Part 2: I know you're dying to meet me
𓇼
I know you wanna slip under my armor
See, everywhere I go I got a million different people trynna hit it
But I'm still alone in my mind
I know you're dying to meet me
But I can just tell you this
Baby, as soon as you meet me
You'll wish that you never did
Alone (Halsey)
𓇼
Your heart was beating dangerously fast and you could not speak. Neteyam had a power over you, whether you liked admitting it or not. He had you weak in the knees for him as he kept you imprisoned between his tall, broad body and the big tree behind you.
How was he making you so vulnerable? You hadn't felt like that when it came to guys in so long. You feared what that feeling could mean.
Neteyam knelt on the ground so you could look at him without hurting your neck.
"Sevin tawtute…" (pretty human) "I want you so bad. All of you, syulang…" (flower) "I know you want me too. You came and you're here with me. There's no need to play hard to get anymore." 
Fighting against the rational part of your brain, you let your desire for him take over and moved your hand until it touched his chest, your fingers tracing his mesmerizing stripes that were a shade of blue darker than the rest of his skin.
"That's right, tawtute" Neteyam cooed, his breath faltering, your delicate touch giving him a rush of adrenaline, making him want you even more than he already did "Surrender to me."
You kept your hand on his warm chest and looked up at his face with eyes that were obviously bewitched by him as your mouth hanged slighty open. You could not hide what you felt anymore. Neteyam could tell how much you wanted that too, how much your body was calling for him as much as his body called for yours.
Neteyam looked deep inside your eyes with his big golden ones and grabbed you roughly by the waist, his huge hands squeezing you tight. His gaze never left yours. Neteyam kept your bodies together by holding you firmly against him. You felt like the air in your lungs was slipping away. You got even more breathless when he rubbed his hard cock against your pussy, making you give out a breathy, low moan.
His cock was still covered by his loincloth but you could feel it really well as he pressed it over your entrance. The thin fabric didn't do much to conceal his need. God, was he big…. Big is not even the word for it. And thick too. Your juices were leaving you all sticky between the legs.
It started raining. You had always loved when it rained while you were at the beach back on Earth and it was not different here on Pandora. You loved to go inside the Metkayina sea and feel water all around you, coming from below and above. 
It was cold now. You wanted Neteyam's warmth but didn't wanna ask for it. You were cold and his huge na'vi body would help you get warm.
Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if you gave in to him. You were already there, in front of his hammock. You came to meet him, right? So you might as well give him what he wants. Sex. Isn't that what all guys want? The only thing they want? To fuck you and then leave you alone crying, if you're foolish enough to fall for them? At least that's how it had been for you all your life. You weren't even sure if you still believed somebody could ever fall in love with you. Or fall in love and stay. You didn't know. You were shivering with the cool water falling over your skin, giving you goosebumps and it was hard to think straight.
"You're cold, yawntutsyìp." Neteyam looked worried "Come. Let's lay on my hammock together and I'll keep you warm."
You thought twice before accepting it. But you ended up giving in and letting him take you by the hand and lead you to his huge hammock. You looked at it and realized how humongous it was compared to the hammocks that were made for humans. There were some back in the laboratory. 
When the both of you stopped in front of his hammock, you took a good look at Neteyam's body. It was now even sexier with the drops of rain rolling down his toned chest and abdomen. You watched as the droplets fell through his thick thighs too. You had to admit he was fucking hot and you truly understood why he was so popular with girls. But that could also mean he was full of himself. You didn't know him well, you two had seen each other many times before but only from some distance. Neteyam had never talked to you before that night, even though you had noticed him looking at you many times when you had to go do some scientific researches on his tribe and he was around with his siblings. You never paid that much attention to it, though. You were used to guys looking at you. Not to be cocky or anything but you had been called "pretty" all your life and you knew you were attractive to many guys out there. Neteyam was just one of them, even if he stood out among the other na'vi for his uncommon beauty and you did, yes, feel drawn to him.
You watched Neteyam laying down on his hammock, his thick, fleshy thighs spreading over its surface. The stripes all over his thighs caught your attention again. You didn't understand why but you felt extremely attracted to his stripes. They made him exotic, different from what you're used to, unique… Looking at his beautiful dark blue stripes made you wanna bite his thighs.
You looked at him, still nervous but soon enough you gave in and laid next to him, by his side, your body pressing against his. Neteyam rapidly put his arm around your shoulders and, as his arms were huge compared to the ones of a human, his arm covered all of your torso too. You felt a little less cold now.
"You're so tense, tawtute. Relax, hm? Here, lemme make it better." 
Neteyam took your face inside his huge hand, its warmth spreading all over your cheek as he got his mouth close to yours and softly kissed your lips. He took your lips inside his mouth slowly but eagerly and you felt pleasure creeping in all over your pussy. You finally started relaxing and a moan escaped your lips when his tongue touched yours and massaged it softly, over and over. Neteyam took that as a green flag that meant he could be bolder now.
He started to hike up your light violet dress that was soaked by the rain, exposing your thighs to him. Neteyam ran his hand up and down your left thigh "Hmm, tawtute… You're so fucking perfect. Damn, I can't believe you're here in my arms."
"Neteyam?" You said, out of breath
"Yeah?" His eyes were still fixated on your thighs 
"Can I try something?"
"What do you mean?" Neteyam questioned
"I wanna dominate you, Neteyam. I wanna ride your cock." Your eyes were now seductive as you stared at him, your expression serious but alluring
Neteyam was caught by surprise. He did not expect you to say those words. But it did not mean he didn't like hearing them.
"Ah, baby… That's how I wanna see you. I wanna see you showing me your wild side. Wanna see my tawtute let go of her worries and just enjoy this night with me." a smile full of satisfaction adorned his beautiful full lips
You knew that meant he wanted to be dominated by you. 
As you started taking your dress off, Neteyam's eyes were glued on your body. He wanted to feel every inch of you. He was in love with every single part of your body.
Neteyam watched you slid your panties down your legs and sit on top of him. You started rubbing your soaking wet pussy on his hard cock, still covered by his loincloth, and he whimpered at the friction. You didn't care about your worries anymore. All you wanted was to feel that huge, delicious cock inside of you.
"You're gonna have to take this off for me. I have no idea how to take your loincloth off. Seems complicated to put on." Your fingers grabbed the string of his loincloth and you were smiling and looking at him
He smiled widely, a dirty look on his face "That shouldn't be a problem. Give me a second, syulang."
Neteyam took his loincloth off with ease as he was more than used to putting it on and taking it off every single day. You thought the way he did that was so fucking enticing. Damn, every single thing that alien boy did was attractive in your eyes.
Once his cock was out and it moved back, towards his abdomen, you felt something primal coming over you. You wasted no time. In a second you were already on top of him, taking his big blue cock inside your small hand and burying it inside of you. Neteyam groaned when he felt your gummy, wet walls squeezing his girthy cock.
"Hmmghh…" You couldn't help but moan because of his size
"I know, tawtute… You feel so fucking good too…" He mewled
Neteyam's cock was so big it reached the tip of your womb every time you rode him. It hurt you but it felt so insanely good at the same time. You knew your pussy would feel bruised and used the next morning but you wanted that. You wanted to spend the whole day being reminded of how Neteyam's huge cock had been deep inside of you.
You could not stop grinding on him. You loved knowing he was so desired by so many girls but tonight he was only yours. That made you feel hot since you knew you were pretty enough to not only get his attention but to make him spend all that time back in the party trying to get you. And he did. He got you good.
Neteyam cupped both your breasts and squeezed them gently
"So fucking soft, oeyä tawtute…" (my human) "Just like I thought they would be."
You put your hands over his four finger hands and kept them there while you kept moving your hips, riding him like that cock was all you ever needed in your life. Your eyes were closed, as your chin was up and your mouth hanged open, pleasure driving you crazy.
"You don't know how hot you look riding me like this with the rain falling over your skin, your hair all wet… Eywa… I'll make you mine, tawtute. I won't let you be with anyone else ever again."
Neteyam's territorial side was showing itself, he felt possessive over you just like you were his mate already. And that's exactly what he wanted you to be. Neteyam wanted to make you his forever. He wanted to own your body and your soul, to own all of you.
Neteyam's desire for you drove him wild. You could see his animalistic side taking over him. And you loved it. You fucking loved it so much. It made your pussy clench around his cock.
"Yeah? You like how I ride this big cock, Neteyam? Did any na'vi girl ever ride you as well as I do?" You kept moving your hips and rubbing your pussy on him simultaneously. It gave you an enormous amount of pleasure since you were stimulating your clit at the same time you were feeling his cock inside of you.
"No, tawtute. You're better than any na'vi girl." He cried in pleasure "I only want your ‘ekxin little pussy from now on." (tight) "Only want you."
You grinned, devilish, and put your hand on his large neck "Who's my good boy?"
Neteyam's eyes were closed and his lips were parted as he was completely taken over by the way you were dominating him. Nobody had ever done that before, it was a new territory to him. He was used to dominating all the na'vi girls he had ever had sex with.
"I am. I am your good boy, yawne."
Damn, you got Neteyam calling you "yawne".
You chuckled "Yeah, you are, pretty boy. You're so good for me."
Riding his huge, thick cock felt like fucking Paradise. You were overcome with sheer lust. Neteyam wasn't the only one who was feeling animalistic. Humans were animals just like the na'vi and at that moment you were following your deepest instincts. You felt like a bitch in heat, all for him.
"Oh, oeyä tawtute… I'm gonna cum. Wanna cum inside your pretty, ‘ekxin pussy."
"Then cum for me, my needy, cocky boy. You're so fucking cocky but you're nothing when you're vulnerable like this under me." You laughed lowly, feeling proud of yourself for making such a mess out of that pretty alien boy
Neteyam came hard inside your pussy, a big load of his thick, warm seed painting your inner walls. It felt so good. Having his cum inside your pussy, feeling a little bit of it leaking out of your entrance because of how much he came… Fuck... your pussy started clenching around him again.
You watched as Neteyam breathed heavily under you, his chest quickly going up and down.
You didn't notice when it had happened but the rain had stopped falling.

-------------
Loving Chan was the easiest thing you've ever done in your life. In the nine months you've been together, you quickly got accustomed to him. To his presence, to his words, to his smiles, to his touches. Sometimes, you couldn't remember what life was like before him.
You liked to imagine that you'd be together for the rest of your lives, that you'd spend every waking moment with him. It has never crossed your mind that there was a possibility he'd leave, or that worse, you'd end up leaving him.
But here you were, sitting on the edge of your empty bed, your phone tightly clutched in your hand. You've just received the job offer of a lifetime, an opportunity you've been fighting, working, and dreaming of since you graduated. The only problem is that it was on the other side of the world. You'd have to leave behind the comfort of your current life, and home- Chan.
You allowed yourself a couple of seconds of bliss, where you imagined you'd get both the job and Chan. But as much as you didn't want to, you had to face the cruel reality. Your relationship wouldn't survive if you left.
You barely saw him as it is and it would be too hard to maintain a healthy long-distance relationship. It would require too much effort, something you both can't put on because of your jobs. Loving each other would become tiring, the love would turn to resentment, then hate. You couldn't allow that.
And you were in love with Chan, you adored him with every fiber of your soul. But you knew that if you stayed the 'what ifs' would haunt you. How far would you have made it? Would you have been happier had you left? You'd lash out at him and it wasn't fair, not to him, not to you.
The sound of the door opening snaps you out of your haze- it was Chan coming back from his studio. You quickly stand up, wiping away the tears that have managed to escape from your eyes. You plaster a fake smile on your face, heading out of the bedroom to meet him.
"Hi darling," Chan greets you as soon as he sees you, opening his arms wide for you to hug him. You skip towards him and sink into his touch -as if he was the sun and you've been in the cold for too long.
You've always found Chan's hugs healing, there was something about the way he wrapped his arms around you that made you feel so safe, so comforted; as if your bodies were made solely to get lost in each other. But tonight, his hug had the opposing effect, tonight it felt like the calm before the storm. The beginning of the end.
Sometime later, Chan joins you in bed after eating his dinner. He brings your body to his and you snuggle closer to him. "Honey?" he calls out in a soft voice and you hum in reply. "Are you okay? You've been quiet tonight," he asks you as his hand slowly skims up and down your arm.
You thought he didn't notice but of course he did, he has always been very attentive to you.
"Just tired," you whisper, placing a soft kiss on his bare chest.
"There is something more," he points out, leaning away to look at you properly. Your eyes well up with tears under his watchful gaze. You loved his eyes so much. "Hey, hey, don't cry baby," he shushes, his thumb gently wiping away your tears. "You'll talk to me about it when you are ready, yeah?" he coos at you, using the gentle tone he only reserved for times like these.
"Alright," you whisper back, pulling him closer to your body once again.
"You don't need to hide from me, yn. I know you like the back of my hand."
You've always found the expression "knowing someone like the back of your hand" funny. It entailed that human beings remain unchanged over the years, just like the lines stretching on our palms do.
You felt that humans were more like seasons. We know that there is an autumn, followed by a winter, a spring and finally a summer. But seasons surprise us each time they visit, and sometimes you can no longer recognize the one you are in; just like you no longer recognize yourself at some points in your life.
And tonight, Chan saw you as an eternal summer, warm and loving. But you were an ending autumn, slipping between his fingers and morphing into a cold and lonely winter. He just didn't know it yet.
-------------
You haven't slept for the past three days.
You stayed awake each night watching Chan; engraving each one of his features into your memory. He looked so peaceful sleeping in your arms, mumbling your name every now and then. He trusted you with his heart, you realized, and you were about to break it in half.
They always talk about leaving someone that had hurt you, the cruel words spitted out, the pretty vases shattered, the angry tears spilled. Chaotic breakups, a perfect end for a horrible relationship. But what about breaking up with someone you still love? How do you let go of someone who has been nothing but kind to you?
You knew that no matter how much you didn't want to, your final conversation with Chan would be a painful one. But you didn't want him to remember you that way, you wanted to leave him with a fond memory, a token of the love you both held for each other.
So, when there are only two days left until you have to give your final reply, you decide to spend one last memorable day with him.
It starts off with the breakfast you cooked for him. You brought it to him to bed and he gave you such a dazzling smile, you almost dropped the plate you were holding. You then drove to that one arcade he's been raving about, and he seemed so carefree there, you felt bile rise in your throat at the thought of what was to come.
Throughout the day, you tried your best to forget. As you ordered his favorite food, played his favorite music, fixed his jacket, fed him ice cream, and held his hand. You tried to forget that it was the last time you'd get to do it, the last time you'd get to love him.
Your final destination was the beach, Chan's favorite place before he met you. You never thought that one day, there would be an 'after you'.
You were now sitting on the sand, your back leaning on Chan's chest while you watched the sun cast down. "You know, I want to spend the rest of my sunsets with you", he whispers in your ear, placing a soft kiss on your shoulder blade. You remain silent, you couldn't tell him that this sunset was your last.
"I love you", you finally reply and he hugs you tighter to him, "I love you too."
"No, Chan. Listen, I love you. I love you so much. Whatever the future brings, don't forget it, please", you turn around, holding his hands tightly in your sweaty ones. Chan's eyebrows furrow when he looks at you, you've never been this desperate for a promise. "Promise me. Promise me you won't forget it. You won't forget that I love you", you beg, your breathing labored now.
He grabs your face between his hands, anchoring you back to him. "What is going on yn? What's wrong?" he asks.
"Just promise me, please. Just this one thing."
"I promise yn, I promise baby. Just calm down, I'm here", he reassures, burying your head in the crook of his neck. Your silent tears dampen his t-shirt and he can feel his worry deepen. He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Baby, talk to me, please. You've been distant these past few days, and now out of the blue we go out and so happen to do all of my favorite things... What's going on? You're scaring me."
This is it then, the point of no return.
"I... I got a job offer. The one I've been dreaming about", you start off, there was no use in hiding it any further.
"That's amazing baby, I'm so proud of you! We have to celebrate and tell-", he excitedly rambles and you cut him off, "No. No... Listen to me. It's... it's on the other side of the world."
"Oh...", his joy fizzles out as realization dawns on him; the pieces of the puzzle suddenly falling into place.
He can see it too now, the countdown, the beginning of the end.
"Is this why you've brought me here today? Spending all this time with me only to...", he scoffs incredulously, "only to leave me afterward?"
"I didn't know how to tell you and I- I wanted us to have a final memory together", you explain, your hands reaching out toward him. He steps back as if your touch had burned him.
"Did it ever occur to you that if you left me after this it would hurt me even more?!", he shouts, standing up and pacing furiously in front of you. "You just gave me a taste of what the rest of our lives could have been like and now you're leaving?!"
"I didn't mean to hurt you, Chan, I- I'm so sorry. You have to believe me, please. It wasn't my intention!" you cry out. You never wanted it to end like this.
Chan takes a deep breath, running his hand through his hair angrily. He doesn't look at you as he mutters a cold "let's go home."
The car ride back is tense, you don't know what to say, not when he's this angry, not when he's driving. When you arrive, he stares off into the distance, his jaw clenching every two seconds. "Go without me. I need time to myself," he tells you.
You oblige, understanding where he's coming from. As soon as you close the door of the car he drives off, leaving you standing all alone on the sidewalk.
-----------
You are curled around yourself in a ball, the pillow beneath you is wet from your unstopping stream of tears. It's been a few hours since Chan has left; few hours less in the time you have left together.
The front door opens and you shut your eyes closed. You remain as still as possible when Chan enters your bedroom and lays right next to you. "I know you're awake yn", he whispers and you open your eyes, turning around to look at him in the dim light.
"Did you eat? I left you dinner in the kitchen", you say in a quiet voice and he nods faintly. "I saw. Thank you."
The mere centimeters between your bodies stretch farther and farther, turning into a vast ocean you can't seemingly cross. Chan can clearly feel it now- he's lost a war he never wanted to partake in.
"I will miss your dinners and the notes you wrote with them. I've kept all of them in a-", his voice cracks, "in a box under the bed."
"I know", you whisper, voice hoarse. "I saw it one day when I was cleaning. You even kept the flower I gave you on our first date," you choke out and he smiles sadly.
"I wanted to show them to our kids one day."
His words linger in the air, suffocating you. You can no longer hold it within- the sobs begging to come out, "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry", you cry and he pulls you to him instantly.
"I know", he pats your head down and you cry harder.
"I never- I never wanted to hurt you. I swear, I swear."
"I know. I know, honey."
"And I love you, and I'm sorry- I'm sorry that it's not enough to make me stay."
"It's okay, I'm not mad at you, don't apologize."
You pull away, leaning in forward to kiss him goodbye. Your salty tears mingle with his, and you pour it all out in this kiss- your love, your pain, your remorse. You can feel his desperation as his lips meet yours for the last time, a part of him wanting to scream at you that you could have this for the rest of your life. That you could still make it work. But he doesn't. Instead, he settles on meeting your lips in a heart wrenching kiss, trying his hardest to make it last; as if he could live off the feeling you give him alone.
When you finally pull away, you gently wipe his tears away with the sleeve of your hoodie and he does the same. "Let's just act as if nothing's happening. Sleep as usual, yeah?" he says as he nuzzles his nose with yours softly.
"Will you be here when I wake up?"
"I will". He won't. "Good night darling, I love you."
"Good night, Channie. I love you more."
-------
The sun streaming through your curtains wakes you up. You pat the spot beside you only to find it cold and empty, save for a letter carefully placed on the bed. You quickly open it, hot tears already blurring your vision.
"My love,
You wanted to give me a memory to remember you by, and you did. It wasn't our time at the beach, I'm afraid. It was you fast asleep in my arms last night. Those are the moments I fell in love with you in, quiet peaceful times where I could simply exist and admire you. I used to hate the fact that I couldn't sleep but I no longer minded it with you, it meant I could stare at you as much as I wanted. I suppose I'd have to find something else to do now.
My love, those past months with you have been the happiest of my life. And I see you everywhere now, I see you in the stars and sunsets, I see you in pretty gardens and in all the places we went to together. Loving you has been healing, loving you has been soft, loving you has been peaceful. And I wouldn't lie to you; I was ready to beg you to stay. It scared me to think of a world where I wouldn't be with you anymore.
But I realized I couldn't ask that of you, it was that passion you held within you that made me admire you in the first place. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you dimmed your fire just for me. So, wherever you go, I hope you shine brightly, my beautiful star. I hope you are fulfilled and I hope that waking up every day feels like a gift to you.
I suppose that no matter how much I wanted to, we weren't meant to be in this lifetime. But I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. I'd go through the pain of losing you if it meant I'd get to love you at some point in my life.
You've told me yesterday that you loved me, but it wasn't enough for you to stay. So don't worry, my yn, I love you and it's enough for me to let you go.
Yours, Chan.
P.S: I took the box with me and in a way, our memories with it. But our love will remain despite everything. I hope you'll always feel it too".
You hug the letter tightly to your chest, painful sobs racking through your body.
That was the last time you ever heard from Chan.

I wish I could fully escape the alphabet show on Twitter but that’s hard when I have moots still talking about it. Currently on Twitter and this post says “say something BAD about this show (hsmtmts) and the fact that so many ppl are saying Gicky stans just give me a sense of joy. Like I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees how toxic they are as human beings. One person joined and then left a week later because of how terrible they are. I looked through all the quotes and of course I saw people hating Portwell but there wasn’t many people saying the stans SPECIFICALLY which is good cause that screams that Portwell’s weren’t too much of a problem. Some of the people saying Gicky stans weren’t even full fan accounts, they just stated their opinion on Gicky one time and all hell broke loose for them as they got attacked by all the toxic fan pages. Feels great not having to deal with them anymore although my timeline is about to be hell when it releases. Hopefully after a month or two it’ll die down and I’ll never have to see this show again
I won't say every single one of them is, because I know I wouldn't want it if they generalized about pws, and because i also know a couple rinas with whom i can have an actual conversation with (love you if you see this lol), but my experience with 90% of the rina fandom has been negative. They either call me racist or mysoginistic or stupid or any other name for not stanning Gina to the end.
I know the pw fandom (at least on tumblr) has died down for 2 reasons. 1, obviously pw is no longer together and many people were disappointed, but also 2, because the rinas bullied them out of here. It's not cool to bully people when you don't agree with them, or call them names for not liking your fav (which is valid w/o a reason, but it's also valid WITH a reason, which i know every pw who dislikes Gina and/or Ricky HAS a reason. And btw, most pw stans are also Gina stans, idk where y'all get the idea that we don't like Gina).
I always say this when I answer these types of asks but i'll say it again:
BULLYING ISN'T OKAY NEITHER FOR RINAS OR PORTWELLS.
I'm so sick and tired of this fandom being so divided that we even drive new people away with our stupid ship wars and online fights. It's honestly embarrassing for all of us who are still active in this fandom, and I include myself because I know sometimes I contribute to the ship wars that drive people away, although I really try not to.
I try to be a positive person, even when i'm critiquing the show for things they could've done better/things i think kinda sucked, i try to stay in my lane and not shame anyone who DOES like the things I dislike about it. I must admit, though, it's very, very hard to be positive when i'm constantly being sent anonymous hate. I know a couple more accounts who just stopped posting or closed their asks because it was getting ridiculous how much bs they had to deal with. Which again, I find embarrassing.
I wish we could all just enjoy this show without tearing each other apart. I wish we could be one of those fandoms that's known on the internet for just being super chill (The Lunar Chronicles fandom, The Dragon Prince fandom, the Renegades fandom, etc).
Most of us go online because we want to be a part of a community that loves and enjoys the same things we do, so why can't we just be that? Love and respect each other despite having very different thoughts and ships and fav characters.

Lime for the poll runners’ ask game?
Lime -> participant(s) you’re rooting for the most?
i don't want to sway the votes so i won't do any propaganda for them after the poll starts BUT it's Wu Zetian/Li Shimin/Gao Yizhi from Iron Widow i just love the way their relationship develops so much and as someone whos unable to actually pick up a book and focus on it, the fact that i read iron widow in 4 days is amazing im still proud of that as silly as it is
yknow what ill use this as an opportunity to ramble about them askdgakdjk spoilers ahead but ill try to keep the major stuff out
for context the book has pacific rim style mechas, but instead of being drift compatible or whatever its usually a male pilot and his concubine whose life force he usually drains in order to pilot the thing, but theres a LOT of propaganda that makes girls want to be concubines, or families might wanna send their daughters for the money. im simplifying it a LOT especially cause theres more info u only learn later on as zetian herself finds out but anyway
at the start of the book zetian and yizhi are besties who obviously have feelings for each other. zetian is poor while hes very rich so their friendship is kind of a secret and they meet in the woods which i think is cute, point is its p clear zetian tries to mantain a distance, not allowing herself to admit her feelings. for reasons i wont say zetian decided to become a concubine to one of the like bigger more badass guys even if she doesnt believe the propaganda and knows she might die, she only tells yizhi this the day before
he shows up at her house the next day begging her family to let him marry her?????? which is sweet because he wants to protect her but that isnt gonna work bestie sorry she's a woman w a mission
so anyway she goes to the concubine thing and shes surprisingly powerful "for a girl" which yeah thats a super common trope but shes so much more than just the strong protagonist. shes extremely powerful in every sense of the word imo and i love her so much and i wish the world hadnt been so cruel that she had to become so strong. but anyway the guy she wants to pilot w picks her. MAJOR SPOILER they have to pilot the mecha on day 1 cause they're under attack and uhhh she kills him lol lmao she drains her life force instead which supposedly is UNHEARD OF
so they cant just kill her off cause that'd look bad instead they send her to be the concubine of the strongest guy (all of his concubines die after 1 fight) and thats Li Shimin my beloved my little meow meow hes looked down on and kinda treated like an animal cause hes a criminal and the only reason he gets to be a pilot is his powerful qi. anyway shes forced to live w him and turns out hes just a lil guy. like hes very big and scary looking but hes just a tired man pls he needs a break. she fucking survived piloting w him which nobody expected. so now theres a lotta stuff going on i wont get into but some ppl arent happy w this duo cause they're both very powerful and not exactly happy to serve. and Shimin has a drink problem.
IN ENTERS GAO YIZHI hes back babey!!! and he decides to help shimin w his alcoholism. its funny cause when they first meet his crush on li shimin is so fucking obvious zetian is like "huh i always suspected he liked guys too" but li shimin is just pissed cause this is the guy who wants to make him stop drinking
theres like 1 moment of jealousy that i can remember when li shimin realizes zetian and yizhi have a thing going on but its settled very quickly and they all kiss.
back to the drift compatible thing: at one point in the final battle zetian and shimin need more power and yizhi literally lends them his qi (its extremely rare for a third person to help) and its beautiful and they are so in love and i cant wait for the sequel
idk if any of that is coherent i kinda stopped thinking and just typed sorry for rambling on ur ask im just very passionate about them i love them so much i love iron widow so much i love xiran jay zhao so much (the writer) (you might know them from the live action mulan analysis video that went viral back when that movie came out) (check out their yt channel)

Name : Simran
Sun sign : Taurus ♉
Moon sign : Leo ♌
Venus sign : Gemini ♊
I choose : 3- Them about you.
Context about this person:
His initials : E C
Sun sign : Aquarius ♒
I'm 19 (f) and he's 22 (m). We met on an app (not a dating app) and initially our convo was just casual but later it escalated and we started sexting. This was my first time being on any such app/sexting. I've shared some pics (not exactly nudes) with him but nothing beyond that. He got cheated on in a relationship by someone he thought was the one for him, and I've seen how his views about relationships have somewhere been affected even if subtly. He's single but sexts other girls too He's shared few things with me, where he works, his fam but nothing deep which is understandable. I've known him for 7 ish months now and it was fine earlier but from the last 3 or so months I've realised how much I like him (I don't wanna say love but I won't deny there's an urge to say that.) We've not had any 'serious' convo but I've expressed my liking towards him and that I have a crush on him. He lives in a different country and I don't even know if we'll ever meet? But we're both adults and it's not impossible either. I've asked him if he would date me to which he says yes but I think that's not cus he likes me but as a 'why not I'm attracted to you so I can give it a shot' kinda. I recently started talking to another guy (same country but different places, we plan on meeting if things work out. The guy likes me but I've told him how I'm not ready for anything yet although I won't deny I do have a crush on him.) and told EC about him, to which he said "congratulations" and I could see him being distant with me but I couldn't handle it. There's some jealousy but idk if it's coming from a place cus he likes me or cus ofc we're sexting partners and friends so..? I wonder what's on his mind.
I'd say I like him and if there's a possibility for us, I'll wait even though I realise it's stupid cus it's all online and I understand the problems with it but some guidance would help me get over this situation.
Tbf the only reason why I want this reading is because it will help me bring some conclusion to the situation that I constantly think about. I understand that tarot reading is not the ultimatum but I'd still be grateful for the guidance. I'd like to know where this situation might lead me in the future because this is the second time I've felt so much for a person and I really wonder if it's worth putting that much energy into it? Last time I did it, I lost hopes for love to a certain extent.
Gif for us :
I can imagine us being like this. Me sharing about my life with him and him comforting me cus I'm his friend and he cares for me. He'd be so close to me but not close enough.
Tumblr media
Gif for you :
Although I'm new here, I get the vibe of you being mature, kind but straightforward. The blog itself is very chill and I like it. Someone I'd definitely listen to and ask for advices from. Wouldn't let them be dependent on you but still guide them.
Tumblr media
Hello Simran, let's dive into your reading, shall we?
First of all, what comes to his feelings for you, he isn't trying to push you away. He feels like letting you have your way. In general his heart space isn't much open, but with you he has lowered his defences. However, he is not fighting for this connection. He feels like things are changing and he doesn't know what you two will become.
He sees you as an opportunity. He does find you to have some good qualities in you. He knows you are offering him a door to open. But the connection in itself doesn't seem to mean much to him. He only sees it as two people having a small talk. Just chatting. And he doesn't intend to do anything. He just will be who he is and just be there and people know, where to find him, if they are interested. But he does want to be wanted! He just doesn't feel like giving anything nor wants to make changes. On top of that, he wants to keep you a secret! He wants you two to be an online thing. If you have someone else, he doesn't want them to know about him. Also, the cards are saying he likes to "watch", as in he likes his eyes to be entertained 👀🫠
Action-wise, it seems he is connecting with multiple people. He wants people to compete over him, to fight for him and for his attention. The strongest shall be the winner. There is a sense of free will, like he is saying it's your choice, if you choose him, if you want him, if you get involved. He is saying he is not responsible for anything. Also, he really takes pleasure in everyone trying so hard to have him. It makes him feel ever so powerful. He likes it, how everyone catches feelings for him, how everyone wants to have a new beginning in love with him. He loves to see, what each of the females can come up with it: tactics, communication, etc. He enjoys the competition, how everyone is trying so hard to be chosen by him and how everyone wants to get through to him. And in his eyes, you are one of the females, one of the participants in this love competition.
ps. feedback is always appreciated.

golden trio relationship hcs!
fandom - harry potter
pairing - ron weasley x gn!reader, harry potter x gn!reader, hermione granger x gn!reader
requested? - no
summary - hcs for the golden trio in a relationship
warnings - may be a bit ooc, slight cursing, angst if you squint, vomit-worth fluff, reader bullying ron, house neutral reader, they/them prns
as always, let me know if i missed any !
Tumblr media
ron weasley
- it was kinda like love at first sight
- on his end
- you guys ran into each other in the hall
- more like he ran into u
- he was in love, u were pissed off
- for the rest of the day (and the rest of his life) he couldn't help but js stare at u when he saw u
- so much that hermione had to pull him away
- y'all probably met in 3rd yr
- but soon enough u two became friends
- don't ask me how, it js happened
- anyways, once y'all finally started dating this man was physically and mentally unable to keep his hands off of u
- PDA to the MAX
- he's always holding ur hand, having his arm around ur waist, literally always touching u in some way
- his love languages are most definitely physical touch and words of affirmation
- he's one for normal pet names, nothing too sappy
- like babe, dear, love, etc
- but certain pet names from u !?!?
- my love, darling, pretty boy
- he's literally giggling and kicking his feet
- he becomes a literal tomato
- when he does something absolutely stupid, u can't help but laugh
"stop laughing"
"that was one of the most idiotic things i have ever seen u do"
"i hate u"
- there were some moments where he genuinely needed comfort
- like in gof when he was upset with harry, u were there to comfort him
- jealousy problems
- he feels like he isn't rlly good enough yk??
- he thinks that u'll leave him for someone better
- but when he hears (from u personally) that u only love him, he starts to feel better
- anyways, as you can tell, i adore this little shit
- i js wanted to add that he reminds me of a weasel
Tumblr media
harry potter
- for him it actually took awhile for him to realize he was in love
- you guys got together in 4th yr
- after the dragon thing in the triwizard tournament (i haven't watched gof in so long)
- anyways,
- you were congratulating him, and then he js like
- kissed u
- broski was shocked with himself
"omgomgomgomg"
"harry."
"omgomgomgomgomgomgomg"
"HARRY."
"omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg"
"HAROLD JAMES POTTER."
- basically how that went down
- ANYWAYS
- sometimes he'll js look at u and think "omg that's MY s/o"
- hopeless romantic fr
- love language is acts of service and quality time
- he loves when u fix his glasses, fix his tie, make sure he eats, etc
- he js didn't get that with the dursleys
- and he'll love it if u js sit in the common room w him, let him lay his head in ur lap while u read
- js spending time w u ??
- it's got him twirling his hair, giggling, kicking his feet
- at first u were completely oblivious to his crush
- then he kissed u so
- ANYWAYS
- he's such a silly little guy
- love him too
- definitely like a dog person but horrified of dogs at the same time
Tumblr media

hey, sorry, uh, just to start this off, i don't really think i'm "enough"? I DONT MEAN THAT in a way that pities myself i mean. okay, its not like i lived in an unlovable environment growing up, but i mostly lived alone as a child because me parents are workaholics, and whenever my family is at home they always treated me like some kinda burden and that if i dont do something that they like theyd hate me. theyre actually good people but, yeah.
now the thing is, i have a significant other. its not my first relationship, though i guess it is, but i had someone before and we liked each other a lot for years, but he didnt wanna label anything and it kinda fizzled when he ghosted me, so i guess this is my first official relationship? idk, but anyway
im a very anxious person because of past family stuff and then the past "relationship" and now, my current s/o is so?? loving??? IDK HE TAKES CARE OF ME A LOT and he talks to me about things that make me anxious and he calms me down really well and ??? i really didnt expect this from him when i liked him, hes a goofy person so i didnt rely on him to be caring and ik thats kinda weird of me but i dont know what to do? he says things about wanting us to last long because he really likes me and all that and ive always taken it as a sort of joke because im a lot and i really dont think anyone can handle all of my me-ness with mental health and just, me in general, so ive always joked with saying things like whwnever he says he likes me i say, "for now" and things like that
a few days ago he asked me why i do that and if there was a problem, does he make me uncomfortable w it, etc, and i told him that there isnt and im just wired like this and he??? told me to trust him and that hed take care of my worries alongside me and im????? I DONT KNOW I FEEL LIKE IM EXPERIENCING LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME which is weird cause its not like i dont have friends who like me, and i love them! its just that
i think very rationally about things and that, i dont understand why he wants to be with me? dont get me wrong, ive asked him and he did give me reasons why, but i just dont think im worth all this trouble hes gettingggg i dont know its a me problem bshfbfnf he could vwry much be with someone else i know that, and its like hes settling for less when hes with me bshdhdjsjfjfj i like him i really do im just not used to being loved and its making me anxious im scared that one day he'll leave cause im too much and then thatd convince me that i really am unlovable cause if he couldnt even handle me, who can, yknow
i guess im just really a coward and i should probably just enjoy things as they come but aaa i dont know
thank u for this, i just really cant compartamentalize my thoughts about this its kinda hard to wrap my brain around the fact that someone likes me genuinely and not in exchange for something because ive always lived like that; a barter system type of love and now i get to just sit back and ??? be loved regardless of what shit i do???? i dont understand
I honestly think that the healthiest thing you can do is make peace with the fact that this isn't your decision to make. You can (and should) be honest with him about what he's committing to, and why you're doubting this and feeling insecure and unworthy. But once he has that information on hand, whether you're worthy of his love as you are is HIS decision to make. And the best thing you can do is respect his own ability to decide this instead of fighting his choice.

Re: friend again. No TWs just long
I think, and I'm just armchair psychoanalyzing here, the main issue I have w her is that she doesn't seem to be able to accept a grey area between "nothing is ever my fault" and "everyone hates me bc I mess everything up."
For example like. W our shitty roommate, he was shitty absolutely and he escalated things but like. She also was shitty to him? Like she would be aggressive or rude sometimes because of something aggressive or rude he did but sometimes also just in. Anticipation of him being aggressive/rude. And it's like. Can you not. And when I would confront her about it (usually framed in a way of "please just let him be stupid sometimes, not everything stupid he says needs a response or to be corrected bc I literally just want to have a good movie night" or whatever) she would accuse me of "taking his side." Which is what he would also accuse me of. And it's like I'm not taking any sides I just want to have a fun night watching a movie/show/etc without a fight about something dumb. And then later on after he had escalated things way too far she came to me to be like "oh I understand now you weren't taking his side" and it's like. Ok. Thanks. But do u realize u were also a part of the problem sometimes?
And like. It's also hard to know that she's very irrational for mental illness reasons while also knowing that no amount of me telling her she's irrational is going to make her less so. Like, she says that the shitty roommates think she's aggressive and hate her or whatever and I can't be like well. You have been aggressive. Like she threw a fit at the idea that W wanted a coffee table in the living room and then also brought in a huge shelf that blocks the window without asking. And she's like "they think ur just a neutral bad presence" or whatever and it's like yea ur correct. Probably bc I don't bother them. And she seems to think that the roommates are going to be aggressive to her when they move out and whatever and it's like. All evidence points to the contrary. Every time they've even so much as seen us they've avoided us entirely. So why would they suddenly 180 change their tune moving out. The only times they've been aggressive has been when she was aggressive.
And it's like. There can be a grey area here. You have fucked up you will continue to fuck up but fucking up doesn't have to mean that everything is ruined now? And I think that's a big problem like. She fucks up and then decides fuck it it's over and acts accordingly and makes things worse for herself.
Also she rly rly rly clings to me which is both triggering and annoying and a big pet peeve. I need to know my friends etc will be fine without me bc I do not have the energy to devote to them 24/7. Even romantic partners, I can't be the center of their whole life it just annoys me. And she just rly needs to hang w me all the time and have me validate her and thinks I'm the coolest person on earth or all she needs and it's like girl get some friends pls. But she can't make friends for some reason, I think bc she thinks she just needs me? Like she knows that regardless of whatever she can come back to me and it's like...not rly! No u can't! And I'm establishing those boundaries STRONG lately and I know she's mega hurt by that but like. Whatever. If she rly cares abt our friendship or w/e she's gonna need to learn MY needs as well. Bc I do kinda feel sometimes like I'm just a stuffed animal of a friend. I'm reliable and always there and always accommodating and like. I have been! But that's a limited time offer! And only renews if you're reciprocal about it!
And like. IDK I would consider moving if I didn't think this apartment was perfect. And I think I'm still friends with her like she has the potential to be a good friend she just rly needs some fucking therapy!!! Like she was in therapy before (and it had to end due to reasons outside her control) and was fine. But now she's just IDK despairing instead of trying to find somebody. And it's like. I've offered to show her how to get a case worker to do all the work. I've shown her how to find therapists. You're 37 girl!!! You're a big girl you gotta get ur own shit done!!! I'm a little over half ur age how come I'm more adult than you!!!
I'm hoping having two people move in who are like. Rational and adult and "neutral" will help her realize her behavior is mentally ill. She does know she's mentally ill n all but she doesn't seem aware the extent to which her experiences are not just. The human condition. Like when she left a previous event (a big like. Club night thing) bc she was like "I just felt like everyone there hated me" and I'm like "oh so anxiety" and she's like "what" bc she somehow thought that was a normal thing to think? Like this is a huge dance party at night in the relative dark w tons of people nobody is paying attention enough to anyone in particular to hate you.

2/23-24/2024
friday - saturday
not excited for tomorrow.
and this problem song is not going as well as i would like, idk the new tone i came up with just isn't it i think but idk what to do for it rn. the distortion just kinda gets too bassy w/ how i'm doing things rn, it's weird. serum does seem to act better, i'm trying out massive for this, maybe too much of an experiment, to beeeeeee honest. it's not that i dislike the sound but it's soo harsh and percussive, lacks a lot of tonal characteristics, which makes it hard to hear the low end stuff when that plays thru the guitars, it's instead kind of this clicky chugging almost, which sounds good, it's like, maybe i keep this as a layer now, but it's also not the ideal tone for articulating the riffs.
errands day was also like, too much, the bank thing just has to wait cuz everyone was too busy for me to do a walk in. so dumb imo but whatever. i'll be going to the bank on the 26th. the rest of the day was exhausting, being in the car w/ my gf's mom and her brother, both just like, going at eachother sort of. and then it's like, idk. it's just too much, idk how their mom is like that, she just kind of goads people into starting shit it feels like honestly. but it doesn't matter.
or it does, it sucks, i just can't do anything.
honestly, today was just so draining.
i think i got the guitar to sound good, it just needed to be panned wider, crazy how that works, now you can hear the tonal / musical parts of the sound, it's also mixing more w/ that other tone as a layer, now it's something really interesting.
i also saw some interesting stuff online tonight, for some reason, today a lot of people seem extremely miserable, on twitter, that's not the interesting thing but on reflecting the interesting thing is less interesting than that maybe.
the interesting thing had to do w/ bullying but i guess it starts from a strange point/other person's tweet, which is that zoomers don't ever see bullying anymore, and idk, maybe that's true, i hope so, but i think i count as a zoomer and basically, when this one person says that victims of bullying are 'anomalies', it should be observed that every school has 'anomalies' and some anomalies really are unique to that school or whatever, for whatever reasons, certain kinds of people, maybe especially bad fights for (x) reasons, and some anomalies are just certain types of people appearing, and they're usually in every school. i wasn't bullied because i basically cleared a certain bar, and maybe that bar doesn't exist anymore, but i did see a guy get mercilessly bullied basically, his deal was that he was maybe delusional, maybe eccentric, he'd say he was king from tekken and shadow the hedgehog, and kids would mess with him. to get him to not fight people i'd have to intervene and tell him that there were chaos emeralds in another direction and that'd get people to lose interest because he really would turn around and run off to look for them. this was in highschool, in gym. it feels odd to talk about now because i want to have not been inside 'boy's gym' or i don't want to admit it as part of my existence, like, not as a source of dysphoria or shame, i never participated, i just wish it didn't have to be there at all, it feels weird, but it was true. as it is, i'd see people who were mostly normal, turn somewhat vicious when around that kid. basically, that period of time in each day seemed carved out as a sort of bloodletting period for some kind of excess of negativity, at least that seemed to be how it was imagined. i saw another weird kid get bullied, he was more normal than the guy who believed he was shadow the hedgehog, and for that he was bullied less, but he still seemed eccentric enough to be a target.
obviously this is all a single account and not any kind of sample, but it feels i guess strange to say that bullying is an anomaly at this point. it might just have been better worked into sociality/there's different means people go about this. what i saw was very basic, teasing, taking people's stuff, throwing it in the bathroom. even things like continually asking other men things like 'you have a boner man? are you gay?', weird shit, obviously, i can't imagine it's like that anymore. it's not that i think it's human nature or something, i hate that kind of thinking, but i think basically school tends to breed a kind of cruelty and by its hierarchic nature people are going to tend to work to exclude in some way, since that becomes the way you 'person' yourself. but maybe not. idk. i am not a teen anymore and better for it, it just is a weird thing to talk/think about. it also feels narrowed by the places these discourses occur, cascading comments confirming/denying, anything that builds to anything larger in the threads or whatever just seems a bit like, idk. something about it, i can never take it like some people do, it always feels like i have some weird issue with it, maybe that's me, not just the delivery but the content itself, as well as the delivery ofc. it's weird. it's not pointless but i don't think i even need to respond to the thread i was thinking of at all, it's not even the thing i take issue w/ in this case. although i guess it references a book i dislike (theory of a young boy or whateverrr(i need to get back to theory of the young girl soon as well, maybe after cybernetic hypothesis)).
the song definitely is sounding better now, i think i need to figure out how to cut some lows to get better definition in them, there's something a bit too, idk, it's the sound thunder makes as it reverberates out, kinda, maybe i remove some of the low cutting in the spring reverb pre distortion. and then what idk, maybe cut around 600hz? hard to say where that sound's at. and maybe i need to do something with the bass so it doesn't cut that range in the guitars? idk. strange stuff, to get that low end to bite more, but it'd be worth it.
i'll also have to figure this all out tomorrow since i need to sleep soon. tomorrow i also want to like. look at pictures of pretty clothes or something too, from that forum or something, surface more junk or whatever, it'd be cute.
i went and looked now actually, before bed, found some really cool stuff from china:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
really crazy stuff, almost psychotically 2007, some of this. but my fav is of course the crazy retro sci fi 60s glam thing, it's so cool to me. i lurveee it.
also, a weird thing from tonight, i was walking around where i grew up, or 'walking' on google street view, it let me go back to when they first got pics of our house for that, in 2009. really strange seeing the place i grew up, all of that neighborhood, in 2009 vs. now. it's palpably sad and there's a real sense of like, what used to be, when i see the house from years ago, it used to have green trim, and be cute, the trees were healthier, my mom's car didn't get stolen, her happy attachment to independence was still there, soon to disappear. i loved that car so much. there was something out for trash that i remember always being in the back yard, this pool ladder, it made you itchy if you touched it, cuz it was just cheap and awful plexiglass. it felt weird seeing that for the first time in 15 years. i was 10-11 then, there were insane things happening to me that point of my life. i was absorbing too much, getting too online already by that point, and everything.
anyway, i need to sleep, so
byebye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think s4 Steve kinda made sense. Imagine your first real gf tells you she loves you one day and the next calls you bullshit and then basically admits that your relationship is based on a lie. I think Steve flirting and dating around but never truly committing to anyone is him being terrified of letting himself go or be vulnerable. And then he's together with Nancy for the first time in a year, who let him believe it's all his fault, but now that he has changed, maybe he could get back to her. Even tho she hurt him, she was also the first person who saw his real side, plus being talked into persuing that relationship by his best friends certainly had an impact. I don't doubt he dreams of having a family with her because he never got closure from the breakup in s2 and still views her in rose-colored light rather than for who she truly is. Still I want more of him outside of romance. I want him in leading position because of his physical abilities (being a lifeguard and basketball team leader) and his survival instincts. Steve isn't stupid and I hate the Duffers for making him too dumb to get into college because his main reason for not going in s2 was so he can stay around for Nancy and protect her. He would still want to be in Hawkins for Dustin. He is also confused what he wants to do with his life so that could have been a better route to "loserfy" his character instead of making him incredibly stupid and the butt of all jokes.
Dustin and Steve hurt my soul in s4, I don't think Eddie was created for being the new Steve tho. He was created because the Duffers wanted to tap into the santanic panic, but ultimately, because Eddie being hunted was not because of DnD but because Chrissys body was found in his home. I agree he died a Steve death to give Dustin trauma. But also Steve had no reason to die in s4 so someone else had to give emotional impact on Dustin. The Duffers only view losing someone as the ultimate trauma, being tortured or seeing literal monsters is not enough to give characters a more emotional arc to overcome the things they saw.
Robin is not that different (her real personality shined through at the ebd of s3 already), I think she behaves in another way because she is comfortable around Steve and his friends. She doesn't have to mask or hide herself that much anymore. However, her wanting to be bff with Nancy in a way that made her look pathetic was ooc for sure. I discussed it with others but because the show has limited time we have to rush through stuff and complicated character relationships are cut short because of the need to get everyone to like each other so they can fight the overall evil. The Duffers are allergic to giving Nancy any growth. Other characters have to kiss her ass 24/7.
Jonathan idk he didn't have a real personality since becoming Nancy's boyfriend. In s4 I liked his arc? Sorta you can clearly tell he self medicates with weed to ease his anxieties. Like his entire thing is being the provider for his family. Will and El slowly grow up and don't need him as much, it's fucking with him. Plus, Nancy is not getting his financial problems, he simply doesn't know how to deal with it. He isn't a confrontational person so all of that plus general trauma from his dad and the past few years take a toll on him. And then he meets Argyle who is so chill and gets him weed and for a few hours everything is okay so he just is constantly high because it helps.
Sorry this was kinda long feel free to ignore lmao
The Duffers are allergic to giving Nancy any growth. Other characters have to kiss her ass 24/7.
And that is SOOOOOO true baefy
I think I agree w pretty much everything except the stancy stuff. I see what u mean however I think at it’s core it’s lazy writing and the writers simply don’t care enough to explore Steve’s character (or like 95% of the characters) any further than romantic interest w his *~soulmate~* Nancy.
Also unfortunately I don’t think Robin has anything to do w being more herself I think that maybe she is just played by a not great actress 😭

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.
For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell
fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one
i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft
that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you
tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again
as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)
hear me out hear me out, red hood stans 🤝 nightwing stans t h i g h s
holy shit yes.
SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe
superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'
does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom
it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.
I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?
as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)
somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.
and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!
babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence
babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to
JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT
again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song
The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian
oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag
soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"
i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage
Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?
don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)
What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk
stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.
This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it
Tumblr media
This is canon now @nctxrejects
lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out
idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family
bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another
I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.
yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.
Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings
smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn
Duke was adopted by Bruce?
not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?
True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live
true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?
apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome
ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.
ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut
lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash
oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man
while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.
dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie
magnum hot take
hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth
thank you 😘🌷 (@spacebarsidecar)
why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???
what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones
oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no
I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked
yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends
"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 😬 It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years
i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.
BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them
lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.
I am in love with your posts your honour thank you
omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?
The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasn’t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john
Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian
yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.
tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.
and what about it?
when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST
oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat
Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes
lmao i do too
I need you to know that “Bruce Wayne had frosted tips” is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time it’s so galaxy brained. you’re right and you should say it
he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.
you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank
babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)
ruh roh i think i’m about to add “so not yeehaw” every time i don’t like something
that's a very good vocabulary upgrade
somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like “oh you fucked up i’m never gonna forget this”
steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.
Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious
babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks
In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97
lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)
You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.
bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers
How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?
horrible, next question.
I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid
yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'
I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.
superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time
bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)
lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)
Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje
he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'
I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??
i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way
SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed
'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'
i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam
fair enough

Gwevin headcanons
'Cause I'm bored
Tumblr media
Should I start from uaf? Idk
Actually, I don't think I have a lot of headcanons about them but let's see
Let's get start with that episode about Michael
I feel like Kevin was more jealous in that episode because he wasn't the kind of guy who declare himself to the ones and thought he wasn't good enough for Gwen. See Michael being him completely opositive made him feel insecure;
All thought he would never admit it;
But Gwen doesn't even care, she likes him the way he is;
Specially the way he loves his car more than he love her;
In the beginning of their relationship, she rather to keep it hide from her parents because she knew the way Natalie is;
But when it started to get serious, she couldn't hide it anymore;
So she organized a dinner;
Can we just talk about how would Kevin been so nervous to get to know Gwen's parents?
Frank don't realky mind, he kinda likes Kevin;
But no Natalie.
She thinks Gwen could find someone better than him;
And she told it to Gwen, which Kevin end up listening to it and felt really sad;
After that day, he stay without talking with Gwen during a week because "she deserved someone better than him";
When she finally found him, they had a long talk about it;
When Gwen asked him to go to prom with her, he went really nervous;
I mean what would her rich classmates think about him?
Would them have the same thoughts that Natalie?
Hopefully, he never knew it;
Thanks to Ben and his cute babies;
Y'all remember that they end up dancing in the middle of nothing? Well it took more time than they thought it would, which made Gwen comeback home latest that was promise;
Which made her be grounded;
Kevin felt guilty for it and decided that he would tell Gwen's parents that it was all his fault;
But she told him to do not do it because it would make things worse;
I can't help but imagine how Kevin was happy in the episode where Gwen goes with him to the car fair;
I don't feel like he ever though that Gwen wasn't try to help him so she'll be the only girl who would love him;
It was most like his own thoughts;
When he cheated on, I don't have how save him;
Bad Kevin, Bad;
But I remember how Gwen felt so sad with it. I bet she didn't cried or told her parents about it because she still loved him and did not wanted Natalie to be talking and talking about how right she was;
But Gwen kinda started to think about it;
Then they both talked and solved their problems;
Relationship goals;
After Agregor's fight, Kevin started to feel insecure again, that's why he end up moving Gwen away;
But let's be honest, he still missed her a lot as much as she did;
Parenthesis to say that Cooper only looked like a Blonde version of Kevin because he use to have a crush on Gwen and thought Kevin was the kind of guy she likes so if he looks like him she would like him too;
From: femboy to: blonde Kevin
Now omniverse which I'm currently watching;
Can we just talk about how he moved in with Gwen when she started college;
Gwen parents thought she would move into a republic in the next city, so they keep on sending money to her so she could focus on her studies;
But she actually rented and apartment with Kevin;
And kinda forced him to do a supplementary;
Which she didn't want to but end up doing it for her;
And he graduated the whole basic education (from elementary to high school);
But we know Kevin is not that kind of guy who would do college;
As a couple living together, almost like a marriage, they money Gwen's parents send wasn't enough for the two of them;
Which made Gwen start to look at a job;
But Kevin said no. Now that he was done with his studies he told Gwen to focus on college that he would work for the twonof them as long as Gwen studied for the two of them;
It was really cute tho;
Had this time when Gwen thought she was pregnant (which she wasn't) got into despair;
Gwen was like: I didn't finished my college;
And Kevin was like: wtf I'm going to have a child????
But then they find out it was just an error and Gwen wasn't pregnant so they relaxed
I'll add more during my watch of omniverse

I just read that you didn't like how the snk manga ended up. Where about in the story did you start disliking it? Like was the main ending in 139 the biggest problem or was it the final arcs like I've heard others saying?
I am still confused myself how I feel about 139 Im just interested to see where you felt like the manga wasn't for you anymore. 😅
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: hhhHHHhh first of all, I want to make clear that I am no writer but as a media consumer like everyone else, I am able to assimilate situations and stories, and if I see something that doesn't work from my PoV that doesn't mean I think I can do better myself..if that was how the world works, many critics would be unemployed 😅 My opinion isn't even professional anyway so anyone is free to disagree and leave their comment if they want to talk but know that I won't engage in any further conversation that takes more than a couple of mins because I'm only answering a question here and come to have a good time gjdfkg.
Now to the answer hmmmm, is not exactly just the ending but more like a progressive thing ( I assume that's what you mean with the latest arcs?).
It kind of started with the serum bowl for me actually ahahah idk if that's too behind 😂. Fandom's reaction aside, the stage Erwin and Armin were brought into was way too convenient to give Erwin the farewell he had (which doesn't mean I didn't love it btw, his interactions w Levi and hanji made me cry) and a bit too overdone to prove once more how much Eren loves his friends. From that point I was like "mmmm ok it was a risky move to bring them to the rooftop out of nowhere like a ring fight, with this new random bootlicker guy on the side but is ok it cannot get weirder than that right"
Then when the whole Marley arc appeared I gotta admit I entered a VERY long hiatus, because I was just starting to digest what was going on with historia, Eren and the grisha flashbacks, also what was going to happen with Armin since the scene in the rooftop seemed SO important and eager to pass the role to him and a bunch of characters compared him to erwin as if it was going to be relevant to the story. Also I gave up with Annie ahsjfddg.
So yeah this "other side of the story" was like starting over (which I knew was the point yes) and I wasn't ready for that, I know I was weak pls don't yell at me.
So I waited til the main cast appeared again (my friends were updating me on the story hahaha) to reunite some willpower and get myself back in track. I went back a bit before I left the story at, and swallowed all those war chapters all together. And I was kinda impressed, it was even entertaining. I thought "I guess I just needed a break, my interest wasn't 100% lost"
It felt like I was reading chapters like in uprising (in my opinion, a good balance between politics and the action everyone came for: shonen titan fights) it was going good...
Then I cannot recall in which point everything started to be a bit overwhelming (again is prob because it wasn't just a single thing), more information was coming and new characters were taking turns in the spotlight....Mikasa with the asian bloodline, Annie's daddy issues, Falco's hinted destiny, Reiner's deadpool-like sad life, Levi and his promise, Hanji's ideals and their struggle as a commander (the latter was left so so abandoned for the sake of implying that the "idea" of commander in their universe basically died with Erwin, which brings me back to being upset at the unnecessary drama pushed on Armin, he was just sad for killing people like a normal person and that's it), the motivation of the SC, Historia and her baby, the Ymir's sick love and the no-ymir's past... these are only the ones I can get from the top of my head...
All of these little unresolved/forcibly closed stories I felt were like the freebies in a big box, the things that give you the sensation that the prize is bigger but they really don't give any more weight once you open it.
I just felt I was being mislead all the time. (you can tell by memes like this that many people was mislead in one way or another, they could sense the story was going on a direction where none of these scenarios could happen, and yet they happened in the last minute) The cherry on top is that I thought Eren was going to be allowed to be a true villain lmao.
The final events were just the Coup de Grace and I wasn't expecting anything at that point, so the Avengers assembling against Thano-I mean Eren and anything that came after it, didn't rlly leave an impact on me (positive nor negative), I just went with the flow and couldn't feel anything hfgdf, no anger, no sadness, I just wanted it to end.
If I told you a story about a kid that was chasing a chicken, then I decide to spend years developing complex sub plots around them and the people they meet, as if they also will have a concrete purpose in the long run, maybe hoping to add more depth to my story...all of this to tell you in the end "Anyways the kid died but got the chicken. I did everything I did because is interesting, I told you since the beginning the kid was just trying to get it so that's what they were gonna do, is just that there was no other way, they had to do all of this to get there see. Why are you not convinced? I gave you hints that that's exactly what the kid was going to do.." You'd probably feel like me ahhahahaa.
Then I've read other people say "there's only three protagonists, no need to work harder on all the characters" "all the characters had a reason to do what they did, it says so in the story 🙄" well, again I'm no writer but afaik that doesn't make a story automatically well done or compensates any lapses...is like
Tumblr media
It gave the impression that yams wasn't rlly planning out this outcome 100%. I know writers do changes in the middle of writing..but he took too many risks imo (is his first story too right?) Whether it was bc of his own decisions or any influence he had from others...something definitely didn't go right. Still mr Itsallama I don't mean to re-write your story and I'm sorry I rlly didn't like how it went down, I still feel grateful for all the good times though. Thanks for the ask anon, I hope this cleared your thoughts...if not, have a cookie 🍪 :D

I think the fundamental difference between the hobbit and lotr is the target audience. The hobbit was written for kids with this slight cyclical undertone, bilbo comes off as quite naive to me at least, kinda for kids to project themselves onto, and becomes a story about reevaluating the trust between yourself and the people around you, even if you care for them, which is a pretty good thing for kids to learn.
Lotr however was written for cynical adults, and the purpose for me at least was to allow downtrodden adults to add a bit of whimsy and joy back into their lives. You get beat down a lot when you’re older, and when you’re younger, everything seems great, both books aim to restore a bit of balance in their target audience, which reflects through their adaptations.
As someone who watched the hobbit first, it’s a lot better viewing experience when you’re a young kid huddled into the local cinema with your entire family (seriously there was like fifteen of us for all three movie releases, my grandma was fuckin hype), I fucking loved the barrel scene, and I still do. It’s probably one of my favourite fight scenes ever.
However, I wish the movie had worked a bit harder on goofy aspects, tonal dissonance is definitely a bit of a problem on reviewing for me, and also just not dragged poor Orlando Bloom back. Legolas does not need to be there. He’s not there in the book. It’s just weird.
I love the Hobbit movies, they’re flawed but I feel like people compare them wayyyy too much to lotr. They may be in the same universe and contain linked characters, but the books are fundamentally written for different people in different stages of their lives, and that shines through the movies.
Kinda like how the Silmarillion is written for people who want to suffer.
^^^^^ i think you have a lot of good points here!!!! Again, I DID ENJOY the hobbit movies. They were fun!!! I think Thorin was a lot of fun- I wasn't expecting to enjoy him as much.
I haven't read the books yet so I can't be too specific what I think abt the difference- ill get back to that when I have but itll take a while to finish, I think 😭💞
I havent, this far, however felt like lotr is cynical????? I think it might be like a difference between how we two see the word!!! Not sure. To me cynisism feels like that "well, nothing matters, things are shit for the sake of being shit" type of nihilism, and Hobbit comes to a lot closer to that w SOME of the characters, specifically in the water-town-whatever. I think i just mainly didn't like the town leader & Alfrids inclusion. It might be unfair of me to compare, but it is. Seriously such a stark contrast to having Théoden (cursed to silence and afterwards hindered by doubts of his own power and of loyalty, feeling alone) and Grima (clearly desperate for something; approval by others; coniving and cruel but made so by desperation) vs. dude likes gold & dude likes gold.
I might be hanging onto this one point bcs of my. MASSIVe crush on Grima, but 👁 — 👁 im not a professional movie critic I'm a dude w a crush on fuxkinh Grima Wormtongue from Lotr.... 💞💞
Anyways, yeah, idk, that just felt OFF to me. Idk id the books will have the same thing, but if they do, I gta say, not super into it? Maybe im being pretentious askinh for more complex characters in childrens media but AgAIN. The reason I was so enamored w Grima as a kid was. He was complex. That was interesting.
And you defi get that w the dwarves in hobbit!!! I'm just never a big fan of drawing clear lines between the enemy & the protags. I don't like othering evil characters, m a big believer in that seeing them as someone like us makes us understand that anyone can make bad choises, and makes us concider our own choises more?
I think the comedy to both of us is the issue. The baddies were mostly used for comedy, and the comedic parts were the least fave for me in general :( dunno.
I also have a mild weird thing for uncanniness and weirdness in movies. vISUALLY im more into Lotr; the weird constant fake moon light, older cameras, and i love the orc makeups..... augjdjj.. just more for me. But hobbits were fun!!!!
Sorry im rambling this is incoherent but u had fun thouthts so i thought id share some of my own ; v ;

Exactly! Crestoria is not the only game they don't really keep tabs with. A while ago i played a saint seiya game by them and it had many many issues. If you cannot have multiple games with quality than please don't. Is bad for us and the employees, those poor people must be going crazy :c
At first I liked kasque, quite different than what I would expect from a goddess, but I ended disliking her...
I feel kinda bad for aegis just being a punching bag for jokes and Yuna just being there to look pretty, they have a lot of potential for the story. Like you said Yuna had a great point and a good reflection moment but whatever eh? Aegis too, I felt his story like a punch on the gut because I tend to be like him and the queen, but again, whatever...
I do the arena for the free stuff too! I am not competitive at all XD
hello again anon!! im going to do another readmore gksghkeg
yeah i honestly...ugh. i have just a lot of issues w bamco in general but i also Do Not want them to pay attention to me jic they tell me to stop making memes or something stupid like that— like genuinely instead of making the game more functional or adding like...idk. any story or shit that makes Sense they just added things like the transcendence board which is just. for ppl who already maxed out their ascension boards?? after like 6 months??? Y'ALL... ik for a while too the phantom tower was Waaayyy too difficult but i think they nerfed it back to normal considering i can now clear thru level 40 at least :/ but overall the game is just. geared towards ppl who drop fucktons of cash on it. if you look at the ppl in the top 3 in arena rn? you KNOW they've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on this game. what the fuck.
also minor gripes are just...they don't add very many new units anyway, compared to like even asteria, and i get that there's effort for the whole models or w/e but...i mean if rays can do it... and i don't mean that in the rate that banners are released, bc those are...kind of annoyingly often as of late (looking @ all the crestoria cast alts) but the fact they're only for 1 or 2 charas who are Only ssrs, and it genuinely makes r and sr stones and sr charas just...obsolete and useless imo? like i genuinely have EVERY sr AND r full awakened/ascended which. is probs partly due to the drop rates being Absolute Garbage, but thank god they implemented a pity system, right? ...right? [tired sigh] i've saved enough for julius who has been in crestoria for 228 days, bamco, fucking release h—
i also want to add that i've contacted support MULTIPLE times abt issues w the game and they have legit just told me "hm sucks have u tried playing the game w all other apps closed" like yes, bamco, but that's not the problem??
SORRY for several paragraph rant abt the gameplay i just have some very strong opinions LMAO
i understand not liking kasque! tales antags...and characters in general, actually, are rather hit or miss. i personally just love evil women so im rlly in love w her GSKEHGESKHG
but as for the aegis and yuna things... YEAH. i rlly love them both and it's been extremely disappointing to see how they've been treated by the story :( like even if yuna's acting silly to cover her own feelings, it would be nice to get those scenes we get in other tales games (like...idk even the scenes in xillia like where alvin and elize sit and talk in the park, and leia talks w i think jude or milla depending on the route?) considering it's like...is penelope going to be okay? can she ever go back to her?? is she okay just crossing the sea and leaving her, even if there's really no choice??? sorry for the character introspect i just have a lot of thoughts—
aegis too, it's like. i don't mind teasing to an extent, but i really feel sometimes they go too far w it :( esp in like. events and the character episodes moreso than the main story (tho i could be remembering incorrectly) which makes me wonder if they just have different writers for each but even THEN like the main story still fails to act like yuna and aegis Exist half the time?? and JEEZ yeah i am constantly thinking abt aegis and queen rebecca, esp imo it's just a very... well first of all, that has to be Traumatizing As Hell but second of all i strongly headcanon he was unable to say it bc he didn't mean it and also i have a headcanon that the whole event has kept him from ever saying the words "i love you" ever again so that's that on THAT. (these are my headcanons pls don't send me hate over them they're not canon i promise—)
and honestly same!! i used to be sss rank and then i stopped caring abt arena for a bit and dropped a couple ranks...oops. i'm currently s-5 and had to FIGHT to keep myself there this season. it's not that i rlly care abt winning or being high ranking. or first, even, i just want the prizes from being at a certain rank/placing tbh. which is why.....................................oh im so tired of the ppl with lvl 120 fully awakened new ass units like i GET IT you have MONEY but i am not spending that much on a mobile game!!
ANYWAY thank u for coming to my ted talk omfg im so sorry this is so long (again)
