#When something happens or i think of something it doesnt consume me. I can be in it and think about it but then let it pass

[snekdood]

i just struggle to believe theres any ethical way to harvest meat. farm animal dying of old age? yeah. ok. sure. but farm animals aren't going to be perpetually dying of old age enough to fulfill the demand for their meats. you can make better and more convincing arguments to me for ethically harvesting eggs, wool and milk rather than meat.

[celestiallystella]

i LOVE the mer hcs so much omg

if possible, can we have mer hcs for wild?

LOLOL yes this is very possible. ty for your request!

Mer!Wild × GN!Reader (sfw & nsfw)

Starting this at 2am bc night shift. Yall this and playing echoes of wisdom are whats keeping me alive

Reader is gn, and there will also be a clear indication of when the nsfw ones start, so you can definitely avoid them! there is also a LOT of general headcanons about him with mer stuff, bc again.. 2am shenanigans

Hope you enjoy!!

You might he thinking his tail is the same blue as his tunic

wrong! Its actually a really pale green that tends to shift with his surroundings, but only slightly

in colder regions and areas, it's lighter and you both swear there's tints of white when he shifts just so

in warmer regions? a little bit of a deeper green that shifts to orangey yellows

otherwise it's just a grass green type of color

he quite likes it! of course, youd be hard pressed to find something nature related he DOESNT like when it doesnt hurt him

he also likes that this new development lets him play with the zora kiddos better, and it also helps encourage the zora to let him babysit more

this is definitely pre teacher era, so he's discovering how much he enjoys being able to help out with kids

he does NOT keep his mer form a secret. he doesn't go out of his way to tell many people outside of you (the first person he told, in fact, and he was SO excited when he did), flora, sidon, and purah

otherwise?? well he wont lie if asked but he isnt going out of his way to tell anyone else

he may deny it, but flora has 100% rubbed off on him in some aspects. besties frfr

in other words, he definitely takes some of his scales and lets them oxidize to see what happens with them

they get super hard, edges sharp

see, he isn't Four, so he doesn't know how he'd ever go about making them into parts of a weapon for you. theyre small, hard to work with

he ends up in rito village messing around with tulin and teba, and tulin's the one who comes up with the idea of making his scales into arrow heads

still, theyre small, so he it takes a while to get enough collected for him to give to teba for him to combine and thus make an actually substantial amount of arrows

wild is giddy when he recieves the full bundle, this has probably been mooonths in the making and he's probably had to do mer stuff FAR more than even he'd like in order to shed this many naturally but! it's worked

he surprises himself when he goes home to you and feels so nervous to give you these

will you think its weird?? what if you never use them?? what if-

he has to force himself inside and to your side in order to pass them over to you

once he explains what they are, he's very taken with the way you get a sweet little smile on your face

(every time he sees you use one, every time he sees an enemy dead with one of his arrows poking out of it? he feels SO happy to know he's able to help you even like that)

outside of THAT large, time consuming portion of his life, he actually finds himself fond of spending time in his mer form

he can sleep in trees, or in plains, or in the middle of.. anywhere, really, whenever he wants, but the water? until this form he wasn't able to do that and he is so abusing it now

he love love loves goading you into cuddling in the water.

he's cuddled with you like.. EVERYWHERE else already, and now he has the perfect excuse to wrap his arms around you and just enjoy your presence in the water

the more skin to skin contact the better, in his opinion

the warmth of your skin innocently against his own, cool water washing over you two

he loves gentle intimacy with you, innocent sweet things.

he likes being able to dig along water beds and sea beds to find little things for you

shells, pebbles, sea glass, anything glittery or that he finds pretty will be brought home to you

he likes seeing you smile about it, and he likes when you do something with his little gifts

as aforementioned, he likes resting in the water, but it becomes even better when you're carding your fingers through his hair, nails scratching his scalp gently

he likes being able to drag you along with him on his little swims, pressing kisses to your lips before splashing you with his tail and laughing

which leads into the aspect of play

he loves being able to, essentially, play in the water with you

he just likes fucking around, and it's even better when he's able to do so with you!

the zora kiddos have taught him a million and one games and he wants to try ALL of them with you, no matter how childish

(as much as he can anyway, theres a lot he can do that you cant courtesy of breathing underwater, but yk)

for a while, he totally starts giving you aquatic flowers of all sorts

once he learns to preserve them?? oh your home is filled with misc. aquatic finds courtesy of wild

NSFW

hahah oh man he hunts down every underwater cave that isnt too deep and has larger caverns of air and drags you to them

the darker atmosphere, the cold water, your skin to his

in mer form, i think there'd be a slight increase in night vision, so he also just really likes how you look under the soft glow of brightcaps pairing with his better vision

he likes licking. i am a strong believer that wild LOVES to taste test his food, and you?? well, you're one of his favorite things to devour, so of COURSE his lips, tongue, and teeth are all over you

as for positions, i think he'd like anything that allows him to go to town devouring you

again, i cannot stress this enough, he really likes however you taste

when it comes to penetrative sex, though, i think he'd be very content to lay there, tail submerged, and just letting you do as you please

he finds great pleasure in taking a break and just chilling while you get the both of you off LMAO

if you're tired, or if you'd prefer not to do all the work, wild will 100% rotate through every possible position he can think of that you consent to

you guys have definitely tried a looott in hylian forms, but now that he's a mer? he really likes seeing how different things affect him when it comes to you

he likes how much more sensitive he is to you and your touch

it really does not take much to drive him up a wall with desire when he's in his mer form

if he isn't prepared, then everytime you touch him he absolutely shivers

his skin is cooler in mer form, and you're so warm, which really helps push along the desire to be buried inside you one way or another

he'll totally beg for you too, especially using that whole "im cold and itd warm me up, pleaseeee?"

he has NO shame

comments on every little thing you do when he's in the mood and somehow makes it sexual or tells you it turns him on

for example... like.. oh, you slipped trying to stand on the shore? suddenly he's thinking that you should slip onto his dick or into his mouth.

he prefers making sure you cum first

if he does so first, he gets really embarrassed and pulls out every stop in the book to try and get you to orgasm without overstimulating you

anyway. as i said before, if hes put in charge, he loves trying out new positions with you, so he'd be VERY down to try a lot of things you want to

you guys ive realized ive devolved from the original method i had of mer hcs where it was essentially a plot outline, my bad </3

sorry if this one has a lot that seems out of nowhere or confusing. again, i unfortunately wrote this very late at night when im lacking a lot of higher thought processes. having said that, lemme know if theres any glaring errors in any of this lolol

[magiturge]

how long would it take seneca to realize he loves richardson, and come to terms with the fact he is in love with him, will he ever?

also quick question, you said that seneca tries to put all of his talent to repay josafá, not out of love for creation. but, howcome seneca makes creations for richardson? wouldn't he think josafá wouldn't like that? I am curious if he goes against god for richardson in his eyes, or if he thinks of a sort of loophole or something instead.

i feel in some form seneca already knows but he does not consciously acknowledge his love. afterall, a wretch like him shouldnt seek out a gentle luxury. .. deep in the pushed back parts of his mind, he knows. i dont think he will ever WANT to come to terms with his feelings, at least in a direct sense. i think he is most comfortable living an ambiguously cozy.. life of two. with no i love yous.

..in a way, i think he fell fast and understood quickly.. its, just a byproduct of being treated horribly for so long. the kindest face and hospitality, will have you scratching at the door for warmth again.

as for your second question, this is where seneca’s faith is shaky. its a coping mechanism formed from pain and isolation. he clings to it when he doesnt want to consider the reality of what is happening.

seneca is.. a heavy hearted person. he is consumed with emotion, with dreams. his idea of the doctrine is near entirely self made, his center still exists shaping it even in pain. well..

josafa would, want me to repay the debth that is owed right? for this man’s kindness in allowing me to stay here despite disturbing his peace.. what of myself can i give, other than gospel. simple preachinf of my mission wont be enough.. i must, so i must.

its like make believe that calms his mind. his creations for richardson is out of his own love, but he masks it under the guise of what josafa wouldve wanted him to do.. as he does many other things. he adheres strongly to his beliefs hes made up, and he can loosen them within his delusion.

he feeds into his thought to justify to himself why his actions are necessary instead of acknowledging its just something he wants, of his own autonomy.

I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)

y/n doesnt believe in love, taylor, their best friend (who knows their view on love) tries to convince that luke would be a great boyfriend for them: bit of a long one today - 3.4k words

Love is stupid, ok? It’s pointless and there is absolutely no need for it. And no, It’s not just because I've had bad experiences, it’s the whole thing. Girls changing themselves for the boy they like. Boys being mean to people to get girls attention, the whole thing is just stupid.

If there's a prize for rotten judgement I guess I've already won that

I feel like I’ve made a series of poor decisions in my life, each one heavier than the last. This pattern of regret and self-reproach feels like it’s consuming me from within. It's become almost second nature to make mistakes because I've fallen into the habit of making them, and each misstep adds to the weight of my past errors.

No man is worth the aggravation

No guy at Camp Half-Blood is worth going through that emotional turmoil again. It’s simply easier to avoid falling in love altogether. The past is full of lessons learned—the kind where you thought you'd finally moved on, only to find yourself trapped in the same old cycles. The gods had their trials, and there's no need for us to repeat their mistakes.

That's ancient history, been there, done that

This happened to the gods in the past, it shouldn't be repeating with us again

Who d'you think you're kiddin'? He's the earth and heaven to you

“Y/N, you have to listen to me on this.” My best friend, Taylor starts, “Luke would be the perfect boyfriend for you. First, he’s genuinely kind-hearted. It’s not just something he puts on for show—he’s consistently thoughtful and considerate in everything he does. You’ve seen it yourself, right? How he interacts with everyone around him, always making sure people are okay and that they’re feeling included.

And let’s talk about his skills—he’s an exceptional swordsman. His dedication and proficiency with a sword are impressive.

But it’s not just about physical skills. Luke is amazing with the younger campers. He’s got this natural ability to connect with them, to mentor them, and to make them feel important. He treats them with such patience and respect. You know how much that matters, seeing someone who doesn’t just see the younger kids as a burden but genuinely enjoys helping them grow.

So, don’t let your past experiences cloud your judgement about him. Luke isn’t just another face in the crowd; he’s someone who genuinely fits what you need in your life. It’s worth considering that maybe, just maybe, he could be the one who changes your perspective on love.”

Everyday, every damn day, Taylor goes on about how me and Luke would be great together. But I don’t see it. Love is stupid, Taylor is stupid for thinking I like him.

Try to keep it hidden Honey, we can see right through you (Oh, no) Girl, you can't conceal it We know how you're feelin', who you're thinkin' of

We were walking back from training one day when again, she started the whole luke chat. “Y/N, I need to be real with you here. It’s becoming impossible to ignore how you keep watching Luke. You spend hours just observing him as he trains. It's not just casual glances; you’re practically mesmerised by how he moves with such skill and focus. Every time he picks up his sword, there’s this look in your eyes that I can’t ignore.”

Excuse me? He’s the best swordsman at camp, obviously I'm going to watch him, to get pointers on how to get better, nothing else. 

“And it’s not just during training. When Luke interacts with the younger campers, your attention is entirely on him. You’ve seen how he takes the time to teach them, to encourage them, and how he genuinely connects with them on their level. You watch him as he patiently helps them learn and grow, and there’s this soft, almost admiring look on your face. It’s clear that you’re moved by how he treats them with such kindness and care.” “I just think it’s sweet how he takes his time teaching them, nothing more, I'd be the same way if anyone else did what he does.”

“I know you’re trying to play it cool and act like it doesn’t matter, but let’s be honest—your feelings are showing. It’s like you’re trying to hide behind this façade that love isn’t worth it or that you’re not interested, but it’s obvious to everyone around us. We all see how your face lights up when he’s around, how you hang onto his every word and action.”

“Woah, you need to slow down, someone might hear you, my face doesn't ‘light up’ ok Tay? I’m a listener, sorry if i listen when people talk to me, I don’t like luke, never have, never will.”

Stop denying it. We can see right through you. It’s not just about admiring him from a distance; it’s about the way you light up when you talk about him or when he’s in the room. Your actions are screaming that you have feelings for him, even if you’re trying to convince yourself otherwise. It’s ok if you like him, if you’re in love, it’ll be good to put your heart out again.”

Where my heart can get hurt again. I mumble walking away. I do not like Luke.

You swoon, you sigh Why deny it? Uh-oh It's too cliché (Ah-ah-ah-ah) I won't say I'm in love

Being in love feels like a foolish, unnecessary risk to me. It’s as if admitting that I’m in love would be an act of surrender, a sign of weakness. I keep telling myself that I don’t need a man to complete my life or make me happy. My independence has always been my strength, and the idea of falling for someone seems like it would undermine that strength.

I’ve managed perfectly well on my own, navigating life without relying on anyone else to validate my worth or fill a void. I’ve built my own stability and happiness through my own efforts, and I’m proud of that. The thought of opening myself up to love feels like an invitation to vulnerability and potential heartbreak, and I’m not ready to risk that.

Admitting that I’m in love would mean acknowledging that I need someone, and that’s something I’m determined to avoid. I don’t want to be in a position where my happiness depends on another person’s actions or feelings. I’ve seen how love can complicate things, how it can lead to disappointment and pain. It’s easier to stay detached and focus on myself rather than deal with the unpredictability of a romantic relationship.

I keep convincing myself that I’m better off without the emotional upheaval that love often brings. I’m self-sufficient and capable, and I don’t need anyone else to complete me or make me feel whole. Embracing love feels like it would disrupt the balance I’ve carefully created in my life. So, I put up a wall and tell myself that I’m not in love and that I don’t need a man to be content. It’s a way of protecting myself from the potential pain that comes with opening my heart.

I thought my heart had learned its lesson It feels so good when you start out (Ah) My head is screaming, "Get a grip, girl" "Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart out" 

I won’t put myself through that again. I’ve been burned too many times by love to let it happen once more. Each time I’ve opened my heart in the past, I’ve ended up disappointed and hurt. The cycle seems to repeat itself with every relationship I’ve been in: the initial charm and allure give way to a painful reality that shatters the illusion.

Every guy I've been with starts off presenting the best version of themselves—perfectly polished, attentive, and seemingly sincere. They act like they’re everything I’ve ever wanted, showing me a side that makes me believe in the possibility of a true connection. But as time goes on, it’s like a switch flips, and suddenly, they’re no longer the person I thought they were. The transformation happens so swiftly and so completely that it feels like a betrayal. One day, everything seems perfect, and the next, I’m left grappling with someone who’s changed overnight.

It’s as though these men wear masks, carefully crafted to win me over, only to discard them once they’ve achieved their goal. The facade falls away, revealing a reality that’s often disappointing and disheartening. I’ve come to expect that this pattern will repeat itself because it always has. Each time, my trust and hope are eroded, and it becomes harder to believe that someone can truly be genuine.

I’ve reached a point where my heart simply can’t handle any more of this emotional turbulence. The pain of investing my emotions into someone who ends up disappointing me is too much to bear. The cycle of hope and heartbreak has left me exhausted and wary. I’m trying to shield myself from further damage, to protect my heart from the predictable cycle of rising expectations followed by crushing disillusionment. The idea of putting myself through that kind of emotional rollercoaster again feels unbearable. So, I shut down, convinced that avoiding love is the best way to preserve my peace and prevent further pain.

You keep on denying Who you are and how you're feeling Baby, we're not buying Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling (Oh, no) Face it like a grown-up When ya gonna own up That you got, got, got it bad?

"Y/N, It’s becoming impossible for anyone who knows you to ignore the signs. Your reactions when he’s near, the way you talk about him—it all points to something deeper than just friendship or admiration. You might be trying to downplay it or act like it’s not a big deal, but everyone can see it. We all notice how you light up when he’s mentioned or how you subtly seek out opportunities to be around him.

"Well why don't you go out with him? Since you notice every small detail about him."

You’re not fooling anyone with your attempts to mask your feelings. The way you talk about him, how your mood shifts when he’s mentioned—these are all clear indicators that your feelings for Luke run deeper than you’re willing to admit. It’s written all over your face and in your actions. It’s not just a small crush or a fleeting interest; it’s something more significant, something you’re clearly struggling to acknowledge.

So why keep pretending? It’s okay to have feelings for someone, especially someone like Luke. The sooner you accept and embrace your feelings, the easier it will be to figure out what to do next. Hiding behind this facade of indifference only makes it harder for you to deal with the truth." "Taylor, I cannot keep having this convosation with you, it's getting on my nerves, please just drop it." I'm never falling in love, with anyone.

(Shoo, shoo-doo, doo-doo) No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no Give up, give in Check the grin, you're in love This scene won't play I won't say I'm in love You're doin' flips (Ooh-ooh) Read our lips, you're in love

The idea of opening myself up to another relationship feels like an invitation to endure more pain. The thought of investing my emotions again, only to face the inevitable disappointment, is almost too overwhelming to consider. My heart has reached its limit; it feels battered and fragile from past letdowns. The fear of another heartbreak is paralysing, making it hard to even entertain the idea of risking my emotional well-being once more.

I want to protect myself from the cycle of hope and disillusionment that has characterised my past experiences with love. The emotional toll has been significant, and I’m desperately trying to shield myself from further damage. The prospect of enduring another emotional upheaval is daunting, and my heart simply can’t handle the strain of another potential letdown. "Y/N, I know you don't like talking about it, but I csn't help it. Why csn't you see it? We’ve all see how you blush every single time you talk about Luke. It’s not just a subtle thing—your cheeks practically light up, and there’s this undeniable warmth in your voice. It’s impossible to ignore the way your eyes sparkle when his name comes up or how your entire demeanour shifts to something more animated and bright.

And let’s not forget how you watch him during mealtimes. It’s like you’re drawn to him in a way that’s hard to miss. You’re always glancing over at him, whether he’s chatting with the others, helping out with the food, or just enjoying a moment with his friends. You might think you’re being discreet, but it’s so obvious to everyone around. The way you steal glances and the way your gaze lingers just a little too long—these aren’t things you can easily brush off.

Trying to deny your feelings for Luke doesn’t change the reality of the situation. Your reactions and behaviour make it clear to all of us what you’re trying to ignore. We see through the act of nonchalance you’re putting on. It’s not just a case of mild interest; it’s something deeper. We can tell that you’re emotionally invested, even if you’re not ready to admit it to yourself.

It’s time to face the truth about your emotions. The more you try to suppress or deny them, the more obvious it becomes to everyone around you. There’s no need to hide or pretend anymore."

Taylor says before walking off.

I keep convincing myself that nothing will come of this, and that denying my feelings will make it all go away. I’m certain that nothing will happen between us, and so I refuse to acknowledge my true emotions.

Despite my best efforts to conceal my feelings, it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore them. I try to pretend otherwise, but my actions and reactions betray me. Deep down, I think I’m in love, but I can’t bring myself to say it.

You're way off base (Shoo-doo, shoo-doo) I won't say it (She won't say it, no) Get off my case (Sha-da, sha-da) I won't say it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

I’m adamant about not admitting my feelings. It’s a protective mechanism to avoid vulnerability and potential heartache. I want to be left alone to keep my emotions private.

Girl, go be proud It's okay, you're in love

Admitting my feelings would mean exposing myself to the possibility of heartache, and I’m not ready to take that risk. The emotional turmoil that follows when feelings aren’t reciprocated, or when they lead to disappointment, is something I’m determined to avoid. I’ve learned from past experiences that letting my guard down can lead to deep, sometimes overwhelming pain. By keeping my feelings to myself, I maintain a sense of control and safety, shielding my heart from potential harm.

I want to be left alone to keep my emotions private because it feels like the only way to maintain my emotional stability. Sharing my feelings would mean inviting scrutiny and potentially having to navigate the complexities of another person’s reactions and responses. It’s easier to keep everything internal, to process my emotions in solitude where I can control the narrative and avoid the unpredictability of others' reactions.

This private handling of my emotions is a means of self-preservation. It’s my way of creating a barrier between myself and the risk of emotional pain. The prospect of vulnerability, of exposing my inner thoughts and feelings, is daunting and unsettling. So, I prefer to keep my emotions hidden, managing them in the confines of my own mind where I can protect myself from the uncertainty and potential hurt that comes with opening up to others.

However, Taylor did not agree with my choices.

"Listen, Y/N, it’s really important for you to understand something: it’s completely okay to embrace your feelings. Love, as complicated and intimidating as it can be, is not something to be ashamed of or to hide from.

You deserve to be happy. If you have feelings for Luke, acknowledging them doesn’t make you weak or foolish—it makes you human.

There’s no shame in being vulnerable; it’s a sign of strength and courage. It’s a step towards allowing yourself to experience love and all the happiness that can come with it.

Hiding from your feelings or pretending they don’t exist only prolongs the emotional struggle and prevents you from fully engaging with the positive aspects of life."

"Yeah, whatever Tay, I'll see you later."

She raises her eyes at me, noticing I don't tell her to shut up about the topic.

At least, out loud I won't say I'm in love

It feels ridiculous to admit that I might be in love. I’ve convinced myself that I don’t need a man to be happy and that I’m fine on my own. Declaring my feelings feels like an invitation to heartbreak, something I’ve vowed to avoid.

I do have feelings for Luke. I’ve come to realise that I am in love with him, but I can't bring myself to openly acknowledge it. I’ll keep these emotions to myself, hidden away where I can manage them privately.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll tell him?

Doubt it.

[kenta-torture]

You need to share any of your kenta headcanon

ffffffffffuuck YAY assorted kenta headcanons in no particular order. wrote this in under two hours i think so ill probably make another post if i think of more.

-i think kenta is like blorbo obsessed with ryu. like thats his favorite character -> in the event tcw made another asmr but of like. those fucking goku videos telling you to brush your teeth. kenta would be rewatching that shit everyday. rotting in bed and getting up because ryu would probably want him to.

-for his birthday they let him into the smoking section to light a candle in his mouth <- meant to draw this a while ago but im lazy. (they had to cut it early because he started coughing and shit from the triple smokers in your proximity combo)

-currently trying to get a 3d printer from inukai. reasons vary from printing anime weeb shit from whatever things he likes to let him print a gun. please. (he would ask shion but 1. that thing is big as hell 2. shion would probably only do it if kenta was willing to print dildos or something and kenta would not. also air ventilation blah blah blah)

-wants to start a cult to be cool and edgy but he also hates his fans

-in the event that he gets into gardening (1 (one) plant) he would get snapdragons bcs 1. they fuck 2. theyre cool 3. he is 15 what more can you ask of him. ignore that snapdragons likely cant be grown in a pot in a prison/whatever the fuck he is now.

-sucks at consuming literally any drug ever. i need him to fail at something

-wants to be usagi so fucking bad (nonchalant. chill.) like at least reo has the self awareness to be like yeah momonga is so me <-reo fans peer review that one i dont know jack shit about reo

-can they utilize that collar on him. i need to see him being held back like a rabid dog or a child with those leash backpacks.

-i like the idea of post survive cozmez and kenta interactions still being stray vs stray but with the underlying layer of oh i know what you fucking are with your mommy issues and shit. theyre like cousins to me i guess.

alright projection hour

-fucking hates those shit ass rings that are made from spoons why cant you enjoy a perfectly good fucking spoon oh my fucking god why must you behead and separate its parts LET THE SPOON BE AFUCKING SPOON CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT ENJOY A PIECE OF ARTISTIC BRILLIANCE THAT IS USEFUL IN EVERYDAY LIFE YOU WASTE THE HEAD OF THE SPOON FOR NO REASON OHHH MY FUCKING GOD

-iron deficiency -> enjoys adding more salt than he should to meals

-gets extremely nauseous when nervous -> i doubt that would be of any importance now but oh oh little kenta in his first days of prison. what if you were 8 and betrayed by the only good person in your life and sent to prison. what if you were 8 and up until then you never fit in with kids your age and now youre in loud hell and cant fit in with the adults because youre not a criminal.

-experiences what i call gamer sleep paralysis. basically you fall asleep kinda (this only happens if the videos i watch in the bg are too quiet) and are stuck exactly in place. you can see your sight getting darker by the second so you have to spam trying to move your fingers and shit before the darkness gets your ass. speed run strats.

-doesnt like raw pineapple but will eat it grilled

-has bitten people before. out of aggression. has gotten into screaming matches that devolved into barking over mic. i am normal and so is he.

ZY. THE MAN YOU ARE

There is something really attractive to me about the tone of your stories (not to say that they are similar. Because they are each very interesting in their own way) being all about noticing someone that sees themselves as invisible. All eyes (heh) on them, hardly leaving space for the insecurity to root in again

Be it Zy's antics or Saran's devotion attention, they both are able to bring out their partner from their heads and it's a SIGHT to behold. Love the characterization love the dynamics love the scenarios. Love the stories

It's always great to see a character become a healthier version of themselves and it's even better to see it happen from the actions of the ones who love them

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF YOUR STORIES

-🦜

KAJSBCKJASCBKJ IM SO HAPPPYYY

no but its ok i get it. the stories are not the same at all (amygdala, a bittersweet love story abt two ppl completing their wishes together, and kingslayers, a story abt a chaotic group of lost souls growing together like a family, growing and healing together and stopping evil from consuming the world) but the dynamics between the couples are similar (ig i have a specific thing LMAO i swear my other canon couple (priest and deity) from another story is not like this, youri and abel are also not like this akjcsbjksabck)

vika has been neglected and ignored by the world due to his condition. he really is dead to them to the point he constantly thinks he is dead (also bc of his broken senses) and became so isolated, it led him to the verge of suicide

vin does not meet the average elf/standards and gets overlooked for his "normal" everything. hes incredibly insecure and doubting himself and his abilities so when he was being used for his immense talent (by the king) he didnt even notice, too happy about being acknowledged and praised like the others

saran loves vika deeply, never taking his eyes off of him, always being near him to show him hes there, vika is alive, hes being seen and it just being saran is enough for vika. he doesnt want anyone or anything else. just the eyes of his love on him

zy pushes vin to become more independent and confident in himself, pushes vin out of the shadows and forward so everyone can see him and how amazing and worthy he is to be with everyone, contrary to what vin himself thinks. zy is so confident and flashy and tall and pulling attention easily, but he rather grabs vin and holds him up high like "hey look at this cool lil guy i found"

i drew this meme for fun but tbh this rlly just perfectly captures zy and his need to show off vin to the world and be acknowledged for being himself kjabscjk

saran lovingly and patiently showers vika in affection and brings him back whenever he gets insecure; zy causes chaos to get vins attention and gets him to show off how capable he actually is whenever hes insecure. in one chapter, the usual unserious, silly zy even scolds titus and bell for leaving vin behind and tells them to apologize and include him in their battles akjagf

(zy doesnt tell how much he believes in vin and how capable and strong he is bc he knows vin will think hes mocking or lying to him. only later, when theyre much closer, does he say those things all casually and have vin almost cry and pass out from his heart beating too fast kajbcskjabjk)

so yeah!!! they rlly are similar in the sense of "when no one else looked, i was there. i believe in you. i will always watch over you"

This is a really random question, but do you have any strong opinion on "fanservice"? Specifically talking about sexual fanservice like the ones you see on ecchi animes and shit. It can be "extreme fanservice" like characters stripping naked on screen or "mild" like a character being specifically designed to be attractive to the public.

Because i see so much discusions about it on multiple communitties and i cant help but think that the ones who are absolutelly against this always seem so... childish. They react to a female character showing 10% of her boob the same way a toddler reacts to seeing people kiss on a movie and i find that so embarassing and annoying.

I stand by the opinion that there is nothing bad with fanservice, as artists should have the freedom to do whatever with their things and appeal to whatever audience they want. Even if sometimes i dont like it, that doesnt make me entitled to demand the artist to change it to my likings, ill just stop watching that and go consume instead something i like.

I dont understand why its so normalized to be such a fucking baby when a popular show or game has a midly sexual scene thats easilly ignorable but people decide to make such a fuss about it. I dont think its healthy for grown people to be THIS scared of seeing anything remotelly sexual on fiction, but aparentelly its the norm and if you disagree with them youre a "gooner" or a porn addict.

I also stand with the opinion that nobody truly "hates" fanservice, in fact everyone loves you. Its just that most people fucking hate when the fanservice isnt aimed at their very specific tastes and its been normalized to throw a big fucking fit everytime that happens making people not realize how ridiculous they look doing that.

I have seen youre such an open minded person when talking about controversial things in fiction, so do you have an opinion on this specific theme?

If this question is too weird or random for you then feel free to not answer.

Oh, I hate when people throw an over-the-top hissy about fanservice. Because it's true, everyone loves it when it's their specific thing. Fandom culture has gotten so shockingly sex negative that even 10% of an adult boob is disgusting and for gooners and probably pedophilia.

(And no, there's nothing inherently wrong with porn or gooning to it.)

At worst, fanservice is annoying and feels out of place in whatever story it's in. That's all.

Angst! because why not (something happened so this makes me feel better as its losely based on what happened. Plus its kinda sweet even if its angsty. Its bittersweet and its human.)

Hobie! Who has to watch you grieve the loss (whether it be a pet, a friend, or a family)

Hobie! Who watches his lover become a shell of themselves. How his lover becomes bundled in this grief and loss. How it controls the person he loves

Hobie! Hes trying his best, but he gets worried youll do something. Hes scared. He doesnt know what else more he can do to help.

Hobie! Who has tried almost everything. He knows how bad your feeling. But he has to watch as theres just no reaction. Your beautiful eyes losing the glint that was knce there.

Hobie! Who has to find some way so starts getting creative. Because he watches as his lover bedrots and doesnt want it to hurt you

Hobie! Who knows your trying to hide it because its ugly and your at an all time worse

Hobie! Who becomes sneakier them ever. Brushing your hair when your asleep and finding other ways to take care of you. Ans softly love you.

Hobie! Who soon is able to get you out of bed. Tears stain the cheeks, there was none left to cry. Hobie can see how puffy your face, and more specifically your eyes are. How red they are. How theres ghe little imprints where you can tell youve been crying. The streaked lines, and the bags.

Hobie who just wants to give you all the pthermore reasons to love you. And tries finding ways to comfort you and make sure you dont fall far into any depression. Because hobie doesnt want to lose you. He knows how it feels to spiral. So at the end of the day. And he finally got you out of the house. Hes your hero.

Hes your hero…. Hes your-

Tragedy struck. Hobie can barely hear anything hut the ringing in his ear. His spider senses go off. As he waves his hand. Smoke consuming his being as he looks for you. Treading lightly on the ground and what happened. He trips a bit but hes look under and everywhere. Until he finds you. And he hugs you close. And tries to cover your mouth because he can tell you arent in the best position. He knows he cant lose you. Hed spiral. And his hands cling at you as his head is blaming himself. He almost forgets how well he can feel your heartbeat. All hes doing is blaming himself. He took you out and you got hurt. Its his fault. It’s his fault, how would you react to seeing him when you arent passed out. You are gonna hate him, its what his thoughts repeat. He can barely even think, he doesnt heard you cough or grip onto him. The high pitched ringing and his heavy breathing as he gasped for air takes place. Its all he can hear. He thinks he almost killed you. He doesnt notice your breathe on him and that your still alive and okay.

Oof I feel for this R 😭 good thing they have Hobie to watch over them and help them in their grief

Hobie doing everything he can to make u feel better hits so hard like r is so lucky to have someone like him 😔😔🥲

Girl I--- 😭😭😭 Hobieeee noooo it's not your fault!!!!!!

[invivoinsomnium]

if i were to knock you up it would definitely be medical, accelerated, i wanna see how much you can withstand. you dont know how you got here, but that doesnt matter now, you can just feel an intense burning in your core. you look down and you're swelling, the gown you're wearing is tight and tenting with your bump. ive been here the whole time with a couple nurses, but you havent noticed, obviously preoccupied, maybe screaming. i push away your gown, revealing a firm and shiny bump, something lazily rolling around inside, gaining strength by the second. the nurses start to glance at me, then the monitors, looking a little anxious. "i think that's enough," one finally says, but i ignore them, focused on your bump, gently pressing into the straining skin. "a little more," i mutter, waiting what feels like another eternity to you before i pull out a syringe and inject you with it. the growth stops, your offspring writhing, flipping, its head pressing towards your cervix with the first intense contraction. how big does it feel?

I love this. Usually I'm not a fan of rapid pregnancy (I'm blaming The First Omen for my interest in it at the moment) but I do like this.

I can imagine lying there, confused but before I can react or say anything I can feel that something isn't right. At first its nausea and then a burning sensation like indegestion, followed by a server cramp. I scream, back arching as whatever is inside of me starts to glow. The gown I'm wearing is slowly pushed upwards, I can feel my organs shifting being moved to make way for the new life inside of me. What should have happened gradually over the course of months is happening in the matter of minutes and it's consuming my energy. Nothing prepares me for when you push away the gown and I'm left staring at a life filled orb of a belly, the belly button jutting upwards and something very obviously moving inside of me.

"Oh god, get it out, this isn't right!" I'm in panic but my words are breathless as I struggle with the exhaustion the pregnancy has left me with. I regret my words almost instantly when you inject something into my system. My belly lurches forward as whatever is inside of my moves into postion. I can feel it, so large, pressing heavily on my cervix. The first contraction takes me by surprise, my back practically arching off the bed as the nurses move to secure my legs in stirrups and spread them wide apart. I look at you with a mixture of hatred and fear. We both know that I can't stop this, that the pain will gradullay get worse and then I will be unable to do anything but obey my body's desire to push.

SOME NAMEKIAN SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY FOR FUNZIES

or: why do namekians look like that? : the sequel to "why does namek look like that"

disclaimer: im no dragon ball expert, or biology expert, this is all just for fun and my own personal satisfaction because thinking about alien biology makes me very excited. what im doing is a little closer to hard sci-fi than the type of sci-fi generally present in the franchise, and i am straight up ignoring some aspects of canon here to make a version of namekian physiology that feels more realistic and interesting to me personally, so this is more of an au than an analysis (but i mean. this is an extremely retcon-able franchise anyway) also im of the opinion that namekians are in fact not ken dolls down there, and im gonna talk about what i think they might have going on so JUST A WARNING in case that sorta thing grosses u out or whatever. i can and will speculate about namekian junk 👍also this ended up running kinda long so... click at ur own risk!

CANON STUFF IM IGNORING (for now)

namekians getting bigger

this happens in db and super hero movie. but im ignoring it because it doesnt make sense and isnt interesting enough for me to magical hand-wave it away. like supposedly it gives piccolo no greater strength than at his normal size yet it gives him more leverage when pushing cell?? also if hes the exact same strength that kind of implies to me that he has like …. the same mass too… which unless piccolo is SUPER dense already (and i dont see him breaking any floor boards.. but maybe thats why hes outside all the time) then his super low density would make him kinda…. weak… kind like how its easier to blow away an open sheet of paper than a balled-up sheet of paper. im sure there are some ways you could make this fun but the franchise just doesn't do anything interesting enough with this for me personally so im ignoring it

eggs coming out the mouth

this is a controversial one SORRY it just makes absolutely zero sense to me… they obviously at minimum drink and breathe out of their mouths why on earth would their eggs exit from there too… im also going to argue that even though they dont need food they do in fact have a digestive system so unless their mouth is the most horrible cloaca in the world they have more than one major orifice anyway (can you imagine having a tongue and teeth down there..) if this is really important to you then maybe this could be something certain namekians CAN do but generally dont, or its something that like . king piccolo can do specifically (because hes like. an evil demon or whatever. i dunno im not super familiar with dragon ball demon lore tbh)

also like... even if you REALLY wanna stick to the idea of namekians as a species that doesn't require food and never did, they should still have liquid waste. even plants have liquid waste. and since namekians dont seem to be shedding off big outer layers of skin on the reg (though this could be a neat concept, i like the idea of someone encountering a piccolo-husk) it makes sense that they'd have an additional orifice for shedding waste anyway. so it just makes sense to give that orifice one more job. even as narrow as namekian hips are, the egg has a whole lot more space than it would if it went through their fucking throat

NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THAT COVERED:

🟢⭐DISPELLING COMMON NAMEKIAN BIOLOGY MYTHS⭐🟢

or, stuff that's commonly assumed to be canon that i think is not

FIRST MYTH: namekians cannot eat and digest food, and have always sustained themselves off of exclusively water

they CAN sustain themselves off of water, but i think of them as being able to eat and benefiting from food in certain ways. there's been some examples of them eating, but im not really concerned with the fringe examples of namekians eating from video games, rather we know namekians either have or used to have the capacity to consume food because they have teeth! (and a tongue, and a uvula!)

and from the looks of it, some serious canines too! they dont just eat, they eat meat! given their ability to fight and create weapons, i think of namekians as likely being or having at some point been omnivorous apex predators like homo-sapiens. if you wanna believe that they don't actively need to eat anymore, then id like to think that some dragon ball magic had to happen to accelerate namekian evolution, because there's just way too many vestigial structures otherwise - if you're hand-waving the amount of energy required for namekians to be able to move around as much as they do, and assume that they photosynthesize or something like plants, and don't mate (which im about to argue against but we'll get to that) then...why would they even evolve to walk around at all? what im thinking is that namekians do need to eat, just very infrequently as we see in canon, and just used to need to eat a lot more. im attributing this change in namekians need for food to the big ecological disaster that gets talked about in dbz, so you could think of them as having pre-disaster biology and post-disaster biology, which accounts for namekians being able to sustain themselves on so little while also being a species that has so many body parts just for eating, and that eventually farms and has advanced technology. pre-disaster namekians ate frequently, possibly requiring a calorie content comparable to humans, and post-disaster biology occurred so that namekians could survive the kind of ecological disasters that guru lives through - and that they likely have to live through quite frequently on a planet with the kind of tides namek would have, being a planet with three suns and all. lots of tsunamis, earth-quakes (namek-quakes?), etc. so maybe a sequence of these disasters caused them to evolve to need very little food. so, like i said, if you'd like to think of them as needing no food, then the dragon balls would have to be involved for me to find that believable that since a mouth full of parts clearly meant for eating is just too evolutionary expensive to stick around as vestigial structures for any other reason.

but assuming they aren't completely vestigial, then there's a few different options we can consider, like that post-disaster namekians can survive without food and under extreme circumstances for a very long time, but they still gotta eat, like, once in a while. my current favorite theory is that they're a bit like tardigrades, and post-disaster they've evolved (or magic'd) into extremeophiles. that is that, they can survive extreme circumstances, such as going almost indefinitely without eating, but they enter a sort of cryptobiosis-like state where some of their functions stop working, such as reproduction and development. in other words, not eating won't kill them, but if a namekian wants to grow or have children, then they're gonna have to eat. they'd also likely rarely experience a hunger or desire for food because of this.

this would explain why all the namekians who are stated or implied to have had children look like they're carrying body fat. they're the ones who eat food! it just doesnt really make sense for that to just be the results of them aging... the fats gotta come from somewhere. and even for humans, atrophying due to aging comes as often in the form of losing weight as it does gaining it, but we've yet to see an older looking namekian who's thin. rather it makes more sense to think that these namekians were eating since they were planning to produce offspring, and rather than eat too little and have their egg come out underdeveloped, they eat more than they need to develop the egg and the rest of the energy gets stored away as fat, possibly never to be used since their cryptobiosis-like state where they don't need food is sort of a default for them once they're fully developed.

it would also explain why dende ages so much differently from both piccolo and gohan (besides retconning) piccolo just kind of jumps to adult form - much faster than both humans and saiyans, while dende's development kind of seems to freeze for a few years. their development, rather than being stunted, can just be frozen indefinitely if needed. (why dende is choosing not to develop i have no explanation for... he's just in no hurry i guess? or just isnt hungry? maybe there's some cultural explanation there) this goes well with namekians being a long-lived species too. if there's no food or very little food available until they're 100 years old, then they can just wait until they're 100 to finish developing and reproduce.

there's also something to be said here about how namekians dont have separate sexes but there are still kind of two types: "warrior" and "dragon clan" namekians, and maybe they have differences in development too, like warrior namekians needing to eat more often than dragon clan namekians, who might only ever feel the need to eat while developing or while producing offspring. although, i'd personally rather think of that distinction as more cultural than it is biological, as it's just more interesting to me that way. like, the natural genetic diversity that makes some namekians more equipped for fighting would cause them to choose or be chosen to become battle-types.

SECOND MYTH: namekians reproduce exclusively asexually

a lot of people assume this since asexual reproduction is the only type of namekian reproduction we see or hear about, BUT I DONT THINK ITS TRUE! they CAN reproduce asexually, but they have a LOT of genetic diversity, even more than most sexually reproducing species. so WAY to much to be an exclusively asexually reproducing species. just look at any picture of a group of namekians, they're clearly not all clones of each other.

toriyama said in an interview that they "may be hermaphrodites" and i like that! being a species of simultaneous hermaphrodites that can also self-fertilize goes well with the whole slug thing too, so thats the reproduction method that i think makes the most sense.

some species produce a small number of offspring at a time and invest more heavily into their offspring, and some species produce a large number of offspring at a time and don't invest very much into each individual, using the larger number as their reproductive strategy since the majority of their offspring will die off (think elephants on one end of the extreme, and spiders being the other end). given that namekians appear to only be able to have one child at a time, and seem to have tight-knit social groups that seem to care a lot for their children indicates a lot of investment into each child, so it just doesn't make sense to me that they would only be able to reproduce asexually anyway, as that tends to fit better with the reproductive strategy of having a large number of offspring who mostly die off. i think of sexual reproduction as being their preferred method, and asexual reproduction as being the alternative method they've evolved as extremeophiles, only choosing this method when there aren't any other namekians around to get genetic material from.

🟢⭐WHAT IM EXTRAPOLATING FROM THESE THINGS⭐🟢

knowing that namekians reproduce sexually means we can do some fun extrapolation about how they do about that ! (or, fun to me at least. are we not all excited about namekian junk??)

SO namekians obviously have to breathe, we see piccolo breathing all the time - android 17 even points it out at some point - and like i said i think of them as having digestive tracts (again, whether you'd like to think of them as vestigial or otherwise is up to you) so it kind of just makes more sense for their internal stuff to be structured like us primates in the same way so much of their external stuff is. seeing the way piccolo breathes (and like. has a nose on his face) indicates that their respiratory systems are in their chests too, and their clothes seem to cover all the same bits we cover, so they probably have at least one other major orifice down there. either they have just one orifice for both expelling waste and mating like a cloaca, as amphibians and reptiles do, or they have more than one like we and most other mammals do. you could pretty much justify any genital situation you want, hermaphroditic slugs have penises*, and so do primates of course, so if you like the idea of piccolo having a dick there's justification for it 👍there's honestly ways to justify all kinds of genital situations. its the only external part of namekian bodies we never actually see, so if this sorta thing interests you like it does me, get creative! use ur imagination! the only thing that i feel would have to be pretty set it stone for me to believe it would be at least one orifice for expelling waste and eggs and for in-taking sperm (or sperm packages...yknow how it is with slugs) and this same orifice could also expel sperm as cloacae do if you wanna go no-penis route, it just doesnt have to. they could be mostly internal or mostly external, or internal until they're about to be used, or internal until a certain stage in development, whatever boats your float. again, many options here. i encourage you to imagine the version of namekian genitals that pleases you the most.

im also imagining that namekians can store sperm for later fertilization too (like slugs!), since it kind of doesn't make sense to me that such a small population would have so much genetic diversity after all descending from a single member otherwise. so im imagining that guru had sperm stored up from various other namekians before the big extinction, and that guru's first batch of sons had two genetic parents - that is, guru himself and whatever namekian's sperm he had stored. and possibly even more than two! some species can have three or more genetic parents, which would do a lot to help increase the genetic diversity of a population after a huge population wipe-out like the one referenced in the namek saga of dbz.

also, sexual reproduction means sexual selection! since we're assuming all namekians are the same sex, any primary or secondary sex characteristics would apply to all namekians, but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be any selection. whether an individual in a breeding pair would choose to take on the male or female role would depend on a LOT of factors, for example being the male would be less costly, but if sperm can be stored it wouldn't guarantee it would be used, and in circumstances where few breeding partners are available, taking on the female role would be more advantageous (which, as we've established, is a situation namekians would be frequently subjected to). not to mention all the cultural circumstances that would influence which role is more advantageous at any given time. im thinking that most namekians would probably experience being both roles at some point in their lives, depending on these circumstances.

anyway, i find it fun to think about the traits that namekians would consider desirable in a mate. for a species like namekians, a lot of those traits would probably be cultural, which id like to tackle later in another post, but in the mean time i wanna talk about what physical traits that namekians might register as secondary sex characteristics. like i said their primary sex characteristics, like genitals and internal organs, are a bit of a mystery, BUT there's one trait that namekians have that i don't think can be explained any other way than as a secondary sex characteristic!

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PINK MARKINGS!! there isn't really any reason for their skin texture to be different in these sections, and it's obviously not providing any sort of camouflage. they're super bright, and contrast directly with the rest of their skin.

also, it looks like its absent on babies! so... LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERISTIC! im thinking that these markings are a sign of sexual maturity and health, like pubic and armpit hair in humans, or like peacock plumage. they also look kind of... muscle accentuating? the horizontal stripes serve to emphasize these curves a bit. which means that this is a trait that at least some namekians are selecting for. apparently some namekians find big muscles sexy... NEAT!! though given their variety, and given the fact that "warrior" namekians are in the minority, it's certainly not the only thing they're selecting for. as a long-lived species with no gestation period (because of the eggs), namekians would probably benefit from mating with a diverse variety of partners over the course of their lives. lots of fun material for cultural worldbuilding here!

🟢⭐OTHER MISCELLANEOUS IDEAS⭐🟢

~another fun reproduction option~

so... namekians dont actually have to be simultaneous hermaphrodites. dende doesn't seem to have any concept of sex, but it might just be because his concept of sex is inextricably linked to his concept of age, so the "two types" of namekian may just be old and young. namekians are hierarchical, and their hierarchy isn't linked to any sex they have at birth or assigned gender role from that sex, but it is based on age. this hierarchy could easily just be cultural, possibly a cultural consequence of the oldest namekian being responsible for preventing extinction of the species, but if it isn't just cultural, then their hierarchy actually kind of resembles clownfish hierarchy, and clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites. they're all born male, and then whenever the dominant female in a group dies, the largest and strongest (and generally, oldest) male becomes female and takes over. fish are also pretty much the only hermaphroditic vertebrates, so it makes sense to model namekians after them, too.

other people have pointed out that older namekians are colored a bit differently than younger namekians, but we never really see this happen gradually. that is, we never see a middle-aged namekian with a skin tone between these two tones, so there isn't really any reason to think that it's a gradual consequence of them aging. you can kind of assume from this then that the color change comes from a sort of second puberty, as a result of their sex change - or rather, sex addition, as they still have the ability to self-fertilize after this. so before they change their sex, namekians only have the ability to fertilize other namekians, and can't produce their own off-spring asexually, whereas after changing their sex namekians can produce their own offspring, and can self-fertilize but can't fertilize other namekians. also for some namekians, it also looks like the pink and red part turns yellow and orange, so that could be indicative of a part of their sex change too? we do see the pink on king piccolo, but it seems strange to me that it would "fade" to that color as a result of atrophy due to aging, so im thinking it might be something that triggers when they change their sex too.

~alternatative explanation for the canine thing~

if you don't like the idea of a species as peaceful as namekians being meat-eaters, i have another explanation for you! having teeth at all definitely indicates a species that consumes food, however those sharp-looking canines don't have to have evolved as a consequence of eating meat. there's at least one herbivore with big sharp fangs too!

CHECK THIS FREAK OUT !! water deers have fangs for the same reason other hooves animals have antlers! so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think of namekians as having their sharp canines for the same reasons. it could be a fun secondary sex characteristic!

ALRIGHT THATS ALL I GOT FOR NOW THANKS FOR READING!! I HAD A LOTTA FUN WRITING THIS feel free to argue abt any points made here btw!! if anyone's got any ideas about namekian biology id love to hear em!

[the-s1lly-corner]

Sorry I'm lazy also starving for this material your serving up here but may I be served... a TADC cast X Food themed reader like they look like food and smell great. If you don't feel like doing the whole cast just serve me up Caine.

Thank you ♡ Sleep well hun

U(•ㅅ•)U

Caine, Jax, and Kinger x food!themed reader!

was originally going to do the entire cast but i only have ideas for a few soooooooo you're getting caine and a few others! reader is going to be a different food only because i got ideas for specific treats for each character!

CAINE:

youre cotton candy! the classic pink one! i mean thats like. one of the top circus foods, i think? popcorn is another option, though.... hmm... both could work! if you smell nice i think he would make a few comments on it, perhaps even lolling his tongue out to really sell the point. though, i dont think caine would be bold enough to pick a part of you off and eat it.... though he has been tempted... of course, this is assuming you can regenerate your pieces and its not painful, if it is hes not going to even think about it... will eat if you offer, though. i DO think hes going to have to guard you from bubble though, so theres that to look out for... if we're going with the cotton candy theme, he makes sure to avoid IHAs that involve water, and carries an umbrella over you whenever theres water... not because you would melt... no thats too morbid, though i can see it happening... no more so admins idea is just that you get sticky

JAX:

sour candy, no specific one but personally the first one that comes to mind is something like sour patch kids.... reason i picked this is because jax is an absolute FIEND for sour candy imo and i think it would be funny. if you have detachable parts like zooble, and if you can regenerate unlike zooble, just know hes probably going to pluck a piece of you off and eat you. i just imagine like how princess bubble gum was taking scoops from that ice cream lady in the episode the lich was first introduced, or how she can just rip parts of her body off with ease. thats... actually kind of how im imagining the reader, just sour candy instead of bubblegum! must admit, admin hardly ever gets sour candies so hes unsure of what they smell like, but if youre fruit scented i think jax would mess with you by taking comically large whiffs around you just because he thinks the look you give him is funny

KINGER:

youre theme is oranges. for multiple reasons. 1, admin loves the smell of citrus. but also oranges help with anxiety and stress, at least according to admins brief google search (and the internet wouldnt lie!!!!!!!/j), and it sounds more appealing than avocados and oysters...... moving on, i think this pairs well with kinger because this man is absolutely riddled with anxiety and stress, so having you around with your smell does good for him! the thought of consuming or tasting you never crosses his mind, oddly enough.. kind of pauses when you offer to give him something, even reassuring him that it doesnt hurt and you'll regenerate... i think he would flat out refuse, though.. mix of "im not going to eat you" and "i dont want you to give yourself up for me, metaphorically AND literally"

shrugs.. likes nuzzling into you when you guys nap together

[kinardsboy]

I read your "rambling post" about some peoples insistance that Eddie is gay and that Chris is the most important thing in Bucks life and tbh I think the answer as to why is simply fanfiction brain rot. There are a lot of BoBs whose opinions are based on what they read on AO3 and not what they see on the show- I´m sure a huge number of them do not even watch anymore. they consume edits created by other Buddie shippers. I think this is also why you can´t get any examples for any kind of romantic inclination between Buck and Eddie from them that happend after season 4 and even those are not as cut and dry as they make them out to be. The Will scene is not a love declaration. Buck being upset over Eddie getting shot is not a sign of his romantic feelings for Eddie. However, in all the fanfic and edits that followed it is. I think people are quite literally conflating fanfic with what happend in the show and can´t tell the difference anymore

Hey anon,

I totally agree with your analysis. I was working on a post but deleted it where I basically said that shipping has ruined people’s perception of shows and how they interact with fandoms and buddie is just proof of that. Dont get me wrong I love shipping people, but I feel as though a majority of these types of buddie shippers only watch a show if there’s a ship to be had, instead of enjoying a show just because its good.

Because canon 911 doesnt actually have a lot of buddie content, they turn to edits and fanfiction and then forget or replace canon in their head because they like it better. Now there’s nothing wrong with preferring fanon to canon, but it becomes a problem when you genuinely start acting like its canon and try to pull “evidence” from stuff that never happened or that you’re straight up interpreting wrong.

As for the will, it is definitely not a love declaration and I actually think its a little unfair. I understand where Eddie was coming from, his parents arent the best and there aren’t a lot of other people to watch Chris, but it was something he shouldve asked Buck about first.

Buddies love to joke and say he baby trapped buck and while I can fill a whole post about why that’s nasty to joke about I will just say, baby trapping isn’t something to joke about; but its also not what happened in the will scene. Eddie was trying to reassure Buck that he wasn’t a failure and that Eddie trusted him. Thats all. Like you said it wasnt a love declaration.

Ryan (or Tim? Honestly I forget) *edit* ryan said he didn’t understand why eddie would do that, yet Buddies chose to ignore this. They also repeatedly ignore the fact that Ryan and the show has doubled down on Eddie’s heterosexuality.

So yeah, heres more rambling lol. Thanks for the ask anon!

[vampireknitting]

It feels like the agoraphobia is winning.

Every time I try to explain or express this, I'm getting told I'm just being paranoid. I'm hyperventilate because I was constantly groped, tickled, and touched in high school by people who claimed to be my friends. It didn't matter how often I said stop or don't touch me. "Your reaction is soooo funny." I was regularly bruising them, punching and slapping them, screaming fuck off. And all that happened was my labeling of obnoxious, I'm loud and annoying. I'm too aggressive, a spaz and sadistic. When I tried to leave that group of people, they told people I was crazy and angry. That I was just the blunt bitch who doesnt care about people. I was told for years that I was just the mean version of my "bestie", nothing more than something like her.

Any amount of my disagreement was me freaking out or ranting. It didn't matter how I worded things or spoke. It only stopped when I stopped talking or even attempted to defend myself and just deadeye stared at people. Every time I brought up anxiety or depression I was attention seeking, or it would be brushed off because I wasn't cutting myself.

It becomes impossible to speak for yourself or defend yourself when you are used against yourself. How do I speak when the stomach acid is burning my throat so bad I can feel it in my nose? It's so bad that if you don't keep swallowing, you'll projectile vomit. When your whole body is shaking so bad that you feel faint? That trying to hype yourself up to simply ask what they think taking a photo of you smoking is gonna do only to be frozen in place trying to breathe as the tears steal your vision.

I smoke outside because it helps keep the agoraphobia from consuming me. The simple exposure of people makes me feel human. And yet either I'm failing to explain myself or something because I keep being told that I should be allowed to smoke in my alcove because i have a doctors note and medical reason for consuming weed. I'm doing my best to ignore people outright while outside while pausing so I don't blow smoke in people's faces.

We've done the steps needed for me to not be on the sidewalk. But they won't email or acknowledge anything. So now its for absolute certainty that we have to find a lawyer and go to a tenant board just to get this stupid conversation going again because the new leases they give out claims they can boot you for smoking on property within 24 hours. And yet I see pot smokers on property being ignored by the fucking man who goes out of his way to tell me I can't. The same fucking man who told me I can still walk so I must take my ass to the sidewalk. I've been told by about 4 random people, whom I don't know, that they've watched me be harassed off property by him.

And all of this seems so fucking pointless because my darling very well may lose his job because after 7 months of continuous work and pestering the internet is still being fucky.

I had the worst panic attack in a good while sobbing so violently i dry heaved for a good few minutes. I've been stuck, and reaching out hasn't gotten anywhere because my good friend is the most annoying devils advocate. I'm desperately trying to keep from suffocating, and yet my words are meaningless puffs of air. How do you express your exasperation with yourself over a situation when the one you're talking to seems more concerned with going to bat for people neither of you know? It's not passing judgment when people are consistent and keep doing the same weird shit. How do you convince the anxiety your safe when you watch a another girl walk up to your building stop by the windows, type and glance at you, spin to just outright face you, keep typing and giggling to herself and then just skip away. I wasn't on the sidewalk, kinda tucked by a tree away from the sidewalk today because I felt like i was kinda at my ropes' end. I kept trying to think of something anything to say without the anxiety stealing my voice, but every time I opened my mouth, I felt bile rush up my throat. I'm not confrontational. The attempted planning to be a little confrontational left me shaking for half an hour.

[confessions-of-a-homestuck]

To add onto a previous anon, homestuck fans who ignore problematic elementd of actual ships in homestuck annoy me to no end. I think it is this belief that if homestuck had these ships then it would be "advocating" for them or something. Yes doomed Rose and Dave dated, no they didn't know they were related when they started. Yes 19 year old Meenah was dating a 13 year old vriska, but textually its is not "advocating" for it. Yes Caliborn and Calliope have romantic feelings for eachother, incedt in homestuck tends to tie into this idea of perpetuating cycles and what represents that better then Ouroborous.

And then the epilogues throw is Vrissy dating her (technically) uncle and it is meant to be kinda weird. And of course Dirk and Rosebots whole deal ties directly into the "perpetuating cycles" idea.

Incest and weird relationships are in homestuck and pretending they aren't doesnt help.

B33< Censoring it or pretending it doesn’t exist does the opposite of what certain fans think they are achieving. These fans then pretend that the issue is the other fans who happen to ship it or create content for it. Critically consuming something means understanding that something can exist or happen in fiction without meaning it is being condoned or supported. Critical media literacy means understanding that a harmless ship in fanon, wether it adheres to canon or not (a canon that in itself canonizes these same ‘problematic’ things but I digress) does not dictate what the person condones in real life or doesn’t or what their morality is. Hence why all ships are valid, all head canons are valid. Because you are not affected by someone else’s tastes in fiction, headcanons, or fictional content.

[ask-dbd-wh-au]

When Y/n dies, do they come back to life somehow in order to help Wally? I noticed that Y/n seems to remember hugging Wally and then dying. Is it possible that they just keep coming back because they're needed for something? Or is it just how that universe works until they "reach the end"? (the end being saving Wally) Or is just by sheer force of will that they keep coming back?

I apologize if this question is strange, I love this AU, despite not knowing anything about Dead By Daylight and I'd love to learn more!

*cracks knuckles*

Alrighty, so let me explain a few things ‘cause many questions like these are easily answerable if you know or have played DBD before! It's understandable if you aren't familiar with the game that this au is based on to be confused or lost about these aspects of its world. So! Let me do a rough summary of how the world of Dead by Daylight (the game) works and its lore!

So, the world that our darling Y/N and Wally find themselves in is neither earth nor the neighborhood that Wally comes from, it's a realm entirely created by the Entity. The Entity is an eldritch, world/reality destroying, horror that captures survivors and killers from various universes and realities to play into its twisted games to feed off their emotions, in a sense.

Many consider it like an Emotion Vampire, it feeds on fear, desperation, rage, hope, anger, and other intense emotions.(Which is why it never allows Wally any comfort or happiness, he’s supposed to be a killer invoking terror on the survivors, not the sad lil meow meow he actually is) When a killer or a survivor becomes numb and hollow of all emotions their soul is all consumed by the Entity and it replaces them with a new victim that its captured.

With that in mind, the way the Entity has these games (or also known as trials) is incredibly integral to how the Entity feeds. These hunts and deaths you see Y/N get chased and killed in are all a part of Trials the Entity creates using worlds it has consumed before as the stage.

Each trial has 4 survivors trying to fix 5 generators so they can power up an exit gate to “escape”. This is how the Entity feeds off hope, survivors think they are escaping the nightmare that is the Entity but in actuality they are just brought back to the campfire just to go into yet another trial all over again, an endless cycle. Opposing the survivors are the killers that the Entity has captured and brought to its realm to bring out these intense emotions from survivors, some killers are more willing than others… and some… well, they learn to obey the Entity one way or another.

The killers hunt and murder the survivors and the survivors try their damndest to try and escape and that cycle repeats over and over and over again until they are emotionless husks, the Entity constantly consuming from them the whole way through. In reality, no survivors remember what happens between trials and campfires, the Entity typically wipes clean their memory so they come in like fresh juiceboxes most of the time.

However, Y/N has always had a habit of writing things down to remember small things. Now that they are in the Entitys realm, they utilized their notebooks to help retain their memories through entries of their past experiences, its the only reason why they remember past trials at all.

So TLDR: Y/N keeps coming back from death because the entity is not done feeding off them.

(on another note as well: Y/N doesnt always face Wally, it's random who you get put with each time in a Trial which is why Y/N struggled to find Wally again so much. Just as Y/N doesn’t always face against Wally, Wally doesnt always wind up in trials with Y/N and is left to his struggles with the entity alone)

Also campfires are basically a respawn point all damage you got from Trials will go away and you basically reset and your memories wiped. Y/N's notebook is incredibly essential to helping retain their memories.

I will say I'm not exactly the best at explaining things but things like google and lore videos on youtube can go even more in-depth about the lore of DBD and how the world works!

Hope this helps and thank you greatly for the ask! I love talking about DBD since its a game I love to play and its lore has always been interesting to me!

may I ask for some soda angst headcannons ?

PERFECT timing bc last night i was thinking of something when it came to soda and its just that i think he has a genuine fear of growing up!!!

like genuinely, the PHYSICAL ACT of growing up scares him and it has to do w how he looks!! allow me to explain,,,

now i dont think soda is as insecure w himself as he is when it comes to how he comes off to other ppl. he can handle being a high school drop out, he can handle not being seen as smart (for the most part), what he CANT handle is how ppl react to those aspects of him, so when he has leverage over his perception, aka how attractive he is, u can bet ur bottom dolllaarrrrr that hes holding onto that, and it shows w everything he does!! if him being pretty is what gets ppl to not question him about parts of him seen as below than, hes gonna b the prettiest guy ever. its obvious he has pretty privilege wether he means to use it or not, so what happens when as hes growing older, hes starting to change??? hes not gonna forever b the “teen hearthrob” hes been going as for so long yknow, so how will ppl treat him then???? he doesnt know and that scares him!!! hes preparing himself for worst case scenario

now donnttttt think this is me saying soda automatically thinks that just bc hes getting older that means hes getting uglier, thats NOT the case, like i said, he has confidence with himself!!!! its just how society perceives getting older that trips him up

do i think this is one of those insecurities that consumes his whole being???? no!!! no i do not, soda is a care free man, but that doesnt mean he is alllll the time, at the end of the day hes still a human being w some worries

modern day soda however this would b bigger of an issue, 60s sodapop kinda goes w it, but modern soda is finding out what he can do to make himself look better before he even gets to that age
