imo the increasing popularity of rpf is a sign of the tumblr population aging. every day i log in and have to look at ugly men from 20-2000 years ago and i'm like yeah, well, this is just culture. it's like reading the new yorker. do i care about it? no. but it does make me feel cosmopolitan. do you think tumblrinas in 2012 would have cared about the franklin expedition. no. they had the bishounen from free exclamation mark. they had bbc sherlock

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

10,30 for del x vee pls :3???

Tysm for the asks <;3 @themightiestpotato and @caffeinatedrogue

Sorry these took so long! Answers below!

10: What was their last big fight? What did they learn from it?

Delamain's mainframe was sieged by some rogue Netwatch agents. He locked Vee out to protect her, but Vee brute forced herself in just in time to take the full brunt of an attack that would have left Delamain extremely vulnerable. It almost zeroed her, but thankfully she survived- even if all her cyberware was burnt to an absolute crisp.

It's one of the only times Vee and Delamain were actively furious with one another. But in the end, Delamain realized that he needed to trust Vee when she wanted to help, and Vee had to understand that she was not the expendable merc she'd spent most of her life as.

15: What habits or characteristics have they picked up from each other?

Delamain has relaxed quite a bit and seeks to do things for his own enjoyment rather than stick to the strictures of his very rigid subprotocols. He's started watching tv shows and even enjoys some of them. (Which always shocks his clientele when he's up to date on the big serials).

Oh, and he's started adding gold accents to his getup.

Vee, on the other hand, has learned to be much more strict. As a merc (and a cheap one at that), she was the epitome of 'beggars can't be choosers.' Delamain taught her to be a chooser, to be a little entitled with the quality of the clothing she wears or the food she eats. She's realized that sometimes saving money for your own material benefit really does increase mental health in the long run.

And her lipstick is now the Iconic Delamain Blue.

30: Where is their relationship the strongest?

Their biggest strength is not just in their relationship but in their partnership. They understand one another really well, so there's almost never any friction between them, and what seems like diametrically opposing traits actually support the other really well. They just fit really well together.
