#‘Yknow I think my rise interest is dying down’ I say and then do this

[cryptvokeeper]

In my time honored tradition of “I like rise Leo but in a slightly to the left way of the general fanon interpretation” I propose: yes, Leo was being a bad leader and not communicating with his team during the movie because he didn’t want the responsibility of being leader HOWEVER he was not purposely self-sabotaging in an effort to get Raph to take leadership back. Instead, he was going solo and not working with anyone in order to avoid leadership altogether and not make calls and decisions that could potentially fail.

this might be very villain apologist (or perhaps ‘not a boring person’) of me but the fact that Villains* do Bad Things is automatically much more interesting and meaningful when it’s a result of an event in life that traumatized/hurt in any way a character that might have been happy, rather than when it’s just something they were born with or the way they were raised.

i’m mostly talking about meng yao, and how there are people who insist he was manipulative from the start and his only goal in looking pitiful and eating unbuttered bread** was to gain nmj’s affection and CLIMB, CLIMB THAT SOCIAL LADDER!***, but ALSO i’m talking about xue yang, whose idea of the weight of his life/body vs others’ bodies/lives is often seen as ‘oh he’s a psychopath/sociopath/there’s Something Wrong With His Head’ rather than, yknow, a result of his incredibly traumatic childhood and his way of dealing with it

this has no bearing on people’s actual irl beliefs, although of course i do have the right to just... not want to chat with someone who thinks my little boy is hands down an evil piece of trash, but i always think it’s interesting how there’s this strong need to dehumanize those you (for the lack of a better word) find Bad™, while at the same time turning a blind eye to the fact they’ve been mistreated in the past. because, of course, if someone’s been hurt, then naturally it’s our instinct to feel bad for them. but when someone’s Bad™, Bad™ since birth, then there’s nothing we, or anyone, could have done to change that, so there’s no use feeling bad for them.

even in those cases people admit that something unpleasant happened, well, it was their choice to let it affect them, right? look at wei wuxian! he’s had bad things happen to him and he turned to actively harming himself instead of others, like a normal person! see, it’s possible to turn out okay****. meng yao, sure, people told him his mom’s a ho, but did he have to be so angry about it? he could have just settled for a life of being told his mom’s a ho*****, his boss was happy with his work, isn’t that enough? instead he chose being evil, therefore, he’s Bad™. sure, xue yang lost one finger as a young boy, but couldn’t he have taken revenge of equal degree******? instead, he chose being a murderous psycho. Bad™!

it’s all very obvious, but it’s interesting.

* actually antagonists, characters whose goal is opposed to the one of our beloved protagonist, but i assume “villain” is shorter. also, thank you zhu zanjin for your service

** i understand ‘plain unbuttered bread’ might be a figure of speech, but considering meng yao was eating actual bread, did they put butter on their flatbread ~back then~? i have a feeling they didn’t

*** which, by the way, would have been valid of him. i don’t know why so many people can spit on meng yao or su she for wanting to rise above his status in one sentence and then criticize the cultivation society for how they treated wwx or the wens from dafan. the thing about the right to live comfortably and with dignity is that it should go to everyone, including people you don’t like

**** as we all know the most correct way to deal with your past is to bottle it in yourself. the second most correct way is to hurt yourself. there is no third most correct way, but there’s a most wrong way, and that is to hurt others, because that makes you an asshole, really. fuck you.

***** in which everyone collectively forgets how much it hurt to be bullied/ostracized at school, to deal with unfair teachers/superiors, and generally how fun it feels to receive daily reminders of how powerless and worthless you are

****** you know, the way noble cultivators, who’s never had to worry about dying alone in a ditch, do. because if young master X says your fighting is shit and you challenge him to a duel, and he beats your ass, then it’s super fucking embarrassing, but he does not, technically, have the right to dismember you and leave your corpse to rot and be eaten by stray dogs.

[just-a-creep-babe]

Here’s the matchup info^^. I’m a 5’5 chubby heterosexual female with semi short dyed black hair. I’m a horror movie addict and I can’t go a week without watching a horror movie. I love weirding people out and I’ll scare people for fun. I’m an extrovert and I’m not afraid of saying crazy stuff. I’m a night owl and I barely sleep. I love writing horror stories and on occasion I’ll write horror themed songs. Also, I have trust issues so it takes me awhile to attach to people.

Thank you for the commission! 💘💞💓💗💕

~Requests are closed~

Commission me here!

Masterlist: x

I match you with: Dark Link

It’s no secret Dink’s a huge flirt

So when he first starts laying the moves on you, it’s easy to brush them off as him just… being himself, ya know?

But things is,, he’s really persistent

For some reason, you’ve caught his attention, and it seems all he wants is to flirt with you

He wants to get under your skin; to find out what makes you tick, what makes you cry, what makes you smile—he wants to know how you view the world around you, yknow?

He’s almost always by your side

Even when you aren’t expecting him to be & when he… sorta shouldn’t be there

Like that time you were just taking a stroll through the woods

And all of a sudden he was just,, there right next to you?? Like he‘d been all along????

Was he following you the whole way?

He’s cool to hang out with & you’ve got a lot of common interests, but he’s just a tad bit of a creep at times

You get used to him eventually tho, considering he’s practically joined at your hip

And the flirting’s really not so bad—he can actually be pretty charming when he wants to be

His jokes are incredibly corny but his smile seems genuine enough when you groan at them, or maybe even chuckle despite yourself

He likes making you laugh a lot tbh

And he obviously really cares about you

Whenever you’re feeling down, he’s always there to listen to you vent or take your mind off things if need be

Like, he will bend over backwards if it means making you feel better—boy treats you like royalty ngl

It’s easy to tell he’s head over heels for you

If you’re still a bit wary about dating at first, he’ll understand & respect your decision

He’ll still be your best friend regardless even though he’s secretly hoping you’ll come around

He thinks he knows horror movies better than you do?

Psh nahh

You show him so much shit it actually starts giving him nightmares

Not that he’d ever admit it

Sometimes you’ll have lil “sleepovers” where you put a movie on and stay up til the sun begins to rise 

He likes staying up with you since no one can intrude & it’s guaranteed alone time

And he also doesn’t need to sleep, which is a plus

The two of you will stay up, chatting about everything & nothing and just hanging out

You have a lot of weirding-out competitions during said sleepovers

You’re better at it than he is

You guys end up giggling so much it wakes up the other creeps sometimes lmao

This bitch loves pulling pranks on people too

So if you wanna scare someone, he’s already got like,, 6 different ideas that would freak the shit out of anyone

The hardest one to scare, so far, has prolly been EJ, but you’ll get him one day

One time, after pulling off a successful heist, you ran to your room with him next to you, covering your mouth to try to stop your fit of giggles

And then he looked at you & suddenly got really serious

“I’ll wait for you, y’know. Whenever,” he flinched before correcting himself, “if… if ever you’re ready—if you think you wanna give this a shot, I’ll be right here. Just say the word”

He tries his best not to pressure you into anything

But he keeps spending time with you & caring for you until, sooner rather than later, you take him up on his offer

Boy’s over the moon when you give him a shot tbh

He’s always appreciated your extroverted nature & boldness when it comes to saying what’s on your mind

And that appreciation practically doubles when you start dating

“That’s my girl,” he’ll grin widely, sharp canines poking through his lips as he chuckles

He’ll wanna read your stories and songs too, no doubt about it

And you’ve gotta give to him, he’s just as persistent as ever

Seriously, he’ll beg if he has to to listen to you sing

Whenever he sometimes takes things too far, he knows he can rely on you to bring him back

Which is something he appreciates, since he doesn’t have to worry about overstepping boundaries & then guesstimating why you’re upset

He honestly loves you so very much—and he’s never stopped caring for you and wanting to know more about you

The only thing that’s changed over time is how his fascination has turned into genuine care & adoration

He wouldn’t leave you for anything, you never cease to take his breath away

He’s never stopped caring about you & never ever will 💕💗

Infatuation! Alexander x Seras

Seras X Anderson

Infatuation 

A/N: This kind of sort of an Au-I just came up with out of the blue, Vampire Princess Au, where Alucard doesn’t get imprisoned by Hellsing, he still loses to Van Hellsing, but manages to escape and hide away for a few decades to recover his health, or dignity, if you ask others, he remains on the down-low, eventually, he comes across little Seras among the corpses of her dead parents, dying, he takes pity on her, and turns her into a vampire, where she becomes his servant. In this Au, Seras personality is a bit different from her canon one, being a child under Dracula’s care she has somewhat of a sadistic streak, however, no where near his level of cruelty, she till struggles between being human and monster, but prefers not to dwell on it, here she kind of a spoiled princess and a bit childish, or careless in some cases. She eventually develops a strong infatuation for Anderson much to his annoyance and disgust- and constantly, finds opportunities to met him. 

“Your a very odd man, Father?”

“Shut yer trap, you vile Demoness!”

She laughs, it sounds so, sweet, yet so sinister that it makes a chill crawl up his spine.

His mouth is dry and tastes of iron, as blood oozes from lips, and cake his peril-white teeth crimson.

He spits, hoping to express his disdain for her touch.

She’s gripping his throat, her red-painted nails sink into his flesh, causing more blood to be lost, leaving his body shivering , thirsting for warmth.

Minutes pass, and all she could do is stare, almost naively and wide eye, like a child finding something that catches their curiosity, her crimson eyes shone through the veil of the night, peering into his green ones, as if searching for something, it unnerves him completely and wanted nothing more than to rip himself from her grasp and scrub himself clean of her foulness from his very skin

“Either your goin’ ta kill me, or leave me, we don’t got all day lass, and I’m growin bored.”

“Ah, your funny, father.” She smiles, tilting her head to the side, he half expects her to snap his neck, there and then, but, no, she straddles his hips , her black dress, ripples as she moves, her soft rather amble chest, squishes against his hard, firm one.

“What do ya think ya doin!” he felt panic rise in his heart

“Sitting, obviously.” she states matter of factly. 

“Get off!”he snarls. 

“No, I rather like it here.” she shakes her head, her long, golden tresses flutter around due to her motion.

He shifts- she seemed totally oblivious to his discomfort , as she leans down to nuzzle his shoulder-he shifts again, trying to buck her off his visage only then does she back up, but to his dismay, she still planted firmly on his lap. 

“Oh that’s right, your priest, don’t you guys plead celibacy or something or other.”

“So? What does that little detail concern you in the least.” 

“No need to be asshole about it, I was just asking.” she appeared slight offended-though in this situation she should be the last person -upset-at this moment.

“I have no interest in engaging in bodily sin, not like the likes of you, vampire whore who goes around flaunting her flesh at every opportunity.” his glance towards the high-slit in her dress, though to be fair she was wearing stockings underneath. 

“Am a virgin.” her brows furrow a little, his insult apparently, flying over her head.

“I didn’t ask”

“Yknow, your really rude.”

“Says the filthy monster with its hands around my neck.”

“Well, I can’t give you the chance to stake me, now can I.” she snickers mockingly-a uncomfortable pause follows, well, mostly on his part.

 She moves closer, her cold breath brushes against his face.

“Have you ever been kissed, Mr . Anderson?” He gashed his teeth.

“No. Nor do I ever wished to be, at least not by you.”

“Oh, but I like you, father, your rather interesting, I can see why my master has taken a liking to you.”

“Get off!”

“Let’s make a deal then- let me kiss you and I leave and don’t strangle you, what do you say?”

“I rather burn in hell.”

“Hmmm?”  He doubted that she listened and leaned down anyways, her long hair, tickling his face-She presses her red lips to his, it was chaste and innocent, and soft, her eyes were shut, her blushing cheeks a little puffed, his eyes however remained shot open in disbelief which morphed into disgust-he kept his mouth clamped shut, trying to jerk his head away, sadly, for him at least her grip stayed iron.

It felt never ending- having this-this monster defile his mouth, but it was only, but a minute, she finally releases his lips, her cheeks unbelievably flushed, and her golden eyes shimmered with an emotion he rather not name, she once again smiles, so genuine and so sweet, his lips twisted in scowl. 

“ See it wasn’t that bad, Mr.Anderson.” he’s instantly disturbed by her rather chipper attitude, despite having both her hands and fingers in bedded into the flesh of his neck. 

“ Go to hell!” he hissed. 

“ Awww, still, so mean.” she pouts “I-”

She stops half way her, her gazes drifts around, until they focus back on him, and then she frowns.

“ Looks, like I have to go, now.” 

“ So, soon.” he spats. 

“ Oh, well, hopefully we’ll see each other again!” 

“ Oh, what joy.”

 “ Bye-bye, Mr.Anderson.” and before he knew it a sound of snapping bones filled his eyes, and everything went dark.

When Anderson returns, he returns with a yard long glimmer in his eyes, and his clothes torn and shredded.

“ Well.” he glances to his side to see Maxwell crosses his arms impatiently.

“ The mission was a failure.” he was in no mode to deal with Maxwell,his body ached, and his shoulders felt heavy with exhaustion, he’ll give a full report later, right now all he wanted to do is throw himself on top his mattress, and fall in a deep slumber for the next couple of days.

He lumbers right past the younger man without another word-

“ Anderson!” his words go right over his head. 

Maxwell could only pinch the bridge of his nose and fume in silence

Later, that night both Yumie and Henkiel were pretty sure Father Anderson spend the majority of the night gargling-

They both shrugged -Yumie suggested that maybe he caught a sore throat- to which Henkiel disregarded “ Father Anderson’s re-generator,Yumie, he shouldn’t be able to catch a cold-gold fish.”

“ Gold-fish-I guess your right.” she picks another card from the deck.

Little did both Yumie and Henkiel know, they were the furthest from the truth.
