Kayn x Graffiti Artist!Reader

16 / 11 / 2023

hi hi~ welcome to the start of my heartsteel x headcanon series "creatively charmed"! sorry, i cant think of a better title atm LOL anyways, this is gonna be a series of the heartsteel band with a lover who's got a creative side to them XD that's all, hope you enjoy! next up will be sett ^-^

Started with another one of days where Kayn decided to go out and wreak havoc by vandalizing everything LOL

When he does he often comes across a lot of grafitti art, this one in particular has a certain style to it

He always lets out a little chuckle when he sees it.

Now, as a fellow artist himself, he is respectful enough to not ruin that person's art, but he does his own grafitti nearby. For him it always includes his HEARTSTEEL icon and if he's feeling good then some song lyrics or a joke

This time, it was shortly after HEARTSTEEL's debut MV released, so when he left to do his usual vandalizing, he wrote "two sides to a story but they never tell my side" with a bunch of doodles. He was particularly proud of this piece, so he was planning to continue working on it the next day

What he didn't expect, however, was for someone to continue the lyrics, with "never been the kinda guy to stay inside the guidelines" written underneath, as well as some art of Kayn's scenes and even a headshot drawing of him from their single's thumbnail

Kayn was surprised and amazed to see it, and broke out into an excited shit-eating grin once he saw the artist's signature that he saw in all their other pieces

"So, looks like I captured this person's heart too. Ever the popular star I am, no?"

And so, he continued the lyrics to his verse, secretly hoping this grafitti artist will continue it again.

Which they did, and gradually, that specific wall gradually filled up with PARANOIA's lyrics from their gradual exchange, even with additional doodles of the other members, Ernest and Rhaast, and some of the funny scenes of the MV

Even mini conversations started with side comments on each others drawings, for example:

"This dog -> true MVP of HEARTSTEEL"

"The dog in the MV? His name's Ernest. (But Kayn is the real MVP)"

"LOL u come up w that name? I can see it tho ngl"

Oh right, this person doesn't know this is THE Kayn Shieda they're talking to

Anyways, this exchange made Kayn excited to come back every time (even his bandmates questioned why he goes out every night looking all excited)

Same with Rhaast actually LOL, but Kayn doesn't let him because he knows how crazy he gets when it comes to vandalizing

"I WANT A TURNNN KAYNNN" "No! I don't need you drawing 100 dicks on the wall again!" "THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A DICKHEAD YOU AREE-"

But alas, all good things must come to an end, after... 2 months, I guess? They had finished writing all the lyrics of the song and the whole wall was full of just HEARTSTEEL PARANOIA. Okay, so that's the end of it then.

Until a paper plane hit the top of Kayn's head. Annoyed, Kayn immediately lifted his head up to the direction it was thrown, yapping angrily at whoever had the fucking audacity to do that

Just as he was about to crumple the plane, he noticed writing on one of its wings, "read me!" Raising a brow curiously, he opened up the paperplane, where it revealed a username with a discord logo drawn next to it, along with your artist signature :)

I love how writing for Kayn gives me the free reign to swear AHAHAHDJSN

(a/n: i read something v similar to this on wattpad as a jungkook story some time ago. i think about it all the time so i decided to rewrite it in my own way. i don’t recall the author or title, but i give complete credit to whoever they are!)

Today was just one of those days. Everything seemed to piss you off and it was completely ruining your demeanor. You had important stuff to do, but your mood was off.

And he absolutely was not helping.

You and Wonwoo had been going out for a little over two years now and recently moved into an apartment together. However, you didn’t think you’d be tired of living with him after only a few short weeks.

Staying over each others’ places was one thing, but Wonwoo was a horrible roommate. You didn’t love him any less, however it was insufferable at times. It seemed to you like he thought he was still living on his own and you were some sort of personal nanny who actually did stuff right.

And today you finally snapped.

It started earlier in the day when the two of you were out grocery shopping. You’d made a list of everything that needed to be bought and ended up doing all the shopping. Wonwoo was too busy mindlessly walking around the store and putting snacks into the cart instead of actually helping you with anything. He stood on his phone during checkout, not bothering to offer you any help. You single-handedly loaded the bags into the car and into the house despite how heavy some of the bags were.

He carried one bag into your apartment after you shot him a glare. But as soon as he stepped though the door, he placed it down and walked into your shared bedroom, not bothering to put away any of the actual groceries.

You let out an annoyed groan before deciding to suck it up and just do it yourself.

After the groceries have been put away you look over at the living room. You see an opened box, remembering you had plans so set up a coffee table in the room.

————————

The loud shooting and sound effects emanating from your room is now really starting to piss you off. And it sure as hell doesn’t help that your boyfriend keeps yelling “THE LEFT THE LEFT GO TO THE LEFT YOU FUCKING IDIOIT” at his teammates.

You’ve already started to set up the table, but he’s being a huge distraction from your work. You huff in annoyance before standing up and walking into your shared bedroom.

It takes him a few moments to notice your presence, but when he does, he slides off his headset and allows it to rest around his neck. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You’re really loud Wonwoo. Can you quiet down or at least close the door? I’m trying to set up the coffee table in the living room and it’s really distracting.” You say, trying to mask your annoyance and be polite.

He stares at you blankly, blinking a few times before mumbling ‘Yeah whatever’ and sliding his headset back on.

You scoff before exiting the room and going back to the living room to finish what you were doing. You open up the coat closet in hopes of finding your toolbox. When you don’t see it, you recall Wonwoo being the last to use it when setting up your other furniture.

“Wonwoo!” You call his name a few times before hearing an annoyed sigh and loud footsteps approaching you.

“What now?” he questions.

You bite down on your tongue, deciding not to react to his rudeness. “Where’s the toolbox? I need it for the table and it’s not in here.”

“It’s in the bedroom closet,” he says as he starts taking steps back toward your bedroom.

You’re quick to follow behind him. “Why would you put it there? That’s now where it belongs.”

“Because Y/n, I used it to set up the desk for my gaming set up and I was tired. Didn’t feel like walking to the front door with the coat closet when there’s a closet right in our bedroom,” he rolls his eyes before seating himself back on his chair.

You stomp over to the closet before rummaging through his clothes and grabbing the toolbox.

“Did something happen?” he asks. “You’re acting like you’ve got a stick up your ass.”

You clench your jaw. “The only reason I’m acting like this is because some prick doesn’t understand what it means to put things where they belong.”

He scoffs. “Since you want to preach about putting things where they belong, why don’t you try putting a tampon in?”

“Fuck you,” you bite back before storming out the room.

You take a few seconds to cool off after his comment before resuming your activity.

________

You’re still not done with the table but now that’s what’s annoying you. There’s one piece that you’ve been struggling to put together. It’s hard to hold up one part in place while twisting the screw into the other side and continuing to build the other structures on top of it.

You contemplate giving up, but remember there’s someone else in the house. “Wonwoo!”

There’s a few seconds of silence and you’re ready to call his name again but he head pops out the door. “What?”

“I need help,” You tell him.

He goes back into your bedroom. You hear him talking to someone, probably telling his teammates that he’s going to do something. He enters the living room, kneeling down to the ground so he’s level with you and the table.

“I need you to hold this still while I put the screw in and build around it,” you inform him.

He says nothing, simply doing as he’s told. Once you get the screw in, you continue building the other parts on top of the structure as Wonwoo holds it steady. However you struggle with one part.

“-Here you’re doing it wrong,” he says in a pissy tone.

“No I’m not, I know what I’m doing. Besides the directions-”

“Y/n I don’t care what the directions say, I’m watching you right now and you’re doing it wrong. Why don’t you hold it steady while I do that?” The annoyance in his voice seems clearer.

“No,” you protest. “I can do it just-”

You press too hard on the structure, causing part of your hard work to collapse.

Wonwoo lets out a dry laugh, “Great, look what you’ve done.”

He stands up brushing off his sweatpants while looking down at you. You quickly spring up to your feet. “What the hell is your problem?”

“What’s my problem? You’ve been acting like a stubborn bitch all day because you’re bleeding out of your fucking vagina!” He exclaims.

“I’m not on my period you asshole! You have just been acting so rude and inconsiderate all day and it’s pissing me off! You haven’t bothered to-”

Before you can finish your sentence, your back is being pushed against the wall and his lips are on your. It’s like muscle memory, so you don’t hesitate to kiss back. The kiss is heated, causing your whole body to warm up. His hand has a tight grip on your jaw as he kisses you sloppily.

You finally process what he’s doing and pull back while leaving a harsh slap on his face. “What the hell are you doing?” You pant.

He doesn’t even react to the fact that you just slapped him across the face, rather he licks his lips, eyeing you up and down. “I think you know exactly what I’m doing.”

“Fuck you,” you spit.

“Go right ahead,” he muses, biting down on his lip.

You’re ready to walk away when you feel him push your back harder against the wall, locking his lips with your again. This kiss is messier, you can tell he’s eager. Of course, you kiss back with the same energy, inviting his tongue to slip into your mouth. He moans into the kiss, which undeniably sends a rush of heat down to your core.

“You’re so fucking annoying,” you manage to say as you pull away from the kiss.

“Yeah?” He breaths against your lips, faces still mere centimeters away from each other. “Then do something about it.”

“I fucking hate you,” you spit.

He smirks. “I hate you more.”

His lips travel to your neck, leaving wet kisses and dark hickies to mark you as his. Once satisfied, he pulls away, running his thumb along your bruised skin with a smirk.

He pulls down the straps of your tank top, leaving you exposed in your strapless bra. He reaches behind you, unhooking it with one hand and discarding it somewhere on the floor.

His left hand travels to your nipple, rolling it between his fingers and pinching. You feel a shiver run through your body at the slight pain. He continues to leave hickies along your breasts, sucking harshly on your sensitive skin. You moan at the contact of his lips sucking on the now hardened bud.

He pulls away, trailing a string of saliva from your nipple to his lips. He looks down at you with a cocky smirk. “Cat got your tongue?”

Your anger still had yet to completely subside. His words caused your blood to heat up. You raise your hand, slapping him across the face again.

“You dickhead,” you snarl.

You suddenly find strength, switching positions with him. You push him to the other side of the wall. “Baby -ngh-” He’s cut off by the feeling of you wrapping your hand around his throat. You squeeze, placing just the right amount of pressure you cause his eyes to roll back.

You slip your hand into his sweatpants, gripping his already half hard cock in your hand. You run your thumb across his leaking slit, smearing his precum on his tip. You feel him moan against your hand at the contact, which only prompts you to squeeze harder on his throat.

He tilts his head back down, now facing you with wide eyes. It’s rare that Wonwoo sees this side of you. Maybe a few times when it was your birthday or some other special occasion where he allowed the roles to be reversed. But it was never to this extent. Whatever the fuck you were doing turned him on like crazy.

You removed your hand from his pants, deciding to grab him through his sweatpants. You watch as a dark wet patch grows on the front of the material. His stiff cock is straining desperately against the material.

You smirk at him, eyes boaring into his cockily. “What is it baby? Cat got your tongue?”

You release your grip on both his throat and his sweatpants, causing him so slightly shiver at the loss of contact. His jaw tightens, eyes darkening with a mix between anger and lust. “Go to the bedroom. Now.”

You roll your eyes at him. “You don’t tell me what to do.”

There’s a few moments of tense silence. He stands there without a sound, glaring darkly at you. He’s pissed.

“Yeah? Sure about that ‘hun?” He teases.

Before you can process anything, your body is being lifted up and thrown over his shoulder effortlessly. It’s sort of embarrassing how easily he was able to gain control back over you.

He handles you roughly, not showing any sort of care or concern how comfortable your body is resting over his shoulder. You squirm around on his shoulder, earning a harsh slap on the ass that catches you completely by surprise. “Cut that out you bitch.”

There’s a long tingling after his hand makes contact with your ass considering how hard he slapped you. When you two enter the bedroom he kicks to door closed with his foot and throws you down on the bed with a loud thud.

Without a word, he strips you of all your remaining clothing, leaving you completely nude and vulnerable to him. “Last time I checked, I always tell you what to do, and you always listen.”

You weren’t going to give in so easily. “Last time I checked you were a selfish asshole and I don’t have to take orders from you.”

“Tsk,” he disapproves. “You might want to take that back.”

You cock an eyebrow. “Never, you prick.”

“Hmm,” he muses. “That’s too bad, because this prick is gonna fuck you stupid until you do.”

Without warning, he shoves two fingers in your mouth and down your throat. You gag at the sudden contact but he looks down at you amused. “You and this mouth of yours. Keep running it and you’re really gonna get in trouble.”

He retrieves his fingers, causing you to cough and gasp for air. Once you do compose yourself, you still don’t submit to him. “Good luck trying, it’s not gonna happen.”

He begins removing his clothes as well, starting with his shirt until he’s fully nude. “Yeah… we’ll see about that.”

“See about what?” you taunt. “You won’t do shit to me, you’re a little bitch.”

He grits his teeth, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. “Come here you fucking bitch.”

He grabs your wrists, dragging you to the edge of the bed and down onto the floor so you’re kneeling in front of him. He holds your wrists together tightly, making it impossible to free yourself.

He then grabs your hair, forcing you to tilt your head back. “C’mon open up that mouth since you love to run it so much.”

You shake your head defiantly.

This causes Wonwoo to release his harsh grip on your wrists and tighten the one on your head. He grins his cock with his free hand, rubbing his tip along your lips. Your lips open up just enough to allow him to push his tip past your lips. Any default, the rest of your mouth opens up, happily taking him down your throat.

He lets out a deep moan as he pushes all the way down your throat. Tears are already welling in your eyes as his cock hits the very back of your throat. The various sounds and pinging from the game catch his attention.

“Shut the fuck up.” He snarls.

He lets out a few deep moans as he fucks your throat at a slow pace. He pulls out, giving you a short amount of time to cough and gasp for air. However it doesn’t take long before his length is back down your throat, saliva coating his shaft.

“Fuuuuuuuck,” he moans as he pushes himself all the way in.

This time his pace his faster, roughly fucking your face as he grips your hair. Your hands find his thighs as something to hold onto for stability but two rough slaps come down onto your hands.

“Don’t f-fucking touch me,” he moans out as he slides himself between your cheeks.

Your hands fall to your side as you continue to gag around his throat. He deprives you of sufficient oxygen more when he pushes your head into his pelvis and holds it there. Your nose comes into contact with the bone with every harsh thrust toward the back of your throat. His moaning increases in volume and frequency as he enjoys himself. You continuously gag around his length, more hot tears streaming down your face and saliva dripping from your mouth and his cock.

He finally pulls out with a satisfied smirk as you cough and attempt to breathe. “Looked so pretty with my cock in your mouth baby, should’ve taken a picture.”

After regaining your steady breathing, you look up at him with a glare. “You’re mad? It’s what you get for talking so much earlier.”

“Asshole,” you mumble.

“Good idea,” he smirks.

He lifts your body back up onto the bed easily. “Turn around since you wanna keep talking.”

You start to move your body to face the headboard, but he speeds up the process by pushing your body in the direction he desires. The game makes another noise, causing him to use you as a direct outlet for his anger. He leaves another harsh slap on your ass that causes you to arch your back.

“Perfect,” he whispers at the sight of you arching before suddenly pushing his entire length into you. You have no time to prepare before he suddenly penetrates you, causing you to yelp.

He pushes his hips into you from behind at an intense speed, filling up every inch of your walls. The intensity leaves you desperate for stability as you struggle to adjust to his pace and size. You reach forward toward the headboard, only to receive another slap on your ass.

“Tsk,” he frowns. “No running away.”

His hands find your hips, tilting them so he can fuck himself into you at a better angle. Each thrust leaves you more breathless and overwhelmed than the other as you feel him deep inside of you.

“You gonna be a good girl and listen to me now?” he asks with a groan.

“N-No” you manage to stutter out.

He tsks again. “Wrong answer baby.”

He slows down his pace, giving you time to reconsider. He rubs his finger along your clit, gathering some of your slick. He reached back behind you, pushing his finger into your asshole. “How about now sweetheart?”

“No,” you moan out.

“So stubborn,” he mumbles before grabbing both your wrists with a tight grip. He holds them behind your back and forces you to sit up straight on your knees with your back arched. He picks up his pace again, his lips closer to your ear so you can hear his soft pants and moans.

This angle allowed him to fuck himself deeper inside of you, reaching your stomach while his finger infiltrated your asshole. You cried out, lewd pornographic moans and the overwhelming pleasure that coursed through your body.

You could feel the pressure of your orgasm quickly building up. He could too, based off the way you were tightening around his length and losing control over your body.

“Fuck,” he moans. “You wanna be my good girl now?”

You tried to find the words, losing all coherency as he fucked you stupid. Your brain was jumbled and you were having a hard time processing information with your orgasm approaching so quickly. However he couldn’t care less how raspy your voice sounded as your throat grew sore or the fact that you could barely articulate a thought. He was dead set on making you completely submit to him.

“Huh baby?”

The most you could do was give out a few rushed and pathetic nods as you met your orgasm. As the intense wave of pleasure washed over you, you felt hot tears stream down your face as your body convulsed, legs shaking and mere seconds away from giving out. You feel him curl his finger inside your asshole, only intensifying everything you were already feeling.

“Good girl,” he moans into your head. “Such a good, good girl.”

He soon approaches his orgasm too, relieved to let go over everything he’d been holding back for the sake of his ego. He let out a string of curses and a deep groan as he released himself inside of you, spurts of white cum painting your inner walls.

He releases his grip on your wrists, allowing your body to fall forward into the mattress as it completely gave out. You were completely and utterly fucked out. Wonwoo started down at you as he attempted to catch his breath, breathing heavily and running his fingers through his wet hair.

The sudden flow of chiming from the game stole his attention.

holy shit dude

damn y’all really don’t play

that was hot ngl

she still breathing ?? lmao

Wonwoo lets out a dry laugh before walking over to the game he forgot to mute himself on. “You guys are seriously perverts, fuck off.”

He shuts down the game before shifting his attention back to you. You slowly turn over onto your back, facing him. You’re still breathing heavily, messy hair covering your face and sticking to your forehead.

“Was that too much?” he asks.

You shake your head. “No.”

You let out a cough, which prompts him to retrieve a cold glass of water from the kitchen. You gulp it down in seconds and he watches you. Cute.

“Wonu,” you finally say.

“Hmm?” he hums, laying on the bed next to you and brushing your hair out of your face.

“I love you, but can you just help out a bit more around here. This is our place now, just wanna do stuff together.? You know… grocery shopping, furniture, cooking…”

He nods before placing a kiss on your forehead. “ ‘M sorry, I’ll do better okay?”

You nod softly before nuzzling into his chest, closing your eyes softly and drifting off to sleep in his arms.

[wannaeatramyeon]

You hit the nail on the head! I‘ll ask for more professional assessment: honest opinion on Crystal?

Following on from my ramblings about Sally Park. Oops! Edited to add in Zoe too.

Well written female characters in Lookism? Uhh...

When the bar is at an all time low, it's really not hard to step over it.

At this point, I've been pavloved to think that any female character that expresses a personality trait other than 'simp' is pretty good. Simp is fun when it's part of a list of characteristics (Zack, Ryuhei). Not so much when it's the only thing.

Long live PTJ, the greatest feminist. Anyway.

Female characters I like

Mary Kim

Love her. Empress of 2 seconds. Queen of my heart.

Surprisingly kept a platonic relationship with Vin Jin, showing quite a healthy mixed gender friendship. Sassy and smart. Loyal. Good taste in men (Jace). Is shown having a life and interests outside of a man.

On my hands and knees praying that PTJ doesn't ruin her. Kinda glad she hasn't appeared in a while so she is kept away from his incessant need to turn everyone into a love interest.

Lua Im

Once we got over the odd Johan panels, which I heard the Korean audience didn't like and I'm quite happy about, she's fine. And it's not that I care that much about Johan staying a single dog-dad, I just needed a coherent reasoning/build up why they would be interested in one another.

Lua has potential.

Sourcing intel, even impressing the likes of Gun? A little Muay Thai knowledge? Jake and Jerry scared of her? Lol. Ok. Good. Let's build on this.

Just please don't white knight her.

Crystal Choi (meh)

And Ms. Choi, because anon specifically asked. I really don't mind her? I know she's meant to be anti-Lookism but still judges people based on their looks eh. That's fine. Pretty realistic actually. Whatever.

She can be a bit bitchy for no reason. So can I. Handwaving all that.

What I do take issue with though, is her so called title of Business Genius. Please show me the chapter where she actually does something to earn that title besides the one where other people ooh-ed and aah-ed over her in the meeting with DG.

Wow she's sooooo gorgeous. Ok good for her. If that's the route they're taking her character then at least OWN. THAT. SHIT. Use her beauty and looks to sign deals and get what she wants. GOOD. DO IT.

Zoe Park (also meh... Wait)

Sorry anon, I think 'really well written' is a bit of a reach... She does have some decent character development, starting as quite a flighty, shallow girl and then showing that she has a heart of gold, liking both Daniels and. Huh.

Wait. You're right. She is pretty well written. She's selfless and kind and loyal to her friends, putting up with Logan's bullshit. There's enough of a character arc for her from the Zoe we're introduced to at first.

And I do like that she's good at maths too.

Wasted potential

Minseong Kang (Jake's momma)

Appreciate this is the older generation and from a much more conservative culture. Saying that, I am so over the slighted and bitter housewife rotting at home while her big powerful husband cheats on her.

And then some sort of marriage redemption cos they pop out a kid. Whatever. (Sorry Jake bb, I love you).

If you were going to do that, give me the most toxic red flag shit where they are constantly at each other's THROATS. Show me how they are equals. Can't live with or without one another. That's the good kinda shit.

Leonn Lee

I just. What the fuck was this.

A girl in Burn Knuckles? A group that reeks of testerone and (positive) masculinity? Show us why she joined! Show us why she stays. SURPRISE. Main character trait?? Having a crush on Vasco.

She could have been SO interesting. And she obviously trains, why not get her to fight?

Hate for irrational reasons

Joy Hong

Listen, she's not really in enough or significant enough for me to really feel one way or another about her. BUT. The reason I HATE her is because I was trying to write a headcanon involving everyone and then I got to Joy and I was STUMPED.

Sub in a plank of wood, and it would have the same depth of personality.

Truly. Who is she apart from Jay's sister and a Daniel simp? At least everyone else has something.

Others

I don't really think about them. Sera Shin has potential I guess.

And of course a special mention to Daniel's momma. She's not exactly a unique character, but who doesn't love her?

LET. THEM. FIGHT.

Lastly. Why can't we see women fight? Like the men's fights are realistic LOL. Ultra instinct? Smashing through walls? So why are women fighting men outside the realms of this.

And yes yes. Men are SoOoOoOo strong. But can they take a kick to the balls?

Are you saying Gun Park has been training his dick and balls and would be able to eat a hit there? He wouldn't go down like a heap of shit??

HUH. TELL ME THAT.

In Summary

Mary by and large is pretty well written. Lua has improved.

I don't care much about anyone else.

And I wanna see Gun, Goo, Sammy, Vin etc. get kicked in the balls in a fight.

Babylon 5 S03E20 And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place previous episode - table of contents

It's kinda wild how much b5 is exactly to my tastes. Take this (and many other!) episode titles for example. Pretentious? Maybe. Poetic? Certainly. Full of allusion? Definitely. Makes me get shivers? Absolutely.  They even give me things to complain about. I'm well settled into complaining loudly about Londo bullshit.

Last episode's beverage (for data point purposes) was straight tequila with pepsi chaser. The hangover was vile and I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep for three hours. Today's beverage - Bitterroot Brewing Co "Dirt Church" ipa. It's alright for an IPA.

"Z MINUS 14 DAYS"

I see we've moved several letters on from "t."

Yeah!! It's another Susan Ivanova personal log episode. The telepaths they've recruited are being dispersed. Sheridan is tired, and Franklin is still pacing the halls. 

All the telepaths are being accompanied by a single Narn bodyguard. Fingers crossed for some of those bodyguards to start developing some telepathy of their own after spending a long time in close quarters with a telepath!!

Londo thinks it's time to "take care of" G'Kar?? FUCK OFF.  He wants G'Kar tricked back to Narn and executed. Thanks to the previous flashbacks, I am well aware that this plot won't play out with G'Kar's actual death. But I still want to strangle Londo. Can I isekai into B5 just long enough to goddamn murder that man?? 

Religious Theo of the religious group whatevever is being highlighted this episode. In theory I appreciate how diverse B5 is, religiously speaking. In practice....ehhh. At least when it comes to people quoting the KJV and referring to "the lord" every other sentence. 

Sheridan does look rough. And there's Delenn!!! Pretty in pink. 

"[Ivanova] said you were carrying on cranky. I looked up cranky, it said grouchy. I looked up grouchy, it said crochetly. No wonder you have such an eccentric culture. None of your words have their own meaning!" 

LOL!! Delenn is so cute. Also, very seriously, I apologize to every person who needs to learn English as an adult. It's a mess. 

Once I saw a gif of Delenn propping herself up on a elbow in bed with Sheridan and I have been FERAL to see that scene ever since. Maybe today will be the episode? Delenn climbs in bed with Sheridan to make him sleep??

Na'Toth might be alive. Or her name might simply be a trap for G'Kar. I don't think Londo's plan is going to work out. If he didn't go back to Narn for literally every other Narnuan, I'm not sure he'd go back for his aide who is probably dead. Also I 100% have more faith in Vir than this. Idk where he got them, but he has a surprisingly well-developed set of morals and empathy. 

Vir: "I won't. I won't go. I won't do it."

VIR BABY. Just say you'll do it, then go and collude and G'Kar. Londo is unhinged, threatening to have Vir's family stripped naked and whipped through the streets of Centaur's capital. What a fuck. He ought to be directing his energies towards getting back Lord Whatshisface who killed Adira on behalf of the Shadows. Refa. The show reminds me in a timely manner. 

Speaking of Refa, he's giving very desperate vibes. Trying too hard to suck up, and that puts blood in the water for the sharks to scent!!

Well. Hopefully even if Vir gives into Londo's threat and tries to trick G'Kar, his obvious nerves give away that something's wrong. 

Back to Londo and the Centauri court shenanigans. Londo is, undeniably, good at putting on the type of political front that works well on Centaur. 

Susan's blowout is so good every day I have to assume it's part of the high-tech auto-dryer when you step out of the shower...or something. Because there's no way that SUSAN IVANOVA is spending twenty minutes every day achieving the most ideal blowout that has ever been hair-dried into existence. 

OK I like the religious cabal a bit better now that I know they're smuggling up-to-date information about Earth politics into Bably 5. 

GODDANG IT. G'Kar is trying to sneak back onto Narn. Well. At least I know he lives to die another day. 

Vir, I am disappointed in. 

Centaur attack on Vir!! He lives to become Emperor another day as well. Stakes drop considerably when you know certain characters' ultimate fates. 

You know who I'd love to see again? AUNT PROPHETESS! Majel!! 

Lord Refa's eyebrows deserve their own acting credit. 

oooh, Centauri telepathy attack!! 

Poor Vir. If only he had been able to keep his position on Minbar. He looked less stressed-out when he was spending most of his time surrounded by a tranquil environment. 

The Baptist pastor is hanging out with Sheridan, who is struggling to relax enough to fall asleep while also doing paperwork. Maybe. don't do paperwork while getting ready for bed. Which the pastor is also bringing up, more delicately than I would. 

the Pastor: DELEGATE IDIOT.

OK he can stay. He is speaking common sense. 

"When youre worry tank gets full people stop coming to you, because they don't want to add to it." 

Smart. "figure out how to relax or your people will stop reading you in in an attempt to protect you." 

"Z MINUS 13 DAYS"

Zha'ha'dum minus 13 days?? 

G'Kar made it to Narn. There's climate change from the orbital bombardment. Constant wind, particulate coming down from the upper atmosphere, poor air quality. And I doubt they had recovered from the previous Centauri occupation, and possibly not even the Shadows' occupation before that! 

Emperor Cartagia is going to be traveling to B5: that seems like a significant security risk! Maybe he'll get nerfed and we'll see the glorious ascension on Emperor Londo. 

Refa's plot is to capture G'Kar instead of letting Londo do it. Fingers crossed for neither of them getting that glory. 

Delenn says there's no pattern to the Shadows' attacks. The lack of pattern is probably the point - all over the place and unpredictable so the united forces are spread as thin and widely as possible. And the tactical data sorta supports that! They haven't attacked anything in the center of the sector, so refugees are going there. And Sheridan is picking this up now, too. They could nail all the refugees at once. 

"I think this is as much about terror as it is about territory." 

Yeah. 

Hm, Delenn is horrified by Sheridan saying he needs to think like them to beat them. Unless she has a really compelling argument against it, I'm going to have to disagree. How can you counter a tactic unless you understand it? 

Londo just knocked out a Centauri guard with a punch to rescue Vir. He gets no points from me, because he put Vir in that position. 

Unfortunately G'Kar won't get to kill Londo for quite a few years, but maybe he and the resistance will get to kill Refa and his goon squad instead. 

Damn it, Londo was two steps ahead of Refa this whole time. f.ucking annoying. Well. all Centauri warmongering genocidal politics are annoying. Refa being personally in charge of the bombardment of Narn is backfiring on his right now. 

Oh so this means that Vir was an unwitting stooge in the plot all along, and that's extra scummy, considering it resulted in Vir being mindraped and made to believe he'd just given up his mentor and employer. Very very cutthroat politics. No wonder Londo didn't name the embarassment he was planning to remove on behalf of the emperor to prove House Mollari's value. 

Baptist Pastor brought a gospel singer along with him, lol. That's very on brand. And super fucking amusing juxtaposition between her music and Refa being pursued and killed. "There's no hiding place down here." Refa being beaten to death. 

Buuuut as much as I dislike Londo, I am a fan of the person responsible for untold suffering and death getting a tiny fraction of that delivered back to them. So...annoyingly... *sigh* go Londo...

It's so fucking funny that Londo had the ability to slip refa the other half of the two-part poison all along but instead he had him beaten to death for political purposes. 

Vir is angry, but probably not enough to make him break from Londo entirely. 

Delenn has a surprise for Sheridan - "the White Star was never intended to be one of a kind, only the first..." and now there's a whole fleet. 

Hm. As far as first kisses on screen go, that one was pretty dated. I'm happy for them, but the "smear your face against the other person's face" is a style I'm glad has mostly gone away. It doesn't look very pleasant, hahah. 

Mrs Sheridan, I presume?

[uglypastels]

Ok ok gotta quickly talk about my fav bits from these 2 episodes

SPOILERS

LOOK, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A HALFBLOOOOOD

Percy and Grover giving each other the ham/cheese from their sandwiches

The mrs Dodds gaslighting. Idk why i needed this to be included (more on this later)

Gabe. Why was Gabe so fucking funny in this 😭😭 like man is just a loser.

"Do you know why we come to this cabin every year" "because its next to the septic tanks' so its cheap" stop he's so unserious 😭

"Please" and the entirety of Sally talking to Gabe

I'm sure it will all get so much worse, but just the quips that were written and the pacing through the conversation of all 3 of them was really well written

Percy thinking that Sally was an atheist until she saw Jesus in her living room. (To paraphrase it)

"The important thing is not to panic" while being on the verge of a breakdown

"YOU DIDNT TELL HIM ABOUT X"

Sally making Grover swear to protect perce😭😭

YOU DROOL IN YOUR SLEEP

Basically, any time there was book accurate dialogue. It healed parts of me that I didn't even know were broken.

Mr D. I'm obsessed. The whole interaction between him and Percy. And then Mr D and Chiron 💖💖💖 (the poker later on. I love it)

The cabins and entire vibe of the camp. It feels so real i wanna go there so bad.

I could basically just list every single scene of this episode.

Luke 💖 that's it.

Mr D and Chiron forbidding Grover to tell Percy about his mom. So we got the Gaslight, now we jave Gatekeep. Where's the girlboss? Literally every other second.

Annabeth!! Annabeth's hat!! The hattttttt

"I'm fine thanks, but i appreciate you, you know, standing there silently" he's so fucking funny and it makes me want to scream. It's no original experience to have loved these books since the age of 12, but it doesnt make it any less personal. I love percy ok. And anyway not annabeth then still just standing there like 😐🤨

"When it's time, he'll be ready. I know it".... bro 😭😭

Clarisse's feral behaviour. I love her (i'll be dropping the L-bomb more and more as the show will go on. Let me be)

The bathroom scene. Obviously (i didnt even mention the episode titles yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

🔥? "I wouldn't"

Aaand cut to percy nearly setting the heph cabin on fire

"Is there a god of disppointment" "oizyz, but sje's a goddess, and her thing isnt really disappointment. It's more like failure" pls who is this kid. Fav character lol (idk maybe i should know who he is and im just stupid)

And then the look Luke gives him i'm crying

Oh my god how did not mention the blue food yet 😭😭😭😭🩵🩵🩵🩵

Percy PRAYING to Sally. And then "i'm Sally Jackson's son" aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Also, idk why but i loved Clarisse's reaction to when her spear broke. It felt so raw and it showed a glimpse of the side of her that she's clearly hiding from the world (not me already getting hyped for sea of monsters lmao)

Theres probably so much more i could add, or perhaps i should have just dropped a link to the episodes as it was all just so perfect.

Ohh oh oh i almost forgot the camp beads!!! Eeeek. So cute.

(Would have loved to have seen the grannies knitting socks of death, and the strawberry fields 🫢 but minor details)

[hikennosabo]

trimax vol 14 random thoughts (ch 5-8)

okay enough stalling... let's get this done... HOO BOY

chapter 5:

i love how vash is drawn in these panels... and vash waking up from hearing meryl's words... WAAHHHHH...

GET UP COWARD (<- lyric from my chemical romance's 2022 single 'the foundations of decay' which i may or may not be considering for a vash playlist)

oh, i LOVE this image of knives covering his face...

hmhmhm... the way knives addresses the other plants is... gentle, almost?

"sorrow and grief," huh... over the humans trying to communicate with them? those are the kinds of emotions this scenario is bringing out? there is something there but... i don't quite know what it is...

uwahhh... i do love this image...

"we were united in hatred" -> "i feel a murmur of fear"... hmmm. sounds like knives himself, who buried his fear underneath hatred... am i connecting any dots???

but fear in communicating with humans... fear because communication is scary in general? fear because of the abuse humans have put plants through? fear of uncertainty of what this communication will result in?

the tiniest merylmilly u can imagine...

they ask if it's safe, but it's not like vash cares if it's safe, he's been prepared to die for several volumes now, so... he's probably thinking "if i die i die," lol. (<- in pain)

this is a cute expression...

"don't touch me," he says...

knives trying to incorporate himself with the fused plants - now it's HIS turn to go "if i die i die" i guess LJSDKLFDS... both him and vash risking it all for their ideals. they really are brothers...

vash's "grant me that ticket"... it doesn't directly address god, but it feels like a prayer nonetheless.

chapter 6:

wah... meryl's strength gives vash strength... wahhh... is this the first time they've... well, "talked about it" isn't the right phrase, but is this the first time vash understands what meryl was going through that time when she flinched away from him?

"what matters is that you communicate. that you understand the person next to you is breathing and existing." ugh, fuck, i can feel myself getting weepy again.

the people getting good AND bad memories from the plants.. good! good! they said a few volumes ago that most(?) of the population has gathered in this city, so this really is everyone?! individual normal people couldn't do much about plant abuse, but now that EVERYONE understands, things can change! they can acknowledge what's happened, and they can change, and move forward!!

and vash being the bridge, the point of commonality between humans and plants... uaaghgh it's so interesting because for a long time vash's reputation among the humans was one of destruction. but in this moment everyone understands who he really is and what he wants. ueueeueueue....

also. this pattern of receiving traumatic memories via feathers, and to come out the other side not with fear and hatred but with increased compassion and understanding... sounds like what happened between vash and meryl, doesn't it?

"i've never made a promise like this before, but today i'd like to try" UAAGHGHHG.G U AHGHGHGHG.

haha. hey. why does it look like he's been crying. i'm going to throw up.

i don't know if the rest of this post will be comprehensible.

chapter 7:

what do i even say here.

hey remember the chapter title "king of loneliness." i'm gonna go eat rocks now.

even now, he's stubbornly clinging to his ideals, thinking he's in too deep, that he's gone too far to turn back...

oh, this is getting to me, the way it's worded. "caught up in something too big" and the panel of them as kids. they were just kids when this all started. this was too big for them. knives was a kid, a traumatized, scared kid who made a very bad, very destructive decision, and he has lived his life up until this point digging his heels in, growing more and more twisted, more controlling and violent, trying to justify his own actions to himself because how do you carry something like that.

"kill me, vash, there's nowhere else for me to go." literally two chapters ago vash said "where am i going? what's there left to see?" i'm fucking eating rocks.

"even though we were apart for so long, we were still brothers. but i was the one who broke away..." knives looks so pained when he thinks this. now, after all this, he's finally feeling regret, or letting himself feel regret. in the last possible moment.

...or so he thinks. vash has a clear shot, the opportunity to kill knives, and knives wants vash to kill him, he expects it - but vash protects him instead. with his last bullet. despite knives's blade going through his torso. despite everything. despite EVERYTHING!!!!! vash has EVERY REASON to hate knives, to KILL knives, and he STILL chooses not to!!!! i'm not okay i'm crying again

in 98, rem tells vash "take care of knives"... this is pretty much the same thing... i don't want to say this is necessarily another thing nightow took from 98 because of course this is what she said, what else would she have said at that time?

the beginning of the chapter had vash struggling to remember what rem said, but the preceding pages imply it's knives remembering her words... or maybe they both are...

this is fucking getting to me, fuck, i'm crying again!!! fuck!!!!

also, oh, chronica IS still alive... honestly i was (and still am) so caught up in the twins that that information just immediately left my brain the first time around LMAO...

i am so. fucking. unwell. about knives's expressions in this scene. he's feeling so many things at once. i just... the fact that vash protects knives and picks him up to haul him away... he ISN'T leaving knives on his own, even in the end, even after everything that's happened... and knives is just. what IS he feeling? shock, disbelief, regret... love, can i say love?? love for his brother?? the love between them that never went away, despite everything?? i am gonna fucking throw up

i don't know where to put this in the post because it occurred to me while i was proofreading, but knives stabbed vash, felt shock and regret, and then acted to save him... which sounds awfully similar to what happened between rem and vash, huh?

this, with knives's hair turning black... new hair, new outlook, right?

will you drive me back, can you take me home... (<- lyrics from gerard way's 'brother' from his 2014 solo album 'hesitant alien')

oh, the fact that they sprouted wings like this in the stampede s1 finale is gonna make it hit SOOOO MUCH HARDER once THIS scene gets adapted. this is such a beautiful spread, a beautiful moment... i'm gonna cry again...

LIVIO!!!! TO THE RESCUE!!!! also... that's not a double fang, whose gun is that?

WOLFWOOD!!!!! WWWAHHHHGHGHGHH!!!!! the "turn around and he's gone" scene is SUCH a cliche but FUCK!!!!!! IT'S GETTING TO ME!!!!!!

chapter 8:

i feel so normal i feel so normal (affirmations) (lying)

i can't. i can't type. i'm crying too much. this is love. it's just love.

his last act, knowing that it will kill him, is an act of love. love for his brother. so vash can eat. so the doctor and his kid can eat. and as time goes on it'll grow bigger and be able to feed more people. food as a love language. i'm crying and sobbing.

knives understands he has no place in this world, especially after everything he's done, and the world needs vash more than him... that vash can't live in the world as long as they're together... he doesn't even tell vash himself that he intended to disappear... it's his choice, he walks his path with pride... but i'd like to believe they were able to spend some time together before this. just being brothers. TALKING. eating together. sleeping next to each other. hugging?? apologizing?? knives finally being a good brother after so long and taking care of vash?? making up for lost time. i'd like to imagine it. let me imagine it.

i've been thinking this for a while but i actually do think that vash would forgive knives if knives expressed regret and asked for forgiveness. because vash is jesus and all, and that's how sin and forgiveness work in christianity, if you believe and repent you will be forgiven, etc... i don't know if vash would forgive knives right away - he is very, very human after all - but i definitely think he could. and maybe he did. maybe they had that talk.

phew. okay, i'm finished crying now, and BOY was it a big cry. not any easier the second time around. anyway.

does he really need a wig? if he doesn't spike up his hair, that would be effective by itself, since it's one of his identifiers according to the earth forces...

DOES THIS CONFIRM THAT VASH CAN'T GROW A BEARD WITHOUT EFFORT? like since his plant powers are completely drained he can no longer grow a beard???

AHHHH... VASH'S BIG SMILE!!!!! and everyone's wearing their old clothes, and with a bunch of guys comically chasing vash around, yeah, this is really all for callback's sake... we've come so far, and full circle.

meryl's lecture to him is so typically meryl LOL... he DID NOT keep his promise LMAO

the fucking jojo sound effects are cracking me up HDSFKSFJDFS

also everyone who complained about stampede """changing""" meryl into a reporter owes me $100 right fucking now. that was a complaint i saw SO MUCH. i thought it was a bit strange myself, but i figured orange had a reason, and now i know. those complainers know NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!!!

meryl frantically reading from her script and milly's big smile... cute... also WHAT DO YOU MEAN WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS LMAO?? are they planning on stripping him?? vash the stampede nip slip???

AAHHHHH LIVIO GREW HIS HAIR OUT AGAIN!!!!! and he's at wolfwood's grave... oh fuck i said i was done crying GODDAMMIT!!!!

okay. okay i'm done for real now. man. man. what do i say. what can i say.

"the same song of humanity still sang." and what a beautiful song it is.

i don't really know how to conclude this post... just. wow. what a journey this was. i don't think i've ever cried this much over a manga, lol... i... had a really good time!

[silver-horse]

@vspin how do you feel about bg3 winning best multiplayer? 🤣😅

I mean... compared to other multiplayers I guess, sure. I am playing it after all when normally I would never pick up multiplayer. But I think that speaks more about how this game is just generally very good so I want to experience every aspect of it.

Essentially bg3 wins by virtue of not having a traditional multiplayer experience. It's a single player story with a friend (and you kinda can't/shouldn't play it with more than 1 friend because there are only 4 characters we can use so we would miss out on even more companion stuff) But people hate games which are first and foremost multiplayer so this won. LMAO That's my thinking... if I'm honest that's why I also voted for bg3. lol Fuck multiplayer... this is single player in the multiplayer category. Yeah I'll vote for that.

But it surprises me it won. I don't know about the other nominees but considering all the bugs we are experiencing and how the game can't decide how companions should behave with two Tavs around the "best" title is still a bit funny to me. There is LOTS of room for improvement.

To those who haven't tried bg3 multiplayer... read below what it's like.

Certain conversations with companions repeat for both of us but only the first person gains approval. You would think what can and can't repeat and when characters refuse to talk to the other player character is based on story logic. But nope. I saved Shadowheart in the prologue but she was still willing to say her thanks to @vspin instead and give approval to her. So the game acts like our 2 characters are the same. (btw paladins can also lose their oaths because of what the other player character did) As if an action taken by 1 character was taken by both. But at the same time both characters still don't get approval. But then I had the bite scene with Astarion and later he was only willing to discuss that with my character. They have "do you mind? I am not here for chit chat" and other generic lines when you click on them and they are not willing to have a conversation with you, only the other person. At times only 1 player has high enough approval with a companion to trigger a scene but if the other person clicks on them, the scene will still play for that person. Other times it won't play. It's just all a big chaos.

Something I need to get off my chest, for old followers and new:

I do not give a single solitary fuck about communism

If communism blew up and died tomorrow, I would not give one shit about it 🥱

If “communism” is your end all be all about what’s right and what’s wrong in the world, then do us both a favor and block me right now. No hard feelings, okay?

And for anyone wondering: no, I don’t give a shit about capitalism, and definitely not neoliberalism either

Look, sooner or later you have GOT to understand something: some people (neoliberals) get all bent out shape if you aren’t constantly falling over yourself to kiss the ass of whoever the current Democratic president is. That ain’t me. When Biden or Clinton or whoever is wrong, I will hold their feet to the fire and at least try to them accountable (see: Biden Title 42)

And when capitalism fucks up (lol, that’s any day of the week that ends in the letter Y), then I will call that shit out too

Sooner or later, ALL of that shit fucks up. All of it. All of it

None of it is beyond critique

If you think your special little rhubarb (communism, capitalism, religion, libertarianism, etc etc etc) is magically the only one that is perfect and good and right all the time, then you’re just like a little baby who still believes that Santa lives on the North Pole. Please grow tf up

But I am very specifically calling out communism today because several long time mutuals lose their shit whenever I don’t kiss Putin’s ass, or when I don’t blame NATO for Putin invading a sovereign nation that wasn’t attacking Russia, wasn’t in NATO, and wasn’t even applying for membership into NATO when Putin decided to attack them

Is America wrong for all the dirt its done all around the planet? Fuck. yes. Does America bad = Russia good? FUCK NO

Look, everyone has their own personal coda; their guiding principles; their “religion,” their rhubarb. For some, it’s a blind, sycophantic inability to understand or acknowledge that simply being marginally better than Trump doesn’t automatically make centrist Democrats above being held accountable (it’s our job as citizens to always demand better from whoever our elected representatives are—they work for us goddammit)

For other sycophants, it’s a rabid inability to call out capitalism and/or Christianity

And for others still, it’s communism

I guess my problem is, EYE don’t measure how “good” something is by how “communist” it is—I measure it by how much good it does without burying poor people, without harming Black & Brown people, without hurting women (trans or otherwise), without vilifying foreigners, and without burning LGBTQ people (the way Russia and America do)

If you can’t understand that, then your particular brand of blind fanaticism (your rhubarb) is communism, and you are no different from the VBNMW, Blue MAGA sycophants who go completely ape shit whenever you say something even slightly unflattering about politicians who happen to wear the letter “D” behind their name—see where that got us??

You’re no different. You just have a slightly different rhubarb

Communism is NOT my fucking measuring stick. I don’t have communism on the brain, and I sure as fuck don’t have capitalism on the brain either

I love Black people, Brown people , poor people, immigrants, asylum seekers, women, the LGBTQ community, democracy, equality, justice and freedom

And dassit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m on the side of the little guy and the underdog

So anyway, fuck communism, fuck capitalism, fuck “Christianity” and fuck all the other little bullshit unimportant distinctions you far too rigidly use to decide if someone is “good” instead of just looking to see if they’re actually doing good or not

Some of you good little “communists” couldn’t even be bothered to speak up about Brittney Griner because you didn’t want to look bad or say anything bad about Vladimir Putin’s raggedy ass. Lol. You guys suck!

And no, this isn’t me taking a right wing turn like Cenk and TYT (or like Jimmy Dore, or Glenn Greenwald, or any number of the other “previously” progressive media types who are re-aligning themselves with conservatives)

In 2016 I had to break ties with people and bloggers who turned out to be dogged Blue MAGA sycophants, and today I’m fed up with people who can’t go more than two minutes without signaling how “communist” they are 🙄

Sorry, but that shit don’t get my dick hard

(And for added clarity: Republicans and Libertarians, go fuck yourselves with a rusty chainsaw)

If this post makes you mad, then here ya go

</end rant>

[icanseethefuture333]

I love your kpop readings, please do also Stray kids bangchan and Felix friendship dynamic 💗

Aussie duo yeah mate 🇦🇺

What does Bang Chan think of Felix?:

The Sun, Judgement, & Five of Swords

For what Chris thinks is that he feels that Felix is someone who has been a very bright and healing energy in his life. I'm hearing the lyrics "When you walked through the door" which is Beautiful by One Direction. I feel that the moment he saw Felix he saw potential in him and thought he would be a great addition to the group. "He has a great smile!" Chan finds his optimism and sunny disposition infectious. He knows that people's opinions gets to Felix sometimes and he wished he found a better way of dealing with that. The negativity gets to him sometimes. I think Felix deals with insecurities more than we possibly realize. Felix is really sensitive to the mean things people say about him (🔫 leave that poor man alone). Chan tries to be of comfort to him and gives him advice when Felix feels out of place or judged by people. I believe they both can relate about not fitting entirely in the kpop industry. (Clarified by Two of Wands & Page of Wands) right now Chan is trying to help Felix better his skills to prepare him for something. He might help him with getting more opportunities or knows how to navigate or network with people. I'm also getting that he views Felix as a prodigy so he could be teaching him how to do certain things whether that's singing or writing songs. I don't know if i'm supposed to say this but I heard "debut single"?! 😳 Felix could have his own solo soon???

What does Felix think of Bang Chan?:

Two of Pentacles, Six of Wands, & Ace of Pentacles

For how Felix thinks of Bang Chan, he sees him as someone who is very balanced. He feels that Chris knows when to be a leader and when to be a friend. Felix doesn't feel as pressured to be perfect around him and for that he's grateful because I think he had fears of being in a group with people who were very mean because he could of encountered some trainees who didn't have the warmest disposition. He thinks that Chan is very confident as well, "born to be a leader". Felix believes that Chan is good with people and navigating the crowd or fans during performances or events. Again with this finacial opportunity?! Felix thinks that Chan provides him with abundance in his finances and career. I feel like Chan is the type of person who makes sure the members get paid or get their royalties because he knows that people can't get fucked over in the industry (good on ya, Chris 🫡). (Clarified by Eight of Pentacles, Page of Swords, & Six of Swords) Help??? Skkdmkdkdls. Chan is always at his desk when I channel him like even when I do readings on him I just see a computer monitor and he's just like 👨‍💻. Then on this card a girl is at her desk working on her computer, like dude give your eyes a break 😭. Felix believes he's very hard working but doesn't take enough breaks. They could bicker over this as well. "You should get some fresh air", "No, no, I have important stuff to do" but somehow Felix is always able to drag him out of his room LOL. I think they both do this to each other and vice versa.

What is their dynamic as friends?:

Knight of Swords, The Chariot, & Ten of Pentacles

"IS THIS WHO WE ARE??? IS THIS WHAT WE REPRESENT😨???" "HOW NASTY! HOW NASTY OF YOUUUUU!" Okay... if y'all are the type to view idols as these fluffy unicorn pure baby boy angels... I'm sorry to tell you this but that does not exist right here in this friend group LOLLL. Okay so I channeled the song Mr. Steal Your Girl by Trey Songz and Chan was called that in high school... let's just say that title has not left him. I feel when they like someone and just so happens to be the same person, they see who gets to them first? It's like a race for them. Or if they are out and see people that are attractive, they push the other to go and ask them out. THEY MAKE BETS WITH EACH OTHER OMG??? I heard "I bet you won't, I bet you won't 😏" by Mouse And Level 😭 (I'm ctfu fr, I'm living for this honestly).

Another channeled song I got is We Can Freak It by Kurupt. Dare I say it... they like to "pass it to the homies" and if you don't know what that means... They basically like to share someone that one or the other is dating or if they had an ex or something, they are okay with each other sleeping with that person. THIS GOT NSFW SO QUICKLY HOW DID WE EVEN GET HERE 😭😭💀?! 0 to 100 fr. They could have a similar taste or type in people. (Clarified by The Empress & Queen of Pentacles) laaaawd my assumptions were correct 😩. I'm just thinking of those wrestlers right now when there is two against one or two against two.... Channeled song: Tap Out by Jay Rock & Jeremih. I AM SO DONE WITH THESE TWO OMGGG. (Clarified by The Moon) Okay so let me paint a scenario for y'all. Let's say Chris and Felix were in the club. If they are out and see some baddies or whatever, they'd invite them back to like a hotel or ask them to come sit down in the booth with them. I heard "V.I.P lounge". It's giving "what's mine is yours", "esu casa, mi casa"... Well.... somebody is indeed in fact going "down under". Channeled lyrics are "Meet me in the club, it's goin' downnn" (It's Goin Down by Yung Joc). Um... Chile, anyways so- (Justice & The Hierophant) Their friendship seems balanced and fair. They have a strong bond and trust in each other. Strong venusian vibes with the Justice and The Hierophant (Libra & Taurus energies). I'm being reminded of Dr. Evil and Mini Me. Chan could see Felix as like a younger version of himself or its like big bro/little bro vibes going on. So Chan and Felix know they are good looking so they just be doing mischievous shit together (just TRIFLING 💀).

[reiverreturns]

I’m only starting to get into f1 can you explain the offseason f1 vs fia drama I wanna understand it

I certainly can m'love!

So a little bit of background context before I get into the meat. This whole drama centres around three main players. The first of these is Susie Wolff, an ex-DTM and F1 development driver, former CEO of Formula E, and now MD of the all-female series F1 Academy reporting directly into Stefano Domenicali. She also happens to be married to Toto Wolff (our second player), Team Principal of Mercedes AMG. Our third player is Mohammed Ben Sulayem, current FIA president who has been plagued with accusations of fostering sexism as of late as well as being an outright misogynist, stating that he thought women were stupider than men on a personal website prior to his election. He is also well known for not being popular in the ranks of F1, who see him as a powerplayer and someone who continually overreaches to influence the sport to an unreasonable degree.

SO. This all starts with swirling media rumours that earlier this season there was an incident in a TP meeting where Toto accidentally shared confidential insider information that triggered a complaint from one or more of the other team principals. The implication here was that Susie told Toto the insider info because she's his wife and apparently doesn't give a shit about professional integrity. Anyway the FIA confirmed this in a statement yesterday and said their Compliance Department is actively looking into the matter as a potential conflict of interest. Neither Toto, Susie, Merc, F1, or anyone else had been notified of this investigation and learned with all the rest of us through the press release that this was an ongoing investigation. Susie Wolff sends the most dignified and classy fuck you of all time via instagram and I fall in love with her a little more

Still, it's fair to investigate a complaint, right? Well here's the thing - this evening every single F1 team (bar Merc obvs) have released a statement saying they did not complain to the FIA about a potential conflict of interest. And if no one complained, the FIA have basically been caught with their pants down. They have either 1. taken grossly inappropriate action based on one shitty media report, 2. have lied about their reasons for investigating the Wolffs and Susie in particular, or 3. given the entire F1 paddock reason to lie about this which seems very unrealistic. F1 teams will happily throw one another under the bus for a dime there would have to be something immense happening to make them unite like this.

It's hard not to see this mess as a classic Ben Sulayem overreach and extremely sexist gamble to try and oust Susie Wolff from her senior position in the organisation. It's also hard not to see the teams' action tonight as a coordinated attempt to put pressure on the FIA and for Ben Sulayem to resign. Either way, someone's lied on an extremely public stage, put people's careers at risk, and the fallout is going to go on well into the new year.

Oh, and the FIA end of season awards show is on Friday. You know, the one some members of the Merc team got fined for not attending a few years ago when Hamilton got screwed out of an eighth world title. Lol. That should be a barrel of laughs.

Anyway that's what you missed on Glee I hope it helps/made some sense?!

As someone who ships leon and ashley and enjoys reading/consuming taboo topics and relationships in fiction including incestuous ones, it's so funny to me that I don't see eagleone that way at ALL. theyre one of the relationships i purely enjoy for being a cute wholesome romance and who i want to see thriving and happy (albeit i enjoy the tragic love angle too--) and yet they have a sizable age difference and a "power dynamic" (??????) so it's a "proship"... honestly outside of them both having a daddy kink i really dont want to see that with them!!! Its just not what I'm here for. Im here for that in OTHER ships and this was supposed to be my one good one and this is what happens. Lol.

As such I try to just not care when people accuse eagleone shippers of being weird because Im like... well I suppose I AM...... but it is really unfair for the majority of vanilla ones. Honestly I don't think the antis are secret shippers or secret incestuous shippers (...okay maybe like one or two--) I think they just have a "NOTP" or are scared of how much they relate to ashley as you say and are just making excuses for why they hate seeing fanart of them and blocking people who ship them. I notice this in other fandoms where people will say two characters are "sibling coded" and its just their way of saying they don't ship them. It's really weird frankly and they're basically ignoring canon to write worse fanfiction but that's just how it is these days.

personally, it actually blows me away that people think of Leon and Ashley as being "age gap" at all.

in modern day 2023, Leon is 46. Ashley is 39.

that feels really fucking normal to me in terms of ages for a couple LMAO if any of these dumbasses met a couple like that irl out in the wild today, no one would bat an eye. but that would require these people actually leaving the house, so.

the whole "power imbalance" thing is completely disingenuous, too, because people only look at it in the context of the events of the actual game and then pretend like that's going to be the norm for them forever and not, you know, a very unique, atypical, and extreme situation they're in.

but if anyone were to think about it a little bit as opposed to not at all, they'd realize that their power dynamic would shift once they got home, and then shift again once Ashley's dad is out of office -- and when the power dynamic is constantly changing, that's not exactly imbalanced, is it?

Leon has all of the power during the events of RE4make, and Ashley is wholly dependent on him. yes. that's true.

but once they're out of that combat situation and they're back home in DC, Ashley has literally all of the power in the world over him. she outranks him socially, and she theoretically has the power to make his life complete hell in terms of his career if she were to whisper in her dad's ear the right way.

but the title of "president" is a very temporary one, and once those very short few years are over...? neither Ashley nor Leon are in a position to hold any power over each other at all anymore. they just become two regular-ass people trying to fit into each other's lives.

the whole idea behind "Ashley is completely dependent on Leon in RE4make, which means she will always be completely dependent on him" isn't just based on a faulty premise -- it's also really sexist and gross and reduces Ashley to something less than human, because it assumes that she's incapable of autonomous thought.

and it's really funny how it's only the people who hate the ship that actually are problematic in their thought process. they project their internalized misogyny and sexual insecurities onto us.

I am pretty much as deep in the middle of eagleone fandom as a person can possibly be, and I have never known a single one of you fuckers to ship this ship because you have an age gap kink or because you get off on the power dynamics. the only time power dynamics get brought up is when we make knight/queen comparisons -- which actually gives Ashley the greater portion of power.

I mean, yeah, there is the whole thing where a lot of the fandom also is of a mind that there are some daddy issue kinks at play in the ship, but --

I don't wanna hear shit from people about us enjoying daddy kink between Leon and Ashley when literally the entire fucking RE fandom is out here posting pics of shirtless Leon mods and writing the word "DADDY" in giant fucking text at the bottom of the post. goddamn hypocrites.

hi edith as the only other person on here that i follow that enjoys adam what did you think about him in Vol.3? i think in my head once i let myself enjoy movie adam and comic adam as not two separate beings but obvious differences that i really enjoyed will's performance and i would be excited to see him again :)

HIII :) I feel you he's definitely mcu flavored but I liked Poulter's performance, I think he desperately needed a little more screen time but I was actually pretty pleased with what we got characterization wise. I have no faith in the mcu so the fact that I do feel like it IS Adam on screen, in his infancy, even if he's a little goofier than usual, it made me smile and I'm happy with it. I can understand why some people think they completely butchered him though lol but I disagree, I think James Gunn laid decent groundwork from which he can grow into the more serious/independent/insane person that he becomes later. He hasn't quite earned the title "Warlock" yet.

Spoiler thoughts under the read more.

My biggest problem with it all really is that Adam's not woven into the narrative well enough, after Ayesha's death his role in the story feels pretty aimless. It bothers me that we don't even get a hint of how he feels about his Mother dying after trying to save her, we needed at least a single line to address that and I would've liked some sort of final confrontation between him and the High Evolutionary. Everything before Ayesha's death is fine imo, Adam just doesn't really get to do anything at the end of the movie besides saving Peter which is a huge shame because it only needs a small rewrite to make it work.

I feel like his "redemption" is otherwise alright though, I like that he grows attached to that little furry creature and he mentions wanting credit for Rocket's capture so H.E doesn't kill the Sovereign, which gives him a reason to keep hunting the guardians that's not really malicious just misguided. With how young he is he still needs guidance and is seeking purpose and his own moral compass so I think Groot giving him a second chance and Adam taking that to heart is maybe a little cheesy but good, actually.

It's the little things that win me over though; he's obviously arrogant even if he still listens to his mommy, the Pieta and the Creation of Adam references (with Adam in God's place!!!), I love that H.E mentions there's something WRONG with him even outside of being born prematurely & he got to have a classic "WHY?" moment. And Gunn didn't fuck up his speech mannerisms horrifically even though he's British, it makes me giggle when he calls the High Evolutionary a "extraordinary phallus"... the comedy works for me tbh. Also he's powerful!! Wiping the floor with everybody so he has to be stabbed through the chest and blown up twice just to slow him down. Feels good feels organic. :)

Ayesha being his mom is kinda whatever though but we just didn't get enough scenes with them + the High Evolutionary so. Shrug.

OH one minor nitpick but while I don't mind him joining the GOTG at the end because he's still in his baby Him era, Adam's ego is too big to stay on a team where he's not the leader so I'm gonna need to see him butt heads with Rocket next time like he did with Ayesha.

TL;DR I'm shocked the mcu actually kinda pulled through on this for me but I love him. I'm terrified to see where they're gonna take him after this though because a decent start doesn't mean much if they just fuck him up later lmao.

I think that's all the thoughts I have... Overall it was good I liked it :) Obviously they could've done SOOOOO much more with Adam/Ayesha/the High Evolutionary but without any major rewrites Gunn just fumbled the ending a little bit lol. The costume is hideous though and the GOTG uniform is just whatever, I'm still praying on my hands and knees that he gets to have a emotional breakdown that turns him goth later.

Drunkposting here I go

here's the thing: I reread Beneath the Shadows or whatever the fuck I title that fic, and: It's sorely missing come cuddling. I thought it was fluff at the time because I have the EQ of a piece of bread but I see in retrospect that the Something Deranged universe was badly missing some actual tenderness. Maybe I will write some more later but in my mind they're very much in love in that series, no quesiton

I have been missing Oz a lot in past weeks that I have been having to work on other fanfics. Even tho I know like nobody gives a shit abut this pair or the fics (AH), I still miss the feeling of thinking on it every day. Sure beats thinking about work or whatever (fail life). To be honest, I have a scraps notes app thing of Chico andMiguel moments that is much more self indulgent (lol more so than my fic, even). In those i'ts like very like reciprocated and shit. Idk . To go off the canon characterisations, it would feel OOC to me, because I don't think there is a single character in Oz that is Actually 'nice". There're all assholes to be honest. So trying to imagine them as anything else feels disingenuous in some ways. Like I think they're humanistic but I think there is a danger of writing them as too nice, which would be false. i don't think they are nice people. I think miguel seems nice by comparison of the others in the show but if you plopped him amongst non-oz people, he would have a very uncomfortable and even threatening vibe. idk where i'm going with that thought.

Imagine for a second that this was a big fandom that created portmanteaus. what would miguelxchico be? mico? (laugh). chiguel?

I really like Oz but idk how long i see myself writing fic for it. this is a very give everything/get nothing type fandom (no offense); i feel like this is obvious either way). my own personality is such that i find it somewhat difficult to go on when there is no one matching my enthusiasm. like what's the point. oh, we do it for "for you", but get real, why should I write when nobody is read it lol. bu ru don;t post it or whatever the fuck! but i do like that this fandom has been around for so long, like there's still people doing events 20 years later. i think that's lovely. I am just worried my own focus will wane eventually. maybe i'll come back to it. this latest hyperfixation was after i reread some fics i had saved to my google drive. it's kind of funny to me that i'm probably never going to to write a miguelx ryan . i really like how other people wrote them (there is one with a diamond heist that is probably my fave) but i read all those before finishign the actual show and ryan is a shitbag i would dare not inflict upon miguel. i think someone should be inflicted upon ryan, tbh, say stanislofsky or whoever, idk. he's just some pathetic white guy to me. idgaf in canon. i'd beat him with a blunt object tbh. force feed him Respect women juice like leave gloria ALONE.... fanon makes him more sympathetic, I guess. LOL. he's on a thin wire with me, frankly. I don't have much sympathy for his life ruining tactics. I wish someone wrote a miguel x ryan fic where he ruined miguel's life too because that would SUCK but it would be in character for both of them (and i love angst). couldnt be me tho! I just don’t seem them as being very happily ever after tbh . There was a fic that some giy wrote (I think it’s funny that you could tell it was written by another guy idk) “interim” something idk whatever the fuck . I liked that it ended with Miguel sort of just riding off on his own. I feel like that felt right…. I remember other comments being very like bu fu about it but I think it worked /made sense . I realllt like that fic

inflicting chico on miguel conversely is amusing to me bc chico is down so bad and is at best a moderate annoyance ( aside from the attempted murder

i should write a mcd fic. i keep thinking this to myslef. i I did it for ding rong and cried like a baby while i was cooking dinner at the mere thouguht but it was kind of cathartic too. crying over fictional characters is always funny to me. i should kill chico and leave miguel alone alone.

i was originally looking for hte chico's so hot post but i couldn't find it. but i was real for that one. i need to start a tag for drunkposting probably

mukada x cloutier i still think about it

Cloutirrx Timmy Kirk also not bad

[sapropel]

you don’t even remember it, lol. how fucking shameful. you know how terrifying that experience is, having secret pictures of yourself get weaponized and publicized to call you out harder? do you know how mortifying, disgusting and invasive it feels having nudes attached for “evidence” to link blogs together, out of your hands and on the open web now? the person im talking about wasn’t guilty of anything more than calling their partner a title in bed that could be bad-faith-read into supporting incest, (of course, she didn’t support or excuse real abuse, not that it mattered to the calloutmonger who painted every other sexual post of hers with malice and predation) and you went right along and nodded your head at it like a good little duck following in a row. i remember you doubling down again and again, that this wasn’t okay and you were blocking people who tried to say that the mob spreading of her nudes couldn’t be justified. no one deserved to be cyberstalked through personal tiny blogs and made into a bloody spectacle, but for some reason this is always allowed to happen to trans women.

do you have any fucking idea how it feels? can you even imagine it? seeing people you thought were your friends, your friends friends, acquaintances, strangers; all of them hear the call that this one is one of the bad ones, and drop you like a stone without even a chance to speak out? you know what that does to trans women, who get constantly excluded and alienated out of irl lgbt shit and wind up online? you know how that feels? getting immediately thrown away and made into ammo for a dumbfuck culture war by people you thought gave even a tiny shit about you, who now call you an incestous danger to minors just like the alt right fucks do? and now, now you have the gall to turn around and try to act like you’re in any way above this when just a couple years ago you were baying for blood like the rest of them? you don’t have a single leg to stand on because you’re too afraid of looking bad to even consider you might’ve done wrong, to even extend the smallest piece of understanding towards women YOU helped get sexually harassed off the site. of course. everyone has bias but you, right? everyone has things to work on except when they’re big mistakes that would require actually doing some work challenging yourself. i dont want shit from you. i just want you to know that there are trans women who see right fucking through you. we can’t forget how we’ve been hurt, even if you get that privilege.

I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt so far but I hope you can see that it's absurd to accuse me of spreading revenge porn and get mad at me when I "don't even remember" but you won't give me any specifics about this situation you're talking about. If what you're accusing me of is true, how am I supposed to be held accountable and actually change myself for the better if you won't even tell me who or what you're talking about?

ao3 wrapped

6. Favorite title you used

I gotta give this one to an angel's share which was supposed to be a 5+1 that got. Out of Hand, let's say. The context is that I went to a distillery in Ireland at around the time I was being consumed by Trigun brainrot, and during the tour, the tour guide talked about how, when whiskey is aging in its barrels, it loses about 10% of its volume to evaporation, but back in the olden days, they didn't know that's what happened, so they chalked up the missing whiskey to "the angel's share"--where angels came down and blessed the barrels in the morning before they were opened, and took a drink with them. I found this anecdote to be so cute and inspiring, and I pictured Vash stealing things from Wolfwood and well. The rest is history. LOL

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Interestingly, I would say this is Wolfwood. Not because I actually felt like he gave me trouble during the writing process, but because Trigun fandom started to really make me question whether I was doing a good job with him by the end... Part of the reason an angel's share remains unfinished is because I feel vaguely... I don't know, embarrassed? It's difficult to keep going once the seed that I've been fundamentally mistaken about a character is planted, because I can't stop second guessing that I'm somehow doing something wrong. This, as well as some other factors, made Wolfwood difficult to go back to, despite that I love him and have confidence in my literary analysis of both him and Vash.

27. What do you listen to while writing?

So USUALLY nothing, but sometimes, I'll just listen to a single song on repeat that for some reason really gets me in the groove. For like no reason. Which is why my top songs on spotify are so fucked up LOL

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

I have a lot of favorites, but I love the drawing scene from chapter 5 of bodice ripper. It's both a massive narrative pay-off moment, and a showcase of good writing at the same time, and marrying those two aspects of narrative work has always been something I've struggled with! Here is my favorite excerpt from that scene:

With that, he turns to go. Jing Yuan is reminded, suddenly, of that day on the Alchemy Commission’s beach, when he’d run into Mr. Yang again after ignoring him for days. What if he had ended this all there? If he had allowed Mr. Yang to walk away back then, would it have been better? Certainly, it would have spared them both the tension of now. But— Is it so much better to have never suffered through loss, Mr. Yang had said at dinner, than it is to have risked and gained something that mattered? It occurs to Jing Yuan, throughout all this, he has risked nothing. Actually, he has risked nothing his entire life. And he has risked nothing knowing that risking nothing was the correct thing to do, because he has watched every person he has ever known risk something at the expense of everything, just because the potential return was high. It is he who has lived so long because he has always taken the cautious path, the meticulous path, knowing risk is only worth it when victory is assured first. He has always been a coward. It doesn’t bother him.
