#ohhhhh god i need a nap

[sapphicstruggle]

i still can't believe that in what could have been his last moments alive, eddie thought to reach for buck. like, he was dying. he was bleeding out in the middle of the street, shot so close to somewhere that could have been fatal; but he's reaching for buck. the last thing he might've done would've been reaching for buck.

LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

#911 #buddie #that happened on our screens #he reached for him and then it cut to black #ALL HE COULD THINK TO DO WAS REACH OUT AND I'M EXPECTED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THAT??? #ohhhhh god i need a nap #welcome to the void

CHRIS STURNIOLO BF HEADCANONS ⋆˙⟡♡

warnings: none, just fluff!

-

⭑ you better have tylenol, and a whole bunch of patience if you’re with this boy.

⭑ so much energy and expects you to be on the same level as him.

⭑ sometimes he’ll tone it down if you’re having a bad day or if you just need some quiet time.

⭑ at the end of the day, he’s so exhausted that he doesn’t even say goodnight, just knocks out.

⭑ you and chris are cuddled up on his bed, enjoying each other’s presence when you decide to ask his opinion on something.

“chris what do you think about this hoodie?”

chris: 💀😴

you: 😐

⭑ BLANKET HOGGER. doesn’t matter how big or how small the blanket is, you’ll be left shivering while chris is bundled up with 50% of the sheets dragging on the floor.

⭑ on nights where he doesn’t immediately tap out, he’s resting his chin on your head while one hand is playing with your hair and the other caressing your arm while yapping your ear off.

“if you were a chicken, what kinda chicken would you be?”

“chris i swear to god.”

⭑ needs to be touching you in some way. And it’s not always sexually. small touches like, playing with your ears, hand on your thigh, or just playing footsies under the table, contact is his fav.

⭑ whenever he’s in disagreement with his brothers about something he makes sure to throw you into the mix and ask your opinion cus lets be real, you almost always agree with him.

⭑ randomly jabs your side to tickle you whenever there’s a moment of silence between you two.

⭑ asks your opinion on designs for his brand before launching anything. also makes sure you get at least one of every item he’s designed.

⭑ don’t think he’s the jealous or protective type. but if someone is making you uncomfortable he’ll definitely tell them to back off.

⭑ the media found out about you two on accident 💀.

⭑ chris was streaming one day and forgot to tell you but it was too late when you walked into his room unannounced in your grammy pj’s ready to knock tf out when chris let out a loud “ohhhhh shitttt..” when you realized that you were fucked.

⭑ you looked at chris and chris looked at you before you both shrugged your shoulders and went on with what you were doing, honestly not giving af atp.

⭑ comments flooding about who you were, tiktoks posted about you two with dating rumors, had to wait until the next day when chris posted on his story the both of you in skin care hello kitty masks facing the mirror with his arm around your shoulder and you leaning up to give him a peck on the face.

⭑ yeah, yall broke the internet.

⭑ you were featured in the next podcast with you and chris properly talking about your relationship.

⭑ after that chris would post you any chance he got. from cute insta stories, to goofy tiktok trends, he just wanted the world to know about his amazing gf.

⭑ PDA PDA PDA PDA. in the back of the triplets vlogs that you sometimes feature in, fans can spot you and chris in the background hugging with chris sometimes attacking you with kisses.

⭑ just a clingy guy tbh.

⭑ whenever you wake up from one you and chris’ shared afternoon naps to go find something to eat in the kitchen, chris makes his way to you like 2 minutes later and wraps his arms around your waste peeking over your shoulder so he can also have some of what you’re making.

⭑ loves going out and seeing things that remind him of you, but when he’s about to buy it and the store says “we don’t take apple pay” he’s upset for the rest of the day talking about “what fucking store doesn’t take apple pay”

“what kinda guy forgets his wallet…”

⭑ he ends up ordering it for you online 💀

⭑ overall a cute silly guy who just loves to love on you.

-

A/N: i want him. im posting sm cus theres soo many things in my drafts guys, imma try to even my posting days out though, bare with me <3.

THAT HAPPENED ABRUPTLY OKAY START AGAIN

...huh.

You know, I kinda thought we'd be thrown all the way back to the start of the whole adventure. But I guess this makes more sense. Can't go back further than the moment I ate the psychedelic lemon drop.

Hang on, I need a moment to remember. What did I say last time we were here?

Oh, that's right.

I now feel confident in stating that what I saw was, in fact, the curvature of time. I was not prepared to be cursed with that certainty.

Pics or it didn't happen. I am not necessarily required to acknowledge my recent experience as a blood pancake.

The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes. And what I learned was to stand a little more to the left when making statements that could soon become fatally ironic.

Wow, my intrusive thoughts are rude today, fuck.

In my defense, I spent like two minutes combing over every surface in that room. Whatever the trigger was, it was undetectable by mortal hands.

...might have been time. I think Odile suggested a time trigger? We should try to scoot-scoot through the Death Corridor as quickly as possible this time around.

I suppose that makes sense. I now have specialized knowledge that I didn't have be--

HOLD UP WHAT

ARE YOU NOT MY BRAIN

...

Shit, now I'm going to be paranoid all day. Psychedelic lemon drop is the worst trip ever.

BE CHILL

I AM THE VERY PICTURE OF CHILLNESS

MY PENDANT GOES DING DING

...

Shit. Wait. Do I still have that? >_< Ohhhhh, goddammit time. It's not enough to ruin my nap, you've also gotta swipe my ding ding!? RUDE.

Ignore that; I'm having a conversation with The Voice. This doesn't concern you.

This is what it all comes down to. I've been given a second chance to not be History's Greatest Monster. Can I do this? CAN I DO THIS!? I BELIEVE I CAN! I AM PUMPED! I AM THERE! I AM THE MASTER OF DESTINY! ROO ROO ROO ROO!!!

Ignore that too. That's between me and whatever god we believe in. What matters is this:

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THERE IS A CHANGE GOD!!! And we are rocking this change! Everything is right with the universe and I am a... a.... uh....

...MAN of honor and dignity this time! Destiny is mutable and I have the power within myself to not be a blood flapjack!

Probably not going to be a problem this time around but there's a very real chance it will be because recent trapfinding experience tells me that I cannot be relied upon. (☞'ヮ')☞

Oh my god is there really mystical divine power in large flora!?

...

Are all big trees secretly gods? ...do they resent us for climbing them?

I might need to sit down and rethink my entire worldview.

BARRY SERIES FINALE SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!

ohhhhh my god bill hader isnt honophobic for killing noho hank and cristobal and it isnt bury your gays!!!! cristobal and hank were bad people!! they killed people! they were crime lords!!!! barry is about awful people amd hank and cristobol are awful! (i love both of them but. they are very bad!) hank couldnt accept until it was too late that he killed cristobal because of his hunger for power. he would never be satisfied with sand. they would never get a happy ending because their love bloomed on a battlefield and they continued to kill people! hank killed all his men who trusted him!! he is bad! its about how the characters face their consequences. their love story was tragic and beautiful and bloody.

its not like eddie kaspbrak dying for no fucking reason and richie being the one to mourn him, because eddie and richie were good people and shit, THAT is bury your gays, not barry. barry is a tragedy theough and through. its theatre, like the symbol with the two faces - one laughing and one weeping.

Criminal Justice (2007)- Episodes 1-5. Watching Con O'Neill's old stuff cause it's fun. Day #? RALPH STONE!

Warnings: Murder. Blood. Drug Use. Needle Use/Injection is shown on the scene. Drunk driving. Accused/discussed sexual assault. Abusive parents, grief, and general bullshit in the justice system.

Should you watch this if you haven't: YES! Five episodes, each being an hour, but if you don't have any issues with the warning, it should be a fun time. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this show and Con is a very important character! He is on screen more than most of his other tv parts and is having a great time. It's a story about one defendant and the shit that goes down as he's tried for the crime.

Special thanks to:

@dianetastesmetal who I chatted with around midway through about the show! (For me it was ~2 in the morning, so it was a whole lot of fun!)

The Usual Suspects! I would love to hear your thoughts about this show down alone! I want to thank all of you for following me and giving me love. Y'all are enabling my current fixation, and I thank you all! If you haven't seen it, just ignore me <3

Criminal Justice- EP 1 (Guest starring my brother)

Why does that kid look like Benedict Cumberbatch?

He just needs a haircut. That hair looks awful.

This takes place in 2008 right? 

Why didn't the dad knock?

He's going to go have sex, huh, he's not going to his friend's house. 

Is he going to abuse his position here? Pretend he's a cab driver?

I feel like cab drivers are trained to drop a rando with no destination to a hospital or a police station. 

Also, a situation that's only playful because it's a young woman. If this were a homeless person? This shit isn't flying. 

DON'T SHARE YOUR FUCKING DRINKS WITH A STRANGER??!?!?!

I got to inform my brother that in England they call soft-served ice cream 'whippies' after the popular brand 'Mr. Whippy', to which he just said 'it's a clown land'

DRUGS! Here we go!

This is suspicious as fuck. Don't take her booze! She's a chick you just met! 

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

NOOOO! NO. NO. NO. KNIFE GAME IS TAPPING, NOT FUCKING STABBING! WTF! 

Society would be a lot further on if we just stopped caring about peer pressure.

WHAT? HE STABBED HER!?!?!?!?!? WHY ARE THEY FUCKING? 

We have seen so much of this man's ass, why? 

We are 12 minutes in?

Oh. She's dead. She's so dead. 

OH SHIT. Yep thats a stabbing

Brother guesses it was the parent, I say ex lover.

God, he's just bad at this

BRO WENT BACK AND NOW HAS A WITNESS?????

This is an actual ACE ATTORNEY CASE WTF

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. HE THEN CRASHES THE CAR? ACE ATTORNEY LEVELS OF DUMB!

Bro, is this your first break in?

Ohhh he's fucked. 

Ohhhhh, this is the cops best day of his life

Oh, good luck defense attorney Con. You better get Phoenix Wright levels of bullshit. 

Oh my god, don't fucking fight the cops. 

Bro, take a nap. It's been a long night. 

OH MY GOD IT'S HIM. 

Hello Con! Lovely to see you. Love the rat man fit. I know it's on purpose, but damn. He looks wet.

This is where my brother bullies the shit out of Con. 

OH I LOVE HIM-He's actually giving good legal advice! The cops are going to do whatever they can to get a false conviction.

'No comment man'- Hard nose solicitor I FUCKING LOVE IT

RALPH STONE! TROLLIN'. I love it. GOD I LOVE IT.

It's so much easier to be quiet when you're nervous. 

Lessons to be learned from this tv show: Don't random desperate women, don't fall to peer pressure, don't say shit to the police. 

They wouldn't have left her body there. They would have taken photos then taken the body out of the house asap. It's weird they've waited so long to investigate. 

Solicitation of evidence. It's illegal to receive testimony from a private source without giving the evidence to opposing council. 

Nice that she packed him a sandwich. 

Why is the shitty cops boss so much taller? That's funny. 

Whelp. RIP Ralph, you did all you could. Having the guy almost assault a police officer isn't fun.

OHHHHH!!!!!! RALPH I LOVE IT- GOOD GOD IS HE FUN

Oh this whole detective thing feels illegal. Without his attorney to represent him.

Yeah. Sure. Don't get buddy-buddy with the guy who wants to put you away for years.  

IS THIS DETECTIVE A VILLAIN? Oh, he likes you? FUN.

They're in a public spot, there is no expectation for privacy and this can be recorded, HAHAHAHAHHAHA. GOOD, HE DIDN'T SAY SHIT. 

It's 2007, a bit of weird transphobia was to expected. 

UHHHHH….. I SWEAR TO GOD. DON'T SWAP ATTORNIES!

CLASSIST BRITISH PEOPLE AHHHHH-

OH I'D BE PISSED!!!!!! RALPH IS SO GOOD!!!!!

Oh good, Ralph corrected himself about his client's name and pronouns, nice. 

Ralph at the end of ep 1-'I looked into his eyes, and we vibed. He can't be innocent'

AWWW RALPH STILL WANTS TO HELP HIM EVEN AFTER HE GOT SCREWED OVER BY HIS POSH LAWYERS! God, I love him. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPISODE 2: This is where my brother dipped out, but I summarized as much as I could for him. 

I'm going to be honest I skipped through this ep a ton. I generally got the gyst. I'm here for my guy, you know. 

I watched a bit, but this just establishes our protagonist's life in jail. 

I skipped Ralph's scene/ the trial. Seriously the preview in ep 1 gives you the gist. Read a summary. Etc. His roomie is great.  

AHHH RALPHS SMILE. "I don't care what you'd do as a lawyer, just as a human being" AHHH. 

GOD HIS CELLMATE IS SO GOOD.

HAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAH! WTF?!?!?!??! Oh, poor ralph. You guy just blowing up in court.

At this point, if I was Ralph Stone, I wouldn't really believe him, but that's what that whole grin was for. He just knew our guy was innocent!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 3

Oh good. Protag was able to deep throat the drugs. 

Ralph! AHHH!! God, he has great outfits in this show. 

WHY DOES RALPH HAVE A FOOT THING? I noticed it earlier, but why are we drawing attention to it. 

Oh good, Ralph doesn't want to senselessly tarnish a dead girl's name. Nice. 

THAT FACE! Uh, the reluctant face! Chewing on the lip! 

Ralph! AHHH!! God, he has great outfits in this show. 

WHY DOES RALPH HAVE A FOOT THING? I noticed it earlier, but why are we drawing attention to it. 

Oh good, Ralph doesn't want to senselessly tarnish a dead girl's name. Nice. 

THAT FACE! Uh, the reluctant face! Chewing on the lip! Love it.

Ohhh, god. Ralph's a good actor. That's cute. 

OHH THE DETECTIVE ALSO BEING THERE! SHIT. RALPH RUN!

GOD HIM BEING VAGUE AS SHIT TO A WITNESS! I love it. 

'With alpha brain?' What the fuck?

AHHH! I LOVE RALPH. 

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. I got to see his chest :)

Oh, Ralph doesn't like this at all. But shit. Not much he can do. 

Oh no. It's really not ethical. And this yonger lady is going to mess it up. 

AHAHHAHAAAHAHAAA. THE WIGS! 

Is this inadvertently informing the audience of how fucked the courts can be. Which is both good and bad. People deserve to know exactly what our lawyers know.   

RALPH BEING THE FUCKING SAD DOG MIDDLEMAN THAT NEEDS TO RUN BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM IS SO FUNNY. 

Ralph with glasses gives me life. 

OH SHIT THE FRIEND SHOWED UP?

Okay, this is fun. But maybe let's not make jokes in a murder trial?

I love the one juror struggling to stay awake. Showing that even with all these verbal chess, they still need to convince the jury. 

Hey, babe. If you really fucking hate prison, maybe don't give a shit about how your mom reacts here!

Good on Ralph. Trying to speak up for her. 

(Seeing Ralphs…ex? For the first time) Oh I love them. WHAT ARE THEY ON?

OH SHE MOVED ON, GOD HIS ACTING. A SECOND TO SEE THAT FULL FUCKING FACE JOURNEY! 

Oh good. We can really hate the cops now. I mean, I already did. BUT. 

OHHH DO THEY HAVE FOOTAGE. 

OH, HE COMPLIMENTS RALPH WHEN IT LOOKS GOOD IN FRONT OF THE JURY. 

God I hate her(lead defense lady), but this scene is fun. 

RALPH IS HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME. He's watching the divorced parents fight and he loves it. He should be allowed to smile.

Ha, she's sowing seeds of guilt but that's really not how the law works. 

Ralph-'I told you not to talk two episodes ago, and you do it fucking now?!?!??!?!'

Is Ralph being kinda shitty? Yes. Is there any other option right now? Nope. 

Them showing how mentally I'll people in prison are severely punished without being able to seek help is cool. 

Back to court- OHHHH! SHIT. Yeah, digging at how the medical examiner is only going on prosecution for the state is suspicious as fuck. 

FUCK. ASSHOLE DON'T SAY SHIT! DONT CONTRADICT THE DEFENSE!!!!!

SHIT

Ralph, mentally deciding if now is a good place to just call it a day when his client is just begging to go to jail.

OH ANOTHER FUCKING CON CHARACTER WHO FELL IN LOVE THE WRONG WAY!!?!?!?!??!?!!? Well, that fills out my bingo card. This makes maybe 20 characters. I swear to god, if he ends up sad and alone I will make a Con O'Neill drinking game. 

"Are you calling me a hypocrite?" *Slight head tilt* -ME rolling on the floor laughing

Good on Ralph for staying with him though. 

AWWW. Ralph's an asshole but this is one of the few cases that's gotten to him! I love it. :)

Aww, they are sweet as a couple, but he needs to reorient himself. Find his own center and work on not 'always looking for doubt' before moving on. 

OH GOD! Don't fucking smile Con. It's mean. To me. Personally. 

AHHH! HIS TICKS WHEN HE'S LYING! Okay, that's funny as shit. I love him.

It's good that the main defense younger lady and the defendant trust each other. AND CON'S GRIN!

Say what you will, this man loves his job

OH SO YOU'LL LET THE SENIOR DEFENSE CHAT AND BE EXTRA BUT NOT THE JUNIOR! RUDE!

OHHHH SHIT THEY GAVE HIM BACK (the inhaler) EVIDENCE

AHHHHHHH!H!H!H!H!HH!H!HH HE TOOK EVIDENCE BITCH! It proves that he stayed in her bed

RALPH SMILING AHHHH!H!H!H!H!H!HH!

Oh they're getting him addicted to drugs to keep him loyal. Whelp. That's going to ruin him.

EPISODE 4:

Why is Ralph going into his clients home? 

Ralph(I'm paraphrasing)- Look, I'm a hard ass. I'm a dick who usually has guilty clients and does what he can to abuse loopholes and police mistakes to get them free. If I have a gut feeling, that really fucking matters. So I'm going to do what I can. 

Yeah, the neighbor did it

OHHHH! SHE PULLED RANK ON RALPH AHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Stone is pissed, and doesn't want to freak out in court. OR HE'S GOING TO EXAMINE A WITNESS?

What act is he playing here? I love it. He's being a clever cheeky bastard. Knowing how people want to treat court like they're the important heros that can save the day! AHAHHAH! I love it. 

"Are you the kind of person-"- SHUT THE FUCK UP-He's just trying to establish his character before crushing it.

OHHH THEY ARE ABUSING THE SHIT OUT OF HIS COYNESS AND NERVOUSNESS WHEN TALKING ABOUT SEX. 

AND HE'S HIDING EVIDENCE

Ralph, I love you. Babe. This is the kind of trust in the justice system I need. 

Another court scene goes by without note. But Ralph shows up? Oh boy, I'm typing. 

OOOOHHHH RALPH GETS TO BE A DETECTIVE!

SCENE SKIP

WHY ARE THE CLIENT AND YONGER LADY DEFENSE ATTORNEY SMOOCHIN? EXCUSE ME? ISN'T THAT AGE GAP WEIRD??!?!?!??!?

Oh good. Ralph. 

OH MY GOD HIM FUCKING SITTING ON THE TABLE? Me Moment. Queer? Coded. I'm assigning it to him. I'm giving him an honorary badge even though this is probably one of his straightest roles. 

Ralph- "I like getting my clients off." YEAH so does she! *Ba Dumb Tisk*. See, Ralph is smart. Get entangled with others in the arm of the law, not your fucking client. 

Scene passes without note. But a few prison scenes go by. 

GLASSES!!!!!! Look at them! THE EXAMINER GENUINELY HELPED. I'd also be smiling at him like that. 

Aww, Ralph's trying to ask without asking to hang out with a friend. 

Skipped a bit. Back in court. 

AWW Ralph and the yonger female defense attorney leaning together to chat. 

BRO HE IS SO WHIPPED FOR THE EXAMINER! I LOVE THIS!!!!!

THAT FUCKING SMILE. GOOD FOR HIM! GOOD FOR HELLEN! I love that they're immediately like, yeah, this might be a conflict of witness BUT. She still has a point.

I WOULD BE SWAYED BY HIS CHARM! I HAVE BEEN SWAYED BY HIS CHARM.

DAMN. Good on the friend/witness. 

Oh wow, the cellmate is just as shitty and corrupt as everyone else? I'm shocked. 

I love Ralph trying his best here. 

"You're 46 years old, what do you know about justice?" :0. WOW.

OH SHIT THIS MIGHT FUCK THIS ALL UP. CALLING IN THE DAD IF HE HAS AN ALIBI

OHHHH FUCK. RALPH IS A SECOND FROM STEPPING IN. 

OHHHH FUCK. GOOD ON HER. CALL THE DAD OUT FOR BEING ABUSIVE. 

FUCK if they pull her in the case is fucked. 

YEP RALPH SEES IT! SHIT!!!!!! 

EP 5: 

JURY CONSIDERING VERDICT! 

HI RALPH! LOVE YOU BABE!

Hour and a half deliberation is good! 

Yeah, I should have seen that coming. 

WHELP. SHIT. 

He's going to kill himself within a year. Calling it now. 

That moment when you work the same job as our prisoner protagonist 😐. Hey, don't dis a dishwashing job, protag. It's nice and easy.

HI CON! 

"'Self-deprecating jokes get you out of hard questions'- avoids the question by shoving toast in his mouth"-me. God, I was messaging @dianetastesmetal during this bit. Who pointed out how loving these characters is a form of self-love, and I will partially embrace it. Maybe I just want to see a man with a nice chest and a nice smile huh! ;)

Oh good, the protagonist is doing more drugs. Love that

GLASSES! I AM BACK ON MY WHORE SHIT. 

The hugging of the book! THE GRINNING! AHH!

This is why Ralph is emotionally distant, 'cause he's lost good cases before. HAHAHAHHA HE CAN'T LET IT GO. 

AHHHHH!H!H!H!HH!!H  THE TUFTED-UP HAIR ENTERING THE PRISON!

OH SHIT! RALPH INVESTIGATING THEIR RELATIONSHIP! He's asking the protagonist to sell out his legal advisor! 

No, RALPH IS SO RIGHT! She abused her station and got too close. 

Oh good. Another arm of the law is weird around police reports and evidence. Great.  

AHHH! Her sewing that little tidbit in the cop's head! She's onto him! 

Yeah, good on our protag to stand up for himself. 

Cellmate is going to get killed cause he knew too much, huh. 

Hey, good on the cop for looking into it a bit more. Still a jackass. But you know. 

Skipped a few scenes without note.

OHHH SHIT HE FILED THE SUIT!!!!!!! GOOD ON RALPH! We love a man who cares about giving justice to his client. 

'Frances- out for blood after Ralph is about to ruin her career'

 'Ralph-Half passed out on a couch with a rag over his eyes, already done with this conversation. Ready to throw every insult she directed to him back into his face.'

Ralph knew to get romantically entangled with a medical examiner and not a fucking witness.

GET IT RALPH! God, good for him. SHE ABUSED HER POSITION! She took everything they worked for and threw it all away. She didn't let their client find justice. 

Yeah, cellmate's about to die, huh. 

OHHHH SHIT! GET IT!!!!!! Good on him! Yeah, he's going to get murdered, but good on him. MURDER THAT BASTARD! 

OHHH SHIT. THE ASSHOLE COP HELPED THE MOB! 

GOOD ON THE CHIEF FOR CALLING HIM OUT! DAMN! 

Oh, wow. Ben's life is ruined. He's hooked on drugs, and he thinks he has no prospects in life. 

Now he can't fall asleep without listening to the radio.

Hi Ralph. Why are we talking about your feet? 

Frances is fucked essentially. 

Yeah, going in for a mistrial was the right option. 

Yeah, no. Nothing would have changed if Ben told Ralph the truth the moment they met. Good on Ralph! Giving our protag a bit of closure on this whole thing. Telling that none of this was really his fault.  

Yep. He had his last few free years of youth ripped from him. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final thoughts:

I think the fact that this was a mob member being the real murder and that it was covered up was the real thing here. The entire point and moral the audience was meant to learn. It didn't matter if Ben had the best case, the entire Crown was against him. Ralph and his team could have been the best defense lawyers in the world and it still would have gotten buried. I'm happy the final evidence came out, obviously, but Ben was fucked over in so many ways. Now what life does he have? He lost his friends, his trust in his family, and is now destined to fall back into the system he knows. It's a shame. 

Con: 11+/10. Long hair AND glasses AND he's Exhausted! Perfect role. I want him. I want to be him. He's divorced, and sad, and I love it.

Ralph saved this series for me personally. He was so much fun. I will be updating the Con list here soon to include bit TV roles. Ralph is going to be high on my ranking. We are given a Con character who has REAL impact on the story, introduces the audience to the rules of this world, AND GETS A HAPPY ENDING! It's brilliant. Obviously, there are moral issues to him being such a good defense attorney to allow criminals to get away, but this whole story was about giving Ralph a different perspective. He's a slime-ball but he's not totally against change. Willing to look at other perspectives. He started to genuinely care about his client, and didn't treat it as some weird game of chess. Him genuinely helping the younger defense attorney was nice, especially because he rarely blew up at her for her choices. He did his best to help where he could and didn't take things personally when shit blew up. 

Con's acting here is so fun and fluid! I hate being a person that ties OFMD into everything, but this is kind of what I want Izzy to become. Con's allowed to be fun! He's allowed to be mad, suspicious, have doubt etc. There are a few scenes that got me chuckling just by his face! He feels really confident and comfortable in this role. He talks with his hands! He's a dick, a total slime-ball, but he really cares about getting things done right! I love it. 

Everyone else: 8/10. Nothing really stood out besides our protagonist, and after a quick google, he won an award for this role. Which is deserved. He does great. I liked the characters the show wanted me to like, and vice versa. 

Story 7/10: Intriguing. I had fun, but this show sits more in the turn off your brain and gets swept along by the bullshit, vs trying to solve it yourself. 

Overall. 9/10: I highly recommend it if the tags don't worry you. Con is in this enough to justify a Con watch. I have a thing for Professor esk Con. I will not be ashamed about that. His whole speech about how he was perceived was nice. Now, this is about five hours of commitment, but If you need something longer I'd recommend it.

[originalgenshinscenarios]

OHHHHH I HAVE AN IDEA

How about, Morax, Ei and Venti meeting the reader who is a god and before the Archon war broke out, they went somewere or something and took a long nap. And just now woke up.

So in short, how would the Archon Trio react to a god that slept through the entire Archon war?

You guys really like requesting archon trio lol

Also- I'm gonna write it like almost just after the war so ofc Ei will act more like Shogun and Zhongli will be his old self too.

Morax, Ei and Barbatos meeting a God who slept through archon war

Reader here is gender neutral

Morax

There was a lot on his mind, but he had no time for anything as of late. Although his face as always remained stoic, and he didn't show any signs of stress either.

That's when he came upon an odd domain. He certainly didn't see it earlier, in fact it looked rather hidden.

So he entered it without a single care, he wanted to make sure that nothing suspicious is going on so he didn't exactly explore it.

It was small and the only thing that stood out to him was a figure napping in the middle.

He approached you and recognized you. You were a God that was said to be missing. You disappeared just before the war and now he had found you here. Perhaps you were here for all those years?

Then, he had no time to wonder as you woke up. When you noticed him, you greeted him. While he didn't ask about anything regarding your situation, he had greeted you as well.

He figured it wasn't his business as to why you were here. And since everything was okay, he decided to leave.

You didn't plan on sleeping more so you joined him as the two of you got out of there.

You noticed a lot of changes and eventually asked what happened to everything around Liyue.

He bluntly said without much detail about the war. He wasn't surprised you missed it now that he saw what he saw.

And while he did envy you, he simply didn't care enough to have any opinions of you.

You just happened to take a long nap before the war began. It wasn't really planned on your part and nobody even looked for you. At least nobody he knew didn't.

He didn't offer to help you adjust but if you wanted to know what happened with more detail he'd tell you the story.

He'd appreciate it though if you could wait a moment... After all he needs to settle few things here and there.

If you're willing to accompany him, then by all means. He could answer your questions when he has time.

But he wasn't anyhow friendly towards you. His responses to your questions were short. He didn't look very pleased with your company either.

Ei

As the war ended she felt nothing but emptiness. Before closing herself in though, she went on a walk.

She had no idea herself why she was doing it but her legs carried her on their own. Perhaps she just needed a moment to collect herself and the peaceful outside was just enough for it to be possible.

Then she heard an unusual sound. As she looked for the source she found a small cave.

Although it wasn't any of her business her curiosity made her enter.

As she looked around it was near impossible to not notice you sleeping in the middle of everything.

She didn't really recognize you so she immediately prepared herself for a possible fight.

But before she decided to strike she asked you to identify yourself. Her loud voice caused you to wake up and she ended up having to repeat herself.

As you explained your situation to her she didn't believe you. Not because she found that scenario impossible, but because she didn't trust you.

But since she had no reason to strike you down, just this once she put away her weapon and left without another word.

If you decided to follow her around she simply ignored you at first. She of course stayed on her guard and was ready to protect herself from you should she have to do so.

As you walked in silence she started thinking how much you've missed if your story is really true. Not that it was a bad thing. In fact she wished none of this even happened.

Then again she was sure what she'll do the second she comes back to Inazuma city.

So after that, you didn't hear from her again.

Barbatos

Finally taking a break after the war felt amazing. He sat down with his back resting against a tree ready to fall asleep.

Of course there is still a lot to be done, but perhaps it was for the best to just let himself rest.

Before he got to close his eyes he saw flickering light and of course he decided to check it.

It lead him to a cave. The light turned out to reflect on a few offerings your followers left you before your slumber.

You were gone for so long, nobody visited you anymore since nobody knew where you were.

But to think that you've actually slept through war? Especially one as brutal. No sound from outside was enough to wake you it seems.

He left the cave as he had decided to let you sleep. Before he left however you managed to wake up.

You didn't recognize him, but of course that's because last time you saw him he was smaller... And completely different in general...

He greeted you and re-introduced himself. After that you had a friendly chat.

You ended up staying in the cave for a while as you caught up with what was happening during your sleep.

Barbatos had a really interesting way of describing the history to you... But it didn't stop you from having mixed feelings due to the war you slept through.

But from that point, he helped you adjust to the new world. It wasn't hard but he ended up looking for excuses to talk to you anyways.

Thunder and Shadow

Summary: Five years after Ultima’s defeat, those left behind have no choice  but to push onward in a world still on the precipice of ruin. Left with  all that remains of Clive—her twin boys—both Jill and Joshua do all that  can be to ensure the world they grow up in is one of less strife and  struggle than what came before. But the destruction of the crystals and  the god that created them has left the aether and eikons in a state of  chaotic distress that plagues the entirety of Valisthea. And now, to  have received a letter from the north about stone bearers coming back to  life, Jill has a new mystery to unfold.

At the same time, Clive  finds himself waking on what he thinks must be the western Rosarian  coast, though how he arrived there, he doesn’t know. Nor has he any idea  how much time has passed since that final fight with Ultima. But as he  begins to investigate, he sees a battle of eikonic proportions in the  distance, one that revives old, bitter memories. Ifrit, perhaps, can  make up for wrongs wrought so long ago.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a shadow manipulates them all, his eyes set on those who would become dominants and tools both.

Chapters 1 - 8

Chapter 9

"Ohhhhh, I can't believe it's really youse!" Goetz mooned for the twelfth time.

"Oh, can it, you soft-bellied sod," Charon scolded and thumped him lightly on the stomach, still able to use one hand quite well despite the other being preoccupied holding a cane. "We're all quite amazed—no need to keep spoutin' off about it."

"But Nan!"

"Doubt you've missed the bickerin,'" Blackthorne said from where he stood at Clive's side. "I wouldn't mind a five-year nap if it'd get me some peace and quiet."

"I'd say it has been rather quiet around here, with Mid gone," Vivian interjected.

"Where is she?" Clive asked, even as his eyes flicked to the small courtyard down the stairs to his right. There'd been much celebration upon his initial entrance, much chatter, plenty of questions, before they'd gathered round for breakfast. Elwin—who'd sat on Joshua's right just off the head of the table—had been intent on chattering the whole time, making it difficult to accomplish any substantial conversation. As a result, Joshua and Marleigh together had taken both him and Pup out into the sitting area just off the dining hall, once the two had finished eating. An outside patio, small and separated from the main courtyard.

Eventually, once finished as well, Clive had drifted to stand inside the open doorway, where he could better watch as Joshua kept the twins preoccupied amongst the butterfly garden at the far side. A new edition, as such a thing hadn't been there during Clive's youth.

"Sanbreque, I'd wager," Otto replied. "Was taking her 'airship' out for its maiden voyage and it went down just outside Oriflamme. Hence our esteemed Archduke had to fly into the city on his own two wings."

"Is everyone alright?" Clive asked.

"Oh, right as rain as far as the missives we've got," Otto continued. "Took Tarja along with them, just in case this exact thing happened, but as far as I can read, she's had a boring time of it. Left waiting around for Mid to get the repairs done."

"Tarja with nothing to do?" Clive asked. "She must be absolutely tortured."

"She could afford herself some relaxation," Vivian reasoned. "She's always forcing us into rest, yet takes none for herself."

"I doubt there's any relaxin' to be had on a broken ship with Mid runnin' about," Blackthorne said.

"I offered to give her the spare set of earplugs I've never used," Harpocrates added, hands clasped behind his back, "but she refused." He looked… older. Of all of them, he was the one changed most. Hunched now, where he hadn't been before, and far more wrinkled. They'd all changed a bit, but age it seemed was catching up with some of them faster than others.

"I doubt Tarja would ever put herself in a situation to be caught unawares, frustrations aside," Vivian reasoned.

Harpocrates nodded. "Too true, too true."

[melk917]

Okay I'm pretty sure I've requested something similar with Paul previously, but Nevada as reluctant dog dad? Mans gets some big rottie or cane corso to look tough and all it does is snuggle you on the couch and beg for treats? (Which maybe Nevada eventually gives into? 👀)

Ohhhhh, I love this. Apologies, but it spiraled with the help of @lannister-slings-and-arrows and @pascalispretty. (But no one minds, yeah? lol)

He absolutely went to the shelter looking for the biggest, angriest dog he could find. He settled on a massive rottweiler who had snarled and growled and bared his teeth at everyone who got close.

He brings him home. Names him Killer, as he only just misses sinking his teeth into the hand of one of Nevada’s men who got too close when he was eating. Nevada, asshole that he is, had laughed out loud and claimed “Hey, he’s just got a strong, killer instinct.”

Only… after he brings Killer home, Killer becomes…. A lot less killer.

It’s endlessly frustrating for Nevada. He tries to work him up. To get him to go after his men, strangers, anyone really. This is his guard dog, goddamn it. He’s supposed to be frightening.

But instead, he’s coming up to Nevada when he’s on the couch and flopping down, head on Nevada’s thigh. Heaves a huge doggie sigh. Nevada tries to shake him off at first, but Killer is determined. And eventually, slowly (with no one watching), Nevada will reach out and scratch Killer behind his ears.

Killer will sit under the table when Nevada’s eating, begging for scraps. Nevada can’t resist. Until he gives him something with a bit too much garlic and Killer spends the whole night sick. But if you ask, Nevada will vehemently deny that he was growling at his men to call the vet as he crouched next to Killer, stroking his head, murmuring to him in soothing tones.

Killer will rush new people and they’ll be terrified, thinking he’s coming to bite them. And then he abruptly pulls up and drops and rolls for belly rubs. He demands them. Will glare and growl until you give him what he wants. Which is endless scratches on his belly. Or behind his ears.

If you come to bed late, there’s no room because Killer is spread-eagled on a diagonal over two-thirds and Nevada is taking up the last third. 

"You should have named this asshole, Starfish," you mutter, yanking your pillow and a blanket off the bed and balling them up in your arms.

Nevada is naked, running a hand across his chest and yawning. He scratches absently at Killer’s ears, and the dog gives a happy huff. 

Nevada is sleepy, eyes half-opened, but smug. "You're just jealous he gets to cuddle and you don't.”

All you can do is grind your teeth and stomp out of the room with your stolen bedding because he’s right. Plus, Nevada would never kick Killer out of bed. Or even move him over. (And, anyway, Killer is pretty cute, snuffling and butting his head against Nevada’s ribs.)

You spend the night on the couch, and in the morning, when you complain about your back, the dickface has the pure blinding AUDACITY to look you straight in the eye and tell you: "Well you shouldn't have slept on the couch."

You find yourself buying specialty dog food for him. Until Nevada insists that Killer needs the best, and has his men cook meals for him. (Well, until one of them cooks something that leaves Killer gassy and lethargic. Then Nevada is shoving them out of the way because “Apparently I’m the only one who can fuckin’ do anything right around here.”

Nevada and Killer nap in the patch of sun on the couch together.

If Nevada is injured or sick, Killer knows and won’t leave him. He’s sitting on Nevada’s feet, pressed against his legs or his side, guarding him. Killer is massive, and heavy, and makes a total nuisance of himself, but he is not leaving. Nevada can’t even get up to go to the bathroom. And honestly, he doesn’t want to disturb Killer once he’s dozed off, spread across Nevada’s lap.

God forbid Killer is sick or injured. Nevada is snapping at his men, threatening to kill people over nothing. His coffee isn’t sweet enough and he throws it in the guy’s face. Someone makes a bit too much noise while Killer is sleeping? They get violently thrown out of the room.

But no, it’s not at all that he’s upset and worried about Killer. His men are just fucking incompetant. Killer’s just a dog. He can just replace him. Duh. (What the fuck are you staring at him with that sympathetic knowing look on your face for, eh?)

Yeahh. Killer is really just the laziest, softest dog. He wants to be pet by everyone on walks. Stops every few feet. Pulls towards new people.

Honestly, Nevada is embarrassed to walk Killer himself because the dog is such a slut for affection. You can hear him hissing at him under his breath to "Stop being such a fucking slut, you're embarrassing us." All while Killer has a big doggie smile on his face as yet another person pauses to scratch his ears.

When Killer passes, Nevada 100% gets a tattoo for him. And he absolutely refuses to get another dog because no one can replace Killer. Nevada is emotionally constipated and stubborn enough to decide that if he can't have HIS dog he just won't have any.

He’s so despondent, and angry, and his men have had it. Something has to be done.

So you get him a cat.

This cat…They mutually find each other to be assholes. (Until Nevada is watching tv and the cat comes over to sleep on his lap).

It walks all over him in his sleep and wakes him up and he’s furious. He tries to toss it off of him and the cat GLEEFULLY digs its claws in and holds on. No matter if Nevada is wearing a shirt or not.

You come running because Nevada screams from the other room. And it’s because the cat dug its claws into his bare chest. Nevada is whimpering and swearing and still clutching the cat trying to shake it off of him when you enter the room and the cat just raises its head and stares at you and you could swear you see it smile at you.

The cat is the asshole he had wanted in the first place. It hates everyone who comes into the apartment. And makes it known. There are no exceptions to this rule. It tolerates Nevada. Sometimes. BARELY. 

After the chest claws incident, Nevada visibly tenses when the cat walks on his lap. Scared in his own home, clearly expecting a similar attack and wishing he wore underwear. He’s terrified for his balls.

The cat takes no prisoners.

But Nevada can’t bring himself to declaw her. “I gotta respect the fact that the fucker hates me.“

And "Do you know what they DO to declaw a cat?! I don't even do that to people who owe me money!"

She’s also an indoor/outdoor cat and instead of bringing dead offerings, she brings still twitching ones. And snaps their necks while looking you and Nevada STRAIGHT in the face.

He loathes the fucker, but can respect it. (Which is the cat’s name in the end. Fucker.)

Japan's current greatest soap opera, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers! It's not just a Tsubasa episode, but a Sononi episode, more importantly! What shall come of this incredibly turgid passion play of a dog and a condor that I just simply cannot stop watching? What's Murasame-kun's deal? And most importantly, will Haruka attain her driver's license?! Only one way to find out~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Ah,

-"How do love work???" I've been asking myself that for years, Miss.

-Ohhhhhhhhhh... I forgot about... the penguin.

-You'd better be holding out, Jirou.

-Here we see Sonoza, evolving into a master swordsman just like a manga.

-...or, I suppose Murasame just needs some time to himself, that's wonderful of him.

-"Mother, I crave violence."

-I've actually been doing the dance in my off time, it's really difficult but fun to try and get right.

-Oh that's cute, Haruka's helmet has an oni on it :)

-Oniga Mirai!

-Is the town we're in called "Oniga"? Mirai, Mirai, Mirai... Timeranger?

-Ohhhhh, Haruka's got Mad Racer Baron drivin', don't she?

-...I mean, Naoto's actor is in Geats so I'm not exactly surprised...

-Oh yeah, Haruka's an adult now. Trust me, it ain't getting any easier.

-Ohhhhh, I feel that Haruka. I'm 21 and I still don't wanna get my license. My permit is gonna expire soon too...

-OH MY GOD, HARUKA YOU KILLED THE LADY IN THE TOMORROW RESEARCH JACKET

-Oh, she's alive

-Oh hey Tsubasa! I forgot, you were the reason I was so excited for this episode.

-"Murasame! Kill him!"

-Nooooo, my blorbos are fighting!

-SAN SHARK!

-Ohhhh, he down

-Hello, Sononi.

-"The blorbo from my show is dying. If I cannot see his progress climax in a happy ending, then I shall write his death with my own feather quill instead of Sir Inoue's!"

-Can't do it, huh?

-Even when doomed to die, he still thinks so hard about her.

-Wait, you can't see?

-Sononi, no, don't do that.

-SONONI WHAT THE FUCK

-INOUE

-Oh hey, that's Hiroyuki Matsumoto! He played Nephrite in the live action Sailor Moon show and Gamel in OOO!

-Both shows by Yasuko Kobayashi and appearing in an episode that's a tribute to a Sentai also by Kobayashi, funny that.

-Braceless.

-Haruka, did you learn how to drive from Spongebob?

-Very professional, sensei!

-If only we had walkable cities all over the world, smh

-She's a bird, Tsubasa.

-You don't know, huh?

-Blind Doggy

-Murasame-kun doesn't stand for catfishing.

-"Mother, why has my friend betrayed me? :("

-Don't think! Feel!

-Sounds like absolutely horrendous advice for driving, but

-YOU WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING BACKWARDS OMFG

-Tsubasa was starstruck, huh?

-How kind of him.

-I really have to wonder how Murasame-kun's viewing all this.

-Shark attack-!

-Pachelbel's Canon?

-STAB

-OH SHIT HERE COMES SEYAMA

-You can't call the cops! He IS the cops!

-Okay Sononi, you're kinda making up for all that.

-OH HI TSUYOSHI

-Your wife has an umbrella and a car, doesn't she? ...on second thought, it looks pretty terrible out there, I'd wanna stay home too.

-Hello Crane Lady! That other bird (literal, and metaphorical by "woman" slang definition) from Ideon Tsubasa's entangled with got stabbed and clawed!

-Tsubasa's so desperate to be with Natsumi again, he just "hugs" her without a second thought...

-Yeah, you feel bad, huh Sononi?

-OH THE DOG CAN SEE NOW

-Ooooooh, he's mad!

-Yeah, that's totally reasonable

-And so the dog and bird run off into the storm.

-AND HARUKA'S STILL FUCKING DRIVING

-HARUKA I WAS KIDDING WHEN I SAID "MAD RACER BARON" ARE YOU ON FUCKING CRACK

-Y'know, there were probably like a bajillion other ways you could've gotten that info out of him.

-YOU FUCKING RAN HIM OVER YOU MONSTER

-ONI SISTER!

-"She slammed that car into you. Kill her harder."

-Drive-by! Hit the deck!

-This is fantastic.

-"Mother. I must recharge my batteries. It is nap time."

-Ohhhhh, that's not good. Seyama got the sword.

-Hello, Miraiki!

-Oh, everybody's here!

-Hello, Tarou! Your show has not had you in it yet today!

-Shinichi, Jirou!

-Yeah nice headbutt InuBrother. Totally knocked somebody out.

-LET'S GO, SONONI!

-Daaaaamn, you got him!

-Okay, okay, okay!

-Okay! Okay!

-Taken out of a dramatic moment by time

-Oh shit, time warp.

-Oh, never mind!

-We're just...

-Doing this now!

-That was fruitless!

-Okay!

-"I'll serve you this time instead!"

-Ninja Dog now has Ninja Shark!

-"Kill Crane Lady, and your one true love will return."

-Ohhhh, her eyes be glowin'

-Good on you this episode Sononi, you were great even if you didn't get to really fight today.

-Haruka can now drive!

-Legally.

-"RUN MY COMPANIONS!"

-Christmaaaaas~!

-Wait

-OH MY GOD, THE NOTO ARE SANTA

-Like

-Collectively.

-That's very nice of them :)

-Hahaha! Christmas Festival is coming soooooon~!

Here comes the guyyy (this doodle is from an ask game response lol)

Xerxes is a bull centaur and one of hells three judges (it's the biggest authority position there), he has dominion over the Wrath district (which is alot like it sounds), and it shows on him. Overall he's on the side of blood stained justice and generally a warm hearted man, however he's just a little fucked up <3 To Xerxes, love and hate are not opposites nor necessarily separate. And by hate I mean the sensation of hating something as well as general rage and anger, he's fueled by this, and a love for battle. It's his love language, if you will. This is why he has a strange obsessive relationship to one of heavens judges (also the highest rank there, right below literal God), Ngah. To sum up she's a Karen who loves when things are perfect and sees herself as picture perfection and thinks everything must fit into neat boxes, everyone who doesn't, either isn't trying hard enough or isn't allowed to exist.

Their relationship is like. They hate each other's guts. She's one of the most important people to Xerxes ever (nowadays only coming second to his daughter). She just hates him. He loves her in this weird fucked up way (I mean why else would he hate her so much, right? Why else would they be such diehard enemies? It must be important. Even though she loves torturing him, he loves fighting her so the cycle just hasn't snapped yet. If he can't take her out with him, he will never die. He refuses). It's not romantic, or at least I don't mean it that way, especially since it's a deeply unhealthy, messed up relationship. It's just intense passion and obsession, moreso on Xerxes part, bc as I've explained he has a warped view of what love is (due to being abused in the past)

Oh also to finish this little babble off, he's a trans man and his daughter was made by Ngah, in a deal they made where he broke her out of prison in exchange for da baby. She's actually gained more understanding of and respect towards Xerxes very recently, so despite thinking of him as an enemy, she has people she now hates even more, and so. It's like, hey at least this lesser of two evils is extremely devoted to me! That must be a good thing, right? Because I'm so perfect! (Ngah fucking sucks she's an emotional abuser and serial manipulator she's my evil girlboss I love to hate her <3)

YEAHHH OC LORE !! I was literally so excited to read this <3 so sorry for taking so long, I thought I posted this WAAAY earlier.

OkOk. First things first, ohhhhh my god he is even a CENTAUR !! Right as I thought I COULDN'T love this character even more. Peak character design !! What a fluffy guy ! You'd hardly guess he's so immensely fucked up ! [Affectionate, compliment]. Having to keep track over a bunch of blood thirsty maniacs in a [what I imagine to be] pretty populated district sounds like tough work, and on that first drawing he looks pretty tired- poor guy needs a long nap. I can only presume this guy has been through quite some things, many battles, many losses- Are there any he particularly thinks about ? Was he always in charge of the Wrath district? Has he changed around any policies since he came to power? I'd love to see how this guy deals with stress, all things considered so far. I like to think he just goes outside and starts a fight with the first demon unfortunate enough to cross him.

And the thing about love and hate !!! That's so damn cool !! What a vision of reality, what a nice dichotomy !! And by all means he aint even wrong !! How based ! I do love me some characters influenced by both their personal philosophies and environment, it's so good. You may hate your enemies as much as you are able to love your life……. And his relationship with Ngah. By Stars above. These two have the most divorced energy I've ever seen. Imagine not even being married once but then also being divorced. Rip Xerxes, you would've loved "I love you like an alcoholic" by The Taxpayers.

God this relationship is so interesting to me, just reading about it now is fascinating, and I want even more of it. They hate each other so ardently that at some point it blinds Xerxes that it's love, it conflicts directly with his own worldview, while also being VERY affirming that he's right, like he is supposed to be. They are going to kill each other if they don't stop and both parties know it, but one relishes in that fact while the other might not even care. They're so toxic for each other that it makes them perfect for each other. They have a kid together and they don't even say anything about it it's like "god i hate you so much. fuck you so many times. Here's a kid btw thanks for breaking me out of prison or whatever. Fuck you die don't even perceive me. We do share custody yeah. Shut up though". It's even a Mansplain (Manslaughter) and Girlboss (Girlmurder) relationship…….. God I love these two. The world's most fucked up and insane least heterosexual straight people [/joking]

[Continuation]

Oooh yeah that makes sense !! Its an exchange that doesn't drain their own power source, but that leaves them tired anyway because it's an intense activity then ? It's kinda like like a bank then, like sharing an account and having loans and whatnot :D and Mother works well as a title ! Moms really are just like that.

Also thats so funny im sorry. Imagine being the [second] most powerful thing in the universe only to get turned into an animal without arms. I love that. Poetic justice

What is UP with the nice anons today???? I feel very blessed on top of just waking up from a nice nap.

[ceo-of-lions]

Hello! I was wondering how you made the videos with the faces layered on top and such? I’ve always wanted to make some.

Putting this under a read more because I ended up severely overexplaining (as I do) and i’m not about to remove all this typing I did. Anon I am so sorry if this is ridiculously long and no help at all.

As a disclaimer, this is meant for pc/laptop. Phones can probably do it, but they’re much less capable in general and most editing apps are paid, watermarked, just plain bad, or a mix of those. Also, it’s entirely possible this is a very unnecessarily tiring and inefficient way do do this. This is just how I personally go about it. If this method gives you the ol’ jangle bones (cause it sure does that to me!) and it doesn’t quite feel right of fulfilling then I strongly recommend asking other people on how they do it.

To get started you’ll need a few things beforehand:

✦ A video editor of some kind (I’m using Lightworks; it’s free, unwatermarked, and autosaves your projects if it ever crashes)

✦ A photo editor (I’m using Pixlr E, it’s, again, free, and you don’t need any installation

✦ The video you want to edit characters onto

✦ A render for the charcter with a transparent background

I’m not sure whether or not installing Lightworks has any oddities i need to mention here, but if you (or anyone else) ever gets stuck, don’t hesitate to dm me or shoot me another ask!

First of all, you’re gonna need a good video. Trust me, once you manage to get into The Zone, this is going to be your only obstacle. And it’s an annoying one. Having a source that reliably uploads these kind of “short but sweet” videos (preferably around 30secs long or less) really is half the battle!

Once you’ve got your video chilling somewhere on your pc, you’re going to need a character render (or two) of some kind. Fandom wikias are often good (or at least decent) sources for this. Of course, you’ll need one that has as little covering/touching the character’s face as possible. Once you’ve got your renders, go to Pixlr E, click the blue “open image” button over over on the left get the pic you need n’ open it. After that, it’ll look like this:

Next, you’ll need the crop tool. Go ahead and crop away everything till the face is the main focus.

Once you’ve done that, zoom in and select the cutout tool. Then, select the “draw mask” option and reduce it’s softness all the way down to 0.

Once you have that going, just draw over the character until everything from their chin down is all gone, like this;

And it’s all done! Click “file” in the upper left corner, then “save” to download it. Make sure you save it as a .png file, otherwise the background won’t be transparent. You can just close the tab from here. I recommend taking a break here, get a drink or maybe a snack!

Next, open Lightworks. If it asks you to log in, do so. Take a tutorial if you feel like it. (I strongly recommend watching the “quick start’” video tutorial they have over at the lightworks forums along with some more in-depth ones; for creating simple videos with characters pasted over it, my guide will be all you need, but it might be useful to know how to mess around with audio, crossfades, greenscreen/chromakey, etc.)

Once you’re all free to do what you want, create a new project, give it a name, and set the framerate. (if you don’t know about this one just set it to “auto”) 

Now, it’ll look like this:

Go to the bottom left and select “local files”. From there, select the video and your characters’ faces and import them. (tip: holding ctrl or left shift while clicking allows you to select multiple, don’t remember which one it was www)

Once you have everything, go to the “edit” tab.

Make sure the long red stick-thing at the bottom is all the way at 0, then double click your video to open the source viewer and press “b” (or click the button labeled ‘replace.). Once it’s in the bars at the bottom, you can get rid of the source viewer. Then, if your clip is anywhere under 5 minutes, you’ll be stuck with this gaping hole next to it: 

Right click the empty void and click “close gap” to solve the issue. This is somewhat necessary, because if you export the video afterwards without the gap closed there’ll just be a black screen for 4 minutes. Make sure you don’t have any tracks hidden, otherwise closing the gap won’t work (though you probably won’t have anything hidden if you didn’t click anyting else).

Alright, now for the most soul-murdering part of the process (after looking for the video, of course): Image Key, a.k.a where we actually put the characters’ faces on top of the video. Go ahead and click “VFX” at the top, and you’ll have a menu like this:

In the effect library to the left, select the “key” category and then double click “Image Key”. You’ll need one of these image key effect for each face you’re using. (Also, you can just minimize the color correction if it’s unfolded, we’re not gonna be messing with it.)

So now, we’ve got this! For the sake of simplicity, you can rename the effects to the characters’ names so you don’t mix them up. Under “choose a file,” select the character faces. If you imported them into your project when you started, they should be easily findable under the “Project” tab. Right now, the characters will be in the center, right under one another. You can move the characters by either using the “Position” sliders on the left or by clicking and dragging them with your mouse in the actual video. For the most part, we’ll be doing the latter, but because the faces are stuck under one another in the exact center, you move both of them at the same time. To fix this, move one face away from the other using the slider one time. 

Okay, moving on! This part is important not to skip. Notice the little timer-like icons to the left of the sliders? If you hover over them, it says “Enable/disable keyframes for this parameter.” Click them for every slider under “scale” and “position”. Now, we can start keyframing it; keyframing basically tells the image where it needs to be, when it needs to be in that location, how big, etc. For us, this means that we can make faces move along very fluidly with the video.

By now, we’ve made quite a bit of progress! I recommend taking another break before this to avoid feeling tired. Green tea helps! Once you’ve done that, go ahead and click “Graphs”. Since you enabled the keyframes, your effect should show up with, lo and behold, some graphs to go with ‘em:

I personally work by keyframing one face at a time. To do this undisturbed, I disable the little green light that says “toggle bypass” when you hover over it for the face i’m not going to be keyframing. It hides that face temporarily until i put it back on again. To decide what face i’ll be keyframing first, I just look at whatever face appears in the video first. Once you have the face that appears first, make absolutely positively sure the red bar is at zero to be able to set where and how the image starts out. Then, drag the face onto the poor human soul whose face we’ll be replacing today. Go back to the “settings” tab and slide with the “Scale: Master” until the character’s face is big or small enough for your liking. Then, if the person we want the second character to portray is not on-screen, we click the green (now gray) lamp on the unused face and drag it off: depending on your video format, either to the black on the side (which we’ll crop off when we’re done) or just off-screen if your video is fullscreen. If the person is on-screen, just drag the face on top of that person and adjust size like we did with the first face. These will be the locations the characters start on. Switch the green light back off for your second character, and move back to Graphs.

This is where the “””””fun””””” begins. So, right now, you have your red bar at 0, and you have your character where you want it. We need to move the character’s face frame-by-frame. Luckily, there’s an easier way to move frames: with your arrow keys. Every press with your left or right arrow key moves the video one frame into that direction. Now remember what i said about using your mouse to drag the images where they need to be? It comes in really handy here. Press your right arrow key thrice to move 3 frames ahead, and then drag the image to wherever the face is on that frame. Lightworks will automatically fill in where the image needs to be on the frames in between those frames so you don’t need to precisely move the image on every frame (though this might be helpful on shorther videos or videos where there is very fast movement.) Do this repeatedly until the video ends or the character disappears off-screen. Every 3-4 or so frames. For the remainder of the video. Entertaining. Very, very entertaining. (In short, it’s just: press arrow keys thrice > reposition image > repeat.)

Adding to this, sometimes the characters go off screen and then come back, but the faces move gradually to the spot leading to them appearing too soon. (sounds incredibly vague, I know, but you’ll know what it means when it happens.) To fix this, you need to go into the graphs labeled “position”. It’ll look something like this:

What you need to do here is click somewhere above or below the diagonal line in the middle to move your red line there. Press the arrow with the vertical line to the left to move to the previous keyframe. Copy the numbers that are to the left of the graph, press the arrow with the vertical line to the right, nudge one frame back with your left arrow key, paste the value you just copied over the one that’s already there and then press enter or the plus. That should fix it.

Okay. You have now keyframed all of the faces. It’s all done. Take a break here. I don’t care how determined you are right now. you Gotta. You Just Gotta. get some water, you deserve it.

After getting your water, go back to the “edit” tab at the top, right click your video and select export. Select the format, give it a name, and huzzah! Finally. Unless you have a video format with black edges, then it’ll look somewhat like this. To crop those sides off, we’re going over to Kapwing to crop it off. (You need to register (free) to remove the watermark, and i’m pretty sure Lightworks can also do it, but I haven’t found that option yet and I’m too stubborn to) Once you’re done with that, download it, delete the old version and you’re really done. You deserve a pat on the shoulder now because god fuck if this isn’t one of the most tiring processes to do out of free will (and that times 10 if you’re a slow worker like I am) but honestly making hundreds of people laugh is SO MUCH of a payoff you can’t help but keep wanting to do it wwww

if there’s any more questiong about this or if i forgot something (which i probably did) please shoot me an ask or dm!! all i am physically incapable of doing is simplifying this into less of a wall of text

Guzma babysitting Reader’s Niece

(A/N): BACK ON MY BULLSHIT AGAIN! BUT THIS TIME IT’S NOT ALL THAT SELF-INDULGENT AND MIGHT POSSIBLY BE TURNED INTO A SUPER FIC IF I FEEL LIKE IT

In all honesty i’ve thought about making another largeass super self-indulgent Guzma x Reader mega fic, but I’m not sure if I want to? I don’t know if anybody would read it, so that’s what this post is for!!! If you like this and want to see actual Guzma x Reader with plot and not just fluff drabbles lmk!! I have a bunch of asks to address so maybe i’ll get to that too soon

Anyways, back to the fic.

Mini Summary: (Y/N)’s niece needs to be babysat while (Y/N) is interviewed, so they turn to Guzma and crew to help out for a bit. Chaos ensues.

Rating/Triggers: UH drugs are mentioned but not really? THE KID DOES NOT DO DRUGS!!!! but yeah if that makes you uncomfy i’d be careful with it??\

Pairing: Guzma/Gender Neutral!Reader (I used the honorific ‘Titi’ which is gender neutral for ‘Tia’ or ‘Tio’ [extra thanks to Ocha_Bocha for helping me with that one <3] and tried to make it as gender neutral as possible. Originally this was written with a male reader, and then I went female, and ultimately attempted to eliminate gender completely. [Following the footsteps of Splatoon teehee])

Fic under cut!!!!!

"Are you sure this is a good idea, honey?" You clutch your niece's hand as you approach the large walls that separate Po Town from the rest of Ula'Ula Island. It's not that you don't trust the man who you're leaving her with- in fact, those two have been acquainted previously and seem to get along fairly well- It's his friends who you're concerned about.

"..." Her silence is expected, as the kid isn't all that talkative. Recognizing the young girl's silence, you frown. 

"You can stay in the office lounge if you really want to. I know you aren't the biggest fan of crowds, and um- Guz has some pretty loud friends-" Your explanation of what to be expected is quickly interrupted by a blue haired young man decked in black and white clothing. "Yo yo, what's with the kid?!" 

You arch a brow. You knew that Guzma worked with kids, but this guy couldn't be any older than 15! "I could say the same for you. I'm here to talk to Guzma-"

"Ya mean the boss? Why would some random chick want anything ta do with the leader of the Team Skull, huh?!"

A pink haired girl dressed in the same outfit walks up to the boy, crossing her arms. "Shut it, ya clod. Don't you remember the conversation we had with Boss yesterday?"

Hearing this, the blue haired boy's eyes light up in an epiphany. "Ohhhhh shit- Right-"

"Watch yer fuckin' language around the kiddo." She lightly smacks the back of Dansei's head. "She's in good hands, ma'am."

Another pink haired woman, this one being someone you finally recognize, walks in and smacks both of the delinquents in the head once more. "You say that after cussing, Reese?" 

Thank God. Plumeria. "Hey Plumes-" You smile weakly, waving politely with your free hand. Your niece does the same. Another young man, this one much shorter than the first and with green curly hair scrambles after Plumeria, jumping up and down to be seen. "Sorry about these numskulls. I'll lead y'all to the big boss man, yo. No worries at all, so you can chillax!"

I'm regretting this more and more by the second.

The crew starts whistling some hip hop tune as they make their way to the Shady House, the smaller boy beatboxing. You've taken this time to offer a piggyback ride to your niece, who's politely declined. Are all kids like this? Or is it just her?

Once they approach the boss, Guzma immediately jumps out of his chair, his signature shit-eating grin plastered on his face. "Eyyyyyy! (Y/N)!!! Kiddo!! What's up, homeslice?!" He hops down the stairs and crouches so he can get at eye-level with the young girl, offering his fist for a pound-it.

She bumps her fist against his, smiling just a bit. It's more of a reaction than you expected, at least. "S-sup, Uncle Guzma-" 

Looks like his slang is rubbing off on her. That's cute.

"Thanks for droppin' by, Doll. No need to worry about Little Miss Troublemaker over here, I got it all under control." He picks up your niece and walks over to you, pressing a looooooooongass smooch on your cheek. The other Team Skull members all make mini comments, like "Ewwww-", "Grosss-", and "Cooties-", causing Plumeria to once again smack their heads together. 

You roll your eyes, unable to stop the smirk on your face from growing any further. "Not in front of the kids, Guz." "Ah, right, right- My bad." His shades slide onto his face, hiding the bright red blush that had crept onto his cheeks. "Well, you should probably get goin', ey? The Aether Foundation's one lucky company to have you interviewin' for a position."

"Dork." You boop his nose, then your niece's. "Call me if you need me, okay honey? I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay, Titi (Y/N)-" You smile at the nickname while the others snicker. 'Titi' sounds an awful lot like 'Tittie', and considering three of the 7 people in the room are immature teenagers, there's definitely some laughing going on in the background. Plumeria looks very tired. How does she deal with these kids all the time?

"Alright, I'll be back. Don't light anything on fire, okay?" You yell as you walk off, feeling a slight hint of unease at the idea of leaving your young niece with so many delinquents, even if it's just for a few hours. It'll be fine, though. Guzma's there to keep them from doing anything stupid.

You laugh at the thought. Who am I kidding? He's probably gonna be the one who explodes something first.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The interview itself wasn't all that bad. You're fairly certain that you either aced it or put yourself up for consideration, which in itself helped your confidence just a bit. With the absence of Lusamine and the arrest of several of her chairmen, the foundation was very antsy and in need of someone who could handle the Pokemon Observation department. With your background in medicine and PR, you were rationally on the list of potential replacements, and despite your initial resistance, learning that the company would be run by somebody that WASN'T the manipulative little bitch Lusamine gave you enough comfort to accept the offer for the interview. Was it just an offer or an invitation? You weren't quite sure, but Wick was very insistent on you showing up.

Either way, you're pretty certain you got the job. Good on you. 

You can't help but wonder how your niece is doing, surrounded by so many troublemakers. As you make your way to the entrance of the Shady House, you can hear loud music, causing you to feel a small tint of anxiety. She'll be fine.

You walk up to the door and creak it open, the smell of burnt… whatever the fuck that is flooding your nostrils. Of course. They lit something on fire.

"Guz??" You call out to the empty room. "Plumes? Anybody home?" As expected, there's no response. You start to feel more and more anxious the more ground you start to cover. Where are they? Peeking your head around the corridor, your anxiety comes to its peak when-

"And that's why you should never do drugs, aight?"

H-Huh?

Your niece sits on Guzma's knee as he bounces it up and down, his signature shit-eating grin plastered on his face like usual. Awfully burnt cookies sit on the table, explaining the smell from earlier, and Plumeria seems to be asleep with the other team skull grunts. Are they… napping? Seems like it. 

She nods enthusiastically, taking a bite of a charred cookie and grimacing shortly after, causing the two to both laugh in unison.

"Doesn't matter if it's just for recreational purposes, you could still get hooked, and that's the last thing we want!" Grinning once again, Guzma pokes her forehead.

Hypocrite. You're reminded of the first time you two had kissed, which happened to be shortly after you both had blazed a couple of joints. It's enough to get you laughing, though.

"Huh?! What're you doing here so early? Don't tell me ya flunked THAT bad!" Guzma's eyes widen, a genuine look of bewilderment painted on his face.

"I did not flunk! I think I did great!" You huff, crossing your arms defiantly. "It's suuuuuuuper comforting that you thought I failed, Guz."

"Nononono I was joking!! Right, kiddo??" Your niece quickly nods. "See???? No harm, no foul!"

Arching a brow, you walk up to the two and pick up the young girl. "Mhmmm. Did you have fun, honey?"

She nods again, unable to contain the grin on her face. "Uncle Guzma told me about his Pokemon training! And I got to ride on Golisopod's back!" 

The large bug type pokemon bops up and down upon hearing its name, prompting a smirk from Guzma. "Yeah, I told ya I'd take care of her. She's welcome back anytime, okay?"

"Thanks, Guz." You peck his cheek, and your niece sticks her tongue out, closing her eyes. 

"Icky cooties!!" Where the hell did she hear that? The only people you can think of who'd say such a thing are in the other room snoozing, so- Yeah, actually, you know exactly who taught her that word.

"Well, I'm gonna getchu with my cooties! And my tickles!" You raise a hand menacingly, wiggling your fingers with one eye closed. She immediately curls up, not out of fear, but out of excitement. It's nice to see her so happy again.

After a very long tickle session, you quickly glance at the large grandfather clock, noting the short hand of the clock slowly approaching the number 8. Shit. "We gotta go, kiddo. Your dad isn't gonna be all that happy if we get home any later than 8:30. Besides, it's past your bedtime."

"I bet Uncle Guzma stays up past his bedtime-" She yawns. "Can we stay for a little longer?"

How can I say no to that face? You find yourself incredibly conflicted. Do you tell her you have to leave anyways? Or do you stay and risk getting in trouble by your brother-in-law?

"Eh, as much as I'd love to have you over for longer, kiddo- Look at your Titi (Y/N). They look exhausted."

You smile gratefully at the comment, glad that it doesn't have to be you to tell your niece to go home. "Yeah, I'm beat. We can hang out some other time, okay? I promise." You pat her head and get ready to leave.

"Aww… okay. Bye, Uncle Guzma!! Bye Golisopod!" She holds your hand, and the two of you eventually walk your way back to the car. As you drive away, one thing lingers in your head. You can't think of anything else, in all honesty.

Guzma's great with kids. I should've expected as much, but… I'm glad he gets along with my family.

Your stomach rumbles at the intersection. I'd kill for some malasadas right about now- 

Okay, maybe you CAN think of something else.

[djarinsbeskar]

Rachel you know I am a slut for both cyclist and stitches Din so here are my list of demands 🥺

💤 for stitches Din 🥺

💥 for cyclist Din 🥺

I just know I will be destroyed by both responses.

Feed me, my sweet. Please!

Send me a headcannon!

Ohhhhh Lils, my darling angel! I think these will be perfect HCs. Let's assume that these are AU for the moment 😉

💤 - a napping HC with Stitches!Din

Napping is a luxury on the Razor Crest, let's not beat around the bush. Din hardly sleeps at regular intervals, let alone naps. But there are times, those quite special moments when the stars align: the kid is asleep, you're safe in hyperspace, and Din - for once - feels sleepy.

You'd find him in the pilots chair, his helmet lolling before he would snap back with a jolt, starlting himself awake.

By the third time, you decided to take matters into your own hand.

A hand stretched down over his shoulder, fingers nimbly massaging over the tense muscles in his neck, built up by both stress and the added weight of constantly wearing that beskar helmet.

Your fingers would make him so pliant, soft noises of contentment catching in his modulator, and it wouldn't take much to coax him down into the hold after that - this large, menacing bounty hunter being led with his hand in yours, like an innocent pup down into the hold.

The mat would already be out, and the lights flicked off. And even still, he would grumble a little as you blindly unclasped his armour,

"Can't take it all off, kitten... Might need to keep an eye on the controls..."

It would all be said in soft, sleepy mumbles, no fight in his words-- not even when your fingers trailed up his neck - destination obvious should he want to stop you - to remove his helmet.

The sigh that leaves this man when he's totally free of the armour - in nothing but the pants of his flight suit as you tug him down onto the mat - is nothing short of blissful, the stress and tension and worries he carries every day alleviating as he feels you settle on his chest.

He'd hum when your lips find his in the darkness, a gentle caress that didn't ask for more, and his muscles would relax despite his protests.

"You need a rest, Mando. And the only way you're gonna sleep is if I trap you here" and throw one leg over his hips comfortably

He'd laugh then, a throaty sound that makes you smile while he nuzzles his nose along your cheek, his stubble and scruff tickling your skin before his lips would press achingly soft to your forehead. A slow drag of his lips he is loathed to pull back from.

He doesn't want to protest anymore, can't think of any sane man who would. When you were here, snuggled up against him. No doubt looking at him with that expression you wore whenever you wanted to scold him, but couldn't hide the shining amusement in those gorgeous eyes.

He sighs, a cathartic exhale to expel the last of those errant worries as he settles down, sleep finally overcoming him with the warmth of your body nestled against his and the scent of your hair soothing him.

"What would I do without you, kitten?"

💥- a First fight/Make up HC with Cyclist!Din

Oof. Well, first fights with this particular couple realistically happen before they're actually a couple but I'm gonna write a fic for that, so let's talk about the first fight they get into AS a couple.

Now, Din and his little teacher are both easy going in a relationship. You're candid and affectionate and the exact couple you'd notice in a shopping mall and think "wow, I want that."

But, you're not without flaws. And one of those flaws is, as is normal with Din, communication.

Let's not put all the blame on our dear cyclist just yet though. You aren't the best at communication either

It all comes down, quite simply, to a missed breakfast.

Sunday morning, you woke up nice and early in his arms but snuck out to spend a little extra effort on breakfast-- intent on surprising him with it in bed followed by a little fun too.

But there's a rustle from upstairs, and not a few minutes later Din is down in his gear, pressing a kiss to your cheek and looking over your shoulder with a "looks good, angel. I'll see you when I'm back." and then he's gone.

And you're left with way too much food, no boyfriend to crawl back into bed with and a sour mood that only festers as the hours tick on.

He knows somethings up the minute he gets back too, at 4pm. He knows somethings wrong when you huff and pull from his arms after he wrapped them around you from behind.

Now this man, he'll follow you around with the most bewildered look on his face trying to figure out what the hell happened to turn his angel into a demon as you stomp around the house, annoyance clear on your face.

"Angel for god sake what did I do?" he'd finally cave, still in his cycle gear - shower forgotten for now.

And then you'd just huff a bit more, because not it seemed stupid in your mind.

"You didn't tell me you were going out for the day and I--" you'd indicate to the leftovers from the wasted breakfast sitting in the fridge. And man, would Din feel shitty for that.

He's not argumentative, so it's rare that you'd actually get into massive fights with each other. He'd just try to wear you down with bear hugs and nuzzles and kisses to your face and neck as he murmurs how sorry he is- how he forgot to tell you, that you should've texted him, told him--

You'd roll your eyes. As if you'd text him something so passive aggressive. But you're smiling, because his honest eyes show his remorse and you melt, give him a kiss and tell him to go shower. He stinks.

"Makeup sex in the shower, angel?"

"Din we hardly fought"

"C'mon baby, any excuse to fuck your brains out"

And he'd drag you along with him to get cleaned up and dirtier at the same time.
