first/previous/next

transcript:

April:

You guys go on patrol! Beat up some bad guys or something. I’ll stay here with Leo.

Raph:

Are you sure it’s okay?

A:

Absolutely. He’s not even bein’ nasty – he’s just moody. And besides, I think Mikey could use some fresh air.

R:

Right…

Thanks April!

A:

Thank me by bringin’ pizza home!

Leo:

Are they gone?

A:

Yuuuup.

L:

hup hup hup hup h-

R:

We’re back. And we got Heuso’s. Wait why are the lights off.

Banner: It’s a boy!

L:

So… What do you think?

I know it’s kind of silly because Dad made me a guy already, but you and Donnie and Mikey all had your coming outs and with the whole – everything that’s been going on-

Donnie:

Raph, you’re dropping me. Rapha. Raphael?!

OW!

R:

I’m proud of you Leo.

L:

*churr*

Raph. What are you covered in.

R:

Meat sweats gooped us.

L:

What do you mean “Gooped”!!

R:

It’s too late, just enjoy the hug.

L:

Why does it smell like that?!

Casey Jr.:

You… look like you’re feeling better. I’m sorry – I was careless with my words. I should know by now that I should be more careful talking about the future.

Mikey:

Nah. I definitely over-reacted. And that misunderstanding was our fault in the first place.

I’ve never heard you mention anything but rats and eggs… you never know what we’re feeding you, do you?

CJ:

Well…

M:

Don’t worry about it. If you want, we can spend time in the kitchen together! I’ve got some new recipes I want to try now! I can teach you!

CJ:

I would like that.

Meme 1:

Splinter: Coming home.

April: Getting the hose

Donnie: In sensory hell

Casey and Mikey: Bonding

Raph: Gooping Leo

Meme 2:

Donnie: Raph I’m falling help

[olderthannetfic]

Oh, golly! A known youtuber was recently exposed for plagiarism also turns out to be an extreme misogynist?? Who could've noticed such a thing!

It's not like in multiple videos he went on rants about how female authors are big bads for writing about MLM couples and female fans are big bads for daring to enjoy those ships.

In his Killing Stalking video, he attacked women for enjoying the manga and (it's been a long time since I watched that video, and considering that he nuked everything, it's not like I can go back, but I'm pretty sure that he said that) we are raised with the belief that the abusive relationships between two gay men are ok to fetishize while we'd never read the same thing between a man and a woman (not only this is stupid and untrue, but notice how a third kind of couple is missing, here. Wonder why.)

Later on, he talked shit about the author of Love, Simon, forcing her to come out, then proceeded to keep addressing her as a "straight" woman, and whined that the book/movie erased the characters of any kind of sexuality despite the women wanting to see gay men do the nasty.

Later, later on, he rambled about Red, White, and Royal Blue, and this time he complained about that the evil women who fetishize gay men were against genuine displays of sex acts between two gay men (???).

For years, he blabbed about how women are the true enemy of gay-men-focused medias, and even then he couldn't keep his story straight (do we like to see these gay men fuck or not?? James, which one is it??).

Not to mention the fantastic take of "Queer women had it easier throughout history," because that's such a punch in the chest that we can't ignore it.

Guys, this shit was always in plain sight. He never tried to hide it, there was no need for a bald bisexual man to make us notice it. We gotta stop turning our faces to blatant misogyny simply because it's being expressed by a gay man.

--

Yuuuup.

I'm genuinely sorry for the people who didn't spot it, but I am not sympathetic. Somerton was not even a little bit subtle. He was a toxic, rancid piece of shit for many, many years.

Also, even the plagiarism accusations are years old. People just didn't listen because nobody youtube-famous had made a big video about them.

[barrenclan]

I was about to say ‘maybe Malmo would suit Barrenclan’ but uh Rainhaze isn’t looking too hot and youch

ANYWAYS I think the song Malmo by Moon might suit Barrenclan as I mentioned before, specifically the popular part (it’s always the popular part)

Three of us sleep next to three others

(Not sure who it’d match)

It's hot and we rot in this oven

(referring to Barrenclan’s environment)

Now there's something about the language

(followed by next part, but maybe Rainhaze about the welcoming of death or injury in Defiance)

Something about these people

(Pinepaw with the new scar or maybe Corm or maybe Rain. I think they could all decently match??)

That look an awful lot like me

(Same as before, Pinepaw with the new scar or maybe Corm or maybe Rain. maybe even talking about Slug right now too)

I'm surprisingly accepting of this discomfort

(Why I said Rain is at this point (right before death but close enough) is because he didn’t seem to mind it anymore)

But I'm not trying to be much of a person right now

(don’t know)

I'm just trying to get some sleep

(Pine with the nightmares and now grief. also with the shock.)

Not sure if these actually match but they seem close enough and I’m very tired anyways OH MY RAIN HOLY BDDBXBBBDB

Wow, Paul Dano is in this band? That's cool. I like your analysis of the lyrics!

Why it's an absolute classic! In terms of characters I think it fits Deepdark a bit better than Rainhaze, though.

Do I even need the lyrics for I Can't Decide?

ANOTHER classic! I like this one sort of swapping off between Slugpelt and Rainhaze, where he's trying to get her to come back to him in their youth, but now it's flipped the other way.

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you

The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you

This one's been suggested a couple times, but I still really like it with Slugpelt, so here it is again.

I don't this it has! Ah, I recognize it from IncuriousCat, of course. They're very popular on this blog it seems. Rainhaze is a good character for song about making bad deals.

I'ma make a deal with the bad wolf So the bad wolf don't bite no more

My enemy is a friend of mine in a friendly place to be seen, hey You know I'll run away for a couple years just to prove I've never been free

Has Ride the Cyclone has a re-emergence? I feel like I've seen it a lot lately. It's nice to have a song with old BarrenClan anyways, before all the tragedy and drama.

What the world needs Is people like me To keep it all spinning around I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker

He put it into words, and it's plain to see We need a little less of them A little more of me!

Yeah, I think you could chuck this in a Rainhazeward direction!

All this time, I've felt like my time to go would arrive That it can't last forever; I've been decaying Moldy scaffolding, ritual strangling No matter what I try, I seem to stay alive

My body should be cold The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul I left so long ago Behind me are the tears I couldn't control

HOORAY! I'm a big Pink Floyd fan. It'd be so cool to see a "Trial" scene with him as Pink and all the other characters as the other roles.

Day after day, the love turns gray Like the skin of a dying man And night after night, we pretend it's all right But I have grown older, and you have grown colder And nothing is very much fun any more

Oooh, Bauhaus! Also a big fan of them. That's a good alternate voice claim for Deepdark, too.

Thank you, it is! I'm always taking more song asks, of which I have got quite a few. I'm glad you like the comic!

May you die wide awake With a look of great surprise May your eyes be taken just Before you can weep As you see what you stole stolen from you <- yuuuup rainhaze

Aww, that makes me sad. But it does fit well with them.

I dreamt I found you hanging I didn't know what it meant Your eyes would follow me through Everywhere I went

The window on the fifth floor Shattered as you wept What am I witnessing? What stories have you kept?

Damn ran outta links, I thought I got it this time

Superdim Sunday Chapter 8: Epilogue and Introduction of Moonstrike

Gene's eyebrows shot up when she knocked on the garage wall. "Sheeeeet." He cocked his head.

Ji-Min exchanged a nod with the wraith waiting next to the car. Her black eye throbbed. The bruise wrapped around her head and under her hair. Her sunglasses weren't really disguising the extent of the bruise, not this close.

"What happened to you?" Gene detached from the garage wall, frowning. "You in trouble, darling?"

Ji-Min cracked her gum. "I'm fine," she said. She avoided looking at the wraith. If he wasn't gonna say shit, neither would she. "Let's open up this beauty." She put the glasses on the top of her head.

Gene held out the keys. She took them with a nod. "You need the car today?"

The cowboy shrugged. "Nah," he said. "We're in town another couple of days."

"Yeah?" Ji-Min kept any interest out of her tone. She propped the hood open. "Where's next." She stared into the engine block.

There was a hum. "New Platopolis, I think."

Figured. That was kind of the national center of super crime. It was a great place to go if you wanted to get arrested.

She sniffed. "Sounds nice."

"Yuuuup." Gene blew out some air. "Let me know if you wanna ride, ma'am."

"In your broken car, yeah." Ji-Min shot him a wry grin before she got to work. "You're the darling."

The wraith sighed. But he didn't say shit.

______________________________________________________________

Superdim ends here, but the next installment- Moonstrike- starts where Superdim leaves off. Keep posted for Moonstrike Mondays, coming soon!

Moonstrike Preview, Chapter 1

"I need to postpone basic training," Ji Min texted. She was leaning up against the kitchen counter. "Work is sending me out of state." Somewhere outside, a child shrieked. She could hear the beeping of a crosswalk.

The response came quickly. "For how long?"

"Two weeks," she texted back. The prediction she'd been given was 1.5, but these things almost always ran long. Besides, it was best to lie. She hadn't given them her identity yet. Any accurate information was a clue.

"That's unfortunate," messaged Alejandro, the suit who was arranging her government hero training. "We had aligned your training with another new start in the program. You're sure you can't rearrange things with work?"

Ji Min snorted. Well, she was glad to miss that. "Sorry to hear that," she lied. "It's non negotiable. I'll catch up in training as best as I can." She put her burner phone away without waiting to see what the government had to say about that.

She already knew that they wanted her to be financially dependent on them. They weren’t forcing the issue, but they were very clear that she could quit her job and live on the general salary and benefits package that came from state heroism. Ji Min didn’t need to wait for Alejandro’s reply to know that he’d be doom and gloom about her chances to catch up in training. He'd probably caution that it wasn't going to be that easy, she had to expect a hard time, yada yada. If training was as hard as he kept saying, she'd be genuinely surprised. There were plenty of incompetent heroes bumbling their way through life.

Birds chirped outside. She glanced out the window to confirm that the weather looked idyllic. She wanted to feel the sun on her face, turning her hair hot and warming her shoulders.

She let out a heavy sign and went to her closet to dig out her rain gear.

Ari thumped her way down the stairs and into the living room. She gave Ji Min an amused look. "Good morning."

"Good morning," Ji Min echoed. She snapped open a plastic storage container and started lifting up winter coats in search of what she needed.

"Your rain boots are in the hall closet." Ari opened the fridge and pulled out eggs and bacon. "You start the coffee?"

Ji Min tugged out the rain coat and shoved the box back into the closet. "No, sorry."

"I'll get it, then." She heard a drawer slide open.

"No, no, it's my job." Ji Min closed the closet and followed her sister into the kitchen. "Dark roast okay today?"

The burner flicked on. Ari snickered. "Long day?" The scent of olive oil wafted over as Ari unscrewed the cap.

Ji Min sighed theatrically without pausing in measuring coffee beans. "I've gotta go out of state, do field work after that hurricane." She started the grinder.

"Better you than me." Ari checked the heat of the cast iron pan and started cracking eggs into it.

Ji Min side-eyed her and resisted the urge to tell Ari to crack them into a bowl first. Ari knew that trick, she just didn't want to do it.

"Don't." Ari put the rest of the eggs away.

Ji Min put her hands up. "I didn't say anything!" She protested.

"You were thinking about the egg bowl."

"You don't know what I was thinking," Ji Min lied, and poked her sister in the side with a finger.

Ari made a satisfying shriek and brandished the spatula at her. "I will hit you!" She threatened.

Ji Min rolled her eyes. "Is this the limit of your pacifism?"

"Older sisters are an exception," Ari snapped back. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and proceeded to ignore Ji Min.

Fair enough. Ji Min put bread into the toaster, ready for the magic of transformation. Then she got out everything they needed from the fridge, moving around Ari as she set the table. She breathed in the sweet and spicy scent of fermented kimchi and the savory smell of cream cheese.

"Stop sniffing our breakfast, weirdo," Ari complained.

"I'll sniff what I want." Ji Min scooped out what they needed and mixed them together briskly. She stuck the remainder in the fridge and was spreading the dreamy mixture on toast by the time Ari brought over eggs, ready to slide on top. Ji Min poured the coffee. They ate in silence.

Ji Min was the first to break it, once her toast was gone. "Finals are coming up, right? Three weeks out?"

Ari sighed and looked into her coffee cup. "Yeah." She stirred it unenthusiastically. "I'm going to fail my Econ final. I'll scrape a pass, I did well on the earlier work. But it's not going to be good."

"You are not going to fail," Ji Min said, appalled. "We'd never hear the end of it. What's going wrong?"

Ari shrugged. "It doesn't make sense to me, and I don't have the time to study it enough. I have to prioritize the essays I have. I really don't think I can fit it all in."

Ji Min grimaced. "How many hours are you doing at the café?"

"25 a week." Ari looked up at her. "Why?"

She pointed at her little sister. "If you promise to pass Econ, you can take the next three weeks off, or quit if they don't agree. I don't care. I'll cover you. You're almost to graduation anyway."

"No way," Ari said, but Ji Min could tell she was tempted. "I don't want to leech off of you."

"In three months you'll probably be making more money than me in some firm." Ji Min shrugged. "You can get me a good birthday gift. Do you need a tutor?" She cocked her head. "If the way the professor explained things didn't stick, you're probably not going to get it by banging your head against your books."

Ari sucked in air through her teeth.

That was answer enough. Ji Min stood up, leaving her plate. "I'll leave my blue debit card, take out what you need."

"What's the limit?" Ari asked swiftly.

Ji Min snorted. "I'd pay a lot to keep our family from demanding to know why you didn't do well in one gen ed class." She pursed her lips. "Call me if you need more than a thousand, but I'll laugh at you for getting cheated by the tutor."

"That's fair," Ari said.

"You're doing the dishes."

Ari made a sour face, but she didn't argue. She left the apartment first, en route to a class.

Ji Min had more time. She finished packing and hauled everything to the door. Then she stretched out on the sofa and turned on the T.V. to the news.

She immediately huffed a laugh at how topical the story was. They were recapping the whole alien invasion thing. Ji Min was bored enough to turn up the volume and watch a manic-eyed reporter interview Heatwave. She bit her lower lip, watching the older hero talk.

Most anonymous heroes covered their eyes: he'd taken the opposite route by covering everything else. You could see that he had long lashes, brown skin, and orange eyes. He probably just wore colored contacts in his private life and wound up anonymous.

He was actually one of the impressive ones, an international hero with the U.N. His teammates were probably still engaged with cleanup as he calmly reiterated that there had been no civilian casualties and that the invaders had been successfully repelled.

"They were repelled because they came to Norway and that's atrocious," Ji Min sniffed, and turned the T.V. back off. She knew she was being bitter, but the E.U. had all the top hero teams. It was like soccer: the USA was too stubborn to get involved early on, and now they lagged behind. If they were the top of the pile, Americans would be insufferable about it. But since they sucked, they turned their noses up at international heroism.

It could change, though, she realized. They were putting a lot of money into recruitment. Maybe that was the goal.

Hmm. Would she want to be on a comparable team, maybe for North America or just the Americas in general? Mexican heroism was stylish. She'd work with one of them, for sure.

She thought about it. She was still going back and forth on whether she was genuinely becoming a hero or if she was just grifting the government for supplies and training.

"It would be pretty cool to be a founding member of an international team," Ji Min admitted to herself, toying with the idea.

Despite what Alejandro said… she believed that she was better than the average hero recruit. Maybe what he'd said had even reinforced that, if she was honest. The physical limits he'd mentioned were news to her.

"I might just have been born better than everyone else," she mused. She got up to make another coffee. "It might be nice to show off."

When it was time, she drove to the airport and caught her flight down south. The company had a rental waiting for her. She took it straight to work, going to client homes and businesses until the end of working hours. Only then did she drive to her hotel and check in for the night.

[pumpkinhcad]

Wearing a whole pumpkin over his head meant that getting flicked, even with talons, did not hurt. Ow! Still, because he wore a whole pumpkin over his head, the resulting CLACK! was sharp, and loud. Needless to say-- ❝ But that's why we're here! ❞ --he did not like that very much. And now he was the one sulking, pouting, rubbing his forehead a bit.

Yuuuup. These two were not beating the peer pressure allegations. Much less when the younger of the two kept digging a deeper hole for them. But he totally was not the one in charge of this operation, no. Had he not still have twenty-five minutes worth of shift left, Kevin would have said something; but a picture said more than a thousand words, and their interactions made that crystal clear.

Hands interlaced together over the counter, the clerk must have looked like a judge in the teenager's hypothetical Talent Contest or whatever. But on the contrary: he lost nothing in entertaining such a notion, just like he had done countless times before. Call it a way to reward these kids for all the free advertisement. A secret that would rather take to the grave than letting his boss find out.

A snicker. ❝ Black licorice? ❞ A daring request. ❝ Well aren't you two lucky? That's all I've got left in stock. ❞ Of course, one good look at him, and around the store, said it all: Kevin was pulling their legs here, and he made it very obvious. ❝ I'll get you two bags, on the house. ❞ Anyone with two eyes should be able to see that, right?

Well-- ❝ Um... ❞ --perhaps only most people would be able to tell. The mere mention of black licorice already had Pump wanting to literally and figuratively pull Susie away from the conversation. ❝ W-we're good, Kevin, we can wait until there's other candy. ❞ The monster might have failed to scare him earlier, but black poison? It sent chills! BAD CHILLS!! Down his spine!

Watching the other lean behind the counter, out of sight, had the seven-year-old on edge, an uneasy squiggly line drawn across his mask. Oh no!! He looked like he was join to jump out of frame, like a cat upon spotting a cucumber behind it, if two literal bags full of black licorice were to be placed on top of the counter right then and there. Kevin would NEVER give them poison!!

Of course, this was all for dramatic effect, for it took Kevin a few seconds to re-emerge... holding a small batch of candy bars in his hands.

❝ Good enough. ❞ He was going to hand them over, no strings attached, until he interjected: ❝ BUT! Just this once. ❞ Only then, he let them have them, two candy bars each. ❝ Don't make it a habit. ❞ Here was hoping this girl did not suffer from a nut allergy. Or could eat chocolate. He had to watch out with how different most of the monsters living in that town were.

susie side - eyes pump all the while as he explains their tentative team up to the clerk . she grumbles lowly when the twerp meets her gaze , hurriedly glancing back to kevin with a sour look --- hackles raising as he yuks it up . folding her arms across her chest and leaning in a little , teeth bared , she's quick to protest ,

" hey , he didn't MAKE me do anything !! do i LOOK like i could get bossed around by some little pumpkin PUNK ?? I JUST GOT DONE SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF HIM !! " ( kevin had better IGNORE how quickly she caved to scooping pump up if he knows what's good for him . )

it's hard to regard the guy with any true contempt nonetheless ; really seems like he understands her position here . despite her contrary splutter , the dragon knows good and well the twerp KINDA boxed her into this . not ENTIRELY , though , arright ?! she's got her OWN motivations here and they're most of the reason she ALLOWED this to transpire at all .

( give her the goddamn free candy already . the sooner she sees the back of this mortifying interaction , the better . )

... still . it's sort of --- cool , that these two aren't shrinking away , screaming in terror at the mere sight of her . even DESPITE her best efforts , mind you . now , she can't bring herself to admit that . can't let it soften her too much , either . yet it gives susie pause all the same .

" ... " he'll SERIOUSLY cough up if she just musters a little civility ?? seems like a pretty questionable business practice , honestly ... but she wouldn't run a place like this any BETTER . susie would just chow down on all the stock and write it all off as , uh . taxes , expenses stuff to make it a free gorge session . heheheh .

( that IS how it works , right ? hell if she knows any particulars . )

she rolls her eyes , peeking at the look on pump's face . man , the kid's RELENTLESS . slanting her eyes in disapproval of his lecture , she flicks him in the forehead of the mask with a clawed talon , sneering --- before appearing to concede .

" ... ... ... SO . pump said something about free candy . and it would be cool as hell , if you handed some over . uh . like , right goddamn now . "

a beat . susie appears to consider her own strategy , brows pinching ... and averts her gaze .

" ... ... ... even the lame disgusting crap nobody wants anyway , like BLACK LICORICE would be , uh . fine . eurgh . or all the sweets that've fallen on the floor during the day , or whatever . please . "

ITTT’SSSSS TUEESDAAAAAY!!!

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!

....angst. The start of angst. *nods*

[screamingaboutaceattorney]

which culprits were executed?

disclaimer i know nothing about actual law and did no research for this post which i feel fits the spirit of the franchise so i will not apologize for it. also i did not include perjury charges because no one has ever been charged for that in these fucking games

ideas under the cut because spoilers or whatever and also there's so many of these bitches oh my fucking god

frank sahwit: no, i don't think so. he killed one person in a panic, and aside from that he was just a petty burglar. probably a decade or two in jail, but he's getting out eventually (plus, we did see him in the imprisoned turnabout, and he seemed to be doing just fine)

redd white: unfortunately, no. blackmailing most of la and killing mia is probably not an executionable offense :( i'd imagine life in prison, if not 50 years or so. depends on his lawyer, honestly

dee vasquez: i'd say no. yes, she blackmailed people and had mafia connections, but she killed hammer in self defense. a good few decades behind bars, and then she'll be back to producing movies with the same dramatics as always (someone is probably going to keep a closer eye on that, though)

yanni yogi: prooooobably not? he killed hammond, yeah, but was at least slightly coerced into it, and based on his confession in turnabout goodbyes, probably plead guilty this time! fairly certain he'll just get a life sentence

manfred von karma: hell yes. he killed a man in cold blood over what most people would consider an inconvenience, covered it up for fifteen years, assaulted maya and phoenix (which they probably pressed charges for), and probably forged evidence (he definitely got jeff master's confession under duress, at least, even if it was orchestrated by blaise). even beyond all that, though, we know he's dead by bridge to the turnabout (maybe earlier, i don't remember off the top of my head)

damon gant: yuuuup. he killed two people, forged loooooots of evidence, blackmailed the chief prosecutor, and did so all as the chief of police (except the first murder, i guess). he's gonna hang for that

richard wellington: nah. similar to sahwit, he was a petty criminal who killed someone in a panic to keep his other crimes a secret. he'll be out of prison in like 25 years

mimi miney: this one's tough, but i think no. did she kill thirteen people? yes, she did. however, the first twelve were because she was overworked and exhausted and made a mistake, while the last one was something she did out of desperation to keep her secret from getting out. she's probably got a good 20-30 years behind bars, but she'll get out eventually

acro: nope, nope, no way is he being executed. he intended to kill regina, sure, but definitely not russell. i'd imagine the rest of the circus vouched for him at his trial, too. on top of that, he's already disabled. probably got a solid 20 or so years in prison, but that's it

matt engarde: shockingly (maybe), no! he's an all-around godawful person, but kidnapping a girl and hiring an assassin (and then blackmailing said assassin) probably doesn't warrant the death penalty. i imagine he would've asked for life in prison, too, given the... situation he was in regarding de killer

dahlia hawthorne: canonically executed, which is a big plot point. don't think i need to elaborate here

luke atmey: no? he killed bullard because he was being blackmailed, blackmailed ron delite because he was being blackmailed, and then was also a phantom thief. don't think he's gonna die for any of that

furio tigre: i'm gonna say no. he killed glen elg, was a loan shark, had ties with the mob, and assaulted phoenix, but i imagine that just got him a hefty prison sentence

godot: absolutely not. he's canonically disabled and only killed misty to protect maya. if anyone's getting out of this with just a fine, it's him

kristoph gavin: empathetically yes. forging evidence, killing two people, attempting to kill a third... he's getting the noose, no questions asked

alita tiala: don't think so. she killed meraktis, but he did try to kill her first. also had ties to the mob, but the kitakis openly hate her now, so i don't think that matters as much. three decades in prison, tops

daryan crescend: HARD maybe. he killed letouse, blackmailed machi, and smuggled the cocoons, but he's also a celebrity and a police officer and was being kinda blackmailed about the cocoons. depends on his lawyer and how hard interpol pushes for his execution. i could see it going either way

ted tonate: no, but he probably is getting a life sentence for killing arme, assaulting apollo, and setting off a bomb in an occupied courtroom while a trial was in session

florent l'belle: i don't think so, no. he can only be charged with killing kyubi since perjury isn't a thing in ace attorney, so he's probably got 50 years to a life sentence, since he did kill the mayor of a village and also caused environmental damage with all the fucking perfume (he did get sued for that one, though).

aristotle means: gonna say no here. just because he accepted bribes and instilled his students with shit values doesn't mean any of that is necessarily a crime (the bribes thing might be but hell if i'm gonna check), so it's really just killing one person that he's being charged with. his sentence might be longer depending on klavier, though, since he was expressly close with constance courte and is well respected in the legal system (as well as an actual fucking celebrity)

the phantom: if simon blackquill was gonna hang for killing metis and stealing a psychological profile while pleading guilty, there's no fucking way this guy's escaping the noose

marlon rimes: canonically, no! that death was a full-on accident, and phoenix argued for him to receive help instead of conviction. he'll be fine

pees'lubn andistan'dhin: given that they were going to execute a nine-year-old for this crime, yeah he's gonna die

roger retinz: don't think so, no. troupe gramarye was fucked up, and he continued the trend, but i don't think he'll die for it. depends on who prosecutes his trial though, since he framed trucy for it and she is the little darling of the legal system (who is not very involved in the legal system)

geiru toneido: probably not. she killed taifu on purpose, sure, but over a misunderstanding. i'd imagine she'll be fine and out of jail in a few decades

paul atishon: god i wish, but no. being a politician an asshole isn't a crime, and i don't think archie buff's death is something he'll get the death penalty for

ga'ran sigatar khura'in: i have NO IDEA if she'll be executed or not. she's responsible for countless deaths (and lots of treason), yes, but she IS still royalty. i'd like to say yes, but that's not something i'm super confident in

pierce nichody: probably not, given that gloomsbury's death was an accident and he didn't succeed with killing ellen. depends on if the sprockets press charges, given that they're pretty rich and influential

jacques portsman: don't think so. i'm fairly certain that faith's murder and his involvement in the smuggling ring don't add up to the death penalty

cammy meele: nahhh. she's involved with the smuggling ring again, but she killed hicks in a panic. she'll probably be fine

lance amano/ernest amano: you have no idea how desperately i wish i could say these fuckers got the noose, but i unfortunately can't. organized crime + a fake kidnapping + involvement in the smuggling ring + a few deaths =/= execution

calisto yew: yeah i'd say so. she killed at least two people, was involved in the smuggling ring, was a member of a vigilante group, and attempted to shoot kay. lang and edgeworth are getting her in the noose if it kills them

quercus alba: yuuup. part of the smuggling ring, killed people, abused his diplomatic immunity, had a cross examination that lasted too long... he's gonna hang for that last offense alone /j

horace knightley: i would not think so, but i could be wrong! i think the biggest thing in regards to his execution would be if "di-jun huang" pushed for it, but roland killed him so it's a moot point anyways

patricia roland: yeah. everyone involved in the ss-5 plot is gonna hang, no questions asked

dane gustavia: i'm going to tentatively say yes? given that he caused the is-7 incident, which led to the dl-6 incident, which led to... many things, plus the fact that he fled the country for a while, he's probably gonna hang for that. could be wrong, though!

blaise debeste: dear god yes. not only did he kill jill crane, he was involved in ss-5, forged a shitload of evidence, has made many people "disappear" (they're probably all dead), and not to mention sebastian :( he's gonna hang and i'm gonna enjoy it

simon keyes: probably not? given that he's only directly responsible for one death and was a victim of circumstances, i imagine he'll get a life sentence, but nothing more

[uncertainmagia]

AAAAHHHH Charalá!! Thank you so much for bringing her to life, it's so awesome to get to *see* her!!

Charalá and Aketzali, like Magda and Saúl, are two of several ancient spirits in Uncertain Magia. While Magda and Saúl take inspiration from caimans and African mythology/Colombian folktales respectively, Charalá and Aketzali...

I'mma be real. Charalá and Aketzali are here because my sapphic self wanted a butch4butch couple in Huerto Viejo and after brainstorming with my friends I became obsessed with the idea of LIBRARY POSSUM SPIRIT GFS

I ended up falling into a huuuuge rabbit hole?? Which I absolutely must share. Join me, friends, on the hunt for a legit Colombian cryptid.

First step:

Okay, so northern gracile opossum. If you speak Spanish, you know *exactly* why I chose this specific possum. (Yes, I am an absolute gremlin. Context for non-Spanish speakers: the second word in its scientific name is the same word as a Spanish slur for gay people. Get reclaimed.)

However, when I looked up northern gracile opossum:

All right, these all look pretty similar, right?

Except. One says Brazilian gracile opossum, and the other two say agile gracile opossum.

And if you go to the first link, even that isn't the northern gracile possum.

It's a whole genus, and that picture also shows the agile gracile opossum.

The only reason this is an issue is that I'm trying really hard to narrow this down to specifically Colombian wildlife, and the habitat of the agile gracile possum doesn't quite include Colombia.

Back to the wikipedia page on the whole genus.

So there are several species here, with relatively close-by if not overlapping habitats.

I want to take a moment to emphasize this.

The northern gracile opossum has one of the smallest ranges, if wikipedia is to be trusted. Which. Which is another rabbit hole I need to circle back to, before I'm done researching.

At this point, though, I was still pretty confident.

Oh ho ho: the hubris. Behold, a preview.

At first, however, there were good signs:

We start to get to the root of the issue at the reproduction section. (No, the joke I'm building up to is not some weird possum mating thing. As my friends quote Pattern from Stormlight Archive, and as I cannot resist quoting despite not having read beyond WoK: NO MATING)

Huh, no info at all.

Oh heck. No info again.

Yuuuup.

Alright, alright. Well, very little info on this site about the northern gracile opossum. That's fine.

(Although this had me scratching my head. If there so many of them, why is there so little info?)

I start looking for photos, since all the photos that showed up in my first search were of related species like agile gracile possum.

However:

Almost *every* single image I find online is a different possum.

I decide to try Google Scholar, with the following results.

As before, the results are either different related species. Or, when it is the northern gracile opossum... absolutely no info.

Heckin.

Colombian.

Cryptid.

I'm so sorry for technically possum-fishing you @temporary-tats with the photo refs I sent, but those were all agile gracile possums.

This tiny, adorable possum broke me. It's the first time I ever used a reference of a different species in Uncertain Magia lore notes. For the sake of my sanity, I must assume northern and agile possums are similar.

For now.

I am still far, far too stubborn to let Charalá be anything other than a northern gracile opossum spirit. I will find a photo of this possum. I will find information on it.

One day, possum.

A ko-fi roulette request from @uncertainmagia of their OC, Charalá! Thank you for your support <3

This was a super fun request to do, really love how this one turned out! (And loving the new pencil brush I've been using as well - let me know what you guys think of it!)

Per usual, do not reupload without credit/permission. Thank you folks!

(My ko-fi, should you wish!)

fucking amazing job to the cast and crew again. holy fucking shit.

i’m obsessed.

[caatws]

I honestly think things went south for Gamora because all creative parties involved (Russo's, Gunn, the writers etc) were so focused on the big splash and shock and awe that would be created when Thanos killed Gamora they never stopped to think about the ramifications for her character, arc or how it would influence audience reception to her. I think this tends to be a problem across the board with how easily women are killed off to create drama, angst or some big stepping stone for other characters.

I also think Gunn didn't think about the ramifications when writing Gamora's more limited role and arc in vol 3. There is no way he's unaware of how he created confusion with the not dead comments and he has to know he didn't explore how anyone but Peter felt about her life and death. He's not stupid and he's written her role much better than this in vol 1 and 2. He's written the aftermath of a character dying better before too. He chose not to focus on her. He took shortcuts. Saying this doesn't invalidate the things he's done well with Gamora before. It's not all mutually exclusive. It does no good to blame everything on Infinity War when Infinity War isn't why Gunn chose she's dead to us as one of the responses to what's going on with Gamora instead of I'm sorry you're hurting. It's also silly to pretend Gamora having a relationship with the guardians doesn't matter when if she had no relationship to Peter or Nebula she wouldn't have had any focus at all in vol 3. She spent most of her time with the guardians because they're the stars of the movie. The different relationships the characters have with eachother has been one of the main talking points of fan reactions. Many people get stuck on the idea that single lady equals strong character and that's needs to stop. Gamora wasn't stronger in vol 3 because she didn't get back with Peter. It's not stronger to have less screentime, development, interactions with characters and to have some people leave the theater not knowing if you're a different version of yourself or have amnesia. It's also not stronger to be missing from merch.

Peter and Gamora didn't end up being endgame and that's okay but it gives me a headache seeing people pretend shipping doesn't matter in fandom when it's what makes up a large portion of fandom. We could get into a philosophical debate about if that's good or bad but the reality is many female characters sink or swim in fandom based on if people think they're worth shipping or if they have a canon relationship people get attached to. That's if they aren't being tossed aside from their relationship by fandom so some other man to get all the focus. Fandom has been trying to ignore or toss aside Gamora from day one. That's doesn't mean the canon had to go in a different direction but people do need to be honest that some fans were quick to think that's means she's not worth investing in anymore and think up new people that have to be with Peter because for some reason he deserves a love life while she doesn't.

yuuuup to everything here

Not the tone of that "immigrants did it" anon reminding me of some other denialist Turks I know as well as my ultra-nationalist QAnon-style relatives who get all their information from the Russian Internet. If you have to blame immigrants, you lose the argument automatically.

Turkey is considered a First World country mostly because that tends to mean "aligned with NATO" rather than "life is good for the majority of people," which it most definitely isn't (women especially). So it's the First/Second/Third World classification system that is to blame here.

Also, Turks absolutely committed genocide with the Armenians and anyone trying to call it something else is drinking the nationalist Kool-Aid. The anti-American argument is that Americans are also guilty of plenty of genocide that was crucial to nation building, but it doesn't get talked about in the same way. Which is 100% true but also beside the point.

Fun fact, Turkey is considered an oppressor by my people because it occupied us for centuries (far longer, in fact, than the US has been a country). A big part of why we are so historically unstable is because of the Turks. People still go there on vacation and watch the soaps, though. The soaps aren't even good.

Yuuuup. The US sucks. "But they're worse" is not an argument for anything.

[hyba]

Yuuuup, agreed. Seeing it become a part of job requirements is disheartening, and sort of makes you feel like you're fighting a losing battle that you never thought you'd have to fight in the first place. I am also sad that it was never introduced to the world carefully, with a studied and analyzed impact such that people were actually taught, "Hey btw this thing is really powerful but you have to use it ethically and here's how."

Like, you don't make a chainsaw and then let people go ham; you have to show and teach them how to use it in a way that isn't all Texas Chainsaw Massacre and destruction. Bad analogy probably but you know what I mean? Like, as a tool used ethically I'm sure it could be awesome. It could actually do so much for the world when used judiciously and within certain restrictions. But they went straight into the unethical and downright destructive stuff really quick.

I see its merits, but just as I see those merits, I see countless pitfalls. The way I see it, the concerns people have aren't exaggerated. Society is going to see the ramifications of this movement, whether we like it or not, and everyone will be affected, whether pro, anti, or ambiguous in their stance. It's just the way that it is 🤷‍♀️ We get very little say in how the cookie crumbles, especially when someone took a hammer to it before we even knew what was happening.

Exhausting. Too many words. And it's probably all been said ad nauseam already. Not sure where we're headed but I assure you we are headed there together. Maybe that, at least, is some kind of comfort 😅

I tried AI for the first time...

Hm.

I tried AI today for the first time, and gave it a prompt to outline an article, and then to draft the article. I've never generated any writing with AI before, other than a few bits of AI art back when it was a sparkly new thing, and even then it felt... odd. I've had very definite thoughts about it, and since someone wanted me to use it for a job-related task, I decided to try it out and see what everyone was so addicted to.

First thoughts:

It's surprisingly good at understanding complex prompts. I actually didn't expect it to pick up on a few things I put in the prompt, but it managed to touch upon every single point. I thought I might confuse it, but apparently not.

It provides a clear and concise draft, which I also didn't expect. It reads smoothly, and there's a logic to the way the information is presented.

I'm not really liking the final results, though, because they still feel a bit bare, and that's probably a good thing because at least it means that it could still benefit from the human touch.

It's painfully reminiscent of every single article I come across online these days, making me wonder just how many bloggers, magazines, and websites are using AI to generate their content.

Not only does it feel a bit bare-bones, it's also very surface-level in the content provided. I wonder if that's just the limitations of my prompt in the works, of if it's a legitimate concern with content generated by AI. Both would explain the dismal quality of some of the traffic-sucking AI-generated content out there in the web: people not knowing how to prompt the AI software well enough, and people just taking whatever it spouts out and copy-pasting it without any additional effort added.

The single most worrying thing for me, though, is that it used 3 sources. One of them was a book on Amazon; I still don't know if the AI had access to that whole book or if it just grabbed something from the summary. Another one was legit, as far as I could tell, and the author was an expert in his field. Unfortunately, his expertise wasn't in the subject area I was looking for. And the last one was interesting, because the author wasn't an expert, but the article anyway was more of an opinion piece. I don't know how I feel about this selection of sources; I don't think any teacher would have passed me if I wrote a paper using only these three sources in high school, let alone college.

All of that being said, I understand now the addiction of it. How quickly it wrote a whole article for me, and not a bad one, either - with a little more tweaking and a little more depth and analysis here and there, and some new sources, the article could be very good. I suppose that's essentially a rewrite... So you get a backbone/skeleton, generated in a matter of seconds, and I think the ideal approach is then to fix it up and add a lot more content, since it doesn't look like it really goes in much depth? I wonder if this is what the workflow looks like for someone who uses AI for their copywriting. Or if they just copy paste and call it a job well done. (That can't possibly work though, right? Like, people can tell, I think?)

I know my standpoint on this, but outside right/wrong, I'm afraid this isn't going to go away anytime soon, with capabilities like this. Which means... Well, I'm a little worried and a little unsure what this means. Already I'm seeing job posts for jobs that never included the term AI before, now placing it as a requirement. I think we're definitely entering a time where it won't be about whether or not you like or support it; it'll be something imposed upon you by your employers, so that you can churn out more, and be more productive, and positively impact their bottom line.

So, those were my immediate thoughts after using AI to generate a whole article.

...And then I asked it to write a story.

Specifically, I asked it to write Apartment as a short story.

Check it out.

Smallville 1x02

first of all: bugs. why. pls no.

second, DID HE JUST KILL HIS MOM

I also find it funny how when bug boy stalks Lana the shows makes sure you know it's the creepiest shit ever (which it totally is) but when Clark watches her through his telescope I'm supposed to think "aw, look at this sweet sad boy and his unrequited crush :'("

I love Clark, like that's my son but come on now

Also that Lex and Lana interaction? Knowing what I know, creepyyyy (though he's a real one for snitching on Whitney)

Lex: "If you hadn't pulled him out of that truck, your problems would be solved"

...

"I'm kidding of course." ARE U LEX👀

"so you'd rather spend time with him? Is he more important than me?" Dudebug, Bugdude, you're not even friends with Lana, wtf is this entitlement?? Lana bestie, run

Clark trying to straighten his flannel before going up to Lana, lmaooo

"fortress of solitude" he's so angsty, same tho💀

Lana: "Did u know you can see my house from here?"

Clark: "NO. Really???"

DUDEEE STOPPP💀💀💀

Ok but Lana wearing a piece of the meteor that killed her parents, they're both angsty asf, like jeez

Bugdude again, being gross in the shower🤢 I can't believe he's the guy from the Homecoming episode

Martha being sassy with Jonathan, okokokok😌 she needs more screentime

Jonathan ruffling Clarks hair like that😭😭

"Chloe I could never outgrow you. Other than vertically." *adorable grin*

Chloe spot on with those theories, I see u Sherlock😌

THIS IS ADORABLE, LOOK AT THEM DOING DETECTIVE WORK TOGETHER🥹

Clark being afraid of heights lmaoooo

"I didn't believe (the treehouse) was structually sound." pls i love him

Yuuuup, he killed his mom💀

"it's too late Whitney, she's mine now." LANA GET BEHIND ME, I'LL SHIELD YOU FROM THOSE ENTITLED CREEPY MFS

EEEEEEWWW

I don't want to praise Clark too much for returning the necklace to Lana even though he knows he'll be sick around her because it's what he should do, BUT since the bar is pretty low: You did good Clark, that was very selfless and sweet of you, I'm proud.

Do we get an update on Greg or his mom in future episodes? Because I have QUESTIONS

I don't know if any of this is coherent, also WOW this is long

Celeste x reader x Kirigiri SFW & NSFW head-canons

request; celeste x reader x kirigiri? :o

warnings; fluff, i really don’t think there’s any explicit warnings in the sfw part, nsfw section: handcuffs, edging, i didn’t put any explicit descriptions of sex nor scenarios, degrading names, gn!reader, vanilla, mention of vampire roleplay, biting, unedited.

note; sorry i took so long!! I had to study their wiki pages and shit to remember their characters, its been some time since I’ve played THH. anyway, thank you for requesting. also sorry if this was a bit lazy, i feel like i didn’t do this one as well as the others, i’m really sorry.

≈SFW≈

◊ Okay, I feel like Celestia would be the one to spoil the both of you rotten. She’s always buying all three of you matching clothes so you could go out together looking ✨fly✨

◊ If you or Kyoko ever tried denying her outfits, she’d be a bit flustered and upset though she wouldn’t show it. Buuut eventually, you both cave in because you can notice the difference in her attitude, however slight it may be.

◊ “S/o, Kyoko, my darlings. I may have gotten carried away, but I think you both would look wondrous in these- Oh. You don’t… want them? I see. *sad face* Alright then, I guess I’ll just… I..” Yuuuup, you broke her. Congratulations, you jerk. 

◊ Whatever gender you may be, it doesn’t matter, she will buy you a huge fluffy dress (But if you’re not comfortable with it, she’d totally be willing to get you something else).

◊ Celestia calls you both her darlings. She’s always saying hers, or mine in front of your names and/or pet names.

◊ Kyoko isn’t big on pet names, whether she’s on the receiving end or serving; though she doesn’t mind it when either of you calls her one. Just nothing too ridiculous, she’ll flush an adorable shade of red but scold you for it later. She prefers just calling you both by name.

◊ The caring one of the relationship would either have to be you or Celestia. Kyoko doesn’t take care of herself too well, as she’s very passionate about her job; so passionate to the point where she forgets that she’s human and that her very human body needs food and sleep.

◊ Celestia takes care of herself extremely well, I imagine she has a very strict skin routine and diet. But since she’s also passionate about her job, I imagine there would be times where a round of gambling goes extremely long or tie, but she’d be very adamant on winning so she’d go a little over the top and stay there for days, weeks if she had to. 

◊ That being said, they are both very passionate about their jobs so I feel that they are unfortunately prone to neglecting you at times. But don’t worry! They always make it up to you 10x more, and it’s always worth it.

◊ Kyoko would probably make it up to you both by trying to be a bit more affectionate with you. She is well aware that she isn’t always affectionate, so she thinks if she gives you guys a bit more affection, you’ll forgive her? ...Please?

◊ Bbgirl is trying-

◊ Most likely though, she’d talk to you first. A formal apology and everything, if you’re lucky, she’ll buy you a stuffed animal or flowers as she apologizes. 

◊ Since Celestia is just, a very fancy and aesthetic person, I feel like all dates with her would reflect that same fancy aesthetic. She goes out of her way to set up a fancy table at a reserved place where none of you can be disturbed. Expensive teas, china, scones, sweets, those little stands with the layers of pastries; she has it all ready for you two. 

◊ You’d all be sitting on cute chairs sipping tea in cute cups, butlers at your every need, it’s a really cute almost dream-like date. Kyoko would talk about her cases(leaving out things that are confidential of course,) you’d talk about everything and anything, and Celestia would just quietly listen to you both talk, a small smile adorning her face. She loves taking care of the both of you, the reason why she has dates like these are for, 

She wants to spend time with her darlings because she misses them.

She wants you both to relax and destress, she hates the idea of either of you overworking or forgetting to take care of yourself.

◊ Though if you’re not into that, the closest thing that isn’t fancy or organized(though it would take some time for her to practice not being organized) would be a picnic date. With a very very wide blanket. That’s thick. And lots of bug spray. 

◊ Dates with Kyoko would probably be short coffee breaks, she doesn’t have a lot of time sadly, so halfway through the date, she finishes her coffee and leaves early, leaving you and Celestia to spend the rest of the time together.

◊ Dates with her would mostly just be when all three of you go to bed, talking about each other’s days or just talking about stuff that has zero meaning as you all fall asleep.

◊ It kind of makes her a bit upset when you and Celestia have an inside joke or seem a bit closer; as much as she loves seeing you both happy with each other, she can’t help but want to be in on it too. She feels a bit guilty for being so busy with her job.

◊ So when she does feel a bit left out, I think a way to make her feel more included would be small little ‘I love you’ texts while she’s working or even better, surprising her by picking her up on her lunch date to get a quick lunch. 

◊ I think something domestic Kyoko enjoys a lot, is when either of you cooks a bento for her. You can really cook something terrible for her, or even ugly, she doesn’t care; she loves it so much. It’s the thought that you would cook for her that gets her. When she comes back home, the first thing she will do is thank you and hug you real tight. It’s one of the more rare moments where she actually displays feelings of love and gratitude.

◊ Despite getting judgemental looks from Byakuya and aw’s from Hina, in the end, Kyoko doesn’t care one bit. She will eat and enjoy the food in its entirety, she doesn’t care if it affects her reputation as a cold person, she just wants to eat the food.

◊ Though she is unfazed by practically everything, she gets a bit taken aback that you cooked food for her, the shock is evident on her face when you hand it to her before she goes, or drop it off at lunch hour. I don’t think she ever had anyone cook meals for her, or at least, doesn’t remember it; so she’s always pretty shocked when you do. She feels her heart palpitate a little louder and maybe smiles a little smile when you’re not looking. She appreciates it a lot.

◊ Though Celestia doesn’t cook, I think you’d have to be the one to cook for Kirigiri. Celestia enjoys gyoza a whole lot, so if you were ever to cook gyoza for her… well, she’d probably be brutally honest about what she thinks about it. Though she’d give you constructive criticism, and eventually you’d get it right through trial and error and Celestia’s taste buds.

◊ Celestia isn’t big on public areas for dates, like movie theatres, for example. If you ever wanted to watch a movie, she’d probably rent an entire movie theatre for just you three to chill in. As you can see, she’s not too big on being with large groups of people, or just anywhere that isn’t exactly ‘clean’. 

◊ I don’t think either of them would be one for PDA either. Other than mild flirting from Celestia, you all don’t do PDA at all. But there’s this intimate vibe that you all seem to share that has people assume you’re all on a date together. It’s like this bubble, it’s quite peculiar. 

◊ Celestia would never lose her cool because of you both, only for you both. But even so, she avoids losing it in front of your eyes. If she ever had to fight someone for you or intimidate them, she would probably ask you to go occupy yourselves with something else so she could go off without hesitating.

◊ Though if she was ever about to lose it and either of you notices it, a simple hold of her hand calms her down immediately. Her rage wordlessly disappears. She’ll even give you guys a small little forehead kiss in thanks.

◊ Kyoko’s an ‘it’s the thought that counts’ kind of person. So whenever you or Celestia spoil her with expensive gifts, she’ll enjoy it but she’s a bit concerned about how you’re spending so much money on her. She honestly prefers handmade gifts; whether they’re crafty or a bit imperfect, she cherishes them more than you know. 

≈NSFW≈

◊ Oh boy. *cracks knuckles* here we go.

◊ Kyoko hides her moans and expressions, she was raised not to show any unsightly emotions and so, that(sadly) comes into play in bed.

◊ Oh but Celestia teases her until she does, to get that satisfying plead out of Kyoko Kirigiri of all people, it drives her near mad in love. 

◊ Kyoko is definitely vanilla, and would probably want to stay vanilla. There aren’t many things she’s into, as a result of not knowing any kinks. I don’t think she’d be too willing to try any kinks either. Unless you explain it to her, then maybe. Just maybe. 

◊ Kyoko is a soft dom- HAH just kidding! The moment you admit just a little bit of top energy on her, she submits easily. Not in the typical way you’d think, but she’d let you do all the work, you’d have to guide her. I don’t think she has any sexual experience, so she’d have sex relying on you both(for once). 

◊ That’s where Celestia comes into play. I don’t know if this is canon or you know, but I head-canon that she has a surprising amount of sexual knowledge and kinks. 

◊ Kyoko isn’t the biggest fan of you and Celestia having intercourse without her, as I mentioned earlier, she does get a little left out, so knowing that you left her out of something as intimate as sex gets her mad for a couple of days. Even holds a small grudge. 

◊ But it wouldn’t last long, you both would eventually make it up to her since she doesn’t exactly enjoy discussing her feelings, you would have to be the one to speak up first. 

◊ Celeste would definitely ask you both if you were ever interested in trying out role-play with her, specifically; vampire role-play.

◊ Speaking of vampires, she really enjoys it when you lightly bite her. Not enough to leave a mark, if you leave marks on her she’ll get mad. Though she enjoys leaving marks on you both, she enjoys those short moments where someone stares at you guys’ hickeys and she just,, gives them a knowing, intense glare.

◊ Celestia isn’t big on degrading you both unless it’s something like, “My good little mutt.” Degrading names, sure. But not full-on degrading. She lies all the time but lying about this doesn’t sit right with her, she doesn’t want to hurt you both in any way. 

◊ Celestia enjoys being praised, it definitely gets her to spare you an orgasm if she’s edging you. You really have to praise her about everything about her for her to actually let you get off; although Kyoko is known to be silent, Celestia somehow gets her to plead for her. As a result of teasing lies like, “If you don’t obey, you won’t get to get off darling.”

◊ Celestia dominates both of you, simultaneously. Kyoko doesn’t have enough confidence in her ability to please you both to top, and unless you are somehow able to overpower her, she’s always going to be the one who orders you to do things. 

◊ I can totally imagine Kyoko littering millions of butterfly kisses on both your bodies, but they’re so soft and cute you both start to giggle a bit. “Why are you laughing? Is it bad?” She looks genuinely confused and a little sad- and then that both shocks you into showering her with reassurances, any leftover lick of laughter completely vanished.

◊ Celestia is a huge tease- like, just, the biggest tease. She’ll hover her lips over yours, blow at where you need it most, foreplay lasts longer than you would want it to, but in all honesty, it definitely makes the first stroke of pleasure well worth it. All that anticipation, build-up, is all worth it as she finally gives you what you want.

◊ Kyoko is more intimate, every moment with her is just, so full of love it gives you whiplash from Celestia’s little fun. She always has a hand on your back. It’s such a soft and fleeting touch, you both sometimes wonder if it’s even there.

◊ Something I could imagine happening is Celestia just- pulling out soft hand-cuffs from nowhere as a surprise for the two of you, asking you to tie her up. Seeing as how Kyoko is usually around handcuffs often from her detective work, she’s a little confused as to why people would get turned on from that or even introduce that to the bedroom. It’s the last thing she’d expect. She’s a bit nervous to use them(receiving and serving), and doesn’t see the purpose, but when she caves in and says yes anyway, she finds she actually likes them? 

◊ She wouldn’t admit it though. And it definitely ruins her image of handcuffs; any time she sees a perp in handcuffs, she can just see the pleased looks on your and Celestia’s faces.

◊ Celestia would look down at you with this red gaze that leaves the two of you utterly speechless and aroused, even as she’s bottoming, her piercing gaze reminds you who’s in charge.
