calling cdream morally gray because he "wants to keep the server together" instantly unravels when you remember he's the one who tore it apart
#yeah he really saved the server when he escalated a mass slaughter and drove a kid to almost suicide for months cackling the whole time#not only is his 'ooo he just wants to keep everyone united 🥺' more of a shaky informed attribute (perpetuated by him AND his fans)#but even with that reasoning . how would that make him less of a villian lol#morally grey doesn't mean evil but maybe sad about it. morally gray means the webbing between hero and villain: bad actions for good of not#understandble reasons#and this is your good reason? that's where you throw your hands up and go well. i'd understand?#because idk how to tell you he paved the way for every single bad thing that happened to him and Not on purpose#he didnt expect sap+george to leave even after he kept trampling and abandoning them#and what goal was there with exile specifically? people Don't Know what happened there by his own fucking choice.#'yes i beat and abused and killed a kid and tried to condition him to be a Plaything for me'#'and i laughed the whole time and hid it from everyone so no one knows what i did and i wont talk about it either'#'but wasnt my reason so noble?' shut up BOY you guys sound RIDICULOUS#wheres the moral grayness in that?? where's the well actually??? wheres the 'performance' cdream apologists swear exists?#it's cuz there isnt 😭 hes just Actually like that and he likes doing it#having more than surface level thoughts and feelings abt situations doesnt make you morally gray it makes you a person#and it doesnt and Wouldnt detract from the harm he keeps choosing to cause#huri.txt#cometdontlook

i think my constant seething rage is honestly very reasonable. i literally live in florida.
#got in argument with a guy the other day abt idk. trans athletes#was basically him trying to explain what the issue is to me (i know. that's kinda step one to having an opinion on it.)#and then going yeah huh i guess you're actually right (i was)#and i was like okay great cool we're done here let me go to class and he starts talking about like#how he still loves trump for this and that reason kinda unprompted (sorry you lost an argument dude go introspect somewhere else im LATE)#and i was like yeah idk abt that. on account of all the corruption. and the foreign policy youre saying is like manly macho man strong is#mostly just wildly stupid posturing that's going to achieve nothing at best and world war at worst#and he goes no don't worry i think DESANTIS would be better for 2024 actually#and i. UNDERSTANDBLY. was like oh okay i cannot speak to you (because i am visibly shaking with rage)#and he goes well i think you are misattributing my intentions (cunt.)#and i said no no i don't think you're malicious i just think you're stupid and wildly misinformed#and then left bc i was about to either hit him or start crying (bc that guy has been like very tangibly ruining my life for months#and i genuinely cannot fathom what fucking tax issue or whatever one would value over like. my right to idk. Exist atp.#and also this coming from someone who just tried to be like no i know so many trans people i love trans ppl im not like those conservatives#like try to dig deep down into whatever rotted husk of a brain is left in your skull and fathom why i might have a strong reaction to your#support for DESANTIS and the SPACE LASERS WOMAN#you fucking idiot.)#and was that civil. No. and now i have to apologize to him bc i feel bad about it even though i fully meant it#idk its what i get for trying to change peoples minds with stupid things like#' statistics ' and ' a utilitarian perspective ' and ' existing legal basis for my argument '#guys so wrapped up in their right wing bubble they just dont wanna hear it#n they always assume i mustve not heard their talking points and its like look at where we fucking live#and look at the state of the world. NOBODY in any form of mainstream news shares my politics lmao#you think i havent heard every conceivable argument abt trans people??? also you think im dumb enough to form an opinion without looking at#the other side? yeah man i know about the three trans women who have ever won a sports competition ever. do you?#do you even know their fucking names or sports or trial outcomes.#GOD just fucking. pseudo intellectual facist horseshit like pragru and infowars masquerading as legítimate sources#are making so many dumbass illiterate (i truly don't think they have the reading comprehension to decifer a study or even long article)#guys think they're gods gift to politics bc they listened to someone else tell them what a source says through ten layers of propaganda#just. uh. everyone should die forever and also learn to read.

Two brake vans (they are cousins in my human au) I’m calling them the double b’s but it’s Bruno and Brian!!
Short context is Brain worked in the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway and Bruno tends to stay at Vicarstown Yards cause it’s more quiet (I got it from Jasperpie on Twitter and DA) but has been known to travel with others to other parts of the island especially the Estate Railway for similar reasons.
Brian is very protective of his little cousin.

Character Information LV : A sickly runt
Before it had been mentioned that Ziv as a Memeber of a r-selected species was one of those pups who had been born a sickly runt and would have naturally died to give the stronger littersiblings more food and more room to grow. Which was one of the reasons why Ziv was given to the Jedi Temple as a infant because she would be given one of the best medical supports in the Galaxy possible and also because Ziv was | still is a scuttlecrusher with her telekinesis bound to her emotions and infants tend to scream very emotionally. But beside her beeing prone to spacesickness, having problems with stark sunlight and vision due to albinism, and having a lot of problems with her diet, she is doing suprisingly well in most theards.
That has a simple answer: The bacteria and viruses around Ziv are not coined for her system as a alien but made for aliens closer to humanoids. Which means that in her time in the Jedi Temple (after all as the only Tynnan since Bowspritz from 3000 years ago) and in her time as a refugee after Order 66 she never had (or only seldomly had) contact to viruses and bacteria that actually could be really dangerouse for her, which meant that her work as a Healer was accordingly a lot of easier. She could work with the sick, because what was wearing down her patients, was not dangerouse for her. This naturally changed when Ziv joined Deep Current because she was suddenly hit with the iron fist of viruses and bacteria made for and carried by Tynnan that all are very much adult members of her species had went through as kits and build immunities up. Sicknesses Ziv as a sickly child given away to the Temple as a six-month-old, had never went through and never build up immunities for. Which means that Ziv had never been faced harder with her for a Tynnan weak constitution and the fact that she is indeed a sickly runt. Obviously she also had at that time access to more proper medicine than her herbal remedies, had over a decade of medical training and she had grown up in the Jedi temple with one of the best medical support in the Galaxy, so she was eventually alright and more importantly- could do her work as a spy for the rebellion at best away from the membrs of Deep Current. But the fact that she never had been to Tynna, her own homeplanet, or had a deeper connection with one of her squadmembers, might be explained by this. Ziv is once again isolated.

Billy hargrove x female reader.
Bulltrue.
Tumblr media
Summary:  working at the video store along side Steve and Robin had its 'disadvantages'.
Word count: 3677
Warnings: Billy lives au and I cannot remember if the video store was next to the arcade, anyways. Language, undressing. Sex references.
A/n: Please, I am having intense feelings about Billy, and I have not wrote fanfiction in months, I apologise. I ended a bad relationship a couple of weeks ago, which distracted me from writing. ( Why ikr reading fanfiction is so much better.) BUT IM HERE and I love men with long hair. Pls michael and billy are the same.
NOT MY IMAGE
Deciding to work in the video store for the summer seemed like a good idea at the time, and maybe it was, except cleaning up the vomit and other human discharge.  Judging random peoples movie taste? Who wouldn't want to do that? 
You had moved to Hawkins that year from a long way away, you knew no one. Well, until you had met Robin and with meeting her you met Steve, then after meeting Steve the rest came along.  You had met Robin when your mum had sent you to mall to pick up some things with the promise that you could get food. And you had chosen to get Ice-cream,  and with that Robin had served you and questioned you as you did stick like a sore thumb.
Everyday you had to work, you'd walk, the same route, the same routine ( depending on your schedule but it was most the same).  Everyday you did the same loud blue camaro would drive past, each time almost making your ears explode. At first you did not trust the speed at which the driver was going at, but as time went on the car had slowed down. You never got a good look at the driver but he did get one each day he saw you.
Billy  would not admit to himself he had taken a liking to you ( even with never interacting with you), no, he was simply checking you out.  
"Hey, Y/n." Steve had greeted you with the most monotone voice, a gust of air reaching you from where he had walked past you as you restocked the horror section.  Putting down the VHs your legs had cracked from where you had been kneeling for so long.
"Oh, hi. You okay?"   His eyes turning back to you after he'd put his bag in the staffroom he had huffed resting his hands on his hips his eyebrows scrunched.
" Absolutely brilliant, sweets."
"Right, well, you've got bird poop in your hair." Eyes widening Steves hands immediately reached his hair with panic he had began to yell a large range of curses, until he  saw the smirk plastered upon your face.
" Wow, not funny."  With that he walked off still messing with his hair. Reaching ovver to pick up the last VHS,  Lost boys. The sound of a pair of feet had reaching your ears just as you saw the two legs behind you through legs.  Legs in tight blue jeans. You hadn't heard the bell ring.   Quickly standing to full height, spinning on the balls of feet to face the customer. 
Ghosting over your body with his bright eyes,long dark lashes, smirk building. He wanted you to see him checking you out.  His lips twisted, soft lips, like perfect lips, kissable like River phoenix's. Golden curls of hair sitting on his shoulders,  tank cling to him and jeans tighter than david bowies leggings.
" ooh,hi , s-sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?"   Cheeks hot, as you stubbled over your words, being jumped out of your skin by a random hot individual was understandble reason to get flustered. Especially when he had just laughed. Reaching up to hold your rname tag inching closer as he lent over to read it.
"Don't apologise...Y/n. Ah. Yes, actually you can." Losing eye contact his eyes scanned the room,like to see what actually this store was, to make up an excuse to talk longer. Though you didn't think that. His eye locking back onto you.
"I'd like to rent a movie, do you have any suggestions for me, Gorgeous." Cheeks heating up again at the strangers playful tone, you looked down at the video in your hands.
" Well, without knowing amything about you just going off your fashion sense, I feel like Lost boys would be a good choice for you." His lips dropping from his charming smile into a o shape, as he became flustered by your comment. No one, no one, speaks to Billy Hargrove like that. But Billy for once was not angered, instead he saw the smirk plastered on the face he had been thinking about for weeks and laughed.
" Oh, do tell me what's that's supposed to mean."  His rough hands brushed against yours as he took the video tape from your hands to inspect the video.
" I mean, firstly you have a mullet so, and UI was deciding is he going for Rob Lowe in st Elms fire or Michael Emerson from Lost boys. And from your charming behaviour yes you act more like Rob but Lost boys is Such a better movie. And I mean no offence both are very handsome."  He raised an eyebrow at you looking away from the video.
"Are you calling me handsome, Y/n?"  Billy wasn't the type to tease with no intention of getting laid, since the accident at starcourt, he has changed. Not that he would admit that either.  Almost dying changes your perspective on things,  how you feel about people, how you feel about yourself,  what you haven't achieved, and things you're not proud of. For Billy he wanted someone to love, yes he knows he cares for Max now but that isn't the same as romantic love. Since he saw you he wanted you, he didn't know why, so here he was.
"Uhhhh...yeah. You do look like you're dressed up as Michael."  
"Bullshit." 
"Bulltrue."
The teasing between the pair of you had caught the attention of your coworker, Steve had not heard you act this way with anyone previously and recognised the voice of the guy you were speaking to. He dreaded the outcome of his walk toward you.
"Y/n, there you are- oh." Steve had walked towards you, quite loudly, locking eyes with Billy . Taking in his posture, Billy's arm rested on the shelf next to you, the gap between you very small for strangers, the suggestive eyebrow raise from Billy angered Steve for your sake. He didn't want you to get used by some man whore.
"Harrington."
"Billy."
The tension in the air between the two, was obvious to you, and probably literally anyone, they were death staring each other. Sure Billy had changed, and Steve did know Billie saved Eleven but still he did not trust him. Plus, how many times has he been beaten up by him. Too many.  There wqs silence between the three of you for a good minute before Steve patted his hand on your shoulder. It was clear Steve would be talking to you after Billy had left. 
"So, it seems you and Steve have a great relationship... " Billy had chuckled lightly.
" You could say that."
" Well, Billy what do you think about renting Lost boys?"
"I'll rent it, just so I can come back and speak to you."  You simply smiled at Billy, knowing that he was the type of guy to flirt with anything or anyone. ( Poor coconut. Yes, that one story about guy fucking cocunut, Billy probably did something like that.)
Ringing him up at the counter, he sent you one last wink, before turning to slowly walk towards the door giving youa great view of his ass in his tight jeans.
" Bye, sweetheart,  see you soon. "  watching him as he eent through the glass doors turn his face to the right for a second , as to get another look at you. Smirking himself that you were still fixated on him.  Opening the drivers door of his camaro, he had sped off in seconds. Blue camaro, the car,  that you saw everyday. Deducing thst it was the same one as how many people drive a car like that in Hawkins? Not many.
Steve stood at the counter resting his back on it with his arms crossed, his lips turned downwards and slowly shaking his head.  Within the next hour ( broken up due to customers), he had explained everything there was to know about Billy Hargrove.
The things Stevehad told you about the 'Keg king' made you rethink your meeting of Billy. Had he just been sweet and flirty because you were 'fresh meat' another bitch to conquer. The way he apparently treated people like Steve presented insecurity in himself, like Billy was trying to tame a bull, the bull being the world. Maybe there was someone deeper going on in his head. Maybe, he had built this walls to protect himself from further hurt.
Though, what would you know you just convinced him to rent a movie.
The next time you had seen Billy was lesss than a week later, well,  one working day for you.  Didn't want to be charged a late fee, clearly. Steve was not working at that time, Robin was tasked with reshelving and you were stuck behind the counter. Which you didn't mind because you got to sit and read (or doodle)  other than the socal interaction you had to deal with it is great.
Placing your slushie back onto the counter , the water droplets falling to the surface, as you sneezed into your elbow for what felt like trillion sneezes. The patter of trainers walked towards you unknowingly, those feet which were normally booted. 
"Bless you."  With your eyes closed still you figured that was not Robins voice. Opening them you were faced with Billy leaning his forearm on counter , his lips twisted in a smile as he chewed quietly on the gum inbetween his lips. Sunglasses rested on the centre of his tank top, he was dressed in his lifeguard uniform, with his tight bright shorts highlighting his mighty sword.  Maybe, you should stop checking him out wuen he watching? Would that be impossible?
"Thank you." Sipping at your slushie again, the straw between your plump lips , Billy watching intently. 
" You're so welcome, babe." As you pulled away from the straw, Billy held his hand out for your drink. He looked like he needed it, his exposed body was glistening in the light that travelled through the windows, what moisturiser and oils did he use to look that good. Maybe, it was just sweat.   Before you could let go of the slushie his hand had latched onro the cup whilst you still held it and had taken a long sip from it.  Before slowly releasing his grip from you to fiddle with the Lost boys vhs tape on the counter.
Okay, admittedly you wouldn't allow some random person to drink your drink but his smile and his 'kurt cobain' ( great description you know) eyes with his long lashes fluttering at you made your heart beat unbearably fast.
"W-what did you think of the movie?"  Spluttering over you words to cover up your nerves due to the man in front of you piercing you with his eyes.
"Well, I can definitely understand how I look like Michael just ten times more attractive. Other than that, I loved it. You are very good at your job." He paused for a moment to caught his breathe before reaching up to push a strand of hair from your face.
" Though, Y/n, that does make me wonder about what else you can do." If your face was not on fire already it was now, the words dripped out of his soft lips like syrup.
"Uh.. , well, I can consume the rest of this slushie."   And before you could grab the slushie , Billy had it holding it away from you, urging you to reach and grab it.
" Can you?"  Huffing you sunk back into your chair , Billy just smirked from above you.
" I'm only teasing." Handing you back the slushie , and pushing the Vhs towards you.
"I need you to recommend me another movie, if you would."
You didn't see the Billy that Steve had described, other than the flirting but that was just in Billy's nature. He seemed sweet, and he seemed to take a liking to you. Sometimes multiple times a week Billy would come in ask yoj to recommend him a movie qnd then talk to you qbout it when he returned. Never, did he speak to any of your coworkers only to asl for you. 
Robin and Steve and sometimes the little ones would discuss Billy and you. Sometimes being everytime they saw you two interact. For four weeks , four weeks Billy had to entered the video store with the sole purpose of talking to you with the cover of renting of videos.
On one particular day you had been walking home with rain chucking down, hail stones , lightning, the works. Your clothing stuck to your body like sap, hair stuck to your face , not one inch of you was dry.  You wished you had left your walkman at home, no doubt it was ruined.
Normally you loved the rain, the smell, the droplets hitting your face , but today hadn't been the best day.  Both of your coworkers that were meant to work that evening after your shift had called in sick and no one could cover, so, you were stuck alone for over three hours.  Not exactly great since it is a lot to run a wh9le store by yourself. Especially when a lot of weirdos love to come in before closing.  You hoped Billy may of came in today, but he didn't oddly.
It had started to rain just as you got there for your shift and hadn't stopped, and even better no one could pick you up.  To say the least you figured 'oh today the day either I get hit by lightning or get murdered' .
Walking along the path holding up your hood speed walking as quick as you possibly could. The thunder so loud you didn't hear the purr of the camaro that pulled up beside you.  Rolling down his window, slowly following you as you walked away from the car Billy called for you.
"Y/n/n, Y/n. Y/n! " He had to shout loud,  very loud like his father, loud like when he would threaten others, he hated that he to shout like that especially at you. You thought you had been imagining hearing your name, but when you did look around you saw Billy in his car smiling at you sympathetically.  Turning on your feet you had walked over to his door , your hands leaning on thedoor as you bent down to talk to him. Already dripping into his car.
"Hey, Bil-"
"Get in the car."  Interrupting you , Billy gestured for you to get in, his tone warm not like he some maniac telling to get the fuck in the car or he'd skin your toes for hotdogs. You didn't argue even though you didn't want to get his car to get soaked. Sitting on the leather shutting the door of the car , pealing of your hoodie from your skin whilst Billy watched you do so.
" You shouldn't be walking in this weather."  That is all he said before he began to drive.
" I didn't have any other  choice, Billy."  Staring at the windscreen, the window wipers clearing it for barely a microsecond, barely could you see the road a head , it was almost dark. Turning to look at you briefly, Billy tclenched his hand on the steering wheel slightly, he felt bad, it was dark and he knew you hve walked back in conditions like this previously. He wanted to offer to drive you home but he felt like that was coming on too strong and kind of creepy.
"I can't see shit, is it alright if I pull over and see if this dies down a bit?" 
Thus, leaving you trapped in a car with Billy Hargroves his camaro, the car you had heard so much about. In the dark in the rain, with his cassette playing lightly in the background of the rain smacking against the car. Drenched and freezing, even with the heat on. Billy had turned to his body to face you, eyeing over your trembling body. 
"We've got to warm you up." Eyes widening snapping your face to look up to Billy, you realised this was a bad idea.
"Sorry, I meant I've got a blanket and dry clothes. I'm not trying to make a move."   Guessing he didn't want to get his hair wet he climbing over the console and sat in the back of the car.
"Thank you." Ushering you to come sit in the back, he held out his hand to help you across. Not before you took your shoes off to not get dirt all over his car. Smiling at you gently as you gripped his hand. Though he raised an eyebrow about your prvious actions. You managed to carefully get over the console into the seat next to Billy.
Pulling the duffle bag from the floor,Billy pulled out a shirt and a clean pair of socks before grabbing the plaid blanket which wad thrown over the back of the seat.  Passing you the clean clothes, he turned away from you.
" I'll leave more spare clothes in here for next time." Next time. Next time. What did that mean. He's just being nice surely. Pulling off your trousers and socks,  replacing them with the tube socks the material trapoing the little warmth in.
" Really, Billy, thank you. You didn't have to offer me a ride home or do any of this. I really appreciate it, thank you."  Billy watched the droplets of rain travel down the steamed up window, smiling to himself, not just because he has time alone with you. 
"Sweetheart,  there's no need to thank me, just didn't want some other guy picking up my girl." Pealing off your shirt about to put Billy's shirt on.
"My girl? Wow, where is she?" You should've put the shirt on before talking, especially teasing because clearly he thought you was dressed and turned to look at you only to see you shirtless. Eyes widening,  his face flushed pink, Billy had turned away ( not quickly, he got a good look).
"Hm, in my trunk."   Snorting at his comment you pulled the shirt over your head and wrapped the blanket around you shuffling over closer to Billy. Your thigh pressed against his, side by side , his warmth radiating from his body. Your hair dripping still, onto the blanket and Billys shirt. Legs bare riddled with goosebumps.
The rain still hitting the car with no sign of stopping. The windows all fully steamed up with the rainning hutting , nothing could be seen.  For a few minutes silence remained between the two of you.
Fiddling with the hem of Billy's old PE shirt, your mind drifted to how you were half dressed in the back seat of a car with Billy Hargrove. If Steve could see you now, can't say youd think he'd be impressed. Compared to what Steve had suggested Billy had not been anything like what you would've thought if you just went on with Steves opinion.  Maybe it was a red flag if a lot of people thought that way.  He was sweet to you, stopped in the rain with you, gave you clothes, came to see you at work just to talk to you ( with the excuse that he was just renting movies) and well stole your slushie.  You had grown fond of Billy, you hadn't realised until today when you didn't see him.
The presence of a rough hand being placed gently on your bare cold thigh had caused you to look up from the shirt to the hand on your thigh up to the blue eyes looking at you. Both of you knew that you would no doubt be suck here for a while.
"You know, this isn't a ploy to get in you pants. I know you've no doubt heard a lot about me."   Shuffling closer to Billy you waited watching him bite his lip slightly contemplating whether to say more.
"What I'm getting at is we don't know much about each other but I'd like to get know you."  Removing his hand from your thigh, gently brushed  your hair out of your face Billys arm wrapped around your shoulder.
"I'd like that too."    Sitting in the company of Billy Hargrove until the rain settled, just talking about nothing and everything. Time passing quickly , four hours had past before Billy had been able to drive you home.
  Sitting in front of your house still in Billys clothes shoes back on, your wet clothes sat on your lap.  Tying your hoodie around your waist as to cover yourself for when you'd have to walk to your house.
The thunder and lightning had stopped but the rain was still pouring. The street lights projecting orange light into the pathment , the droplets of rain illuminated by the light. Tapping his fingers against the steering wheel briefly in thought, Billy turned to looked at you once with a small smile before jumping out the car , rushing to the passenger door. Pulling his leather jacket from his shoulders , his curls begining to be weighed by the rain,  opening the car door for you. Leaning over placing a foot on the drenched road before getting out of the car, closing the door behind you.
Billy held his jackekt over your head, both of you rushing to get to your house, pulling your keys out of your bag at the same time. Pushing  the door open, pulling Billy into your house by  his waist.
"So, want to stay over? I have Lost boys on tape."

feels deranged trying to explain to people how kimcom drugging kdj and tying him up is actually, in fact, a very understandble and reasonable reaction to have.
cousin: thats toxic tho?? people shouldnt do that??
me: you dont understand :( its for kim dokja's own good
its prob inevitable as an orv reader to start sounding like an overbearing, toxic mother in regards to kdj. "People wouldnt be disrupting the space time continuum to save you if you had just behaved and let other worldlines die🙄"
I've seen some orv fans behave like that too. it's okay we simply gotta live with the fact that some people dont understand the nuance... (the nuance being that kdj is a fucking suicidal rat whos favorite hobby is throwing his life away and can only be stopped when his more dominant companions gang up on him)

Serra was Illyrio’s second wife, a sex slave from a pleasure house in Lys, and likely Aegon’s actual mother. She was a Blackfyre in the War of the Roses parallel of Margaret Beaufort, likely Daemon IV’s daughter sold into slavery after Maelys’s coup. 
Serra’s story sounds much similar to Daenerys’s: a young girl of Targaryen blood in Essos whose (proclaimed) royal father was deposed by a distant cousin, and then sold into marriage as part of a plan to take the Iron Throne. 
She did succeed in having a living son unlike Daenerys, but she never got to see him grow up as Illyrio states about her tragic death:
"A Braavosi trading galley called at Pentos on her way back from the Jade Sea. The Treasure carried cloves and saffron, jet and jade, scarlet samite, green silk … and the grey death. We slew her oarsmen as they came ashore and burned the ship at anchor, but the rats crept down the oars and paddled to the quay on cold stone feet. The plague took two thousand before it ran its course." Magister Illyrio closed the locket. "I keep her hands in my bedchamber. Her hands that were so soft …"
I think just as he doesn’t mention the actual details of her identity and the reason Illyrio married, he also may have been fibbing about her death. The best lies have bits of truth, the truth being the grey plague likely may have happened at the time. Note, he mentions that a plague came to Pentos, yet he doesn’t state that Serra herself got sick. 
At the end of the chapter, Tyrion sings a song by Symon Silvertongue threatening to reveal his secret about the sex worker who became his mistress, Shae. Shae herself (understandbly given her situation) betrayed him, and he would end up killing that very woman with the gold hands of the Hand's chain.
"A Braavosi trading galley called at Pentos on her way back from the Jade Sea. The Treasure
For she was his secret treasure
"I keep her hands in my bedchamber. Her hands that were so soft …"
For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm
Just where was the galley headed? As Illyrio said, it was on its way back to its home port of Braavos, a historical refuge for escaped slaves. 
Cutting off body parts with the tongues removed for little birds is part of Illyrio and Varys’s modus operandi, but it must be noted that the cutting off of one’s hands is the common punishment for thieves. What did Serra try to steal?
The thing of most value to Illyrio and Varys: Aegon.
While Illyrio and Varys were all in on the plan to crown Aegon, just what were Serra’s thoughts on it? The plan involved taking her young son from her for perhaps indefinitely to be raised by strangers to pursue the Iron Throne, a quest that has only resulted in death and disaster for her family.
Serra may have tried to run away with an infant Aegon to Braavos. Illyrio’s house slaves may even have helped her escape. Of course, Varys and Illyrio found out and stopped her, killing the crew on the ship. They would have been undoubtedly mad that she almost undid years of planning, and she likely threatened to reveal their secrets as a desperate last attempt. By that point, she had given birth to Aegon and fulfilled her part in the plan, so they didn’t need her anymore. 
They likely killed Serra, and Illyrio kept her hands as a memento. Serra was used a brood mare for her house's cause and when she tried to exercise some agency, she was murdered.

the thing abt talking abt c!dreamity is that it's not...about shipping. really.
(tw noncon for under the cut)
like really at the end of the day it's just about humiliation. about subjugation. about everything that "sir" and "our bitch" entailed, about how c!quackity explicitly derived pleasure from c!dream's torment, about the power that comes with taking the top dog and grinding him under your boot. like id argue that there's plenty of evidence that c!quackity could have gone that route in the torture (and when people argue abt SA in terms of c!schlackity, i'd argue that that almost makes it more likely for c!quackity to use it against c!dream in the prison) just because of the emphasis on c!dreamity and how it has always, always been on the fact that c!quackity explicitly LIKES the torture. it's about the sadism. it's about how c!dream struggles to reconcile the fact that c!quackity enjoyed it, and kept doing it because he enjoyed it moreso than because he had a "reason" (tm), that c!quackity was motivated in particular by the fact that he LIKED making dream scream.
and you know you consider other scenes like c!q cheering when c!dream trades a sexual favor for peace with mexican lmanburg, and the jeering at dream on top of the wall with a specific emphasis on how he HAS to do what they say whether he likes it or not and so he's now a weak little bitch for them to use (and own), when he's encouraging c!sam's little fantasy and cheering about how c!dream can't do anything about his situation and explicitly taking part of a fantasy that involves holding c!dream down as he's crying and begging and screaming--like all the stuff is there. but unlike, say, c!wilbur and c!sam, this idea of subjugation and ownership is...like, explicitly violence and just violence. kinda?
c!wilbur's relationship with c!dream definitely involves an Element of having dream do things for him, or at his encouragement (see: dream getting him the TNT to carry out his plot, i'm so proud, "keep my throne warm," and wilbur would have his alliance, just to name a few) but is it really about violence, per se? not really? like. the point of all of this isn't to Hurt him. wilbur's thing with the Guy In Charge is about power, and is about control, but his relationship with dream is also colored with a lot more complicated feelings on both sides. and c!sam's ownership is meant to be ownership in Whole--there's really nothing that c!dream has that he doesn't in some capacity want. his super complicated relationship with whether or not he actually wants to kill c!dream is pretty indicative of this--he doesn't want to destroy c!dream. he can't cope with the idea of him being dead, as we well know (he'd beg for me to save him, and i would.and all.)
meanwhile with c!quackity like. sex in any capacity when you consider it in terms of c!dreamity in the prison is just another weapon, just another means of power and control and subjugation and humiliation, just another instrument of another kind of violence. and like believe me i do think abt it and i think that to a certain extent it's definitely an angle that's (understandbly, but at the same time...sometimes unfairly) overlooked, but there's also not that much complexity in comparison ig

A lot of people are already aware of the worrying things that were discovered within the fandom this week. My blog has always been 18+ but I've spent the last year having the mindset of 'you're responsible for your own online experience.' However, seeing the alarming amount of minors/people lying about their age that are interacting with blogs that are not meant for them, I'm going to be changing some things - I hope this is understandble.
If you wish to interact with me and my blog, please have your age in your bio/pinned post. Ageless blogs and minors will be blocked. I am an adult and I have responsibility to myself as well as younger users to keep everyone safe.
Any requests that contain smut that are sent on anonymous will not be fulfilled. Please send your request off anon so I'm able to see who I'm interacting with when it comes to 18+ material.
I'm lucky enough to have a large following and it's a daunting task to go through my follower list in order to curate my own blog experience, but please know any new faceless/blank blogs will be blocked, and I'll slowly but surely make my way through old followers with these empty blogs.
I am an adult and I enjoy having this space to be creative and relax away from my day to day responsibilities. I love socialising on here but after the events of this past week, I need to be more vigilant in who I'm interacting with.
If I have blocked you please respect this. The reason only matters to myself and by making new blogs, you're ignoring the boundaries I've set.
I'm well aware that people are capable of lying online, about their age and god knows what else, but I'm trying my best to keep my blog away from any content/users that have upset the fandom community.
thank you to @blueywrites for helping myself and so many others in putting the right words into explaining this.

Pf was sooooo insane last night Shinji froggy chair crisis fr, sweet kindhearted goblin warrior who is the heart of the party tried to comfort my character, who instead of seeing it as an act of kindness, was like omg he knows my secrets and is guilt tripping me and so. She spilled the beans and was like ik I said I wasn't gonna lie anymore but I did so I'll leave now 👉👈😔 and they were like 'hey you're kinda being manipulated by an evil mage who is also ur cousin' which hadn't even occured to ME the player, let alone my character (🤡). And so it's just ;-; oh man she is a pathologic liar and doesnt know how to stop, whereas I'm allergic to lying, but for the same reasons!!! It's that insecurity babbyyyy
Also our rogue convinced the ice pope to not only ally with us but come fight some fire plan creatures and our practicing-a-forbidden-religion champion is maybe crushing on the ice pope
Understandbly. I very much do not want to be at work rn
and also my next character is going to be SOOOOO emotionally stable I swear. Themis is like. Normal Human Man 100%. Head empty oath of the crown paladin. His biggest problem is that he's lawful good and super obsessed with Following The Rules but his friend/ambiguous partner is a Known Rogue and part of a Criminal Guild and also strict black and white morality isn't practical. Man is intended to be a combo of costis and beshelar. We love rulebooks and honour and never lying bc I am compulsively incapable of it

asks pt.2 more recent ones
ft fanfiction anon, minho is ugly, thank you minjoon people for the links and fic recs!!! and the anon with the random jikook takes
Tumblr media
ive been debating answering this one, like... yeah, obviously. but no jimin hate is allowed on this blog so youre getting blocked
Tumblr media
idk, ive also been thinking about posting this but... i don't have any thoughts. except that this just proves how close they are, in any sense. and yes that was literally a joke we don't actually think their parents were involved, cmon. 'meds exist' cmon. 'suicide everyday' yeah you're a troll never message me again, goodbye.
Tumblr media
this is why i can never take any of those charts seriously, they all say something different and everybody's #1 somewhere. its literally all imaginary and extremely unimportant. and instead of frauding jimin, which would have gotten him nothing but hate, i wish instead they'd left jungkook alone so we could see who ACTUALLY has what it takes
Tumblr media
i have literally never understood the hype around jungkook. but maybe thats because he only started glowing up around 2019, which is when most of these taekookers came to the fandom, lol. but your last sentence was funny, 10/10
jimin should have always been the center of that triangle. vmin vs jikook i would like to see it. the classic main drama lead thats semi toxic and interesting and the second lead who's the best friend and the better option but jimin chooses jungkook anyways lol
Tumblr media
minjoon under the stars ahhh jimin is such a sweet little glazed donut that needs to be handled with utmost care
Tumblr media
blocked. also that's because namjoon has the charisma of a tree. but jimin could have chemistry with a brick wall so suck it. minjoon forever
Tumblr media
cute little fanfiction moment but i dont think it holds any water in real life terms, or means anything, honestly. but thank you for the links
Tumblr media
here come the fanfiction writers. also that's the finger heart emoji for the curious minds my laptop is prehistoric. anyways. im not gonna grace this with any further comment.
Tumblr media
sure
Tumblr media
this is making me ctfu because its just a clip of jungkook dancing to 3d but anon is sooo disgusted ahahhahaha. bts were different??? different from what :joy emoji:. also, if you see this, elaborate on your last sentence please.
Tumblr media
i literally dgaf he is so ugly and his bug eyes weird me out and im convinced kpop fans have a mass gaslight thing going on trying to convince me he's attractive. 2. jonghyun wouldnt work with jimin for several reasons i just brought him up because whenever im thinking about 'men in the industry who aren't shit' he's the only one who comes up. 3. love that you just fully spiraled into waxing poetic about jimins ass there. understandble.
Tumblr media
sure
Tumblr media
well yeah but specifically the tweets i was posting are so... racially motivated. whitewashed jimin=white=good=pure=innocence=bottom and top jungkook=rough=tough=raw=dirty=dark skin. like it was just so weird to me.
Tumblr media
umm sure, whatever you say anon. im gonna forget all of what you told me now because i genuinely do not want to know.
Tumblr media
yup this is the general consensus in cakejerryland
Tumblr media
thank you for this rec actually!!!!!!!!! it looks scrumptious and WILL be posting my thoughts upon finishing!!!
Tumblr media
thank you random citizen!!! omg idk if you knew i have a hyung kink or not but this is sooo not that. laugh emoji laugh emoji jimin is soooo cute he's a kiddo playing around!!! babyy
Tumblr media
i respect the grind. i do not, however, respect him.
Tumblr media
okayy anndddd... what do you want me to do about this?
yes he wants to be perceived as such. we agreed upon this when seven dropped. and idc and it doesnt matter to me because i dont expect any of bts to come out so they will all forever be ambiguously straight and theres no point to discussing it further
fanservice is in the job description. but you said it yourself. 'natural' dynamic. they're simply the closest and we can't deny this
umm sure. i didn't see anything special in those clips at all lol i was not gagged. they were just looking at each other and they do that every single time they're in public or on camera or on stage together
lol hawaii was ... a time. they were also "doing laundry," don't forget.

Hi, it's me again sorry to be a bother but I would like to make an other entry for the event, but I would like it to be yandere shinobu and the letters i want are : p, s, x I hope you will be able to do them and that you'll enjoy it if not it's ok take your time ~k.gh
Yandere Shinobu x gn!reader FLUFF alphabet (P, S, X, L)
A/N: This was really creative, I like it! Plus the rules never said you can't mix these two either so this works!
TW: Violence and drugging
Tumblr media
Art source
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
🦋- Shinobu is geniuly kind with kids and that's one of the only time you see her more softer side
🦋- The kids are drawn to her and that is understandble, her voice sounds like a lullaby to the kids probably and she gives off that motherly vibe to them.
🦋- The kids always come to her and asks her questions. Some are sweet like
"Do you like butterflies? or "How do you smell so good?"
Some are too honest questions. "Why are you so short?" Shinobu dosen’t get mad at the kids though for those kind of questions.
🦋- She only really gets mad at kids when they disrespect her or you. One stare will make even the most disrespectful kids shut up.
🦋- Shinobu usally gifts the kids candy, of course she earns the trust of the parents before she does so, the last thing she wants is a bad reputation because people thinks she wanna kidnap some children.
🦋- Shinobu likes kids and I can see her wanting kids on her own, after Kibutsuji is dead of course
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
🦋- It really just depends on her how her day has gone
🦋- She usally tries to hold her patience with the triplets or Aoi. The triplets don’t do alot of mistake and are never rowdy so they aren’t a big problem. 
🦋- If she’s had a bad day then you’re walking on land mines because the little thing you do can piss her right off.
🦋- The thing is she usually takes out her anger on you when her patience is very low since you would be the most understanding one.
🦋- You usually tick her off when you do a mistake rather than you try
🦋- Like if you spill any of her poisons or medical drink she made herself her patience will thin by alot. She spend alot of time getting ingrdients, reading recipies and expermenting to make her drinks good. 
🦋- If you try to insult her she will take those insults with stride and not get affected. She knows what you’re trying to do and she thinks it’s funny how you think you can anger her by words. Actions speak otherwise, by ignoring her, throw a fit and fights then you have thined her patience. She usually tries to hide it at first but then she stopped, she realized at the end of the day you only dug your grave deeper and that you were the only one that would get punished out of you two.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
🦋- She is hella protective to say the least
🦋- She loves you so dearly, even when she punishes you. She always justifies herself when it comes to that, telling herself that she only does it because you misbehave and that it is your fault by acting up
🦋- Anyways, back to where I was, she loves you dearly and would never forgive herself if she lost you too. It’s also one of the reasons why she is yandere. It’s a low chance you could become a demon slayer if you weren’t already one
🦋- If you want to be a demon slayer Shinobu makes sure that won’t happen due to fear of loosing you. She will refuse to teach you and you will be heavily punished if you try to get someone else to teach you. 
🦋- Shinobu will list off reasons why you shouldn’t be a demon slayer and she is good at arguing. Whatever you come up with she always finds something to back down your argument.
🦋- If you already were a demon slayer make sure not to get injuried, you will spark her yandere tendecies and she will drug you. Don’t try to resist, she is fast and quick and will break your bones so you can’t move. Then she will drug you. 
🦋- She might drug you so much you only become bedridden and when it comes to that, you will only have her that takes care of you
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
🦋- To be honest I can see her as someone that would love physical affection from you but won’t really admit it 
🦋- She hasn’t gotten physical affection from someone she loves with her whole heart and soul 
🦋- Shinobu needs it once in a while especially on her hard days. 
🦋- When she feels soft and on a happy mood she will iniate a cuddling session with you, she wants to be the little spoon because she likes being held. Sometimes though she will be big spoon because she likes the feeling of protecting you, it really just depends, it varies alot 
🦋- Shinobu is not so fond of PDA so if you want to give her physical affection, do it when you two are compleately alone 
🦋- Shinobu might tease you when you hug or cling onto her but she knows not to ruin the moment
🦋- It doesn’t take much to try and tell her what you want, she can read you like an open book

nothing like having a trusted site to get ts4 from. update patches and DLCs comes out on the same day as it does everywhere else and honestly with this clown 💩 ea's been doing releasing broken content and breaking down eps for no good reason, so far they didn't give me a reason to support them. where I live it costs 4 months of minimum wages salaries to own all of the dlcs I own for free. they are delusional if they expect me to pay that much.
yeah exactly, i'm with ya!! i pay for all my other games because they're worth the money-- which btw no game on earth would ever be worth 1000 bucks, and i actually like to support those.
Tumblr media
oh yeah for sure lol, the people that i know have bought the game usually miss a few packs (and understandbly so seeing the cost) so the majority of us having all the packs in this day and age with there being like 60 packs & kits to buy.... we both know its more likely to be pirated then bought 😌

LB6 CLEAR !
Contain spoiler so read with caution
Tumblr media
As anyone know, LB6 split into three part timegate quest which is understandble in term of storyline. To put it simple, this LB is the best ! I complainted a bit in previous post about Medb but after read part 3, I remove the post (lol).
Every character (I really mean everyone with a name) had their own personality and clear motive to make stories move on. If I must say the suprise part of stories to me aside Morgan fact and Muramasa sacrifice himself is the ending, I never thought LB6 servant and master become so insignificant at later story (Morgan still get mentioned but she's died fast lol). Well, Castoria backstories and personality pretty suprising I think...
Cernunnos things with six faerie too really shocking, enough to made me looks at faeries with disgust it explained the reason why faeries there draws so disgusting too. So yeah no one become the best NPC for this LB but I become in love with Melusine ! I gonna pull for her when I have leftover quartz and funny enough she's the only servant I'm not get for LB6.
This LB cost me total 9 leyline stone which the biggest cost are Morgan boss and Cernunnos part (yeah I pretty tired so I'm not using retry then go with 2 leyline stone each lol). My MVP still same, Morgan with Castoria NPC support, my Abigail can't do much eventhough most enemies are berserker.
Tumblr media
As for LB6 CE, then again the what-if stories which pretty sad to think about. Castoria enjoying girls time along with Gareth & Cnoch na Riabh, in true sense it's Castoria biggest dream which of course never happen in story.
Since the story really good I must say it's 9.5/10 overall so thanks for food FGO !

Hi, my mind has been wondering about how deltarune fandom mischaracterise spamton and make him completly another character for some reason
like i seen some people make his og form very tall, or completly get rid of his voice glitch (Which could be caused by not knowing how to write his glitch which is totally understandble tho), which are very small things to change but personally i think that still changing so obvious things about him is quite... Not in place, because there are just some aspects of characters that MAKE them their own characters, and taking it out of them is either "yeah i dont like that im going to change him So hes exacly to my likings now" or just making completly diffrent character
This also implies about how fanbase either treats him as
1. only joke character, that never intended to be anything else by that, which is very weird cause spamton plays quite important role in dr's lore
2. Too sad/scary character, spamton is totally intended to be goofy weirdo making every Player laugh, skipping it just to him being sad and obsessed about neo is Just not it!
3. Child some sort, where he cannot do a single thing himself and needs help, which is incredibly ableist, but i think this topic has been totally talked about already
Sorry for ramble/rant, but its quite common thing i noticed about deltarune fanbase and spamton, and wanted to know others opinion about it
Thank you for this ask! It’s a great one, and gives me a lot of room to talk, so it goes under a readmore. You do not need to apologize for your ask, feel free to ramble away anytime! I greatly appreciate it!
As usual I want to put in a disclaimer that ultimately, the only person that 100% knows Spamton is his creator, Toby Fox himself. All we as fans can do is interpret and speculate based on what evidence is given in the game, and as is fandom tradition, we can put in headcanons, alternate universes, and more to flesh out his character. All of this is perfectly fine and normal for fandom, however there comes a drawback in fandom, especially when we are met with a “tragic villain” type: woobification. The TVTropes link provided explains it well.
Let’s address your ask itself:
Making Spamton in his original form tall (in this case over 6′0″/182.88 cm, the average height for an adult cisgender man) appears to be a purely aesthetic, stylistic choice and is harmless. I do prefer him short (specifically 4′8″/142.24 cm), but there’s nothing problematic or offensive about changing his height. If you don’t like that, it can be safely ignored.
The voice glitch is another one...I think there’s nothing wrong with substituting the in-game text style for an easier-to-read format to make it accessible for screen readers and visually impaired people. As long as you can tell it’s Spamton, it’s fine. Here’s an example from my fic:
Original: “WH4T?” He set the spoon down, “S0METHING 0N MY [Hair Dryer]?” 
You can see how that would be difficult for some people to read. If I so desired, I would probably change it this way:
Revised: “What?” He set the spoon down, voice warbling in-between glitches. “Something on my--” He stammered, ad-speech taking over his voice yet again, “H-hair dryer?”
It makes the sentence a little longer since I have to translate this text in a descriptive way so the reader understands which part is the bracketed one. Again, nothing wrong with substituting the text in a way that stays faithful to Spamton’s character.
It would only be an issue if the author actively chose not to use the bracketed text because they dislike it greatly, or they want to “cure” his speech impediment. The latter stems from a rather ableist trope of curing a disabled character’s disability and therefore erasing that representation.
As for being unsure how to write his voice, there are some posts on Tumblr, and there is his Wiki page that you can look through for reference. While you might never get it 100% perfect and neither will I, looking through these references can help a lot.
As you said, these are minor examples compared to some others, but they are just as valid as the more major issues with the fandomization of his character!
Now, on to your list:
Points 1 and 2 work well together, and could easily be combined. People need to understand while he is not purely a joke character (example, The Original Starwalker is a pure joke character. Sorry, fans, but he is), he is also not purely a tragic and scary character that the player must fear. He is meant to be funny, but he is also involved in a big part of the plot even as a “secret boss”. Some of the greatest villains in fiction are, indeed, those who manage to be both hilarious and terrifying.
(Yes, he is, per traditional definition, a villain. noun: villain; plural noun: villains 1. (in a film, novel, or play) a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.)
People should not forget that a large chunk of his character is based around internet meme culture; KEYGEN is the most obvious (for those who do not know, it is a reference to a YouTube Poop, and it involves rapidly flashing lights which were much toned down on Spamton’s sprite), and Weirdmageddon has made the connection to internet personality Dril, whose tweets seem eerily similar to how Spamton speaks. Pipis is essentially kid-friendly Viagra.
However, in point 2 there’s a slight mistake, his obsession with NEO is crucial to his character arc and the overall story. While flanderization can happen, you can’t “skip” to him being simply obsessed with NEO, it’s a core of his character and cannot be avoided. It would actually be problematic if you ignored this point of his character (Exceptions being alternate universes and post-recovery situations).
As is true for many of Toby Fox’s other characters, he is multifaceted. He has nuance, and reducing him to one or two traits does Toby’s work a disservice. It is definitely difficult to balance out his character the way Toby manages to do, but it’s not impossible.
 The best way to figure it out is to do research using canon material (fanon is extremely unreliable, even the best fanfiction, and my own humble one, gets a few things wrong), and practice some writing using his character, put him in specific situations and see how he would react according to canon characterization.
The infantilization point has been the most oft-discussed issue with how the fandom treats him, correct, and I’m always happy to discuss it. Not only is it ableist in treating him like a child who is unable to take care of himself (when he displays many symptoms of severe mental illness), it also ignores many other facets about his character, which is so explicitly adult (In the sense that this is a man who was at his peak in 1997 and speaks/behaves distinctly like an older man with severe mental illness, not at all like a child, or even young.)
 However, there is a distinction to be made between this ableist infantilization of his character being helpless, and the very real possibility of being unable to take care of yourself due to mental illness. The latter is something that happens in real life, and people whose Activities of Daily Living are impaired deserve just as much respect and understanding as any other person.
Going by my experience in the fandom. I come to the understanding that some people do not address this disability/impaired ADL aspect and rather focus on making him act like a child and force him in situations that would only be appropriate for small children (See, the personally infamous rubber ducky scene from a fanfiction I will not name).
People who are mentally ill may act irrational in the perspective of non-mentally ill people, and from there comes the harmful stigma that they are equivalent to, or must be treated like, children or wild animals. Great care must be taken to avoid these stereotypes which I already see used so often on Spamton.
This does not include symbolic animal traits such as birds; the bird motif is symbolic of his want of freedom, for example. But while I can make an example for the animal side, I cannot make any example for the child side. There is absolutely nothing to his character that implies a childlike persona, not even his short height.
Spamton can be alluded to being like a bird without being treated like an animal, but in my opinion there is no excuse for infantilizing him.
While you apologized for your “ramble”, I started my own! This may be the longest I have written an answer, and I’m willing to discuss with other people over this, whether agreements, disagreements or additions. Let me know if there is anything you’re still confused on.
