So, you can harass me about my employer?" He chuckled again, eyes a lot brighter, a hell of a lot brighter than when you'd first seen them. "Exactly." You whispered. He downed the rest of his cup, and then wrote his number on the side of it, after flattening it. He passed it across the table to you as he stood. "Use it whenever you want to." He told you. Moving to go, with a wave as he passed by you in the window.

He barely got down the street before his phone pinged.

You seriously work for the spider-man basher?

He grinned. This was the start of something.

Chapter 2: Don’t Cry

Chapter 1

—

“Regulus, please tell me this is a cruel joke.”

“I know Dora. I know,” Regulus replied, desperately choking back a sob.

“Regulus-” she began but stopped at the expression blurring the boy’s features. Whilst opening her arms, she whispered pitifully, “come here.”

Regulus let her pull him in and wrap herself around his subtly shaking frame. The tears brimming in his eyes slowly began to escape, trickling down the boy’s cheeks.

“I know it’s selfish to lie to him. I just want a glimpse of what it would be like. I want to know what it would be like to be loved by him. I know I’m going to get hurt Dora, I know. But I’ll at least get a chance to feel it, even if it’s only for a little while.”

Pandora only nodded, holding Regulus tightly while he wept. She would murder James for the hell he’d unintentionally put Regulus through, but she knew he meant well, and Regulus would only be devastated. She settled on simply being there for him.

—

James nearly tripped sprinting up the Gryffindor stairwell, too giddy to care. He accidentally slammed the door into the wall, causing the two boys lounging on Sirius’ bed to nearly jump out of their skin. He graced them with a burning smile.

“He agreed!”

“You’re lying,” Sirius called in disbelief.

“Swear to Merlin I'm not,” he shot back with a large, dopey grin.

Sirius made eye contact with Remus, giving him an odd look James had yet to see before. He sighed lightly, then turned back to the oblivious boy.

“What exactly did he say?”

“‘Okay’”

Sirius mulled this over in his head, blindsided by his brother’s agreeance to James’ plan.

“Are you sure this is going to work, Prongs?”

“I don’t see why it wouldn’t,” he replied, clueless to the tone of Sirius’ voice. “I’m going to meet him in the astronomy tower tonight. In the meantime, I will be in the library attempting to write my potions essay.”

The messy-haired boy strutted out of the dorm, leaving Remus and Sirius alone again.

“I forgot how fucking oblivious he is sometimes,” Sirius spat, curling back into Remus with a sigh.

“I know, Darling. Should we put a stop to this?” he replied whilst stroking a hand down his lover’s back.

“No, I don’t think. Regulus would have said no if he didn’t want to get tangled in that mess. I know my brother, even through the distance. He knows how to handle himself.”

“Alright, Darling.”

—

The day came and went, night soon falling across the grounds. Regulus got to the tower early, sitting on the edge and leaning his head on his arms that gently pressed into the railing. Soon footsteps could be heard from the stairwell; Regulus tensed, unsure if he should try to bolt or follow through with the plan. Before he could decide the messy-haired boy came through the door. Regulus stiffened, fighting the urge to face him.

“Hello darling,” James cooed.

Regulus’ heart painfully clenched in his chest.

“Took you long enough,” he spat with a wince.

He hoped James didn't notice.

“I’m on time-“

“Late,” Regulus reiterated, peeling his eyes away from the stars, finally turning to survey the other man. “What is it you wanted to talk about?”

“Right, well. I wanted to set up some boundaries to make sure we were both comfortable for the foreseeable future. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable or anything throughout this. If you want to back out at any point that's perfectly fine. I'd like to come out of this as friends, not enemies. Trust me when I say that's the last thing I want to happen.”

Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.

“Reasonable. What did you have in mind?”

“I’m okay with pretty much everything that comes along with a relationship, but I’m assuming you aren’t a big fan of public displays of affection.”

From you? I’d love it

“You would be correct, but that might defeat the whole purpose of doing this, no?”

“Right… Well, is there anything you are completely against?”

“I’m okay with public affection as long as we aren’t virtually procreating out in the great hall and such.” He paused before adding, “Oh, and no real kisses.”

Regulus was not about to admit it, but he’d never had his first kiss. He wanted it to be special. It was childish, he knew that, but it didn't hurt to hope.

Right?

A bright grin spread over James face.

“No fucking in the Great Hall or kisses. Got it.”

Regulus facepalmed.

—

“Good morning Lovely!” James called from down the hallway, causing Regulus’ heart to leap out of his chest.

He whipped around to face the voice, getting slightly dizzy from moving so fact.

“Christ James, what are you doing down here?”

“I wanted to escort my boyfriend to breakfast,” he explained with a grin, moving beside the shorter boy to link their arms together.

Regulus tensed, and James pulled away slightly.

“Unless you’d rather otherwise?” he asked with a subtle pout.

“No, this is okay.”

“Are you sure?”

Regulus wanted to melt at the sight of James’ slightly tilted head.

“Yes.”

James beamed down at Regulus, causing his insides to twist into tight knots. He felt he might puke, which worsened when James pulled him in close. A burning warmth spread in Regulus’ chest.

After a few paces the burn subsided, a comforting warmth blanketing him. Regulus fought a smile.

“Will you be doing this daily?” Regulus asked, praying the hint of hopefulness embedded within his words went unnoticed.

“If you’d like me too, sweetheart,” James answered with calm ease.

Regulus’ insides somersaulted.

“I wouldn’t be opposed,” he nonchalantly affirmed.

“Then it’s settled. Every morning I’ll greet you in the corridor outside the Slytherin portrait.”

The rest of the trek to the great hall was done in silence, Regulus slowly becoming relaxed in the scalding atmosphere of James.

Upon their arrival, the glasses-clad man made a show of opening the door for his faux boyfriend and planting a fake kiss on his hairline. He hovered so close Regulus could feel his warm breath. In a pretend reluctance, they parted ways, Regulus trudging over to where he knew he’d be drowned in questions.

“Regulus. Arcturus. Black. What the fuck was that?” Barty demanded in a hushed spat through gritted teeth.

Regulus hadn't even fully sat yet.

“Hm?” he hummed in faux innocence, sitting between Dorcas and Evan.

“Don’t act like what we just saw was our imagination Regulus,” Evan interjected, anger coating his features.

Regulus scooted toward Dorcas; Evan and Barty were unpredictable, and he didn't enjoy being caught off guard.

The nervous boy threw Pandora a glance, his expression begging for help.

“Looks like our darling Black has a boyfriend,” she sighed sweetly.

Regulus made a mental note to buy her sweets and quills next Hogsmeade visit.

“Finally someone else here is dating a Gryffindor. It’s so annoying to hide,” Dorcas called, hiding by taking a long sip from her mug.

The group fell into silence, all four heads turning to look at the girl. Regulus was relieved to be out of the group's focus.

“What?” she asked innocently.

“Cas who are you-“

“No fucking way-“

“Marlene?”

“Yes, Marlene my beloveds. I’m surprised none of you noticed, she’s impossible to keep subdued. Sneaking her into our dorm was always a chall-”

“She’s been in our dorm and I didn’t know?” Pandora asked with a frown. “Cas why did you hide? We tell each other everything.”

The three boys backed off, pretending to lose interest in the conversation and focusing on their plates.

“I was nervous. I wanted to tell you, but she’s a Gryffindor and I didn’t know if you’d care.”

“Why would that matter if you’re happy? I only care that you’re happy.”

The two girls stared at each other for a while before Dorcas cracked a huge smile. She turned back to address everyone.

“I’ll guess I’ll have to introduce her to you guys. Barty, you’re going to love her.”

—

When Regulus exited his first class of the day, James was waiting outside the door.

“Hello lovely,” he cooed sweetly.

Regulus looked quite surprised, and James briefly thought it was endearing. He shook the thought from his head, confused as to where it even came from.

“I was wondering if you could write down your timetable for me. I had to ask so many people what class you would be in; Marlene of all people knew.”

“What for?” Regulus asked suspiciously.

“So I can plan my route accordingly,” James beamed back.

“Do you plan to walk me to each of my classes?”

James noticed what he thought was a hint of hope in the other boy’s voice but thought nothing of it.

“Of course, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t?”

The slight blush James had seen only a day ago was back, and he caught himself thinking it was quite lovely against Regulus’ faint freckles. When did Regulus become so charming to him? James shook the thoughts from his head a bit more aggressively. Regulus gave him strange look.

“I’ll give it to you after my next class; I have charms now,” Regulus replied, his voice slightly damp.

Before James could reply, he caught sight of the red-headed girl he was after. Regulus must have seen her as well; James felt him tense.

But something felt off. Her hair didn’t seem as vibrant anymore, and her smile was the same as others. Her burning aura that James usually basked in felt a bit too hot when she passed. James shook his head yet again, a weird feeling settling in his stomach. He’d have to contemplate that later.

Soon the two boys were at the charms classroom, and James pretended to plant a kiss on the back of Regulus’ hand before parting ways. If he sprinted, he could make it to potions in time.

—

Regulus was insanely bored. He’d learned all these charms when he was 10; his parents wanted him to have an advantage. He cast a wordless tempas, groaning at the clock. Dorcas looked over at him in annoyance, jealous of his deep understanding when it came to Magic. If only she knew where it came from.

Regulus was turning to look away when the classroom door burst open, a man with similar features waltzing in.

“Regulus Arcturus Black!” he shouted, his best friend stumbling in behind him.

“Sirius stop!” he called, reaching to pull the other man back and failing miserably. “Regulus I’m so sor-“

“My best mate? You’re with my best mate? What the fuck!”

Regulus would have been worried if it wasn't for the shit-eating grin spread across the other boys face.

“You interrupted my lessons to state the obvious?” he drawled, looking uninterested.

“It’s because you missed me,” Sirius declared.

“What?”

“Admit it. You’re only dating James because you miss your favorite person in the whole world: me.”

Sirius’ words hit Regulus like a ton of bricks. He missed Sirius more than anything.

Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have charms to learn.”

His words were missing their usual venom, instead filled with fondness and a tint of hope.

Sirius was satisfied with this answer, nodding his head and bidding farewell to the class. So what if he lost 100 points for Gryffindor? He had gotten what he wanted: his brother to give him a sign that he missed him too.

James just wishes he picked any other time to do it.

How and why Lily is a bad fan and an even worse critic

I want to get this rant thing over and done with as it's not about Lily Orchard being an actual depolorable person, just more rants about her bad takes and bad criticisms;

In case you didn't know, Poppy and Zena of TransGirlTherapy have interviewed Lily's sibling Courtney and a few other victims; I saw someone in their chat for the stream of it try and post about Lily's infamous writing tips and I just really REALLY want to put a big divider up right now between mine and other people's comparatively lowstakes beef w her and these very serious allegations. I'd be horrified by them even if they were of a creator I loved; these are not funny and ranting ontop of Lily's rants should be a few steps down from the really important stuff that needs to be addressed w her. So with all that being said:

I think her outdated "SU is Garbage and here’s Why" video is a great encapsulation of everything wrong with Lily Orchard’s critical theory, attitude, and brand. 

The whole video lacks a real thesis statement for an essaybreakdown. It feels really just like a woman having a giant fan rant at a show she used to like but now doesn’t-- because, that is what it is. BUT, that isn’t easy to listen to. Lefttuber or not, other essayist/watchalongs/media analysis-channels who talk about a thing for five hours will at least try and make their feelings actually collected. Hbomberguy’s Sherlock vid, YMS’s Kimbaspiracy debacle, Lindsay Ellis’ Hobbit three parter; all these vids are glorified fan rants extended to hours long and flowered with essay reasoning and research. They work because they're self-aware that they're taking the thing they are looking at too seriously but are committing anyway and preferably having some kind of fun or skill doing so, which is why I love to watch these kinds of videos. Lily Orchard’s thoughts all feel way too sporadic and focused on being spicy rather than coming together, and that hurts her point because it makes even her most serious call out against SU feel petty. 

She gets stuff wrong. Concrete was designed by black artist Lamar Abrams, not Rebecca Sugar who is white. Ftr I’m not pointing that out as some kind of “got you/can’t complain/Sugar never did anything wrong”-clap back; It’s just a fact. AND a missed oppertunity on Lily's part bcuz she could have pointed out how, even if Concrete wasn’t designed by Sugar, it was her in control of the artbook+ Rebecca’s drawn questionable depictions of black people before w she herself is not black and doesn’t get a ‘my friend is-’ clearance just because, and finally just the fact that +the white SU fandom dismissing this problem because they don’t want to be critical about their show.

That Lily doesn’t go into this counter-counter argument whatsoever tells me Lily’s true intentions: and that’s not to point out potential racism in the show, but to dunk on Sugar even more. Lily’s entire point about Concrete, as well as her handling of the poorly handled subjects in the show like the Human Zoo, which other critics, fans and critical fans have done a much better job at breaking down, all of it feels less like a beatdown of how problematic something is but her trying to spin Sugar into the worst fucking person because she wants to hate her. Nowhere is that more clear than in her now infamous ending shade abt Sugar being a fascist.

No, Lily did not literally call Sugar an actual Nazi. Her exact words on screen were a joking “do I think she is one, nah; would I think she is one w/o context? Yeah”.

In an alt timeline I wouldn’t think anything of this take. I get that Lily was trying to hyperbolic and relishing in her self aware pettiness -kinda like how Hbomber is with his over-the-top hatred of Steven Moffat- The issue is we don’t live in an alt timeline. Lily didn’t see how people were taking her too seriously and/or acting like Sugar was a nezi on her behalf +care that her edgy joke at the end of her rant could do some real damage, or even care that it just didn’t look good on her. She didn’t reupload the vid with a disclaimer tacked on, she didn’t tack on a pinned comment; she didn't write down a longer video disc to explain herself.

Instead she threw everyone who might have gotten perturbed by this comment under the bus, said it was all our own faults, and made it very clear she was not going to apologize for it.

Do u dislike ppl treating Sugar like she’s a Nazi and want to discourage that behavior, even in small ways? Fuck you. You’re a stan cuz Lily said so.

Are you Jewish and maybe think implying those exact words are uncalled for? Eat shit! Lily knows better than you and can talk about your life and issues better than you can because other gentiles who aren’t her have failed to do so….which means she’s actually speaking truth????

Lily Orchard could never eat a slice of humble pie and admit that she made a mistake because the only people who’ve ever criticized her and gotten real attention for it are part of the problem (i.e. 4chan, ED). Vaush type commentary bros who keep fucking misgendering her and taking more issue w her leftism that her authoritarianism.

'If obviously she has nothing to apologize for and she is totally over the accusations or her making accusations…which is why she keeps alluding to SU being fascist as a “joke”. The 'joke is on Sugar and all the people who could possibly be offended by Lily’s coining of what’s fascist so…it’s not really a self aware joke at all. She’s still going “harr harr, it’s YOUR fault that you read my comment that way and also who cares it’s not serious. RSugar is tumblr famous which means she’s a millionaire and can’t face harassment.” Tl;dr : Lily got flaq for going too far with a point and rather than just apologizing like a grown up, doubled down.

The reason Natalie (who doesn’t even cover media why is Lily so invested in Contrapoints???wv) and Lindsay will always be better yts than Lily is because they at least try to take some ownership of what they say. Does that always excuse them? No. Are they maybe still a little too apologetic of those on their side? Maybe. But all that is leagues above what Lily doesn't even attempt to do.

Fandoms, people, creators, ships and characters are punching bags to Lily Orchard. She can’t just dislike Rebecca Sugar because for the valid reasons ppl have w Sugar, which there are a LOT of- Lily has to make Sugar, and anyone who doesn’t find her joke at Sugar’s expense, into the worst possible thing. 

Lily can not make a joke or a real criticism to save her life. She is only venom and she has to double down on her points until they have no meaning. Lily Orchard’s activism and analysis aren’t about the things she says she’s fighting against; they’re about her and how everyone who dislikes her is the same kind of awful person and deserving of scorn for disagreeing with her. Lily’s the kind of person who abuses selfcare that good people get from watching Monica Lewinski’s Tedtalk, and basically came out the other end with an “I’m right and shouldn’t apologize for anything EVER”.
