It's such an insult that Daena Targaryen is so often only remembered as this rebellious woman, and there's a whole aspect of her life that gets forgotten.
Yes, she's "Daena the Defiant", but she's also Daena, a teenager trapped in the confines of religion, first in marriage to her brother-husband and then to an actual prison, by decree of the king, said brother-husband. She only got her nickname during her imprisonment. She's also eldest sister to Rhaena and Elaena. Not only is she stuck in an impossible situation herself, she also has to take emotional care of two younger sisters. We know their physical needs were met, but that doesn't change the fact they were jailed.
Imagine being Daena. You are sixteen years old. You have been publicly humiliated by your brother who's also your husband, who refuses act on your marriage. You are suddenly alone and cut off from the world by your fanatic brother, lest you tempt him. Now have to comfort your younger sisters, one of whom is 11 years old who are imprisoned with you. You have to be the mature and stable one and the support system for their sake. Of course she lashed out! Of course she rebelled! Of course she kept trying to break the strict boundaries she was confined in, whether the physical boundaries of the maidenvault or the metaphorical boundaries of the patriarchy fueled by religion.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
didn’t proofread and whatever, i also wrote this months ago but never tried to correct it. words: 1k
clearly suggestive at the end. smut.
minors & men dni!
you weren’t a big fan of going shopping to be honest but you truly loved spending time with your girlfriend, so you were trying your best to enjoy it.
she liked it to a certain point too, not spending unnecessary hours but trying on things she thought were cute and fitted her. you didn’t actually want to buy anything, since you started feeling tired and didn’t have any kind of interest in the clothes there. you were pouting unconsciously and she smiled at you.
“it’s okay if you want to leave darling, i’ll just try on this and we’ll go okay?” ryujin told you since she knew it was enough for you even though you tried to hide it.
“no! don’t worry, i’m fine” you tried your best to seem motivated.
she knew you were trying for her, so she had an idea to make it easier for you.
“uhm, you know what? we could try something” she inched closer to you grabbing you by the hips.
it didn’t matter how many times she did it and showed you with lots of affection, you still felt flustered and a little bit shy but the happiest at the same time.
“yeah? what’s on your mind?” you looked at her with curious eyes.
“you see, we could choose different outfits for each other and trying them on to have some fun. i know you can pull off anything, to be honest” she kissed your forehead so softly you thought you could burst anytime.
ryujin knew you were still working on your confidence from years ago and that was the main reason you lost some interest in fashion, since you felt nothing could look good on you. that perspective of yourself changed a little bit since you met her, even before dating she made sure to remind you how stunning you were and that it’s okay to have insecurities because she didn’t want to push yourself too hard. she knew it was a long process but still reassured you anytime you felt bad with yourself.
it was hard for you to tell she liked you too, since you thought she wouldn’t have any interest in you for your looks. that until she made it clear worshiping your body, loving every bit of you with so much tenderness. you cried the first time she started kissing every part of your body saying how sexy and beautiful you were.
“thank you babe. i think you’re going to look hot on everything too.”
you kissed goodbye even though it was for some minutes and you started looking for clothes having your girlfriend on your mind, so you were having a lot of fun at the mere thought of her wearing those.
finally both of you reunited in the dressing rooms with three outfits for the other. being the only people in there was a relief but you still went into the same fitting room.
“let me see what you got for me”
you gave your girlfriend what you chose for her and she laughed at seeing the tight black dress with a cut out open back.
“you’re really whipped for me, aren’t you princess?”
“in my defense, you have similar shirts! and you’re one to talk when you chose this short skirt” you picked the high waist pleated mini skirt.
“yeah and don’t forget the lace crop top” she smirked at you and you hitted her arm before turning around since it was a surprise.
you felt so comfortable with her that you tried on the outfit and liked it since you thought it fitted you and at the count of three both of you looked at each other and gasped simultaneously.
“oh my. you look so gorgeous for me baby. almost want to fuck in these”
you scotted her but you couldn’t lie. she was driving you insane too, so you kissed her slowly but in a passionate way. you could feel her melting into the kiss as you did so you bite her upper lip making her draw an almost unhereable whine.
“can you just say i look good?” you chuckled. “but yeah, i would love to scratch your back while you make love to me with that dress on” your eyes met when you whispered those words so close she could feel your lips on hers when you did.
“then i'm buying us these” she grabbed you by the hips so she can turn you around as she cornered you to the wall “cause it would be such a pity if i don’t get to remind you how insane you drive me everyday” her hands started to ghost over the curves of your body, squeezing the flesh harshly while she left a trail of kisses down your neck.
your humms and low moans were more than enough for her to grab you by the jaw so now you were looking at the mirror and the way her hands started wandering down your ass, grabbing everything she could as she grinded into you.
“look at yourself baby, the way you look is so sinful yet so breathtaking. hope you could see that too” she moved your panties to the side and grazed your folds, making you whine. “you’re so wet and so ready for me, huh? but i want you to look at you now”
you started sobbing and felt a little bit dizzy, since it was too much, too intense. you couldn’t deny how much you were enjoying it though, because the hold she had on you was so strong it made you feel you could burst anytime.
“tell me y/n, like what you see?” she grabbed you by your cheeks when you looked away from your reflection as her fingers rubbed your clit slowly while she spoke.
“u-uh.”
“words, darling.”
“please….”
she kissed down your neck while her other hand was running under your top to play with your nipples, that’s when you tried to muffle your moans because seeing yourself being fucked so good was driving you insane.
“just wait until we get home then” she said as she walked out of the dressing room and left you there soaking through your panties trying your best to control your breathing.

t4t Steddie sharing a heating pad
I can not get this out of my head.
So, like...
Eddie and Steve spend enough time together for their cycles to sync up. It doesn't happen often, but enough. And both of them already have bad backs.
Eddie has always had absolutely shit posture. He sits crisscross applesauce way more than he should, and slouches down into chairs and overtop books.
Steve's time in athletics gave him great core strength, obviously. But daily rigorous activity really wore down on all the joints in his back. He's probably also one of the types to sleep in increasingly insane positions. A chiropractors worst nightmare, if you will.
On top of that, their bodies have both been beat to hell from their time in the Upsidedown. Steve especially has been knocked to the ground more times than he can count.
So when the time comes, and the first flare of pain makes an appearance, they're both utterly miserable. It's mostly hip pain for Eddie, and for Steve the lower back pain is the worst part of the whole process.
Neither boy has ever had someone in their lives to properly teach them how to deal with these kinds of things. They know to take things like Advil and Tylenol, and to avoid any unwarranted strenuous activity. Sometimes Steve remembers that a warm bath helps.
It kills Robin to watch them struggle through, but it's kind of a sensitive issue, so she tries to help as subtly as she can.
She enlists Nancy in helping her make pointed comments about their own shit, pretending it's a conversation just for the two of them. Talking about things like stretches that help or what specific medications they use for themselves. Stuff like that.
There's a small amount of improvement for the boys after that, though it's not much. But she finally has enough when Steve has a hard time righting himself after picking up a box of tapes.
She goes to the drugstore after work and buys one of those little corn pillow heating-pad things. She has one for herself that her mom got her, and personally thinks its a godsend. But she works at FamilyVideo, she can really only afford one.
She very sheepishly gifts it to the boys, insisting that none of them have to make a big deal out of it, and apologizes that there's only one. They can share.
What she meant was they could take turns. Pass it back and forth kind of deal.
What they actually do?
It's a bag of corn that you put in the microwave, it doesn't exactly hold shape very well.
They try it Robins way for awhile, each of them taking a turn and switching off when it needed to be reheated. But Steve can't ever get the damn thing to stay where he needs it on his back, unless he's laying on his stomach (not his favorite)
Eddie has an easier time keeping it on one hip or another, but trying to use it on both at once never works once the corn settles.
Very quickly, it comes to them putting it between them in bed.
Eddie will help Steve position it where it's needed as he lays on his side, and will hold it in place as he situates it against his own hips. They sleep cuddled up like this anyway, it just makes sense to throw the heating pad into the mix.
So from there on, that's exclusively how they use their miracle bag of corn.
Back to back, front to front, back to front. However they need it.
They refuse to let Robin buy them a second one.

Vampire Chronicles Basics
Okay, with the new Interview with the Vampire show coming out, there’s probably going to be some folks who might be curious about the books and wondering why there’s so much disrespect towards the author. This probably isn’t the ONLY primer, but like, whatever.
Note: I never got around to reading all of her books, and some of this is drawing from memory though wikipedia is helpful.
Contextual History Lesson Time!
As a media criticism type person, I find it important to not examine media in a vacuum, and take into account what was happening at the time it was created.
The timing of the first three books is notable. Interview with a Vampire was released in 1976, The Vampire Lestat was released in 1985, and Queen of the Damned was released in 1988.
So we have one book with gay subtext released post free love movement but prior to gay folks becoming more known in society, then two more released during the aids crisis with the queer subtext/text still going strong. This? This is huge. Reportedly, there were people sending Anne Rice letters about how amazing it was to see themselves in the characters. Some these days might roll their eyes at how subtext might be revolutionary, but please understand. During the aids crisis, the queer community, particularly gay men, were being blamed and discriminated against to horrifying levels to the point gay men still can’t give blood.
So for a book series to have not only the metaphor of penetration and being an outbut but also have these characters seem very gay? It’s huge! It’s like a weight being lifted off, even just temporairly, while you go, “Someone sees me and my situation.”
The Vampire Lestat even had Lestat’s mother questioning her gender and deciding to dress and act more masculine. Sure, these days we’d call it “problematic” trans rep for many reasons, but back in 1985? Except for certain more indie films, trans people weren’t even talked about.
Which is a huge reason the series got big among the queer community, others caught wind, and eventually that movie with Brad Pitt was made.
And now we’re in the 90s with a few things happening. One of which being Anne Rice uh...Firing her editor? Not bothering with an editor? Whatever happened, the quality of writing goes downhill.
Additionally, Anne Rice was going through...a lot, and it shows in her writing. She started as one sect of Christianity, left it after a family member died, was athiest/agnostic for awhile, then went to a different sect of Christianity when another family member died, then eventually was in her own thing of believing in God & Jesus but not following any particular sect. Then she died.
This is relevant, as we see Lestat go from prissy rockstar to literally meeting Jesus. So. There’s that.
Another thing that happened in the 90s was the internet becoming bigger, resulting in things like forums, chatgroups, livejournal, and essentially online fandom. People in the Vampire Chronicles fandom began sharing their fanfiction.
Anne Rice hated that. It was her world, her property, her Gary-Stu, and therefore only she could write Vampire Chronicles. She began suing anyone who was writing fanfiction, yes, even the broke teenagers.
She wasn’t the only one doing this of course, but she was certainly adamant about it. Additionally, there’s an emotional element too. Because her work was one of the few popular media where queers could see themselves in, it was like a betrayal to have her say, “No, I hate anyone who loves this world so much they’d write fic.” (not a real quote btw just how it felt)
This is why many fanfic writers in the 2000s, early 2010s, and a few even today write disclaimers at the top of their fic. Because a “I do not own this property. This property belongs to blah blah blah” was one of the few defenses (however flimsy) fanfic writers had. It’s also why, as of the last time I checked ff.net, Anne Rice’s works are not allowed on that site.
That said, from this backlash against fandom, Archive of Our Own and its lawyers were born. The volunteers of OT3 are why y’all will be able to write Lestat fucking Louis into next week and post it there without worrying about Anne Rice’s estate hounding you.
The Books Themselves
So! With that lengthy history done, what about the books? To start off with, while the movie, and this new show are called “Interview with the Vampire”, that’s just the first book. The series as a whole are The Vampire Chronicles.
So we’ve got:
Interview with the Vampire (1976)
The Vampire Lestat (1985)
The Queen of the Damned (1988)
The Tale of the Body Thief (1992)
Memnoch the Devil (1995, the one where Lestat meets Jesus, a lot of people hate it, I think its hilarious with some interesting theological points)
New Tales of the Vampires-Pandora (1998, prequel about an older Roman vampire) New Tales of the Vampires-Vittorio the Vampire (1999, another prequel, about a 15th century Italian Nobleman vampire)
The Vampire Armand (1998, it’s Armand’s story and also I maintain the first 60 pages reads like an M-rated fanfic on ff.net, which is objectively hilarious imho)
Merrick (2000, crossover with another her series called the Mayfair Witches)
Blood and Gold (2001, now the ancient vampire Marius gets his own origin story.)
Blackwood Farm (2002, more Mayfair Witches crossover)
Blood Canticle (2003, EVEN MORE CROSSOVER also was originally gonna be a conclusion buuuuuuuuuuut)
Prince Lestat (2014, Lestat is back and is facing pressure to lead the vampires because I guess all the ones with enough of a brain cell to go that would be a TERRIBLE idea are dead)
Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantic (2016, I guess we’re now in Atlantis?)
Blood Communion (2018)
As you can see there’s a lot of books and content. Especially because Vampire Chronicles wasn’t her only series. On top of her erotic romance series that even my “sure you can watch Criminal Minds while 9 years old” mom was like, “Do not touch that,” she had her Tales of the Mayfair Witches series, which AMC incidentally also has the rights for. So...Lots of books, one world with vampires and witches and Jesus.
However, because of the drop in quality as well as the level of batshittery (no I’m still not over Lestat going to fucking Atlantis), last I checked the main reads are the first three, with Vampire Armand also being thrown in because I mean, after you see Antonio Banderas as Armand you want to know more about him.
Of course by all means! Read more of the books! Maybe you’ll get a laugh like I did! Maybe the quality doesn’t seem so bad to you! Maybe you enjoy batshittery! 
And if you don’t want to give the Anne Rice estate more money because she was a bad person, there’s plenty of libraries that have the books! Trust me. They do. Some might even have them in ebook version, so you can use apps like overdrive or libby to check them out without even leaving your house!
Appropriation in Vampire Chronicles
This is gonna be short since I’m sure there’s whole pieces about this and I don’t have the books in front of me nor am I part of any of these cultures, but I do want to run over that yes, there’s certainly some cultural appropriation in this series, particularly of Egyptian Culture, but also of voodoo and creole culture.
I want to warn of this, so it doesn’t catch anyone off guard, especially since “Merrick” and “Queen of the Damned” in particular are uh. Full of this. I also have no idea if the more recent books are any better in this regard.
That said, I’m curious about how the AMC tackles these aspects, as its already quite clear they’re not following the books 1:1, which is actually going to make for a better story.
Hopefully all that is helpful!

I'm rewatching some let's plays of Little Nightmares 1&2
And a theory occurs to me (excuse me if im late to the party on this one)
The games revolve around the seven deadly sins.
First game is Gluttony.
From small gluttony; the leaches that would gorge themselves on you.
To big gluttony; the feast taking place on the top deck.
The Maw itself is more an entity than just a ship, feasting on the life force of those who come aboard to keep itself going. Then using the carcasses of those killed to feed the next bunch of people who come aboard.
A cycle that can't sustain itself. If they only allow the most normal people left in the world on board, eventually you're going to run out of people.
The ultimate gluttony, The Maw, is slowly consuming itself, becoming less with each cycle.
The second game revolves around Sloth.
We have small sloth; a couch potato; which is represented by all the TVs that we see.
Then we have the big Sloth, the ultimate conclusion of sloth if you will: Entropy. Things falling apart and decaying into nothing.
The whole city is collapsing in on itself. All clocks have stopped. The majority of things we see are mannequins: never moving, never changing.
Even the ceramic children in the school: never growing, never learning, all stays the same.
The people, if you can call them that, go through their endless repetition, never deviating or changing, until they die, mostly by The Transmission.
The Transmission: the entity of this game is also in a cycle that can't sustain itself. It cannot spread, cannot grow, cannot change, and when the city and all its people are finally gone, there will be nothing left to decay and destroy except itself.
And now I hear chatter on the Internet that development has started on a third game. We may get it late 2024, or early 2025. I wonder what its theme will be. We have greed, pride, wrath, lust and envy to go.
Also: I subscribe to the fan theory that this is a post rapture world. The empty clothing we see scattered around the city in the second game seems to indicate that the good people were taken and the wicked were left behind to be tortured for their sins.
And what has happened to the humans? They are twisted, mutated and most likely insane or mindless in their activities. BUT I'll bet some small part of them is still fully aware of what is happening and they are tortured by the fact they are completely unable to stop themselves going through these mocking parodies of their former lives.
Best example that comes to mind is the school teacher (nightmares 2); spending her days teaching the ceramic children. Who can't learn. Can't grow. Can't progress.
It's an endless cycle for her. No wonder she's driven insane.
And where do Six, Mono, and the others fit into this?
I think its the belief that the very first level of hell is Limbo. A place where people who were good, but not Christian go. Its not bad like hell, it's not good like heaven. It's just a place to be.
This includes children who died before they were baptised.
Hell opens up to take over earth after the rapture. Limbo suddenly can access earth. Those children have a new place to visit.
Trouble is, it also leaves them vulnerable to the demonic influences (the 7 deadly sins) that are also on earth. Influences they wouldn't have encountered if they had stayed in limbo.
Not all of them make it out unchanged.

Personal recap Skate Canada 2023 Men Free Skate
I'd say this was a typical men free skate. Not a splat overall, but couple falls and mistakes. Not something I'd rewatch but also not too bad besides heartbreak for Jun 😭😭😭
Congrats to Sota, Kao and Matteo! 🥳 🥳 🥳
Kao, Kazuki and Matteo were the highlights for me.
Kao skating to Attack on Titan gives him personal bonus points imo. He really did attack his program and the energy throughout was amazing. Kao is easily one of my new Japanese faves. Liked him last season, like him even better now.
Matteo really had an amazing redemption skate. Some jumps were so much off axis I am surprised he landed them. Fix you is a great choice for Matteo.
Kazuki ❤️ I love this program. You could see he was nervous. Sadly the way the program went is not unusual for him. Even though I am not mad for Matteo taking the Bronze I think judges did Kazuki dirty. 81 PCS??? (when Ilia last week had 86???) don't sit right with me. He had the best skating skills of them all. I am not too hopeful Kazuki can still qualify for the GPF as he is facing Shoma, Adam and Sota at CoC, but hope dies last. 🙏
Sota imo really improved in the performance department. I enjoy his skating much more than last season. Shame about the Axels otherwise that opening 4S was tremendous. After all Sota has been through I am very happy for his win. 🥇
Jun was pure heartbreak 💔💔💔Can't say anything else. Devastated for Jun. I really hope he can come back strongly. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mikhail Shaidorow was impressive. I think they lowballed him quite a bit. Also in the SP. His transitions were more complex than most of the field, but it wasn't rewarded. His presentation also ain't that bad, still not much higher PCS than Gorodnitsky...not a fan of his skating in particular just saying...
Canadians altogether were forgettable...Canada really has a problem in developing skaters with a bit more consistency...
Mihhail Selevko started out all right just didn't have enough stamina to pull through, but as the first skater out, could have been a worse start to the comp. Mark Gorodnitsky with a clean free skate left a good impression. I like Liam Kapeikis skating, very lovely - new PB for him probably says everything.
Overall the first group was not worse than the 2nd. It did have ups and downs just like the 2nd group.

Do you think the dhmis teachers have substitutes? Like say tony gets sick one day and then Collin steps in to teach the guys all about time? But he doesn’t know that much about time so he teaches what he knows for maybe 10 minutes and then puts on a brainpop? And then the brainpop ends so he puts on home alone 2? And then when tony gets back he’s like “ok so what did you learn about time?” And the gang is like “we don’t know all we really did was watch home alone 2”
and then tony gets mad and then later in the teacher’s lounge he tells Collin that from now on he’s gonna have sketch fill in for him if he ever needs it?
And then sketch also knows nothing about time and they just make the gang do an art project? so now tony has no substitutes that can actually teach the gang? So they just skip time class every time tony gets sick?
Wouldn’t that be neat?

So I want to learn how to sew, yes? Yes, and I want to make clothes using the draping method ‘cause there are a lot of vintage clothes online accumulating in my Clothes I Want folder and I know I either cannot afford to buy the patterns or find those patterns at all
So draping it is [And I already found a tip on how to transfer draping pieces to pattern pieces, so yay]
But!
There’s this voice in my head reminding me that while it all looks so simple and easy in the video and shit, I just know it’s not going to feel simple and easy when I finally get down to attempting it.
Same shit is what happened with my attempt at doll repainting, I got all the material for it, but when it finally came down to doing it and it didn’t turn out as I thought it would be, I got discouraged and never touched that shit again.
Which is what I’m afraid will happen when I finally do get to start sewing.
And everyone already knows I want to learn to sew, so I don’t want this to be another thing on that list of things that failed to happen.
And now I’m lowkey freaking out about it.

So November. Damn. I’m not shocked, though a little part of me kind of wished they’d suprise drop it during the summer already. But I’m happy there’s something to wait for when autumn comes. 💜 I remember watching s1 in the dark of January, kind of tired and sad, just thinking I’d put on some fluffy teen drama while sitting on the sofa until it was time to go to sleep, and ending up gulping the last moments of it in bed a few hours before I was supposed to wake up for work, just deep dived into this fictional world. It kind of messed up my head a little bit. I remember thinking damn, if s2 doesn’t come out until autumn, it’s going to be almost a year out of my life until the wait is over. Now that’s reality and it’s not that far away anymore. I really do love this series, the way it has spiced up my everyday life during this year, and everybody in the fandom who have made the wait for s2 juicy with edits and speculation. ❤️‍🔥 Love you all, let’s make the these next months legendary with anticipation!

*But it wasn't funny.
Chara Week Day 3: Laughter
[Image Description: An Undertale comic that takes place in the True Lab. Panel 1: Frisk and Chara stand side-by-side, looking at something off-screen to the right. Frisk looks scared and is hugging themself while holding a stick. Chara, a ghost, is translucent and has a similar look of distress on their face. Panel 2: The amalgamate that resembles Snowdrake stands at the opposite end of the room, saying "Sn...o...wy..." Panel 3: A close up of Frisk's face. There are tears in their eyes. They hold their stick in front of themself as they open their mouth to speak, but Chara cuts them off with a laugh from off-screen. Panel 4: Chara holds a hand up to their face, smiling with their eyebrows knit together. They say, "...hehe. You laugh, and keep laughing." Panel 5: Chara is laughing in the foreground, hovering with their knees curled up to their chest and their arms wrapped around themself. They say, "It's SO funny, you can't stop." Frisk is in the background glancing sideways at them with concern. Panel 6: A closeup of Chara's face on a black background. They're laughing even harder and covering their eyes with their hand as tears run down their face. They say, "Tears run down your face." Panel 7: Chara looks to the side at Frisk, hand still covering one side of their face and still smiling, but their laughter dies out. They say, "... What?" Panel 8: Chara floats on a black background, alone, beside Frisk's red soul. They ask, "You didn't do that?" /End ID]

Ok, story idea.
High school setting. 40% of the world’s population has superpowers (because I like superpowers and they make things interesting)
Super heroes and Super villains run amuck just about everywhere. Everyone wants to work for/as a superhero.
First main character. She’s a girl. Short, about 5’ even. Sounds cute, right? No. She’s a powerhouse. More muscular than most professional athletes and can easily beat most strength-enhanced supers in a fist fight(or any other kind), and she proves this fact quite often.
She’s got no physical enhancement powers, she just works out and trains in mixed martial arts(take your pick). She does have a power though, and that’s absolute spacial awareness. She knows the exact position of every single thing around her, and exactly how it’s moving. Think constant spider sense.
She’s also a natural combat talent. Give her literally anything (power, item, situation) and she can figure out how to use it almost instantly. For anything outside of that though? She’s a slow thinker at best. A good thinker, a thorough thinker, but slow.
She’s usually pretty cheery, and can get along with most people a-ok, but the more stressed she gets, the less she can think. The less she can think, the more nervous she gets. The more nervous she gets, the more likely she is to go “Fuck it!” And do/say the first thing she thinks of.
She also likes cute things. Likes being cute too. She’s always to nervous to try because she thinks she doesn’t have the personality for it.
Main motto for discrimination is “we’re all human here, so can we please just stop with the pissing contest already?” (She’s aware there’s more to it than that, but it’s still her general stance)
Second main character. It’s a guy. Around 5’8”, looks rather androgynous and doesn’t really care about it. He’s mute. No one’s sure if it’s selective or natural, but everyone just accepts it. Except, of course, the bully. (Basically just a cocky jock who once looked up the term “Alpha Male” and thought it was a good character model) He is not strong. At all. He’s good academically, but most of his brainpower is for his chosen career.
Which is . . . . (drumroll) . . Fashion Design! For basically anything. Video games, plays, movies, pranks, parties, comfort, fighting demon lords (don’t ask him about the last one though he has PTSD about this one thing) and he’s really good at it.
His power helps with this to, him being able to cast an illusion over his vision, except he’s the only one who can see it, and since he’s mute, only his friends (I imagine fellow fashion enthusiasts and/or people who want free clothes.) know he even has one. It’s not like it effects reality at all, anyways.
(It doesn’t. Right?)
He doesn’t particularly care how he dresses, typically just picking a hoodie and jeans or sweats. Only bothers dressing to impress when he feels like it. (Pettiness, proving a point, making a statement, showing off, or literally just because the can and they felt like it. This can be played with)
The guy comes off as cold hearted, but he’s actually just really shy and bad at reaching out to those who he doesn’t know, and even those he does. But after you get to know him, he’s one of the most expressive people in the room, signing faster than most people can even read.
And yes, sign language. They all know at least a little sign language. Some old super popular hero made it popular and the hype carried over a generation.
So one day, the Bully is doing its thing, and oh no! His victim is the Male Main Character! The bully goes on with insults that the MMC has heard thousands of time before, and their kind of just wondering if they’ll ever hear anything original from this guy.
Sensing his “victim’s” nonchalance, the bully prepares to get physical. Suddenly, he’s stopped by none other than —
The Female Main Character! Who proceeds to absolutely destroy every single bully there. After the dust settles, MMC and FMC lock eyes for the first time.
An overpowered drifter, with no real plans in life, and no intention to change that, takes an interest it the quiet boy her age that has intellect to his eyes and a dream in his soul. Said quite boy finds the short, buff girl that the world has thrown in to his life just as interesting and worthwhile as his friends, with her “the-devil-can-shit-himself” attitude and carefree calling endless drawing him further and further in.
I just wanna see two teens on the way to adulthood with only one traumatic event between them (seriously, do not mention the demon king) work through social barriers and discover an unusual, but healthy relationship.
Also strangers to friends to “their dating but they don’t know it yet” shenanigans sound fun so yeah
Have fun!

personally i think a super important part of jinshi and maoamos relationship (esp at the beginning of the series, though still true) is how they both have had really negative experiences regarding sexually/romantically-natured exchanges. maomao grew up in a brothel, shes seen probably every situation possible under the sun of women being abused, manipulated, lied to, and used for a mans personal benefit. and as such, the typical "sweep her off her feet with honeyed words and false promises" approach doesnt work on her at all, because shes already seen 101 different ways that can go wrong. subconsciously or not, she just instinctively knows that those 'fake'-like people cant be trusted.
jinshi, due to his characteristically beautiful face, has had no shortage of admirers during his time at the rear palace. women that invite him to their room in the evening, give him food with blood or hair or whatever in it, gifts him literal aphrodisiacs. hes willing to use his beauty to get what he wants (never unreasonably, though) but it becomes evident later that he certainly has some kind of complex about it. hes only 19(?) at the beginning of the series, and hes already been working in the rear palace for long enough to garner a strong reputation. the only people hes close to is gaoshun and MAYBE gyokuyou. to him, it probably seems like everyone else only cares about how pretty he is, and ignoring anything beyond that.
and so he meets maomao, who reacts to his advances not just coldly, but with obvious disdain. she sees RIGHT through his false flirty demeanour, and seems to be one of the only few people to do so. he doesnt expect that, and that interests him. not being attracted to his face is, in jinshis eyes, a key trait to have in order to work with him. he seeks maomaos counsel time and time again (bc he likes his new toy but also) because he trusts her to work WITH him, not FOR him; actually using her head to figure out what the best conclusion is, instead of just blindly following him and giving him whatever she thinks would make him happy with her.
after it becomes obvious to him that absolutely none of his advances will work on maomao, he really tones it down and they enter what i call their "bonding stage", which is mostly just dealing with situations around the inner and outer court together. thats where the foundation of their relationship really starts to grow; jinshi values maomao for her intellect and straightforward attitude, and maomao values jinshi for being a genuinely kind and hardworking person. they start to hold each other in higher esteem because they actually see each others real selves, and likewise appreciate that finally someone can see them beyond that metaphorical impersonal veil.

Yandere Miguel O’Hara Headcanons
a/n: there are two routes platonic and romantic, which will be bolded and colour-coded like this, please forgive my spanish i am breaking out my high school spanish classes.
tw: yandere themes, possessive, obsessive, and controlling behaviour, potential spoilers, suggestive themes (romantic route), captivity, canonical inaccuracies, implied neglect (platonic route)
Tumblr media
•Becoming the hero Arachnid wasn’t something you ever planned on happening. You were just going about your regular, every day life when a radioactive spider bit you. The spider that bit you gave you amazing powers that you utilized to become the amazing, the one and only friendly neighbourhood Arachnid! Then, you were suddenly pulled into another dimension that was almost exactly like yours and discovered that you weren’t the only one of well you after all.
•You, alongside other spider-themed heroes, joined forces against Kingpin in order to return to your home dimensions. However, that wasn’t your last adventure with the multiverse. Your next encounter would occur a few months after your first misadventure. Having finished fighting the Green Goblin, you were ready to end the night there. Then, a portal similar to the one that brought you to Miles’ dimension opened up. Out came a tall, well-muscled Spider-Man and a Spider-Woman
•They introduced themselves as Miguel O’Hara and Jessica Drew and informed of the Spider society they’d formed. You were offered membership by them. Well, by Jessica. Miguel was staying silent. You don’t know why, but you felt as though he was watching you. He was, of course, he was right in front of you, but this felt eerie. Your senses were telling you something was wrong but Jessica was so nice and you really were excited and honoured to be given such an opportunity. So, you take it.
Romantic Route:
•Miguel stared at you intently. He’d been watching you for a while now, observing. You resemblance was uncanny— you looked exactly like his spouse. Not his spouse exactly, but the one the other had. You looked like the partner that Miguel had grown to love alongside his daughter. A variant of them. Although he was initially against you joining, it would be easier to watch you— look out for you if you joined the lobby.
•After your acceptance, Miguel tasked Jessica with guiding you around the lobby. He didn’t trust anyone else and he couldn’t bare to do it himself. He couldn’t handle himself around you. It wasn’t just your appearance that was uncanny, it was everything. You mannerisms, habits, likes, interests, everything. How Miguel yearned for you. Yearned to feel your touch, your kiss. Yearned for the happiness he once knew.
•But that would break the canon, wouldn’t it? The memories of his world, his family fading from existence because he broke the canon. He couldn’t let that happen again. So, he behaved coldly towards you. But as Miguel continued to watch you and interact with you, he started to doubt. You were a variant of his partner, but your dimension didn’t have a variant of Miguel O’Hara. Perhaps, he rationalized, this was canon. Your fates were meant to be intertwined. He needed you and you needed him. That was canon.
•Miguel strikes when you least expect. Spends weeks carefully planning. He stalks you, memorizes your routine to a point. He assigns you a mission, not overly-difficult but not easy. Something to tire you out. With your senses dulled and the weariness from the fight left you susceptible to his attack. Quickly, stealthily and by surprise, he subdued you. His sharp fangs biting into the tender skin of your neck, paralyzing you.
•When you come to, you find yourself in an unfamiliar room. Yet there are familiar objects lying around; trinkets and photos that had disappeared. Your spidey-senses were going off the rails and that’s when he came.
“Miguel?”
•He tells you you’re here for your safety and for the safety of your dimension. Swears you’re meant to be with him, that it’s canon. Warns you of the consequences if you break the canon. You stare at him, intaking his audacity. Then, you shriek at him. Call him out on his absolute bull. Miguel sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. He ignores your screeching and leaves. Obviously, you’re still in shock. You’ll come around.
•Almost a month later, lo and behold, you still haven’t come around to being pliant with your captor. Miguel is a man of many things, but patience is not one. He is so very tired, having to deal with Lyla’s teasing and the other Spider’s bullshit. Is it too much to ask to come home to his loving spouse? Just like he used to.
•Apparently, it is. Seeing as you aren’t his spouse, but someone he locked up, you scream at him. Unholy screeches whenever you see him. Today, Miguel’s had enough. Large hands wrap around you and slam you against the headboard of the bed you’re chained too.
“Enough.” He hisses. “¡Mierda! I won’t hear it. ¿Me entienden? You stay here. If the safety of the multiverse won’t convince then maybe the safety of your aunt will.”
•The moment the vague threat passes over you freeze entirely. You’ve lost almost everyone, everyone but her. Carefully, you suck in air. Large tears brim at the edges of your eyes. as you look Miguel directly in the eyes. His eyes, dark and dangerous, bore back into yours.
“Please Miguel,” you whisper. “I’ll stay. I’m sorry. Don’t hurt her.”
•Miguel softens at your submission. However, he still doesn’t trust you. He pulls himself off you and stalks out, leaving you laying on the bed, dazed. From that day forewords, you become more compliant. You listen to Miguel and don’t fight him. Miguel knows that he can’t keep you locked away forever. People were asking questions. With your ‘good’ behaviour, you’ll be granted more privileges. More freedom, if that’s what you can call it. You’ll never truly be free, trapped under Miguel’s watchful eyes. But you’re able to go into the lobby again. To talk with people, even if you do so bearing Miguel’s marks. You know you can’t escape him, not when he could take away the little you had left, not when he would hunt you down through every universe. For now, you know you can’t escape Miguel’s grip.
Platonic Route:
•When Miguel saw you for the first time, he felt the world stop around him. It was as though there was nobody else but you and him. You, who was the only variant of his dead child that wasn’t truly his. He watched as you swung around, mocking villains and making clever quips. Miguel’s heart ached for you, for himself, for his dead daughter and child. As he watched you, memories of holding his child as they died because of him resurface. Once more, does Miguel feel the bitter sting of grief and loss.
•Oh, how Miguel desires to hold you, to cradle you close and never let go. But he can’t, he won’t. You’re not his child. You’re not the child he failed to protect. No, you’re a child he can protect. Thus, his decision to allow you to join the spider-society, if only to watch over you and protect you. Your family clearly isn’t doing a good job at it. Miguel spends more time than necessary looking after you. Not that he meant to, of course. You were just so vulnerable. You needed guidance. You may have been s superhero but you were also a child.
•Under Miguel’s guidance you thrive. He teaches you proper fighting techniques, improves your web-shooters and other tech you have and acts as the father figure you need. His teaching method is firm yet gentle. Miguel remains stern, however, everyone notices how soft he is with you. Life is good in the lobby. To be honest, sometimes you consider staying forever. Or more accurately, Miguel implies you should.
•Yes, he was originally not going to interfere. But it was you who made the decision to stay, so obviously that meant something. And Miguel wouldn’t lie, whenever you returned to your Earth to fulfill your duties as Arachnid, he could barely think he was so worried. Every villain encounter, every scrape and bruise is another chance to fail to protect his child. Miguel gets more desperate over time. Your time in the lobby is almost exclusively spent with him. Every mission is with him, every meal is with him, almost every moment is spent by Miguel’s side. And honestly? You’re starting to get s little sick of it.
•Not that you were complaining. You’re so grateful for the opportunities Miguel gave you, but he’s so overbearing. Maybe it’s normal, you rationalize, you’re family isn’t very close. Besides, you’ve seen Peter B. Parker with Mayday. Even Miguel isn’t that clingy. Your senses are blaring danger and to get away, but your yearning for love and affection suppress them. You continue to push down your instincts until you can’t. Until you decide to listen to your doubts— only to prove them wrong, of course. However, just your luck, your instincts are proven correct. You discover a goddamn tracker implanted in your arm.
•Finally, everything clicks. Everything Miguel does? Not normal! Just creepy, especially this. Thus, you decide to leave. You dig out your tracker and stitch the wound back up. You leave the tracker where you know Miguel will find it and leave, discarding your portal bracelet. You return to your Earth for the final time, intent on never leaving again.
•When Miguel returns to find your tracker and no trace of you, he goes ballistic. You left, he can’t protect you. You’ll get hurt, you’ll die. Miguel can’t risk losing you. He travels to your Earth in search of you. There, he tracks you down to find you losing badly against the Green Goblin. You’re clutch your ribs, bruised and bloody. The moment he sees you like this, Miguel enters a blazing fury. He attacks the Goblin viciously, pounding him until a sickening crunch is heard and the Goblin’s neck snaps. You collapse, from your injuries and the shock of witnessing Miguel kill the Goblin.
•Your chest seizes, hyperventilating. You can hear your heart beat racing as Miguel turns to you. He watches you panic and slowly paces towards you. You attempt to scoot away, but you can barely move. Miguel’s mask is off. You can see his eyes being filled with the same eerie softness as the day you met. Carefully, he leans down and large hands grasp onto you. You struggle as best you can, squirming despite the pain.
“¡Ay! Cariño.” He admonishes gently. “Be still, you’ll hurt yourself.”
•Regardless of his orders, you continue to squirm. Sighing, Miguel extended his fangs and bit down on your neck. Paralyzed, you fall limp in his arms. Carefully, he maneuvers you so to not hurt you. He cradles you to his chest as he inspects you over.
“We’ll get you checked out when we go to your new room. ¿Estàts bien?”
•Unable to do anything, you lay helpless in Miguel’s arms as he takes you to your new fancy prison cell— or room as he calls it. From there, you’ll be safe. Somewhere only Miguel knows, a place he can be certain he can protect you. Yes, you’ll stay locked away in your gilded cage, guarded by Miguel. Safe from the world, from every threat but him.
