#aaaand with gender characters

[angeltism]

like yes ru.i is super gender but for some reason seeing "he can be trans in every way" feels wrong to me

"Fear No Mort" was constant whiplash. In fact, I struggled to evaluate this episode at first because it was one twist after another. Throughout the episode, I had flashbacks to "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!" (the rap scene might've been a direct reference) and the Rickbot reveal in "Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation."

For better or worse, season seven's had a lot of callbacks and episodes that mirrored previous ones: "That's Amorte" played out like "Mortynight Run"; "Air Force Wong" brought together Dr. Wong, the president and Unity; "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" was a "Get Schwifty" sequel.

Seasons six and seven have also piled on the fanservice. The first four seasons stubbornly refused to give us what we want, dangling fan theories or a gentler Rick in our faces before yanking it away. Rick started to change in season five, but it's another ten episodes before you get Rick in a suit and tie, Rick announcing that Rickcest is canon, Rick regularly going to therapy, Space Beth joining the family and other content that's floated around the fandom since 2017.

And let's not forget the big one: C-137 Rick and Morty, Prime Rick and Evil Morty in one episode, fighting and teaming up after we saw Evil Morty's once-forbidden backstory.

Some call it cheap thrills, but I call it a gift to the fandom that's patiently waited for the fakeouts to end. And now that I've said that: "Fear No Mort" was one giant fakeout.

But was it, though?

This is the most unpopular opinion in the world, but I'm not invested in Rick and Diane's relationship. As a gay woman, I just don't connect with opposite-gender couples. Also, I dislike the trope of the idolized dead wife that the audience only learns about through her widower. She's not her own character, just an extension of the male protagonist.

When the fake Rick and Diane reconnected, I thought "Oh boy, this is getting cheesy." They're falling for each other again: check. Rick feels guilty about her death: check. We see how similar they are: check. Rick doesn't want to leave: aaaand, check.

I'm also a little lost after the ending. Morty was the only one in the hole, so why did we see all these scenes from fake Rick's perspective? Was an NPC really that busy?

How much we learned about Diane is debatable, too, since Morty never met her. I guess his ideas came from whatever Rick's told him and maybe the ship's voice since she's based on Diane.

I did like how the episode kept reminding us that Morty's still in the Fear Hole. I mean, we didn't know that, but we knew that. No "Are they in the Fear Hole or not??" until all the twists in the third act.

Aside from that, I don't want the show to revisit the past too much because Rick needs to let go. If you're a Marvel fan, you saw the backlash to Steve Rogers traveling back in time to spend a lifetime with Peggy in "Endgame." He had a life in the present, but he refused to move on.

Nostalgia makes us yearn for earlier years, but if Rick abandoned his family to live with Diane in another reality, I wouldn't call that a sweet ending. I'd call that a disappointment and a waste of his character.

Turns out, Rick never had that option at all.

Well...in a way, he did. And when Morty told him what he saw in the Fear Hole, Rick ran back to the restroom. He looked into the hole. He thought about it. And then he did what I wanted him to do, which was walk away. In this moment, he chose the present.

Admittedly, Morty's fear came true: Rick didn't jump in the hole after him, he did just sit there and watch, and he didn't want to say that Morty's irreplaceable out loud. Plus, Rick was bewildered when Morty hugged him. But for the first time, instead of standing stiffly or gently pushing him away, Rick started to hug him back.

We also saw what Morty didn't: Rick smiling to himself after hanging up the picture of Morty that he kept in his wallet. He had the chance to wallow in shadows of the past, but he didn't take it. Rick chose him.

"Fear No Mort" could've ended with Rick just saying "Let's go" and leaving, but it didn't. Seasons one and two Rick would've bitched and moaned about Morty taking so long. Season three Rick would've left him there for a while to torment him. Season four Rick would've found a way to take advantage of this.

But seasons five, six, seven? That's real character development. That's what all the Twitter users saying "Wow, Rick and Morty is actually good" have been missing out on.

And for the first time in the series, a season didn't end with Rick relapsing or getting a (well-deserved) ass kicking. Is Morty going to get the grandfather that he deserves? Or will he move on, too, now that Rick's releasing his iron grip? Speculating is fun, but for now, let's focus on today.

OMG! I love that you included the age regression part in the Hobie and neurodivergent reader thing! It's really cool to see people write for it especially with Hobie! It would be really cool if you could write more for it! No pressure tho! (Your writing is really really cool! /srs)

OMG TYSM ILY I- <3 <3 <3 /p

ofc!! if you want i can try writing it for all characters ? but im scared it'd be repetitive 🥲

BUT OMG I'M SO HAPPY PPL LIKE MY WRITING AAAAAA /pos

so here have a lil fic :3 tysm once again ily this made my day /g /p

sharing a non verbal moment in little space with hobie !

author's note: omg anon you made me so happy you fr got me giggling and kicking my feet in the air /pos

author's note 2: age regression is a coping mechanism often used by trauma/abuse victims in which one puts themself at the age they were when the trauma occurred - find more about it here!

synopsis/content: just a whole bunch of fluff for my new favorite anon <33 reader is a non verbal age regressor and gender neutral 🦅 this won't be proofread 🕺🏻also hobie is the reader's boyfriend <3 aaaand small mention of trauma

you heard some gentle knocking on the door of your room.

"doll? can i come in?" hobie asked, waiting for your response.

seeing you didn't say anything, he gently invited himself in.

as he noticed you playing with your stuffed animals on the floor, he instantly knew you were age regressing.

though you never talked to him about your trauma, he knew what were the signs of you being in your little space, so he tried his best to support you as he knew it was a trauma induced coping mechanism.

"i'm sorry i arrived late at the tea party" he says, joining you on the floor.

you chuckle at the sight of your boyfriend - the punk, careless boy - taking parts in such activities.

you took a small piece of paper and a colorful, shiny pencil next to you and started to write something.

"me.. can't talk.. me is nonverbal.." read hobie. "no problem!" he says with a frank smile. "you don't have to talk if you don't want to, there's really no pressure. do you want to watch some cartoons while i prepare you your favorite food? we can cuddle and fill in some coulouring books if you'd like to?"

you nod and flap your hands in excitement.

a few moments later, your boyfriend got in the living room with two plates of dino nuggets and a glass of vanilla milk and sat next to you.

while the two of you were eating, you excitedly pointed to the tv.

"bluey? is this who you are trying to show me?" he asked.

you nod as excitedly as you pointed out your favorite character again.

"you're right, star." hobie nods. "bluey is also my favorite character. you know why? because she reminds me a lot of you - being so cute and when she's all excited."

you and your boyfriend kept on watching bluey and filling out coloring books for so much time you started to get tired.

"say, isn't my little star getting tired?" he asked as he noticed you started yawning.

you tried to shake your head as a way to say no, but soon after that you started falling asleep on your colorings.

"come on, little one, i think it's time we go to sleep" hobie said softly. "don't worry, tomorrow we will have plenty of time to finish those coloring pages."

you headed to the bathroom, holding hands while he helped you brush your teeth and fix your hair.

he then helped you getting in bed, making sure that you didn't leave out any plushies on the floor (that made you sad) and joined you for some pre-sleep cuddles.

"have a good night star" he says as he softly kisses your cheek. "i love you."

THIS WAS SO FUN TO WRITE ILY FOR THAT ANON <333 I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY <333

Man I cannot be the only one who feels that it will be Extremely Uncomfy if the LD writers don't subvert the whole "sexy crime lady planet" vibes with the Orions next season by showing how it's not cool and progressive, actually, to be part of a culture built on massive wealth inequality, sexism, crime, and literal slavery, just because the women are in charge and wear leather and whatever.

Like the whole 'monehead club thing? Fantastic worldbuilding, loved it—provided that next season it's shown that it's actually really uncomfy and frankly scary that those places exist.

Aaaand no, it actually doesn't make all that okay just because Orion is a matriarchal society instead of a patriarchal society. I think that, handled well, next season's Orion arc could be a really fascinating study of a world where the gender roles are indeed truly reversed by means of a physical advantage that women on Orion have over men, and how leveraging that physical advantage to oppress the other gender creates a whole new kind of fucked-up, which humans just don't recognize as bad because we come from the other end of the spectrum. Having Tendi, the Starfleet scientist, use her position in the Syndicate to undermine that system is the only way I can see her character willingly take up the mantle of Mistress of the Winter Constellations again and still be a good person. Also, slavery? I think it's not a good idea for us to forget that Orion has (or at least had) a massive slavery problem.

I trust the LD writers to write a smart and introspective story about this culture. I trust them to take a critical look at this culture and planet and show how it's fucked up and in need of serious reform. But if they don't, I have to admit that I will be...uncomfortable at best, and extremely disappointed at worst.

I agree with what you put. The mlm community confuses me because, as someone apart of it, so many male readers say they hate when women write mlm, but they then complain when people don’t want to write gay Fanfiction. They’re women. They shouldn’t have to write for a gender they aren’t or whatever just because YOU(not actually you) feel like they should

Exactly! Now, idk, but I think that a lot of gay people have internalized misogyny as well as homophobia. I like @norrisleclercf1 and the poly fics they write. I’m not going to force someone to write poly bc I like it with certain pairings? And then they were getting hate for writing poly fics because the drivers are bi (? I think?)? Like people are going to hate no matter what. Don’t bitch and moan about not having something if you aren’t going to write it. The person I reblogged does write mlm, but some don’t. And tbh, I don’t fit the verbal description of many y/n fem insert stories, but I go “aaaand not that” when I come across something that doesn’t apply to me. And idk about you but calling the writers and readers of fanfic “females” rubs me the wrong way. This is kinda part of the internalized misogyny and homophobia. Idk, I get being mad if people aren’t re blogging your work but liking it, I don’t get attacking authors for no reason. If you don’t like the author, block them. Simple as that. Thanks for reading my Ted talk 🤣

I’d also like to add that I’m bi, and I don’t see a ton of representation for me in the media, but I just, once again, mentally make the fanfic work for me. I’ve read fics where the character is black and you just move tf on. Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.

Real Genius

AMAZING!!! I loved it so much, will be watching again for the good vibes and fun stuff. Here’s some thoughts:

I’ve been putting off watching this movie for a while, because it’s a Val movie and I was afraid it was going to be a cringey movie but I’d enjoy it anyway bc I love him so much

This was not the case. The movie was fun and cool!

80s vibes were there. I watch movies made in this time period to see ridiculous haircuts, fun outfits, bright colors, and songs where the drummer abuses the hell out of their snare drum, and this Had it for sure. Also extra points for the iconic Tears for Fears song making a debut at the end.

I always love movies about silly shenanigans, ride or die friend groups, and stick-it-to-the-man vibes. This fit that bill for sure.

Aside from the obvious objectification of women typical of the time period, I’d say this movie wasn’t as misogynistic as I thought it would be! Jordan’s character was an actual human being, she was fun and cool and had a cute little romance with Mitch that wasn’t reductive of her humanity. (Bare minimum, but hey. This is an 80s movie. The bar is on the floor). Also, woman in STEM! Points for that.

Oh my god Val Kilmer’s character was a total vibe. He was silly and fun and had heart, and was great to watch. Not to mention how much of a theater kid I could tell Val is 🤣 (the way he pronounces “wh” and his ability to use energy and physical comedy). Which is to say it was amazing. And his character is SOOOO gender, as usual with me and Val characters, but my god the chaos bisexual gremlin vibes were off the CHARTS.

Aaaand how could I close out this review without saying IT FEATURED A PAIR OF RAYBANS!!! it’s per my blog title after all.

Thanks for the rec!! Can’t wait to rewatch and reblog gifsets!!

"Yummy, delicious flower!!"

Summary: while choosing flowers can be quite the task for most people, all of the thought that goes into the gift is thrown out the window when you jokingly bite off a good chunk of the plant and flee;

Characters: dorm leaders;

Warnings: none really it's half serious half joking, could be viewed platonic or romantic, reader is gender neutral, reader has playful disposition;

Side notes: after short research it seems that only hydrangeas are poisonous and can harm living beings if eaten in an excessive amount so don't eat them guys. Also I've written the meanings of flowers that fit both platonic and/or romantic but other meanings are generally positive so it's fine if you think of something else~

Riddle

— at first, he was perplexed by the sudden scene that played before his eyes. Did you just bite the rosebud off the white rose Riddle held out to you right now...?

— the shock was short lived as you bolted to your morning classes, shouting something along the lines of "thank you for the food" and "bring some more later";

— anger overtook red haired boy: his face flaming up at once and hand clutching at what remained of the delicate flower, its thorns threatening to harm the soft flesh only to be stopped by black leather gloves which saved its wearer from any pain. The lad screamed back, demanding for you to return this instant and explain yourself but alas it was too late;

— initially, the white rose in question was supposed to be tossed away, however, when Riddle finished supervising his dormmates perform sceduled pruning earlier this morning, he couldn't help but take a note of it's beauty;

— it was flesh, healthy and striving just like Heartslabyul itself under it's dorm leader's watchful gaze. Although, it wasn't just Riddle's aspiration for his dormmates to excel but also for you too;

— he was always there to help with your academic stuggles, taking pride in the fact that it was him that you turned up to when there was an issue. He never held back on praise and soft smiles each time you happily showed him a well-passed test;

— after coming back from fond memories Riddle had taken the rose with him, eagerly waiting for your daily visit to the dorm's doorsteps;

— unfortunately, the way you "accepted" his gift set Riddle off for good, rendering it impossible for you to be spared from heartshaped collar meant for "disciplinary purposes" next time you see each other

Note: white rose (I'm worthy of you)

Leona

— aaaand that's what Leona gets for trying to show a tiny drop of tenderness: you chewing on the grass he picked for you specifically and skipping away;

— he brings his free hand to his forhead with an already formed scowl: Leona is extremely tempted to start calling you herbivore again after dropping the nickname some time ago, as a sign of recognition that is starting to slip away;

— why did he think it was a good idea anyways? He was eyeing the fluffy plant in the botanical garden for a while, it sticking out of a couple of rocks, unbothered by other tall and lush flora surrounding it;

— it was laughable really, the weeds reminded Leona of you: you were nowhere near like Jack or better part of Savanaclaw residents yet you managed to stand your ground thus usually avoiding getting in the dog house;

— you were as stubborn as the beastman himself, showing no signs of backing out even with Leona's frequent brooding paired up with ennui and dismissive, unmotivated attitude;

— of course those positive qualities have to be offset by your childish antics...The man would pish and growl at your mischief but ultimately let you go along with it unless he's extra irritated that day. Then he would grab the back of your shirt or jacket and shoo you away as if you are some small pesky kitten;

— Leona setteled on calling it a day rather than chasing your tail and headed back to his dorm, casting the plant stem into the nearby window;

— he briefly reflected on your behaviour, trying to think up other ways he could get to you. The dorm leader of Savanaclaw stretched a bit and laid down on the messy bed, his last thoughts before drifting to dreamland being the way you cupped his hands as you drew them near your face to take a bite of measly grass;

Note: edelweiss (courage)

Azul

— "Pardon?" was the phrase that came out unintentionally from Azul's mouth, making merman completely lose sight of excited speech he was giving prior to your...peculiar act;

— by contrast you cheerly have just finished munching white clovers, only leaving leaves and stems on his desk. Using Azul's bewilderment to your advantage, you bid him goodbye and swiftly left his office with a bounce in your steps;

— for a split second Azul assumed he had forgotten about some ridiculous land dweller's custom, only to compose himself back;

—Preposterous! He studied each land custom and tradition in depth: there is no possible room for misinterpretation. You must have pulled his leg, just like you sometimes do in order to see how he reacts;

— Azul lets out a sigh. He swears to the Great Seven if you pulled this prank of eating bouquets right in front of Mostro Lounge's customers and patrons, he would pass out on the spot;

— it's not to say Azul sees you as someone awkward, lowly or plain. No, in fact he finds you valuable despite the fact that he delt with individuals far more talented and beneficial than you;

— and yet, your partnership (at least that's what Azul calls it) is something that he can't say he doesn't enjoy. Your company is comforting and he doesn't feel put off by your pranks, over time even indulging by pulling some of them himself, resulting in a quality time spending;

— octomer will never admit that he was truly lucky to meet such an amazing person like you, always reasoning that it was his flawless exterior, "wish granting" capabilities and pure benevolence that draw you in;

— flowers are given under different circumstances, it wouldn't hurt to present you at least one little flower. Besides his vice dorm leader didn't mind Azul taking freshly gathered clovers that he picked up on his mountain stroll;

— now though, Octavinelle dorm leader decided to treat you with meals rather than gifts for some time, just in case...

Note: white clover (think of me)

Kalim

— if you were to be strolling past Night raven college's courtyard at noon, you would certainly hear a loud "EHHH??" followed by a great deal of "WHAT"s from the Scarabia's dorm leader who was currently standing in shock;

— Kalim really couldn't help himself: he just witnessed you gobble down the jasmine bouquet he handed to you! He was about to ask you all sorts of questions, however you flashed a toothy smile coupled by a giggle and darted into the building straight away;

— poor boy had to run after you, calling out your name but eventually he lost your sight. After a considerable breather, Kalim came to decision to just return to Scarabia dorm for the time being instead of trying to chase you down;

—the dorm itself was still engulfed in fragrant smell of hundreds upon hundreds white jasmine flowes, all sent as a present. It was nearly impossible step in the lounge room and not crush at least one flower. The dorm leader was quite saddened by the fact that he couldn't host any gathering due of strong aroma, preventing lots of guests from coming over;

— first thought that came to Kalim's mind was to just pile them up and lock away in one of the rooms, when he was struck by the words you said multiple times: don't take for granted abundant resources that you possess and think carefully about how to spend them;

— with a smile appearing on his features, Kalim quickly had started gathering flowers into bouquets, deciding to hand out flower bouquets until Scarabia was free from heavy jasmine scent. While he was on his way to headmage's office, treading through the college's courtyard, he saw you sitting on the bench. "Lucky!" the white haired boy said out loud as he approached you to gift you one of the bouquets;

— still, he couldn't understand why did you eat the flowers as you seemed well fed, up until he was half way through telling Jamil what happened, Kalim realized that it was just one of the jokes you both were usually making! With that, he busted into laughter, much to the vice dorm leader's confusion.

Note: white jasmine (modesty, hospitality)

Vil

—"Just whAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING-" was a cue that left Vil's flawless lip-balmed mouth, meaning it's time to scramble away till the beautiful male caught up and rebuked you;

—alas, you are nowhere near as nimble or elusive as certain huntsman so once you made two steps to the side, Vil just had to extend his arm to take a hold of your shoulder and turn you around to face him head on, caging you by grasping your forearms with his gloved hands;

— okay, Pomefiore's dorm leader has put up with your playful personality: be it by letting you play bowling with emptied hair-care bottles or building towers from nail polish flasks and lipstick. But he never permitted you to eat ingredients for face masks, potions and other home-made beauty products;

— and as if now he is compaled to ban eating just about anything in his presence until Vil is convinced that it's 100% safe and edible;

— to think he was about to hand you a bouquet of delphiniums! If his vice dorm leader didn't remind Vil that those flowers are highly poisonous, the beautiful male would have to carry you straight to infirmary. Instead, he went with dahlias, as he felt that their meaning suited better;

— Vil couldn't pin point what was it that made you so endearing. It was truly strange: you definitely had things that need polishing and those things did not only include physical appeal. Yet it felt like you were complete: like a painting that was ready to be displayed to the public;

— with that said, the dorm leader decided to just let good moments happen, not seeking out the exact reason for why they were so good in the first place. Maybe it's because Vil often felt genuine confidence while doing anything alongside you, or when he would let himself lose a bit, comfortably sharing some of his thoughts, desires and with you;

— it would be a great tragedy if he were to lose a friend like you.... especially if it was because of your foolishness and his overlook;

— that was precisely why Vil was scolding you for seemingly harmless joke, not because you embarrassed or disappointed him but because you could lose your life;

— as male clamed down a little he have loosen his hold of you, although not releasing you completely. Vil gently pressed his body to yours as if he was hugging you, whispering quietly, demanding you to swear not to scare him like that ever again.

Note: dahlia (good taste), delphiniums (ability to strive and achieve, openness)

Idia

— what would you do if you saw a nice blue flower bouquet sticking right from Ignihyde dorm leader's doors? Why, start eating it of course!

— the sheer horror that washed over poor Idia when he saw you chewing hydrangeas flowers through the small gap between the door and the door frame. No no no no that's not was supposed to be happening! Blue haired male immediately pulled his hand away and closed the door, locking it from the inside;

—ugh that was mega embarrassing...he looked over to the half eaten bouquet and facepalmed. Idia shouldn't have went along with Ortho's plan;

— Idia's train of thought was halted when he heard a notification sound coming from his smartphone. He picked it up and thew himself on the bed. It was a message from you saying that it was a prank, hoping he didn't take any offence, peppered with emojis;

— thanks Seven you didn't see the face of the exasperation and annoyance that the male was making. Srsly? A prank? What are you, a nine year old?

— he kind of got used to your jumpscares and occasionally strange normie behaviour. He was mainly okay with it since you were insanely interesting to chat with. Additionally, you didn't bother him too much and didn't force him to go out frequently which was a win/win;

— you respected Idia's bounties and shared some of his views which made your friendship bloom a little faster than usual irl. He even would go out of his way and invite you over to Ignihyde to play a new coop game or aid him with machinery he was currently tinkering, tho it wasn't that common;

— in the end of the day, you would communicate through hundreds of messages, typing about all sorts of things happening in the net or during the day. Ortho, albeit happy for his older brother having a new real life friend, wanted both of you to get closer, so he suggested Idia to present you something since gift giving can increase mutual affection level up to 30%;

— the dorm leader didn't find the idea to be that bad, he could deliver your present via one of his drones and- what? Give it in person?? Nuh-uh, not happening!

— as you already know, it did happen and flame haired male wasn't exactly satisfied with the results. Even though his little bro tried to cheer him up, Idia decided that he would just give you only edible things in the future....

Note: blue hydrangeas (gratitude for being understood)

Malleus

—oho, how intriguing. Malleus, in fact, did not expect you to accept his gift in such a fascinating manner: by consuming the rosy flower and giving him a heartfelt, proud smile;

— fae let you run off into the night, pleased with the reaction you showed him. Not only did it entertain him but also helped him bring to his mind why he would relish in any major or minor interaction involving you;

— your presence always carried particular joy that Malleus found captivating. You were not overly judgement, nor fearful of things that would normally thow anyone else into panic too. What's more, you could listen to him speak as well as keep conversation going, which made your encounters even more desirable;

— with all those feelings of delight, Diasomnia's dorm leader made a return to the dormitory's lounge where his retainers were eagerly awaiting for their master's homecoming;

— what followed next was three emotions: content, confusion and absolute outrage;

— Lilia found the whole situation to be fairly chucklesome. Vice dorm leader was more happy with the fact that your response caused sparkles to appear in young prince's eyes. Silver rightfully felt confused by the events that unfolded. Well, since it went pretty smoothly he came to the conclusion that he oughtn't question your ways;

— the one who was summoning all his willpower not to go into long tirade about how utterly ridiculous, mannerless and appalling your actions were was none other than the youngest one of the four: Sebek;

— half-fae was clutching his pants and keeping his sharp eyes shut as not to show his true feelings regarding your transgression. How could Sebek even dare to oppose his master when he was going on and on about the way your mischievousness brought his so much joy;

— all while Malleus himself was ardently looking forward to meeting you again, wondering what kind of experience will you provide him tomorrow.

Note: pink carnation (I will never forget you)

For anyone interested in the Teniwoha Villain manga, it's out now!

It's free on comic HOWL for anyone to read (granted in Japanese)

The main characters are Azul Orio (the boy on the cover) and Renri Mido. And it seems the manga will focus on their relationship and gender identities. As of the start of this chapter, Azul refers to himself with 'boku', the standard masculine pronoun. In casual settings, it could be read as a bit mild mannered compared to other pronouns, but really there isn't much to say, it's very normal for a teenage boy. The official description describes him as a "boy unsure of his gender" but the specifics aren't clear yet. Renri on the other hand is a very rough and tumble kind of hypermasculine talker, his pronoun of choice is 'ore' which is also normal for a teenage boy but has a much rougher edge to it. Throughout the comic, Azul refers to him in the narration with 'kare' which is a little unnessary in Japanese sentences where the subject is often inferred from context, but this very much is an equivalent to 'he/him' (plot summary based on what I understood under the Read More, Spoilers for the chapter ahead)

Edit: I read someone's translation and I was a fair bit off with some parts of this summary, that being said I'm leaving this post up for posterity

Not long ago, Azul was in a bad fight (possibly due to his identity) and was injured but Renri saved him and they became friends. Now, after school, Azul goes to Renri's flat to hang out, since Renri apparently doesn't go to school that much. They eat McDonald's together, joking around, having a grand old time and play rock, paper, scissors for the last chicken nugget. Azul likes boys and has developed feelings for Renri. But after one visit, he realises he forgot his phone and returns while Renri is in the shower. He decides to snoop around his crush's flat a little whilst he's out of the way but then accidentally sees a half dressed Renri drying himself off (world's quickest shower ???) Azul is shocked to see Renri... has boobs... Aaaand cliffhanger for what this means for him and Renri until the next chapter on the 15th March 😭(i'm too impaitent...)

[hoochieblues]

for the wip ask meme, please can i have as much as you feel comfortable sharing about 'funk hole' (an inherently funny combo of words, onomatopoetically speaking) or failing that the nanananana HANNIBAL (im assuming hummed to the batman theme tune)!

Thank you! You can have both! :D (oprahwinfreybees.gif )

Ngl, Funk Hole's title choice is like 50% 'oh this would be an attention grabber heh heh' but the phrase was also WW2-era slang, capitalising on the anger/fear that people were using country hotels or resort towns to hide out away from the bombardment and fighting ('funk hole' having originally been military slang for a dugout). The press really went after certain areas for this, including Torquay, where I lived for... like six months at one point, and distracted myself by reading a lot of local history. (side note: the majority of my family's from Kent/London, and when you listen to people's memories, or just look a map of V2 bomb sites, you can extra see why the idea that wealthier folks were just paying to avoid the reality of war generated so much rage.)

So, it's a queer romantic drama set in 1940s south Devon, in a (mostly) fictional quaint little country hotel run by an eccentric old lady, with help from her quiet, bookish nephew, a socialist conscientious objector saddled with the first name Raleigh. Poor bastard. Cue the cast of weirdoes living in the hotel - a mix of neurotic oddballs, well-heeled assholes, self-styled bohemians and Artsy(tm) types - until a new guest arrives: a recently disabled ex-pilot recovering from his injuries, his stay paid for by a wealthy relative.

You know where this is going. But I promise it's going to be an interesting or at least enjoyable journey. Probably. idk, this one's still largely notes on a proverbial napkin, but it's got all that good potential: the dissolving myth of 'England' in the post-Edwardian mess of the early-mid 20th century; the rapidly changing roles and boundaries of class, gender, and identity; hurt/comfort with graphic skin graft recovery (I read multiple books about Harold Gillies and now everyone else must suffer); characters forced to come to terms with lives and worlds irreparably changed by things beyond their control... and so forth. With luck, I might actually get to writing up the first draft later this year.

Aaaand then there's the Batman Hannibal AU, a concept which is largely @emungere's fault and that is the story I'm sticking to. It is entirely skates dangerously close to crackfic and is not to be taken at all seriously.

More beneath the cut if you dare.

Essentially, Hannibal is Alfred. Mischa is Batman, Chiyoh is Robin (kinda), and Commissioner Crawford has a perpetual headache. And Will Graham is... Dog...Man...?

The Lecter siblings coped with the death of their parents in different ways. Hannibal largely withdrew from society while Mischa secretly became The Bat, a vigilante who fights crime but does not kill, despite the fact that assholes are constantly breaking into Lecter Manor to rob/murder the city's wealthiest siblings. Fortunately, Hannibal's there to keep things neat and tidy... and cater spectacular menus for his beloved little sister's charity galas.

Things get complicated when Chiyoh lays a little too much smackdown on one of The Bat's enemies, and they bring him back to the estate to recover. This one's still in super early stages, but I cannot resist sharing the visual that would never ever leave my head. I'm sorry. Not very sorry, though.

________________________________

Shreds of moonlight glanced off the brickwork and made ghosts of the gasoline rainbows in the puddles underfoot. The alarm still blared in the distance, shrill and ignored. Wherever the figure had gone, they were trapped in the alleys now. No way out. Mischa stole forward, boots silent on the greasy asphalt.

Chiyoh sniffed. “Smells like wet dog.”

Mischa shot her a frown. Rain beaded the tight slick of Chiyoh's hair, as dark and smooth as her high-necked black suit. Behind the mask, her gaze stayed firm. Mischa felt her lips twitch.

“What d’you expect?” she murmured. “It’s rough out there.”

Chiyoh sighed and looked away. Movement deeper in the alley drew their attention, and they crept forward. Mischa drew breath to call out to the thief, but something shifted in the dark.

A dog ran out of the shadows, a scruffy white-and-brown little thing, barking and showing his teeth. He stopped a few feet from them, stubby legs planted determinedly square, and let out the squeaky small dog version of a baying howl, back end quivering with over-excitement.

“Buster!” A voice called from the depths of the alley. “Leave!”

The sound of scrabbling paws and footsteps filled up the dark, and a dog pack of varying shapes and sizes burst from the alley. If Mischa hadn’t known better, she’d have said the scruffy little dog looked almost smug. Beside her, Chiyoh reached for a blade, but her hand stopped at her utility belt as three of the larger dogs pushed forward, growling.

“I wouldn’t do that. They’re… protective.”

A figure all in black—black jeans, black sweater, black hat pulled low over unruly dark curls—melted from the shadows behind the dogs. A small blue backpack dangled from his fingers. The kind people who hiked a lot zipped their pets into so that Fido could carry his own snacks and water bottle. Each of the dogs had one, but something trailed from the unzipped backpack in the man’s hand. Even in the dim light of the alley, the strings of diamonds glittered.

“You’re kidding, right?” Chiyoh said, her tone flat. “The Westerley robbery. And you… put….”

She let out a long, weary breath. Mischa lifted her chin. The subway vent behind her hissed. Steam rose, turning white against the cold. It snaked around her ankles, climbing the sleek black of her cape. If he knew who she was, he didn’t seem to care, and that irked her. All of Gotham knew The Bat.

“Who the hell are you, anyway?” She glanced at the pack surrounding him, each with their own little harness stuffed with ill-gotten gains. Seven sets of jaws panted, each furnished with awfully white teeth. “Dog… Man…?”

He stepped forward and clipped the backpack onto Buster, who lifted each paw obediently in turn, never looking away from Mischa. When the guy straightened up, he didn’t meet her eyes, but he wore a hard, crumpled kind of smile.

“Funny. No. You can call me The Packmaster.”

“I don’t think so,” Chiyoh said.

Her hand moved in a blur. The blade flew, silver against the dark. Mischa caught her breath, and it was easy to fall into the rhythm of their training, to read Chiyoh’s body language as easily as her own heartbeat, and to know she was just as readily understood.

Together, no one would stand against them.

Laws of Attraction Ep 1

Let's goooooo!!! I'm a huge fan of JamFilm and a huge fan of cross-genre romance (where the other genre isn't just set dressing for the romance, but the romance is still holding it together) so I am excited. I'm expecting something like Manner of Death, although not so spicy. I thought To Sir With Love was pretty much perfect for what it was (a soapy period drama) so I'm excited to see what exactly this is and just how soapy it will be.

I love a cinnamon roll, but it's a lot of fun seeing Film play an unscrupulous lawyer (Chan) this time. He is my babygirl already. Jam's character just kicked a guy who went absolutely sailing over Chan's head in an absurd manner and now they're making eyes at each other. I am going to have a lot of fun here.

Tin has a lovely family and is all about honesty. Oh no, this adorable niece is functionally his adopted daughter. Aaaand she's dead. I can understand a child actor being unable to stay still enough in a shot but they really should have cut out the bits with her eyes obviously moving. He's been raising her since she was a babyyyyyy.

Saved from a plant! Stuck on a button! The camera is not shying away from the fact that Film is taller. Okay, now the truth is out. I like 'initial attraction > actually you are trash' as a starting point for this, I assume we'll be getting 'we are forced to work together' next episode.

The kidnapping scene is a memory? Interesting. Chan is a Fallen Idealist and we are clearly going to find out later how he got that way. He's so punchable but has the 'go ahead and punch me, I'll probably like it' vibe that must be especially infuriating for Tin.

Of course, some of the slimy evil may be front, since Chan clearly suspects that there's more going on here. Chan is so unhinged but in what direction? This man has Schemes and one of them involves getting Tin naked in the creepiest way possible, so be prepared for that if you haven't actually watched this yet (but I assume it's as a means to manipulate him and not actual assault). I still love him though, the man even babygirls himself so I don't have to put in all the work.

This show is probably going to replace my entire personality, that's not an apology, just a warning. So far it feels like everything I wanted it to be. Definitely not a typical BL vibe but also still a show that is meant to be Entertaining above all.

Translation note: the word for aunts/uncles younger than your parents differs by side of the family but not by gender, which is why Tin keeps getting called 'auntie.' And the same word if for grandchild/niece/nephew so that's an issue as well. I feel like the translators got a transcript but not the actual video? But I'm just glad I'm not waiting a week for subs.

okay I gotta talk about Cyberpunk 2077

I really really wanted to play this game on launch back in 2020 but it was just...not ready so I avoided it. I also know the game was criticized for some things and a bunch of people made thinkpieces about how you shouldn't play it and all that. and like...sure have your opinions about it, that's fine. I was disappointed at the launch, but content wise I wanted to play the game for myself. so I waited until it went on sale for 50% off this year and bought it on GOG (which, if you're interested, that sale happens at least like twice per month).

before I went on vacation to Europe at the end of June, I finally started it. and I was....kinda in shock????

(keep in mind this is pre-2.0 patch so some of this might be out of date when that comes out)

(major story spoilers below)

first off the character creation is......not amazing? like there's plenty of nice preset options but it's limiting. V's gender being tied to their voice is FUCKING AWFUL, and I do not agree with that direction in the slightest. tbh I think that might be the absolute worst part of the game, where it would have been much easier to just...give you an option for pronouns?? like why was that not the direction wtf. and also having your voice and body type be a prerequisite to romance options too?? I just....UGH there's work to be done here.

past that tho, I love how much personality V has and I love the acting. I went with female V with a Street Kid background. it was really nice seeing how she came back from Atlanta to start back up in Night City and how her relationship with Jackie quickly blossomed. and man these two together were so great. imagine getting close to killing someone and getting arrested and then being like "bruh that cop was a fucking asshole and I'm hungry, let's go get some food bruh" and then I saw The Montage.

man....man oh man that fucking Street Kid montage of V doing jobs with Jackie? with the music in the background? I ended up watching that like 2-3 times (because the game crashed) but i genuinely did like it a lot and it really set me up with for the overall vibe of Night City. I dunno maybe I'm easily entertained but it was...just so cool?? I think it really lends itself to the animation and acting in the game overall. while most basic NPCs are nothing special to talk about, the ones who are, who clearly have some mocap going on with their facial expressions, are a fucking treat to watch regarding body language and subtle facial changes.

I somehow avoided all spoilers of the game for nearly three years (also do not have experience in this IP) so I had no idea who Johnny Silverhand was and his significance to V. I wasn't a huge fan of him in the beginning but I quickly grew to like this asshole, especially as the game progresses and you learn more about him and his ideals and his very flawed perception of the world. I really really wanted there to be a solution where he and V live happily in the end, but ofc this genre does not allow happiness lol. It was very cool to hear his input during some jobs even if I thought they were ridiculous sometimes or he was jumping the gun a bit, and it was nice to get to know him better. I eventually came to see him as a bit of an older brother figure for my V. not perfect and offered "sage" advice when he felt warranted. obviously he has some self interest in keeping V alive because that means he stays alive, but it was very sweet to see him change over time to wanting to genuinely help V out.

by the end, I chose the route to storm Arasaka with Rogue because....why the fuck not, it's not my definitive playthrough. Aaaand I got The Sun ending. Rogue died. and I hated that. but more than that I wasn't happy with my V and her situation, but I'll get back to that in a bit. that brings me to the romance option.

again, I somehow avoided all spoilers for this game and while I vaguely remembered seeing Judy in one of the initial trailers from like...3+ years ago, I couldn't fully remember her role in the story or even what she looked like. all I can say is.....fucking love at first sight.

ok so like...I'm a bit of a simp for nerdy girls. and techy girls. and alt girls. and artsy girls. so to have her be nerdy and techy and alt and artsy and also have hobbies outside of that? man....the second I went to her apartment and learned more about her hobbies and interests, I was fucking smitten. it was super nice to be able to see regular people shit out of a romance option in a major game. and on top of that. her drive and interest in standing up to injustices is admirable. I love her, seriously. she's such a great character.

the romance. man.....I wish I had more words for it, but the way it progresses through the questline, the little hints you get about her own interest in you (Johnny mentioning the way she looks at you and you liking it), the way her texting towards you starts to change over time. I feel like it was paced extremely well within the confines of the game. and then....Pyramid Song happened.

at first, I approached this as any other romance in any other RPG. "oh yay, I can fuck the romance option yaaayyy" but nah. this quest fucking....ruined me in the best way possible. it was beautifully done. the acting, the emotional impact of the lake dive, V and Judy's minds melding into one, learning about Judy's past and hearing her memories... even writing this paragraph now I am near tears because that romance was so fucking well done. like yeah the eventual sex scene was great, but everything leading up to that was absolutely fantastic. to have seen this in a game, especially as a lesbian interacting with a character who ALSO is a lesbian, was just.....ugh it meant so much and I know there's no way a straight man wrote this lmfao.

I also love how after the relationship starts, Judy continuously texts you for A WHILE afterwards. She tells you random things, brings up her thoughts, and eventually tells you how much you mean to her. It is unbelievably cute and I couldn't stop smiling when I read every new text. I really hope they expand this in the update. And if not....well...I may consider doing this myself in a mod or something lmfao.

I also went through Panam's questline and tho it sucks that I couldn't romance her, I did develop a headcanon for V's interactions with her that I made a post about previously. like idk after seeing and meeting her in her quest, she was not at all who I thought she'd be. I was expecting some like....extremely femme prissy woman like...idk Loba from Apex Legends or something who couldn't break a nail or she'd fuss about it (remember I avoided all spoilers of this game lol). but NAH, def not her. she's more like "hey V, how many tons of dynamite do we need to wake up an entire Wraiths camp?" and you know what? I fucking love that shit.

which brings me back to the ending. I had a headcanon for my V that basically goes like this:

V is a Street Kid merc from Night City who comes back from Atlanta to restart her life. She meets Jackie and they quickly become best friends. All the shit about Arasaka happens and Jackie dies. V starts to have second questions about whether or not reaching the top of Night City and becoming the best merc is really what she wants. She's seen death plenty but Jackie's death has haunted her and now she herself dying. In the midst of doing jobs to survive and figuring out how to fix her situation with the Relic, she meets Panam and quickly becomes friends with her. She was a little interested at first but Panam was not. V respected that and did not persist, but they did become very close friends. V eventually meets Judy as well, and while they started off a little rocky, she ends up liking her and eventually they start a relationship. But having that conversation with Judy at the lake about Judy wanting to leave Night City really gets V thinking. But she carries on. Blah blah blah, story stuff, she becomes close to Johnny as well, but eventually I had it in my head that V really loves Judy as a partner and really loves Panam as her best friend so why not live out the rest of her life traveling with the Aldecaldos? She can leave her merc life in Night City and start fresh with her newfound family, best friend, and life partner.

And what do you fucking know, this is actually possible as an ending lmfao. I only just read the endings right after finishing my playthrough and this will be my ultimate goal the next time I play this V in my....prob 3 or 4 playthrough by then.

anyway, enough story. time for gameplay.

so I usually do stealth builds in these types of games. I chose to go with a stealthy throwing knife build (very fun!) after deciding pistols and bladed weapons that aren't knives weren't really for me this time around. I haven't played a ton of stealth-based games, but generally what I've noticed is that they tend to give you routes/pathways to follow if you pay enough attention. like NPCs will have predefined walking routes, the environment will have certain openings/paths available to navigate and either avoid or kill incapacitate these enemies quickly and quietly. I don't feel like I got that sense in this game here? I dunno if it was poor stealth design, but I do think it was this:

this game really REALLY wants you to utilize a cyberdeck, it feels like. interacting with the environment, whether it's creating distractions or blinding enemies or whatever, seems to be the goal with really working with stealth. I can't say that I hate it, esp since that's a part of the game world, but sometimes doing stealth feels more difficult than it should be because of this perceived expectation to...create your own routes and pathways so to speak. the last like...10-15 hours of my playthrough, I ditched the cyberdeck and went with a sandevistan but had invisibillity cloaking to make up for the lack of a deck. still fun but it did feel like I was using cloaking as a crutch to get out of LOS when spotted lol.

I have no opinions on guns and gunplay in this game as I haven't use them yet, but I'm sure I'll have thoughts for 2.0.

text messages were really cool lol. I know they are bascially just predefined messages but I still liked that and I loved how you can talk to characters on holo instead of visiting them in person. idk I'm a sucker for stuff like this.

the perk system is not great, I oftentimes felt confused on what perks to even get because a lot of them were underwhelming and felt more like Fallout 3's "numbers go up" options. the overhaul 2.0 patch will apparently give us more options to play with in terms of changing gameplay so I am hoping the changes will be reminiscent of going from Fallout 3 -> New Vegas in perk style.

Cyberware is great and this is where I feel the game really opens up in playstyle compared to the perks. I'm happy to see this is being extended and armor will be tied to cyberware instead of clothing in 2.0.

vehicles are cool. I like the variety in them but I feel like there could be more. additionally there's so many of them available for free that it almost makes no sense to buy them unless you're just doing completionist stuff. the handling is fucking awful and I hope that improves in the patch.

Night City is absolutely fucking gorgeous in a dirty and grungy kinda way. I've lived in a major city for most of my life and it def gave me that....really raw inner-city feel with people walking fucking everywhere, cars that nearly won't stop til they hit you, stores and shit everywhere, gang members hanging out on the corner or in front of stores, police stopping someone for questioning, etc. I just love it. a lot of it is window dressing. you can't go into like 99.99% of the stores and whatnot in the game. that might bother some folks, and that's understandable, but I'm completely fine that it's all for show. It helps the atmosphere.

I suppose I could talk about how well this game presents the genre as a whole but...I can't. I don't have the background history and knowledge of the IP itself or the genre to really talk about it in detail. If this game comes across as "baby's first cyberpunk experience" or doesn't go too hard in the punk direction then....fine, I guess? Whatever? I still enjoyed it lol. I would like to experience more cyberpunk as my experience so far has been limited to Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", and Blade Runner. But yeah I'm not an expert here so I mainly just wanted to talk about the gameplay and presentation.

anyway I think that's about all to talk about really. this was more just...stream of consciousness and rambling than anything lol. I had a really awesome time with the game and thought, despite the shitty launch and character creation thing about gender, that it's def worth checking out. can't wait for the DLC and 2.0 update because I will likely eventually talk about stuff that may or may not have changed. this is gonna be the game I focus on heavily for the next few months until I get sick of it. then I might start exploring with mods.

[head---ache]

Fred dating reader and them going star gazing for there anniversary

pairing: fred weasley x reader (gender neutral)

warnings: none !!

navigation | masterlist

“Can I look already?” you asked Fred as he held his hands over your eyes and guided you clumsily to wherever you may be going with your feed on top of his. The only thing you were certain of was that you were outside, relishing the chilly night breeze on your face while listening to the birds sing their lullaby before going to bed.

“Almost…. aaaand, yes, now you can” he said as he slowly removed his hands from your face, your eyes adjusting to the moonlight that illuminated the two of you. The first thing you noticed was that you were standing in a field, nothing but trees and grass surrounding you and a breathtaking view of the beautiful landscape. At your feet was a blanket on the ground, encircled by heart-shaped candles and sweets like muffins and chocolate frogs.

“Fred, this looks beautiful!” you cheerfully exclaimed as your eyes remained affixed to the breathtaking sight in front of you, “happy anniversary, sweetheart” he picked you up and swung you around before the two of you lay down, gazing up at the sparkling stars above you.

“Y/n, I know I don’t say this enough but... I am so happy to call you mine. I love you and I can’t wait for even more anniversaries in the future. I mean, if you can handle staying with me for that long. I, for sure, could not” he joked as you chuckled softly as your eyes began to well up with tears. He wrapped his arm around you and embraced you tightly while placing soft kisses on your head and stroking your hair.

God, you truly felt like the luckiest person in the entire world.

comments and reblogs are highly appreciated !! <3

character hcs for des and saren you know i gotta ask

I'd expect nothing else at this point and like fair warning you're the one who's inspired a good portion of my hcs for both these dramatic little tarts soooo

Sexuality Headcanon: DESOLAS: Bisexual, in the very turian 'why should i give a fuck about gender we're both here and consenting to have fun' way SAREN: Demi, actually! In my verses, Saren honestly wasn't big on anything sexual nor interested in dating until Nihlus came on scene and then after some time as friends, it was like "oh. oh". Yeah that was a big revelation for him 😂 Gender Headcanon: i think it's fair to say that for both of them, they're cis given that their consideration of gender hasn't gone beyond 'i'm comfortable with my assigned-at-birth gender and associated pronouns' A ship I have with said character: DESOLAS: i mean, i'm assuming desabrudas is a given, naturally, but failing that look, letting him and adrien victus fuck nasty sounds hilarious. Is it hatesex or is it just an excess of competitiveness they need to work out before anyone can stand to be around the pair of them/ who knows, they sure don't! SAREN: Kryterius aside, because that's a given. Castis/Saren has, despite my best efforts, consumed too much of my thoughts to no longer exist outside of crack discussion so... let's just go with that. A BROTP I have with said character: DESOLAS: (DEEP BREATH) he and Pallin served together at some point before the latter was injured and made the move to c-sec. Yes, he sometimes gets shitty messages telling him what his brother's been up to on the Citadel, no it's not sometimes the funniest fucking thing ever, no, no way, why say that? Venny is the 10/10 perfect grumpy friend to tease and get drinks with when they're in the same place at the same time.

SAREN: look we made it this far, you know what was coming - Avitus. No, he didn't go out expecting to end up with a friend when he started student shopping but, alas, this dumb varren is cling as fuck and won't leave him alone. Aaaand after a while, he's forced to realise that they are, in fact, friends. Goddamnit why this one? (It's because he's a great friend to have, loyal and great at balancing being amusingly annoying without being stressful to spend time with.) A NOTP I have with said character: DESOLAS: honestly, I haven't seen any ships for him that I don't like, whether that's just because I'm immensely lucky to have missed it or because people with bad opinions haven't touched him, I'm not sure, but there we have it lmao SAREN: Shepard, Benezia, basically any non-turian character in canon. Idk what part of prickly xenophobe the fandom doesn't get but just. No. A random headcanon: (going with no-reapers crustyverse here) DESOLAS: A month before the birth of his daughter, he hands in his resignation and leaves, middle fingers raised, to be a very comfortable stay-at-home-dad. (Nearly) everyone says he'll be bored within the year, he laughs in their faces and loves every second of raising his (feral) child. Really, given how he most-of-the-way raised saren, everyone should have seen that coming. Just because he's older doesn't mean he's any saner. SAREN: This bitch has an unhealthy addiction to being squished into not being able to think or breathe. Multiple weighted blankets, thick duvets and, in the later years, Nihlus. The more crushed he is, the more comfortable he is actually. General Opinion over said character: (Holds both of them very close, squishes them until they suffocate) wonderful baby bastards, dramatic tarts, I wanna chew on them.
