Jared Lore round 2

So after the success of my first "choose one of my favourite bits of Jared Lore" poll, I've been wanting to do a follow-up for a while since the first was such fun :) So here is round 2. I will add context/links behind a cut below the poll xxx

When Jared and Jensen first met at their audition one of the very first things Jared ever said to Jensen was "how'd you get your eyes so big?" - he was asking because he had slightly squinty eyes and had been having issues with them swelling up on Gilmore Girls and he saw Jensen's big eyes and just had to ask I guess <3 Video

A picture Jared tweeted when he and Gen were running the Austin Marathon, showing their running sweaters with their marathon number bibs - and also in frame on a seat below were syringes, a bottle of pills, and a rabbit vibrator. He quickly deleted and reposted a cropped version lol. Post showing the picture pre-repost

When Jared was around 8 years old he was at Disneyworld with his family - grandad (peepaw) and brother - and he had a tendency to wander off as a kid (and now lol). He wandered off and when he couldn't find his family he just got on the monorail to Epcot and spent the whole day there on his own and then came back to his poor grandad thinking he'd lost him. Video

Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney talked about when they played basketball in LA at the same time as Jared being intimidated by him - meanwhile he looked like this:

Post 1, Post 2

5. Technically this is more Gen lore than Jared lore but I wanted it here and it's my poll I make the rules lol. Gen posted a video through TOWWN about ways to save water for the environment - in the style of an old French black and white movie - featuring her and Jared taking a tandem shower to save water with many silly sexual innuendos. 10/10 very silly and delightful. Video

6. Drunk J2 after a con, Jensen randomly tells Jared to slap him in the face, Jared does, so hard that he apparently knocked out half of one of Jensen's teeth. Gifset (also lil fic for the RPF inclined lol)

7. Pretty self explanatory one, he thinks he might have sung the Saved by the Bell themetune, the karaoke bar was called Dimples and he used a fake ID to get in. Gifset

8. The pilot for the MacGyver spinoff "Young MacGyver" that Jared filmed in 2003. Clay MacGyver, Angus MacGyver's nephew, follows in his uncle's footsteps and joins the Phoenix Foundation. Also origin of this gif:

You can watch the whole episode here.

9. A show Stephen Amell tried to pitch and made a pilot of - described on IMDB simply as "A couple of dudes, being dudes - in wine country." Jared was in the pilot. Featuring Jared being a wine nerd in his own wine cellar with for some reason his People's Choice Awards (I think) on the table in front of him. Least attracted to him I've ever been 10/10. Also source of Amelecki on a boat - one of my favourite events.

Trailer here.

10. When Jared first auditioned for Sam Kripkie wasn't 100% sold, and wasn't sure if he was "smart" enough to play Sam. Jared's manager called him and basically told him that Jared was super smart - National Merit Scholar, National Honours Society, Nation Forensics League Winner, missed on question in math on the SATs - score of around 1490 (at the time that would have been 97-99th percentile score).

HEAR ME OUT

ronin with a transmasc partner who is basically his little sidekick man. Goes together with him perfectly, both are bastard men who play games. He’s also super sappy (kinda in a luca way lmao) with ronin but HE MATCHES HIS FREAK (the freak is The Horrors™️)

THANK UOU HDHDHDHDG -mothgutzz

The Devil's Hyper Man

Ronin x transmasc!reader

ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ﮩ෴ﮩ__

You and Ronin have always been a chaotic duo, even before you entered a romantic relationship. The chaos he brought into you life was something you could give back to him with a similar energy. Every time he shared his new kill you would react with a bunch of emotes and send a chaotic message like 'Yes bro you've got'em!"

Whenever you were in chat with the other server members Angel would refer to you as "a little less bad shit crazy Ronin" and you wore that title like a batch of honour.

If one of you was somewhere the other followed, it was mostly you walking around Ronin like a good ol' dog. It escalated when the two of you started dating. Ronin is at work? You're there too just to sit in the workshop and pass him some tools. You're in voice call? He joins and keeps your attention on him. Sometimes the server found it annoying, but neither of you gave a damn about that. You just wanted each others company.

You followed Ronin even for his kills, and you would play mind games with the victims, you were almost as fucked up as your boyfriend after all. And how would Ronin react for your little games with his victims? Well, in his original way. "Oh, I'm so fucking proud to have you as my boyfriend." "You really went all out babe, never thought you had it in you, heh." Yeah, he's a proud boyfriend and praises you for fucking with people's minds.

Whenever you may experience a bad dysphoria day Ronin is there for you, he knows how it feels so it's only natural for him to show his support. He will reassure you about how handsome you are, and how perfect your grotesqueness is. "If you want we can destroy something, just say the word and my crowbar is ready." He whispers while the two of you lay on the floor and he rubs the back of your hand.

Ronin isn't a person to show a lot of emotions, but when the two of you have a dysphoric day at the same time, he will cuddle up with you and both of you will whisper reassuring things to each other.

You're definitely a sappy lover, you brag about Ronin on the server, talk mostly to him, suck up to him like you're glued to him. You will kiss him and cuddle up to him a lot. And he will enjoy the contact because he's just so touch starved.

At this point you two could rival with Luca and Feli for the title of the most disgustingly sickly sappy relationship on the server, you and Luca especially take that fight very seriously. "No, Feli is the bets partner dude. She's just so pretty and great, You and Ronin don't compare to us." "Nah, Ronin and I are so much better, at least we didn't need help to break our talking stage." You and Luca argue in the vc while Feli tries to fight the embarrassment and Ronin is amused by this situation.

Some scenarios <3

You were sitting on the cold ground in the workshop Ronin works in. You were curled up in his hoodie. Some times you would move to give him a tool. You enjoyed this time with him, he was working and humming a song while you were scrolling through your phone or sometimes demand kisses in exchange for a tool.

"You're just so eager for my touch, aren't you?" He titled his head to the side and chuckled. Ronin crouched and caught your lips in a soft and quick kiss. "Happy?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, drop that shit-grin you loser." You replied and passed him the tool.

ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ﮩ෴ﮩ__

You were standing in the shadows of purgetory, Ronin just killed a guy. His whole hands were covered in blood, which was splattered everywhere. He turned to look at you and there was that wicked glint in his eye.

"Do you like the view darlin'?" He asked and approached you.

"Yeah, you're amazing when you end those fuckers." You moved your thumb along his cheek to wipe the blood from there.

"Aw, and you're such a good supporter baby." He kissed you on the forehead. "Let's get the fuck outta here." You took his hand and the two of you left the scene.

ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨��ﮩﮩ٨ﮩ෴ﮩ__

Ronin looked at you as you were walking alongside him and yapping about your day, he smirked. You were just so talkative, your mouth never shut up, but he liked it. It was never quiet with you around and he sometimes had to be more creative with his snarky remarks if he wanted to be beat you at your own game.

"Are you even listening to me?" You asked and he shrugged.

"Yeah, it's hard not to listen when you're talking all the time." He smirked.

"Wow Ronin, you're so nice." You rolled you eyes and continued talking like nothing happened.

ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ﮩ෴ﮩ__

Hope you liked this my friends ;p

See ya folks

It's a goddamn blaze in the dark, and you started it [Bjorn x fem! Reader] [18+] [2 of?]

Bjorn can't help but feel fascinated by her. Can't help but watch her, but want her.

The ex boyfriend has to go.

A/N: been a minute since I've posted for this one gang! But HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO @spikedfearn EHEHEHE hbd bestie hope this is what you had in mind for an update 🤭 we got some unhinged Bjorn this chapter gang! Also some of that tagged incest with kaybjorn a h h reader is not super in this chapter, it's a lot of Bjorn perspective mostly!

Warnings: manipulation, cults, obsession, murder, violence, pregnancy mentions, incest (Kaybjorn), sex, coercion, basically everything that happens in Midsommar my dudes

PREVIOUS

NEXT

You move your food around a lot on your plate when you're hungry.

Bjorn can't help but watch from across the table. Six people away from you.

He'd sacrifice them to the Gods in a heartbeat if it meant he got to be sitting across from you, or beside you.

The Gods wouldn't smite him, he's sure. For you and he were destined, fated. He'd known it from the second Tyler had sent those pictures, had filled him in on your life, what you were like.

He hadn't spoken more than a couple of words to you, had only touched you during that one meeting, and he knows he's going to take you for a wife.

The only person he's ever considered other than you is his cousin Kay.

Sweet Kay with her beautiful face, her wonderful laugh, the child growing in her belly that is undoubtedly his.

He'd been honoured, of course, when he and his cousin had been chosen for the ritual, the conceiving of a prophet. Once Kay has given birth to their newest prophet, their child, she will receive the veil, will live her new life of celibacy.

But oh, Kay had looked radiant that night, in her embroidered white dress, flowers in her curly hair, her lips and cheeks stained with rouge.

She'd looked even more radiant by candlelight, when he'd torn her dress from her like a man possessed, when he'd damn near folded her in half and thrusted into her so hard the makeshift bed had damn near broke beneath them.

He still thought about her sweet sighs, her mouth parted in pleasure, her legs locked tight around him to keep him inside of her, to keep his seed deep inside.

He wonders if you make those same sounds, if you part your lips when you're fucked. Do you like to be on top? Below? Taken from behind?

He doesn't think he'd care much, so long as he got to have you.

You laugh at something Tyler says, nothing but friendship to the sound. He worries little about your closeness to Tyler. His cousin is devoted to Rain, will be wedded to her in a week's time.

He does, however, worry about your ex boyfriend.

Bjorn's fingers tighten around his fork, stabbing the venison on his plate with vitriol, his blood boiling in his veins.

The man hungers for you, everyone can see that.

But would he cherish you? Would he care for you? Would he hold you?

Bjorn doubts it.

True, he lusts for you, more than he's ever lusted for anyone. But he'd worship you, first. If you so demanded of him, he'd fall at your feet and devote himself, would pray, bring offerings, promise his soul-

Whatever it took, Bjorn was willing to give it.

Your ex boyfriend has to go, though.

He doesn't think you'll be too upset.

This morning, he'd seen you both. You with your pajama shorts shoved down your legs and your ex sloppily thrusting in and out of you.

Bjorn hadn't been able to see your cunt from his spot, but he had spied the disappointed look on your face, the shame. You felt ashamed of yourself for whatever reason.

Bjorn would make sure you had nothing but pleasure on your face when he fucked you. Shame did not belong in the bedroom, he'd make sure you knew that.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"Do you love her?" Kay asks him later that day, when his mouth is busy at work between her thighs.

"Hm?" He hums, lost in the taste of her, the tanginess on his tongue that he swears could drive him mad with want.

"Tyler's friend, do you love her?" Kay asks, before sighing oh so sweetly as he slides two fingers inside of her with ease. "Oh, oh-"

"Shh, not so loud," he reminds her in a gentle whisper. Kay wasn't supposed to be touched, now. Wasn't supposed to be made love to now that she is pregnant.

Bjorn, while devoted to their religion, still enjoys bending the rules from time to time.

He's not fucked her since the night they conceived their child. But he's had her in other ways that aren't strictly forbidden.

It's not his fault that she looks so radiant these days, that he sees her squirming with frustration whenever he does something she finds arousing. And, well, she's the mother of his child. He has to help her, by any means necessary.

Her favourite way lately seems to be by him using his tongue, or his fingers.

"I'm going to marry her, Kay," he whispers against her clit, eyes flickering up to her face. It's contorted in pleasure, but her eyes remain locked on him.

There is no jealousy. Sad resignation, maybe, but above all, she looks happy for him.

"Good," Kay whispers, grinding herself against his face. Bjorn takes the hint and dives back in, spelling his name out on her clit as he crooks his fingers inside of her. Kay's mouth parts in a wordless cry, legs trembling around his head as her orgasm washes over her. He grins against her, resulting in Kay tugging sharply on his hair. "Don't be mean," she chides, chest heaving.

He'd apologise, but he's not sorry.

Bjorn shifts to lay beside her, wiping her release from his face and cleaning off his fingers, still savouring the tang of her on his tongue.

He wonders how you taste, how you look in the throes of passion.

He can't wait to find out.

"I'm worried," Kay admits to him, eyes glued to the mural on the ceiling of his commune bedroom. "About the baby. I know its... I know it's blessed, that it's lucky to become a prophet. But I just..."

He tangles their fingers together, shifting to lay on his side, his other hand coming up to gently run back and forth over her bump. "Everythin' will be fine, alright?" he reassures her, pressing a comforting kiss to her temple. "Promise."

Kay nods, still a touch uneasy as her hand joins his on her stomach. "Do you think she'll love the baby? Your chosen?"

Bjorn smiles at the mere thought of you, and he nods after a beat. "Might be a bit... difficult, at first. Some of the stuff we do isn't considered normal out there," he reminds Kay, who frowns a little at the reminder. "But give her time, alright? When she sees how loved the baby is, how much it means to all of us... She'll come around, I'm sure."

"How?" Kay asks, furrowing her brow.

Bjorn merely smiles at his cousin, pressing another kiss to her temple. "Cuz I'll make her, alright? She'll understand because I'll make sure she does."

You have to understand. He's chosen you for a reason, after all, beyond your pretty face. That's merely secondary to him.

Everything Tyler has told him about you, everything he's seen of you so far...

Yes, he's sure he can make you understand.

He has to.

I have SO many thoughts about everything but my brain is mush… so speedrun time !

——Spoke——

omg just zam picking him over minute cause he wasn’t thinking about skill but rather trust and reliability which is wild and than him being bewildered by spoke going crazy omg love them and the s2 ref cause they were so silly

the way they track the other and oddly understand what the other is saying, it’s super simplified with them and limited words which is usually spot on plus them being nice to the other and oh it’s so hard for both of them, zam gritting his teeth when he’s brought up but infront of him he was genuine and spoke barely could match it without losing it and zam just laughed at him struggling to be nice- oh spoke and zam are both insane for that, zam who can match his insanity even if it’s bitter and spoke matching his niceness only to throw up a bit

Like them addressing the other in this day of s6!?!?! crazy crazy CRAZY!!!!! also win for me! Omfg I will not be shutting up about spokes immediate chaos and zam addressing while going along but never dwelling on it omg omg omg them

——Mapic——

him asking zam to trust him, which where did the word trust come from- that and especially in the scenario when zam gave up all hope for escaping flame, like it was pure silence and focus and zam not thinking twice as he listened to mapics instructions which ultimately got him out alive

the potential thoughts in mapics head of him having nothing to save minute so he had to ask zam who also had nothing but zam still tried and was going to die for it, man mapic cares so fkn much and the way everyone is always so ticked zams with the empire but really they say that cause of mapic and holy not to forget about mane not thinking he could take mapic and zam both in a 1v2 cause they actually play as a team helping the other tremendously ugh I love team fights

also zam getting told by bacon and now kab that mapic cares for him so much it’s insane and zam still struggling to accept that omfg, this guy trusts mapic so much but can’t see that mapic trusts him insanely high like zams ready to die for him and in Ls dying for someone is a higher honour of trust and loyalty than protecting > helping > neutral not killing

if mapic ever addresses zams existence in lore to anyone in game omg I would go insane cause how do you explain his trust to a guy who isn’t teamed or allied or doesn’t even have the same morals and to top it off lent him hearts and asked him to save your teammate multiple times DUDE

——Kab——

her having the hardest mental battle and breaking from care and everyone around her being mean except zam and zam never gave up to hate her and now she has to accept him being kind to her omg

such a sad rabbit bonking her head against a tree and the fact she willingly was bait and lived twice and lended 5 hearts omfg her heartbeat was probably through the roof

oh and her staying teamed with wemmbu to keep him out of the mane situation, totally forgot about that

————ok that’s all rn !————

Warnings: ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️, swearing

Notes: Dude Mutant Mayhem was so fucking good, so in order to honour the release of it here is some dumb thoughts I've been thinking of ever since I saw it. A second part may potentially be out soon but looking from a more angst perspective

⛥ Leo is 100% a fanfic reader and most likely writes stories about him and April. I think that it's all started because he found Donnie reading some about his favourite anime characters and got curious and asked him about it, to which Donnie went on for ages about fanfiction in general, to different tropes, clichés etc!

⛥Donnie and Mikey definitely seem like the type of kids who ended up on the wrong side of the internet as very young kids and found the most goriest shit ever

⛥When Raph was a little kid he found a plushie when him and his brothers were exploring the sewer. He deemed it cute but because his brothers were all teasing him over it he left it and then went out on his own to find it and brought it back to the lair. He tried to hide it and then cuddle it when he was feeling sad but one day Splinter found it and brought it up to him in front of the others, making him embarrassed. However, to this day it is still hidden somewhere underneath the covers.

⛥The guys secretly watched some super gory horrors one time after splinter said not to and they all freaked themselves out over it but they tried to hide it from splinter. When Splinter eventually did find out, he did things to specifically scare each turtle in order to teach them a lesson (which he heavily enjoyed doing). They'd always discuss the scenarios the final girl was put through and what they would do in that situation at night and then the whole thing about "freaky" stuff happening to them would be brought up...it took them a very long time to realise that it was just Splinter fucking with them.

⛥They all watched vines and quote them from day to day

⛥Leo loves to collect plant and flowers but when he brings them down to the lair they die within a week and he has definitely cried over at least half of them.

⛥Mikey is definitely the type of person to eat the world's nastiest food combos and enjoy it

⛥Mikey and Raph have constant bets over who can do the dumbest shit

⛥Leo always felt quite isolated from the group at times and it always made him feel self conscious and more different from the others.

⛥I think that Mikey constantly worries about his brothers and Splinter - especially Leo.

⛥Mikey, Donnie and Raph are the type of kid to lick the backs of magic stars and then stick two together in order to eat them

⛥ Leo is terrible with directions

⛥ Donnie and Mikey believe in the 'if you don't repost this video in (however long) you will die/get bad luck

⛥ They are all heavily invested in the yellow car game and Leo is always the one to get punched the most (Mikey and Raph are very competitive)

[your-local-crypt1d]

followed you simply for empires ctommy. I don’t even like empires but ctommy is my everything,,, any spare bits rattling around in that brain of yours

I have so many THOUGHTS about this dude you have no idea. Also, I do recommend watching Empires not because it's super similar to the dsmp but because it has its own disc war and Jimmy Solidarity is like Tommy but in a different font. Anyway,

My favourite idea I've had so far is cTommy punching transphobes in the face. Unlike the smp where it's like maybe 40-odd people trapped in a cursed land they cannot leave, Empires has citizens, it had loads of people. So like there's bound to be one person in the Grimlands who doesn't like their Count being a trans man. Tommy is having none of that though, he will clobber anyone who talks bad about fWhip while saying something badass like; "fWhip is twice the man you'll ever be"

Am I projecting heavily on that one? Yes.

Similarly, if you ever give anyone shit for Tommy's or anyone else's disability he will beat you with his prosthetic arm. I think on the smp, being disabled is a very common thing (hard of hearing/deaf people, amputees, nerve damage, blindness, etc) thanks to the constant wars, explosions and violence. I headcanon Tubbo to be almost entirely blind because of his execution, so Tommy will shout at you if you are rude to a blind person. He also absolutely knows sign language, which I've been calling MSL (minecraft sign language), so fWhip who is absolutely HoH thanks to being a demolitionist has someone he can communicate with if he doesn't have his hearing aid, and same with anyone else who's deaf/HoH.

In a similar vein to Tommy transphobe-puncher Innit, Tommy doesn't really give a shit about how he presents his gender. If you ask he will say he's a BIG MAN who uses he/him pronouns only, but he's also happy to walk around wearing a skirt (as long as it's a practical one he can fight in). He makes flower crowns for his friends. He can braid hair and has long-ish hair of his own. Hell, I'd say he could even do some basic makeup! Just stereotypically "feminine" things, because he just Does Not Care™. The most trans-allegory cishet man ever.

Tommy seems like the type to not care if he's asked to wear something formal (I.e. the L'manberg uniform) as long as he can still fight in it, Tommy likes to be prepared at all times. He keeps like three concealed weapons on him at all times. People have mentioned kinda worriedly to fWhip that his kid has a "perfect soldier stance", that he more marches wear he walks than actual walking, etc. It's concerning to see a kid no older than 16 walking around like a grizzled war veteran (which he is). Also, when asked to greet another Emperor respectfully, Tommy interprets that as a salute, perfect posture, etc with "It's an honour to meet you, ma'am/sir!" Because that's the only way he knows how to "show respect".

Idk I just want to explore the child soldier side of cTommy more.

Also just Tommy who's literally been homeless before being utterly shocked at the lavish lifestyle royalty/nobility lead. He sees all the food laid out in the dining hall to feed fWhip and his whole staff and is just shocked, there's never been that much food to go around on his whole server and there it all is just sitting there, AND fWhip tells him there's more if he doesn't like any of it!

Tommy really is just Sophia the first in this au lol

[johaerys-writes]

i’d be super curious to hear your thoughts of the characterisation of achilles in the iliad! because while he is considered honourable and respected by the standards of the culture, surely by modern day standards he wouldn’t be so much? which is why i think that MM did such a great job, because she basically modernised him so that we would see him in the same ways that the greeks did re: his nobility versus his arrogance, but i thought the general consensus on achilles is that he’s an ancient greek hero which equals Not A Good Guy by our standards (but my formal education in classics is limited, i mostly partake as a hobby, so i’m always looking to expand my understandings and opinions and you’re obviously a very intelligent and considered person)

So I think the most important thing anyone needs to do when engaging with ancient greek works (and indeed any sort of work, especially those created millennia ago) is to keep an open mind. Importing modern moral judgement is anachronistic when it comes to the Iliad; hubris, as we understand it now, simply does not exist in the Iliad, there are no Good Guys vs Bad Guys, there are no Heroes or Villains. Those notions came much later and are very much a Christian thing. A hero in the Homeric world has no moral implication; he is simply a warrior. A dude that does things, and not necessarily admirable things. So it would be pointless to try to view Achilles or Hector or Agamemnon (or even the gods in the Iliad who do some pretty fucked up shit) as good or bad guys, because such a thing is irrelevant in the Iliad.

That being said, I feel like Achilles is portrayed generally positively both in the Iliad and also in other ancient Greek works. He is noble, that is, he is of noble/divine lineage, he is well-spoken, well-educated, generally reasonable and polite with pretty much everyone, except for Agamemnon in that opening scene in the Iliad (who was a dick to him as well). He is also honourable and with a very rigid moral code: in the Iliad it is stated many times that he prefers to ransom back captives instead of kill them, and he even lets the body of one of the Trojans he slew be burned with his armour on as a sign of respect, even though it is a thing of great importance in the Iliad to claim the armour of the people one slew. He is not greedy and doesn't flaunt his wealth, he is generous with his Myrmidons and is generally rather well-liked. Until Patroclus is killed and he goes on his rampage, he is a pretty chill dude; and then after Hector is killed, he organises the funeral games for Patroclus where he is shown to be very diplomatic and reasonable, even with Agamemnon; and then when Priam goes to ask him for Hector's body back, Achilles treats him with respect and the two men bond over their grief. So like, idk about you but those don't seem like the actions of someone crazed or extremely arrogant or bad, even by modern standards.

I think what is most telling about how a character like Achilles was perceived in the culture that created him, is that his portrayal in later ancient greek works, mainly the theatrical and philosophical works of around the 5th cent BC, is generally positive. Some playwrights depicted him as a bit of a hothead or a little boisterous and full of himself, but that isn't really framed as a bad thing. Achilles in those works is a famous and powerful hero who knows how good he is and how much the army needs him, but he isn't needlessly flashy, he always keeps his word, he is brave and heroic even by modern standards: in Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis, Achilles goes to great lengths to protect Clytemnestra and Iphigenia from the mob, and it is pointed out many times how averse he is to trickery and lies and that Chiron brought him up to be honourable, steadfast, to keep true to his values and to stay away from wickedness (which is what Agamemnon did, essentially). So I think it's really clear that for the ancient Greeks Achilles has many admirable traits.

You mentioned MM and how she modernised Achilles and made him sympathetic to a modern reader's eyes, and I simply don't think that's true. I think MM's portrayal of Achilles is pretty close both to the Iliad and how other ancient Greeks imagined him. She simply took away all those layers of nonsense that had been piled on top of him through centuries of literary criticism that took all the later Roman works that depicted him as a sadistic monster a little too seriously or only focused on how awful he was compared to Noble Hector (no hate on Hector but those classicists really need to find a new blorbo *smh*)

I also think that MM went a little too hard on the arrogance/pride thing and on his obsession with glory without preparing the ground for it enough, but that's just my personal opinion. Achilles is very concerned with his glory in the Iliad as well, but we have to keep in mind his position here: Achilles gave up everything for that glory. He knew about the prophecy and knew that he would die in Troy, and made the choice to fight in the war because glory is just that important within the context of the Iliad. I think that many of the heroes we see in the Iliad would have chosen the same, if given a dilemma like that. So Achilles gave up the life he could have had, his kingdom, his family, just for his name to live on through the ages, and then Agamemnon royally fucked that up by disrespecting and insulting him publicly in the vilest of ways. Achilles then made up his mind to abstain from the war and to go back to Phthia and thus giving up his claim to glory because he was so over the war, and he probably would have done that had Patroclus not died. And then there was nothing else for him to do other than to die as well.

So like.... idk. His actions make sense to me. He is a passionate character who is swept away by his emotions, he has flaws, he isn't perfect (if such a thing even exists) but I think he's all the more compelling for it.

I hope this answered your question, anon! Thank you for giving me the chance to ramble about my favourite fictional man <3

[lrgoescrazy]

bshshshshs the way you color skin is AMAZING the light scatter and reflection and stuff is awesome

what are your OCs like?? what are some cool things about their dynamic and reasons why? anything you want to talk about but don't get a lot of chances to?

omg THANK you i was just chilling and I instantly got like 10 notifications thank you sm!! ngl almost no one asks me about my OCs so don't mind if I absolute drop a bomb on you lmaoo

jayden (chinese guy with devil horns hair and eyepatch) thinks in a very black and white way, his two solutions to any problem are to beat it up or hug it out, no in between. and he loves snacks, one of the first parts of my comic (not gonna be posted for a long time unfortunately) is just him getting mad at a little spirit cuz it takes a bite out of his cookie!!

speaking of spirits the lore of my universe is kinda crazy too, there's a spirit world and tons of demons and cool creatures, and how it works is that ANYTHING you believe exists, exists in the spirit world its a true show for imagination lol and I love being able to just come up with wacky creatures or terrifying god-like beings.

also i said universe, not earth, for a reason. cuz there are ALIENS in my universe (the alien arc is gonna be soooo long, my plan for my comic is to include every character and plotline I've ever created, and I have been making OCs/stories since I was in elementary school) and I've made whole solar systems and technology and alien biology

magic is also a thing and it's closely tied with the spirit world. puma guy (no name yet but he's the purple blonde guy with eyepatch, and was literally created as a joke cuz I wanted to make a funny plotline about a flipped version of jayden) is a magician and he's very good at it too, and in my universe magic is actually quite closely tied to science, and for example, you cant just make an apple appear out of thin air, it has to obey (at least some, teleportation is completely not understood) the laws of physics and nature.

jayden is super happy all the time and he's rarely serious. he's very nonchalant about violence but it's not necessarily the first action he'll take. he cares a lot about justice and what's right though, he can't even comprehend that some ppl are truly evil, he innately believes people to be good because that's just what his morals are. he cares a lot more about other people than himself. also his Chinese name is 尊强 (zun qiang) which literally means something like "honour strong" he also has an evil sword with a demon in it that he can control cuz he has a bigger stronger demon inside him (unironically why his nails are black, he's not emo its the DEMON)

also i have something in my story called "levels" which is the shape inside my character's eyes (they all have one). jayden has a star, puma guy has a flower, yael has a backwards play button etc. what level you are is how many sides the shape has, with a curve counting as one side, so since jayden has a star, he is a Level 10. scientifically and medically its not called a level, but more like "spiritual fingerprint" since its unique for every person and cant be changed, its a literal part of your spirit. the levels actually do have an impact spiritually cuz the higher level you are, the better you are at seeing sprits and stuff which isn't necessarily better as the greatest warlord in history also had the highest level of 14 and went insane and died cuz of all the spirits he was seeing.

also prince lefayze (long hair dude with blue eyes) technically is level 1 but the monarchy insists that they are actually level infinity and just better than everyone else. lefayze is obv part of the very corrupt monarchy but he's quite cut off from what goes on and genuinely has no clue about all the horrible things going on until jayden comes in cuz he's basically forced to work for the monarchy but he takes his chance to get closer to the prince and show him how messed up the king (his father) and basically everyone else is. the king literally makes decisions in the prince's name, so this makes him quite the target even though the prince has never actually made any policies or statements, he's just a figurehead.

the fact that hes a target makes a lot of ppl try and kill him for valid reasons, although their hate is misplaced cuz again, he's not even doing anything, he's clueless.

i havent posted this dude, but there's a guy named fernando (I took his name from that abba song I kid you not, also took yael's name from new soul by yael naim, cuz that song is fr her) and he's... not on friendly terms with jayden, and that's being nice. I'll reveal what actually happens later, but he's the one who took jayden's eye, and no one's happy about that.

also the main cast of my TEN OCs (most are not posted) can turn into animals, jayden can turn into a lion, lefayze into a wolf, yael into an owl, Fernando into a deer, puma guy into... well, a puma etc

yael i've only posted once but i don't draw her a lot even though I've developed quite a lot of lore for her (involves autism and childhood trauma, very serious stuff actually, my story has comedy and very tragic/messed up stuff, but her story is one of the saddest) and she always ends up being the middleman between all the people fighting around her cuz she's dating fernando but she also doesn't think his actions towards jayden were fair, so it's kinda just complicated.

puma guy, being the opposite of jayden, is very serious all the time and he beats nazis up, that's literally his whole thing (very relevant in modern times I know) and he wants a relationship real bad, and it certainly isn't hard to find ppl who like him cuz he is attractive, but he can't talk to them!! he suddenly loses his ability to speak coherently around people he respects or people he likes, and it kinda messes things up for him. not to mention, since he's fighting all the time, it's just hard to manage a relationship, so even when he gets someone he isn't able to keep it going and it usually comes to an end. also he's probably got the strongest virtues of all my OCs, he only beats up bad people and he doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, always tries to be a good person (thank his parents lmao)

puma guy is literally the only one with a healthy relationship with his parents, the way he was raised by them did make his extremely selfless and it made him not complain (if he didn't want to eat veggies or smth his dad would just say "my dad was in the camps, eat up" and his mom wouldn't help cuz she would also just say "well my dad was starving and his house got bombed" ww2 generational trauma goes crazy

so puma guy bottles up all his problems and refuses to care for himself cuz "other ppl are doing worse than me" I love writing complex characters man

jayden and puma guy dont quite have the absolute hate for each other like jayden and Fernando, but because they are literally written to be opposites, they often disagree on simple issues (classic "I want to paint the wall blue" "I want to paint the wall pink") and they kinda have a really funny competition between them.

jayden and the prince... oh boy where do we even start. well I'll get this out of the way, they like each other a LOT, and its an interesting dynamic cuz jayden is always getting hurt to protect the prince, and the prince always feels really bad cuz he too cares about jayden.

i have one other character who's also fleshed out, but I haven't posted them (I really should tbh, but my current ref is literally more than a year old) and their name is rocksalt, and they are very blunt, no nonsense, say it like it is kinda person. they don't really show fear and they kinda just have a nonchalant attitude. very suited for being involved in laws and stuff. also they can turn into a cobra and again, more childhood trauma.

last thing... i have an old written story about jayden and his love for boba, it involves gang members and the old boba shop owner... who literally ends up in the hospital and has an IV filled with boba. and I wrote that for school, no joke. not to mention, I got a really high score on it the teacher was raving about it brooo

i lied about last thing, i also made a whole entire plushy of puma guy, except its a silly fat cat and that is literally the FIRST depiction of him and the first concept of him I ever made, a lot of the elements of his design make sense when you see the plushy

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: Unexpected Turn of Events

PREVIOUS POST

The following morning, Tails was walking through Spring Yard on his way to school, seeing Sally was holding a tribute to Sonic on live television.

Sally: My boyfriend, Sonic the Hedgehog, was a fairly ordinary guy. He always said it could've been anybody wearing the shoes. He was just the one who happened to gain super-speed.

He arrived at a corner shop, having a browse about the wares present.

Mysterious Shop Owner: You okay there, kid?

Tails: Yeah. Just looking for something while remembering all Sonic did for us.

Shop Owner: Yeah... I miss the guy as much as you do. We were friends at some point, you know?

He thought for a moment, before putting some odd glasses on the counter.

Tails: What's this?

Shop Owner: Some special shades that interface with your eyes to project your vision through them! Figured they might come in handy for you!

He looked at them curiously before trying them on, his eyes showing through blue LEDs.

Tails: Seems cool! Is it possible for me to return these if they don't fit later?

Shop Owner: Of course! They're adjustable, though, so they should find an eventual fit!

Tails: Thanks! How much is this gonna cost me?

Shop Owner: Just a couple of rings.

He passed two rings to the shop owner, who took them. Later, he had a look at himself in a mirror.

Sally: He may not have asked to be the fast blur we know him as today. But he chose to save South Island from danger from his first adventure onwards.

Tails gave some of Sonic's poses a shot, taking time to have a breather between each. During a school break, he took the time to attend the tribute, walking amongst a sea of well-wishers with their own things to honour the late hero.

Sally: Sure, he may have had flaws along the way, like his impulse, but my favourite thing about Sonic is that he made us all feel powerful in some form! We all have powers of one kind or another. But in our own way, we're all the hero that Mobius needs. And we're all counting on you!

Tails (quietly to himself): Even now, they're all counting on me...

After the service was over, he reminded himself of the things Sonic pulled off (using some of his merch as direct reference if need be). One of these depicted Sonic racing down a building back when the landmasses were separated. With this in mind, Tails hurried up some stairs and came out to a rooftop, looking out over Central City.

He looked down, and then to some platforms nearby, taking the time to calculate how he was going to pull it off. He braced himself to make the leap... before chickening out and running back down the stairs. Ashamed of himself for doing so, he eyed up a taller skyscraper, seeing that as a better way of practising.

After managing to pull it off without a hitch, he took the time to go and pay a personal tribute to Sonic, visiting the cemetery to see his tombstone.

Tails: Hey, Sonic. I've... helped Central City out again, just like you wanted me to. Heh, it was just Fang and his crew causing some trouble today. Since we're pretty used to their tricks, I knew what I was doing, hehehe.

He sighed sadly, placing an inactive item monitor next to the grave.

Tails: You know, I know it's been about a year by now, but I still miss you a lot, buddy. I mean, you've always been the one to lift us up whenever we felt down. You'd always tell us that if we wanted something done, to do it right away and when we can. The only way to live a life without regrets, huh? I know things look grey for me as I am, but I know there's a world of colour out there waiting for me! I just gotta know where to look.

He got up after a moment.

Tails: I promise I'll make you proud out there, Sonic. I know it's tough, but someday, I'll be out stopping the worst of villains just like you once had!

As he said that, he felt a presence behind him. Feeling it was trouble, he quickly slipped on the digital shades, turned around...

Sonic?: Hey, dude-!

...and unwittingly caused a blue figure to be catapulted backwards from an electrical jolt. The figure's enerbeam bracelet catapulted Tails forward as well.

Tails: WOAH!

They both landed within the road, which was currently devoid of vehicles.

Tails: What did I do to him? Uh...

He had a proper look at the figure, seeing he resembled Sonic in almost every way save for the height, the SOAP shoes... and a notable potbelly.

Tails: Who... is he?

Sonic?: Alright, people, let's do this one last time.

The pile appears again, this time with a comic cover for the Crossover Realm appearing.

Sonic?: My name is Sonic Maurice Hedgehog. I was transformed by one of Robotnik's machines, and for the last seven years, I thought I was the one and only hero of Mobius. What a day, huh? I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I saved Mobius, fell in love with Sal, saved Mobius some more, maybe too much, beat the heck out of Exegod and Corrupt, and blah blah blah, saved Mobius again... and again... and again. Fast forward!

The montage zipped forward to one of Eggman's Badniks charging at Sonic's face.

Sonic: One of Robuttnik's robots flew at my face and broke my back, my relationships got testy, made some dicey money choices - Don't invest in a Sonic-themed restaurant, by the way. - then, like, 2 more years passed, yada yada yada. A freaking drone flew at my face, I hurt my back again, entities that want to kill this stupid lemon idiot came around, I buried Uncle Chuck, who passed from old age, I realized I'm reaching adulthood, Sally and I... split up. But I handled it like a champion!

Contrary to his words, he was left sobbing in the shower afterwards.

Sonic?: 'Cause you know what? No matter how many times I get hit, I always keep on moving without regrets. I also got a lot of time to reflect and work on myself.

Cut to him watching a program about seahorses.

Sonic?: Did you know that seahorses mate for life? Could you imagine a seahorse seeing another seahorse and making it work? She wanted a family and kids, and for us both to rule over Mobius... and it scared me.

He anticipated calling Sally again, only to decide against it shamefully.

Sonic?: I'm pretty sure I broke her heart. Flash forward, I'm doing my part, doing ab crunches, getting "strong"...

Again, he's lying about it, as he's instead shown in a crummy apartment wasting away on chilli dogs.

Sonic?: ...when this weird thing happened.

A portal opened up above him, though he was more concerned about finishing his chilli dog until it suddenly glitched out.

Sonic?: I gotta say, weird things happen to me a lot, given I live in a crossover multiverse and stuff, but this one was especially weird.

He flailed about, quickly using his enerbeam bracelet to snag his SOAP shoes and a chilli dog for the ride. Only the former made it through, and when he arrived in Dimension MP-2021, he bounced around the area like a pinball before crashing straight into a billboard.

Sonic?: You see, I was still in Mobius, but... a lot of things were different.

He saw a screen in the distance showing the news mentioning it had been a year since OMT!Sonic had passed away after destroying the Outbreak Malware Threat.

Sonic?: I was this... embodiment of hope the island looked up to. Also, I was dead... and young. It felt... nostalgic. It was like going back in time!

He watched the tribute service quietly from a rooftop, trying to take it in.

Sonic?: I got a feeling that, whatever brought me here, it must've been the thing that got him killed. Wanna know what happened next?

We cut back to this Sonic getting unwittingly blasted back by Tails.

Sonic?: Yeah, me too.

Back to the present, where Tails was looking at this Sonic's unconscious body.

Tails: Who... are you?

???: What are you doing over there? Freeze! S.I.G.U.!

Tails looked up, seeing some SIGU officers and some of their Beetle unit approaching.

Tails: Are you kidding me right now?!

He tried to bolt it, but found he was now stuck tied to an unconscious body. Panicking, he quickly carried the unconscious Sonic on his back.

SIGU Officer 1: Hey! Stop!

SIGU Officer 2: Kid! Drop the body!

He picked up top speed, noticing the enerbeam bracelet. Thinking fast, he aimed it and connected to a nearby tree, the pair catapulting forward.

Tails: See you, officers!

However, it caused them both to smack into a wall from Marble Zone, sliding down onto the grass.

SIGU Officer 1: Hey! Come on now. Put 'em up, son.

He did so, accidentally setting off the enerbeam again and causing it to connect to a helicopter flying towards Central City.

Tails: Uh... See you later?

The two critters were flung upwards. Sonic woke up for a brief moment, only to get knocked out again when his head crashed into his counterpart's tombstone. Tails got off the chopper once the city was in view, getting moving to avoid the sight of the SIGU and the pursuing Beetle drones.

Sonic?: Woah... What the...?

Tails: Oh! Thank goodness you're still okay.

Sonic?: Who are you?

Tails: Who are you?

Sonic?: W-Why are you trying to kill me?!

Tails: I'm not! I'm trying to save you!

After enough evading the cops, they came to a stop just over a crossing, where Sonic had passed out from the repeated injuries along the way. The enerbeam wore off, dropping them both down in the middle of various passers-by.

Tails: Uh, maybe you all could walk around us? Okay, thanks, Central City.

Some Luo Binghe drama 💥

On the other side, Binghe was looking at the Jianghu's newspaper, where he read an article on Rusong and Ning Yingying.

Shang Qinghua: "cultivator Ning Yingying becomes the concubine of Meng Taizi Dianxia"

Binghe: yea, don't need to read.

Why are the Mengs so obsessed with me?!

And they dare break my harem!

Ning Yingying is mine! She's in love with me!

The simp had a crush on me first!

Now she's a concubine of some Dianxia.

Mobei Jun: this is a different Jianghu, Binghe. And the Mengs are dominant, and absolutely gorgeous.

They basically rule the world.

Binghe: are you on my side?! Or not!

Shang Qinghua: please don't argue with my king, he just has facts.

Sha Hualing: well Yao Huangdi is super hot.

Binghe: not as hot as me.

Ning Yingying is gone, and that gorgeous Qin Su took back her sisters to live with her, and Yao Huangdi stole Shen Jiu!

Like what gives, Yao Huangdi!

Sha Hualing: then give him a taste of his own medicine, and make Qin Su your harem member.

Binghe: ahhh, now you're talking. She's the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu.

Sha Hualing: hey! She must be underneath me! You understand!

Shang Qinghua: I thought you wanted Yao Huangdi.

Binghe: yea, but that was only to use him for hulijing powers. Anyways he is gorgeous. A little too gorgeous.

I rather marry A-Su instead.

Mobei jun: now what's your plan?

Binghe: stalking.

Then I'll put everyone, except Qin Su,  to sleep with my illusions.

Sha Hualing: dude, they're all powerful hulijings. They'll just become a nightmare of a nightmare.

Within the realm of illusion and reality, you would see their true faces and potential.

I'm a demon, so I would know.

Binghe: yea, now shut up.

I know that all hulijings are masters of illusion.

Shang Qinghua: don't let the dimples and the big golden eyes fool you.

Binghe: never.

Now i got to be stealth.

I'm banned from the empire, and Jing Manor.

~

Jing Manor 📍

Sizhui visits, with some of his clan leaders.

Sizhui: *kneels* greetings Huangdi and Huanghou.

Yao: greetings Wen Zongzhu. Please get up.

Sizhui: I came to do my duties as a clan leader. 

Paying respects to their Huangdi, asking about His wellbeing and bringing gifts.

Yao: oh you're too kind. I absolutely adore young clan leaders.

Especially when they act more mature than the older ones.

× it's a Jianghu custom, to check up on their Huangdi and respect him. All clans, great and small, do it when the time is right. Some would even talk to him about clan affairs~~ It's like bonding time with Huangdi~

But the disastrous, complicated Nie gui fei doesn't do it so often. ×

Sizhui: I have read that too much pride isn't a good thing. Great clans should honour you without someone telling them to.

Qin Su: correct, Zongzhu. And clan leaders must comply to the system.

Sizhui: mn.

Huangdi, how's your health? Have you been sleeping well?

Yao: oh yes, I'm alright. Thanks for asking!

I tried a new blend of tea, and it's working wonders.

Sizhui: that's marvelous. May Huangdi and Rusong Wangzi stay strong.

What about you, Qin Huanghou?

Qin su: I'm doing well, Zongzhu. Thank you. *smile*

Yao: and how are you, Zongzhu?

Sizhui: I'm fine, Huangdi. You care so much. The Wen sect is now ready to do more night hunts.

Yao: good news. The Wens are always persevere.

Sizhui: I have to meet Wei Qianbei and aunt Wen, some time.

Yao: hope you do, soon.

Sizhui: Huangdi, we brought you some ceramics, for your residence.

Yao: aw they're so beautiful! *inspects the gifts* ah, the craftsmanship and artwork.

As you see, I'm in love. Thank you Zongzhu.

Sizhui: I'm so glad you love and accept the gifts, Huangdi. *bow*

Xue yang: Sizhui, if you want some help in Qishan, you can always call me.

Sizhui: sure. I know you worked for the Wens as well.

Su she: You're a good sect leader. I commend you.

Sizhui: thank you, Xiandu.

Mo xuanyu: keep up the good work.

Sizhui: mn. I'll take your leave, Huangdi.

Yao: it was nice meeting you today.

Shen Jiu: I never saw team dimple be nice to anyone, except for the Mengs and themselves.

Su she: because he has respect for Huangdi.

Shen Jiu: well yea, that's a great thing.

But I didn't know you were capable of being nice.

Shen Jiu: *looks through a window, to his left, to see someone like Luo Binghe staring at him*

*squeals*

Team d and Qin Su: *startled*

Yao: Lord Shen. Are you ok?

Shen Jiu:  yea yea, I'm good. I thought my I saw my stalker.

Mo xuanyu: Binghe?! Is that wicked Binghe back? But Yao gege banished him.

Wanyue and Wanrong: Binghe?! He's here!!

Su she: and Jing Manor is hard to enter.

Yao: yes. Other than a defense force, it's also guarded by my own illusions.

If an unwanted person enters, and they're still safe, it just means that they're a part of my illusion.

Wanrong: but he's an illusionist too.

Yao: well we'll see who's stronger.

Su she: Yao Huangdi took down Wen Ruohan and revealed the Yiling laozu.

Qin Su: I feel so uneasy hearing about Binghe. Why does he keep stalking Shen jiu.

Wanyue: jiejie, we're sorry. I think he's here for us.

Xue yang: I think he's here for Shen's juicy ass.

Yao: I'll get the empire's protector to dispatch his hulijings in Jing Manor.

Shen Jiu: aww I feel so special.

Binghe: *talking to himself* Shen Jiu. You'll be mine. Time will tell.

He's so hot, omg.

And Qin Su.......oh, that woman is so divine.

Shen Jiu and Ayao: *opens fan and blocks Qin Su*

Qin Su: what's this?

Shen Jiu: for your safety.

Yao: I'll dig his eyes out.

Binghe: I want you two to fight over me. Nah, you three instead.

Yao: *flings his hensheng towards him*

Binghe: *disappears*

~~~

Meanwhile, out in a verandah, Rusong was spending time with Aqing and Ning  Yingying.

Rusong: *playing guqin*

Binghe: look at Rusong Dianxia.

He and his dad think they rule the world with their dimples.

I'm gonna ambush him.

Rusong: *creates an energy wave with his guqin strings, which pinned Binghe to a bush*

Then his guards unsheathed their swords.

Ning Yingying: what just happened?

Aqing: imma beat that intruder up!

Rusong: you better show yourself! How dare you enter a private spot in Jing Manor?!

Binghe: Rusong! Let go of me!

Rusong: *drags him out with his telekinesis*

Binghe: *falls at his feet*

Ning Yingying: Binghe?!!

Binghe: what gives, Rusong! You stole my woman.

Rusong: pardon?

Ning Yingying: I don't like you anymore. I have moved on!

Binghe: you can't move on from me!

Rusong: well I don't see how I stole her, and she has lost feelings for you. I advise you let it go

Binghe: you have the audacity! Do you know who i am! I'm the powerful Luo Binghe! I'm a feared demon king with 3000 harem members.

Aqing: and this is Taizi Dianxia you're talking to! The future Huangdi of this whole Jianghu! Now have respect.

Rusong: dear, I can humble him. Don't worry. *puts his hulijing tail around him, and squeezes him*

Binghe: Rusong! You brat!

I'll use my illusions on you.

Rusong: you think you can threaten me.

Ning Yingying: that's what you get for challenging Dianxia! You shouldn't have done that.

Aqing: burn him!

Rusong: so you have a large harem?

Ning Yingying: where everyone is mistreated

Binghe: you're lying!

Rusong: Don't you know mistreating women is highly prohibited here.

I don't think the empire would welcome you.

Aqing: and didn't Yao Huangdi ban you!

Rusong: Binghe, I'll sky you.

Binghe: and I'll keep coming back!

Rusong: *sigh* what do you have with the Mengs.

How dare you target us?

Binghe: you and Huangdi have everyone in a chokehold! And I want to break apart his harem.

Rusong: huh. Jealous much.

*flings him* now get out of my sight.

Ning Yingying: Dianxia, are you ok? Your qi didn't drop?.

Rusong: I'm fine.

Aqing: so that's your demon ex?

Ning Yingying: yea.

And he's possessive of everyone.

He even wants Shizun.

Aqing: shit.

~~~

Like a bad rash, Binghe appears on another side of Jing Manor and tries to cast an illusion.

Yet his power was being challenged by the fox spirits themselves.

Unfortunately, weaker hulijings fell into a trance.

Qin Su, however was alone in a room, observing hulijings fighting against a certain force.

Binghe: Qin Huanghou.

Qin Su: *turns around* Binghe!

Binghe: oo you know my name.

But Junshang would be fine.

Qin Su: you dare correct an empress.

Binghe: dear. You can call me Junshang when we're married. No need to rush.

Qin Su: are you mad?! Who said that I want to marry you!

Binghe: I don't think you'll have a choice.

Come on, you're really beautiful. And I think I should break up Yao Huangdi's harem.

Like what gives, dude?! Why are you taking my concubines.

Qin Su: your harem members chose to leave! That has nothing to do with Yao Huangdi!

Binghe: Qin Su, you know you're gorgeous. One of the most beautiful women in the Jianghu. Your face is a national treasure.Quite regal and headstrong.

If you join my harem, you can remain my empress.

Qin Su: I rather die.

Binghe: Death isn't an escape. You know that, A-Su.

Qin Su: Qin Huanghou to you!

Binghe: fine. *goes to touch her face*

Qin Su: *pulls out a dagger and slashed his hand*

Binghe: *trying to muzzle his scream* beautiful and dangerous. I like that.

But it won't stop me from taking you with me.

Qin Su: I'm married to emperor Guangyao. We have children, as well as billions of subjects. I'm not going anywhere.

Qin Su: this is what your Shizun taught you?!! To refuse someone a will or their own.

Binghe: forget about Shizun.

He'll  be a part of the harem too.

*walks towards her*

Qin Su: *steps back*

Then, a dreadfully sharp object slashed his back.

Qin su: Huangdi!!

Yao: stay away from her! *points his hensheng* or I'll go for your neck.

Binghe: where did you come from?!!!

Qin Su: *runs to Ayao's side*

Yao: did he do anything?

Qin Su: just tried to seduce me. But when he came close, I cut him with my dagger.

Yao: good.

Luo Binghe, you're not allowed in Meng territories. And now you tried to abduct my wife. Who's the empress.

How much money should I pay to to leave?

Binghe: give me Shizun and Qin Su.

Yao: hell no.

How about, I give you an illusion of  your Shizun. They will be a huijing, so they'll help you with your shenanigans.

But you must give them offerings, love and appreciation.

Binghe: dude, I'll do anything for someone who looks like Shizun!

Yao: splendid. Now don't call me dude.

Binghe: it's a deal. I'll leave your empire for good, and not harass you.

Yao: glad we came to an agreement.

Stop your illusion attacks and leave.

Binghe: as you wish. *grin*

[verymuchwowperson]

50 for the oc asks hehe

evening rune :] thank you for the ask!

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

oh . dude. im thinking thoughts all the time over these guys. uhhhhhh im just gonna mash a bunch that ive been having recently ig. yk that one poll thats like "do you make the design first or the character first when creating an oc?" i saw it but didnt vote or interact with it because i was lurking at the time, but ive been thinking about it and its prtty interesting to me actually. to nobodys surprise its a depends for me, but i feel like which one i do first affects the character as a whole. i have examples but theyre like, super spoilers for my characters :( i can spoil soleys a little bit though. i made the design for him first, and the Entire reason i made him was bcs i saw a billboard with that stereotypical "sun with sunglasses" thingie on it and i was like "hm. what if i made a guy with that. but they were Evil." and then i went back home and created one of my favourite guys ever. literally want to make a game about him hes so. i love him. on the other hand for somebody like teo, i made his character before i made his design, and im ngl, i think that was the only reason i ever got into making characters seriously in the first place. design is not my passion lmfao. anyway now that ive introduced you to the both of them i can activate my trap card and show yall shit about them that ive been keeping locked in my vault for ages. this was in fact my plan all along.

neither of these are teo, but they Are teos partners, arynn and quinn. i have no explanation for this one im gonna be real w u. i saw this post then blacked out and this was on my screen.

RARE GENUINE SOLEY SMILE THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME. i wish i had pictures of when his design was literally just this -> 🌞 with sunglasses and a leather jacket, but alas. anyway. your honour im cooked. every year ive had him ive just been realizing more and more that actually he was right and i have done him so dirty. i drew him happy here ^ once and it was Over for me, i Folded so hard. i have yet to rescind his "bad" ending so at least theres that, but chief i dont know how much longer thats lasting.

questions from here!

[pizza-rollzee]

Wait...what is this? Actual Paranormality news?! NO WAY! And...guess what?

OFFICAL GAME DEVOLPMENT HAS BEGUN!!!

That's right! While we are still in the pre-draft phase, the coding of several key Paranormality elements has begun! cue the party horns!

And, notice how I said "We"? That's right. I'm not alone. (I've always had you guys though. I'd never get rid of you, my pepperonis and peppers!) I've enlisted the aid of the one...the only...the fabulous...

...(Drum roll please)

...DINOSUNDAY! (My irl bestie fr fr)

(Trust me, this is totally what he looks like. Don't ask the sentient pizza how a Bulborb manages to code without arms. I don't know how Bulborbs do it. In fact...neither me, the pizza, nor him have arms. How am I typing this right now? Oh God. I might need to lie down in a nice warm pizza box and ponder this for a while...)

Seriously, he has been a great help with the project. Hell, now that the game development is in motion, he's the main reason why the thing is playable in the first place! So remember, he's a super duper cool dude and deserves to be praised too, y'all hear?

Lots of changes are bound to come to Paranormality as game development progresses so make sure to check this page often to keep up with all the sweet details, alrighty? Wanna take a quick peek at the earliest placeholder sprite of our protagonist, Jestoro Jumblesteen? Well...here you go!

This...this is art. It...(sniff) brings a tear to my eye.

In all seriousness though, this placeholder sprite has since been completely fleshed out into a highly detailed and stylised sprite! I'll make sure to show you the whole sprite once all of its early game animations have been completed and smoothed out!

Gameplay-wise, the game is currently top-down with heavy OFF/Undertale influences. Doors and basic collisions have been set up, as well as vigorously bug-tested. This is a different approach from the point-and-click RPG hybrid that the game was originally but time will tell if we go back. Besides, I'm all down for this approach! Toby Fox's games are my favourite pieces of media out there, after all. Gotta honour the King somehow! Don't worry though, the game will stand apart from its monster-mashing counterpart...in more ways than you'd first think. I can't wait to show you guys the battle system in the future! It'll be a great example to show you guys that Paranormality can stand apart from other influential and beloved indie RPG games and sprout its very own bizarre wings!

Again, development has literally just started and the game still has AGES left to go before it's even remotely ready but I assure you, the more days- months and years you let us cook, the better the final product will end up being. So remember to stay patient. We'll cook you up a meal and a half!

Once again, I'd like to thank Dinosunday for helping with the coding as well as joining our team of what used to be 1 person group.

So...like...basically just me.

I seriously can't thank him enough for becoming so enthusiastic about working on this dumb little passion product of mine. You are the best bestie out there...bestie!

And...uh...one last thing. You've ever wanted to see Jestoro's mask with huge, luscious lips? No? Well...I agree with you.

But...like...too bad- here it is anyway.

I regret nothing. Blame Discord.

Pizza...away!

D2: Fucked honour but not conscience

-You should see her boobs! - while his potential client was delightfully nibbling on some student from all sides, the blond was rummaging through the pockets of his tobacco-soaked leather jacket for a crumpled packet of cheap cigarettes. Pulling out a paper casing, he greedily gulped it down, immediately slamming his palms into the pockets of his jeans, trying to find a lighter.

-And booty… - he lustfully continued, as if she were picturing the object of his adoration in front of him.

-Pussy! - after another failed attempt at lighting a cigarette, the smoker blurted out.

-He-he-he, her fingers haven't got to her yet," the client corrected cheekily.

-Go ahead, man… - his skinny interlocutor reacted indifferently, finally taking a long-awaited puff. - Or better yet, get the money," he exhaled a copious stream of tobacco smoke and felt a rush of unforgettable high. - I don't give a shit what drives your libido.

-Did you find it? - shivering with impatience, the client asked and choked on a stream of smoke.

-Inaccessibility is an illusion, you just have to know how to look for it,- he exhaled the rest of the tobacco and intuitively looked around to see if there was another "principled" weirdo hanging around the stairwell. - The first, money, - after briefly watching the client rummage around in his rucksack, he finally got his hands on some twisted banknotes. - Give me a second… - student carefully unfolded it and checked the authenticity of each paper thoroughly in the light. - That's all right," he said, and then he tucked the payment into the inside pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out a miniature bag. - You know you shouldn't shout about it on every corner, don't you?

-Of course, dude, - he said excitedly. - Listen, - after twirling the packet in his hands, the former client soon spoke less confidently. - Is this drug really as good as they say it is?

-Why I should know it? - having extinguished the bullock against the wall and made his mark on the history of local smokers, he also replied indifferently: - I‘m too busy for mixing drugs with alcohol and let alone push this mishmash of nothing on an unsuspecting girls.

🎶 Super Besse – Net nichego

-Peek-a-boo, what are you doing? - a young female voice echoed near the landing, deeply embedded in his memory by its pretentiously suave manner of speech. - Smoking's bad for you, - as soon as the majestic shadow towered over the client's body, he immediately curled up and fled.

-It's not against the law to fuck up lungs," he commented angrily on her reproachful remark, trying not to spew out all the bile he'd accumulated since their last confrontation. - All the more, it's not your jurisdiction," he finally came out into the light and came face to face with his standard of righteousness within the walls of this shit-house.

-Really?! - she was indignant. - What if you're still selling nude pictures?

The guy's palm involuntarily clenched into a hard fist, ready to punch his interlocutor.

-One way or the other, - the brown-haired woman added with her hands at her sides: - You‘re the only familiar correspondence student that‘s why I had to torture you with questions, - noticing his intrigue, she showed him some screenshots of cringe correspondence from her student chat room.

-Oh, what are you expected? - the blond man responded sarcastically to her shocking discovery. - They need They need something to keep them busy until the next session, and our historian is the least grey-haired teacher in uni (he means university).

-It‘s disgusting! - the girl's ardent thirst for justice reawakened. - Now they would argue about the existence of a wife, then they would look for her, and in the end, those buzzers would be in trouble.

-Emilia, - the guy said her name dryly, - we‘re buzzers too.

-They're the smoker's buzzers! - She blurted out gustily, muffled when she heard a heavy cough.

-What are you up to? - The guy asked, coughing at last, with a touch of curiosity.

-Of course, a preventive conversation," she said earnestly, convinced of the efficacy of her idea. - What's so funny?! - The young woman was immediately indignant when she heard his laughter.

-Give it to me," taking the smartphone from her hands, he began to swiftly rummage through the dialogue files and select a suitable photo for the realization of the planned mischief. - It's already too late to play games with them, - bringing the speaker to his lips, he asked the piece intellect to generate a famous American singer near the teacher. - They'll fall for it, I bet.

-Mark, - the young woman snatched the phone away and muttered unhappily. - Not all people are degenerates.

-Really?! - he pulled a miniature dictaphone out of his pocket. - You're caught by the hand like a cheapskate.

hi,hello,hoy !!! You asked me what I thought of your fic so I am here to comment some things about it !!! :D

I love how you have to put pieces together to figure out what's going on with Y/N! Because when your theory gets confirmed you just get this SERATONIN (is that how you type it??) from it

(this one is honestly more of a nit pick just saying:) I feel like you could do a bit of foreshadowing like for example: In chapter 1 you could have described Y/N's backpack in detail so the readers know how it looks like and think "hMMM why are they describing it in such detail ???" and then when you get to chapter 3 you could describe Y/N's backpack as something else (not entirely something else but a small change) without Y/N reffering to it feeling like 'a different bag' maybe get him to say "something feels off..." so when the reader sees this they'll put the pieces together and say "WOOOAH WAIT THATS DIFFERENT FROM THIS THAT WAS SAID IN THIS !!!! :0" !! BUT!! Honestly that's just a little nitpick from me because I tried to write a few stories before (but then I gave up halfway) and I know bits and pieces on how to do cool foreshadowing (from a writer friend) but take this with a grain of salt because I am still ig a newbie at writing!! ><

also when Y/N is talking in his head and a thing thinks instead of him you could have a subtle shift in tone (idk if I am explaining this one well sorry I am a bit sleepy)

unhinged Sun. I just loved when that boy snaps. ( ‾̀◡‾́)

and the last one is.... remember to take breaks!!! Writing can be exhausting especially if the story is getting to your head (trust me ik how it feels when you get too emotionally attached and don't wanna kill your favourite off (╥﹏╥)) so remeber to take as much time off as you need your mental health is WAY more important <3

have a good day!!! :DDD<3 gonna make more fanart in the future when my wrist hurts lessheehehege---

OHHHHHHHH THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU THANK YOU <33 omg (sorry i really REALLY love reading peoples' thoughts Okay i am going to dissect this NOW [TOTALLY NOT PROCRASTINATING WORK]) ill put it under a cut since its kinda long AHH

ill be honest. Im SO SO GLAD you wrote all these points (especially the nitpicks !!/gen) - im super happy that you guys really love getting theories confirmed in the next chapter and im glad you noticed that the description of the backpack is. not up to par hehe ( AS WELL AS THE THING IN Y/N'S HEAD ) (also dw you explained it really well! )

I am at a constant war of wanting to spill everything and hiding info due to spoilers but !! ive been playing around with the fic being an unreliable narrator so much that i was incredibly concerned that it was. very confusing WAHAHA (it probably still has some things to fix though), so im genuinely really glad you pointed out inconsistencies(?? oddities? i dont know how to say it but basically funky writing) in the places where i wanted there to be :]

HAHA I DONT KNOW IF I MAKE SENSE RIGHT NOW it is like. 2am. but tldr hheehee hoo hoo i am so glad that things are going according To Plan. (dude i am like. saving this post too just so i can reread and make sure things unfold properly too)

LASTLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS !! writing analysis and feedback take so much time and Im really really honoured that you guys spoil me with a LOT of them- and for understanding that this fic kinda takes a toll on my health wahaha <33

also guys pls. pls rest your wrists. i am going to spam stretches soon. (ALSO ALSO THANK U ALL FOR THE FANART FOOD please dont overexert yourself though !! health first and genuinely; you guys even reading my fic is the greatest honour ever. take care of yourselves!!! and have a good day too <33

Well while this isn't technically revalink centric (or even revali centric) it is an au of sorts that been rotisserie chicken-ing in my head for a few weeks now, so I'll leave out the just for me bits and give you the revalink version

So it starts with an expanded hyrule. More world beyond the borders we're given and more variety in the races than was ever present. Crab zora dude, crab zora. Anyway, from this I divided up the goddesses, created some cool backstories for each central city and added a lot more culture and spice and everything nice to everywhere.

But that's not what you're here for, no, you want the gays and fair enough so I do, that's why I'm here rambling.

So, not very long story made not quite shorter, revali's gale is a modified versions of farores wind, and she's sort of but not really "blessed" him and helped him learn to control the winds, and also gave him his green eyes (its a whole thing I don't have time to get into), and it's why he wears his jade bangles. He's not super aware about all this, rito don't tend to believe in the fairytales of goddesses, and it won't do his character any good if he doesnt fight tooth and nail for his abilities.

Now we have link, scrawny, depressed and never sleeps, but not nearly as much as he doesn't speak nor emote. Is very much mocked by the other guards for his small stature and wiry frame, but for as much as he eats (link will never not be a glutten to me) he trains harder and exerts his body beyond what he can stuff in his mouth. He pulled the master sword from a young age (too young if you ask anyone with common sense) and was forced into knighthood since then, doesn't know much else but shutting up and fighting.

When he was assigned to be zeldas personal knight, there was tension, mostly one sided (most of his relationships tend to be that way, and its never his side is it). She started not totally hating him after being saved by the yiga (pre-champions) and starts befriending him after he fucking collapses watching her one night (im thinking the night after the champion ceremony). Next morning they have a lovely heart to heart to hands as she teaches him sign.

Now that that's been introduced, onto the gay boys. (Half these ideas are coming to me while I'm writing dude. I have creative juices flowing out of my ass rn. Uh, that sounded weird, moving forward.)

Now onto the same time as revalis flap (I've always loved that name. Like, it's so... diminishing of what it really is, and makes it feel like it wasn't truly as one sided as it seemed), it's their first meeting, revali is an absolute prick, but not as much as he is in canon, and slightly more like the Japanese version (rivals not enemies). He can recognise links skill, but sadly lacks the introspection and emotional clarity to realise how much it mirrors his own, and subconsciously craves links approval more than anyone else's, because if the so called hero of hyrule can recognise his efforts, maybe he's worth a damn (though of course he's worth a damn, he tells himself. He's revali, champion of the rito and a warrior of legend, or will be one day).

He believes link to be some knight from riches, gifted with the most talented of swordsmen for trainers and bestowed the honour of hero of hyrule, princesses personal knight, from bribery and possibly pity. What he doesnt know is that they have both been noticed by goddesses, and had a destiny shoved in their face and a power dangled above them, just out of reach but begging to be earned. By hylia do they both earn it, through hardwork, dedication, total control of the mind and body to the point they become emotionally and physically closed off to all those around them, and losing their lives to this cause. And neither of them really realise they don't want this destiny, not truly, and that it is the source of many of their miseries.

Link believes revali another pompous and arrogant aristocrat, another warrior from riches or royal bloodlines, like the stuffy shitholes at the castle, the fellow knights who belittle him, less like the kinder champions that were also chosen, but who are still chiefs and princesses and lords. He knows he must be a powerful warrior, but thinks he needs to shut up for once, which is fair, but he doesnt know that if revali didn't scream his name the world would forget it. The world doesn't remember kids from no homes brought up in small villages who shut themselves away to learn the bow and arrow.

So uh, suffice to say they both don't really like eachother, for the same misunderstood reasons. But, revali is willing to put it to the side (not really) if he bests link (if link would just fight him already) and links willing to just put a pin in it and deal with it never (like he does with everything else).

But from then on its mostly the usual fanon shenanigans. Revali insults link on the regular, urbosa scolds him and sends them on missions together, while link remains stoic as ever, revali can tell he's sparking competition, that he is competing with him. This fuels him further to get something out of link, cause he knows that there's actually a soul in there and not just the stupid sword.

And one mission they're sent to hebra and haha link really doesn't like to take care of himself and doesn't pack anything to deal with the cold so whoops he gets sick and revali gets to take care of him and brings him to the flight range to get him sorted (and totally so he can show off his shooting). But that'll wait till links better because oh Goddess! What's this! Links having a fever dream (nightmare) and holy hylia! Is that him mumbling something that could almost be called words! Wow he looks quite distressed and he's whimpering and maybe you should do something revali (out of pity. totally. he doesnt care at all for the knight)

So he, very tentatively, very unsure, very much out of his depth because this was not in the job description, strokes links hair, whispering comforts, and realises how much of a keese nest links hair is (and yet it's still so soft. It's different from the ritos hair, but in a way that feels oh so natural between his wingtips). So before he realizes the implications of the action, he finds a brush and combs through links hair, and he calms down. When link wakes up neither mentions it, but if revali thought he saw the slightest hint of a smile on the knights face, well it was surely a trick of the light.

And im so very sorry op but I will have to leave it there because the creative juices are drying up and I have a show to catch up on. Idk if this was what you were looking for but hey. it was something. and honestly I've been looking for a reason to write out my thoughts about the boys so thank you for the motivation <3

does anyone have a botw au/ revalink au that they want to talk about in extreme detail to me because I’m so bored and have zero inspiration rn

like please like it can be something so simple and/or niche or something extremely complicated and would take a while to explain but I don’t care because anything would be nice right now. If there is something that you have been wanting to share for a while now, now’s the time PLEASEE like it doesn’t even have to be an au it can just be a bunch of head cannons PLEASE

like just message me or @ me in a post or anything PLEA🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I think I have seen your art been singed by spn cast, but have you been to a con and met any of the cast? And if not, who would you want to met?

Heya, thanks for the fun question!

I think some folks have had it signed here and there, and that always tickles me hahaha! I sometimes cringe because there's some of my old art that I don't like, and I personally don't love showing people more explicit things without their consent (like, especially not about themselves - I the cast is used to it, but I'm VERY conscious-to-the-point-of-anxiety about consent and NOT making people uncomfortable so yeah, but that's just me.) Generally though, I'm super honoured anyone would ever consider having ANYTHING I make signed like, whoa. I DID get Misha to sign one of my books though, which is neat.

I've briefly met a few of the cast at the very rare Canadian conventions (in Montreal and Toronto, because Creation charges in USD and it's so incredibly expensive for me as a Canuck, so I haven't been to many cons). I've met Misha, Jared, Jensen, Alex and Ruthie. I had some good and er, medium(?) experiences. The most surprising was Jensen, who I was most intimidated by because well, PRETTY and O M G D E A N, but he was such a delightfully polite and down-to-earth chill dude. Put me at ease right away, and he seemed genuinely grateful to all the fans who showed up for him. Then again, he might just be a great actor, but regardless, the fact that he goes out of his way to make everyone comfortable was very nice, and honestly so appreciated. I would honestly love to meet him again just for the chill vibes, as weird as that sounds. I'd also LOVE to meet Felicia (because Felicia!) and Adam Rose because even though I don't know much about him, he's fucking hilarious on TikTok.

I'm wondering though, why do you ask? Just curious :D
