Azriel: worlds collide
Like everyone else, I have seen the BikeTok and BookTok simp city and im eating it up. (except some of the comments, some are insane and cringey but!) 
So naturally I thought of Az on a bike then passed out. Then thought of him with a bookish girlfriend, and passed out again. 
Let's go!!
(also this fic exposes how much TikTok I watch and!! I don’t want to hear it!!)
Regular headcanons: 
-You two met because of Feyre and Nesta (and technically Elain since her and Azriel were besties). But Nesta got you to agree to a blind date with Azriel, you didn’t even know what he looked like. Elain and her husband assured you that Azriel was hot. 
-They didn’t let you down. 
-You and Azriel had been texting a bit but agreed to no photos of yourselves so you could get to know each other without the pressure of looks. 
-He was also nervous about his hands, he didn’t want you to think of him as a gross creature. 
-You sent him an array of outfits to pick from. He picked a blue sweater, you picked out a black button up for him. So you two knew what you’d be wearing on the date. 
-When he walked into the restaurant, you thought you’d died and gone to heaven. He was sex on legs. Gorgeous tanned skin, hands that you wanted wrapped around your throat. You knew he would talk someone through an orgasm. 
-When he saw you, he almost fell to the ground and thanked whatever god put you in front of him. You were beautiful. Your eyes were twinkling. He saw your luscious curves, he wanted to sink his teeth into your plump ass. He wanted your thighs wrapped around his neck. 
-Then your smile, your laugh and just you enchanted him. 
-You were no better, you were infatuated with him. 
-After three dates he officially asked to be his girlfriend. 
-You were terrified to ride the bike the first time. He made sure you were safe obviously but you were nervous. And now? You’re obsessed. 
-He always got the door for you, pulled out your chair, he was always bringing you flowers. 
-Obviously he was a god in bed, perfect even. Even when you two weren’t doing intense kinky shit you had a safe word just in case. Even after assuring him that you were fine, he felt better when you had a safe word. He made your first time together special too. 
-You gave him a handjob on the bike in the comfort of your garage. 
-He’s fingered you and eaten you out on the bike. You have no idea how he did so well balancing the bike to ensure you didn’t fall. 
-He held your books for you as you shopped. And at bookish events he always took pictures for you and encouraged your followers to go up and meet you. 
-After a year you two moved in together. A 3 bedroom townhouse. He got an office, you got a library room and then the bedroom for you two. 
-The Archeron Sisters took full credit for you two being together. His brothers adored you even before the relationship and now that you’re “officially” a little sister (because Az isn’t letting you go) they love you even more. 
When your relationship was shown online:
-Azriel was one of the most popular BikeTokers and you were one of the most popular BookTokers 
-You two had been dating for a few years when both your respective areas of the internet merged. 
-He was just like “everyones finally catching up on how hot reading is huh” like it’s been his life. Reenacting famous sex scenes was one of his favorite things. Zade Meadows scenes with consent discussed beforehand??? (cough funhouse scene cough) (However he is not a fan of Zade meadows) 
-You just couldn’t stop laughing at the guys being like “these girls are freaks!” and Azriel always commenting “you guys are just finding this out?” 
-Which then leads to gossip pages talking about him and who his potential partner is. 
-You were used to your man getting steamy comments and DMs, he’s tried to get people to stop but they won’t so he stopped opening them and didn’t respond. 
-Then you started getting comments and DMS from bikers asking for a date. And then Az began pouting, which you ruthlessly teased him about. 
-”Can I post you on my page?” Az asked one night in bed. “Something without your face, but something?”
“Are you gonna send it to these guys and demand they take out their dicks for a measuring contest?” You asked dryly. 
He grumbled, and you turned off your kindle. You were done reading for the night. You had a big baby to comfort. “You do know, I’ve been dealing with his shit on your page since we began dating right?” 
“But…there’s no chance of me leaving you.” Your blood turned to ice. “Do you think so little of me that I’d leave you for some random person on the internet?”
His eyes widened when he saw how pissed off you were. “No I just…” He sighed, “I worry because I don’t see me as anything.”
“Let me put it this way: You are everything to me. No, you’re not anything, because you are everything to me. And I am the only girl that’s gonna ride your dick, and your bike. You a’re the only guy that gets to fuck me.” You said bluntly. “Capiche?” 
He blinked at you, then smiled, “I love you.” “I love you too, you’re on thin ice for even suggesting that bullshit.” You huffed even as your head hit his chest to go to bed. 
He kissed your forehead. And held you even tighter. 
-So he asked if you guys could film a video, just his hands would be in it, so some mystery was still there. 
You had wanted to redecorate your kindle and film it. So just your hands would be in it. You sighed and let the fool join. 
“Hey everyone, so join me today with a very special guest. My boyfriend!” You said happily into the mic but also sounded annoyed, “the fool wanted to join because of all the comments and DMs I get hitting on me.” 
He waved gleefully in the camera. Once again, only his hands were visible against your dining room table. His nails were painted black, and frankly well taken care of (because of you). He had a singular ring on his ring finger, one with your initial. You had one on yours as well, his initial. 
“Alright, baby. What’re we doing today?” You asked. 
“Redecorating your kindle.” It was easy to hear the adoration in his voice. 
“I went to a few local bookstores and picked these up.” You showed them to the camera. Your nails were painted the color of Azriel’s tip, but nobody knew that but you two. You hoped. 
“Alright let’s start.” 
Azriel picked up the biggest sticker and placed it in the middle, “how about here?” It was a sticker that was a tarot card style with a girl reading in it that said “the reader”. 
“Nah my popsocket is gonna block it, and that’s too pretty to be hidden.” You placed it up on the top corner. 
Then he picked up a candy heart style sticker that said “smut slut”. The camera couldn’t see his grin. “Shut up.” You said. “Nah, I love when you’re a smut…” He hesitated and looked sheepish. 
“Can you not say the word?” You laughed. 
“I don’t like the idea of calling you a slut.” “Nothngs wrong with being a slut.” You said. 
“Yeah but, I’m trying to be a gentleman!” 
“Baby, nothing you did last night was-” “Aye!” He laughed lightly. 
Throughout the video, you two teased each other, and all around had a good time. You smacked his hands away when he tried to take your sticker-fictional boyfriend away from you. He smacked your hands away when he tried to put a motorcycle sticker on it. But you let him put it there in the end, and happily kept it there. 
Tons of comments rolled in. All of them were talking about how cute you guys were. 
He posted a video later and he got a comment that talked about how nice his hands were. Naturally, others began agreeing. So he posted a video labeled, “I hope you guys realize that the reason my hands look so nice is because of my girlfriend.” 
And the video involved you being his backpack. And then you were tagged in the video as well. So your followers increased drastically, then when you posted a few pictures of you two from when you went to your cousin's wedding, even more followers and comments rolled in. 
You were wearing a cobalt blue dress that hugged your curves, he was in a black button up with nice dress pants and shoes. You had strappy silver heels on, even with the heels you came up to that mans chin. The first one was you two just looking at each other and smiling, clearly you both were laughing. Then the other one was a smiling one, but he wasn’t looking at the camera, he was looking at you. 
Some other videos he’s in are bookshopping vlogs or random tiktoks he makes appearances in. 
You also got the comments of “does he have siblings” and “are you looking for a sister-in-law” to which you responded, “I already have two <3 but wish you the best!!” 
You didn’t play about your sister-in-laws relationships either. Girl code, man. Also, you genuinely loved Azriels brothers and their girlfriends. 
Even Nesta and Feyre joined in on the BookTok craze. Talking about books the three of you liked. Book recs for Feyre because she was just getting into reading. Feyre’s reaction to Haunting Adeline. 
On the video where your sister-in-laws were in, you got a few comments that were golden.
“Idk who im more in love with azriel or y/n”
“Do any of you need a third in your relationship? I can cook” 
Of course there were still assholes who didn’t respect your relationship. The block button was a blessing. But for the most part, everyone was kind. 
The internet could be a bad place, but sometimes, sometimes it wasn’t so bad.

on the topic of me being team green
a bit of a different post for me, considering what my blog is, but i was honestly so offended at being called a misogynist i made a fresh google docs page and typed out 1634 words of me ranting.
is there a real reason to post this? probably not, but i felt the need to establish myself as team green, considering all the posts i've been liking and commenting on lately. (if you are team green, and you see this, feel free to be my friend. in fact, i am begging you to be my friend. i have no tg friends and i need to see the light).
beware, typos and repitition are probably aplenty.
Whenever I see people talk about being TG, I always will see TB stans in the comments saying something along the lines of “Oh, you must be a misogynist, then.” And you know, it never happened to me until a few days ago when I commented on a TikTok post about Rhaenyra beefing with two-year-old Aegon. Someone replied to me, saying that I only brought it up because I’m a misogynist.
And. You know, I’ve been insulted before. I’ve been called ugly, stupid, immature, whatever whatever. But I honestly can’t think of a worse thing for someone to say to me, that I’m a misogynist. I know this isn’t that commentator’s fault, because they obviously don't know me. But the irony of calling me a misogynist when I am the most misandristic person to exist on this earth. I pray for the downfall of men daily. I make fun of them. Whenever I see an AITA post on TikTok, I am immediately on the woman’s side, regardless of what she may have done. 
It’s because I distrust men to a certain degree. You know what’s different for ASoIaF, though? It’s not real. It’s all fiction. TB stans will come on the internet daily and complain about TG existing, calling us misogynists, elevating the conflict between us to that of a literal genocide. Are y'all delusional? Are you guys stuck so far up Rhaenyra’s ass that you can’t tell reality from fiction? 
Y’all love to preach about how Rhaenyra is the number one feminist girlboss of Westeros, without realizing exactly how exactly you’re falling into the trap. You uphold a woman because she’s the heir, meanwhile she steals Rhaena’s and Baela’s inheritance in order to put her illegitimate sons on the throne (which, btw, is treason). But of course you guys wouldn’t care, because you like to think Rhaenyra is the exception to the rule.
That’s the thing. She’s only the exception because of her father, the king. After Viserys dies, she suddenly finds herself back in the same patriarchal world that y’all love to claim she’s trying to overthrow, that she’s trying to change. 
I don’t hate Rhaenyra because she’s a woman. I hate her because she’s a stupid woman. She knew exactly what it meant to be a woman in Westeros; she gets forced into an unwanted marriage (and even in that she gets far more freedom and will to choose than other women), she is undermined for being a woman, and others view her as unfit to rule. I would sympathize with her if she did absolutely anything to change that whatsoever. 
Y’all love to say that she’s so iconic with her dragon scenes, but what did that really accomplish aside from showcasing she is unfit to rule? She has three illegitimate sons who look absolutely nothing like her. Even if Viserys was on her side, everyone knows that they are bastards. Like, at least Cersei’s bastards looked like her. Rhaenyra was a white woman with white hair married to a black man with white hair, and her first three children are white boys with brown hair. Girl, if you were going to have bastards, at least do it with someone that bears at least some resemblance to your husband, or yourself. She purposefully made it harder for herself.
And for those of you guys who will bring up something about Laenor being gay. I genuinely don’t know how to tell you this, but if they truly cared about keeping up appearances, they would have had children. I say this as a queer person myself: If I were in Laenor’s shoes, I would have children with my coverup. Afterall, that’s what a coverup is for. And also: I could find nothing about Laenor being infertile. 
And for those who will also bring up Laenor accepting the Strong boys as his own, I literally couldn't care less. Everyone and their grandmother could see that those boys were bastards. Laenor accepting them and Viserys being delusional doesn’t change the fact that they were illegitimate, and everybody knew it. Secondly: Rhaenyra would need to admit the boys were bastards in the first place for anybody to claim them, something she did not do. In fact, she went so far the opposite way, I wouldn’t be surprised if she managed to delude herself that they were legitimate. 
And this I don’t understand. How do you shoot yourself in the foot, not once, not twice, but three times, with three obvious bastards, knowing that people would oppose you, people already oppose you, and still think yourself fit to rule? Every decision Rhaenyra makes is so stupid, it’s almost mind blowing to me. To live in Dragonstone for years while your father, the king, is sick (in which case, btw, the heir is supposed to step in to rule). Instead, we see Alicent ruling the kingdoms from behind the shadow, because Rhaenyra does nothing but live out a couple of years of bliss and comes back to King's Landing expecting everything to be handed to her. She does absolutely no politicking, absolutely nothing in order to sway the lords to her side. Should she be so surprised, then, that she is met with such resistance? 
Y’all TB stands love to call TG misogynistic because we don’t worship your perfect little dragon lady, as if her uncle-husband isn’t Lord of Fleabottom and grooms and rapes her from a young age. As if Daemon hasn’t called women whores and bitches, and his first wife, Rhea Royce, ‘Bronze Bitch.’ Like, is that not disgusting to you? Y’all love to preach about how Daemon loved Rhaenyra, as if he didn’t choke her the moment she disagreed with his methods. As if his first instinct everytime is anger and death and war.
(In case y’all couldn’t tell, I am extremely anti-war. I am under the impression that if you can’t solve things by talking it out, then you are definitely not mature enough to be ruling a kingdom, and Daemon is one of the most immature rapist misogynists I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing).
(As an aside, I am not blaming Rhaenyra for her relationship with Daemon. Yes, I do find that most of her actions are stupid, but I cannot deny the fact that she was groomed and raped by him-- yes, raped, because she was a child, and children cannot consent. That is in no way her fault, and Daemon is the one responsible for this).
Y’all praise Rhaenyra for her maternal instincts while simultaneously hating Alicent for hers. Of course, an eye for an eye is unreasonable and far too much, but a son for a son is totally reasonable and to be expected. Rhaenyra protecting her children is being a good mother, but Alicent (rightfully) assuming that her children would be persecuted if Rhaenyra ascended the throne is her being a jealous bitch. Y’all blow her “sweet sister” line so much out of proportion, saying that she wouldn’t have killed her siblings if they just came over to her side. As if Alicent’s children, Alicent’s family, would choose Rhaenyra over her. Because “Helaena was the only good green” and “if only she just joined Rhaenyra”. Why would she ever do that? Because Aegon was a bad husband? The show literally stated that he only ever laid with her when he was drunk, because he couldn't do it otherwise. Obviously neither of them sought any pleasure from it, but they are still family. Helaena only had Aemond, Aegon, Daeron, and Alicent. Why would Rhaenyra ever be worth what her family is worth to her?
On a similar note, TB stans will constantly say how “oh, I feel sorry for younger Alicent, but not older Alicent.” As if Alicent wasn’t a 14 year old girl groomed and abused, as if she wasn’t twice pregnant by 17. As if Alicent wasn’t a victim doing her best in a world specifically designed against her.
That’s the difference between her and Rhaenyra. Both were victims to a much older man, but Rhaenyra considered herself an exception. Alicent had no choice but to be the bad guy, and despite how much y’all love to ignore it, Rhaenyra should have done the same. “Oh but Alicent was jealous of Rhaenyra!” Like you wouldn’t also be jealous of Rhaenyra? Rhaenyra, the perfect little princess, loved by her rapist daddy the king, who had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Would you not also be infuriated by her attitude, the entitled way she views the world? I’m sorry, but if your “strong female character” needs every other female character to agree with her, then she’s not that strong. Or a girlboss.
In conclusion, Rhaenyra sucks and is a terrible role model. True feminists love Alicent Hightower. Also, negative comments will be deleted, bc yk what is so fun about the internet? You can block people. I know, crazy concept. If you don’t want to see me or other TG on your for you page, consider blocking them. That tends to get rid of the thing you don’t want to see. I will also be doing this to anyone who thinks they’re smart enough to argue this topic with me. I do not care, hope your day goes terribly. <3
Btw, please never call me a misogynist again. In fact, you can call me Little Miss Misandrist, because there is no universe out there where I side with a man over Alicent Hightower. Or any woman at all, for that matter. 
(Except for maybe if the pickings were between Rhaenyra and Criston. If you’re one of the media illiterate TB stands who consider Criston to be an incel, you should also go ahead and block me, your stupidness is draining my brain cells).
Stay mad, xoxo.

no plz tell me all your thoughts about the gregory hate so I can reblog it💀
OHHH boy this is gonna be a long one buckle up
Ever since Gregory was first announced I believe most of the fandom have interpreted him as this frail child who was always on the verge of tears and needed G.Freddy’s protection (think C.C 2.0), but once the game came out most ppl were shocked to see this kid actually has a lot of bite to him and kicked ass (ppl’s first reactions to him destroying the animatronics still make me laugh).
This was MY first introduction to him, so I wasn’t completely taken aback but still pleasantly surprised. Most if not all his actions made sense or at least made sense for a 10yr boy to think/act. Giant robots coming after me with the intention to kill (and insulting me for no damn reason)? Yeah I’d probably add an extra kick in there for good measure. Then came the first repair scene, when Vanessa revealed the high possibility of Gregory being an homeless orphan everything just clicked into place for me.
OF COURSE that’s why Gregory was so aggressive, he had to learn how to fight on his own to survive he’d probably had to face even worse than this! He wasn’t going to let that all go to waste bc some weird murderous rabbit lady wanted to drag him into her plans. It explains why he brushed off G.Freddy’s worries about him bc he’s used to have to just keep moving and bare thru pain, especially in an environment where that’s really the ONLY thing you can do. It’s why he’s so blunt and can come off as rude bc he was most likely never taught how to behave “correctly” bc really who has the time?
He was just using all the knowledge he learned on how to survive from a cruel and harsh environment for another. But this time he has an ally for once, an adult (father) figure who actually cares about his wellbeing, it’s no wonder why he became so attached (but struggles to show it bc he’s not used to it). And through all that easily irritable aggression, there are moments to remind us he’s still a kid.
A useless fridge magnet? Yeah that is pretty lame man.
Now imagine my shock when I see others hating on him and calling him a villain. “How could he KILL the poor animatronics? He was so mean, he’s the true monster!” Wh- DID WE WATCH THE SAME GAME? You mean the same animatronics that says he doesn’t have anyone to care about him? Yeah real sweethearts they are. Gregory isn’t a damn monster, he’s a survivor! He’s doing what he only knows best, IT’S TO SURVIVE!
“How could he be so mean to G.Freddy??? Those are his friends! He made Freddy feel bad!” Trust me when I say that Gregory cares about G.Freddy ALOT, did you see his reactions whenever G.Freddy got hurt??? That’s his father thank you very much!
“How could he have killed Vanny in that one ending?! He’s the real villain!” …Do I even need to explain this one?
And ohhhhhh don’t get me started on the awful “bratty gremlin devil” Gregory HCs. Now this isn’t to say that Gregory can’t be a gremlin or whatever. He can be, he is a bit cheeky, but then some started to intensify it and made it his entire personality. No, Gregory wasn’t just itching to rip Roxy’s eyes out or do the next batshit insane thing, he noticed the other upgrades and put two and two together (It gets more weird and slightly disrespectful when they add in the homeless thing as if that automatically makes someone act “feral”….tiktok.)
And then we have the complete opposite where some portray him as what I mentioned in the first paragraph. The poor helpless child who cant handle anything by himself…even though that’s complete bullshit (he’s also usually portrayed to be obnoxiously sweet for some reason). I don’t think many ppl realize how often were not in G.Freddy during SB, and Gregory is described to be quick on his feet and wits (plus his tools) and he doing damn well by himself! [Obviously this isnt to say that he didnt need G.Freddy’s help and protection, ofc he did, he just didnt need to RELY on it like some ppl make it seem he did].
(I know we went a bit off-topic for the last two paragraphs, trust me it connects)
All of this comes down to simply that some just can’t accept the fact that Gregory isn’t their perfect victim. He doesn’t crumble to the floor and beg for G.Freddy to help him up like they want him too. He’s not shy and sheepishly asking for help like they think he’s supposed to. And when they realize that part they try to push him into the other far end where he’s crazy, cold, and cruel. But he’s not. He cares, and he cares deeply. He’s still a little boy, he cried and tried to cover his face when he saw Vanny die. He should be leaping in victory, he killed his killer after all right? But he didn’t, bc despite everything she was still a human being, and he was so scared.
He has complex trauma (duh), he’s not this way or that way, and I get it. It’s hard to write or draw that kind of trauma for Gregory, especially when SB didn’t really give us much. But the way ppl act as if that’s what he actually is is soooooo frustrating. In my opinion the fact that his trauma is so complex and the fact he’s not your typical written victim is what makes him so interesting! And I feel like a lot ppl were slowly getting around to it…
Until GGY and Ruin happened and the hate came back so much worse, Welcome to the real Freddy Hell.

*just want to clarify that by short form I mean youtube video uploads not youtube shorts. like videos to the channel not to the shorts/tiktok like content bit.
my answer to this is kind of one long yap. also did not put a third option for no preference bc ik a lot of answers will be ill watch anything from them and whilst i get that i want to see if there is an actual preference between the two so pls pick which u like/prefer or even engage with more
I think generally I prefer long content but it is also very dependent upon what the video is about. what I am trying to get at tho is I would love to see dan and phil play some different longer game series. yes I am thinking about life is strange AGAIN but I really would like a series like that and I genuinely would not mind if the wait between videos was longer than more frequent short form videos
just my opinion tho bc obviously we have no say over the dnp games channel but I feel long form game series may be a popular move?? but at the same time people may not have the time to watch and keep up with long videos/series. in the example of life is strange I guess the actual first game is quite old now but I still see people playing it on youtube for the first time and it’s still a popular game so I don’t really think that is an issue. obviously dnp know what sorts of games and uploads get more views and engagement (not saying that that’s the most important thing about uploading but it is definitely important to consider) so that impacts what they play too. hmmm I don’t know how to phrase it so I hope it sounds alright buttttt I do wonder if long form content or just a new series would do better on the channel and bring in new viewers? there is obviously a huge nostalgia factor with dapg and there’s still the core fandom that engages but I wonder whether content length impacts any growth in new viewers?
there is clearly the issue with long form content simply taking way longer. it obviously takes longer for dnp and their editors but also for viewers to have the time to spend on a series so maybe long form is not a popular move bc of that reason
nowww this also leads to a 4th option I wanted in the poll but I took out is whether people would want dapg youtube shorts. because reallllly super short content like shorts reels tiktok whatever else is so popular atm and so many highlights or funny moment clip things exist I wonder if that is a direction dapg will go in. I know dan isn’t rly a fan of all that especially tiktok but imo some of phil’s youtube shorts on lessamazingphil are still funny I just wonder if dapg shorts will ever become a thing and not even necessarily new content just like highlights or idk outtakes of a video like the ones anthony posts from his interviews. the highlights of the vid with dan seem to have got a lot of engagement too although ik anthony is a very popular creator still and his rebranded content continues being popular so I just wonder if dapg will ever have that kinda shorts thing going on??
I also think the times they’ve used the community tab to do polls or just general discussion has been fun and it just kinda gives the channel more personality imo!
again I just wanted to yap there is like 0 seriousness in this or what dapg should post bc I do watch whatever they put out I just wonder if there will be a shift in content and if that would impact the channel overall. idk!!

Hi friend.
Actually just today, my friend and I was talking about Daniel after the race. He’s been watching F1 for way longer then me. I expressed my concern over the last two weeks even though this is only the beginning of the szn. He said and I summerised, currently DR can only be in midfield teams is cus while he dose have the skills, he’s too unserious for like SF or MER, but his unseriousness brings great publicity for midfield teams.
I think in some aspects this may be true. But It’s just, like, idk, thought of this hits me. I know this jester aura (?) often surrounded him and people saying it’s great for marketing and stuff, but isn’t that a bit unfair tho? Maybe DR is always DR, way before F1 he is DR, and now all of a sudden his a publicity stun.
(feel sad for millionaires)
Idk what will happen after this szn but I really hope he keeps racing.
You know when you look at someone and look at what they do, you just go like, yeah for sure that’s what they do? I look at Daniel and I have this feeling. He’s a racer, always have been and always will, maybe he’ll go to Indy or some other competitions if this doesn’t work out, but in heart he’s a racer, he belongs to the track and the speed.
That’s just how I feel, and don’t really know who I can say this to, so thank you for letting me vent.
Wish him all the best for home race.
this is so sweet (the way you worry for daniel's prospects) and '(feel sad for millionaires)' got me irl lol 😭 your friend sounds like he's watched f1 for a long time but i would disagree with his conclusion. i provide that:
allegedly ferrari decided to not go for daniel after seeing him dance with daniil kvyat in the pit lane to entertain fans during rain delay at usgp 2015. the situation first of all was fortunately and unfortunately more nuanced than daniel being "unserious". the ferrari at the time was also run by arrivabene during bernie ecclestone's f1 reign. the ferrari today, two team principles later and after liberty media's f1 takeover, has changed in many ways. for example, in 2022 they had charles and carlos do this tiktok trend which definitely, definitely flirted with "the boundaries" (whatever that means) way more. so no, even tho daniel doesn't drive for ferrari, i wouldn't say he is "too unserious" for them.
merc is considered a more "corporate" environment in f1, example is valtteri's change in public image after leaving mercedes. however given that at the end of 2022 toto went as far as literally wearing daniel's merch in an attempt to reserve him for mercedes, i'd say obviously they don't consider daniel "too unserious" either.
publicity in f1 just generally cannot be a bad thing. more people interested in watching a driver means more sponsors willing to pay $$$$ to put their names and logos onto their livery. and more $$$$ means better chances at making a faster car, which is a goal of every team's. one can argue that a successful and financially secure team like red bull or ferrari might not be attracted to the benefit of a driver's popularity as much. but again, sports rely on viewership to sell broadcasting rights and ad spots, and publicity just generally can't be a bad thing.
i know the first two races were not great but this season literally just started. nothing is real yet. and daniel at least ended this week on a positive note so even more reasons to look ahead. the thing about f1 is that there is one winner and nineteen others. so as long as you're watching you're basically guaranteed more bad days than good ones. we can't all be watching bc we all believe our blorbos will be wdc, right? we watch and hope that something good might just happen. like if you think about it even though daniel has been out here causing us stress all these years he still manages to pull off minor to major miracles every year or two. this hopefulness is very precious so i say we watch it for that.
anyways. i hope this made you feel better and more excited about the season ❤️❤️❤️

Heyy I would like to request a matchup with miles 1610/42
My personality: I’m not quite ore shy but I’m very stand-off-ish to new people, but when I get comfortable I’m eccentric asf. I’m very cuddly with the people I like and love giving them little gifts (even if it’s just some craft I made) I’m very creative, I’m very empathetic, I can be very loud and bubbly, but I’m also an absolute bitch if someone gives me any reason not to like them
looks: I’m very goth (I’m talking trad goth) I have long-ish black and red hair with v-shaped bangs. I’m pale right now but I can get rlly dark in the summer. I like to experiment with the way I dress and do my makeup so I can look kinda basic one day then look like I just emerged from a coffin the next.
likes: most animals, sweet foods, pickles, winter and fall, Halloween, horror (literature, movies, art, etc.), the 80s, beadwork, ribbon skirts, my culture (I’m native), books/reading, witches, (there’s more but that’s all I can think of right now)
dislikes: bigots, the us government, being hot/sweaty, the TikTok humor all the guys in my class have, those weirdos who fetishize “goth girls”, (there’s more but that’s all I can think of)
hobbies: theater/acting, art/drawing, singing, cosplay, reading
music taste: I listen to a bit of everything but for the most part it’s goth, post-punk, punk, metal, powwow music, and whatever genre hozier is
Thank for sending 🥰🥰
I match you with Miles G
(jealous 🫢)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He’d probably talk to you first after he notices you’re a bit stand offish.
Loves that you’re a clingy person, lowkey makes him happy that you like to be with him.
Likes your eccentric self in contrast to his more quiet reserved self, thinks he’s special be
cause you don’t show that side a lot with other people.
Being creative with him is perfect, you two share creative ideas all the time.
He’s a gift giver too so it isn’t long before you two have a collection of things you gave each other
Since you two are creative and you like makeup, I can see him giving you ideas on how to do your makeup
Gets you all the candy from the bodega.
Comes to all your plays, only pays attention when you’re on the stage, brings flowers for you after your performance.
Very interested in your culture ask you questions adds some stuff into things he draws

Hi, i hope this question doesn't bothers you, do you have any videos of your process?, im currently starting to learn how to do digital art and have trouble knowing where to start and what to do (im always like, should i start drawing this part first?, is it better to do clean lineart or just paint over the sketch?, do i work on the lights first or the shadows?, etc)
I can probs make you a video on this at some point based on something I'm currently working on, although I have a few on my tiktok already (@ xephia) if that helps!
My process is a bit messier than many other artists - I alternate between stages of sketch and colour before I even think about ‘final colour’. I’ll start with a sketch like the ones below, then slap some rough colour on. This is because IMO colour is an important part of the composition so I want to see what works before I line. They’re not meant to be pretty or social media ready. This stage can look super messy or tidy depending on how I feel or how complicated it is. And they can look wildly different; here’s some examples:
Tumblr media
That stage also helps me decide if I want to finish the piece or if I should abandon it (I abandon a lot). Sometimes this stage takes 15min, sometimes 2 hours, it really depends on the piece. But for me personally, it’s crucial because otherwise I find it very hard to envision how it will look later, or forget what I was planning.
Then, I do at least one more layer of ‘sketch line art’, which is basically a first layer of line art to see what works and what needs changing. I colour the important bits relatively cleanly (usually character/s) and add might some subtle shadows/gradients and/or lighting to get a feel of what it will look like finished. Sometimes I repeat this process a couple of times if I’m not happy with how the first iteration looked. This stage usually looks a little like this character sheet I’m working on, and this slice from a Kiki delivery service sketch:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s usually not until I’ve done all that, that I go over and do the final lineart, making it thicker, colouring the lines, redoing the flat colours, tidying it up, and adjusting where needed. Essentially I don’t start ‘finishing’ a piece until I’m happy with where everything sits and what colours I’ve picked. It’s only at this point I feel like the sketch is ready to line, and lining and final colouring can actually take less time for me than all those layers of planning somehow haha.
At this point I keep tidying, cleaning, lining, colouring, until the piece feels complete. Sometimes complete for one piece is tidier than complete for another, it really depends.
Tumblr media
I’ll also use Procreate’s push tool to adjust things as I go in all steps - it saves a lot of time and isn’t cheating.
Although as you can probably tell from my examples, I do change this procress up a lot depending on the piece! Sometimes I’ll even paint over parts of my final piece like I did in this magical girl street. I think find whatever works for you, everyone will work differently and things like mood, energy levels, how patient you feel, how stressed you are, if you have any hand pain or shaking, and how much free time you have that day to draw can all affect your process day to day, week to week.
Some days it will be easier and more comfortable to sketch messily, other days tidier. Some days you will draw well, other days not well at all. At least for me, I find consistency almost impossible.
So I think there's no right or wrong order to do things and it's great to switch it up and keep things interesting for yourself, and different processes work for different people. Hope this helps!

romione in terms of “spice”
this is going to be a lot less nsfw than you think it is
unfortunately anyone who has tiktok knows that there’s this thing called “booktok” which had led to horrible things in literature like trope marketing, glorification of domestic violence and abuse, and other things. one thing to note is that a lot of these (mostly) women on booktok are looking for one thing in particular when they read a book; romance. or at least that’s what they call it. i feel as if anyone who has romantic experience finds it anything but that, but either way. when it comes down to it they think good romance = good smut. and good smut actually means bdsm.
tldr: people don’t like romione, or romione smut because ron isn’t dominant.
i was unfortunate enough to come across a tiktok—posted by a dramione, of course—where it’s a filter and it does the characters and it gives a trope, an ending, “spice levels” and other meaningless things meant to interest people. the results of said person’s filter are below.
Tumblr media
the characters were obviously ron and hermione but it uses rupert and emma’s faces and i don’t like to consider them at all, especially when talking about something nsfw so just pretend it’s there!
anyways yeah sure whatever. i open the comments. the first one is below.
Tumblr media
which this is just a bit confusing even when it comes to surface level canon… didn’t he spend a great part of the sixth book sucking face with a girl he didn’t even like? consider how much more has to be happening between him and someone he’s actually in love with.
the second concern is the line “we all know ron[‘s] personality.”
ron’s personality is not dominant. romione’s and dramione’s alike actually agree on that one thing, for the most part! but why exactly should ron’s personality and ron’s personality only define how “spicy” they can get in the bedroom?
like i said in the first paragraph, they see “spice” or good sex as bdsm. and as we’ve established most romiones don’t see or write ron as a traditional “dom” in anyway. if anything, more of us think hermione is the dom and there’s dramiones/romione antis who have agreed with this… but still don’t think they’re “spicy.”
if there’s still an s/m aspect to it… why is it not “spicy” anymore? it’s quite obvious to anyone (or at least i think so). they don’t find it hot because the man’s not in charge. because the woman isn’t be controlled, but instead doing the controlling.
and i know there are plenty of fics of dramione or any ship but romione out there of a mistress/sub man but in most m/f relationships the dom man/sub woman is a lot more popular, no matter the characters personality. i’ve seen it happen with romione where the writer would rather have a woman be out of character to be dominated than have hermione dominate, or even just tone down ron’s dominance to make it in character again.
i myself do admit that i have written some things where hermione’s a bit submissive but i try to never make ron dominant because he just isn’t.

Good morning! Good whatever-time-this-post-finds-you!
Tumblr media
My phone updated. Thanks, I hate it. Anyway, I had a bio pinned, but I took it down because I wanted my 6,000 years meta to be pinned. I’m currently on the side of procrastination — I should be working on my GO fiction, someone shout at me to write — so here is a little bit more in depth bio about the ghost behind this tumblr.
🥂🪽🐝
Real Name: Sarah.
Nickname(s): There’s a list. Caps, Ghost, Khas, Khasper, Khasper the Spicy Ghost, Pippin, Haands, Crowley, Ginger and Tapeworm.
Nickname Origin(s): Buckle up. Caps is an age old nickname that was given to me because I wear hats all the time. Ghost began with a chat group I used to be in eons ago. The different variants of Khasper were given to me at my very first job, but we collectively agreed to change things up a bit, and Khasper the Spicy Ghost was born. Pippin was given to me when the Lord of the Rings trilogy was first released. Haands was given to me by former coworkers. Their reasoning behind that is I’ve got big hands. Crowley was given to me by my work bestie, and Ginger was given to me by the rest of my coworkers for my only slightly red hair. Or maybe it’s for my fiery personality. Tapeworm is something my uncle calls me presumably because I’m always hungry, but isn’t that the nature of an actual hobbit?
Preferred Name(s): Ghost, Khasper, Crowley, Ginger or Pippin.
Ao3: Beyond_Ineffable.
Social Media(s): I have Facebook and TikTok. My TikTok is actuallyahobbit89 if anyone is curious. I’m hardly on it though. I’ll pop in to post a video and then disappear like a ghost.
State: Born in raised in Floriduha. It’s a state of chaos.
Birthdate: July 25.
Pet(s): I’ve got two dogs. Mycroft is a probably Dutch shepherd Australian cattle dog mix. I’ve never had him DNA tested, but his mother is an Australian cattle dog. Patch is a portly pitbull mix.
Tumblr media
Hobbies: Writing, reading, listening to music and true crime podcasts and stand up paddle boarding.
Personality: Here’s the best way I can describe this. I’m a permanently exhausted pigeon who functions on caffeine, anxiety and not enough sleep. I’m shy and socially awkward, but once I’m comfortable with someone and know that I can completely be myself around them, the anxiety disappears.
Favorite Holiday(s): Big spooky fan, me.
Favorite Drink(s): Coffee, Ice sparkling water + caffeine, London fog tea and cranberry juice.
Favorite Food(s): Sushi, tacos, salmon, crepes, lasagna, sweet potatoes and chicken teriyaki.
Favorite Dessert(s): Pumpkin pie.
Favorite Color(s): Turquoise, but any shade of blue, really. It’s pretty.
Favorite Quote(s): “She walks in starlight in another world.” “The world is not in your books and maps. It’s out there.” “Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.” “A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest because she should be sure that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.” “I know of witches who whistle at different pitches, calling things that don’t have names.”
Favorite Book(s): The Inheritance Collection and Neverwhere, which I still need to finish reading.
Favorite TV Show(s): Good Omens, Sherlock, Lucifer, The Exorcist and Hannibal.
Favorite Movie(s): Bad Samaritan, The Hobbit trilogy, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Favorite Character(s): Crowley, Aziraphale, Furfur, Hastur, Pippin, Bilbo Baggins, Sherlock, John Watson, Father Marcus and Will Graham.
Favorite Actor(s): David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Martin Freeman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Jason Statham, Keanu Reeves and Mads Mikkelsen. It’s an accent thing and a hair thing.
Favorite Song(s): There’s too many. I’ll just drop this here. Whiplash Radio.
Favorite Music Genre(s): Mostly everything under the sun.
Favorite Podcast(s): Small Town Murder.
Have You Ever Met A Celebrity: Yes. Jimmie Johnson, a NASCAR driver, visited the very first job I had. He brought his daughter. Story time! My former coworkers were being a bit too extra around him — personal space, what personal space? — and he didn’t like it. I had not yet had a chance to speak to him, and I was told not to because he’s rude. I didn’t believe that, so later, I saw Jimmie was standing at the fence with his daughter. I walked over, said hello and asked him if his daughter would like to pet the dog. He said yes, so I moved the dog closer so she could pet him through the fence. She did, he thanked me, and that was our interaction. He was very pleasant.
Have You Ever Been To A Concert: I have not, unfortunately.
Do You Collect Anything: Yes. Coffee cups, gnomes and pocket knives. That’s a weird combination.
Do You Have Any Idols: Yes! Neil Gaiman. He’s a legend and someone I admire, especially when the writer’s block is slaying me.
Is There A Real Life Friend You Can Completely Be Yourself With: Yes! I made a tumblr post about him! We’ve known each other a long time.
What Are Your Interests: All things spooky. Ghosts. Graveyards. Stars. Galaxies. Planets. Everything about the solar system. True crime. History. Metaphysical things.
Where Would You Love To Travel To: Ireland. New Zealand. Scotland.
Is There A Random Fact About Yourself That You’d Like To Share: I like flamingos.
No pressure tags: @phoen1xr0se @ineffabildaddy @peregrintook @sad-chaos-goblin @spot-o-bodysnatchin @apocalypticginger-blog @crowleyscleaninglady @missdeliadilisblog @ritz-writes @ineffablemoist @turquoisedata @azirapalalalala @peachworthy @pretendygood @belladonna413 @jackinistafflower @aziraphalalala @scarecrowcloud @tragic-cosmic-magic @musingsofmaisie
It’s open to everyone, but here is an apology dance in case I missed anyone! 💚

I don’t mean to sound harsh with some of the people upset about his tattoos but I have to genuinely wonder how some people actually thought there would be a day that jungkook would say to thousands/millions of ARMY on live that his J stood for his band mate, one that a sizable amount of people think he is dating, I mean let’s be for real. Too many people expect them to act like a couple that isn’t in some pretty wild circumstances. I know we miss them but I would hope that main thing we got from his live was that he is genuinely resting for the first time in probably his whole time as an idol. He has grown his hair, something he has always wanted to do and kissing his dog and just being his adorable self. I could only watch the first hour before I had to go to work so I have about 3 hours to catch up on lol but like I do wish some jkkrs could just be happy with whatever content we get lives or prefilmed and enjoy content regardless of jikook crumbs or not. I mean we got a Vibe cover by JK how can we be disappointed.
I think many were really devastated by him debunking the army are the members theory, and are clinging to his J is for JK like super glue.
Because they know, deep down, that there is no way that JK could come clean if it was put there over the M for JM. And at the same time they also know very well there is no real logical explanation for JK to put the J (meaning JK) over the M if not for the JM.
So they play dumb on the one hand, but turn aggressive toward us for saying it as it is:
That JK ain't no dumb ass that does things without thought, and happened to place the J above the M without noticing the JM all loud and clear.
Tumblr media
Yeah-nah.
This constant underestimating JK and his intelligence, ugh.
The man that showed us loud and clear what JM stood for for him.
Tumblr media
He's the one that wouldn't notice it on his hand, when he decided to place it in that exact place (his ring finger above the M), on the special visit he made to the tattoo artist to add the J to the already existing ARMY on his hand...
Me taking a big breath and moving on to the next infuriating thing...
JK was adorable talking about Vibe, singing it, knowing JM's lyrics to a T. And yet every single thing this man does is twisted.
He just can't do right by this fandom.
And the latest joke I heard today was those so scared of admitting JK knew Sam Smith's Unholy, like knew the whole song and 'unholy' clip, that they stoop to convincing themselves that he doesn't actually know the song, not really, it's what he's seen on Tiktok, that's it.
So, for those jokers, if by any chance they are here in my space reading these lines, a gift from me to you:
youtube
Enjoy!!!
I can assure you that JK sure did!!!
Enjoy it, that is.
Stop underestimating JK.
Stop insulting his intelligence.
JK knows the song.
He knows who performs the song.
Tumblr media
Sam Smith, who identifies himself as non-binary and genderqueer, and Kim Petra, a transgender woman.
Kim Petra, who happens to be the first transgender woman to ever win a Grammy.
I was so sad BTS didn't get that coveted prize, but if to lose, well there is NO ONE else I would have rather lost to.
Tumblr media
To sum it up:
A big chunk of this fandom is ugh.
Tumblr media
JK is adorable and intelligent and knows what he's doing.
We love him to bits.

music for a sushi restaurant - a close reading
well hi!!! hi!!! IT’S HARRY’S FUCKING HOUSE
harry gave us everything that the album is about, condensed in one high speed song as an introduction. it’s his daily life, his career, the industry, his deepest emotions, drugs, thoughts he’s been stuck with, random associations, hiccups, mundane beauty, food, coffee, love. he’s become the beat poet he’s always wanted to be and i’m fucking here for it. LET THE TRUMPETS SOUND HERE WE FUCKING GO
harry’s house, track one
Tumblr media
LYRIC ANALYSIS
MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE
THIS ALBUM IS MIINE MINE MINE MINE
Green eyes, fried rice I could cook an egg on you
hey, i have green eyes!
you're so hot
Late night, game time Coffee on the stove
a first taste of the album: impressions, random snapshots. lots of late nights, lots of coffee, a game here and there
"game time": play a part/game on/competitiveness/hanging out at home
You're sweet ice cream But you could use a flake or two Blue bubblegum twisted round your tongue
you're sweet. you're cream // steal my girl, "kisses like cream"
"flake": a chocolate flake? a flake of salt? (take yourself less seriously. take myself less seriously. take life less seriously)
I don't want you to get lost I don't want you to go broke I want you
i want you to keep your job, i want to keep you around - if we see that as h singing about his own career: he wants to keep shit going
he wants to keep it going - the same way? or: we need to switch shit up, but yeah, i obvs don't want to fuck it up so bad that we go broke
It's 'cause I love you, babe In every kind of way Just a little taste You know I love you, baby
loves his career, loves music, loves performing, loves writing, recording, all of it
about lover: // kmm, "just a little taste"
"Excuse me, a green tea?" Music for a sushi restaurant From ice on rice Music for a sushi restaurant Music for a sushi restaurant Music for whatever you want
nonsense.... right?
people placing their order while his music is playing, while he’s singing
using his voice as an instrument like a jazz singer - sounds like something that perhaps could be performed by the band in the background of a jazz club....... but it’s a bit too intense for that, isn’t it? i’m too loud too outrageous to be played in the background bitch 
"music for whatever you want": the music i write can be for whatever you want
i'm asked to write for different settings, or as many settings as possible, as broad an audience as possible. for the background of your tiktok, if you fuckin will apparently
if this album is put out in the world, it's yours, and you can listen to it however you want
I'm not going to get lost I'm not going to go broke Staying cool
he’s very sure he’s not going to get lost
“cool”: keeping it cool/not getting fed up/fitting in (// ftdt, “i never felt less cool”)
You know I love you, babe
you know. we’ve discussed it. 
about career: reminding himself he really does love it
If the stars were edible And our hearts were never full Could we live with just a taste? Just a taste
IF: but the stars aren’t edible. our hearts are full. and we don’t have to live with just a taste. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. IN EVERY KIND OF WAY. 
“edible” - drugs mention
“stars” - high up in the sky, high on drugs, superstars
-> could we even live with just a taste of the stars - could we live with just a little taste of fame? if our hearts were never full, could we even control ourselves to stop after just a taste of fame? ----- his heart is full, tho, which is why he knows how to pace himself in the wasteland of fame
It's 'cause I love you, babe In every kind of way Just a little taste You know I love you, baby
SYNTHESIS
Track one of Harry’s House hits us around the head, grabs us by the shoulder and shakes us, all while screaming hysterically YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU RIGHT??? So all we can really do is scream back that we do, we know, WE KNOW!!! ! 
It’s the perfect introduction to an album that’s all snapshots, details, chopped sentences and associative rambling. But, obviously, it’s more than that. It’s always more than that; we’re talking about Harry ffs. At first glance, it’s about his lover. He’s so in love he needs to scream about it. This reading holds up, in my opinion, throughout the entire song. Sure, it’s a bit hysterical, and yeah, it’s a bit intense, but sometimes we go a little crazy when we’re in love and we’re so happy we’re stupid. We’ve got some green, some blue. We’re hot as fuck. I want you to be successful. Let me taste you, and not just a little bit. Taste me, a lot. Need some salt?
When we look a little deeper, though, we see some digs and references. Harry explained how he once heard one of his songs play while he was eating at a sushi restaurant, saying it didn’t seem like the right music for that setting. I think that says a lot about how he sees his own music, and how he’s changed in experiencing the role his music can have for others. Especially the line “music for whatever you want” is telling. We can see it as a bit of a salty comment, as in, “i’ll write music for whatever you want! lemme know, i’m a slut for my career anyway, right? I AM HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU” or we could just also see it a bit calmer, as an “i’ve written these songs, and i know what they mean to me, but now that they’re out in the world, they’re yours to do whatever you want with them. i might not think they’re made for a sushi restaurant, but hey, if you do, then i won’t intervene!” 
In general, little words like “cool” always catch my attention, because I can’t help but interpret them as sarcastic, or at least meaning something else than simply cool. “I’m not going to go broke, I’m not going to get lost.” Whoever he’s possibly talking to (including himself), he’s saying, with conviction, that whatever decisions he’s making, or whatever goals he has, he isn’t doing it to fuck himself over. He doesn’t want to lose what he’s worked so hard for. He also genuinely loves it too much. But he needs to stay cool: stay calm, stay in. Stay relevant. And he doesn’t have that as his goal like he used to. I think he means to say: people, guys, besties: stay fucking calm, i know what i’m doing. i’m not gonna get fucking lost, have a little faith in me. as well as i need to stay fucking calm bc people won’t have a little faith in me. and add a dollop of i’m getting there. i’m getting there. but it takes patience and i need to stay cool.
All that to say that what I hear, in this song, is Harry saying: I know what I’m doing. My heart is full, I have a plan, I know my fanbase and I know the industry. Most importantly, I know myself. Faith in the future. and if you still want to play my music in your sushi restaurant then you’ll have to deal with me being loud

“your hand is the only part of you with only minor injuries and the doctor [healer, whatever] is right there and will get mad at me if I move you”
There's your prompt for SC, please. You may spread your love forever now. ☺️
okay so i may have taken some creative liberties + merged this with another prompt i've had sitting in my asks... (also on ao3)
-
“No snuggling,” Alex calls out, without taking her eyes off of the strip of fiberglass she’s been working on. 
Kara groans, dropping back onto her chair. She assumed she was out of her sister’s field of vision. “Remind me what rules we agreed on before I let you in here,” the oldest Danvers demands, in an insufferably righteous tone.
“Don’t distract the patient,” a terribly bored Kara recites. 
“And?”
“Don’t bug you.”
“Exactly. And by constantly trying to invade Lena’s bed and possibly disrupting this entire process, you’re doing both,” the doctor announces while placing the strip onto her patient’s broken leg. She looks up at the overly dramatic Kryptonian who’s been acting like her girlfriend is in need of emergency surgery ever since they arrived. “So I urge you to please, for the love of all that is keeping me from smacking you in the head right now, stop.”
“If you smacked me in the head, I wouldn’t be the one to suffer the consequences,” Kara grumbles under her breath.
Like any self-respecting Director of a secret government organization that fights evil every day would, Alex throws a roll of gauze at her sister.
“Rule number three: don’t be a smart ass.”
“You two are children,” Lena chuckles weakly before turning to face the younger Danvers. “Darling, I’m fine. It was a silly accident, and I’ve dealt with much greater medical misfortunes in this lifetime.” She turns to the redhead, “Alex, thank you for your aid; I’m sure there are much more pressing matters you could be tending to at this moment.”
“You’re having your leg immobilized,” the blonde balks in disagreement, the same time as Alex mumbles something about family coming first without taking her eyes off of her work. 
It’s been nearly a decade since meeting Kara and her abnormally tight-knit group of friends, yet Lena still isn’t sure what to do with that word, so she focuses on replying to her Earth’s Champion without seeming too affected by the warmth that’s taken place in her cheeks. 
“Which is a perfectly common occurrence among those of us who haven’t been granted invulnerability by the radiation of a young star.” Lena extends the arm that didn’t suffer a wrist sprain towards Kara, who, upon taking it, finally aquiesces and sits back down – bright blue eyes watching her with such care, Lena maybe wants to cry a little. She keeps talking instead. “If anything, my ego suffered the worst of it. I can’t believe we’re spending our Sunday in the Med Bay over something as silly as a bit of Halloween preparation gone wrong.”
Truth be told, it is nearly funny how, over months of fighting numerous enemies, the most dangerous battle Lena’s taken part in featured her sense of balance, and a ladder. With Halloween fast approaching, Kara’s excitement has been growing exponentially, and for weeks, she’s watched TikToks of “decor inspo”, then proceeding to eagerly present her favorite ones to Lena – nevermind that they live in an apartment most people can’t even see. 
Of course, Lena relented (happily agreed, more like, because most things that put a smile on her beloved’s face also put a smile on her own). And next thing she knew, she was hanging up purple and orange fairy lights while Kara took a shower break – while performing quite the Taylor Swift concert, by the way. The rest, as they say, is an embarrassing flavor of history.
“Hey,” Lena’s hand is delicately cradled by both of Kara’s; maneuvered until her palm is exposed. Soft lips meet her skin in a gentle kiss, and she looks up at ocean eyes once more. “Any Sunday with you is a nice Sunday.”
The clattering of metal prevents the youngest Luthor from finding a suitable response to blabber out.
“And, thankfully, I’m done,” Alex announces before making a beeline for the door.
Kara giggles, “She’s so extra.” 
Lena’s flawless eyebrow arches in response, “Nia’s been teaching you new slang?”
 “Yeah!” The blonde grins, “I’m cool now.” For all her qualities, Lena isn’t sure her girlfriend has a ‘cool’ bone in her body (which, to her, is perfect- he never fit in with the cool kids).“You’ve always been cool to me, darling”
“And you’re beautiful,” is delivered with butterfly kisses to Lena’s fingertips, which reverberates in her stomach, “and smart, and incredible; and you really don’t have to beat yourself up over this.”
“I- I’m not-”
“You are, a little,” Kara tilts her head as if in question, and Lena gives a minute nod. There’s no reason to lie – it’s no wonder the youngest Luthor has a few problems with failure and making a mess. “And that’s okay. I love you all the more for your less-than-accurate calculations.”
“So you’re saying I made a mistake, are you, now?” The corner of her mouth ticks up in a challenging smirk, and Kara can’t help but be pulled in a little. 
“Mhmm. I think so,” she answers confidently, if a little dazed by the forests that Lena’s eyes hold, then plants a kiss onto the tip of her nose. “Come on, scooch over; I want to be closer to you.”
Already having been leaning into Lena’s space, Kara plasters herself onto the side opposite Lena’s injuries, an arm over her midriff, hands still intertwined. She barely settles her head next to Lena’s when the intercom nearly jolts her onto the floor. 
“I SAID NO SNUGGLING!”
The blonde sticks a tongue out to the security camera, then nuzzles deeper into Lena.
“You’re not the boss of me, I can do what I want,” she declares, then proceeds to fry the devices with just a tad of heat vision.
And- yeah, maybe letting Kara, in all her clumsy glory, near Lena’s drying cast is not a great idea. But, to be honest, the cocoon she finds herself in is far too warm, and far too cozy, for her to be making safe decisions. 
-
thank you very much for the prompt and a special thanks to @autisticlenaluthor and @apple-knees for proof and beta-reading as well as brainstorming with me <3

Trans Head-cannon Thing
[With a drawing included at the end]
I know I kin only mostly male characters and usually its the one that are a bit more feminine and/or fruity in their design or personality. This of course leads to the “what if they were transmasc?” Head-cannon. Which I full support and anyone and everyone can like and believe whatever they want. I am most of the time a big time supporter of the trans head-cannon. But rarely ever enact this head-cannon in my own content because I without fail run into the obstacle of, “if they’re transmasc, then I can’t draw them in pretty dresses!” Then I get sad.
But, and I don’t really know how to explain this, however I have recently looked back at a series and one character I usually ignored within it. (They’re now my favorite character from that series) that series is the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the character is Leo (because of course it is). I’ve also watched the 2003 series and I now realize I am just a Leo kinnie across the board. Minus 2007, he can go die. I used to say I liked Donnie just cause I like purple but now I see the truth. The Donnies were either not fruity enough, were simps, or didn’t get enough screen time for me to get to know them. Thats not say I didn’t enjoy them, all the turtles are great but I am a sucker for the clearly (to some measure) gay ones.
Now you might be saying “2012 Leo isn’t gay. He likes his sister too much for that.” And I get that. In fact after the revelation that Karai was his sister he backed off. But not all the way off, because he kept trying to hangout with her in later seasons. His emo phase literally was spent with him getting in on girls night with Karai and Shinigami and joining them in committing crimes. In those left over ‘signs of a crush’ after the reveal as some call them there weren’t really any blushes or hearts or any clear indication of romantic feelings between them. It mostly was just Leo trying to be a bad boy and doing what he thought was right, hence his emo/goth phase. No one was as emo and goth as Karai so obviously he went to her. All this is too say that yes, while there may have been a bit of romantic feels on Leos part at first. I think that the signs after their (kinda) blood connection was brought to light , cause the turtles were mutated with Splinters blood or DNA and Karai is Splinters daughter, and overall feelings was just ✨gender envy✨.
Cause I mean like everyone agrees that Rise Leo is in some capacity attracted to men. And 2003 Leo is just too but only for Usagi. They both gave me the fruity vibes but 2012 Leos fruity vibes tasted a bit different. I couldn’t put my finger on it until I saw on TikTok that people were saying that he was transfem and therefore was actually a she. And I was like, “yes! Thats it! Thats what the vibes the fruit was giving!”
So may I present to you ✨her✨
Tumblr media
God I haven’t drawn the 2012 turtles since elementary. Muscle memory didn’t kick in or more likely didn’t exist but I’d say this turned out pretty good. So in reference to the problem I presented in the first paragraph I have found the solution of just drawing a transfem character.

But that’s the point of anger. Fans are tired of Taylor pushing the envelope only to then throw the beard is everyone’s faces. Fans don’t want to be harassed because she perpetuates it then degrades it. She should’ve handled it better but she didn’t as per usual. Fans tired of the two-faced persona she’s showing.
Trust me, ABSOLUTELY get why people are mad. I do. I’m disappointed it turned out the way it did and wish she would have worded it a bit differently and would speak out against the homophobic fans. I just can’t help but look at it differently as an older lesbian (I’m even older than Taylor) because know first hand about the pains and struggles of hiding who you are, and screaming for people to get it so that you don’t have to actually come out to them. That’s what I see in her. Hetlors being homophobic and putting their faces on it on TikTok and places like that just proves to me we have a LONG way to go still. Bearding has been around for ages and is still around. It provides cover and even security. And yes, she could stop signaling that she’s gay, but that is just as painful. We don’t know the circumstances of why she beards, what the contract is, etc etc. we just know that she keeps signaling for a reason. And it’s not queerbaiting.
This is just my own personal opinion and I’m definitely not tying to invalidate your feelings of why you and so many gaylors are tired, mad and upset. I totally get why! I’m just trying to stay on the positive side myself, especially considering the context of what else she put in that video, specifically pointing us all to the Mad Men quote. She wanted us to find it. That’s about as loud as she can get without fully coming out, which, for whatever reason that we aren’t privy to (and that’s fine! This is her journey.), she still isn’t ready yet. And if she never is, that’s okay too.

Thinking about how in Denmark. In 2014. Wolves reintroduced themselves to the country after 200 years of being extinct (they walked across the border from Germany, apparently the Wild Boar Fence was not enough to stop them<3)
And it sent the country into a heated discussion where you were either PRO or ANTI wolf.
Anyway I don’t remember when, but eventually some farmer SHOT a wolf, despite this being HIGHLY illegal (i forget the details but he was basically in literally no danger).
And this one guy gets super mad about it, so what do we call him? The Wolf Champion. (Kinda, sorta, “the man who fights for the wolves” doesn’t flow off the tongue nearly as well as Ulveforkæmperen). His name is just as metal though, it’s “Storm Balderson” (am I biased because my name is equally as Norse?? Probably)
So he’s like threatening these people and obviously that’s illegal, so like maybe don’t do that. But also as an autistic person with low empathy I sort of don’t care like these people killed an adult wolf despite wolves having extremely tight-knit family structures where the parents teach their pups everything for at least two years.
Also this all happened in Ulfbeck. Aka Wolf Creek.
And THEN- it becomes spring and this man, this Champion of Wolves, he decides he has to do something as news pop up about the puppies being born.
So he decides to grafitti a church?? (Denmark is not very religious, don’t let the stat of “oh 70% of danes are members of the church” fool you, this is just to make burial easy cause otherwise you can’t go to a graveyard with your family when ya die)
What did he write on the façade of the church?? I’m so glad you asked.
“Blood is not forgotten.” And “Nature before humans.” Absolute banger poetry if you ask me.
So then eventually he’s arrested, and the police is like “??why????”
And ofc the Wolf Champion explains that he did this to get the attention AWAY from rhe pups.
So he gets 40 days in jail, which like…whatever….who cares, removing the graffiti was probably like- a bucket of water and at most two hours of pay for some dude, the tax money certainly isn’t being used to properly take care of the churches so at least they managed to find a use for ‘em.
ANYWAY- skip to the pandemic and I become rather big on Danish Queer Tiktok (yes every genre of tiktok FYP has country specific variants) and somehow I wake up to him FOLLOWING my account. At first I’m like “??” Cause I’m faceblind and I see someone looking scandinavian (idk if american’s get what I’m saying, but Europeans probably get it??) with a lot of tattoos and I think “oh god it’s a nazi” but no. It was him. The Champion of Wolves.
(For guidance: Norse tattoos + Speaks english really well = Nazi. BUT Norse tattoos + Sounds like the swedish chef a bit when speaking english OR like they have a throat conditiom?? = probably just a scandinavian nerd who thinks Valhalla is really cool as a concept)
And he was watching my videos singing about how my internal dialogue has been replaced with Hank Green for two weeks.
The world is small, but Denmark is like a leaf in the garden of life.

Does anyone else watch those teacher skit videos on TikTok by SquireHaligast I think his name is?
Well, if you do, here’s my head canons on the characters, if you care. I might add drawings later if I’m feeling brave, but we’ll see.
To begin, we have Ethan.
Ethan is male, he/him. He has an average group of friends who do average teen things. I wouldn’t say he’s really in any clubs or sports, since he canonically is jaded and apathetic. He slacked off a bit his first two years of high school. Now a senior, he wants to be done with school but he isn’t sure where he wants to go with his life.
During conversation he and Haligast have in the theme episode (the one where Ethan is bored and can’t focus and the assignment is to read a short paragraph and identify the theme), Ethan mocks Haligast by looking through the classifieds. Haligast suggests he be an English teacher, telling him that he’ll have be able to identify theme though. This gets Ethan to focus.
Based on that, my headcanon that Ethan considers becoming a teacher but instead goes on to be a high school counselor instead. He understands what’s it like to be a lost kid, laughing at everything until you wake up one morning and you don’t get the joke anymore. Or maybe you just can’t, because you’re too tired; too bored.
Next up is Sam. I wasn’t sure about their gender at first, but someone said they sound like Brennan Lee Mulligan and after rewatching the “New assigned seats game” episode and the episode where Sam is “upset” about being in Haligast’s class again, here’s what I came up with.
Sam, they/him, chronically intelligent to the point that they don’t see the point in not being in control, because if it were up to these idiots he would never admit he loved, everything would go down like a lead balloon. In the episode where Sam helps Ethan figure out what score he needs on the next assignment, Sam uses language and vocab associated with Dungeons and Dragons. A big part of my headcanon is that Sam not only hosts DND games with his friends, but he convinced Haligast to host the DnD club at the school when he was only a freshman.
Sam seems to have a love/hate relationship with Ethan. Ethan isn’t nearly as smart as Sam, but Ethan is much more flexible. I think that they were friends maybe in the 8th grade or sooner, but as Sam became more and more ahead of the curb, Ethan was further left behind. As seniors, they still hang out in class, but they don’t sit together at lunch and you’ll never catch Ethan in DnD club or Sam at whatever sports game Ethan is pretending to care about.
John! My favorite character, honestly. He/him, John has always been quiet. Everyone is used to it. They don’t expect to speak, so when he finally does (like in the pep assembly episode), they’re taken aback.
But John knows who he is and he cares about his friends and his grades. When he gets a taste of being the teacher, of being someone that important, he realizes that he wants to be seen. He just needed the right stage. He goes on to be a teacher (an English teacher obviously)
The kid in the t shirt. We don’t know their name. We just know that they’re usually the mediator between Sam and Ethan. In the transfer from 3rd period episode, they come off as petty and almost resentful of the kids named from 3rd period, eyeing Alex when they come in.
Until we have a name, my headcanon is that this is the first official girl of the group. I’ve been calling her Emily in my notes, I don’t know why.
But Emily, she/her, doesn’t get involved unless it directly concerns her. In the “Stalemate, Almost” episode where the kids argue over a game, movie, or talking, she tries to direct them to one thing, which prompts Sam to ask if she’ll be boring forever or if she’ll get a personality for Christmas.
Emily is intelligent, but she can disengage unlike Sam. She’s relaxed like Ethan, but she can go toe to toe with Sam. I don’t think we’ve seen her interact with John, but we get two filler characters in “Stalemate, Almost”. One is wearing a long sleeved black shirt and the other is in a grey t shirt. Ethan bargains with the kid in the long sleeved black shirt, and Emily backs him up. Grey t shirt kid counter argues and Emily keeps it up, defending her stance with the other movie people.
Overall, Emily is a chameleon, but she’s not afraid to stand by her friends and her opinions. I definitely think she and Sam are academic rivals.
Alex, the transfer kid, they/her. I choose to believe and she and John are friends, given how they immediately sit next to him and talk about how they’re excited to be in the class.
Alex is from 3rd period, which is described as calmer by their own teacher. I think that means that Alex is hardworking, friendly, and keeps to herself. She’s polite to the others when she walks in, but she directly speaks to John. She greets Sam, who doesn’t actually say hi to her. My headcanon is that she was invited to Sam’s dnd club by a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend and Sam is simply threatened by her.
Alex plays themself off to not be as intelligent as she actually is, claiming she doesn’t know what the counselor meant when they said they had to “even things out”. She comes off as fidgety and nervous, but she’s better at conversation and settling in than John is.
That’s all I have so far. I think it’s kind of weird that I’m making headcanons for these videos, but it’s my comfort show (I know it’s not a show, shut up). Don’t overthink any of this. It’s just for fun.
