If all of the nonsexual voreblr blogs were to go on a camping trip, what roles would you think people would have? (Leader, food management, etc.)
Oh heck yea camping trip!!
it would honestly be a lot of fun. I would help with set up and be a happy little messenger. Lizard would be many things. From a tent, boat, to any means of large transport. Mystic would be in charge of forging and handling food. Lucky is in charge of gathering fire wood and telling campfire stories! Griff is the heavy stuff carrier. From moving large logs and rocks to allow for good tent placement or building small forts. Kate would be good at coming up with camp activities. Adam and Nebby are moral support and helping make sure toast any wild creatures don’t get anywhere near the food stash. Void and jack could be by the waterside purifying some water. With Chell helping to transport the water back. Cj and some other artists would be in charge of building basic tools and baskets.
that’s about all that I could think of. Sorry this too way to long to do… it’s been rotting in my drafts for who knows how long. Hope you still like it though!

So much internet analysis of media feels like……. if people were trying to criticize Chick-Fil-A, but refused to talk about anything other than the quality of the sandwiches. All that mattered was whether the product was good. So people just debated endlessly over whether the products were Good or not, and no one discussed how Chick-Fil-A donated to conservative homophobic hate groups.
“Is this Disney product Good and does it have good gay representation?” Does Disney still donate to homophobic republican politicans!!!??? Do they still actively censor any queer content during production, cancelling gay projects and actively forcing their writers to cut gay content, to the point where every sad scrap that makes it onscreen is a miracle? Can you meaningfully make any statements about “gay rep at Disney” without bringing in that larger context?
It’s not a perfect analogy— because art shouldn’t be a product, and a movie is theoretically trying to Say something in a way that a sandwich is not. But Idk I feel like the reason we fixate so much on media analysis is because it is Fun. It is fun to talk about lord of the rings and the owl house and Steven universe. It is not fun to talk about the horror and exploitation that is baked into the “entertainment industry;” it’s not fun to research and analyze the systems that created the horrifically expensive movies you love.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because amazon is releasing the most expensive tv series ever made, a spin-off series based on lord of the rings. I have no interest in watching it despite my lifelong love of lotr but the thing is—
I have no doubt the series will be good! It will be fine. Lots of money has been thrown into it, and I have enough friends in the entertainment industry to know that on every massive corporate product there are hundreds of writers and artists sincerely trying their best to create good meaningful art. The Amazon series will be Fine. It will be good.
But my question is: Does it being good actually matter? Does it matter if a chick-Fil-a sandwich is good? Does it matter if this vile evil horrible media monopoly run by a villainous CEO that works its employees to death creates a good product?
I feel like I’m going crazy when most of the criticism of Amazon’s lotr is conservatives and people who act like conservatives ranting on about how “I can’t believe they gave Blorbo GenericElf a personality! That’s so out of character—he didn’t have a personality in the book! Tolkien, our lord and savior who we must worship as an authority, would be infuriated (because we still are bound to submit to this dead guy’s opinion apparently!) Everything would be better if everything stayed exactly as it was in the past, in the Sacred Original Canon. Any attempt to transform Tolkien’s work is morally reprehensible and a sign of the fall of the civilization.”
Sometimes I just want to shake those people and say “PEOPLE ARE DYING! people are dying in Amazon warehouses, and you’re treating your petty fandom opinion about blorbo genericelf’s personality as if it has this laughably enormous moral weight.”
I know that’s unkind, and that people can care about more than one thing; but I don’t know. I used to have this really naive idea that adaptations were a conversation with the original work, and every reinterpretation was a beautiful addition of meaning. I still believe that on some level. I think every author should be free to reinterpret stories however they want, should be able to argue with the original author and set their work on fire if they need to. there’s a lot about Tolkien’s work specifically that deserves to be disrespected, like his vicious racism and sexism. I LOVE transformative work—especially transformative work that meaningfully argues with the original author.
But like….you really can’t talk about these big media franchises without talking about the systems that created them.
Yes, people can sometimes create great beautiful sincere emotional art within these exploitative systems! I love the original lotr films and books. The new Amazon series is so expensive that it will be perfectly Fine.
But creating good art doesn’t change the fact that these giant media monopolies do so much real, constant, tangible harm. Warner Brothers caused massive harm to New Zealand while making the lotr/hobbit films, essentially strong arming the country’s government into changing their film industry laws to benefit massive foreign corporations. And Amazon is a vicious violent exploitative mega monopoly that is literally overworking its underpaid employees until it kills them.
It’s hard because I believe that good art can be very meaningful to people, and that media analysis can be important and valuable.
Its just that— not to swing a bat at a hornet’s nest— sometimes I wish people would stop hyperbolizing about how [petty fandom opinion] will cause lasting harm to the world, while not engaging with the things about the media property that are causing immediate tangible physical objective harm.

💼 curious what Stell might be carrying around in those inventory slots
[ask meme]
💼 (Bag) - Inventory check! What items does your OC typically carry around with them? What do they carry them in?
You’re in luck, it’s something I Also think about on the regular!
Stell is very much a “be prepared for anything” kind of guy—years of dropping planetside and foraging for parts and research has kind of taught him well, if you count “Get Them before they can Get You” and “Energy Drinks are a viable nutrition source” as good lessons >:’D
Then again, if the extent of preparedness is also maintaining a viable mode of transportation, then I suppose it can’t be all that bad haha

I ADOREEE your hlvrai ocs, you do such a great job at worldbuilding + expanding the cast. While I love Benrey's siblings and Eve dearly, I was curious if you had any other family headcannons for the other members of the science team? I know you've drawn John and Joshua before, and Bubby doesn't exactly have a biological family persay (if you exclude his hundreds of horrific prototype brothers). But outside Dr. Coomers wife I dont see many backstories for him, and I'd love to see if you had any headcannons him specifically or really about any of their families you'd like to share if you're interested, since you always seem to nail making super creative relatives and backstories for all these characters. Only if you want to, though! Once again, I love your stuff!! 💕💕 ^^
TYSM!!! ^^ 💖 I’m glad you’re able to follow my long n’ convoluted oc ramblings ha ha.
As for general info I have yet to dabble into (at least for family stuff regarding the other science team members:
Gordo-
Ppl who’ve been here long enough know about him n’ Kell and Joshie so I’m not gonna go into that too much- (tho I’ve been wanting Kell to be more involved.. I actually have sm unspoken ideas regarding him and the CMY siblings story stuff that I may or may not ever get into but I won’t delve into that here bc otherwise this whole thing is just gonna be about him. Ask if you’re curious tho!!) and as for direct relatives, he’s an only child (John n’ his son are more of like- an alternate reality brother and nephew to Gordo. Kell’s got a younger sister he considers to be his sort-of sister tho)
Bubby-
closest thing he has to family, like you said, are the prototypes and whatever other experiment was made when he was in the tube. Not much I thought of there beyond that.
Dr. Coomer-
Still developing the relationship he had with his ex-wife. I don’t want them really to have a super nasty reason for splitting, bc I see that all the time, but there’s a sort of complexity to why they split.
I want to say both were in the cybernetics department and both had levels of physical alterations with mechanical parts when they first met (and how they bonded) but to where the split happened I may be taking the line “but they took her in the divorce!” too literally. I have concepts! But nothing written down or figured out tho, like I said.
Aaand that’s as much as I have for the others 😭 kinda slow as I’m juggling/developing Ben n’ Tommy’s atm but I’ll get there!!

What about stepbro!remus finding reader smoking pot in her room? And he says he’ll tell her mom if she doesn’t do exactly what he wants and that’s how she finds herself sucking him off most days after school !
Hope you feel better soon xxxx
first of all, thank you my love <33333 and second of all, eeekkkk stepbro!remus (a favourite i gotta say)!!!
he’s unbearable every time because he’s always got something to say! you’re both constantly mouthy with each other, but now, he’s the one who’s got all the say (literally because… you know). the first few times you do it, you’re tearing up on his cock because the fat head that prodded at the back of your throat was such a new feeling :( and so he’s giving you a condescending, “oh, don’t worry, love. practice makes perfect, and we’ve got plenty of time, don’t we?”
whenever you forget a hair tie or something and your hair is in the way, he’s the most annoying! he’s just watching you struggle with a little smirk on his face… and whenever you go to pull your hair back, his cock still in your mouth when you do, he purposely uses the time that your hands aren’t resting on this thighs to thrust up into your throat n make you gag n drool even more all over him :(( he’ll tell you, “y’know, i could hold your hair back f’you if you ask nicely, bunny.” (and despite the way you mumble for him to stop calling me bunny, you always end up asking him and can’t help but appreciate the way he’s actually gentle with it)
and so every single thing he says makes you huff and cry out in irritation as if it doesn’t make your cunt clench and your panties all wet to listen to it with his cock resting heavy and twitching on your tongue.
