I do agree with Taliesin that the mighty nein is the closest thing they’ve had to an evil campaign, not because of how close the individual pcs were to their respective darker paths, but because as a party they always always did what they wanted. They were always acting on their own initiative, and that’s what you would see in a campaign of villains. Agency is key!

explicit rpf stuff below the cut! move on if that’s not your thing :) 

so i hope we all saw the post fifi posted this morning where ja’marr says he doesn’t even LIKE ufc, that it’s too bloody and violent (lmaoooo) despite saying that he watches it with joe sometimes and despite joe LOVING it. (and despite like...play fighting ufc stuff with joe 🫠) and of course i’ve gotta read into this Way Too Deeply :) (along with a few other Likeminded Correct Mutuals) 

and it’s like…i’m obsesseddddd with the idea of ja’marr 'cries during sex' chase and joe ‘loves to get hit in ANY circumstance’ burrow being together and just having the seemingly most incompatible sexual tastes 🥲 like the first few times they’re just not on the same page at all 😭😭

but!! they love each other! and it’s not like it’s the first time they’ve had different tastes and perspectives on things, but like joe said a few weeks ago, they’ve grown together as humans and they’ll continue to do so! plus they both LOVE a challenge (and challenging each other even more so!) 

so maybe ja’marr’s never liked it particularly rough (certainly not as rough as joe likes it!) but maybe he learns to appreciate how big his hands look around joe’s neck and wrists, the thrill he gets when joe’s leaner frame can still manhandle and shove him around to get him where he wants him, the joy of the struggle, slipping out of each others’ grasps like breaking tackles, using their body weight to keep each other still, pushing himself to his limit, pushing joe to his, like it’s a throwing session, like it’s a game! the incredible amount of TRUST inherent in all of it. and maybe that last part is what gets his emotional ass the most <3 

and maybe joe’s never been that into sweet, gentle sex (or at least he’s never really let himself, with his complicated feelings about what’s considered “manly”). but maybe he realizes that it’s okay with ja’marr, the trust coming into play again (because who does he trust more in this world? at this point??) and it’s more than okay actually, sex that lets you rest in a way, lets you just be. gentle touches, reverent kisses, looking into each others eyes. seeing the emotion there and letting yourself get overcome by it. experiencing an emotional release that he neverrrr lets himself feel (thinking of him sobbing during his heisman speech lol, and afterwards saying it’s the most he’s EVER cried!!) Slow, overwhelming, torturous in its own way really, looking into someone’s eyes with no way to hide everything he’s feeling, all of that vulnerability and trusting someone to take care of you in that moment, trusting yourself to take care of them right back!! 

and honestly yeah, i just think that’s Fun. to think about 🙂 both of them exploring these different parts of themselves and different ways to Be with each other. maybe one night it’s more focused on one end of the spectrum than the other, maybe a bit of both when they’re feeling Ambitious. 

(but also lol let’s be real, the vast majority of the year - i.e. in season, i imagine the sex is mostly just quick sloppy blowjobs and handjobs and then they pass out from exhaustion. because of the whole professional athlete thing 🥲 and that’s hot too actually!!)

let's be honest, for very ironic reasons, official writers were not really responsible for timebomb being so good, fortiche carried most of the timebomb writing

yes, even in s1 since this is really where writers (*VERY LOUD COUGH* amanda) picked up on very delicate and deliberate details that fortiche put in s1e7, details which could be potentially explored later (as a side plot, of course *sarcasm*, we don't want to overshadow other dynamics of the show, do we?)

but especially in s2 since it's basically confirmed by pascal charrue, fortiche's co-founder, that the episode fortiche studio were most emotionally and creatively involved with in matters of writing is episode 7

which is even further confirmed by linke in the artbook where he states that episode 7 is basically a literal love letter to french culture and that he hopes fortiche is really proud of it

like... wow, the "nobody loves timebomb more than french people do" joke is actually not a joke at all

Hello pookie! New anon here an I just have to say I love you're mommy suguru soooo I have brain works for you!

Yandere CEO mommy suguru with an overworked employee darling.

We can both see where this is heading!

Anyways platonic smoochies! Can I be 😇- anon?

ANON STOP GIVING HIM LEVERAGE STOOPPP TAT he is already all over you as is...

So one thing about mommy!sugu is that he doesn't even try to hide or justify his favoritism lmaoo, he would give you less work, promote you to oblivion give you rides all the time and invite you for lunch WHICH CAN!!!!!! Put you at risk of retaliation or harassment from your coworkers but don't even worry about that they start dropping like flies from the company anyway he doesn't play about you AT ALL but he really is such a sweet and gentle boss,,,, very respectful alllll around, his fondness for you is very very appearant but he still waits til he gets to his office to giggle and kick his feet TAT

Speaking offff,,, idk if its the suit and the title that are making me hallucinate....but i think he would be a liiiiiiiiittle mean if you were to overwork yourself ;v; he HAS EVERYTHING here for you already, a comfy job, flexible hours, an amazing pay but you still go out of your way to pick up slack that isn't yours. He's frustrated with every part of the equation and unfortunately, you're gonna catch some heat TOT and by that I mean kinda sorta locking you in his office so you could take a proper break then forced paid temporary leave TAT it hurts that you're away from him, there's the risk of you working at home as well (lmao imagine) but he's trying to rebuke that energy in the name of Christ TAT he will break your starving and sleepless nights streak rest assured...

Also might be prone to pulling the "come to my house so we can work on so and so" but nothing gets done and you sleep over at his house IN HIS clothes and eat his food, he gets to live out his domestic fantasies for a little bit TOT

AND WNVEKEVEJEBEKRHKRJR ANON OFC U CAN BE MY 😇 ANON!!!!!!! it took a while to claim u i am so so so sorry TAT

[bitchthefuck1]

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.

Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.

It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.

I was listening to the podcast with Aisha and Oliver and they got to the cursed storyline that we all hate. And I just love how Aisha is pointing out how people were like since when did this show suddenly care about realism. I know she was saying other people said it but a part of me thinks that’s what she thought too lol

I admit I was a little confused by the wording here but if I'm reading it right you're talking about when Aisha discussed Bobby's death, and how the show didn't kill off characters, but Timmy here decided it "wasn't realistic" that the main characters never died. I agree with you - I could be wrong in how I interpreted what Aisha said but - in my opinion she was saying, "we're dragged online all the time for not being realistic, THIS is how you want to change that? We've had eight seasons enjoying not caring about realism and NOW you care? for THIS?"

Last season Bobby was "dead" for far, far too long. Medical experts and even just people with common sense and the ability to google were like hey, he shouldn't be able to recover mentally, if you're without oxygen for that long you're brain dead. Tim knew this. He didn't care. He literally said he didn't care. He wanted the drama.

So yeah, using the "we have to be realistic" argument is absolute bullshit and from my understanding of what Aisha was saying, yes, she absolutely agrees with us that it's bullshit for him to say that.

You want a show with realism you watch The Pitt. You want a show for campy fun you watch 9-1-1. It was a comfort show for many. We had a shark on the freeway! A tsunami in Los Angeles!

In killing off Bobby the show betrayed itself. And while Aisha is far, far too classy to say "yeah this was bullshit and I'm pissed as fuck" in an interview, I think you could tell that she agreed with the outrage. The cast has been very clear (well, Kenny and Athena and Peter and now Aisha and I think also Oliver? so I think we can infer everyone is on the same page here) that they disagreed with and were deeply upset by the decision, with varying levels of diplomacy in how they express their opinion. Which honestly... pisses me off more than the actual story.

To me, the story is paramount. The story trumps all else. I don't care if I fucking hate your guts beyond all reason, if I was an actor and you were my costar playing my romantic interest, I am going to give it all I've fucking got, because I'm not going to ruin the story. I believe in that very strongly. Whatever is going on in your real life or behind the scenes, you drop it the moment it comes to your art, no matter what medium that art takes. You owe it to your audience. You ask them to trust you to follow you on this journey, and so in return you need to be worthy of that trust.

However, at the end of the day, a story is fiction. If you're in an abusive work environment, don't put up with it. Quit. If you need time off, take time off. Real people always matter more. There is a big difference between "I'm a closeted queer person and being a messy bitch about it so I'm going to throw a bitch fit if they make my character queer because god forbid I separate church and state a little" or "my coworker is an entitled arrogant asshat and so I hate kissing him" and "my boss is sexually harassing me" or "the crew is being forced into dangerous working hours that will get them killed." Y'know? Drama versus wellbeing. Fix your damn self versus save yourself.

And so what makes me angriest is that real people got hurt in this. The audience is hurt because you took advantage of the trust you built with them. Those are real people who trusted you. Your cast is hurt, because you betrayed them. You hurt them. Real people. They didn't want you to do this. At least two of them have admitted they begged you not to. And you ignored them, because power was more important to you than taking care of the people who are your responsibility.

Stay classy, Aisha. I'd die for you. If your husband ever takes you for granted I am outside your home with roses. Also you're so valid for falling in love with Bear please hug him for me and tell him I love him muchly.

jaykyle au where they're theatre kids in the same school but they're not the actors jason's the scriptwriter/director and kyle is the prop manager (i don't know the official terms sorry) and they'd probably do an amazing job on the backstage setting if they could stop arguing for 5 whole seconds about their artistic visions and ideas and how "this would obviously work better this way"

[tumblweeds-omegaverse]

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.
