#LOOKIT HIMS F A C E

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

You guys really got me to one thousand likes in less than two days.

I don't even know what's happening but it's pulling me out of a really awful writer's block.

I have more ideas than I know what to do with so expect a good bit of content in the future.

You're all incredible 💗 ❤️

Have some Shanks headcanons, ranging from fluffy to spicy. As a treat.

I was a little iffy about Live Action Shanks at first, since he was literally my first manga/anime crush ever. But he grew on me more with every scene.

Especially that final scene where he saw Luffy's wanted poster. I mean....

Lookit that smile 🥹

So anyway.

LA!Shanks X Fem!Reader

Shanks A — Z

A — Afterglow (How are they after sex?)

Holding you close and telling you how much he adores you.

He's going to give you anything you want. Anything.

"Do you need anything, sweetheart? I've got you."

You want a bath, he's going to run it for you, carry you there once it's ready, and help you bathe.

Food or a drink, you just lay down, he's got it.

Shanks is completely and utterly devoted to making you feel like a goddess after sex.

Showering you with soft, tender kisses and caresses and endless praise, rubbing his fingers between your wet folds to prolong your pleasure as long as possible.

If it seems like he's trying to coax you into another round, he probably is. Your're going to have to outright tell him you're if spent, because he can't get enough of you.

B — Backrubs? (Do they like them? Like giving them?)

You can expect it nightly. You're his princess and he's going to pamper you.

He might only have one hand, but dear gods those fingers are magic.

He's not asking anything in return, but if you're offering then he isn't going to turn you down.

Closing his eyes and groaning as your fingers work through the tension in his muscles.

"Oh, you're too good for me, love."

C — Cuddling (Do they enjoy cuddling a lot ot only at certain moments?)

If you're within arm's reach, then Shanks has his arm around you.

His main mode of affection is physical.

Pulling you you to his side, resting his head over yours, tugging you down onto his lap.

He wants you close, as much and as often as you're willing to be, and he does't give a damn who sees.

D — Dance (Are they good at it? Do they enjoy it?)

Not really big on dancing, but if you want to he isn’t going to turn you down.

He'll take any excuse he can get to hold you close.

Tucking your hair behind your ear so he can rest his temple against yours.

His arm curled loosely around your back.

E — Extravagant Gestures (Things they do to make you feel loved)

He would literally move mountains for you if he could.

You tell him your dreams, well now they're his dreams too.

Anything you accomplish, whether alone or with his help, warrants the most lavish of celebrations.

He isn’t particularly materialistic, but what his princess wants, she gets, no questions asked.

"If you wanted the moon, I would make this ship fly so you could stake your claim."

F — Fighting (How do they hand arguments/apologies?)

All puppy-dog eyes and pouts.

Shanks makes it impossible to stay mad at him for any reasonable length of time. He's just too damned adorable.

Wrapping an arm around you and laying his head on your shoulder, refusing to let you go until you listen.

Even if it's a serious argument, the look of utter heartbreak on his face makes you cave every time.

"Come on, sweetheart. Just name it, I'll do anything."

He isn’t too proud to apologize—he knows when he's in the wrong, and he'll do anything in his power to make it up to you.

G — Going Out (What do they do for dates?)

If Shanks is the one doing the planning, you can expect to end up one of two places.

You might be at the nearest tavern, going shot for shot on rum until you can't see straight, singing sea shanties into the dark hours of morning.

Or laid out on a secluded stretch of beach in the moonlight, sharing a bottle or two, wrapped up in each others' arms and lips and forgetting the passage of time entirely.

He's happy doing anything that means he gets to spend time with you, though, so he's fine with going out of his element if you have something else in mind.

H — Heartache (How would they handle it if you broke up with them?)

Don't. Please. Just don't. He'll be inconsolable.

He'll cry. Don't make Shanks cry. That's just heartless.

He won't show it in front of his crew. He'll keep up his usual carefree and aloof facade.

But once he's alone, he'll be in complete shambles.

He'll probably drink himself senseless.

He loves hard, with every fabric of his being, and losing you would utterly destroy him.

I — Intimacy (When are they intimate with you? And how often?)

Literally all the time.

Shanks always kisses you like no one's watching, pulling you flush against him and delving his tongue between your lips and squeezing your rear.

In his eyes, there's no wrong time to show how much he treasures you. How much he wants you.

His ship could be under fire by a full Marine armada and he would still pull you in for a slow, sweet kiss if the mood struck.

In fact he'd probably do it just to show the Marines how completely unbothered he is.

J — Joker (How do they make you laugh)

If Shanks isn't cracking some stupid joke, you're worried something is wrong.

He loves making people laugh, loves seeing people laughing and enjoying life.

And making *you* laugh? That gives him life.

He's gone far as to pull your panties on while you're alone together in the captain's cabin and imitate you being dramatic about something until you're begging him to stop before you choke to death on your own giggles.

K — Kissing (How good? How often?)

If you're within eyeshot, he *has* to kiss you.

He knows that his crew will roll their eyes and tease him about it, but he doesn't care. Your lips are like a drug and he simply can't get enough.

His kisses tend to be light and plauful.

Lightly biting and pulling at your bottom lip.

Flicking his tongue across lips to coax yours out.

Letting his tongue swirl slowly around yours before pulling back and leaving you craving more.

Pulling you into his lap when he deepens the kiss.

Lifting his hand to flip off anyone with the audacity to tell you two to get a room.

"Don't pay them any mind, princess. They're just a bunch of jealous pricks."

L — Lay down (How do they sleep with you? Are they a cuddler or do they prefer their space?)

He has to be against you in bed.

If you roll away in your sleep, he will subconsciously shift closer to you.

Spooning is definitely his favorite—your back and your ass pressed up against him, his arm draped over your waist so he can caress your stomach or lay his palm over one of your soft breasts...absolute *heaven*.

M — Making babies (Do they want to settle down and have kids?)

Shanks is good with kids, being that he's practically an overgrown kid himself half the time.

All the same, he just...isn’t sure.

He loves you to death. Having a family with you would be a dream come true.

But if he had to leave his ship, his crew behind? He just isn’t sure he could do that.

Because he loves them to death, too.

N — Nervous? (How confident are they when it comes to romance?)

Shanks posseses the positively deadly combination of being unnecessarily charming and handsome, and incredibly aware of it.

Thus, his confidence is through the roof.

He knows he doesn't need anything more than a cheeky grin and a soft carress or two to get you in bed.

That being said, he'll spend all day subtly teasing you to the end of your sanity to make sure you want him as much as it's possible to want another person.

O — Oral Fixation (Giving or recieving? And how good are they?)

Absolutely a giver. He's incredible at it and he knows it.

And he's a terrible, terrible tease about it.

Taking you to the edge, making your thighs tremble...and then pulling away to brush his lips to your thighs and give you a cheeky grin.

"Oh, not yet, love. I love hearing you beg for it."

Keeping you on the edge until you're begging to come in complete and utter desperation before he finally lets you.

And then he isn't going to stop until you're begging him to.

He loves recieving just as much.

Really loves it when you pull him down an empty alley and get on your knees.Curling his fingers in your hair, groaning quietly and praising you endlessly.

His breath shaking as he resists the urge to thrust his hips forward and fuck your throat, wanting to enjoy the slow build-up.

"That's it, sweetheart. Look at me. I want to see those pretty eyes while you suck my cock."

P — Pet Peeves (Things they don't like in a partner)

Taking things too seriously. He's always joking around and having a good time, and all he wants is for you to do the same.

The silent treatment. It drives him absolutely insane. Just talk to him if there's something wrong, he wants to fix it.

Flirting with other men to make him jealous. Just don't. It's the one thing that truly gets under his skin, that could actually get him honestly angry with you.

Q — Quiet Time (How much alone time do they need, or do they want to be with you 24/7?)

Gives you your distance if you need it, but he does so begrudgingly.

He knows life is short—he got his arm bit off by a giant sea monster, for gods' sake—and he wants to spend as much time as he can with you.

Whether you're out having fun, fighting alongside each other, or curled up together in a hammock sharing a bottle of rum and enjoying a lazy afternoon.

He loves being with you, and he'll take any excuse he can get.

R — Romance (How romantic are they? Do they have to force it or does it come natural?)

Shanks's version of romance isn't fancy dinners and extravagant date nights.

It's lying on a beach watching the sunset with you.

Pushing you into the water and diving in after you, kissing you while you're both sopping wet.

Making love under a full moon.

Telling you every opportunity he gets how much he adores you.

"You know you're my greatest treasure, don't you, sweetheart?"

It's hard not to know when he tells you at least three times a day.

But the way he looks into your eyes when he says it still manages to melt your heart every time.

S — Spending Money (How much do they like to spend on you?)

Shanks isn't really much for materialism or consumerism.

You'll have to tell him if there's something you want, and he's not going to have any oroblem with getting it for you.

Every so often, something is going to catch his eye at some market in a port town.

Something that reminds him of you or that he thinks you'll like.

And he'll buy it without hesitation and give it to you with a big, goofy grin the second he sees you.

It's not all the time, but it makes it that much more special when it does happen.

T — Trust (Are they trusting of you? Jealous?)

He absolutely trusts you—that's how love is supposed to work.

But he can get a little jealous.

You wouldn't know it from the way he carries himself and jokes about it, but he does get a little insecure about missing an entire limb.

This can lead to him getting a little defensive and possessive if other men approach you—he's going to make sure it's known that you're his lover, and he'll always fight for you.

U — Underwear (What kind do they wear, and what kind do they like on you?)

Loose-fitting boxers are more comfortable.

He doesn't care what kind of underwear you wear, as long as it comes off easily.

And if you whisper in his ear that you're *not* wearing any?

You'd best buckle up, because he's putting you over his shoulder and carrying you off to the nearest private, or even semi-private location he can find to take advantage of this information.

V — Vulnerable (How vulnerable are they with you? Is it easy for them to open up to you?)

He is one hundred percent an open book with you.

You know everything about him. His life, his secrets, his aspirations.

He doesn't want anything to ever come up that could frighten you off, so he lays everything on the table surprisingly quickly.

W — Wine and Dine (Do they prefer meals at home or going out with you? Who does more of the cooking?)

He would much rather cook, preferably with you. He's not the best at it, but he's not awful either, given that he's had to be self-sufficient for a good bit of his life.

And if you're good at it, he's not to proud to take advice.

Any time spent with you is a wonderful time to him.

If you go out, it's probably going to be street food or tavern fare—fancy restaurants aren't his forte, and he's frankly not sure he would even have anything appropriate to wear.

X — X-Rated (How good are they in bed? What do they like?)

Hopefully you like being teased literally to the edge of sanity.

Major kink for edging you, making you beg for it.

And dear sweet fuck, is he good at it.

Whispering all the things he's going to do to you throughout the course of the day.

Pulling you down an alley or into a broom closet, pinning you to the wall and teasing you through your panties, stopping just short of letting you cum.

Subtle glances and touches.

He *loves* seeing you writhing in his bed, desperate for his touch while he kisses your neck, just trailing his fingertips up and down your inner thigh.

Holding you down by your hips so you can't even grind against him.

"Such an eager little thing. Just be patient, princess. You're going to get what you want."

Kissing down your breasts, taking time to stop and tease your nipples.

Pushing your thighs apart with his knees so he can circle a finger around your entrance, chuckling a little at your moans and whimpers before finally pushing it in.

Sitting up on his knees to watch you arch your hips, rubbing against your g-spot just long enough to get you gasping.

Pulling his finger back out and slowly circling it around your clit instead, before shifting back between your thighs and giving the sensitive bud a few teasing licks, watching you shiver in anticipation.

Keeping it slow and sensual, enjoying every second of being between your thighs, building your pleasure at a slow and steady pace that drives you crazy.

Holding onto your hip keep you from grinding against his tongue.

Pulling back the second you crest toward orgasm, chuckling at your whimpering and begging as he trails his lips across your inner thigh.

"You're just so adorable when you're desperate for it."

Keeping it going for what feels like hours, before finally tugging you in close and not relenting until you're trembling and falling apart beneath him.

Feeling you throbbing under his tongue and tighten up around his fingers is like a high for him.

Not stopping until your body goes limp and the only sounds you can make are a few little whimpers.

Soft, tender kisses amd whispered praises at your neck and lips and shoulders, his fingers combing through your hair, letting you recover for just a minute, even though he's aching for you.

Grinding his cock against your wet folds a few times before sliding slowly into you, groaning quietly in your ear.

"Oh, fuck, you're tight, love..."

Absolutely savors every second of being inside you, moving in long slow strokes, brushing his thumb across your cheek while he kisses you.

If you ask for it harder, he's going to give it to you—he's done with teasing you now. This is about you now, about what his princess wants.

And if you want it rough, then you're coming out of it with your neck and chest half-covered in hickies, and he's not stopping until he's sure you won't be able to walk tomorrow morning.

Holding back just long enough so you can climax at the same time, grunting out a quiet swear and pulling your hips flush against his to come deep inside you.

Slow, deep kisses while you both catch your breath and come down.

But don't be surprised if he's gearing up for another round soon. He really can never get enough of you.

Y — Yearning (How long will they pursue the person they're interested in before losing interest?)

It depends. If it's purely lust based, he's not going to pursue it very long and just move on.

If the feelings run deeper, though, he's absolutely shameless about it.

Relentless flirting and corny pick-up lines.

"Pardon me miss—do you have a map? It seems I've gotten lost in your eyes and I can’t find my way out."

Will absolutely get on his knees and beg you to give him a chance if he has to.

Puppy dog eyes in full effect.

It's pretty much pointless trying to resist.

Z — Zen (What do they do to wind down and relax? Do they prefer to do it alone or with you?)

A bottle of rum, a hammock stretched between a couple palm trees on some remote beach only he knows about, and his arm curled around you while you lie back against his chest.

Kissing your temple and playing with your hair.

He's always more relaxed when he has you with him.

96 was actually good not clickbait?????

Ok time for the monthly chapter recap for y’all that don’t actually wanna read it

Ok so reminder that 95 was awful and everything that happened was wack, this is still kind of wack but it makes up for 95 by being fucking hilarious in every way plus having some important shit and I think Kagami probably wants to wait it out to 100 before telling us what the hell is going on

Of course, it’s just another Yu squad chapter except now we have Krul with them going like “oh my god these fucking idiots. We also have flashbacks to both Yu and Guren four years ago (which is great as usual) and the never-before-seen BABY VAMPIRE MIKA WITH A S W O R D AAAA and then M I K A Y U U  C O N F I R M E D ????

This is the entire reason i wrote mika’s tragic emo backstory so i’m sad now because kagami actually did it better for fucking once

So first off, we start with Mitsu and Shinoa drunk-attacking the queen, and ending up fucking throwing up on her hands, so she yeets out of there, takes a shower, and steals some random clothes so SHE LOOKS LIKE SO CUTE OMG WTF SHE’S LIKE A C H I L D

DANGER DO NOT TOUCH EXCUSE ME MAAM I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

So basically she’s like “hey uh kids wtf is up with you” and yu tells them she wants to help save mika (which it’s still annoying that they’re not being serious about it really but how could you be when she’s dressed like that)

Yu introduces Krul as “asuramaru’s baby sister” and when krul is like “I AM NOT AN INFANT” Yu says he thinks Krul is t h r e e  y e a r s  o l d, and then she corrects him to say “ashera tepes” and he’s like “asura tapes????” love that for him

then we deal with the fact that yoichi, mitsuba, and shinoa are drunk as fuck and lying on the floor half dead

So Kimizuki and Yu’s solution to that problem? Fucking pick them up. Bride carry them. Himbos. Oh my god

YU HAS BOTH GIRLS ON HIS SHOULDERS WHAT A FUCKING CHAD

And kimizuki just there like -_- *carries yoichi*

So once they get to a room that’s not covered in vomit they sit down and try to listen to the queen but yu’s still like fucking insane so he’s not acting well

krul asks where he learned his manners and he’s like “that’s a good question probably guren” we get a few pages of Yu trying to fight with Guren, which Krul thinks is fucking stupid and goes “If I raised you all you’d be way better!” and like literally flashes back to teaching Mika to swordfight, which is like, actually wonderful first confirming

-Krul sees Mika as someone she Raised (she is his mom lmao)

-Mika’s backstory!!!! I found it actually very valid because it said that Mika never cried out or admitted anything hurt when she hit him, even though he was so tiny, that he was so determined to get strong for yu, and kagami o u c h??????

LOOKIT HIM

WITH HIS LIDDOL

TEEF

I CAN’T

So what Krul says is that she wants Yu to Really Sell the fact that he wants to save mika so what yu does is he finally starts to show some real emotion, I still would have liked,,, a lot more, kagami, like, dude, his boyfriend just fucken exploded, but still it was way better than last time???

He literally kneels down on the ground and begs, which is, ouch

“His life is more important to me than my own.”

When Krul sees that, she looks convinced, and she says something that just,,, seems,,, important.

Like

“Ah yes, he has it just as badly. I see. Is this why?” 

I

What

Obviously this isn’t referring to her because she literally just compared her relationship with mika to that of yu and guren’s but that must mean then

She’s talking about Mika. Mika’s feelings for Yu. And she’s seeing right in front of her that Yu feels just as strongly. That’s. Really romantic and really can’t be explained off as platonic because you don’t have Friendship “badly”. it’s clearly a romantic tone, and taking ch. 90 into consideration we might finally actually be getting somewhere??? Cause. Like. 

That’s not even really something that can be explained away with translation? because if you can change “it’s just longing” to “it’s just your garden variety idolization” what the hell must have been in the raws for this, either it is truly this gay or in fact, even gayer

So anyway after that she goes on to say “Is this why you chose to possess him?” to asuramaru which kind of throws us off but still

So she asks the squad to raise their hands if they have black demons

yu takes that, literally

Yu be like 

i throw my hands up in the air sometimes

i just,,,

Yeah so what she says is that everyone’s after them and asks what their goal/side is to which they respond “wat” so she’s like *d e e p  s i g h* ALRIGHT I’M GIVING YOU FUCKERS A PURPOSE AND MY PLAN BEGINS WITH THIS WEIRDO MAHIRU EIGHT YEARS AGO to which shinoa raises her eyebrows and that’s where the chapter ends

all in all

FUCKING BALLER BUT I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHAT’S UP NOW

[bunnys-beetlejuice-blog]

dings a rinky triangle right next to your head Hi guys, it's fic time! I actually put this up last night but I'm telling you right now. It's had a few hours to cool, like a pie out of the oven, but made of words. This chapter will actually contain mentions of ssssself harm, so viewer beware, i guess.

His world stays dark, even though he knows he’s opened his eyes. He tries to understand that, brain feeling foggy. He must be somewhere dark. He’s laying on his back. He can hear muffled voices, maybe, over him? He’s under something. He lays there, listening, but he’s too tired to even try to understand, and the voices are too muffled to be anything recognizable. Maybe, if he really strains, he can hear a familiar voice, or someone who sounds like his baby sister, but the only word he manages to understand is “invisible.”

He falls back into a restless sleep.

The next time he’s able to shake exhaustion from his mind, he tries to sit up. It’s easier than he thought it might be. This time, more aware of himself, his body feeling less destroyed, he actually tries to understand where he is. It feels like he’s laying in dirt, or under dirt, in a mountain of it, the usual soft scent of freshly turned earth overpowering. It still hurts to move, but he forces himself to, clawing upwards, through the dirt, until he reaches a wooden plank, which he goes through, like he’s not even there.

It’s a box, containing something foul smelling. A coffin… he’s inside a coffin. Juno buried him below a pine box, in someone else’s grave. The inside of it stinks, like decay and chemicals, and he doesn’t stop to take in whoever this used to be, just pushes up, and out, until he emerges from the ground like a zombie, like Night of the Living Dead. The ground around him is grown over with grass, and he grabs at it, using it as much as he can, as he crawls from someone’s grave, until finally, he pulls himself free from the earth, and lays there, taking breaths he doesn’t need, to clear the smell of the body from his nose. His suit and trench coat are filthy, but that barely registers, at this point. There are more important things to worry about, like getting home- He sits up, catches sight of the gravestone.

Emily Deetz Devoted Wife, Beloved Mother “Whom Most We Love Reach First the Golden Gate, Leaving Us Desolate”

He stares at the etching on the stone, and feels something in his mind snap, like a rubber band stretched too tight. He’s seeing the world through a fisheye lens, his vision distorted, blurry, as he tries to understand exactly what just happened. Juno made him crawl out of his own mother’s grave. The body he still reeks of was Emily’s. He sits there, a long time, not feeling much of anything, only able to stare, replaying that memory, over and over, and the only thing that makes him move is the sudden realization of what grass over a grave could mean. Emily’s been buried long enough for it to grow. How long has it been since he’s been home? He does his best to push this fun new trauma down, as far as it will go. He’s got to get back to his family. What’s left of it, he thinks, humorlessly.

He stands, off balance, and wipes some of the dust and dirt from his face, and finds that, annoyingly, his glamour has slipped, and it refuses to reapply. Maybe he’s too drained, though he’s not sure how he’s going to get back home, clearly looking as deranged as he must. He’s too exhausted to teleport, and he wanders around the cemetery, avoiding the few people there as much as he can, as the sun dips low, and vanishes. At least by that point he can force his teeth and ears to resemble normal human’s. The moss and eyes, well, he’s too worn down to care. So he’ll look like an extra grubby hobo, he thinks. That’ll have to be his new look, for now.

He reaches a gate, and leans on it, and then falls through it, and blinks, confused. He’s never been intangible by accident, before. Usually it takes concentration to make his solid form incorporeal. He stands, straightens out his suit collar, adjusts his sleeves, fiddles with his tie, as he thinks. There’s got to be someone around here who can call his family for him, or at the very least, a cab. The cemetery is growing darker, and his attention is drawn to the far off flicker of candles. He feels a pull, and he approaches, taking in what he sees.

It’s a group of five teenagers with an Ouija board. Predictable. He snorts, and expects that sound to alert the kids to his presence, but they don’t even turn to see what the noise could be. He steps closer, until he’s fully illuminated by the glowing ring of candles around them, and he tries to be friendly. “Hey, just a normal livin’ adult human man, in a cemetery, at night, approachin’ a group of children. You kids wanna be helpful an’ call me a cab?” BJ tries, but he’s ignored. The kids don’t even look in his direction. He remembers being a snot nosed teen, but this is a bit much. His blood boils, and he leans down, claps his hands in one of the teen’s faces, and she responds to that, but not in the way he wants. “I think I just felt a cold spot!” she tells her friends. “In front of my face, just now!” “Calm down with that,” a red haired girl shoots her a look. “We haven’t even started yet, and you’re already having a spiritual experience. Yeah, right.” “No you guys, really!”

“Lookit me,” he interrupts them. The children continue to squabble. His gut clenches. “Look at me!” he demands, storming to the center of the circle, and kicking at their stupid board game. His boot goes through it. They don’t react. Why would they, he realizes, sinking to sit on top of the board.

He’s invisible.

He tries to recall everything Juno had said, as he’d struggled to keep conscious, while impaled. Loneliness. Invisibility, being at the command of the living. Being… forgotten. No, no, NO- His impending freak out is stymied when he feels hands go through him, and he shoots up, hovering over the board game, as the teens below him react. “Oh my god, total cold spot! Should we like, make a note of that?” “Come on, come on, let’s start, while there’s still someone or something here!”

The five teens lean forward, each placing fingers on the planchette. “Is there anyone here?” one of them asks.

Betelgeuse stares, and feels a tug, again, clearly coming from the board. He knows some demons use these things to play with their food, before they eat, so he gives it a go, and floats over the game, head down, feet in the air, like he’s diving underwater. Maybe these kids can actually help him. He pushes the planchette with one finger, to land on “Yes.”

“Did you do that?” one boy asks, and the group devolves into the kids blaming each other, and he rakes his hands down his face, and tries to move the planchette, again, but they’re too busy squabbling, they’re not touching it anymore. Fuck, this is frustrating. He’s never wanted a group of teenagers to drop dead as badly as he does right now. Finally, they put their hands back on the pointer, and ask another question. “Are you friendly?”

This time, he pushes the planchette to spell, instead. “S-U-R-E.” “That doesn’t instill a lot of confidence,” the redhead from before mutters. “What do you want?” He nudges the pointer along, painstakingly slow. “H-O-M-E.” “You want to go home?” “YES.”

“For fuck sake, yes,” he groans, and then perks as one asks, “How can we help you?” Well… he’s not actually sure. He squints, trying and failing to recall everything Juno had said. How is he supposed to work with this curse thing, when he doesn’t know the rules? He digs his hands in his pockets, frustrated, and then blinks, because there’s what feels like a business card there, one that he doesn’t remember. He pulls the paper from his pocket, studies it.

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE

He remembers the way Juno had chanted his name, before he’d lost consciousness. That must be it, then. His name is his burden.

“M-Y-N-A-M-E-T-H-R-E-E-T-I-M-E-S”

“Oh, wait, wait, guys, I’ve heard of this,” one of the girls gasps. “Demonic entities, they have you do things in threes, to mock the trinity, you know, father, son, and holy ghost. It’s a demon thing! We might be talking to a non-human spirit!” “That means we can’t trust it, right?” A boy asks, and they all look uneasy. He steers the planchette around the board, desperate. “W-A-N-N-A-H-O-M-E-P-L-Z.” The redhead wrinkles her nose. “Do demons use chat speak?” she asks, glancing around the group.

“O-H-M-Y-G-O-D-U-K-I-D-S-A-R-E-K-I-L-L-I-N-M-E.”

“I’m not afraid. Tell us your name, spirit!” a boy calls, and he gives the planchette a push, intent on spelling it. The pointer doesn’t move. “Come the fuck on!” he growls, but it doesn’t matter how much strength he puts into the action, he can’t move the dinky plastic piece to spell out his name.

“Spirit? You there?”

“F-U-C-K,” he spells out, in a rage, because this is pointless, he’s too exhausted and sore to think of how to make this work, and he just wants to go home, and see what’s left of his family. He growls again, and then snuffs all the candles in the circle, all at once, causing the kids to scream, and scramble, and that, at least, forces a rictus grin from him. He’s always enjoyed the sounds of terror. He leaves the children tripping over themselves in the dark, and decides he’s going to have to make his way home the old fashioned way- floating. At least he doesn’t have to walk, he supposes, tucking his legs under himself, and he floats invisibly out of the cemetery, and down the sidewalk, trying to focus on how good it will be to see Lydia and Charles, and not on how they won’t see him, and especially not on how every part of him, physically, emotionally, mentally, is hurting. read the rest over here~ If you're totally lost, I find starting at the beginning of something often makes the middle of something make better sense. So you can start at the very beginning right HERE

Listen, I f*cking love Vil. Not only is he among my top ten characters, he’s also one of those beauties whom I can’t stop staring no wonder how many times he shows up on-screen. But having said that after I finished watching the Pomefiore arc......

ABAJAJAS LEONAAA （╹◡╹）♡ I SWEAR, I COULD’VE FINISHED MY MARATHON EARLIER IF I WASN’T REPLAYING HIS SCENES!! WHY DID HE SHOW UP NOT ONCE BUT THRICE?? TO REMIND ME OF WHO MY MAIN BIAS IS?? AHAHAHA LEONA YOU’RE SO BRILLIANT WITH YOUR ABILITY TO SENSE OVERBLOT MAGIC AND TO DIRECT THE BUILDING OF THE VDC STAGE!! AAAAHHHH <3

Okie, that is all~ Enjoy my public suffering but beware of my post-recovery bulli ^o^

Oh my god, I KNOW 😭 Vil, Epel, Rook, Lilia, and Heartslabyul Dorm are all 3rd place faves for me after Leona and Malleus tbh 😔 (Not counting my favorite Papa Bird, of course, lol)

I’m still gazing at pictures of Vil’s overblot like 🤤 akdbakdjkadj

I must cosplay it one day, holy Mary 👀💧

GAKRHAKDHWKDHAKS AHAHAHAHAHA RIP US POOR SIMPS, GEEZ

He’s so cute, being all annoyed with the effort of setting things up, AND THE END WITH HIM SUSPECTING, I GUESS?, THAT IDIA OR SOMEONE HAD ERASED SOME FOOTAGE/FOOTAGE HAD BEEN CORRUPTED AND LOST CAUSE OF THE OVERBLOT, BUT HE C L E A R L Y NOT WANTING TO GO ASK IDIA ABOUT IT (me too ksdhskjdqk 😅) I DIED

Baby worked so hard on that stage, too 🥺💛 Someone made a joke about Leona building it, Vil destroying it, and Malleus putting it back together so easily, and just being like “...Am I a joke to you??” AHDKABDAJ

RIP, but he too smart, he really do just be like “other leads are overblotting, aren’t they... Yk what? Not gonna get involved. I’m good, I am perfectly FINE, not my problem, BE dramatic.” qiehakdhkadhsj

RIGHT THO HE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB 🥺💕💕💕 LEADIN HIS WHOLE DORM, LOOKIT HIM GO 💛💛💛

Also I know you don’t simp for Malleus (altho I’m not assuming you don’t like him don’t worry, pfsh), buttttttt ;-;

That boy is pinning for MC so hard, and it’s so CUTE, and SOFT, and so HARD to not pine right back?? Hewwo?? 😭 He may be cheeky and startlingly powerful, but he is also a POUTY, and SOFT, BABY, and I love him 😖 💚🖤

Ahidahidqhsk I can only imagine you’ll come back with bulli stronger than ever aaaaa 😭😔

[ducktales-wco-oo]

✩ { @calvinsmuses​​​ } ✩ - Continued from ★

{ ☆ } Anyone who knows Mark— not many people do —knows that he is a major lightweight... with a major minor problem when it comes to adhering to his limits. Stubborn and impulsive and emotional to a fault, it’s unfortunately common for him to find himself in a situation like this. Stumbling around, drunkenly laughing through the bittersweet gaze in falsely-blue hues, feathers mussed and breath overtaken by the scent of fruity drinks. 

Bumping into nearby people before Gyro arrived to herd him away to a quieter area of the raving club, it’s only through the grace of God and Mark’s well-known name that Mark has managed to go this long without getting his ass beat. That and his money... the perks brought from slurring out an order of drinks for the entire club are VERY useful. Although, the predatory gazes lingering on the inebriated parrot— ranging from eyeing his many credit cards to the exposed scarlet tail feathers, Mark’s casual outfit leaving far less to the imagination than his usual stuffy work clothes —are troublesome.

Just not as much as how little notice Mark is giving them at this time.

Gyro’s question is met with more drunken giggles, the tactless inquiry causing Mark to roll his eyes and open his beak, likely to spout out some cheeky statement that somehow manages to be both annoying and depressing... but they are both spared the parrot’s unfiltered thoughts for now, Mark miraculously clamping his beak shut when Gyro continues. Doesn’t stop him from childishly sticking out his tongue though. Rolling his eyes at the snippy statements, Mark drawls out a clumsy,  ❝  Boooooooooooo... You’re literally NO fun. And it’s sooooo hot in here. ❞  

That might just be the alcohol, Mark’s cheeks flushed with color thanks to the variety of drinks he managed to down before drunk texting Gyro. Either way, he feels like his body is on fire and putting on his shirt— cropped as the top may be —is NOT something Mark feels like doing.

Drink sloshing in his hand, umbrella falling to the ground and brightly colored liquid spilling onto the filthy floor, Mark quickly downs it— not giving Gyro the chance to snatch it —before lightly tossing the glass onto a nearby table, watching it roll away through a dazed look as if its journey is the most interesting thing in the world. As soon as it rolls over the edge with a drowned-out clutter, Mark looks over at Gyro and slurs through a lopsided smile,  ❝  What’s the huuuurry anyways? C’mon, Gearloose... It’s like- a boppin’ good time here...  ❞  

An arm slinging over Gyro’s shoulders, Mark leans against his side, using the taller male as support to make up for his jelly-like legs. Free arm clumsily motions around them, nearly knocking over a tray of drinks from a nearby employee’s hand,  ❝  Lookit all these peeps just VIBING! Nobody’s sad here- and if they ARE, they’re too drunk to really care anyway so- Yeah.  ❞  Sputtering out a bubbly laugh, head lolls against Gyro’s shoulder as Mark admits,  ❝  Probs ‘cause I’ve been pumping these peeps full of free drinks for like- a hella long time now... They Lo-OVE me for it...  ❞  Face turning, it buries against Gyro’s body, following words muffled,  ❝  Heh... The perks of having lots of mons...  ❞  

❝  All the fake friends you could EVER want... and even ones ya don’t. ❞  { ☆ }

[universal-kitty]

Hewwo I give you permission to gush about Handsome Jack :3c

   [wheezes] I owe you....my life.......

   First of all. Lookit him. I could almost be mad that this fucker... This fucker got me. “LOL, I will not fall for the guy who wants to destroy a whole planet and who makes murder-jokes,” I said, once upon a time. So...naive, thinking I could get away with that. Like?? Hewwo, dumbass, you’ve fallen for villains before. Ganondorf, to start. There was no way I was getting away from his clutches.

   And I. Was. Right all along.

   Maybe it was the legendary Spoon Story and his laughter that got me to laugh along despite myself. The overboard ego that hides everything else? The fact I’m overly empathetic and you give me one (1) Bad Boy type and I immediately have to enter “Care Mode”?? Maybe it’s everything and more. Heck if I know. He owns my ass at this point. (“Hyperion logo tramp stamp,” I joke for the third time this month.)

   BUT MAN. His voice? It’s deadly perfection. There’s some lines I swoon for. Some super obvious ones (“Later, cupcake.” those petnames are UNFAIR), a few “yeah, that’s Aki for you” ones (the ones where he’s roaring in anger), and some...less obvious ones (I gushed earlier about this so here I go again....I FORGOT HE SQUEAKED IN THE PRE-SEQUEL AT THE VAULT?!? THAT’S SO C U T E-).

   He’s definitely pretty lanky under those layers, but you know what? He’s such a mess and I still love him for it anyways. I can’t be stopped. ....Still gonna try and steal one of those layers, though... Just can’t decide between outermost jacket or one of his t-shirts...tough call.

   ...Okay, look... I made a joke about “yaoi hands Jack” before. I’ve done the art...but I’M A HYPOCRITE cause I LOVE THOSE BIGASS HANDS. I’m so tiny?? His big hands???? Yes, good, gimme-- (I won’t allow myself to be gross on this Good Christian Hellsite, but you know what I’m hinting at here, HINT, HINT.)

   You know what else? I love?? His true face under the mask. This fucker can FIGHT ME on it, but... Holy shit. I love his vault scar....so much. Lemme smooch it, Jack. Just! Lemme!!! Smooch it!!!!!! G A H

   Also, this has been haunting me for MONTHS, BUT THIS GIF--

   GOD, LOOK! AT!!! HIM!!!! RAW POWER. DETERMINATION. HE’S A MAN ON A MISSION AND THAT.....FLUSTERS ME SO BADLY. F U C K--

   My Mood right now after that gif, gOOD LORD, STEP ON ME, JA--

   Anyways. What else? Can I ramble about?? So much more. Will I keep going? Of course.

   Okay, HOW DID TFTBL DO IT. His eyes. What the fuck. They’re so beautiful. I love his heterochromatic eyes, but something about the detail they put into Jack’s eyes for this game, I’m-??? Hello??????? WHO ALLOWED THIS?!?

   Also, in general, just... Watching his expressions in TFTBL is...too good. Every time I watch D ( @robotarmjokes ) stream it? Guess what I’m doing every time I see Jack????? Staring at his expressions like a lovesick kitten?? DING-DING, YOU ARE CORRECT!!!

   AND I’M NOT EVEN GOING INTO HIS PAST?? AND HOW I JUST.... IF SOMEONE HAD GIVEN THIS MAN A DAMN BREAK, I ‘UNNO, MAYBE HE WOULDN’T BE AS MURDER-Y???? FOOD FOR THOUGHT, BABES. (Though to be fair, I warmed up to Lilith during the betrayal for the jokes. Like.... You still betrayed Jack, fuck’a you, but hearing her say “That’s what she said,” and “I’m a genius,” after blowing up a thing... Iconic. Still a bitch, but a bitch I respect.)

   Also because I feel like getting into Jack’s past is more of a can of worms to tackle when I wanna do maybe...a character study? On Jack?? Or something like it that ties back to self-shipping.....but that’d be some other time. All that needs to be said on that, anyways, is his parents can fuck off, his granny can stay in the ditch those bandits might’ve tossed her in, and FUCK EVERYONE ELSE, I’m here, not gonna leave him or betray him or anything of the kind.....

   He can relax now. He’s at the top of his game, I’m here...and honey, we’re golden~

“Oh, ye learn a thing ‘er two t’ be useful out on th’ ocean-- ‘Specially when ye’ve been raised by a crew. Ain’t nothin’ like swingin’ a axe...”

Sosu was taught a myriad of weaponry that was both useful for upkeeping a ship both at port and at sea, and it just so happened that axes were incredibly good at splitting skills and lopping off limbs!

“Wonder Woman” Review

Non-Spoiler Review: WATCH IT! Go see it. Enjoy it and love it and know that our Princess has saved us from bad DCEU movies.

And now for my one spoiler-y-ish gripe...with lots of notes because I have a degree in this, I’m gonna use it to analyze something, ok? Ok:

Ares =/= Lucifer, no matter how much you want him to be. 

Ares and Lucifer rule over a ton of different aspects and as much as you think they are similar, they aren’t. While we are here: Ares = War in Battle, as in the horrors of War and the bloodlust, murder, etc that comes with it. It’s why Phobos and Deimos (Fear and Panic) follow him around. Athena = War in Thought, as in the planning and execution, the generals deciding on how thing should go and then how to fix it when sh*t hits the fan.

Anyway, main point is that Ares and Lucifer are NOT THE SAME THING. 

AT ALL. 

EVER. 

They both want different things that are expressed in different ways, which is why learning about Ares in the same way Diana did results in General Ludendorff (who was a real person and apparently liked the Sherman idea of TOTAL WAR, so...ok) being the Obvious Baddie is Obvious. When the truth is revealed to Diana and the audience, it raises the tension and shows off a great deal about both Ares and how he’s grown with Humanity and their ability to make War, as well as the turning point Diana must take.

Historically, WWI is the result of a lot of blocks that the Imperial powers built up at their height (right around the American and French Revolutions, as well as the end of the Napoleonic Wars) crashing down so hard that everyone is kinda surprised a small incident in the Sudan didn’t actually start it and not idiot nationalists in Sarajevo. (Seriously, look at this, it was pure dumb luck!) There is a reason that before WWI, it was considered the War to End All Wars. It was messy, horrible, bloody, and overall resulted in the deaths and displacements of so many people it’s SCARY.

When we meet Remus Lucifer Ares, he’s advocating Armistice, meaning this is around 1918, when all the powers are having their collective “well, this isn’t gonna work” moments. The Triple Entente had lost Russia to that whole Communist uprising (Russia also learned that having TWO UPRISINGS during a war does not count as ‘we give up’ when Germany is working on actually cutting through the Eastern Front). The newly-formed Allies (also including Japan and Italy in this war) were starting to get help, in the form of more bodies to throw at gunfire, from the VERY isolationist Americans and the ideological Woodrow Wilson, who thought we should have a League of Nations to not have such things happen again by having other nations tell the rest, politely, to stopit. 

Oh, and to screw with the fallen Ottoman Empire and the allied Arabs that had helped with said fall, there was Sykes-Picot. 

Basically the Armistice was good for the reason Diana said - it would result in the stop of the war that had been going on for four years, and that everyone involved thought would only last a few weeks (which I think also turned off the Americans, ‘cause we had a war like that and it ended up with similar f*ck ups). However, long-term, this was a TERRIBLE treaty because France and England basically bullied everyone into the treaties, didn’t listen to anyone, and set up for everything to come. I’m not saying they had that insight - the people at the table were the same ones who started the war - but that they had their ‘beliefs’ and the prevailing one for those two were to keep their Empires and even up the ante because this Imperialism thing would Totally Work, Lookit How Well It Works. So do Secret Deals.

So how does this make Ares into Lucifer? We have a) a fallen heavenly/powerful/godlike being who b) went against the will of their father and c) is upset with the last creation (Mankind) and d) believes they’re all bad, meaning they wish to e) destroy them because they’re destroying their father’s creation/nature/the way things were/something here to double for a reason their manpain equates to the last creation, and it f) doesn’t matter how good one or multiple ones are, all are obvious evil just g) look at this underling/person I was manipulating while they did their job and/or thing they loved that happened to hurt people/very evil human being with no redeemable value and h) join me and together we can rule the world/change things/kill them all/rule over them because i) we’re family/I’m your father/rule as father and son or something and also j) search your feelings, you know this is true, which is why I will k)kill your lover/friend/both in front of you and/or invalidate their heroic and noble sacrifice, that always works and will in no way backfire on me.

11 Easy steps, and all of them were handled at varying degrees of bad/ok to result in a ‘meh’ thing for Ares. Or I’m spoiled by the DCAU (Animated Universe) and John Rhys-Davis as Hades and whoever-else it was as their Ares.

Probably that.

The cherry on top of this 11-step mess was that Diana and he have a)the same father and b) she is the only one who can defeat him. Because of course, you can’t have a Lucifer stand-in without having a Jesus Metaphor or some sort of Savior/Messiah figure. Even if it leads to a pretty badass fight in which the rest of our protagonists look at, say ‘Our lane is over there, with the big death-plane of Obvious Love-Interest Martyrdom’ and kept themselves there and didn’t try to take a shot at Ares once, allowing Diana all the chance to take him down herself and prove herself as Badass Awesomeness of Awesome.

She also had her whole Savior of Mankind thing, but she does it in the same vein as Jesus chasing out the moneylenders at the Temple. 

That’s how you do your Obvious Jesus Metaphor, Superman. Take note.

If this had been with any other actor (up to when he powered up, sorry Remus) or any other war, there would have possibly been some groaning and overuse of the Lucifer stuff, and while I do groan and it brought me out of Ares’ whole attempt to try to be ‘poor me’ with Diana, I think her actions afterwards, as well as his actions before and what I know of the history of that time, as well as what happens afterwards, makes it a bit more of a little gripe over the glaring trope. I mean, it was tropey and could have easily failed, but for me, even with it, the fake-out, as well as Diana’s realization during that whole battle, was worth it.
