A/N. tysm anon, i appreciate it! hope this is good enough ^^ tbh i couldn't think of any other reason why they would be fighting...... my bad

you had learned far too quickly that, as his girlfriend, it was pointless to argue with rindou. the neither of you will ever win; it will only end in stubbornness and the two of you not talking for two days before going back to normal, with no apologies said.

and, this time was no different.

“my god, ’m not asking you to fuckin’ never talk to another girl again, ’m just askin’ you to stop letting girls kiss all over you and fuckin’ flirt with you at your club!” you yelled at him for the nth time this night, groaning loudly in frustration. once again, you had seen him come home with kiss marks along his neck, probably from random girls.

the girls never meant anything to him, you knew that. he never kissed back, he never flirted back, he never even let him kiss him on the lips. it was only really on his neck, and.. he let them sit on his lap; he never pushed them off, though. but he didn’t understand why you’re so upset about it! he doesn’t give a single damn about any of those girls!

“you’re being overdramatic.” he huffed, rolling his eyes. he was sitting leant back against the couch with his legs crossed, a hand rubbing his forehead to hopefully soothe his headache. “i’m being dramatic? i’ve seen girls grinding up all over you like whores! you shouldn’t be letting them do that!” you retaliated, your eye twitching.

“so a few cockhungry whores acted like cockhungry whores, that’s not my fuckin’ fault.” he rolled his eyes, his own voice raising in volume. you scoffed with wide eyes at him saying it wasn’t his fault. “i’m not saying that the reason they’re being sluts is because of you! ’m saying that they’re being whores and practically fuckin’ themselves on your thigh, and you don’t give a damn!”

“so what? i don’t fucking care about them! it’s not that big of a fuckin’ deal!” he yelled back at you, snapping. you simply groaned at him, stomping your foot and walking off somewhere else in the house, unable to keep arguing over this. how could he not care? did he not value your relationship?

it had been at least an hour, the two of you having not seen each other at all ever since your argument with him. rindou, had decided to go back to the club, after he heard his brother was there without him. he planned to just cool off, let out some steam and relax, have a few drinks; and that’s exactly what he did.

that was, until you had happened.

he heard some commotion outside of the V.I.P. room where him, his elder brother, ran, and a few random drunk girls were chilling, making him raise a brow. he was half-drunk right now, so his head was too fuzzy to register that it was your voice arguing to be let in with a man who was guarding the room with the blaring music in his ears. “ooh, rindou, you not gonna let your girl in? she sounds upset..” ran chuckled heartily, swirling a glass of wine in his hand, one arm slung over a girls shoulder who was sitting pressed against his side. that had caught rindou’s attention, away from the bottles of whiskey he’d been downing all night. “my girl? she’s here?” his eyebrow twitched, speaking up before his older brother got the chance to answer. “oi, let ’er in!” he huffed, shrugging the girl who has on his lap away from him, not ready to have to deal with you so soon after your argument. especially since he’s a whole lot meaner when he’s intoxicated.

his half-lidded eyes landed on your drunk and wobbling figure as you walked in, already glaring at him with your hands on your hips the second the doors had opened. it seemed that you, too, had come here to let off some steam and get drunk. and, by the seems of it, you were far more drunk than he was.

“what the fuck are you doing here?” his lidded eyes narrowed in response to your glare, ignoring his brother and the horny drunk girls surrounding the two, standing up. you were out there, alone, drunk, and vulnerable. why didn’t you just come to V.I.P. first thing when you arrived? he didn’t want to see you right now, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.

what if someone had touched you? or, worse, what if someone had taken advantage of your vulnerable state? he would never forgive himself if he let anything happen to you. he might not show it in the best ways, but you were his entire world, the love of his life. he would hate himself if he let something happen to you.

“iiiiii was having fun,” you slurred to him, flushed cheeks puffing out in an adorable little pout, lips puckered. “what the fuck is your problem? someone could have taken advantage of you like this.” he scoffed, placing his hands on your hips as he stood in front of you, pulling you against him. his grip was bruising, nails digging into the flesh.

“like hell you were,” he huffed. “you were just getting drunk cause you were pissed off at me.” he narrowed his eyes at you, suddenly picking you up off of the floor and into his arms, carrying you over to one of the couches in the V.I.P. lounge you three were at.

gasping as he picked you up, your arms shot up to his shoulders in a pathetic attempt to stabilize, and push yourself off of him with a pouty little whine erupting from your throat. as he threw you onto the couch with absolutely no care in the world for your comfort, you propped yourself up on your elbows and glared at him.

“what the hell are hic! ..you doing?” you questioned, hiccuping drunkly. he lazily sat between your legs, pushing you back down onto the cushions before spreading your thighs apart, making your eyes widen. “showing you that i only want you.” he looked down at you with narrowed, lidded eyes.

meanwhile, his elder brother, ran, watched with interest. there was still a girl, or two, now snuggled up to his sides, but you couldn’t really tell between your blurry vision and the bad angle you had. he simply chuckled, teasing his brother, “oh? brother, you gonna fuck that little cutie in front of me? how cute.”

“shut up.” rindou growled lowly, pushing your panties to the side, your legs spread around him as he kneeled between them, preventing your squirms as he undid his belt. he frankly couldn’t care who watched. you had chosen to learn your fucking lesson the hard way, and that was simply your fault.

“bet you won’t be able to make her cum in faster than two minutes.” ran proposed, watching the scene in front of him as his younger brother undid his pants, tossing his belt somewhere off to the side, lowering his boxers and his dress pants just enough to expose his cock, aligning the tip with your pretty pink pussy.

hearing that, rindou looked up from your body, hearing your whines as you desperately thrusted your hips back into him, wanting him inside already. was that because of the alcohol in your system? maybe. was it because you were also horny from seeing him so pissed off? 100%.

“21,500 yen that i can, in less than two minutes.” he countered back, hands digging into the plushy flesh of your thighs as he kept them apart, refusing to move, or even enter until this bet gets going. ran grinned, grabbing his phone out of his pocket and setting up a timer. “alright, 2 minutes. let’s see what you can do, little brother~”

he showed rindou his phone screen, before starting the timer. at the exact same moment, rindou slid himself inside of your tight heat, letting out a soft sigh at the feeling of your warm walls enveloping his hardened cock. not even letting you have a chance to adjust to his sie as he bottomed out, he began roughly rutting his hips into yours.

his eyes were glued onto your pussy, watching the way his dick slid in and out at such a mind-numbingly quick pace, your moans echoing off the walls with tears forming in your eyes. he leant down, kissing and biting along the column of your neck harshly, causing a whine to erupt from your lips.

“’s t-too muh—ah!” you couldn’t even finish your sentence as the tip of his dick repeatedly bullied your g-spot, whining and sniffling and tears rolled down your cheeks. he simply scoffed, rolling his eyes. he leaned back up, feeling your cunt clenching around him. his hand reached up from your thigh, wrapping around your neck suffocatingly.

“too much? awh, so sad. poor thing can’t even handle a bit of cock,” he mocked, your legs trembling around him. meanwhile, ran was plming and fist fucking his cock at the mere sound of your slutty moans, the disgusting plap of skin against skin, and the sight of you getting dicked down by his little brother.

his hand only tightened around your throat, a choked gasp escaping past your lips as tears continued to fall, walls fluttering around his length. your chest bounced with each thrust of his hips, little ’ah!’, ’ah!’, ’ah!’s slipping past your parted lips as his dick bullied it’s way through your insides.

“f-fuck—” he groaned lowly, his hips stuttering as he felt you gushing around him, creamy sustance creating a ring around his member as he continued to fuck into you, overstimulating your already wasted body. he released your throat, allowing you to breathe properly as his hand moved down to your clit, rubbing it in firm circles.

his thrusts grew more and more sloppy, as you begged him to stop being hiccups and whines, telling him that ’it’s too much!’ or how you can’t handle anymore, before warm ropes of his cum filled your insides, spewing into you and painting your womb white with his cum.

he panted, slowly pulling out of you and looking down at your now messy form, before an alarm went off. he wiped his sweaty ahir from his forehead, turning to look at ran with a now cheeky fucking grin on his face.

“i won. pay up, big bro.”

[krystella-shifts]

Everything is clicking for me y'all!!! ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ Part 2 lmao

If you need help with: • how to stop reacting to the 3d • stop looking at 3d for validation & be ur own validation • how to manifest shifting/shift using loa • manifest FASTER cuz you won't be wavering anymore • ALL OF IT CAN BE ANSWERED FOR YOU IN THIS POST

First of let's take a example ✨

Manifesting money example ★*'•

let's say you Affirm for money, you script it or whatever you do and you get movement. You see signs or hear about a promotion at your job or idk hearing your parents talk about giving you sum cash lol BUT THEN you check your bank account and it's the same amount or you didn't see anything, you didn't hear anything else from your parents and you get discharged like "oh wtvr. Didn't work. Nothing is happening" blah blah

If you're not a shifter you don't have to read this.

Shifting ⊹ .° ୭̥

as a shifting blog (yes it is 😭) let's take a shifting example & explanation for understanding and applying in shiftings case.

So you were trying to shift to your dr and you felt all the symptoms, lights, emotions and sensations that you are there, you affirmed,you did the method, you felt like you ARE there but you were still nervous to open your eyes, unsure if you shifted but you finally did open your eyes.... And it was your bubble reality (I call this shiz bubble reality deal with it 💀) THEN YOU GOT FRUSTRATED AND PUT LABELS ON THIS ATTEMPT AS A "FAILED ATTEMPT" AND ROLLED OVER AND CALLED IT A DAY.

My honest reaction if you've done anything like that:

First of all- why're you "TRYING"?? you're the one deciding here, you're the creator of your reality. No matter what kind of reality you're experiencing, you 🫵🏻 created it. Yes you did. And all those symptoms, yeah tbh it's fun to feel symptoms but they're just the effects on body and your body is NOT the one shifting so don't focus on it too much, use it as a placebo effect rather. if you get symptoms believe that they mean you're shifting/have shifted. You did all that affirming, visualizing and felt it, you were almost certain you shifted.. but the thing is you need to be FULLY certain instead of almost certain. No matter what you see, you keep having it in your mind/imagination. HERE'S WHY YOU DO NOT LOOK AT THE 3D FOR VALIDATION... CUZ IT IS LOOKING RIGHT BACK AT YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE FOR VALIDATIONNNN. you're the validation here.

4d is above 3d for a reason. Why we call it more real reality is because it is the one creating. Imagination is the creative mode, like a factory where it's all made. Physical world is just a reflection of it so what's more real bruh? A mirror? Absolutely not. So why would you look at it for validation. It's like wanting to put on mascara but you're putting it on the mirror and asking why it's not working. Cuz YOU ARE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO CHANGEEE. if you are not even changing then don't even be upset that the 3d is still the same pls. Ofc it is cuz your core beliefs are still the same as well!

You don't look outside of you for validation when you're literally creating the outside from the inside (your imagination.)

It's like reading yesterday's news paper and expecting today's news.

A very important thing that clicked for me was when I Affirm/visualise/script wtvr, it's inevitable that I'm gonna get what I want so there's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH TO CHECK THE 3D BRUH. it clicked for me that 3d is so ducking powerless 😮‍💨 unless ‼️ YOU give it power. It's ONLY a reflection of who you are, what you're being/your state. Idgaf, the law doesn't gaf. whatever you assume IS true.

So why are you letting 3d decide if you have it or not? If you shifted or not? If you stick to the fact that you do have it, NOT for the 3d to confirm, cuz that's inevitable, but for YOU. do it for you bro, do it for you. And OBVIOUSLY it's gonna be reflected in the physical IF YOU ARE STICKING TO THE NEW STORY. Don't go back and forth with "oh I have it" "no i don't FML" "i am in my dr" "when will I shift from this reality? It sucks" YOU CAN'T SERVE TWO MASTERSSSS

So stop looking at the 3d for validation cuz you're the one who created and is creating it. Even if you open your eyes here- no you didn't. No you DID NOT. You're literally in your DR, wtf are you talking about? You're literally slaying. I am in my dr cuz I said so. Idgaf what 3d says.

TMI: my wallpaper literally says "Go within, everything you need is there" No matter what it is, it's gonna happen if you have it in the 4d.

⚠ SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 93 AHEAD! ⚠

now that we have finally met demetrius, it seems like a great time to dissect his first scene and proper conversation! :]

his wide, unfocused stare hides ✨unexpected complexity✨, as expected of a desmond

he's impatient (common desmond trait at this point)

he's nonchalantly exceptional, as we expected and have been repeatedly told thus far

...but most importantly, amidst a sea of accomplishments, he is burdened with a lack of people skills and visibly frustrated by it, as evidenced by his conversation with damian in this chapter.

the analysis and speculation continues under the cut!!

so, a breakdown of the main meat of his introduction

similarly to every single time there's an interaction between damian and another desmond, damian is the one who reaches out first by calling out to demetrius, who immediately asks him what he wants. damian tries to begin with small talk, congratulating him on his accomplishments of the day

demetrius is brief and to the point, but it doesn't feel to me like he is annoyed here. perhaps curious, perhaps indifferent, we don't know -- demetrius is a boy of few explanatory thoughts, after all

merely in the next page, demetrius is revealed to have a blank mind for most of this conversation.

i don't believe this is a sign that demetrius was experimented on or anything. obviously, this does not rule out that he has been experimented on, but i don't think his lack of thoughts are indicative of that, nor do i believe anya was too far away (in previous chapters, she has read the thoughts of people at greater distances than this with ease!). i think this has something to do with his upbringing, but also very importantly his state of mind at the moment

his eyes are wide open, but his stare is unfocused. i think this is an intentional choice to hammer in that he's not really here at this moment, listening to what is undoubtedly to him pointless praise. he has likely tuned all of it out completely.

(as a side note, if we wanna involve anya in this situation more, we could assume that he is intentionally cloaking his thoughts from anya or any other potential mind-readers, but while i do think donovan is very likely involved in project apple, i severely doubt the financial benefactors of project apple would spend likely a lot of money to figure out a way to shield the thoughts of a middle schooler, regardless of who his dad is, from potential telepaths. as far as we know, anya is the only one with this specific power and demetrius is unlikely to have any information that would incriminate the operation. if that was an issue, i don't see why they wouldn't spend their money to protect melinda's mind, since she likely has way more info than demetrius ever could.)

moving on from that side note though,

we do not see demetrius' face as he says this! this is important to me

we are left unaware to whether or not he is disappointed or just trying to abscond to take a nap (he really needs one)

but then, he says this:

this, to me, is a direct attempt at connecting!! he's trying to reciprocate the small talk, the praise, trying to continue the conversation. his thought, "i don't understand him," may feel contradictory but to me, it only underlines his frustration about this, because he knows what damian is going to say next:

even though it was expected, this is not what demetrius was hoping to get out of this. his downturned eyebrows give a feeling of discontent. he is not blank, he is visibly frustrated, visibly annoyed.

and we are thus made aware of a boundary demetrius and melinda both share:

never mention donovan.

for one reason or another, this is the boundary damian has overstepped with both his mother AND his brother now, without ever being informed that it IS a boundary in the first place

so demetrius, upset, turns around to leave and throws this at damian:

this is important, because damian has shared a very similar sentiment to anya before, albeit in a mournful tone.

demetrius likely feels similarly neglected by his parents, but is long past feeling sad about it. he has moved straight to anger, understandably!

but the bigger reason for his frustration, imo, relates to a problem damian once again ALSO has: people treating them as a gateway to their father and nothing more.

demetrius has more than likely also been treated like this, and probably still is unless his peers have learned not to engage because of his brief, snippy responses, so he is familiar with the feeling of being used.

...and damian unknowingly treated him the exact same way, even though he's also grown to hate it.

of course, he's 6 years old and he meant no harm by this -- he's just a lonely boy trying to be noticed by his neglectful parents, after all, what else could he possibly do?

but for demetrius, this is the end of the conversation. he is not his father's manager, he's not even that close to him, so why does his brother only ever talk to him when it relates to their father?

as he said before: he doesn't understand him, and why he keeps doing this. does he not know there is little info to be gained?

he doesn't understand their father either, with his impossibly high expectations, never pleased, never happy, never available

and lastly, as ewen and emile try to introduce themselves

demetrius has one final thought.

and he casts aside this entire conversation, leaving the scene as empty as he entered it.

of course, the chapter doesn't end here, but this is where demetrius' involvement in it does, leaving us with a newfound understanding that while to damian, demetrius represents everything he can only strive to become... to demetrius? his accomplishments ring hollow in the face of everything he wishes he could understand.

we do get an extra flashback that hearkens back to a better yesterday, but while donovan is lacking some very important details (those scars, that dead disinterest that follows his every move -- he seems mirthful somehow here), we don't know if this scene represents a time when they were closer or if it's simply evidence that as far back as everyone can remember, demetrius has been doing nothing but studying all the time

could this be evidence of something nefarious relating to project apple? eh, not particularly, not to me. the boy's just studying hard, any relation to project apple would have to be more recent in the timeline imo

TL;DR:

demetrius has been built up throughout the past 92 chapters as a figure larger-than-life, and this has been thanks to most of our knowledge of him being directly affected by damian's perception of him, as the younger brother living under his shadow

however, he has now been humanized by his flaws: a short temper and a lack of social skills that comes paired with a clear want to connect, to understand, to converse. he seems to be a very lonely kid, everyone around him either jealous, putting him on a pedestal or actively seeking to use him under the false impression that he has important connections, and although he doesn't mean to, damian has unknowingly been treating demetrius in the same way, only seeking him out when he wants to know something about donovan.

interestingly, him and melinda share the same trigger, that being donovan himself, though we do not yet know if their reason for this is also shared.

CLOSING THOUGHTSSS

it has been so exciting finally meeting this little goober-- i thought i might never see the day 😭😭😭

thank you to whoever read this far, i literally made this blog just now so! HOPE I DID WELL!

💖

[gothghostiie]

hi! i love your how they will react with a reader with daddy issues. mine are really bad so please can we get more Price. preferably a fic ehere the reader has a hard time with her dad and he makes it all better!!

hi!! and ty <3 ask and you shall receive ✨

cw: fluff, gn!reader, daddy issues, recruit!reader

It had been a rough day. you woke up too late for training, spilled something different at every meal, the whole day was just not for you. to top it off, your father had called you after curfew for some reason, needless to say it ended up being a huge argument. so now you're sitting in the common room of the base, sobbing quietly to not wake anyone on accident.

Meanwhile Price, who was awake anyway was taking a stroll through the base, when he saw the faint light from the room. he raised an eyebrow and slowly snuck to the doorway, just to see your sobbing form on the couch. for a moment he looked around to make sure you were alone before stepping in and clearing his throat. "Recruit. what's the matter?" he asked in a gentle tone, getting on one knee in front of you.

you flinched a bit upon suddenly hearing him but quickly took a deep breath to compose yourself. "s-sorry captain. didnt mean to wake you, I'll go to my barracks.." but before you properly finished he put a hand on your lap to keep you in place while shaking his head.

"no no. none of that." he said in a somewhat strict tone. "take a breath and then tell me why you're upset. alright?" his tone was steady and reassuring, he even guided you taking a breath. "there. now, what's the matter?" he asked once again. after another deep breath you finally told him about your shitty day and most importantly what pushed you over the edge - the argument with your dad. Price nodded and listened quietly, his hand still in your lap. only after a moment of letting it sink in he spoke again. "you poor thing." he said, rubbing your leg softly. he thought for a second, then stood back up, opening his arms for you. "c'mere."

your eyes widened a little. you felt unsure and like this was improper, him being your superior and all. however, another reassuring nod from him gave you the confidence you needed, standing up and slowly hugging him. his strong arms wrapped around you, one hand on the back of your head, the other on the small of your back. "there you go." he huffed softly, caressing your head as he felt your face bury into his shoulder. "it's okay, let go. you're safe with me, I'll protect you." as if he knew what to say, the tears started flowing, leaving a wet stain on his grey sweater. Price held you tightly, slowly swaying back and forth with you. "that's it, let it all out.." he cooed again, encouraging you to cry. the whole time he held you, comforted you and just let you cry until you eventually calmed down.

You were just shakily breathing now. "better?" he hummed softly.

"a bit.."

"well then.." he grinned for just a second. "how about you stay with me for a bit longer, hm? I have some paperwork but I can't bear the thought of just leaving you alone now." he suggested, though it was definitely more of an order.

hesitantly you nodded. "okay.." his expression turned a bit smug as his arm wrapped around your waist, leading you to his office like that. in there he quickly sat down in his leather chair which creaked slightly. John got comfy before looking at you, standing next to his chair. "come on. sit down.' he said nonchalantly while tapping his lap, making your cheeks burn.

you hesitated greatly but his soft gaze made it hard to resist, not to mention the feeling of safety being close to him gave you. so, carefully you sat down - just for price to pull you in properly, sitting sideways with your legs dangling in the air. he let out a satisfied groan. "there we go." he hummed, one hand bringing your head to his shoulder, the other holding your legs. "you just relax alright?" he hummed lowly. "I'm here for you, if you need anything you just tell me and I'll get it for you sweetheart." his voice was soft and gentle despite his naturally gruff tone. "you're all good now." with that he began working on his paperwork, always keeping one hand on you, caressing your soft skin with his calloussed fingers.

you couldn't help but glance up at him while snuggling into him, eyes wide like a deer in headlights. occasionally he would glance down and smile, squeezing you gently. "there there. all better, isn't it baby?" he cooed, smiling. you nodded softly, thanking him quietly which made him chuckle.

"don't worry your little head baby. I'll always be here for you."

I’m having ✨minthara brain rot✨so suffer with me

bg3 masterlist

So hear me out; Minthara doesn’t end up with Tav. In fact, Tav goes off with their first romanced, Gale and they get married. Minthara is upset for obvious reasons but she’s not going to beg Tav to stay with her or anything like that. They’re both adults and she refuses to stoop so low as to damage her dignity like that. This leads to her going to the underdark alone and doing a bunch of badass shit (we’ll get there).

The epilogue comes and goes but that’s not where we pick up.

Our story starts about 5 years after that. Tav is being asked to do some adventurer shit that requires them to go to the Underdark. Something about Spawn going missing and Astarion is worried so he asks his friend to help out. Gale isn’t happy about it but he’s not going to stop them either. He and minthara weren’t exactly friendly or even civil most of the time so he’s not thrilled about it. The problem is that Tav refuses to ignore this request and will not say no, leaving Gale in a rather unpleasant position. All he can do is go with Tav and protect them.

Minthara has successfully taken back her family house and is in the process of rebuilding society following the defeat of the Spider-Queen. During all of this, she meets her bride to be, you. Among the many of forlorn travelers and lost souls, a small band of drow find themselves stranded and desperate for a miracle. Your house had been taken during a battle with the Spider-Queen and you have yet to find another house willing to take you in. Minthara comes across your group as her army and her are surveying recent encounters.

A rather foul squelching sound, that of a blade through flesh, rings through the air as Minthara leads her people into the ruins of House Lelith. As she approaches what may have been a a once elegant home, she hears small grunts and huffs coming from just beyond the archway. She sends three soldiers forward in efforts to flank whoever may be inside before taking up the back.

“If you’ve come to finish us off, speak now and I shall grant you the mercy of a quick death,” a soft yet powerful voice murmurs from her left. A sting and a trail of warm blood seeping from it brings shock and mild surprise but nothing is able to shake Minthara to her core as the sight of you.

She spares the briefest of glances towards you and is completely ill prepared for the pandemonium that washes over her.

“Speak before I split your tongue and cleave your heart,” you demand once more and press the blade more so into her neck. She makes no show that it causes her pain aside from the slight flinch of her skin.

“I hold no loyalty to that viper of a queen if that is what you’re asking,” she casually replies while her heart beats wildly. Your armor is in disrepair; bloodied, torn, and hanging together by haphazard threads but you still wear it with pride. The rest of you is a similar state with your hair unbound and wild while spotted with viscera but your beauty is unmatched.

“If not for her, then who?”

“Do you truly not know who i am?”

She can feel your eyes narrow and scrutinize her before you remove your blade and place it in its sheath.

“Minthara of House Baenre of Menzoberranzan,” you state as you prowl around her and stop only when you’re merely inches away, “A former follower of the Absolute and Oathbreaker.”

Her nose flares at your last words, causing you to chuckle as you cross your arms and lean against the archway. “Touch a nerve did I?”

“Are you one of her little spiderlings?” she instead asks, too overcome by you to engage in any form of clever conversation.

“I should think my declaration to sever your head from your body would answer that question, my lady. Or did the tadpole eat away at your brain more than we’ve been led to believe?”

Her small smirk is what captured you and from that day on, you’ve been nearly inseparable. Your romance appeared to be a complete myth as few ever saw you interact outside of political encounters. Those close to you, however, see the small well times glances, the softest of smiles, and the secret touches between the two of you. Minthara may not be outright in her love and devotion for you but she shows it in her fierce desire to protect you. Never out of sight of you, Minthara is always aware of where you are and who is near you. It is rare that she is even out of reach of you but alas duty calls and this is not possible.

In your private quarters, it is an entirely different matter. Her head is forever resting on your shoulder or in your lap as she basks in your warmth and affection. Many nights you take on the task of doing her hair. She lounges in the bath as you gently work through whatever knots and tangles hide in her moon pale strands. By the fire, she’ll rest her head against your knee as she sits between your legs and you brush out her wet hair. Her eyes flutter closed at the care you take to not pull or tug on her scalp. Quiet moans slip out when you graze her ears and when you chuckle at them, she groans out a weak demand to be silent.

“It is you who cannot be silent, my fearsome beloved.”

She’s told you of Tav but to be truthful it is too caught up in the trauma that she suffered under Orin and the Absolute. Thinking of Tav is often too difficult to manage and with you, there is no need to dredge up old wounds as such. That’s not to say you’re unprepared for meeting Tav but let’s be honest with ourselves, anyone would be unprepared to meet the Hero of Baldurs Gate. Everything is a whirl wind upon their arrival with Astarion making his presence well known, Gale and Wyll discussing whatever it is they talk about it, Karlach and Halsin playful daring each other to lift heavy objects. All the while Shadowheart and Tav are quickly discussing something with Minthara and occasionally asking for Astarion’s input. You are standing just beside the door, waiting for your intended and leader to give a command.

Tav makes a comment about the sheer number of people in the room and not so subtly requests the room to be cleared. Minthara glances around and with a slight nod her people file out, leaving the heroic adventure party and yourself. Tav throws a confused look your way as do the others but Minthara ignores it to lead them to the map of the Underdark she has displayed.

Nearly 10 minutes pass before Tav outright asks about your presence and once more requests that you leave. Ever the observers, Shadowheart and Astarion are quick to notice something is different about you. You are not merely a soldier, a trusted advisor even. Much like the first time you met, you’re causally leaning against a pillar with your arms crossed over armor that’s identical to Minthara’s. They share a look of an epiphany before attempting to quiet Tav however their efforts are futile.

As soon as Tav asks who you are and why you’re still here, you take your opportunity to humble the leader.

“Who I am is none of your concern. we are not on the surface where you can demand things because you simply think you are owed them. You’d do well to remember that you are in the Underdark. This is not your domain and thus have no semblance of authority here. All you’re entitled to know is that Minthara, my lady and my leader, trusts me.”

Tav looks absolutely stunned to hear you speak so directly and curtly but it is Minthara who has the most shocking reaction. She calls to you drow, beckoning you closer because you’re too far from her as is and she may or may not be feeling the urge to ravish you in front of everyone. Minthara may not be one for displays of affection but her not correcting you makes it very clear that you are the single most important person to her and she values you above all else.

Tav be damned.

Girl I've been thinking and I think vampires are too in connection with their mate for their moods to affect them. I can imagine Romanians in a bad mood when their partner has their period or something.

Por cierto, te pareces un poco a Carmen Denali. ✨

AYYY GRACIAS MI AMOR😭😭💖💖💖

ANYWAYS

Listen. The way Stephenie Meyer wrote vampire mates in Twilight makes it impossible for these creatures to have any sort of emotional independence once they’ve bonded. Like, their mate breathes funny, and suddenly their whole mood shifts.

You are telling me a vampire—an immortal, ancient fossil predator—could be THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD and yet, the second their mate stubs their toe, they are instantly in fight mode?

Make it make sense.

I guess the bond is so intense that they don’t just care about their mate emotions—they physically feel them.

You got a papercut from opening an Shein package too fast? : Your vampire mate suddenly turns into a raging, miserable mess.

Stefan and Vladimir are grumbling in ancient Romanian because they can feel your discomfort and can’t do anything about it.

This is why vampires are bad at handling human mates. They don’t just feel bad for you—they physically feel like something is WRONG.

Their mates are having a bad day? So are they.

Their mates are irritated? They are too.

There is no escape. You could try to fake being fine, but let’s be real—they know.

Now, add in the fact that their mate is in literal pain every month for no reason.

They would be MISERABLE.

Stefan is next to you like 😠 because he can feel your discomfort and it’s ruining his day.And his eternity.

Vladimir would be rambling in dramatic ancient vampire: “This is a design flaw. Who allowed this?”

Expect unhinged Romanian rants about how human bodies are weak and stupid.

Human is mad = They are devastated.

Human is upset = They are upset.

You give them the silent treatment? They are physically in pain.

You can’t even be like “I need space” because they would be like “That is literally not possible.”

Human is happy, they’re ecstatic.

Human is sad, they are on the verge of existential crisis.

SO YES : Dating a vampire means your cramps are now their problem.

pre-outbreak!joel when you're on your period 🥺:

You don't even have to tell him when you're about to have your period or are on your period, he knows you well enough to sense when you're feeling off

When you're feeling extra moody and upset he always makes sure to be extra gentle and sweet with you, especially since you can get some bad anxiety beforehand

He always snuggles with you more than usual since you you get even more clingy at this time

When he hugs/squeezes you on your period he calls you his lil ketchup packet LMAO

He's always so attentive, around your period he always makes sure you're stocked up on some snacks, Advil, pads and tampons, and makes you tea without even needing to ask. Or he'll go get you both some take out from your favorite restaurant ❤️

Whenever you run out of pads or tampons he always offers to go grab some at the store, and when you first started dating he would ask which ones you wanted (I feel like he would it take it seriously and say if you need heavy or light flow pads and which brand you want, sometimes he might joke around and be like "what size pussy you got?" LMAOO) but after a while he knows which ones you prefer to buy and will restock on those ❤️

He always gives you massages when you're sore ;) he gives the best lower back massages, and titty massages ;) bc he's got those big ✨contractor ✨hands. He'll put on your favorite show or movie and give you a massage while you lean back against him, and he gives you lil neck and cheek kisses while he's at it.

He never complains when you tell him to go grab your heating pad 🥺 he just gives you a kiss and goes "aww my poor baby, ofc. Do you need anything else sweet girl?"

When you fall asleep together on the couch watching tv he doesn't wanna wake you up or make you walk since you have cramps, so he'll always carry you back to bed ❤️

On the rare occasion that you bleed through your underwear onto your bedsheets, the first time you were so embarrassed and almost cried but all he said was "there's no reason to be embarrassed baby, accidents happen" and he just starts taking the sheets off the bed to put them in the washer and tells you not to worry your pretty little head about it.

Sometimes it makes you emotional seeing how caring he is for you and he always blushes when you're like 🥺 "you're so sweet baby, thank you for taking care of me" and he goes "you don't even need to thank me baby, you know I don't like seeing you uncomfortable or in pain"

When you're in the mood for it, he'll fuck you on your period and be like "aww does my baby need me to fuck those cramps better?" lol, but again only when you're in the mood for it, otherwise he won't bother you ofc

Speaking of being in the mood, every time you're ovulating you want to CLIMB this man like damn tree, he ofc loves this lol

He always looks so irresistible to you when you're ovulating and you tell him so, got him gigglin and swingin his feet like a little schoolgirl lol

You can be a little whiny when you ask him to fuck you when you're ovulating since you're so damn horny all the time lol, but he ofc can never say no to his girl

You almost faint one time when you're ovulating and he comes back home after getting a haircut looking like a snaaaaack. You pounce on him right there at the doorway and fuck on the couch since your bedroom is too far

I owe him a smoke.” “Yeah I’ll send him out…” “and Eddie…I’m happy you two finally found your way to each other.” “Thanks Jim…I’m happy we did too.”

no stop with your fish i stopped talking to her who the hell even knows how long ago because she didn't respect my boundaries kept dehumanizing and belittling me tried to use me about her insecurities regardless and wanted me in weird hostile math environments with her cultists and that's all there is what you're doing is weird psychological torture at best and just straight up trafficking at worst we're not talking about this anymore

[hanzajesthanza]

Ok, i need to hear your opinion on this.

I had a short discussion with my friend about shipping. I am generally not a person who likes ships, because if some characters are written to be friends, i can hardly picture them in romantic or sexual relationship, another factor is if they ship actors who play roles and then draw explicit content with them, which is imo hella weird. However generally, ships are harmless and fun, so i don't care much about it. But there is one shipping trope which i strongly dislike, and it's gay Dandelion. Here's my argument:

Dandelion is very flamboyant, very feminine, artistic, he takes care of his looks, he is bit of a coward, he is weak but sassy. Even though these traits are often percived as gay, he is straight. The reason why this matter is bcz he represents me and gives me freedom. I am exactly like him, obbiously an artist, a hopeless romantic, feminine, flamboyant, yet straight. Often i am pressured by my queer and straight friends that i'm in closet, almost every single person from my school thinks i'm gay too, and this does bother me bcz most of them are trying to convince me that i'm gay simply bcz i'm bit eccentric.

That's why Dandelion means so much to me, he reminds me that i can absolutely be dandy and straight at the same time. I can be an artist, i can be a hopeless romantic or sassy queen while still loving women. So, Dandelion represents inner artists and more gentle side of straight men. He doesn't fight with swords, but he knows people, he is good with women, respects them (well, at least for medieval standards), and he fights with words. Turning him gay defeats the purpose of his character and turns him into another gay stereotype.

Just to be clear ofc, i am not bothered by Dandelion ships, ships are obviously not canon, and as long as it makes someone happy, i'm all for it. So don't take this as some rageful rant please 😅 So, what do you think? My friend kind of dissagrees.

Thx ��✨

i think it’s a fine opinion to have, especially because you express yourself so respectfully of others and aren’t hating on others or on the idea of being gay, you’re simply disagreeing with the interpretation of a character.

and, you know, canon is on your side—he is close with geralt to be sure, but canonically the intention is close friendship.

when noncanon ships get popular in the fandom, it can be annoying because some start acting like they have more “validity” (i.e. canon-ness) to their ship just because it’s popular, and yeah, while yeah i might joke with my friends and such that “i found this evidence! it’s canon! it’s real!” i think it’s important to keep a reality check on board.

tumblr is kind of like the home of shipping, so people on this site might be more sensitive about rejection of shipping as a concept, but to be honest…

i have become more criticial of shipping culture over the past few years, especially because some shipping has been relentlessly untagged, overtagged (into irrelevant tags), or forced on me, like people have approached me with ships/sexual context or discussion of characters, because i like that character so they assumed i liked the popular ship of them. this was upsetting to me at the time, and although i’ve cooled i still get a bit mad thinking about it, because it’s like they weren’t even open to seeing a different take on the character, my take on them, which was/is personal and important to me and something i wish to be understood about

so i can totally understand how you feel, and, i say this as someone who likes the book geralt/dandelion ship.

for that ship and me specifically, my interpretation of it has gone through so many stages, and where i’m at now with it is: i really like the canon characterization, dynamic, and interaction, and i don’t really want to change anything about it (or their relationships with women) to make it “more shippy,” i just enjoy their closer interactions. i guess i play in both camps of, i like them canonically as friends, and i also enjoy the romantic interpretation. my tag for them is “i want to be by your side” for a reason, i think this line can be interpreted as either (though of course shipping isn’t canon, i just mean, if you engage in shipping)

but i see why the romantic interpretation of geralt and dandelion can make people uncomfortable—not because for the reason of being gay, but because intimacy and truth isn’t represented well in male friendships, so geralt and dandelion being solid bros is great to see. though of course, gay representation is also lacking… so this argument can go both ways. worth it to mention that i think intimacy in male friendships being underrepresented is due to homophobia.

i also agree with what you say about jaskier being headcanoned as gay because he is artistic and not physically aggressive, i also find it off and frustrating when people make jokes about how jaskier is an incompetent and sassy gay because, idk, he plays an instrument?

… and don’t get me started on interjecting random stereotypical overly affectionate or “gay sassy phrases” into his dialogue when he doesn’t talk like that. this is really netflix’s fault to be honest, but i wish people would look at the books before they write something… that’s just me though and why i’m picky with fanfic/don’t often read it anymore.

i especially get annoyed when the interpretation directly contradicts the canon, like saying that jaskier is completely inept at any physical ability, because he does a lot of stuff, just not swordfighting—in a little sacrifice, he picks up and swings essi daven (who admittedly is light, but), in blood of elves he runs across rooftops, and in general is probably a good runner because he has to flee a lot from angry husbands

and more specifically, i get that it makes people uncomfortable that he is a philanderer and oftentimes objectifying, lecherous, cheater to women, but at the same time, after spending time with the witcher books i’ve come to realize and understand that that’s a huge part of his character (and for good reason), so i do kind of smirk when people imagine him as totally unattracted to women, like that is kind of a key feature of dandelion, like it or not.

(and on another note, i don’t like it much when his overt sexuality is censored, because it serves a thematic function to oppose him to geralt??? i laugh very hard at headcanons that jaskier is a virgin, that confuses me so much)

back to stereotyping him as gay for his looks and behavior—i’ll also provide a counterargument. as a gay person, i think we are sometimes just comfortable with making jokes about various stereotypes, so this can bleed over into headcanons.

for example, i like headcanoning milva as a lesbian, even though she doesn’t even show any attraction to women in canon, just because i enjoy her short hair and muscular physique—which is totally a stereotype of what a lesbian looks like, but it’s also not a … completely false one? there are plenty of short-haired muscular lesbians out there (to any reading: hiiiiiiii~) and i think the lgbt community as a whole sometimes enjoys reclaiming stereotypes that are based in just, common appearances, that aren’t entirely false, they’re just stereotypes because *not every* gay person looks like that. there are also a lot of skinny artistic gay (or in jaskier’s case IMO, bi) guys out there so it’s, i imagine, also something of a “representation” for them in a similar way it is for you, they like to see themselves in a character.

i think in general the disagreements that arise go back to disagreements on how important canon is to fandom, which is a personal decision for everyone… and even amongst the shipping it is a challenge to find the same or similar interpretations, because it can vary so much

4KOTA ✨142✨aka I have a BONE to pick with Nakaba

Oh boy, this chapter is a lot and I honestly want to make separate posts about several different things but I don't have enough patience for that so this is going to be a long one so buckle up.

This entire chapter is just all about setting up conflict for the chapters to come. We have this whole thing with the Drug of Yore, Nasiens, and Mertyl.

I also noticed that Phao overheard Diane and Tioreh's conversation so the rest of the kids are also gonna be involved in this whole ordeal one way or another.

So, the Drug of Yore. The source of all of this.

In the previous chapter, it's heavily implied that King is going to give Nasiens the Drug of Yore and for plot's sake I guessed that Mertyl will witness all of this unfold and that is exactly what happened.

Nasiens was upset about several things, mainly why is King giving this to him when Mertyl is sick and why did King give this to him now. Nasiens has been in the Fairy Realm for two years now and has been trying his hardest to find a cure for Percival then King comes in with the Drug of Yore which is essentially the medicine of all medicines.

Now, I don't think Nasiens has clued in that Mertyl is just a human in the Fairy Realm. Because Mertyl being human is the problem here, he's not sick, he's perfectly fine and healthy he just can't handle the Fairy Realm's atmosphere. That's why King didn't give the drug to Mertyl and since this is a rare drug he's probably not gonna risk it (even if that's his kid) and even if he did try to give it to Mertyl it's not gonna work.

Now, I looked back on the Grudge of Edinburg movie and I'm confident to say that the Drug of Yore is the same medicine that King used on Elizabeth, it's in the same bottle too. However, I also noticed something. In the movie, the bottle has a generous amount of elixir, but right now in the manga, it's almost empty, and the amount of elixir in the bottle is perfect for just a single dose. Which means King must have used this drug on someone before. This led me to a rabbit hole. I lost my good mind on this.

My guess is that King has given the Drug of Yore to Mertyl at least multiple times already but noticed that it's not working so he stuck with giving him the pills. This also explains why Mertyl has heard of the drug before when this is supposed to be an ancient secret medicine, he just forgot about it because it's been such a long time. This led to a shortage of the drug since King had been giving it to Mertyl this entire time. As said by King, it's a rare drug extracted from flowers on top of the Sacred Tree and these flowers only grow once every millennium (1k years) so this thing is not easily accessible, and it probably takes time to produce. Most likely the reason why it took 2 years for King to give the drug to Nasiens is because that is how long it took for King to acquire the perfect amount for at least a single dose that Nasiens can use. Besides, as per King's phrasing he's not even sure that it's gonna work on Percy.

On that note.

Will the Drug of Yore work on Percy?

In a sense yes it will but all it will do is bring OG Percival's soul back to the body, not our Percy. But it could also work because our Percy has more connection to the body than OG Percy. Maybe Nasiens could use the Drug of Yore as the main ingredient of the actual drug that he'll give to Percy to bring him back.

King messed up here but that doesn't make him a bad parent it actually makes him a realistic one

King's main fault here is not talking to Mertyl and apparently any of the kids about the whole adoption thing right away resulting in Mertyl's ever-growing insecurities, which realistically I really can't blame him for because it's a hard topic to discuss but really? It's been 18 years and you didn't say anything.

No parent is perfect and parenting is hard and Kiane is trying their best to be as good parents as they can for their 7 little munchkins. They mean well and obviously love their children a lot they just fumbled the bag on this one. I could also see Mertyl at fault here for not trusting his parent's love for him but again I can see why he felt the way that he did.

I don't think the reason King didn't give it to Nasiens right away is because he wanted to keep him there. That is a pretty selfish and petty reason and I know King, he's not that type of person, especially when the fate of the world hangs in the balance. I can actually see King not revealing that Nasiens is his kid ever and just being content to see his kid again and see the kind of person he grew up to be. To King, it's enough that he knows that his kid is alive and well. Nasiens will most likely realize this in the future, with the help of Lancelot (probably) (I love Lance I have to put him in everything lol this is his fam too yk)

We really haven't seen either King or Diane's side of the story, we don't know anything really and I still have enough trust in Nakaba that he'll give us a good reason for all of this. We'll probably see that next chapter (hopefully) cause with these types of dramas usually the parents' POV are the last ones shown.

They love Mertyl

Seeing both Sixtus and Tioreh's actions alone I can say that they love Mertyl to bits even if Tioreh knows that Mertyl is not his biological brother and I guess she's the first one to figure this out, she's upset at the idea that Mertyl won't be family anymore. Sixtus also shows great admiration and love for his big brother. And hey! even if Mertyl is human and not their actual kid he's still their big brother. They're acting like Mertyl's gonna be replaced or something when Nasiens is just an addition to their family and Mertyl is not going anywhere because he's forever part of their family.

This whole thing boils down to misunderstanding really, everyone has their own interpretation of the situation and people keep running off before anyone can explain anything (classic) I hope, boy I hope this will be resolved quickly and fast cause I hate seeing my babies suffer.

[mingos]

*crawls out of the ground like a mole, coughing up copious amounts of dirt*

so, hello.

    i try to keep things as vague & light as possible when referencing my homelife because, honestly, the last time i brought up anything tangentially related i was essentially told “you being upset is making other people upset and ruining the fun” so being anything other than ✨chaotic positivity gremlin wilder ✨ here makes me paranoid, hence why i’ll just disappear for weeks sometimes. 

but. 

i’ve clearly been gone for a bit, will probably be gone for a bit longer, and since i’ve been getting messages from folks wanting to check in on me i wanna give a more detailed update than usual. i feel guilty for not responding directly, but for reasons i can’t get detailed on other than “the idea of having a conversation with 99.9% of people right now is terrifying” (is this what being nonverbal is, chat?) with even the .1% being a super recent development, a queue post into the void is my solution.

i won’t get that detailed, but if light references to domestic abuse, addiction, or just family issues in general are hard subjects for you - nothing past this paragraph is too pertinent anyway, so don’t worry about having to stop. all you gotta know is that some Bad Stuff with family happened, but i’m safe & i’ll be back in maybe another week or something. 

anyways. i was living out of hotels for about 3 weeks. 

more like 16-17 days if you want to get technical because 4 of those days i had an actual scheduled hotel for my twin’s wedding at the end of august - but i’ve basically been bouncing around since august 21st. the night of the 20th, i had a horrific fight with my family member and, for the first time ever, i left. don’t know if would call it brave on my part - since we were leaving for a trip anyway, this is just the first time my suitcase was already packed.

right now, i’ve been at another relative’s house since the 11th. i tried to go back on the 1st because, even after years of this, i’m apparently way too easy to convince everything is going to be fine…  but by the 2nd i was out of there again. 

currently mulling over my next move here because, as much as the common sense answer is to stay away, anybody who’s unfortunate enough to deal with this knows how complicated it is. i’m scared for this person’s safety as much as i am for my own. no one else really checks on them, and i’ve already had to deal with several medical emergencies they’ve had like bad falls & breathing problems. i don’t like leaving them alone for long because the guilt at the thought of something bad happening to them and no one knowing for possibly days or weeks eats me up.

i logically know i’ll have to get past that eventually because i can’t let my life be dictated by this incredibly toxic cycle forever or i’ll never be happy, but now isn’t the time. they also have a dog who would similarly be put at risk if something happened to them, so it’s a lot for me to worry about.

but, having said all that, we’re currently in the apology stage or i guess the negotiation stage because, after the shit that happened this time, i’m making it perfectly clear i’m not stepping foot in that house until they do something. detox, treatment, rehab, disulfiram, soberlink, therapy – something. we’re kind of running out of things for them to try at this point, but at least they used to try. they haven’t really been doing that this past year and I’m the one suffering the most because of it.

so yeah, that’s where things are at the moment. i’m mentally not doing so hot - but I’ve got my dog, and being able to sleep in a bed i’m familiar with for a change and not a hotel (I spent so much money on hotels, guys i’m cooked) is nice relief while I wait out whatever the hell is happening. talking to them over the phone again pretty much drains any of the energy I’ve got back, but it sounds like they’re starting to "get it' so hopefully they’ll start to take this seriously again because I can really only take one more year of this (if even) until I just need to accept these things aren’t my responsibility and move on.

honestly, having a close-knit group of friends/support system for the first time in years has really reminded me of that and given me the confidence to take a lot of steps to live for myself for a change, and to think about prioritizing my own happiness for once, which wasn’t the place i was in at this time last year, or the year before that, or the year before that - so I just want to say thank you again to anyone whose ever helped talk me through something or really just been nice to me at all. this is why i always remember to be kind because it can genuinely do a lot for someone going through something, because i know it has for me.

anyway uhhhhh i hope you are all doing well, and with any luck i’ll be chilling on here by the start of october. can’t miss spooky month and this insufferable pink bird’s birthday, after all.

much love.

✨ 4, 5, 17 ✨

4. teacher/single parent au

Ponyboy's face blooms red and Dallas wants to sink into the floor. "I - sorry, he shouldn't have said that."

Chris huffs. "Why? It's the — Pops!" He complains as Dallas forces them both to stand up before this gets more embarrassing.

"Thanks, Mr. Curtis. I'll get his assignments done, and we'll be - be back next week," Dallas hastily grabs all of the materials from the teacher, almost frog marching Chris out of the classroom and down the hallway.

Ponyboy still remains in the classroom, overwhelmed at Chris' words. I think you and my Pops would be good together. He already likes you.

Kids.

5. one night stand and falling pregnant au

"No offense, but I'm 35 and you're, what, twenty?" Ponyboy says holding up a hand, feeling so stupid, "I didn't really want anything from you 'cept a knot. I didn't — I wasn't looking to have a kid."

Across from him, Dallas looks at him with a look too intense, too clearly wanting for Ponyboy. There's something in it he's very sure that is hungry for him, hungry for this situation, and he does his best to shut it down with, "I ain't gonna say no to havin' one. But if you don't wanna be involved, it's up to you. I wasn't gonna press for nothing, just wanted you to know."

"Why wouldn't I wanna be involved?" The phrase is snapped out, impatient and passionate and Ponyboy doesn't know how to even feel about that, how much he wants it and how young he is. "It's our kid!"

17. meeting at a party whilst drunk au

Dallas ain't a drinker by nature. The only reason he's drinking now is cause he can't get the thought of the Curtises, dead, out of his brain. He's just allowing the drinks to get pushed to him, allowing himself to swallow down whatever's on the table.

He's not sure how he ends up in a room, later with a guy with auburn hair and tattoos who's kissing him so good that he can hardly even think about anything else. He's not sure how the guy ends up getting his jeans off and giving him head — a thing he doesn't even like most of the time, but he does know that when he grunts out, I knot everytime the guy's eyes go big in his face, hungry.

He also knows that when the guy goes, Can I ride you, baby? he says Yeah.

Something about the guy is just — maybe it's the omega scent all over him, maybe it's the wild auburn hair and the sharp teeth, maybe it's that he calls him baby and honey while he rides him, maybe it's cause he feels good with Dallas cock inside of him, maybe it's cause he's soft when Dallas gets his arms around him.

Whatever the case, Dallas feels okay being drunk with the guy. He feels good to roll him over, pin him by the hair to the bed and fuck him until they're both satisfied.

When he wakes up in the morning, his stomach upset, it feels awful to pull his still engorged knot out of the guy. Better he does it though, throwing up in the toilet in a way he never has before, shame and confusion washing through him.

Drinking was so fucking stupid. He'd get killed like this.

He doesn't expect a hand to run through his hair in the morning light or for the guy's gentle voice to say, "You're safe with me. Don't worry."

Dallas looks at him, in the morning light and with a jolt realizes he'd just fucked the missing eldest son of the Curtises, the one who technically was Jennifer's but not Darrel's.

Ponyboy. Shit, he was probably back in town for the funeral. Shit. Shit.

I am going to hazard a guess and predict that most queer viewers are going to side with Crowley in the divorce? The subtext here is usually that Crowley is a queer person who is comfortable in their identity while Aziraphale still doesn't let go of the church and internalized homophobia. And then asking Crowley to try to conform in a way that Crowley has never been comfortable with, implying that in order for this relationship to work you need to be something that you're not (especially potent bc Crowley in particular is explicitly nonbinary/ gender fluid)... its almost violating. That should clearly be asking too much of him and it only hurts worse to realize that Aziraphale doesn't realize that and doesn't truly accept Crowley as he is. Which is a fundamentally Queer Experience Thing.

okay again full disclosure i am not queer, so im only going to answer this to the best of my ability besties, if i don't write things right or deliberately misunderstand a nuance in this, please know im doing my best and anything that is upsetting or offensive please tell me, i am so not qualified to answer this... but nonnie has asked so i shall give it a go!!!✨💓 (cut bc length)

genuine question here: wouldn't, arguably, in this whole choosing sides thing, crowley vs aziraphale, be exactly what divides the queer community? those that could sympathise with aziraphale and his allegory vs those that could sympathise with crowley? this is a genuine question bc i would have thought depending on your (general you) guys' (nb) variety of experiences, good and bad, there are those that could see either side or both?

as for trying to make crowley conform - i'm not going to argue this per se, bc i realise that this must be a very painful concept or experience to go through, and i Will Not invalidate that. but on the other side of the argument, whilst i see and agree that this is how aziraphale could be interpreted generally in this argument, i didn't see it this way at all. not when taking into account aziraphale's whole demeanour in s2.

my understanding is that, as far as the canon has showed us, aziraphale knows very little about the true circumstances of crowley's fall (only that aziraphale warned him against asking questions), and even less about crowley's inner feelings on the matter. whenever aziraphale mentions it, or crowley having been an angel, crowley understandably responds aggressively and angry and obviously that it's still painful.

i don't think it's too far beyond reason for aziraphale to think that crowley - a good demon - might want to take a chance to have the wrong righted (as he sees it), to receive what aziraphale would consider a boon, an apology. whilst he's not in hell's clutches, crowley would have the chance to be free of hell completely. furthermore, it's a chance for them to be together, as friends or otherwise (obvs the metatron conversation is before crowley's confession), and to build the world they want - fair and honest and kind - together. because it's not as if crowley doesn't want that, but he just won't go anywhere near being an angel in order to do it - borne of fear yes but also resentment and bitterness... possibly even arrogance.

aziraphale does lord his angelic status over crowley especially in s1, and does hold a very black and white view over angels = good, demons = bad, but for the most part i think he has started to explore the possibility of grey more in s2. he starts to ease back on crowley and concentrate on making him feel wanted and loved (however that might look on Their Side), but still leaving him agency.

ive talked about aziraphale putting him on a pedestal and that is true, but the person on that pedestal, I don't think, is angel crowley - i don't think it's that simple. i think it's good demon crowley. and that good demon crowley would want to change the world, right?? well, he's got to be an angel to do it - even better!!!

so i didn't necessarily see it as aziraphale wanting to change crowley at all, but instead him thinking that based on what crowley has told him, of course crowley would want this!!! he deserves to be forgiven and restored, he's earnt it and he's a good person!!! but aziraphale unfortunately reneges on his emerging attempts to give crowley that agency, and instead decides for him. i don't think it was necessarily out of wanting to change crowley, but instead him not knowing the full story and therefore choosing a resolution for crowley out of love and respect... but one that crowley doesn't want.

these boys REFUSE to communicate and 👏 it 👏 shows👏✨

For JPG or PH: What's the best and the worst part of working on the EPF

I say this because well... we all have characteristics that we like and don't like being here at the agency

Best part…I guess I can say that would be getting to work at your own pace for most missions…getting to help out others and such… testing out gadgets sometimes within reason

Worst part- uhhh….Herbert is one of em…. Having those few stubborn penguins every once in a while who just refuse every attempt of help….even if they’re about to plummet off say a cliff- *grunt* then there’s dealing with specific puffles in their training room… I can handle my own puffle but man are these guys stubborn- hopefully we find another variant that’s easier to handle….

Lastly I guess I could say being stuck with some agents who just…either don’t know what their doing half the time or are so stubborn they won’t listen to direct orders from any of the higher ups- and that just puts me on edge since I never wanna see the director mad…

Hmmm…best part, puffles✨ anything to do with em aside from cleaning after them *laughs* but can’t help that part much

Worst part…seeing them fellas get hurt from things even by accident ….some agents really mishandle these fellas sometimes and it’s upsetting to watch…you can show and explain everything about the puffle to em and they still manage to mess it up- with Rookie it’s fine since like I’m sure he doesn’t mean it… but some penguins just don’t care- thankfully that doesn’t happen too often….

Doing a rewatch of Season 6 and my watch buddy and I just finished episode 3 (p.s. I'm sorry I know you don't like talking about this ep).

I had completely forgotten about this scene - it's the part where they're all getting lunch and the cafeteria lady gives Kai extra because, and I quote, he's "her favorite".

I just, ... Kai just looked so uncomfortable in that moment and I was wondering what you thought about that scene and Nya's comment to Kai right after about she said Kai always wanted, "special treatment".

IDK maybe it's nothing and I'm just over reacting but with how everything is in this season ... it kinda leaves me wondering.

Oof Watching Skybound?.. Sorry there yep every time you watch you notice something new.

I’m Currently working on a Video essay to explain why Skybound is generally uncomfortable. Or more specifically the underlying themes

This topic is too much sometimes but I really think someone needs to say it. I always wanted to know where the feeling came from and wish someone had told me. So this video is for you anon👍

OLI is here to validate your Skybound discomfort Yep that scene is on my list

It’s not much mind you but it adds to the discomfort. Flirting with an inmate, kinda weird. Not high on the list but it’s definitely there.

I’ll put the list out here now because I want to know if I missed anything.

This Is JUST the list take It with a grain of salt I have a lot to say about most of these but this isn’t any of my evidence and reasoning.

What the fuck✨

Nadakhan forcing a kiss on Nya

The mechanic scene

Nadakhan’s Predatory behavior

Huh…?

(Not as serious)

The amount of Touching where the person is visibly uncomfortable expression change leaning away (mostly Nadakhan, but not all)

The Suggestive dialogue

The interviewer leaning way too close to Nya “not a chance really” she’s visibly uncomfortable and leans away

(Some may be upset for me bringing it up sry)

Jay found beat up in Nadakhan’s quarters is not without at least mild implications.

(Unintended maybe? but they had a forced kiss this season so idk what tf S6 writers were on.)

Kai being dragged by zombie women?, they weren’t attacking him they just… touching?

Minor but adds

(Worth the mention)

the settings

Nadakhan’s quarters for a candle lit dinner

Being in a prison and pirate ship with what prisoners and pirates are known for….

The meat bit

Prison lady hitting on Kai

policeman forced to crowd surf wanting to be put down.

Definitely more of a stretch but add to the feeling.

So…

✨✨Skybound ✨✨
