my favorite thing about Samakro is how ride or die the man is, yet is so adamant that he’s not. he rationalizes most of it out as being for the greater good of the ascendency, as following his commanding officer well, but it’s really much simpler than that. you earn his loyalty, and he will die for the cause. the ascendancy has his loyalty, and now so does thrawn, personally

#ufsa ‘if you even think about touching our skywalker you’re dead’ ma’ kro #ufsa ‘family politics aren’t my business but I’m pretty sure my CO is being conspired against and someone’s gotta protect him’ ma’kro #like going as far as making it seem like thrawn isn’t breaking regulation when he very much is! and spinning a whole elaborate ruse. just to #keep word from getting back to thurfian and the syndicure #ufsa ‘stick up his ass but will play fast and loose with regulations given the opportunity’ ma’kro #ufsa ‘will keep secrets from the supreme general’ ma’kro #though admittedly that’s more good of the ascendancy stuff. cant tell ba’kif what he’ll tell to the syndicure who will in turn sweep more #shit under the rug #ufsa'mak'ro #thrawn #thrawn ascendancy #lesser evil #sw #z speaks

'I'll be good, Stevie..."

Paring: Harringrove.

TW: Implied/referenced child abuse and domestic violence.

(DON'T KILL ME, THINGS GET BETTER, they're not what they seem. Kinda.)

This thing between Billy and Steve was fragile.

When it first started, they stepped on each other's toes more often than not. 

Steve was always waiting for the day Billy would lash out, shove him or hit him.

No such day came, even in the most heated of arguments, Billy never so much as raised a finger in his face. He'd yell, they both did, but it never went further than that.

Steve never expected he would be the one to back the younger boy into a corner, never considered he would be the one to snap. 

It all still feels like a bad dream. Steve's hand shoving Billy when he'd gotten close enough to the younger.

The way Billy stumbled into the wall, a startled gasp leaving his lips, is forever imprinted in his brain. The look of utter betrayal and hurt his boyfriend shot in his direction was heartbreaking. The look soon morphed into one of barely concealed anxiety, and fear.

Steve still doesn't know what evoked this response out of him. He doesn't know what came over him, he truly doesn't. 

One minute they were shouting, and the next...

Billy had almost immediately began apologizing, his hands shaking as he stepped forward to grasp at Steve before letting his movements stop short, "I-I'll be good, Stevie. I'll be good, 'm sorry…"

He hadn't meant to upset Steve, hadn't meant to make the older of the two so angry he only saw violence as a means of putting Billy in his place. 

And Steve's heart just shattered. His boyfriend was begging for his forgiveness after Steve hurt him. After he hurt him in a way he swore he never would. 

But he had.

Steve's silence seemed to do nothing but send the boy spiraling further, his bottom lip wobbling as he sniffs, hands once again reaching out for Steve.

This time Steve hesitantly gathers Billy in his arms, noting how the boy almost immediately relaxed into his hold.

"Baby, I'm so fucking sorry. I should never put my hands on you...I know better than that. That's not the kind of man I am…" Billy, for his part tenses up briefly before shaking his head, "it's okay. I've had worse…" he pauses, seeming to ignore Steve's immediate interjection, "was my fault anyway. Shouldn't have started yellin'..."

The blond doesn't meet Steve's eye despite the elder's attempts, but Steve presses on.

"No! Fuck, Billy. No. It isn't your fault, it's mine. We yell at each other all the time, but what I did...I crossed a major fucking line."

Billy just shook his head, his face pressing further into Steve's neck as he let out shaky breaths. "Stevie, s'okay...I know you'd never...I know you didn't mean it. I shouldn't have gotten loud. Shouldn't have kept pressing when I knew you weren't havin' a good day.."

The elder tightens his arms around Billy's frame, only gently leaning back to make their eyes meet, "Baby, it's not your fault. You have nothing to be sorry for, please listen to me…"

He pauses briefly, knows Billy is listening from the way he's tensed up in Steve's hold, "you have no idea how sorry I am, bug. I'll forever be sorry."

For a moment, the room is filled with deafening silence before Billy is peering up at the latter, his blues swarming with confusion and doubt, "what makes this any different from when we almost fought last year?" His brows were furrowed, a sign that he was well and truly at a loss and not attempting to rile Steve up. 

Steve takes a breath, lips pursed as he mulls the question over. "We weren't dating then, Billy. Back then, we were just two dumbasses about to fight. But, this…" he cups the boy's cheek, relief flooding his system when Billy shows no signs of discomfort, and instead leans into the touch, "Us...it's not acceptable. You're supposed to be safe with me, you should never be afraid I'll hurt you, like he does…"

The 'He' in question being the blond's shitty father. The sole reason Billy is so willing to forgive Steve for this slip up. Neil Hargrove is the reason for most of Billy's tears, self doubt and general pain in life. 

Steve always vowed to be the opposite of him. He was soft where Neil was harsh and unrelenting. He was warm whereas Neil closely resembles a frozen tundra. 

But, somehow, Steve lost that about himself, no matter how brief, he'd been all too close to being the man Billy feared most in the world.

"Gods, Blue Bird, I will never stop making up for this. I'll never give you another reason to feel unsafe with me. I swear.."

The shorter leans up, quickly pressing a kiss to Steve's lips, the action so feather-like Steve could've imagined it, before he's nodding once. "I know...I trust you, Stevie. M'not afraid of you. Could never be." If not for the fact Billy never broke eye contact, Steve could've easily written it off as him trying to placate his nerves, or sweep an uncomfortable situation under the rug. 

But, as blues held browns, the only thing that was brighter than the love in Billy's eyes, was the truth. 

He wasn't afraid of Steve. 

That felt like enough to have Steve relaxing into their embrace, another apology spilling from his lips as Billy molded their bodies together.

They had shit to work on, that's for sure. But he knew he was safe. He knew that should he decide this relationship was going down, Billy would jump ship with little thought. He'd keep himself safe even if it meant losing Steve.

Found your Danganronpa OCs and I'M IN LOVE WITH THE ART FOR THEM! Assuming you haven't talked about them yet, can I hear more about Polaris by any chance?

Ah! THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! And yes, I’ll tell you more about Polaris!

Getting it out of the way: Polaris is also the Ultimate Soldier. And yes, she’s part of a mercenary group. I know, I know, Mukuro. But she doesn’t exist in this universe, so it shouldn’t matter, we don’t have to bring it up. Okay? Okay.

She go in involved with the mercenary group young, very young. At first it was just so she would have people that would look out for her as she grew up, as her only biological family then was her uncle who joined the group. Growing up, the group sort of became her family as they traveled and helped any population of people that needed protection. It was through these experiences that she developed an inherent need to help people. But she still has to learn that not everyone can be helped with violence and can have their problems solved with just like….chatting. She’s working on it.

As she got older, she learned more about being on the battlefield and was trained to fight with weapons. With that, and all of the knowledge she learned from observing her group in action, she became a pretty skilled fighter very quickly, moving more towards the frontlines with every new mission.

Also important backstory detail! She was very close to her uncle, and he became like father figure to her. He was the main one that taught her everything she knows and he as kind of like her only tie to her life before the constant fighting and running. So she had a very hard time after he was killed during one of their missions. But she had no time to mourn in the moment because she was in the middle of something important. Maybe that experience will shape how she approaches the killing game idk!!!! Haha!!

While she may come off as very stoic and serious, she is very awkward and nervous to talk to people. She didn’t grow up around a lot of teenagers, especially other teenage girls. That and the hostile environment she’s grown accustomed to has led to her being disconnected from other people her age. She’s also just naturally shy with everyone.

But she wants to make friends! She wants to so bad! It was the main reason she accepted the invite to the academy and was okay with leaving her home and group for a little while. She even tried to research on things that people her age like these days. She’s very determined to make at least one friend!

I wonder how that goal will clash with the instant defense mode that activates in her when she finds herself in the killing game.

#i rly like polaris!!! im haven’t portrayed this side of her yet. but i find her personality to be very endearing #she may look rough and rugged but she just wants to hug someone and do fun teenage stuff like sleepovers and gossiping #but she’s also very ‘must protect and attack’ because of the killing game. which makes it very hard for people to view her as approachable. #she’ll figure out something. she’s smart like that #also. to use blorbo logic: she’s the most like kiyotaka in my eyes #the share some similar qualities #anyways. i miss rambling about them. thanks for the ask!!! #ramblepuff #danganronpa #danganronpa ocs #dr:o

Sure is nice having a real-life war hero around here. You must miss it though. One thing about fighting, you sure get to know the stuff you’re made of.

Ravenous (1999) [Deleted Scenes]

#ravenous 1999 #ngl i giffed this part 100% for the pistol twirl #i NEEDED y'all to see it #like. i am Once Again Asking: WHAT. #but asdgsjkgdhjkhkj no SERIOUSLY tho #Boyd being complicit in the military's covering up what really happened to glorify itself and Reich recognizing that and being pissed about #it is something that can actually be so personal #because he's right! Boyd is (unhappily) lying to protect himself! and that IS fucked up! #but it's also like. they're both at Fort Spencer for the same reason... they both represent ugly truths that the US military is trying to #sweep under the rug #but Boyd was shamed into silence while being publicly rewarded while Reich was shamed by the overexposure of his punishment #(court martial... demotion... all that) #so on one hand Reich has a right to be angry that Boyd was rewarded and his 'wrongdoings' covered up #but on the other hand - by fixating his anger on Boyd (an easy and available target) and not the system - he's playing right into #the system's hand #that's what it wants... it WANTS to shame its victims into hating themselves and each other to keep them from seeing the truth #which is that the US is fucking up its soldier's brains and doesn't give a shit if they live or die #and realizing that they have a common interest against it #you see it in the deleted scene where Reich is telling his story too... Boyd is so deep in his own self-hatred that he isn't #really HEARING him #not to quote Dave BWG Mall.oy but #WE ARE ALL IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE #HIDING IN THE DARK FROM THE SINS THAT TELL OUR TALES #AND THE DARKNESS WILL TAKE US DOWN #LEST WE SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER #ONLY THEN WILL WE BE FREE #that's what this is all about to me #and why Boyd can only prevail in the end once he's set shame aside #and - in being honest about himself - is finally able to expose the ugly truths about others as well #(tune in next time for my Boyd-as-Jonah meta that i will someday lay out in great detail but is just insane ramblings in my notes atm)

been feeling mixed on some of my friends recently

#i love them but im gonna explain #i don’t want this to boil over like the twins did #but one of my friends i feel so cast off sometimes #i get it bc shes full time adult job employed now #in healthcare no less #but im just getting fully annoyed at her lack of availability and it makes me sad #im getting even sadder actually bc she also always seems to have time to hang with her uni friends whuch hurts #like im like okay i know you have this from 6-7 so how about we meet for dinner at 7:30 bc i wanna see you casually and she says no #and i think i really need to talk to her bc it makes me sad and then i feel slapped in the face #even on nights out we always have to go home early. which my friend basically said: #i think in future if you wanna go home you can but others shouldn’t have to too #bc my other friend got so sad she was forced to come back early and i was like yea i would have liked to have sat at manly with yall #bc i feel we don’t do this any more #i honestly think it’s better to just let her figure it out and go #i don’t want me to sweep so much shit under the rug until i despise her #bc i know this isn’t her fault i just wish she would let loose or make an effort #my other situation is my childhood best friend #i love her a lot she’s amazing. but but but. sometimes i feel she can be too protective of me. #it comes from a place of knowing me for so long #and i do trust her opinions on people who i surround myself with bc she fucking hated those twins #but sometimes i feel she has been treating me differently since my neurodivergence diagnosis #even with a certain high school friend she held this dislike even when i said she was not like the twins #bc she was hanging out with the twins at the 21st #like this girl was also having her issues with the twins and was the person in the firing line of the breakup #even when i was in nl she was so worried about me and its nice to have her have my back #bc after that guy kissed me directly on the lips she suddenly became concerned about ppl taking advantage of me #and its like to me great she cares but also i did in fact learn from it #but she gets super defensive when ppl take advantage of me and i just wanna her to step back #i just feel sometimes i don’t need her feeling like she needs to protect me or that i need to hang neurodivergence up like a flag #idk its a lot. thank u for listening

also unrelated. i hate to name this evil and therefore invite it into my home but the way some of you on here talk abt KLCK. its the exact same discourse i remember seeing abt a certain spider girl from a certain webcomic ten years ago. nobody can ever be normal abt mentally ill teenage girls it seems

#its so scary. i dont want to go back to that dark place. everybody stop posting abt fantasy high forever please #ive seen posts from beloved mutuals and had the thought “oh you wouldve been insufferable abt vr*ska in 2015” #so many ppl publicly fantazing abt misogynistic violence against a 17 year old......... i think we should all throw our laptops in the ocea #bectxt #op #txt #NOT tagging this one bc its nuclear levels of fucking dangerous to let anybody who doesnt follow me see this post #need to go into witness protection after this #also addendum that this kind of applies to ivy as well the skin rug bit was fucked up and shouldnt have been allowed into the final edit tb #i like lou and respect his work a lot but Dude you just cant fucking say shit like that. its evil

#brushing the ''the animatronics thought i was you'' under the rug for now #maybe the others did but not baby (in this au) #also pondering the implications of mike not being visibly held down by anything as the scooper came at him #would evan believe that mike would just sit still and let it happen? #or is it just Dream Logic #also pondering whether mike would still be the Brave Volunteer in pizzasim #help wanted and security breach are dreams in this too i just have to figure out how they work #maybe security breach is something evan dreams up when he's a little bit older. #maybe he gets locked inside a freddy suit when he's 12 (by michael) and security breach is just #a dream of what evan wishes would happen #evan wishes he could be strong and brave. he wishes freddy could be a strong and familiar face #if freddy is symbolic of mike then it's also evan wishing that his big brother was actually kind and protective #tho ofc there's still vanny and burntrap to puzzle through... hmmm.. #dream theory au

Hello sorry I don’t have anything to say :( but it’s 2 AM and I wanted to share my cat

Hello, I hope you are doing well!🍀 And say hi to the majestic little lion creature from me🥰🥰

I have some Espilver fic musings to offer, if you would like them ^-^ I'm writing/editing the first chapter of New New Beginnings right now, but I don't know how to end it, basically. The idea I have for the chapter is that Espio and Silver are travelling back to the mainland, and very unfortunately for them they come across Sonic and Tails at the docks (I believe Rivals 2 takes place on an island), who are Less Than Pleased about how the whole business with the rings went down. Cue awkwardness, 500% hostility from Silver, and poor Espio really just wanting a break.

I do have the second chapter done, because my way of writing embraces chaos, and in there I have the following paragraph:

But now, he [Espio] was silent, and he had been silent since they’d gotten off the boat and left Sonic and Tails behind. And the silence ate at Silver more than he wanted to admit.

And the part in italics has the following comment of mine attached to it:

 "since he'd torn Silver away from Sonic and dragged him off into some city" --> aka Silver just fucking punched Sonic right in the face

So I at least have an idea about what I want to happen in chapter 1, haha! Now just to find something Sonic can say that's gonna make Silver so pissed he'll throw himself right on top of him For Violence🤔

#what I have written so far is that Sonic and Tails are gonna go to the Chao garden and Silver gets angry at them for going to laze around #instead of doing anything to more actively protect the world #this dude has Many Issues once more #blue's writing #hfevra's cat #I love how your cat stretches out as if he is a little rug <3 <3

So subsequent to being a robodebt victim I sort of fell into this funk of ‘not only is there no point in trying, but in fact it’s better if I don’t, bc every time I have ever tried to do something good it’s backfired horrifically, so I’m just going to make like a tree and exist, no trying to do anything for myself, just drink some water, get some sunlight, and that is all’. And recently, after a few years of living a tree-like existence, I thought ‘you know, this is illogical, like there is no rational correlation between ‘trying’ and the universe taking a big shit on you, let’s just try again, yeah?’ So I signed up for a one hour a week job and the Australian government took that as an excuse to call up all of my previous employers of the last decade to ask for payslips and as an aside tell them all I’m homeless. Additionally all my online government accounts are being overrun with entirely fake income data from a century ago, not to mention apparently thousands of dollars in superannuation I have never had. And the logical part of me is just like ‘ok cool yeah, obviously they’re mistaken, someone just got their wires crossed, it’ll work out’, but that’s exactly what I told myself the last time a whole bunch of fabricated data was flying around my government accounts bc of robodebt, so I already know what’s coming. In conclusion: irrational belief system confirmed✅

#I guess the Australian government figures they swept the robodebt scandal far enough under the rug by now they can resume their bullshit #especially irt the robodebt victims who caused all this hassle for them in the first place #ngl I was expecting this since the class action kicked off #bc the Australian government does not just graciously accept defeat in anything #it doesn't matter if it's coalition or labor #they're literally just two sides of the same coin #they both protecting the same interests #which is the well-being of their own tax-payer funded bank accounts #like hell would they just close the book on a bunch of people who had them cough up $1.9 billion #out of what would have otherwise been their annual bonus fund #robodebt victims been marked since day one of this scandal #that's why it ain't been in the media #why the biggest class action in Australian history is so widely unknown about #even to this day #they been preparing for revenge #that's literally it #auspol #australia #corruption #authoritarianism
