YEAH DARKSHIP IS WHAT I MEANT my bad. Annyways I'd say your OC's count sooo do you have any darkship OC's you'd like to rant about?

.....👀

Cygnus <3

He's only in two relationships throughout the parts of his story I've got fully fleshed out (at least, only two semi-long-term ones... who knows what he got himself into while he was running through different dimensions). And both of them are... well. Have various factors that antis wouldn't approve of. So allow me to talk about it.

Warning: discussions of Sex Stuff below (nothing detailed just It Is Mentioned) also specifically like... werewolf/human + selfcest relationships, click off if it's not your thing, have fun if it is 👍

First relationship is with his werewolf girlfriend (she doesn't have a name yet, I am open to suggestions).

She transforms with the moon cycles, and retains at least some awareness the entire time (loses the most at the very peak of bark's transformation, where it still has emotional memory but isn't really able to think like a person... so she's basically a dog). Bark's into petplay stuff, especially when it's midway through its transformation and looks like a wolf but still has most of her ability to think like a person. So just imagine woman who looks like a dog doing a semi sexually charged Dog Roleplay with. Guy who isn't entirely into it but is willing to play along since he knows bark is.

They never actually had sex while she was in wolf form (Cygnus wasn't comfortable with the idea & she didn't want to push for it) but it absolutely did with several other partners of hers in the future (it's asexual, but enjoys having sex as a social bonding thing & just for fun).

Second relationship is with himself!

I've explained before but this needs context, so. There was an incident with a portal. The timeline Cygnus existed in got split into two, then those two merged again as quickly as it had happened - not without causing a very serious issue, of course. Because Uh?? There's Fucken. Two Of Him Now???

The timeline split into two at the point where Cygnus came very close to getting caught in a portal... and then didn't. And did. The timeline branched off, creating "timeline where Cygnus did get sucked into another dimension" and "timeline where he didn't." And that should have been the end of it. Two timelines, running parallel but separate. But nothing ever goes how it should. Instead, one timeline collapsed in on the other, merging them into one again - except the point where Cygnus went through the portal already happened. As did the point where he didn't. And now both of those events have been smushed into one timeline, meaning that both the Cygnus who went through the portal and the Cygnus who didn't are running around in the same timeline¹.

It takes portal'd Cygnus ten years to find his way back to his original timeline/dimension. Only ten months had passed for everyone there. So, when he gets back, he's come face-to-face with a much younger version of himself - who is not supposed to be there².

It takes everyone... a while to adjust. But when they do, the two of him are very close.

The older (portal'd) Cygnus attempts to form a sort of parent/child bond with his younger self at first - and the other one says Fuck That, You're Hot and also You're Me so stop trying to be my dad, that's stupid. I'm gonna kiss you on the lips now. And the older one, while surprised, is... not opposed, he realises. Didn't take him long to connect the fact that he was trying to form some sort of protective relationship with his younger self in order to avoid the other kinds of feelings he had, but... once he realises those feelings are shared, he tosses that out the window.

And at that point they form... a relationship of some sort? Neither one really wants to label it with regular terms, because really it was formed out of the complex feelings from Being The Same Guy + Being Autosexual. That being said, irregular terms didn't seem to work either. So they just labeled it as. Something. They're Something.

¹Sort of. The Cygnus who went through the portal is actually in a world between timelines, but... it's complicated. His "home timeline" is still, officially, the one that the other Cygnus is also in.

²In most situations, there being two of him would be a sign that he was in the wrong dimension. There weren't two of him when he left, there shouldn't be two now. But this dimension is his. And there are two of him. So... something isn't right.

We need that Goldia x Lisette analysis and we need it NOW /LH

Now there's a couple I'm invested in.

(Spoilers for Pocket Mirror)

There's a page on tvtropes that goes more into the homoeroticism of this game. It may seem silly to put it this way, but considering the MC only gets close with female characters, holds their hands, and reacts to the one male character with confusion… yeah.

I headcanon Goldia as someone who loves everyone platonically, but I can see her being gay as well. The scene where she's sitting with Enjel on the moon feels like a romantic outing, for instance. Whether this counts as selfcest (as that page puts it) is hard to say, since the girls are technically reflections of her. We can consider them entirely different people, or rather alters who fronted as her disorders worsened.

When Goldia reaches Lisette's level, she's only heard about the latter or seen glimpses. You get the sense that she knows what to expect at that point in the game, but is at her most terrified. Then Goldia meets this disheveled-looking, unstable teenager with wild hair and scissors, who chased her through a mirror maze just before she met Harpae, and has now kidnapped her. Specifically the girl Harpae warned her about. Anyone would be scared.

But Lisette is more terrified than Goldia, even if she doesn't show it. When you live with mental illnesses, you live in a constant state of anxiety and sadness. And she is the embodiment of Goldia's loneliness, fear, and rage, blamed for everything that her host did in the past. In the real world, individuals who suffer from depression tend to hide it, pretending nothing is wrong, but they internalize every bad thing that happens to them. It gets exhausting to deal with these fluctuating emotions everyday, to an extent where you wish you couldn't feel anything at all, or want to die if it means the pain will stop. That's part of the reason why Lisette turns out to be introverted, speaking only in short sentences. She never really wanted to hurt anyone, but couldn't stop thinking of targeting those who wronged her, so she cast parts of herself away into mirrors, forcing them to emerge as disturbed, vengeful clones. The most lucid clone is the one we first encounter, who shows anger without hiding it and doesn't mince words.

So when the person who put her through the wringer suddenly shows up in a realm that's meant to be a safe space, Lisette is understandably furious. To her, Goldia is playing innocent and acting like she doesn't know what happened between them. None of this excuses her actions, of course, especially given that the protagonist has lost her memories- Lisette is effectively terrorizing a scared thirteen-year-old girl with amnesia.

But it all comes down to obtaining the pocket mirror. That goal is something I've always found interesting, in terms of character. She seems to know more than anyone else, acknowledging who the Strange Boy is and leaving notes around that express her desire to shatter Goldia's compact, which would effectively bring the world to an end. This awareness appears to be something Lisette hates. During the scene where she's wrapped up in chains, she outright calls the contract Elise made with the Strange Boy a "curse", which for all intents and purposes… it is. Elise's actions indirectly caused her suffering, and she can't take it anymore.

Fortunately, Goldia acknowledges her wrongdoings, promising to make up for them. She meets the real Lisette afterward, who is lying in a grave on the verge of death. Goldia apologizes again and comforts her, saying that she loves Lisette as much as the others. This brings them both closure. In one of the bonus rooms, Goldia continues to visit the hilltop overlooking Vienna.

Their relationship would be codependent to a bigger extent. More on Lisette's side, as she is someone who needs a partner that can care for her, and take her needs seriously. Someone who wouldn't leave in the event she has a breakdown. Goldia definitely could provide this, being a caring person in general. She'd pick up after Lisette and clean the mirror realm without complaint. Not everything would be fixed, though. There would still be tension between them due to their history. A lot of fights. Lisette probably wouldn't get along with Fleta, Harpae, or Egliette, even if Goldia wanted them all to make up.

Regardless: I think Lisette believes she's too broken to be friends with others, but they'd be happy together in spite of the difficulties they face.

Time-Travel Selfcest AU again

Ajhdsjdhak huge thanks to @silverwashi for giving me so many thoughts. I gotta get them out before I forget everything ajdsakj 😭😭

I like the idea of the time loop so much omg.

Nico, who has been antagonized and thus strayed away from the light and into a much darker past, travels to the past, befriends his younger self while antagonizing everyone else, ends up defeated - but not without planting a seed of darkness inside said younger self, so that the loop would go on and on forever.

Brilliant. I could kill for this.

What I love even more though - is that the reason Nico becomes bad in the first place is people's antagonization towards him.

Talking in an AU here. Let's say he is feared, betrayed, and nearly killed due to said fear. But he isn't killed. He survived, and those fears become real because Nico has had enough of being mistreated for nothing.

When people are scared of you and it makes you become the very thing they're scared of. Peak villainy. Completely pure - because you did nothing but it turns out this way anyway - inevitable, and beautiful. Embrace the villain in you ok that's just my evil self talking

Nico can't fight everyone tho. Even a god can't, and Nico is just so much of a lonely boy. So he ends up defeated, banished, exiled - gone - anyway.

But children of Hades are vengeful things, aren't they? So, let's just say, Nico is banished to the very place of another enemy of the gods - one who had turned his back on his father, on the gods, and become the one thing they fear so much once.

Luke. And Kronos. *SCREAMS* 😭✨🥳🥳🥰🤩😇🥳🥰😭 OMG I LOVE LUKE ajshdjakd

And so he 'returns'.

Nico (now will be referred to as Future Nico) reaches the past. And he sees everything with retribution in his eyes. He remembers what they did to him in his life.

And so he plans to show Past Nico just that.

I have yet to figure out how he does it though - I would have to reread the whole PJO thing for that, and no, I don't have that kind of patience and willpower.

BUT let's just say Future Nico pities his younger self the same way he feels betrayed, abandoned, and lost. The suffering Past Nico is going thru at that time fuels his vengeance. It's love, in a way, and he shows P-Nico just that: love, compassion, reassurance, I'm sorry we have to go through all of that...

And at the same time, he gaslights him into thinking his sacrifice is worthless, that We did all of this, for what?, that We don't deserve to be misery like this. You don't deserve to be miserable like this.

Past Nico would hardly believe him, of course, but a seed of doubt is all Future Nico needs.

When everything's said and done though, Future Nico's ill intentions are all revealed. And Past Nico goes through the whole self-doubt I has mentioned.

My favorite of this part - when people realize Future Nico is an enemy - is this quote I've just come up with like 20 mins prior, of F-Nico to everyone who fights him:

"I'm not future Nico. I'm the Nico that you have forced into being."

He's defeated, of course. But that's okay. He saw it coming, and he has already achieved what he came for - to reach the Past Nico, his younger, still innocent, still defenseless version. And when he dies, he looks at Past Nico with all the pity he can gather for himself.

I just want to note that I'm talking with the love Future Nico has for his younger self in mind. I have... very distorted definition of love when it comes to fiction, but I'm building this on the foundation that Nico loves his younger self - whatever kind of love that is.

Why else would he travel to the past to warn Past Nico about the inevitable betrayal? Only because of a grudge?

No, he loves him - loves himself, and loves every Nico he has once been.

This might be fueled by vengeance, but it's also the mercy Nico has for himself.

The threat isn't gone. And it would never be gone. As @silverwashi has offered.

Because it's now that the gods and the friends realize how powerful Nico is. How dangerous he is. How much of a threat he is when he so much as strays.

I mean, his Older self literally tried to destroy them - of course Nico's a threat.

So they decide to betray him before he can betray them. They see him as an enemy, antagonizing him, and later attempt to eliminate them. The seed sprouts and thrives. The green tree flourishes.

"He was right, this is all my future would always become."

Nico grows into the very thing they try to destroy, to eliminate before it comes. His mature, desperate, revengeful, vicious self.

And the loop repeats.

I just want to say that I love the way there's no actual beginning point of this. It's a loop. It doesn't need a starting point. The Future becomes the Past, and the Past becomes the Future once more. It feels like there's no way out, and they're trapped forever.

Now, let's talk about how we can break the loops.

I think the key would be Hades. The key - not the one who holds the key, mind you.

Because he would be the first to understand Nico's stray. He had been there, and Nico was the one who pulled him out when the kid convinced him to give the Olympians a chance.

And for that, he would be the last to lose his love for Nico. When Percy, Jason, and everyone for that matter, realize Nico's ill intentions and try to defeat him, Hades would be the last - if ever - to point a weapon at Nico's face and further his descent into darkness.

Hades is the Lord of the Underworld, closest to Tartarus, closest to Chaos - to everything I can just grip at for the Time Travel logic of this Greek Myth work. Which means that he would be the first to see through this whole time-loop thing - without actual revelation from Future Nico himself.

So yeah, I think the choice would be in Hades' hand.

If he keeps allowing his son to stray, to dive deeper and deeper until there's no way out, to plant the evil seed and water it with his death - then the time loop repeats itself.

If he chooses to stop it, however, he would stop Nico's death - since his death means only repeating cycles - and puts an end to the grudge he holds.

With that being said, Hades has to make sure the Nico of this loop - Past/Present/whatever - is safe, too.

Hades has to save both versions of the child he loves so much. I honestly have no idea how this would turn out, but I imagine it along the line that in the last loop, Hades finally gets people to stop antagonizing Nico, and Future Nico himself has to tell Present Nico to not hold onto the grudge, and that he mustn't stray as he did.

Because as it turns out, the one who decides is Nico and Nico alone. Hades plays the role of a key, but Nico himself has to get rid of these loops. He himself must be the one to dig the way out. Not only his Present, but his Future/Past must as well.

I suppose there is no... actual happy ending for this AU, ngl. The most preferable ending perhaps would be people realizing their self-destructing countermeasures and just... leaving Nico alone. Then the loop would stop. HOWEVER, I dislike the gods and the cast on principle so I say they never do. So for as long as Nico still exists, the loop goes on.

There might be a true ending tho, wherein maybe Nico has to die forever to prove his loyalty to the paranoid people, or maybe he just... vanishes. disappears from reality and people's memories alike. just dust into the flow of time, with only Hades as a mourner.

Bc obviously, I don't intend this AU to be moral. I just want angst. And selfcest. Who cares at this point bc i certainly don't.

Wow this AU is such a delight. I'm alone and I'm having the time of my life. I'd probably come up with something new once in every while later LOLOL.

[find-me-in-hell]

The Doctor Falls is a good episode, as is World Enough and Time, both for a while multitude of reasons but the Missy and Master scenes are so much fun. Another analysis in which I end up talking about Missy too much. Again.

The haziness here is due to them crossing timelines. I also like how Missy goes 'Am I a woman now?' Because 13 says almost the exact same thing.

Also, the selfcest, as weird as it is. Makes some kind of sense considering its THE MASTER we're talking about here.

I do like Missy acting as if shes on the Masters side, because it is an act. But because the Master is there, well he'd be disgusted that she sided with him, which we do know he is. Because he kills her.

I can't do a post on the Master and Missy in the Doctor Falls without mentioning the absolute gem that is this scene.

Momentary sidetrack:

Bill seeing herself in the mirror and realising what she's become is such a sad scene. Because she didn't just die she was ripped apart and reconstructed in a metal casing and her mind hid and protected her from that. A textbook trauma response. Not wanting to see the damage, the ways you've changed because of what happened.

Getting angry because she can't be angry anymore. Why can't she be angry after all that's happened? Grant her anger at least. She can't have anything else so let her be angry.

And The Pilot (Heather) acting as her tears is so meaningful. Being stripped of emotion but Heather has given her the ability to cry, despite everything. The most impossible thing.

Sorry. I love Bill so much. Her fate saddens me in a way no other companion has.

Getting back on track.

The Master is clearly shocked(?) at the fact that Missy cares because the Master wouldn't, didn't care at all. Didn't care for Bill nor the hundreds of other people who died.

This scene is nice too. Foreshadowing even. I can't remember if Jodie was announced as 13 when this aired but it's a sweet comment.

Can't forget this scene either. Every part of its funny to be honest.

'I don't remember much about her' Again due to the timelines crossing. Of course the Master is aroused by this. (I mean, if a scarily hot woman did that to me I'd be no different...) The Master is absolutely the kind of guy who would do this which as weird as it is, it being written into his character, makes sense.

Every meta style post I do ends up circling back to Missy being better than her past selves. Which I'm not sorry for.

She only goes with The Master, because he is there and to not dissapoint him in a sense. Simm!Master doesn't see himself as being able to change.

This scene is very important too.

Missy misses beong the Master, because with regeneration everything is rewritten. Personality is part of that. We see that with the Doctor too.

I truly believe that Missy wanted to be better, not good just better. Even just that is okay. She is old, to change to be fully good would take centuries.

So she kills The Master to hurry that up just a bit. At least thats how I see it.

By the Doctors side is where they've been heading all this time. Sure Missy could've just injured him to teach him a lesson but she kills him to stop him. Again, thats just how I see it.

The Master has different plans. He kills her in return. Why would he stand with the Doctor? Why would he change? etc. Missy dies there and that is the end.

As we know The Master always comes back. Whether it is as Dhawan's incarnation or otherwise. That is up to interpretation. From what I recall, Dhawan's incarnation makes no mention of that death, which yes does make sense due to the timelines crossing. But he doesn't make any mention of the vault or any events that occurred during Gomez's incarnation. Which I think is important, though could just be Chibnall's writing.

Overall, The Doctor Falls is a very interesting episode for both The Master and Missy.

I remember you being do against sylki and now you're shipping marc and steven? you only wanted lokius to be end game 🙄

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

No jk, I do have an answer for this

1. I am not against Sylki, I'm just mad about how the show handled it. All negatives feelings I have to them is connected to the show's poor (or lack of) representation of bisexual and gender fluid people. They mistook gender fluid for genderbend and their promise of Loki having a female and male love interest was just a joke about selfcest (EDIT: I was mistaken on this part,they did not promise that,it was a rumour). As a bisexual and gender fluid person, I felt hurt by it and can't help feeling bitter when I think of it.

But the ship itself? I could not care less about selfcest, if you've been through my blog you'd know I ship weird shit too, like, I dare say weirder. I could never be against a ship or people shipping them because it goes against what I stand for, even if it's my NOTP, it is not my business what people ship and I expect people to reciprocate.

2. I understand the comparisons between Sylki and MarcSteven because I thought of them as the same at first, which is why I didn't want to ship it at first. Because I didn't know anything about DID I thought of them as the same person and considered it selfcest. But I did some research and talked to a few people with DID and turns out I was wrong. Marc and Steven are not the same person, and it is possible for people to develop romantic relationships with alters. If it should be compared to another ship, we could use Symbrock as example, two individuals on the same body. So I gave the ship a chance and I went from finding it weird/possibly offensive to cute, so yes, I ship them now. I think you're allowed to dislike it, but please don't go around calling it selfcest without doing research about it

3. Yes, of course I wanted Lokius to be endgame, the chemistry the representation everything was there and I hated the direction they took, but that has nothing to do with how I feel about Sylki, I have made it clear that while I hated what happened I was happy for the shippers that won, like I said, ship and let ship, I don't care.

Tl; Dr: I'm not against Sylki, MarcSteven is not selfcest (it's not even problematic), alters can date each other, Lokius should have been endgame but since when do we care about canon

[androgynousblackbox]

have you seen the latest RaM episode? I was hoping to see if you had any thoughts about it! I really liked the exploration and the going off the gotdamb rails with the decoys. Also that scene with rick just. dick out and making morty peek at his ass for No actual reason sndhs

Don't forget the fact that his family didn't questioned for a single second that it should be MORTY the one to look into Rick's ass, like there was never anyone else but Morty who should be do it. It was gross, sure, but also such a... "guys would be guys" moment but not in the violent/toxic way but on the silly and unnecesary way, you know? Like Morty called it "punishment" and, sure, nobody wants to be farted into their face, but I can see Rick pulling a similar move on just any friend he feels like pranking to and, on a way, that was kinda wholesome. Okay, so I am going to pour my thoughts about this and the other episode as I usually do here so bear with me: -The fact that Summer IMMEDIATELY picked on what could go wrong about the whole decoy thing, and Rick has to aknowledge that Summer was smarter than this on this regard. This to me is talking again about how Summer IS actually smarter, emotional and socially wise (meaning with interelationships at least), that she could tell that if one Rick thinking he is not a decoy was going to make decoys then of course other Ricks would have the same idea. But Rick never saw this coming because he was only thinking of the decoys as instruments to be used and disposed, even as he was giving them actual personalities and filled their memories with real ones. He never considered they could go on to make their own because, well, they are not This Rick and this Rick is the smartest man in the universe, the guy that unironically think himself to be god, so OBVOUSLY think only HE would be capable of pulling that off. -The fact the immediately after a Rick wins while proclaiming himself "not a man, I am god!" only to be killed by what is essentially JUST A TOY, some little creature that was MEANT to be killed but got pissed when nobody did it. A literal "god" got eliminated for something fucking mundane that didn't even had to do with the main conflict. He doesn't even understand WHY this little dude just killed him, he died with uncertainty, and if that isn't the most human experience ever then I don't know. -With this episode and the first one, I HOPE this season is going to be about desconstructing Rick thinking himself above anything else. I said this before, but I don't trust fans who truly believe Rick is entitled to do anything he wants and be shitty with everyone because he is smart. It seems to be like these two episode literally adressed that kind of attitude by putting Rick on situations where not even he can get out of and revealing he is, in fact, still just a flawed human being. A major criticism that many people have levered against the show is that yes, we know Rick is sad and miserable, but the show still goes out of it's way to keep making him win on anything he wants (most of the time at least) and thus is signaling to the audience the idea that he is always right, that he should be always right, because he has the power to do anything he wants. The very first episode start with Rick about to fucking die with all his regrets ("I am a silly man, a silly old man") and then he is saved BY MORTY. If it wasn't because of Morty being there that would be it, they both would be gone. -The previous season was already descontructing Rick as the patriarch of the house and show how nobody "needs him" on the same way they needed him on the first season. The only character you could argue still gives a fuck about Rick's approval/recognition is Summer, but even then Summer was never submissive and passive like Season One Morty was to Rick, instantly believing anything he said. Plus, we all know that Rick COULD take Summer on all his adventures and she would never complain about it because she doesn't give a fuck about school anyway. But he still insist on taking Morty instead, despite his protests, because he just likes Morty better than Summer and he does not take well with Morty not relying on him. I don't fucking buy the whole "cancelling brain waves" excuse anymore because, come on, there is a million ways in which Rick could circunvent that problem if he wanted to

but he just prefers keep Morty around. -On the first episode Rick literally says "let me deus ex machina out of here". Deus ex machina literally means the hand of god because in ancient greek mythology many plays would have an element of a literal hand coming from the sky to take the characters out of any problem they are in. And it didn't worked! He needed Mr Nimbus to save them. Because he is not fucking god, and the show is finally showing us concrete evidence of this, while Rick is still the only one with this delusion on his head and this delusion is part of his downfall. The whole second episode is nothing else but Rick's ego fucking him in the ass, literally killing him over and over again. -Beth was GREAT rejoicing on Rick's existential crisis and she fucking deserved that moment, I am glad they gave it to her. -The way so many of the decoys decided to react to knowing they were decoys was so amazing. Like yeah, a majority of them decided to be all "oh no, there can only be one", but many other just off themselves because they couldn't handle not being The Original, insisting to the last moment that they MUST be the original because, well, that is what they think, and then other decoys were just ready to accept death because they had accepted there was no other way. -The only wish of Summer to be on the ocean was... so wholesome? Like it made for a beautiful scene in general, but then they dying hand by hand and just happy to be together, Rick apoligizing to Morty because they couldn't make his wish come true, such a good moment. -The fact that all those Ricks made decoys purely out of a sincere desire to protect his family, it's just great. It was still selfish to basically create life with the only purpose of it being destroyed, but it was motivated as another security measure to protect others, not just himself. -The skin wearing Rick on the swamps talking about "a Rick must provide for his family". Ricks CARE about their family so much. -The puppet Smits were so cute, I loved their voices. -THE MUPPET SMITHS. Even if it was nothing but a costume, it was cute and I want them on Pocket Mortys. -This scene is a Call Me By Your Name reference and nobody tells me otherwise:

As I explained on a server: 1. Italian. The movie happens on Italy. 2. Pool. Many crucial scenes include a pool. 3. Age difference. If they just wanted to imply Morty was flirting they could have used just an older teenager, they didn't need a literal hunk that kinda looks like the older character on the movie. 4. THERE IS FUCKING PEACHES ON THE FOREFRONT. If anyone saw Call me by your name, they know they literally fucked a peach at some point and then the love interest EATS IT ANYWAY. And what does it look like the guy Morty is with is eating? PEACHES. 5. Parents are watching and don't give a fuck. 6. I have decided. -Regardless if it's a reference or not, though, is still pretty fucking gay. -I have seen some fans theorizing that the Smith family we see in the end with Space Beth was our own, and at first I thought so too because they are with Space Beth but then I was... wait a minute, ALL Beth decoys knew there was a Space Beth. They went out of their way to show us this by always having Beth being the one who insisted that no decoy had to die, because she knew what was to feel like a copy. When Rick decided to make another family exactly as his own, he also made HIMSELF expendable and interchangeable. We don't need thirty Smith families, the show only needs one and it doesn't matter which one is it as long is one we can recognize. Why couldn't that have been another decoy family that just so happened to want to do a space trip while all the bullshit was happening? I don't think they are ever going to confirm if this was our original Smith family or don't, just like they won't confirm which Beth is the clone, but I personally think it would be fucking hilarious if they were a decoy and Our Rick just died thinking he was a decoy. -Also the way that Space Beth was just casually putting an arm around Morty made me so happy. Considering that Beth is also the mother who prefered to save Summer over Morty when their lives were in danger, I really like the idea that Space Beth sees how much Morty has grown and is proud of him for becoming a badass himself without Rick's help. That is just my headcanon though, but wouldn't be nice to have SOMEONE appreciate Morty? -Finally, but not less important... Rick knew Morty uses a yosemite shirt in order to cum. This man literally knew about the masturbatory habits of his grandson. Rick went as far on his desire to protect his family he used that knowledge for the decoys. He also told Morty to not fuck his double, which is a nice little reference to Morty literally doing that on the comics but also a subtle way to tell us that Morty is definitely Not Straight because, yeah, I am fucking counting selfcest as a form of queerness because regardless of everything else, that is still two identifying male characters fucking. We only need Beth showing attraction to some female character and the entire Smith family would be officially pan/bi.

RvB16 Episode 4 Review: Sis and Tuc’s S**ellent Adventure

(Old Reblog Post. Also sorry for the censoring, I’m trying t be cautious right now.)

With a title like ‘Sis and Tuc’s S**cellent Adventure”, so I even need to write an introduction? That’s enough of a draw-in! So… yeah, lets just jump into it!

Overview

It’s been a day since the last episode and Tucker has recovered from the blow to his fragile male ego. He agrees to Sister’s plan on banging past people wanting a six-way with the Spice Girls. Sister points out that he’s setting himself too high and eventually it leads back to Tucker insisting that they banged. Sister expands on what she said last episode, about something happening that made them stop. I guess she thought about it more as she says that Tucker thought that someone was watching them and had stopped due to it. To get a clear answer, they decide to go back to Season 5 now that Sister has figured out how the portal gun works.

Back at The Battle of Broken Ridge, the… Red Army I guess? I assume it’s a Red vs Blue battle. Anyways, they’re all dead. Simmons tries to comfort Sarge after his failure to prevent their deaths… that he pretty much caused. And in the afterlife, Church is laughing cause now they are going through what he did. Sarge is upset and blames the failures… on his underlings idiocy. Of course. But is this going to deter Sarge from fixing the past? Hell no! He is going to create essentially a dream time like The Expendables… a movie I’ve never seen, but screw you Sarge! Harrison Ford makes everything better even if he isn’t necessary! Simmons is just left baffled and confused. You think he’d be used to this by now.

Back with Tucker and Sister, they make it back to Season 5 during the final fight with Wyoming. In order to not cause a paradox, they dodge behind rocks to not be seen… and wouldn’t you know it, Tucker finds a sniper rifle! I’m surprised he didn’t make a bigger deal over finally getting the thing (and… how did it get there? I need to rewatch Blood Gulch man). But with it, he spots he moment where past him was talking to Flowers… and I am still is confused on how he came back to life out of nowhere as I was when I watched Season 5. But we do get an explanation on how he died again. Remember the random bullet that show him down? Well turns out that Tucker’s finger was too close to the trigger and… well, you do the math. Seriously, Church must just be laughing his ass off int he afterlife right now. But Tucker knows when he fucks up and decides to stick to the sword.

We now check on Grif and Doc as Grif has figured out how the gun works now. Okay, so everyone knows how the things work, good. Grif, still wanting to avoid the plot, has sent them back to when he was in college and before he… got enlisted? Wait, I thought he was drafted… meh, maybe time has affected his memory or something. My proof? Well the restaurant is now a Calzone and Stormboli restaurant. Grif, confused, tries to ask some kids what the fuck is happening. Also it’s Halloween so that we can justify them wearing Halo armor despite being kids! Ah, you gotta love those kinds of things!

So… as it turns out… Grif and Doc ended up in a timeline where pizza does not exist. Let me repeat that: Pizza does NOT exist… WHAT KIND OF SICK TIMELINE IS THAT?! Grif yells at children before the fact sinks in and… he decides to grenade himself. Sheesh dude, I knwo that a world without pizza is just sick and wrong, but there’s other Italian dishes to consider! Luckily Doc knows the grenade away, saving Grif’s life for the second time… okay I forgive him for last season now. Cause someone needs to take care of Grif while Simmons isn’t there and Doc is fulfilling that, damn it! Doc is able to convince Grif to instead try and cause the invention of pizza to fix it… after trying to convinced him to use it for the greater good. Someone needs to one day explain to Doc what show he’s in, I don’t think he ever figured it out.

Back in Season 5, Sister now has the sniper rifle and they’re now waiting for the ship with Tex, Junior, and Andy to blow up. Tucker uses the time to ash Sister why she tagged along to begin with. Sister explains how, while the convention business has been going well, her personal life has gotten fucked up. TO put it simply, she got involved with a person working with her… who was married to the head of HR. So… yeah that’s a bit of a clusterfuck if there ever was one. She wishes that things could go back to being silly and fun like it used to be, a sentiment that Tucker can relate to. Back in Blood Gulch, it felt like that nothing really mattered and there weren’t really consequences. No? Wash got injured due to his poor leadership and he’s got a lawsuit on him for who knows how many child support payments. It’s… a rather nice, reflective heart-to-heart. We also learn that Tucker’s mother is dead… that’s a bummer.

So the ship explodes, everyone kind of went to do their own thing, and past!Tucker took past!Sister to the caves to shoe her  ‘surprise’. Turns out that Blood Gulch has a lake in the canyon… didn’t know that. Past!Tucker is trying to, of course, initiate having hanky panky time with Sister (and I imagine past!Grif having a ‘I sense a disturbance in the Force’ moment) and… he is awkward and stammering as Hell. It’s kinda cute… I’m gonna laugh at him anyways! HAHAHA! Fortunately past!Sister is more than capable of taking the initiative and it looks like they were indeed going to have see. ALl as their future selves watch in secret. Sister, having a moment of weakness, asks if Tucker wants to go ahead and bang with Tucker… getting too excited and causing last him to hear him. They don’t get caught and cause a paradox thankfully, but it’s enough to cause past!Tucker to call hanky panky time off. So… Tucker totally cockblocked himself… twice… with the same girl… wooooow.

Sister is of course annoyed as they return to Valhalla as well as disappointed in herself for almost banging with Tucker. But hey, she gets a new idea… to go back and bang her past self! No! Sister, selfcest leads to bad things! She goes off and if they had animated this scene, I imagine that Tucker would be kicking himself right now. Literally. But hey, you came close buddy.

Review

This was a laugh riot, OMG. Before we get to the main event, lets talk about the other pairs.

There’s not a lot to say about Sarge and Simmons really. As expected, Sarge caused his own problem and fails to recognize it. IDK if him saying that he’s going to recruit others is going to go anywhere, but it was there. I did like how Simmons was concerned about Sarge’s state after and him continuing to be a dork with having a log (but… it was a science log here and last time it was a star log… does Simmons keep multiple logs?! NERD!) Him just being completely and utterly baffled at how Sarge could jump to the conclusion he made was also hilarious, especially him just weakly returning the ‘hoorahs’. IDK why the mental image of Gus recording that crack me up… but it cracks me up.

There’s a bit more to talk about with Grif and Doc. First, addressing the brief continuity error about Grif claiming to be enlisted. Now him dropping out of college? I can buy that. But in the Fan Guide and I’m fairly sure that Geoff himself said it before, Grif was drafted. Then again he did claim that he signed up willingly back int he very first episode, so… IDK. It’s not that big a deal and it can easily be hand-waved as him just saying that so Doc won’t question him about it or with pizza no longer existing, maybe he did enlist due to time screwing up and his memory adjusted accordingly. So ultimately, unless this is important later and IDT it will be, it’s not that big a deal.

So we continue to see Grif ignoring the problem and trying to get back to the pizza quest. To Doc’s credit, he is trying to get Grif to focus on it, but this being Doc he can’t really force it and IDT hes going to unleash O’Malley if he can help it. Grif yelling at children (and one I’m fairly sure is voiced by Lindsay? Or at least one sounded like Space Kid) about pizza’s existence also had me about ready to burst a guy. I imagine that Geoff blew his voice out after that, but his sacrifice is appreciate if that is the case. Plus hey, he NAILED it. Seriously, sidetracking, but the voice acting has been perfection so far. But yeah, I assume that something is going to happen to force Grif into facing the problem moreso than the others (I imagine whenever they discover Huggins… where is she BTW?) and I worry that since he’s kept Grif from getting killed twice now, something might happen to Doc… but we’ll see!

Okay, onto the main event! The entire S**cellent adventure was a laugh riot, OMG. Honestly just having Sister have some prominent screentime after so long was SO nice. I am loving how Joe is handling her this season. Her and Tucker’s banter was perfection. Them going form bickering to flirting is just hilarious and I am loving it. I wasn’t sure what to expect from them aside form flirting, and so far having the two most horny characters on the show together has been incredibly entertaining.

Their heart to heart was really nice as well. Sister definitely screwed up as far as her personal life is concerned, which makes her wanting to go back to before then understandable. Tucker being able to relate with what happened in S15 when his choices came back to bit him in the ass was also really nice. Especially as he reflects how back during Blood Gulch, it didn’t seem like he had to care. Regardless of what happened, there weren’t any long-term consequences. I’d have to rewatch Blood Gulch to see how much of that is true, but for the most part he’s correct. Back then you could be as stupid as you wanted and it would work out. Even death wasn’t a big deal. Now? Well… it is. It’s not like how it was back then, and seeing Tucker reflect on that was a really good moment for him.

What else can I say? Ugh… well it ended how I expected. The second I saw the title of this episode, I immideatly went ‘they’re gonna go back to find out about the sex thing and it end sup Tucker messed it up, aren’t they?” And I was right! Yay! I didn’t see Sister deciding to indulge in selfcest coming and tbh Tucker handled the revelation better than I thought he would, but still it went as i expected. But at least we have conformation: Tucker and Sister almost did sex, but Tucker thwarted himself. Ain’t that a bitch?

Final Thoughts

This one is definitely meant to be purely a comedic episode. Which is fine since it was hilarious. Tucker and Sister’s back and forths had me giggling and Grif’s mental breakdown at pizza no longer existing had me in stitches. It was good! My only real complaint is I’d have liked some more plot, but I guess it’s better to get the funny time travel antics out of the way first before going forward. Plus hey, it was still funny, so why complain? Overall, that was indeed a s**cellent adventure.

Here’s another fic rec because why the hell not

I posted my first fic rec exactly six months ago, so why not celebrate with another of these? They’re in no particular order (or rather, in the order I read them in, which is very unimportant), please check the ratings and warnings on each of them.

Hey baby, can you bleed like me? by @kyluxtrashpit, 11.5k, E; Kylo is no stranger to being a fuck up, but he never expected to fuck up killing himself. Trapped in a mental health ward with the full belief that there's nothing they can do for him, he finds unexpected solace in his asshole roommate.  Heed the warnings if you get triggered by such topics but oh dear lord, it’s so therapeutic and calming to me? There’s a quite complex, vivid backstory to it and I love it.

Observations on Treachery, In Which The Charge Against Maj. Armitage Hux is Fully Refuted, Written by Himself. by @irisparry, 5.5k, M; The charge against me is a connection with one Luke Skywalker, for the purposes of delivering classified First Order intelligence. My real crime is an amorous connection with his apprentice, for a considerable time while our true identities were concealed.

Major Armitage Hux writes his way out of hell. Hux's hilarious proclamation that he wasn't guilty of selling information to the enemy, because he was busy having sex with Ben. The language alone is wonderful, and Hux's is so spot on convinced of his own brilliance, it's hilarious.

I tell you miserable things after you are asleep by @huxes, 7.5k, T; Hux and Ben are falling apart. Modern AU. They hurt each other so much and yet they keep getting back together, and it's all fucking beautiful. And sad. Not to be read when you're feeling down.

Swipe Right for Slow Burn Regret by @jinxedambitions, 55.5k, WIP, E; Workaholic Hux doesn’t have time for relationships. He barely has time to grade all of his assignments while also ensuring that his students are the highest achieving in the school. When his friend and fellow teacher, Ms. Phasma, suggests he just needs to get laid, he’s skeptical. She decides some no-strings-attached sex is just what he needs, and no better place to find it than the internet. It’s all fine until he accidentally swipes right on Ben “Call me Kylo” Solo, and they’re a match. With more tattoos than teeth and a profile proclaiming him a "seminary dropout," what could possibly go wrong? Hux is certainly going to find out.A romance about awkward dates, bad sex, miscommunication, and finding love despite one’s better judgment. This fic is...messy. They keep trying to have sex, and something always goes wrong. And it’s as frustrating as it is hilarious, but of course there’s the side-dish of them being perfect for each other oh no. A delightful read.

Laeti Vescimur Nos Subacturis by @generallyhuxurious, 69.5k, E; In order to complete his training, Kylo Ren has been absent from the Finalizer for over a year. Hux considers their relationship to have ended as a result of this separation. When he receives his first direct communication from Snoke since the Starkiller debacle, he expects to be informed of Kylo's return and his own impending execution for daring to touch the Supreme Leader apprentice. Sadly, Hux' life is never simple or straightforward. Snoke ships it. Hard. This is a rather lovely fic that I would categorize as a fairy tale with explicit sex, although there's so much more to it. I recommend this fic if you're in need of some good old fluff with a side-dish of humour and a dessert of smut. Best served with a cup of cocoa snuggled in a blanket fort.

Effective Human Copulation: A Perspective by @moonwalkingcrab, 23k, E; Trying to start a new relationship with your hated coworker is hard at the best of times, nevermind when your slightly senile alien boss seems to take it as his personal science project. You've heard of Snoke's fascinating research log, now get ready to hear the story from Kylo and Hux's POV! This is one of the healthiest kyluxes I read, if I may say so. They even go on actual dates, you won't believe it. Truly enjoyable read that works even better if consulted with Snoke's research.

Mr. June by @nerdherderette, 4k, E; A fill for this Kylux hardkinks prompt: The First Order releases an annual spicy pinup calendar featuring stormtroopers, officers, pilots etc. Hux thinks it's stupid until he hears that Ren is going to be featured in it (bonus points if Hux has never seen Kylo without his mask and robes) [excerpt]:A simple loincloth barely covers the outline of his mouth-watering length, his stomach ripples with muscles Hux never knew even existed, and his chest and biceps are deliciously thick.  His hands are enormous and strong—meat hooks that look like they could span Hux’s waist.  A simple gold collar encircles the man’s neck, connected to a thin, gold chain. In short, Mr. June looks like someone who had stepped out of a holoporn, and into Hux’s wet dream. Hot, hilarious and a tad bit cute. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't tell you what the best bit is but trust me, you'll not regret reading this. It has Hux so horny he can't function and there are parts written like a really bad erotica, and I don't know why the cringeworthy words sound so great but they do. A delight. 

Summer by @eralkfang, 2k, E; It still feels like summer outside.Still is summer, technically. But to Hux, summer is home and London and holding himself carefully above the fray, not letting his father’s moods or his mother’s drinking or the people he went to secondary with grab him by the ankle and drag him down. Whereas here, in America, in September, he lets his metaphorical ankles dangle, low enough for American boys to grab at.Although Ben Solo’s the only one who’s managed to grab them and pull him down, like an anchor. Very sweet short College AU smut with nipples and cigarettes and open window and longing. A+ for atmosphere

Ex Machina by sual, 32.5k, E; An AU inspired by Ex Machina where Ben Solo never became Kylo Ren, General Hux is a droid that used to be human, and they might just be what the other needs.Warning for a whole lot of robophilia and cruel and unusual uses for droids. Ben never becomes Kylo, deciding to give his Force training and it's so beautiful. He's friends with Rey and their relationship is so very sweet. And then there's Hux with a marvelous tragic backstory. There’s also a great podfic for it if that’s your thing.

Off Limits by @verybadhedgehog, 4.5k, E; Military man of twinky appearance, previously stereotyped as a bottom, meets annoying xeno-experienced frot evangelist telepath, is persuaded to be less sexually self-denying. Jizz everywhere, job’s a good ‘un.A fill for the Kylux Hard Kinks blog prompt: “For medical reasons Hux can't engage in anal sex but his build always seems to attract guys who expect to fuck him. He's pretty much given up on dating when Kylo is transferred to the Finalizer. Years of interspecies experience has proven to Kylo that there's so much more to sex. Now he just has to bring Hux around to his way of thinking” Hux has given up hope for sex and then Kylo comes and is so considerate and so sweet and so generous. It's about sex, but there's an underlying level of affection and care and it's so beautiful. 

Sunny Side Up by @longstoryshortikilledhim, 7k, M; It was supposed to be a fun chef AU but then things escalated. Chef!AU with so many feelings I can't begin to list them. It's Johanna's impeccable sense of humour mixed up very thoughtfully with drama and I'm here for that. Let it be known I needed three comments to fit all my screaming, so you definitely should go check this out. I really can’t rec this fic enough.

Falling in Reverse by @slashedface, 4k, E;  Hux and Kylo awake in a pitch black cell. They have a choice on how they meet their fate...but not much of a choice. MCD. Kylo and Hux get trapped in a cold small cell and it's just as angsty as you'd expect, with the delicious side meal of regretful late love confessions.

I Write Siths Not Trajedis by xXDarksideXx (I’m sorry, I have no idea who’s behind it lol), 3k, WIP, M; Hi my name is Kylo Ren I'm 1.9m tall and have an eight-pack (I’m shredded). I always wear all black, usually goth robes with a ripped cape that I got from Hoth Topic and I always wear a mask to obscure my face and voice because otherwise everyone would be distracted by my beauty. Original fanfic about my OC Kylo Ren set after the Original Trilogy!!!1 My Immortal kind of fic, that will make you hate yourself for liking silly things. And laugh. No knowledge of My Immortal necessary but it will make it better.

Starfucker by @agent-nemesis, 2k, E; Kylo Ren follows a suspicious noise and finds a secret room. When he makes it inside, he can't quite believe his eyes. Short but very intense porn. Kylo is not nice at all.

Darkest Temptations by @solohux, 4.5k, E; A vision sends Kylo to see a troubled Ben Solo, and things become complicated. Selfcest fic that is surprisingly...eh, spiritual? It's sweet and gentle and hot and dark and it shows the difference between Ben Solo and Kylo Ren and blurs it by accentuating it. I'm not making sense because the feeling is indescribable, you'll have to go read it yourselves.
