can you do riize bf hcs? 💗💗

hiii, ofc!!! my first riize request/ drabble/ thought, oh my :')

btw, guys, i wanted to make something clear with my riize content, for me riize is 7. i understand that some might be mad at seunghan for having a normal life and dating before he was even an idol, or smoking like he's harming your lungs or something, but i don't really mind. he worked hard to get here and even though he might have come across as someone problematic, i believe we should never mix the idol's personal life with their job (in this case, as it's not something that bad, it's not seungri y'all iykyk). they are people, you talk shit behind someone's back too and you don't get fired for it so please understand this and respect my point of view <3 if you feel uncomfortable with that, feel free to stop reading my riize content and live your life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can I be your boyfriend?

pairing: riize x reader.

warnings: +18, mentions of smut.

summary: how i think riize would be as boyfriends (two povs - daily life + intimacy)

note: i had like over 3-4 weeks with this in drafts because i couldn't finish the maknae line (han, hee & ton) but here it is, hope y'all enjoy !! my first riize post <33 pd. i did NOT read this again so it might contain typos, i will try to correct it asap :')

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

shotaro;

daily life: he would be a really funny and nice boyfriend to be around. being so kind and his eye smile being so dreamy that you could literally feel your knees getting weak and that fervent desire of pinching his cheeks. he would definitely selfie text you every time he can, "how you doing, baby?" *insert selca*, "did you eat something already?" *insert mirror selfie*. plus, i also think that he would be the type to like to have you on his lap. idk, it just feels right and natural to me.

intimacy: i have been seeing taro since nct and tbh the amount of sex this dude likes to have is insane. like i just see him fucking you three times a day like a fucking meal. he would be fast yet precise, nothing sloppy or out of place, he would whisper in your ear how much he likes you and would give you a reassuring smile when you were about to come that just melted your heart over and over again.

eunseok;

daily life: contrary to his usual behaviour and demeanour, i do think he would be very touchy. probably not really bubbly or acting all cutesy but he is for sure having an arm around you at all times, acting like it's the most natural and normal thing and like he isn't thinking about the way you breath under his touch with every second that goes by. he would also be the type to stare at you all lovingly when you are saying something and then nod with that "i love you so much i'm going crazy" smile on his pretty lips.

intimacy: i have two things for this one, or he is very dominant or he is a lay back type of person. let me elaborate, in both of them he is dominant but the first one is him actually taking control of your movements, physically manipulating you during sex to get you where he wants, when he wants it. on the second one, is more like he layed back and told you to ride him or something but his face has that smug look that you loved-hated because it meant that he was not touching you and you had to do all the work today. but honestly, i feel like he could also have his lovey dovey days and just make love to you!! also, the way this man loves to receive head has to be studied. it came to me in a vision and i actually can give testimony of it :p

sungchan:

daily life: do you guys know this stereotype of the typical sporty, extroverted, funny, tall, handsome and very loving and centered boyfriend? well, meet sungchan. he would video call you at any time, during his morning lecture at college, during his workout session at the gym, while he was waiting for the showers to empty on the changin room. always, everywhere. he would drop by your house almost every night to check up on you since your job and his daily schedule at college wouldn't allow you guys to meet. he would be the type to be so offended if you ever think he would cheat because he doesn't have eyes for anyone else but you !!

intimacy: mr. i'll make love to you on weekdays and get freaky on the weekends fr. he would usually fuck you missionary, looking into your eyes and kissing your lips like a starved man while his dick reached so deep inside of you that your legs would shake. but when the time came, he would also get creative, bending you over the dining table and fucking you raw before pulling out and coming in your ass, ruining your pajamas but making your night the best :((

wonbin:

daily life: princess treatment type of boyfriend. but not just towards you, he is expecting the princess treatment right back. he would dress up so nicely to go and see you, expecting to find you on your best fit too! he would like to help you choose your clothes and even go shopping, getting you both matching jackets and jewelry. idk why but i also see him as the type to like to cuddle at home with you while watching a movie over going outdoors.

intimacy: he has the strength and the body the fuck you senseless but hear me out when i say this man is more of a sub that you could ever imagine. he would try to play it nice and not be so obvious about the fact that he is creaming his pants when you start to move while sitting on his lap, he would hold his soft whines in by biting his bottom lip and then lowering his head to hide the blush across his cheeks. and it doesn't take you a minute to notice and drop to your knees so you can suck him off, feeling his delicated hands tangle in your hair and press you down so he can slowly fuck your throat. just have in mind that your pussy it's next and wonbin has one of the best staminas i've seen in a dancer.

seunghan:

daily life: i personally see seunghan as an energetic person, always trying to be cheerful and thinking of a joke that matches the current vibe, or just laugh along, but i also feel like he'd be a very romantic boy. really into this gentleman persona that would have you weak on your knees and giggling all day, he would take to you to sweet dates, matching couple sweaters and bracelets, long walks at night while you just hold hands and then end up kissing in the entrance of your apartment before trying to say goodbye because he would push you inside and cuddle you all night whenever he has the chance </3

intimacy: yeah i guess we all know where i'm going with this but lord have mercy on you when he decides to show up and say it's time to get naughty. he would start with soft touches, kisses that would slowly get longer and deeper, and a long forgotten movie on your living room while he undressed you on your room. he would be rougher than sungchan but relatively slower, fucking you nice and deep rather than fast and sharp.

sohee:

daily life: pookie. the pookiest pookie of all. but heads up, he might be really cute, his smile might look so innocent that would make you second guess when you said something with a slight double sense and he just look at you like 🫣 he would try to make you food, try to help you around in the house, try to even help you with your homework but would only end up sitting by your side, caressing your frame, your arms and hair, while he made you one or two jokes and sang some lovey dovey tune to your ear.

intimacy: contrary to popular thought, i don't think he is THAT much of a sub. he mainly is, yes, but i also feel like he would be a great dom. like, picture sohee, nicely built body, sharp eyes, playful smirk, freaky hands and sweet yet masculine voice tone whispering in your ear how good your pussy tightens around of his dick, his hands holding your waist and your fingers tangled in his hair... yeah, we need more dom sohee content :')

anton:

daily life: i've always thought that he would be the messiest boyfie ever. he would try to impress you by doing or saying stuff you really didn't care about but you found it so adorable and endearing that you eventually had interest for all the stuff he showed you, because he wanted you to know you had a great and knowledgeable boyfie!! but on the other side, he would just be himself, turning into this boyfriend-best friend kinda thing that you both loved.

intimacy: idk why i feel like he would be a little shy. maybe not shy shy but like he would hesitate at first, not knowing if you'd like this or that and doing none because he didn't wanna make you uncomfortable. however, when he finally gets a hold of you??? gurllll you better be ready. i feel like he's the type to slowly fuck you so good you would end up edging most of the times because he would just be so patient, so precise and yet lacking velocity, but it was on purpose because he would bring your orgasm in a silver plate when he thrusts so fast into you you actually think the bed would crack.

Summer Quam's

Description: “It’s like 500 degrees, we are not cuddling!” “But you already threw off all the blankets?!” “I don’t car- STAY ON YOUR FUCKING SIDE!”

Welcome back to thedevilrisen fic's! I am looking forward to writing the more! I think I may be a little rusty, sorry in advance!

Word Count: 1.4k

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

Distraught storm clouds rolled over the horizon, their gloomy rumbles accompanied by piercing claps of thunder as blinding flashes of lighting embellishing the cool grey and cinder coloured sky.

With them they brought warm, moist air which was just on the side of uncomfortable, when the summer storm's roll in the humidity dial permanently spins, like a compass without an identifiable magnetic force. The only hope of relief being the rain that would come, days dragged by, elongated as clouds grew larger and larger, dense and weighed down by droplet's begging to be released from their misty prison.

Movement inside the apartment was very little, dehumidifiers hummed in several different rooms, fan's purred as they fought to circulate the hot air. Still nothing changed, the uncomfortably of the night never dulled as the sparkling lights in window's dimmed into a lightless cavity.

However in your apartment, calmness was not achievable not matter what happened. Restlessness was prominent throughout the evening, the constant changing ice packs to keep cool. The refusal to eat hot foods made it very hard for Connor who was trying to make dinner and stick to his meal plan because according to him a pint of Ben and Jerry's was not an appropriate even when you were dying.

Yes. You were told you were being melodramatic and to come and help chop tomato's for the salad Connor was going to make as a compromise to not eat hot food. Thinking that the cold food would be less problematic. He was so wrong.

"Connor." you whined, for most probably the fifteenth time in a span of about five minutes.

"No, Y/N." he stated, slightly irritated, the heat creating a simmering tension that danced like a mirage. Utterly fed up with not only the heat but your complaining Connor was very much now regretting asking for your assistance. "How about you just go and get a shower or something? I'll finish up here."

You frowned slightly at his borderline begging tone, you knew for basically being a polar bear who lived in the cold the heat was not compatible for him. Knowing it would be better than risking a small, meaningless argument you agreed and meandering down the hallway, soft carpet compressing and splaying underfoot as you moved to the bathroom.

Even though it would be sensible to bathe in freezing water, you didn't, finding the cold water jarring and instead opting for a mid-warm shower instead. The water, slid down your body, cooling you off but not dropping your body temperature completely. Taking the edge off the heat but after stepping out of the shower, seeing the steam still curing up towards the fan on the bathroom ceiling which hummed, as the light gently flicked.

Not bothering to wash your hair tonight, knowing that it would be a nightmare to dry with the moisture in the air and running the hair dryer would create more heat which was not needed in the apartment.

Moving back into the hallway and venturing into the kitchen where Connor sat, left leg swinging beneath him on the bar stool. His fork stabbed at the green leaves and cooked meat in the decorative bowl his mother had sent as a gift set when you first moved in to the apartment six months ago.

"Your's is in the fridge, I wanted to keep the smoked salmon cold because I know you don't like it warm." Connor mumbled, looking down, guilt swirling in his stomach at the fact that he had snapped earlier, he didn't want to but the heat did funny things to him.

"Thank you, love." You moved, cautiously across the tiled kitchen, sighing as the grey tiles cooled the bottom of your bare feet. Opening the fridge, squinting slightly as the all-but surgical light shone out, picking the porcelain plate up off of the top of the tupperware containers in which the plate was so precariously balanced on top.

Feet pattering back across the floor as you moved to slide into the vacated chair, that Connor left after he had his food so he could shower before bed. Stabbing into the greens and listening to the crunch as the fork pierced though leaves and you brought them to your mouth. Connor's cooking was always delicious but something about the heat was altering it, or maybe the lingering tension left in the air from the tense exchange previous.

Swallowing the last mouthful food, slipping off the stool and around the counter top. Placing your hand on the corner of the bench that protrudes to stop your hip from bumping it and aiding the already blooming bruise from when you hit it previously that day, you placed the plate into the sink, gently on top of Connor's.

Almost tip-toeing down the hallway to your bedroom, you stepped inside, hand holding the door, opening it slightly before shutting it behind you. Glancing around to see Connor pulling on a pair of sleep shorts, hair still damp from his shower.

Shuffling along the carpet into the bathroom as you picked up your toothbrush, off of the charger. Uncapping the toothpaste and squeezing a blob onto your brush. Coming to life with a purr you brushed your teeth while straining to listen to what Connor was doing.

Spitting out the foamy liquid when the electric brush pulsated to signal you were done. Pulling a folded hand towel out from underneath the sink, cleaning the corner's of your mouth from the foamy remnants before hanging it to dry over the faucet.

Moving with purpose back out into the bedroom where Connor had dimmed the lights and drawn the curtains before clearly settling into bed himself. His large frame, draped in the sheets fidgeting around trying to get comfortable amidst the heat.

Walking around to your side of the bed, picking a loose fitting sleep shirt off of the floor, that you are pretty sure belonged to Connor six months ago but was somehow commandeered during a visit to his apartment in Chicago and gently pulling it over your head. Opting for just the shirt instead of sleep shorts and a shirt.

Pulling the cotton covers back from the mattress and plunking down into the gap made, swinging your feet onto the bed and tucking them under the sheets, before dragging them up your body and shuffling into a laying position, in the same place you normally lay. Close to Connor so you can feel his body heat, and more often than not. End up cuddling.

Tonight though, you hesitated as Connor could potentially be personified as a windmill. Writhing in the sheets as though they were gripping him and trying to force him somewhere against his will. Rolling over away from his flailing limbs as he flug half the sheets to the foot of the bed, in what seemed like a mad ditch attempt at getting comfortable.

Finally after a few more seconds of tossing and turning, whatever vice that was supposedly gripping him and refusing the respite of sleep let go. Settling onto his side you saw this as your perfect opportunity to snuggle in, tucking yourself under his arm allowing the weight to lull you into a floating state.

That was until he snapped, an angry and guttural sound of irritation projected towards you, "It's like five-hundred degrees, we, are not cuddling."

This made you giggle slightly, even in his anger clouded state you knew he would never mean that. Like a defensive child he pushed you across the sheets, clothes gripping as he did so.

"But Con! You already threw off all the blankets?!" You whined back, thinking that once he'd done that would have been enough, but it was not, beginning to wriggle back towards him.

"I don't car-" he cut himself off, feeling your warm skin brush against him again. "STAY ON YOUR FUCKING SIDE!"

You erupted with giggles, rolling around on your side of the bed, finding his defensiveness hilarious, accepting the fact you weren't going to get cuddles tonight and hoping the heat would die off by tomorrow.

-

Later into the night, when the clouds rolled over and the droplets fell, chasing each other down windows and dispersing the heat from the air. In the slumber that was once restless but now no more, Connor dragged you into his arms where you laid, tangled till the morning sun rose.

#Larry is a good friend,

#Narumitsu fic recs

Or, 10 fic recs in the defense of writing a good Larry Butz

Ahem, I have been known on occasion to go on a bit of a rant within the comments when I come across a story that turns Larry into a sexist, obnoxious, stupid and hate-worthy character. The reason why this upsets me is because to me, in the games, he's like that ADHD kid that no one understands, bouncing off the walls and making his presence known. Yeah, he's loud and makes some questionable choices, but he's creative, and fiercely loyal to his friends (when it counts ;p )

More than once, he arrives in a cloud of chaos to save the day like the god-damn eagles in Lord of the Rings. And despite all his friends constantly mocking him, he refuses to let it get him down. If he fails at something, he tries again, or something else. I know that there are some elements of his personality that are problematic, but I don't believe he deserves as much hate as he gets. Dude is the living definition of *resilience.*

So here are 10 of my favourite Ao3 Narumitsu fan fics that either have been tagged with "Larry Butz is a Good Friend" OR feature a wonderful Larry moment. As usual, these are in no particular order, because I, like Larry, may be a chaos agent.

"Larry is not about skill and precision. He is a boulder dropped suddenly and without warning. Larry is enough to divert the course of a well trenched river."

This is seriously one of the most creative fics I've come across. Really cool take on our favourite narrative in an au where stories are creatures.

How Not to be a Cultist: a 4-Step Guide

Following the discharge of both Jimin and Jungkook, I've noticed that a lot of people on both this platform and others have been exhibiting behavior akin to the 'cultists'. I've actually seen a lot of Jikookers point out this behavior as problematic, but other Jikookers get entirely defensive, saying that they could never be the degree of crazy that the 'cultists' are.

Well, they had to start from somewhere... and they probably didn't have anyone within their circles telling them to stop doing problematic behavior. So my only question is, why? Why push back against people within your community trying to stop you from crossing boundaries?

Don't share photos of private and/or non-scheduled moments. For those who may be confused, non-scheduled means events in which were not approved or disclosed for fans. Taking pictures of BTS at a concert or taking pics with them after asking permission to? Totally okay. Taking pictures of BTS when they're walking home at night or going to the airport for a private trip? Not okay. In order to know where they were going to be, most of these people would have had to have bought information regarding them, and by sharing these photos you're only telling these stalkers that you directly support what they're doing. Of course, not every person who accidentally stumbles across them is a stalker, but there are signs that they could be (aka bringing a professional camera, carrying merchandise like albums to be signed, or somehow coincidentally 'bumping' into these people a few too many times in densely populated areas). Some people might sit here and tell me that they missed them so bad... but you are still engaging in a form of stalking. I don't care if it's a way to 'prove your point', the only thing that you have proved to me is that you have 0 boundaries for two very real people and their overall safety. We shouldn't be using leaked photos of other human beings as a 'gotcha' moment to people we dislike. Also, stop looking for their relatives... it's fucking weird. Unless they themselves have a decent social media presence, do not go looking for them. These are people trying to live their lives, and I don't think they appreciate being stalked just for information about a 'ship' that their kin could be part of.

Take every speculation with a MASSIVE grain of salt. Every whisper or speculation should not be taken at face value, and should instead be treated as untrue until proven otherwise, usually by the boys themselves or from the company. For example, when people were talking about where Jikook was, I personally felt like it was a little ridiculous at times how easily people within this community believed the words of these faceless people. Unfortunately, people dropped both photos and videos of Jimin and Jungkook to prove what they said, but at the same time, you should be treating the words of the eye witnesses like their words are maybe... 20-30% possible. Don't take a narrative and run with it, that's what causes cult-like behavior and promoted delusions.

Think critically, make room for doubts. At the end of the day, the idea of Jimin and Jungkook being a couple is still speculative. Many people on here like to say that they personally think that they're real -- which isn't inherently a problem, but I think it's still important to remind ourselves that all of this is just a big guessing game, and nothing has been 100% confirmed. With that being said, another issue that recently came about was the analysis of the room in which Jimin and Jungkook shot their Killin' It Girl dance cover in, some people zeroing in on the exact location and speculating about the room that they might've stayed in. Not only is that incredibly dangerous, but people immediately began stating that it was a hotel specifically for couples or for weddings. I had this issue when it came to people making posts about the hotel they stayed at in GCF in Tokyo, and I would like to remind everyone that just because a hotel markets themselves as being good for couples does not necessarily make it a couple-exclusive space. For example, LOTTE WORLD in Korea is often promoted as a place for couples, but also it is heavily frequented by children and singles alike. Thinking critically about these kind of things can save you from completely jumping into the deep end and making speculations that can actually be more harmful to you, the community, and the boys at hand. Also important to note: Just because someone is Korean does not make them 100% right. Koreans might have a better cultural and linguistic understanding of certain events, but that does not immediately make everything that they say 100% credible. They're still people too, and we've seen stuff in the media pushed by K-netizens that are simply not true.

When you make theories, don't commit to them fully. This ties a little into what I said above... I think it's normal for humans to want to make connections -- after all, it's in our nature. However, some people make theories and then they immediately try to promote them as facts. You can make a theory post, but try to incorporate more language that could suggest doubt or uncertainty. After all, a theory is a theory, not a proven fact. When I made a theory post about Jungkook's tattoos, I made sure to repeat multiple times that I wasn't sure if any of this could hold actual meaning, and I also proposed certain details that poked holes in the theory entirely. This is important. I saw people just flat out state that Jungkook was the one who wrote the caption on Jimin's Instagram post just because he used the '~' in it. As someone who has a relatively high level in the Korean language, I can tell you that using '~' is very common and not just a quirk exclusive to Jungkook. Jimin has even used it in the past before. I think it would be better to maybe write it like: "Jungkook uses this a lot, and I don't think it's entirely crazy to maybe think that he could've wrote it, but again, it's a common writing trait in Korean, so I could be entirely wrong." This type of wording is better than putting ALL of your eggs into one basket and then immediately stating it as the truth.

But yes, these are things that I think you should be incredibly cautious about so this community doesn't delve straight into the deep end and end up like 'the cult'.

[greensagephase]

I hate to make this post, but I must say something. This isn't me trying to be problematic, but I'm just like 🥴 -- it's rubbed me the wrong way.

I received an ask from a silent reader this morning concerning one of my fics, asking when the next chapter is dropping and that they'd like to see a specific thing included in it later on. I've decided not to answer it and I have deleted it to not put the person out there since they weren't anon.

The thing is, I've never seen this person support the fic even by liking the posts/chapters. I've discovered over the last few months that there's people who will read fanworks, but they never engage with the posts in any way, not even by doing the most basic thing you can do to support a writer: leaving a like.

That's fine. You don't have to like, comment, and/or reblog my works.

What's rubbed me the wrong way is that out of curiosity, I've checked this person's blog and see they have no issue engaging with other writers' works from various fandoms, including ATSV.

To the sender, I'm happy that you're supporting fellow writers because there's sooo many talented people on here and they deserve ALL the love and support!!!! And of course, it's your blog and you have a right to support what you want, but to see that you don't engage with my work even by leaving a like is weird when you seem to have no problem engaging with me in other ways, like asking me when the next chapter is dropping and telling me that you'd like to see a concept/trope included in my writing/fic.

Like, my pookie in Christ, the least you can do is leave a like if you're going to be doing things like that 🥴 this isn't me being mean but I hope you understand it feels a little like a slap in the face that you feel comfortable to ask/demand things when you can't take 2 seconds to even double tap my writing posts.

Now, you probably meant to send that anonymously, but forgot to and now we're here. Kindly, if you don't feel comfortable or encouraged to support my writing by even leaving a like for whatever reason you've decided not to, then please apply the same energy when it comes to asking/demanding things of me!🙂

Also, I seriously hope that you're not doing this to other writers anonymously because that's an icky thing to do.

As a friendly reminder, if you enjoy a fic whether it's a drabble, one-shot, or multipart series, or a writer's writing in general, pls let your writers know and support them. If you're not going to support us, at least be respectful.

So, reader, think about this and reflect on it. Have a good day/night.

How Do Writers Get Compensated by Streamers?

(And Libraries, but That’s an Afterthought)

Across several platforms, I see a lot of discussions about whether it is ethical to stream shows by problematic creators because it might give them direct revenue.

I think some of this is down to the fact that many people don’t know how remuneration of writers by streaming services works. It’s not a “they get paid per view”-thing. Or even a, “If I stream this, the writer will definitely get more money”-thing. (All of this obviously excludes other considerations, like giving people exposure/promotion etc).

The moment a show hits the screen, credited writers have basically already been paid. Whether you watch or not makes no material difference to that fact whatsoever—with one caveat:

For the big streamers, this usually only applies to the first 90 days. Because this is the time period that’s covered by what’s called the initial compensation period (for really small streamers, that period is usually a year).

After this, you enter the stage of residuals and exhibition years. So for every year the show stays on a streaming platform, credited writers will receive residuals. These usually drop year after year (so the longer your show airs, the fewer residuals you will get in terms of percentage).

What Does This Mean?

Watching a big budget show within the first 90 days doesn’t make a difference to a credited writer’s bank balance (I’ll get to the exception in a sec). Watching thereafter is also not tied to a “payment per view”, but simply to a formula per year the show gets streamed. You can find this more neatly explained on the WGA website:

Streamers usually also don’t take a show/old episodes off their platform after 90 days or a year just because viewer numbers naturally fall with time (it’s usually a pre-negotiated license period of 3+years), although that sometimes happens (if you have a look through Amazon’s and Netflix’s catalogue, you’ll find lots of older shows on there that probably hardly anyone watches).

So whether people stream or not usually matters most when it comes to renewals and cancellations, because that’s where a streamer makes or loses money (production costs vs overall new subscriptions etc).

For a show that’s finishing or already cancelled, the implications are far less material. And the first 90 days do not matter at all in this context (they only matter for a renewal, but in terms of residuals, they’re basically out of the equation).

This obviously doesn’t mean that a boycott can’t be a consideration for many other reasons. But if it is financial compensation via residuals that’s the main ick, it really doesn’t matter as much as people think.

This isn’t to tell people to do one thing over the other, but I see so much misinformation about the basic nuts and bolts of this on a daily basis that I think it’s maybe worth looking into it a bit more closely for many people.

What About Libraries?

As a little addendum (because that’s also something people frequently misunderstand): Not every country has a PLR scheme that remunerates writers for library loans. And the ones that do have a cap. So if you are worried about giving a writer royalties if you borrow their books from a library, first have a look if your country actually has a PLR scheme, and how it operates (you can do this here). As examples:

The UK has a PLR scheme, so secondhand is generally preferable over libraries because authors get royalties up to a cap (which, generally speaking, is a good thing, but it’s obviously worth considering if the author is a vile human being). It also needs to be said though that they, or their estate, need to be a resident or have a principal home in the EEA to qualify, but that just as an aside.

The US don’t have a PLR scheme, so the author gets diddly squat per loan.

Again, there are other, legitimate considerations as to why secondhand is preferable over borrowing (or vice versa), but if we are talking about royalties, that’s how it works…

[verysium]

I’ve been seeing some discourse around twitter about the blue lock boys and whether they’d be a loyal bf or not 😭 Curious to know who do you think would be more inclined to cheat or who just wouldn’t at all!!!

I saw someone say sae would 100% cheat like whattt I feel like he wouldn’t even bother looking at anyone else if he already has someone (Cuz I mean dating him would likely mean you actually mean something to him) but I digress

ok anon you had me pulling up a whole argumentative essay here cus WHO TF SAID SAE WOULD 100% CHEAT??? 😔 that mischaracterization is so painfully inaccurate. twitter really took the whole emotionally unavailable itoshi archetype and ran with it. let me just clear the air here because my man deserves some explanation.

sae itoshi would not cheat. as in capital N and capital O. he took nearly an entire decade off his life just to work on his own issues and finally form a functional and healthy relationship with another human being. and you're telling me he's just going to let all that wash down the drain for someone else? 😒 twitter logic really be showing its illogical side here. apparently a man can be loyal to a professional sports career for eighteen years, but he can't be loyal to his significant other.

i think this misunderstanding probably happened cus of shidou. people read the manga and saw that sae dropped rin for a bug-eyed freak and automatically assumed he was disloyal. 😑 let me just say two things here:

(1) sae and shidou's relationship is strictly professional. imagine being stuck in an god awful corporate office with coworkers who bore you with their weaponized incompetence and a boss who annoys the living shit out of you. and then one day, the company hires a new recruit who is probably the most unhinged and debauched creature known to man. you're probably left wondering how he even got hired in the first place. but then you find out...he's useful. he takes risks and gets a high return on what he invests. it's impulsive and stupid, really. but at least it's unconventional and outside-the-box. he has your interest piqued. that's basically sae and shidou in a nutshell.

(2) just because sae gave shidou his number after the u-20 game does NOT mean he would do the same to any other person who would try to encroach on your relationship. and let's be real here. sae would get one text from shidou and block his contact.

anyways, here is my analysis on the bllk boys in general. introducing the anti-cheating to pro-cheating spectrum:

(A) cannot cheat under any circumstance (as in they already hate the fact that they live on a planet with 8.1 billion other people who are not you):

itoshi brothers (atp they don't even have the physical or mental capacity to entertain a third party), ness, reo

(B) cannot cheat due to physical incapability (literally cannot pull anyone within a five-meter radius to cheat with):

ego, igarashi, raichi, bachira (not that he's in any way unattractive...it's just...i feel like he would purposefully act weird to drive off people who aren't you)

(C) could not cheat (basically option A and B but less problematic version)

yukimiya, barou, kunigami, noa, loki, gagamaru, chigiri, niko, hiori, karasu (baby boy literally felt inferior cus his crush was the cutest in his class), kurona (head empty, just you)

(D) would not cheat (on you but everyone else is not included)

isagi (unintentionally a homewrecker to others but would never let anyone homewreck his relationship with you), leonardo (idk why but i just don't trust him entirely)

(E) could cheat (depends on what they get out of it):

kaiser, shidou (honestly what did you expect when you willingly dated a blonde man...)

(F) would cheat (either proven by canon or they accidentally fucked up somehow):

otoya, oliver, nagi

[changeling-rin]

The chain gets dropped in the ace attorney-verse. Who gets accused of murder (because someone always gets accused of murder) and how does it go? Given that trials are only allowed to last 3 days in aa, I think mask would be particularly helpful, should the need for more time arise

Problematically, Mask has been accused of murder.

"HE IS TWELVE," Gen thunders into an officer's face, and promptly ends up in holding for obstruction of justice. "He's right, I am twelve," Mask says, and is immediately flagged as a liar by every truth-detecting machine and attorney in the room

This only further complicates things.

"It's not ethical to charge a child for murder," Dusk tries. "He's right, I am a child," Mask says, and once again sets off every lie detector in the room. "Please stop talking," Dusk tells him.

"Oh, no, I have killed people, just not that guy," Mask says, which unfortunately doesn't set off any of the lie detectors in the room. "Please stop talking," Dusk begs him.

"I'm sorry, the deceased's name was Vic Temm?" Lore wheezes. "I apologize for... him," Dusk sighs.

"The Wright Anything Agency will represent you, but you have to stop admitting to worse crimes in court." Mask frowns. "I was stopping Ganondorf from committing genocide though?" "Cool motive! Still murder!" Apollo screams through his teeth.

"Where did you get a trained K-9 police tracking dog on such short notice and why does it look like a wolf?" "Don't worry about it." "I am very much going to worry about it!"

"I'm not complaining about having this evidence, but wasn't it in a locked and heavily guarded prison compound?" "It was?" Realm says, confused. "I didn't see anything like that."

"We're happy to have saved your brother from a sentence he didn't deserve. Now please never hire us again." "Oh don't worry," Dusk says, stressed beyond belief, "we are never coming back here if we can help it."

The whole thing takes exactly seventy hours and is the most stressed the rest of the Links have ever been.

INTRODUCTION POST !! 💋

This is where you know some things about me, what I write, rules, and etc! So basically just a good rundown of everything!

ABOUT ME !!

I am a writer who loves to make sure that my readers are happy with each chapter I post. I love making others happy because it always ends up with me being happy as well! Whenever I post a new chapter to a fic or post something on here for you guys, it just makes me feel whole!

You can call me many names such as Bri/Kissy/Hershey! I don’t care, I just like the thought of people calling me that for whatever reason!

I do take requests! So if you guys ever have a request for me then I will be happy to do so! It doesn’t matter to me how many times you request because why should I care? Keep them coming PLSSSS! However, if you do wish to send in requests then make sure you read the rules for that in this post so that we can both be on the same page!

I don’t care if you inbox me or dm me. I love you guys and once you follow me, you are automatically my friend. I don’t care if I known you for 2 minutes, you are now my friend and we will be talking🙏

For those who came from my ao3 account—first, HAIIIII!!! Second, this blog is mainly Eltingville Club crap because we are STARVING. The fandom is small and when a fandom is small we have to fend for ourselves and work together like a squad. If you know the struggle then you’ll understand the pain and suffering. Am I still pissed that the pilot never got picked up? Yes. Yes I am.

Please don’t be scared of me guys. I know i’m pretty gosh darn famous underneath the Eltingville tags on Ao3 (🌚) but please come out of your shell🥺 (I’m lowkey kinda scared of you guys too)

RULES FOR MY BLOG !!

Please don’t be weird. Like, don’t be weird as in problematic weird. I love me some “weird”people who have a shit tom of OCS, self ships, and all of the above cause I eat it up everytime. ALL. DAY. LONG. If you legit DM me a whole OC lore rundown, I’ll most definitely hype you up the whole time cause the lore drop is lowkey fire and is burning down Joe’s comic shop🙏

Guys, we don’t bully here… I know how saddening it can be to be in a fandom where it’s mostly crickets besides from the heinous crap you scramble by online but let’s not allow it to get to our brains. We are ALL in a hassle for Eltingville Club shit and we need to stick together. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Please spam like my shit. Please. If you don’t then I’ll ghost my fic on Ao3….dont make me do it /j

RULES FOR REQUESTING !!

If you want smut, then automatically it will be the epilogue time setting. I do NOT know how old these weirdos are at the beginning and I am NOT taking any chances. This is genuinely my worse nightmare so guys please inform me if I should go with this or not, cause i’m lowkey scurred, remember, we MUST stick together and we have to help each other out🙏🙏 PS, I know i’m a minor but guys…let’s be for real. Also…uhhh, if i do. smut or something suggestive…erm, most of the time the reader will be leading cause I actually don’t know how to make the reader not be in control. Like im talking about FULL control whenever I do this. Sorry guys💔🙏

If you have the NERVE to rush me to get your request done there are two things that could happen to you. One, I will purposely take longer to make your request as a vengeance🌚 or I’ll just get rid of your request and proceed with my day

If you couldn’t tell from the “About Me” section of this post—YES. YES I DO TAKE REQUESTS FOR OCS AND SELF SHIPS. YES. Send them in along with some important information about them (Personality, interests, appearance, and their relationship with so & so) so I can get to WORK

GENERAL INFORMATION !!

I’ll try to make a link to all of the Appreciation Inboxes you guys send me because those are genuinely so sweet and I want everyone to see them (if you want yours to be private then just DM me instead!) AUAUAUAU♥️

There will be some posts dedicated to my fic on AO3 (headcanons, oneshots, drabbles, etc) because it’s always nice to have some small extra stuff that doesn’t follow the storyline exactly, just some cute stuff. The link for the fic will be on this pinned post at the very end!

Welp, that’s all that I got for now! Thank you so much for reading this and sticking with me, I hope to see you guys soon while I start to fill this blog with endless Eltingville content. Drink and eat regular and take good care of yourself because YOU matter! Love you!💋♥️♥️

Sweet Niece

When Daemon finds out that his precious niece has requested to finally wed he is furious. His little girl marrying another man? He is quick to speak with Rhaenyra and mark his territory.

(Sorry for the delay of Bound by Flame, but here's at least a Rhaenyra x Daemon one shot to entertain you while I'm writing the next chapter)

Contains: possessiveness, problematic and abusive behaviour

Wordcount: ~1.23k

Masterlist

Daemon narrowed his eyes. He knew how indifferent he seemed to everyone around him and this was exactly what he wanted to be read as. Cold. Uncaring about the matters in court or in his own family.

And if he was truthful to himself, he was most of the time. But there were a handful of situations when things got under his skin and today had proven to be one of those days when he couldn't just smirk smugly and punish his companions with silence.

He felt every single hair on his arms tingle, his heart was pounding rapidly and he heard his blood rushing in his ears.

With fast steps the rogue prince strut through the corridor with one aim. Finding his niece. He assumed that she was in her rooms but when he passed the door to the throne room he glared inside and almost would've missed Rhaenyra's slim figure walking across the room in this moment. He stopped at once and quickly made his way inside.

"Niece," he said loudly and the girl spinned around to see where her uncle's voice was coming from. Once she noticed him Rhaenyra smiled, rested her hands behind her back and walked towards him.

"Uncle. Good morrow."

It was only now that she saw that Daemon didn't seem to have a very pleasant morning because once she had taken in the furrow on his brow Rhaenyra tilted her head questioningly.

"Something has reached my ears, sweet niece," he began with a low voice. "Something about your intentions to be wed. But correct me if I'm wrong."

Rhaenyra dropped her gaze and a shy smile appeared on her soft and pink lips that Daemon had so often stared at. She entangled her fingers in front of her stomach and a flushness spread across her cheeks.

"It's true, uncle. I told my father that I wish to wed Ser Duncan Stark. He says they have to negotiate and it's not settled yet but it might happen." Rhaenyra looked dreamy as she tried to hide the wide smile which Daemon was utterly cold towards.

"And you think he would make you happy?" he whispered with a sharp tone in his voice that made his niece look up to him.

"Yes, I do think so. He is a very good and honorable man, don't you agree, uncle?"

Daemon scoffed in response and took another step towards her.

"No, actually I don't."

Rhaenyra seemed surprised and her smile slowly faded.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that he's not the right husband for you, little one."

She looked more and more confused with each of his words and twitched when Daemon grabbed the side of her face.

"You're a dragon, Rhaenyra. The blood of old Valyria runs through your veins. Do you actually think that a Stark could handle you? Do you think he knows what you need?"

She frowned and shifted her head in his touch. "I do, uncle Daemon."

All of a sudden his hand switched to grab a fistful of her hair and he yanked her head back. The sting brought tears to the girl's eyes and she determindely bit her lip.

"I know what you need, little dragon. You need someone to tame you and the fire inside of you." He came closer to her until his mouth brushed over her hairline.

"You need someone to punish you if need be. You're dark, Rhaenyra, just like me. Don't let Duncan Stark take that darkness away. What you need is to be with someone that is hard on you. Isn't that right, babygirl?"

Rhaenyra squirmed and pushed against his shoulder to make him let her go.

"You're hurting me uncle," she whined but he just laughed at her.

"I know. And that's what you deserve after I had to listen to Duncan Stark brag about your possible engagement this morning. I should bend you over my lap and spank you until you've forgotten the name of that cunt."

Daemon let her go all of a sudden and his niece stumbled backwards. He flashed his eyes and his lips pluckered as he took in the image of his innocent flower that he so badly wanted to pluck.

"I-I don't know why you're so angry with me," she said anxiously.

"Oh I think you do. You're mine, Rhaenyra. Did you forget that?"

She flinched as he walked closer to her again.

"Do I really have to remind you, sweet niece?"

"Daemon," she mumbled when she slowly felt how she was pushed closer to the wall behind her. "What are you doing…"

Her uncle grinded his teeth dangerously and rested his fist next to her head.

"I'm trying to make you see who you belong to, babygirl. Because when I looked at Duncan Stark this morning I got the idea that you might need a reminder."

Rhaenyra looked up to him through those big innocent doll eyes that lit a fire of possessiveness and greed in him.

"B-But, I'm to be wed soon. To a nobleman and h-he's a good man, uncle. I can't w-wed… you."

She twitched when Daemon finally closed the gap between the two of them and pressed her body to the wall.

"He's an idiot, Rhaenyra. A stupid, weak and unable cunt who couldn't even protect his previous wife. And you think he would be good to you? I know exactly what you need and that is a man who is able to put you in your place."

She squirmed and tears threatened to spill from the corner of her eyes.

"Uncle…," she whimpered. "Please."

Daemon hesitated a second but then moved away from her a little. He didn't want to hurt and scare her too badly after all. But then his hand was quick to brush over the side of her neck, a gesture that almost seemed soothing and reassuring.

"You've always been mine, Rhaenyra. From the moment that you were born into this world. Because I can handle you, sweetling. I can put you into your place and make sure you behave like a good girl. And that's what you need."

Rhaenyra slightly moved her head away from his hand and hummed quietly.

"Do I have to mark you, mhm? Do I have to make the whole of the court see that you're mine? Your father, your brother, everyone?"

Suddenly an anger flashed in her eyes and Rhaenyra raised her chin.

"You can't control this. I want to marry Duncan because I love him."

Unlike what she had expected Daemon didn't seem angry but rather amused.

"You think I can't control this? Oh but I do, little one. Just don't fight me, Rhaenyra. You know that you need your uncle, you know that you need me to take care of me. Allow yourself to see it."

With these words he finally let go of her and took a step back.

Rhaenyra glared at him fearfully and then turned her back towards him. Daemon watched her as she left the room and felt relief wash over him. He would fix this. He would bring order to this mess. Rhaenyra was his and he would do whatever it took to make sure that no one could question this statement. If he had to eliminate Duncan and every other suitor he'd do it.

He was the rogue prince and no one would steal away what was his right in front of his nose.

PALESTINE/GAZA - HOW TO HELP IN SMALL WAYS 🍉🍉

Hello everyone, I hope you are also deeply troubled by the destruction and genocide happening in Gaza, I hope people will stop ignoring this and hopefully we can come together and help end this violence and bloodshed, and we mustn't stop supporting Palestine. We mustn't stop fighting till every inch is free. I am going to share some ways in which we can help in small ways. (BY NO MEANS AM I A CREDIBLE SOURCE - PLEASE RESEARCH/FACT CHECK THINGS I SAY/SOURCES I GIVE - I am a teenager trying to spread awareness, if you see anything wrong/problematic with my post or want anything removed/added my dms are open)

1 - DAILY CLICK

arab.org is a website where with a simple push of a button every 24 hours you can generate donations for not only Gaza, but other issues like environment, women, poverty, helping refugees ect.. its very easy to do, and there is much proof/evidence of it working online, also share it with your friends!

2 - FUNDRAISER LIST

On my account, I usually share campaigns for families in Gaza, i have created a list of fundraisers where you can donate to improve the quality of life in Gaza, make life a bit easier through the hardships. But please note, not every family here is verified, (you should he able to see on their accounts) so if you want to look into the family/contact them before donating that is understandable.

I understand not everyone is able to donate, but most people are able to transfer a small amount of money, any amount can literally be a life saver/changer for a struggling family.

HERE IS THE POST

HERE IS A LINKTREE OF DIFFERENT FUNDRAISERS

3 - BOYCOTT

Boycotting has a history of being a very effective form of protest, we can help Gaza out by refraining from products that fund Isreal to the best of our abilities.

I highly recommend the app "No thanks !" where you can scam the baracode of a product and see if its on the list or not before buying.

HERE contains a list of brands to boycott also (this website is not mine)

If you cannot partake in certain boycotts due to a financial situation that is understandable - I am asking people to boycott to the best if their ability <3

4 - PETITION

HERE is a petition you can sign for Palestine, it only takes two minutes.

ALSO HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

(About getting educated/spreading awareness below)

5 - GET EDUCATED

I am not claiming to be the most educated in the world on this topic, I am always open to learning more/accepting criticism for what I take as truth/have heard and grow from that, I am always accepting of criticism about misinformation/outdated information. However, it is astounding how much/what I have learned from only visiting some websites/watching some videos. I will link some here, but it is important that you do your own research and fact check/look into more sources you find. Please look into this if you have free time. The least we can do is stay up to date with what's happening.

HERE, HERE, HERE are educational websites

"I sincerely hope we can agree to not remain silent while countless Palestinian civilians are bombed in Gaza. I hope we can agree not to support sending more arms while the Defense Minister of Israel spouts genocidal language and the Prime Minister tweets out videos of civilians being bombed. I hope the people of Palestine and Gaza will merit the same sympathy and compassion in your heart that the Israeli civilians get." - exerpt from HERE

UN report on death toll count

Al Jazeera report on death toll

The guardian report on deaths

Website on 2018 boarder protests

Very educational video - explores how Gaza is treated by youtube/the media

"A bomb would drop maybe on a crowded or tented area, and then the drones would come down and pick off civilians, children. And we had description after description after description this was not, you know, an occasional thing. This was day after day after day after day operating on children who would say "I was lying on the ground after a bomb had dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me" And that's clearly a deliberately act. And it's a persistent act, persistent targeting civilians" - an excerpt from Surgeon Nizam Mamode (I encourage you look into him) website HERE

6 - SPREAD AWARENESS

I urge you to speak up about Palestine, I urge you to please keep posting about Palestine, say the names of victims, repeat the atrocities for the world to see, the more we share, the more people we reach and the more people might want to take action. You can post on any social media website, Pinterest, Tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, make a google doc, Tumblr, literally anywhere you can post.

Please also, (if its safe to of course) get involved irl, keep going to protests/rallies, put up posters around your community, talk to your friends about it, talk about it at school, whatever it is PLEASE DO NOT FALL SILENT. The more we ignore Gaza, the more blood is on our hands.

Again, please tell me if any of my sources are dodgy/if anything is incorrect or harmful. Thank you for listening to me, and free Palestine forever <33 🍉🍉🩷

Hazards of Endearment || Chapter Two: Recollection

Pairing || Cooper Adams (Abbott?) / Female Reader

Fandom || Trap (2024)

Warning || This is a slow-burn, dark romance. There will be lying, manipulation, infidelity, and eventual coercion and kidnapping in this fic. Cooper is not a good guy and brings out ugly sides of the reader's character. If that is problematic or upsetting to you, I encourage you to skip this one. In addition to that, the 'reader' in this fic is epileptic and there are mentions and depictions of grand mal seizures in this fic as well as allusions to parental mental abuse and munchausen's by proxy.

Tag List || @amethystblackkchaos @dirtylittlefairytales

Cooper kept his eyes on the ground as he waited for your answer. His body sang with tension; each sinew coiled in anticipation of having to jump the gun on taking his next victim. 

You had seen him. You’d caught sight of him as he disposed of his most recent kill. He didn’t know how long you’d watched him before he caught sight of you, but it was long enough that when his brown eyes met yours, you ran. 

You were small, and you were fast, but he was faster; more physically fit. He’d had a longer stride and could cross the same distance in one step as you could in two. 

You’d gotten all the way to the top of Mourner’s Peak and he’d given you two options; take a leap off the cliffside, or come with him. 

But it seemed your body chose a third option. 

He watched with surprise as your face went pale and you became eerily still.  

He thought it was the look of someone who had realized they’d lost; someone who was going to lose their life by his hand. But the expression was too blank–too empty. Something was wrong. Dissociation, maybe? Freeze response?

But then, your eyes had rolled back in your head. He watched as you dropped to the ground and every muscle in your body contracted; your back arching as if in the throes of passion, your arms and legs straightening to the point that he was sure it would be painful if you were at all aware. 

A grand mal, also called a tonic clonic. But the onset was slow–maybe it started as a temporal lobe seizure and became a grand mal?

He’d started dragging you away from the cliffside and gotten you on your side when your body had gone slack and your breathing had calmed. Your seizure had passed. And as you slowly regained your faculties, your eyes had no fear or apprehension when they’d met his. There had been no recognition in your gaze at all. 

It was all too perfect. 

So perfect that he had to risk it. He had to be sure. He had to test your recollection. 

If you remembered anything it would be easy enough to haul you back up to the peak and throw you off of it. Or to put you in his van and take you to one of his safe houses. 

“Mnh…” you said as he made it half-way down the incline. “The bus.”

“The bus?” he asked. 

“Can’t drive with the seizures,” you said. 

“Ah, right,” he said. “What else?”

“Do you know much about seizures? How they work in the brain?” you asked him. 

Yes, he thought to himself. “No,” he lied. 

“I usually have temporal lobe seizures–they look kind of like zoning out–and then they develop into grand mal seizures right after,” you said. “The temporal lobe handles memory, so it’s not uncommon for me to lose a few hours or even most of a day after I have one.”

Good, he thought.

“How often do you have them?” he asked. 

“A couple times a month,” you said. “Though I usually can tell if I’m going to have a tough day. I usually stay home on those days. Guess this one snuck up on me.”

Unseen to you, he closed his eyes and gave a silent, relieved exhale. Though if he was honest, he wasn’t sure why he was so relieved. It wouldn’t have been the first time he cleaned up a loose end, though the need to do so was rare. He was, after all, meticulous. 

Which brought him to his next question. 

“What brought you out to Mourner’s Peak, anyway?” he asked you. “It’s got a reputation for being a bit morbid.”

“What brought you out here then?” you asked. 

“I asked you first,” he insisted, sneaking a look back at you to make sure your expression hadn’t changed. 

It had, but not in the way he was fearing. You were averting your eyes, there was a little extra color dusting the apples of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose. Embarrassment. Sheepishness. Someone who didn’t want him to think you were odd. 

He could work with that. Oh yes, he could work with that. 

“I guess I just…have a fascination…with the macabre,” you said. 

“Ah,” he said. “A local urban legend chaser, then.”

Mourner’s Peak, according to local lore, was said to be a cursed place for couples. Starting back in the 1800’s when a man, rejected in courtship by his childhood friend, asked her to meet him at the peak. When she’d arrived, he’d asked for an embrace. 

And then he’d held onto her as he’d jumped off the cliffside, killing them both. 

Since then, it had been the site of multiple suicides and murders and was rumored to be haunted or cursed or whatever it was. The superstition wasn’t why Cooper had picked it as a dumping location. He picked it because it was a hard trail and it was generally avoided because of the silly rumors about it. 

“Tell me more about this fascination,” he said, doing his best to sound warm and inviting. Non-judgemental. “You seem a little young for morbid inclinations. What are you, twenty?”

“Wow, thanks–no I’m twenty-seven,” you said. “And…well… I guess I’ve had enough close calls to be a little curious about it.”

Cooper smiled to himself, enjoying a private joke at your expense. Enjoying that you had no idea just how close this particular call had been for you. 

“So is that the kinda stuff you do for fun, then? Paranormal investigating? Hanging out in graveyards? Ouiji boards?” He asked. 

“Now you’re just being mean,” you said. 

He gave a pleasant chuckle, finally making it to the base of the incline before the trail leveled out. He adjusted you up on his back a little further, rolling his neck once as he tried to ignore the primal part of him that responded to the way his hands pressed into the soft curve of your thigh. 

“You never told me what you were doing out here,” you pointed out. 

“I live nearby,” he lied smoothly. “It’s a good trail to take to keep fit, and it’s nice enough out here that I don’t feel like I’m actually exercising.”

“Mnh,” you said. “I guess it works, you’re carrying me like it’s nothing. Not even breaking a sweat.”

“This 6’3” stature has its uses,” he said.

This was exactly what he was hoping for. Nice, boring, pleasant conversation. The kind of conversation that put people at ease. 

It was quiet for a few moments after that. The sound of his steady breaths and the crunch of gravel beneath his boots were the only things that could be heard.

He lost himself in thought for a while. Lost himself in revised plans for hiding the body. In what excuse he would give to Rachel for missing dinner. Then the weight of your head dropped onto his shoulder; your breath rustling the hair at the back of his neck and making his arms prickle with gooseflesh beneath the sleeves of his sweater. 

“You alright?” he asked. 

“I’m sorry, I usually sleep all day after a seizure,” you said. “I’m just so tired.”

Something tightened in his stomach; an emotion he usually only felt for Riley or Logan. Endearment. The desire to protect. A strange shift considering he was killing you just moments ago. He wondered where it came from. 

“Sleep if you want,” he said. “We’ve got probably about an hour before we make it back to the beginning of the trail.”

“I don’t want to be even heavier on your back,” you said, your voice growing hoarse with sleep. 

“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “This is easy mode. Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually easier to carry someone on your back when they’re dead weight. Makes you just kinda drape onto me instead of worrying about where your limbs are placed. Besides, you’re really not that heavy.”

“You’re sure?” you asked. 

“Positive,” he said. “I’ll wake you when we get to my car and figure out where I’m taking you, alright?” 

“Mnh,” you said again in answer. 

And just after that, your weight slackened against him. Every soft curve of your body, every ounce of weight strangely comforting to him as he continued down the trail. 

And there is something about you, he realizes. 

Something that he doesn’t feel like sharing.

The Pitt S1

I’d been resisting watching this because I’d come across some fandom Takes(TM) here that had made me think I wouldn’t like it. They’d been wrong.

But what it really did it to me was a certain gifset (that I now can’t find) of a certain ship posted by @electricbluebutterflies that pushed all the right buttons and made me take a look around other gifs and some fic and, well… I’d also read some of your metas, @eveningspirit, but you know, as much as we do think a lot alike, I do need a more or less problematic lil’ ship to pull me in. :P

I’ve been on vacation this week (May holidays), so after catching up with SVU (meh, but OK for familiarity reasons) and Organized Crime (every episode infarctious, I like this shit!), I decided to watch an episode and see if I can stand it. I could still drop it if I didn’t, right?

Alas, I did like it, so much so that I proceeded to watch 4 eps on Thursday, five on Friday and 6 yesterday – but I was doing housework for an hour or so every couple of episodes (b/c I can’t work continuously anyway due to health reasons.)

So, obviously, I liked it.

The rest under the cut to save your dash.

The concept of 15 hours of a work day being a season was definitely one of the reasons for binging, because it just kept me interested in what happened next.

There were a handful of occasions when I had to look away from the medical gore, but not too many to interfere with overall enjoyment.

Now, the plots were as they are in any medical procedural (though, I might say, they did some things better than some other shows.)

But what I’m a character-driven person and oh, the characters. So many delightfully flawed, broken, but at the same time brilliant and sympathetic characters. I don’t even dislike anyone. Well, Gloria, but even she showed her good side by the end. She did annoy me, though, ugh, typical bureaucrat. But that’s her job to be.

Now, it’s hard to pick a favourite because there’s something about nearly everyone that I find compelling. But perhaps Cassie McKay. I love her. She’s so maternal and a good doctor and obviously a mom who loves her son a lot. But I also liked that they showed her being biased (because even the best people are in some way and it’s good to be reminded to check yourself once in a while) and frustrated and, well, human.

Woo-hoo, and there was the pleasant surprise of McKay’s shitty ex being played by a familiar face (Eli from Station 19). And it brought some fun to relieve all the stress in (for me, as a viewer; not for the characters, obviously. Though Collins definitely enjoyed herself when handling him not too carefully. :P)

Speaking of, I liked Collins well enough, more towards the end than at the beginning.

Now to more complicated characters.

Okay, Robby.

See, part of the reason why I’d avoided watching this show was that they gave him a stupid last name and I’d expected to be frustrated to no end. But fortunately it wasn’t mentioned more than a few times and it was at least pronounced well. And I headcanon that that stupid ‘a’ is a typo from the border officer whichever of Robby’s ancestors had the misfortune to get when first arriving in the US. Because when you’re a poor immigrant, you’re just happy they let you in and you don’t complain about your name being misspelled. *sigh* Okay, I can live with that.

(Look, this hits close to home for me in more than one way.)

Anyway, I hadn’t expected to like Robby due to the aforementioned takes, but I did! You know I have a type when it comes to fictional characters and he definitely checks a lot of boxes. Here he is, on a very bad day, an anniversary of his mentor’s death, then two kids die on him and he learns of his “best resident’s” drug misuse before mass casualty shooting at an event where his sort-of step son went who is then brought in injured with his girlfriend who dies… A day from hell indeed.

But despite all that, for most of the time, he’s caring and compassionate (exercising so much empathy tortured by his choices and a little suicidal, I guess)), a good doctor and a good teacher and a good friend and boss.

Except when it comes to Langdon.

He could he have handled things with Langdon better, definitely without screaming. But he’s just a human and considering the day he’d had it’s understandable his fuse went off – not right, not professional, but understandable.

I think disappointment played a big part in how he reacted, because Langdon was one of the people he trusted and relied on the most. And maybe also fear – what if something had happened to a patient and he hadn’t noticed – ultimately it would have been his responsibility, and not just legally, but morally – I think, being the man he is, it would have broken him if anyone died because Robby hadn’t noticed Langdon’s problems. But that’s just me speculating.

Now, Langdon. The above said, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and I’ll believe it’s as he said – that he was trying to wean himself off the drugs he got after his back injury. From what we saw on screen, he is also a good doctor and a good teacher and he hasn’t done anything that would endanger a patient. Sure, he was moody, irritated, anxious, and harsh and rash (getting the puppy) – but we don’t know how much of it is just his personality (and youth re: rashness) or withdrawal symptoms or, you know, just resulting from being in pain. Because I know pain, okay. And it’s damn hard to stay calm and collected and not snap when you’re in pain all or most of the time and still trying to work and work well – and sometimes there’s just a drop too much of everything. So, yeah, Langdon has my sympathies.

Of course, stealing from the hospital and the patients is wrong, and long term opiates use would be bad for Langdon, so he certainly should do the rehab and then have some supervision/testing as were Robby’s conditions. Which were maybe (too) harsh, but they make sense. And they could probably be softened with time and talk and finding out the truth (the audit of his pharmacy use history) and depending on the rehab results etc.

So, yeah, I don’t think things are as bad as some of the fandom make it and I definitely hope Langdon does what it takes (rehab etc.) and comes back to work and he and Robby patch things op.

Because Langdon also doesn’t know, what we, the viewers, do. Namely, that Robby almost flushed the pills to get rid of the evidence that Langdon took them; that he asked Dana for an audit quietly. Which tells us more about how Robby feels about Langdon than Langdon thinks.

Okay, enough about these two.

Dana! Dana is awesome and I love her. I hope she comes back to work. But I also understand that everything might have finally boiled over and she has enough. At least she deserves a few weeks off to rest. (But ‘murica, ugh.)

I also like Santos. Yeah, she’s brash and ambitious (and trying to engineer a medical condition in a patient so she could do a procedure she wanted was wrong). But we also saw her caring and approach patients thoughtfully – not to mention taking blame for Samira (although I wouldn’t be surprised if she wants to collect on that in the future) and offering Whitaker a place to stay. She reminds me of a friend I lost touch with (it was pre-mobile phones era.) A wonderfully complex character, I’m looking forward to get to know her better.

I like both Whitaker and Mel. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but this is getting long. I read Mel as autistic/on the spectrum, yes? And I agree with ES on her being aro-ace. I certainly don’t ship her with Langdon (it’s fine if you do, I can see why, but personally it’s just not my thing.)

I also like Javadi – loved her when she bloomed under pressure and awed her mom. And lol, her lil’ crush on Matteo. (I also laughed aloud when Chad got jealous of the possibility of Cassie and Matteo – not actively shipping them, but they would be cute. Typical douchebag mindset form Chad, though.)

Love Perlah and Princess and their behind-the-back comments in Tagalog. And who knows who else, there were so many characters; like I said, I really enjoyed the variety of personalities.

And then we come to the ship that got me into this mess (thanks, Alyssa), Abbot x Mohan, of effing course. Did I say I have a type? I very much do.

I saw that gifset and my brain and heart and ladyparts went brrrr, as they say. FML. I’ve read copious amounts of fic.

And then my mind (and fic I saw) did the logical (and expected from me, come on) jump and added Robby to the mix.

Anyway, my brain is too ship-addled to analyse those two and this post has bgot long enough. Suffice it to say that I like both characters. Samira is dedicated to treat patients as whole humans – all doctors should be like that. But, yeah, she needs life outside the hospital as Cassie said. And Abbot’s cowboy ways are entertaining to watch while he’s also a good doctor and teacher and a caring person (and a good friend to Robby (and the other way around obviously.)

I'll end here by saying I'm looking forward to s2.

I do have some tutorials posted here and there, but now that I render my stuff more, maybe it is time to do an updated one… interest noted, one day I’ll do it 👌

Speaking of old and new fandoms, is the new game Kodaka made with Uchikoshi on your radar? From the little i've seen so far, The Hundred Line seems to take the typical Danganronpa edginess and quirkiness and just run with it, which is something i love

It kind of is! We are aware of it, and when the time is right, we’ll definitely check it out. I’m just very excited that there is now more of this very specific flavour of fun, so we’ll absolutely play it one day…

Anonymous asked:

They look like they are going to scam me, or bonk me, idk at this point

Both, Anon. They have a plan, first, they scam, and then they bonk. And if they can’t scam, they bonk first and just take money after. Works like a well-oiled machine…

Love the implication that future Ace is jobless

Is he a free loader? Imagine getting ass fucked by a guy who mooches off your money

Yeah, poor Deuce barely can keep up keeping himself alive and well, and now he also has a guy who fucks him to worry about..!

Ace is ~temporarily~ jobless, I just like to think that he keeps getting fired because he keeps arguing with his bosses lol And in contrast to Deuce, who found his purpose in life and is trying very hard to do his best, Ace is a bit disillusioned with life, so he spends his days lazing around, complaining about how stupid it is to work, and saying that he’ll find a job when he feels like it okay stop nagging on him stupid Deuce!!

Anonymous asked:

I think Ace should get him drunk again, just because he’s already there…….. a shame not to, yeah?

Exactly! It’s like their little party never ended~ they should have even more fun!

Anonymous asked:

That’s what Ace gets for making Deuce drink more and be late!! How dare

He got imprisoned!! For his “making Deuce drink more” crimes! 1000 years in Deuce’s shitty apartment..!!

have you ever heard of rin itoshi x ikki niko it seems like a ship you’d enjoy

Sorry, to us both are bottoms!

Anonymous asked:

I'm a lil curious, You guys have any like "top/bottom" classifications stuff for the manga Yuus? Yuuken, Yuuka, Yuuta and Yuuna, if i am not wrong.

There isn’t really a point in giving them a classification when we don’t really ship them with anyone (we really don’t care for any “canon” Yuus), but incidentally, all of them strike us as tops somehow lol

Anonymous asked:

what twisted wonderland characters do you think are into smelling other peoples underwear?

Definitely Rook, he is like the most obvious and the biggest offender when it comes to stuff like that lol but also weirdly Trey (they really are birds of a feather), Jack (guilty pleasure) and Ortho (he’s analyzing!).
