“Just the tip”

cw: includes some dubcon/noncon depending on interpretation

Gaz is saying it to tease you when he’s just barely inside of you. “Is that enough for you, love?” He can feel you pulse around him as you whine, just short of begging.

Soap is saying it when he’s drunk, you’re drunk, and you definitely shouldn’t be doing it. He’s promising you don’t have the go all the way— just a little, just to help him get it out of his system, ok?

Ghost is just straight up tricking you. Told you he’d take it slow tonight, but then he snaps his hips against yours so hard that your ass flesh of your ass ripples. “Can’t believe you keep fallin’ for that one, birdie.”

Price is condescending as all hell. He’s talking to you in that babying way when you’re horny and desperate. “Just the tip— that’s all she needs, yeah? This sweet little pussy… Aw, does that feel better, darl’?”

König really meant it in the moment that he said it. He knows you’re anxious about taking him— and for good reason. But once he finds himself inside, how is he supposed to resist? You’re just too sweet. Too warm. Too wet. Too tight. Too breathtaking beneath him. He’s only a man, liebling.

'All human beings have staggeringly great faults which can easily be exploited by a clever observer . . . I could divide anybody from anybody . . . Play sufficiently on a person's vanity, sow a little mistrust, hint at the contempt which every human being deeply, secretly feels for every other one. Every man loves himself so astronomically more than he loves his neighbor. Anyone can be made to drop anyone.'

Iris Murdoch, from A Fairly Honourable Defeat

I Just Had This Realization…

Maybe I am reading too much into it, or maybe it’s just been blatantly obvious and I’m just now realizing it, but I feel like the entire Mystery of The Weird Looking Walrus episode (or MOTWLW) was an attempt to sort of make fun of, and more importantly draw attention to one of Zach’s shortcomings/key weaknesses…

That shortcoming/weakness being: Overindulgence….

See below cut for more…I rambled on a bit more than I planned!

We learn that Zach overate clams and became ill at the finding your inner villain seminar: Overindulgence.

Zach stole the Arctic Pearl and wanted more pearls for financial gain: Overindulgence.

And who is directly connected to these revelations…Donita Donata. She is part of the reason why Zach wants to collect pearls in the first place, and she points out that he became ill after the clam incident.

It may be a stretch to say this, but her connection to these revelations makes me think she knows that overindulgence is one of Zach’s weaknesses. Although this is one of their first episodes together, they obviously have enough of a history that Donita knew she could pull this out as ammunition against him. She knew it would make him take pause, giving her an advantage over him so to say. And she took the chance when it presented itself.

And the fact that Eva Almos, Donita’s voice actress, wrote this episode…It makes me think she might even know or sense this weakness of Zach, namely, that overindulgence is one of the keys to defeating him. And by extension she, the other writers, directors, the Kratts, etc. also know this weakness of Zach.

We often see Zach being defeated after he has “overindulged” himself. In this episode, we clearly see how his need for pearls, his overindulgence in these material objects for financial gain, resulted in the Kratts victory and him being strung up like drying laundry.

And this is just one example of the negative impacts of his overindulgence in the show. For instance: He wanted a black table in a Huge Orange Problem, leading him to cut down more and more trees…cue him being thrown into a river.

In Choose Your Swordfish, Zach wanted to collect all the fish in the oceans so he could sell them and make zillions of dollars. But as he overindulged and collected more and more fish he ends up being confronted by Aviva in the fencing match and nearly becoming the mako’s lunch.

Throughout the series this trend continues. But it’s the interaction between Zach and Donita and Zach’s goals within MOTWLW that just makes it so much more apparent to me. It’s like the writers and Kratts know this is a key weakness of his and they want the audience to know this. Zach can be stopped, he can be stalled and defeated if his penchant for overindulgence is entertained.

I’m sorry if this post seems a bit rambling and confusing, but I hope it makes sense!

I just wanted to remind you all that lava doesn't seem to affect most algebraliens but fire does. X could go through lava just fine yet was visibly hurt from being set on fire. Four stood on lava like Jesus stood on water and was fine, but got hurt when Firey Jr. set him on fire from the inside by setting Spongy on fire from the inside. I think this is very important to remember as it seems to be intentional since it happened to both X and Four.

Edit: this also means that they are not heat-proof or at least not completely heat-proof because the reason lava and fire hurt is because they're both high temperature.

Btw fire is hotter than lava, but magma that's closer to the Earth's core is definitely hotter than fire. And X went very down (but idk how down) into the Earth.

My childhood trauma didn't make me stronger. it made me a people pleaser. it made me forgive way too much. it made me not speak when i'm supposed to. it made me an extreme empath.

Weaknesses: preening

Things you do that make them so proud of themselves

Gaz loves it when you tell him he’s the first person who’s done something for you. First to buy you a bouquet, first date to pull out your chair for you, first man to offer to change the sheets for you after making you cum all over them. Man loves raising your standards.

Soap’s tail is wagging whenever he fixes something and you take notice. He’s always been a tinkerer, and doing little fixes and repairs is one of his favorite acts of service. So yeah, when you noticed that dial on the stove isn’t sticking anymore? That the refrigerator stopped making that weird noise? He’s pleased as punch.

Ghost feels his chest puff out when you ask him to talk to someone for you. Sometimes when you’re anxious, sometimes when you just don’t know how to be mean to someone who’s being an asshole. Being your guard dog is his favorite thing.

Price is most happy when he recommends something to you, thinking you’ll like it, and you do. This can be food, a movie, a sex position— anything. He just likes the affirmation that he knows you so well.

König is on cloud nine when you tell him you miss him, or that you’re waiting for him because there’s something you just can’t do without him being with you. He loves being needed, so when you need his presence alone? That’s a high he’s never coming down from.

Nikolai likes it when you use him to hide. Whether it’s from an unfamiliar person or merely the sunlight coming in through the bedroom window. He loves to be your shelter, for you to grab his hand or put your face against his shoulder or get behind him. And yes— he insists on holding the umbrella for you both.

can you burn away your weaknesses 🌈

[autisticfoxgirl333]

New Villain OC and Co-assistant of Lady Obsidian, Ribbonette A.K.A., Paralopome!

Ribbonette/Paralopome's Powers & Abilities: Ribbon Manipulation/Mimicry, Superhuman Strength (optional), Entanglement, Flexibility, Enchanced Agility, Assimilation (via magic masks)/Brainwashing, Manipulation, Shapeshifting, Sizeshifting (optional)

Ribbonette is a portmanteau of ribbon and -ette (used to make words more feminine)

Paralpome is a portmanteau of Parallell and Melpomene (The Muse of Tragedy)

Weakness: When faced with strong emotions or embarrassment, she becomes overwhelmed. Ribbons can be cut easily. Because her body is made of ribbons, she will lose a limb if cut. If her entire body is cut up, she will be reduced to a mask with a few ribbons. Both weaknesses will cause the magic masks that assimilated the victim to shatter and crumble, freeing the victim from their control and returning the victim to normal.

As Ribbonete: She is cheerful, bubbly, helpful, kind, energetic, playful, confident, friendly, very calm, and hyper. But it's all a ruse. As Paralopome: She is actually manipulative, deceptive, hypocritical, power-hungry, arrogant, intelligent, cunning, theatrical, has an ego, cruel, and loyal to no one but herself and her master, Lady Obsidian.
