#and something theyll grow out of. or something theyll be made to grow out of. i very much think that plays into it too

i know a lot of people like to make fun of young queer people who use a bunch of microlabels and engage in niche or "cringe" aesthetics but im gonna be so honest, i love them so much. i 100% was that kid and while now i don't really use or think about any of the labels i used back then, that doesn't make that time any less valuable and valid (and it doesn't make someone less valid if they do keep using that terminology into their adult life!). queer kids who are figuring themselves out and are learning about new fun words for genders and pronouns and sexualities deserve to run wild and be loud and happy and not carry and be impacted by the shame that many of us have been taught to hold.

my cousin is a year younger than how old i was when i first realized i was queer and they've vaguely known they were queer for a couple years now. personally, i think that's pretty awesome. recently they've gotten into the very stereotypical scene kid aesthetic and i make a point to compliment them on it every time i see them. almost every time i see them they have a new adjustment as to how they view their gender/sexuality and i always tell them that that's really cool and i give them a hug. recently they told me they have a boyfriend and listed like 3 separate labels as to how he defines his gender and i asked them if i was remembering the definitions of all those words correctly (which i was because, like i said, i was that kid lol).

it's just all these small things that seem so trivial or "weird/cringe" that so many people look down on queer kids for engaging in and i'll never understand it. i think it is so unbelievably cool that these people are figuring themselves out and finding new terms and identities and things that they can be and they're just so excited by it. being excited by queerness is cool! wanting to engage in niche subcultures is cool! allowing yourself to be who you are in that moment without the worrying guilt of having to get it "right" is wonderful and awesome and cool and how it should be!! please do not teach the queer kids to be ashamed of themselves in a time where they should be able to run wild and figure out their identities in a way that truly makes them happy!!!!

maybe im overthinking, but do you ever think abt how in episode 1, utena justifies wearing the boys uniform by saying its not against the rules? while this was clearly a "gotcha" moment against that stuffy teacher, i feel like it also shows how shes still functioning within the parameters of the ohtori system. like, yeah, shes being rebellious, but its a form of rebellion that isnt actually revolutionary- shes still following the rules propagating the structure built around the patriarchal prince, shes just doing it in the "opposite" way of whats expected, but shes not actually fighting it. though, of course, even this much deviance still tries to get corrected... its still not against the rules. i feel like from the beginning we're told aspiring to princedom isn't a noble goal, and that utena is still part of the system as long as she pursues it

scaramouche x reader

you and scara are in a long-term relationship, only a couple weeks away from your wedding. to protect your privacy, your agency works hard to keep your personal life out of the media, but while blessed with tremendous acting skills that the entire world praises, outside the set, you can’t lie to save your life, so you avoid scara in public in order to not cause dating allegations. as a result, your fans misunderstand and think you guys hate each other.

established relationship, secret relationship, actors au, one shot, fast pace

warnings: kys jokes, mentions of alcohol, suggestive content

scara, lumine, aether are actors. venti’s a singer and producer. yn’s in both industry and childe is childe!

image 15 references hot ones, written portion after image 20 (the call image), small timeskip after image 27

Your phone emits a soft light, brightening up the dim room. Surprised by the sudden call, your phone vibrates in your hands with Scara’s name flashing on the screen.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“No, don’t worry,” he replies, but the distant crowd you hear from the other side of the screen fuels your doubt. Nevertheless, you feel warmth spread throughout your body, knowing he’d drop everything to keep you company—even on days like this.

You recount your day to him and tell him about your experience on the Hot Ones set, how you basically downed an entire gallon of milk after they shut off the cameras because you could still feel the heat burning your throat. He makes fun of you, of course, laughs when you get mad, and then he starts to tell you about his day.

Eventually, your responses dwindle into soft hums of acknowledgment, content to let him lead the conversation. He tells you about Childe raiding his interview in the morning and somehow making it all about him, Lumine and Aether visiting him on set and bringing the entire crew something to eat, and Venti sending him a demo of his new song.

Soon enough, your eyes start to feel heavy, lulled by the sweet sound of your lover’s voice. Your thoughts drift, and Scara’s voice grows distant until you eventually succumb to sleep.

The other end of the line grows quiet, perfectly in tune with you even when separated by a screen.

Scara smiles to himself before whispering sweet nothings into the steady breathing on the other end of the line—words he would’ve had trouble saying in his younger years, back when he first started dating you.

“Goodnight,” he quietly adds before ending the call, bracing himself to open the door back to the people he’d previously barked at to take a break—waiting for him.

Can I get a follow up on the Adams child ask? Where he takes the little Rockstar for the final battle at the hotel, but when Adam gets killed the kid promises to the cast that theyll be the next exorcist leader when they grow up, they'll learn from their mistakes so it won't happen again and that theyll have their revenge...only its hard to take serious since it's a kid

Let's say reader is around 10

You watched from the sky as you dad got punched to the ground by Lucifer and his daughter.

At first you thought it was something he could recover from, which he did, until you saw a small figure running toward him.

"DAD LOOK OUT!" You warned as you flew down to stop niffty from repeatedly stabbing him.

Lute got to him first and with your help, flipped him over so you could see his face.

You watched in horror and disbelief as he smiled and the light left his eyes.

"Sir... Sir...stay with me, sir... ADAM." Lute cried, but your throat felt to tight to even breathe.

"Take your little friends and GO HOME. please." Lucifer demanded.

Lute grabbed Adams halo and called for the exorcists to retreat, as she stood up she grabbed you hand but you yanked it away.

"NO!" You cried, "

"Y/n we lost Adam is d-"

"SO? WE FUCKING EXORCISTS WHAT GIVES SINNERS THE RIGHT TO KILL US. THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE TO LIVE JUSTLY, WE'RE KEEPING THE BALANCE!"

"Fight about it when your older, short stack. Your to young to be involved with war." Lucifer tried to calm you down but it only made it worse.

"Oh fuck you. Your the reason this is happening in the first place."

"That enough y/n." Lute threw you over her shoulder and started to fly through the portal.

"Mark my words, Charlie. I'll finish what my dad started."

As everyone in hell celebrated their victory you sat alone in your room.... Plotting.

Moon through the zodiac

Aries: Your blunt and it often comes across as insensitive. Yet at the same time people may think your too sensitive. Growing up your household was very busy and or very gossipy. People may question your intentions alot with this placement even if your not doing anything some may still assume your up to no good. Its almost like damn all that assuming you might as well actually do something. The way you express yourself is always being judged and people are always trying to ''correct'' it. Causing you to be anti social, very particular on who you share your personality with or a bully. The way you express yourself is very unique just like your sense of humor you be accidentally funny as hell and thats needed in this world dont give away your power to people and allow them to change you into a dolice version of yourself. Light fire under they ass the way you how to. Anyways I wouldnt be surprised if you daydream about your ideal life alot, careful not to be in your head too much and create unrealistic expectations for yourself or others to uphold. I want yall to stop being so hard on yourself. If nobody else tell yall ima tell you i love how passionately you express yourself. The purpose of your moon being here is for you to learn more about yourself and who you are and how your actions/reactions affect others. Step away from whats familiar and comfortable and dig deep. Listen to your intuition. Have some fucking fun.

Taurus: Its your way or the highway HUH? Your moon chose to be here becasue you are the defender. There will be times were you feel your back is against the wall and you face alot of scrutiny from the world. They may come down on you hard but if you can withstand the pressure you will be rewarded. Willpower and self discipline comes easier for you. You have the tendency to be arrogant, domineering and passive aggressive. A good leader keeps those emotions in check. Yall get stuck in yall ways fr i want yall to put more energy into leaving your comfort zone and taking risk. Slow down smell the roses and enjoy where you are. Dont be all work and no play.

Gemini: Yall love some drama. Somehow always ending up in the middle of some shit. Seeing others as competition even when them ppl not worried about you. You like being the center of attention and dont care if its in a postive or negative light. It works for yall though because popularity comes easy for you. This is one of the most social placements for the moon to be. Your reputation means alot to you and networking is high on your priority list. Its common for yall to feel like you always have to choose between something. It may be hard for you to balance your work life and home life. In friendships and relationships you choose to keep the blindfold on ignoring whats really in front of you, procrastinating to handle your problems just hoping theyll go away on there on. You end up in situations where people are betraying you. With the two sides to gemini its like a secret element to your life. Your no stranger to scandal. I feel for you, this isnt a easy place to have the moon be. You care so much about your relationships with people but yet often have issues with ppl. This couldve stemmed from feeling like you were a target growing up that people always chose to pick with you. Or that you were punished more extremely than others. With this placement you've probably seen or experienced things that really made you question humanity. Dont let those experiences shape the type of person you'll be. You gotta learn to let shit go and not be bitter or have a victim mentality. Be careful not to burn yourself out. Drowning yourself in work to ignore your feelings. You dont always have to do everything on your own... collaborating is just as rewarding i promise. It would be beneficial to learn how to except help, knowing when to back down and not being so critical of yourself.

Cancer: If they dont appreciate everything you do FCK EM. No but fr with moon here you may feel like people overlook the things you do for them. Cancer moons can be way to stubborn and stand in there on way because of the fear of change. Repeating the same lessons way more than they should have to. When your redirect your energy to new experiences and growth your determination and passion unmatched. This is type of person you want to have on your team they bring so much positive energy and comfort.

Leo: Main character syndrome AF lol Unnecessarily rebellious at times growing up you may have felt your parents were controlling on how you expressed your creativity or because of the way you grew up you express your creativity in a rebellious way in relation to your family. Your career could be taboo. I could see a lot of onlyfans stars having moon in leo. Success in career comes more natural for you because of your consistency and ambitious nature. Yall really find pleasure in chasing money. Dont get so carried away with fulfilling your material desires that you dont leave time for introspection and searching for who you really are away from the titles.

Virgo: How does it feel to be kids favorite? A happy home life is important for this placement. Theres an innate need to belong. You love parties, holidays and kids ofc. Hosting parties and having a full house will give you happiness. Where this placement gets stuck is not being able to let go of the past. Getting sucked into the loophole of self pity and regret. Focus your attention on what you can do and what you can change. You work better with other ppl there to bounce ideas off of. Let your gaurd down, Succuss is reached quicker for you when you collaborate. Having this placement is testing your ability to strengthen your willpower and resourcefulness. Once you can do that you'll manifest way easier. Careful not to live beyond your means. Dont let desires put you in debt. Trust your intution, take the first step and take the risk. You go be perfectly fine.

Libra: Your love language is def quality time and acts of service this is very important for this placement to feel loved. Yall thrive in group settings and really value friendships. Even if you dont talk that much it makes you feel better to be around others. If you want to get with a Libra moon the best way is to become their friend first. You may have a tendency to put yourself in drama and create chaos among your inner circle though lil messy ass. Always wanting to be right, when this placement is in its lower natures is a good example of the native american folklore of the hunter that stuck a blood coated blade in ice knowing the wolf couldnt resist. It licked the blade continuously not realizing it was slowing bleeding out. The only way for the wolf to survive is to acknowledge its self destructive behavior. Bottom line just because you can ignore something doesnt mean others are going to do the same. Just becasue it didnt effect you doesnt mean it didnt effect them. Make the effort to listen to understand not listen to respond. Your words matter use them responsibly and take breaks from people or things when you feel you need to, your mental health will thank you.

Scorpio: Transformation happens with this placement alot. Moments of feeling isolated or depressed may be brought on by extreme emotional shifts. Anxiety and fear is no stranger to the scorpio moon. It can be to the point of really debilitating you. You've experienced things you've kept to yourself or have repressed but the issue continues to reappear time after time like a broken record. If it hasnt been dealt with it way on you really heavy and appear in your dreams often. You've felt shame, not understanding how you couldve allowed yourself to be in that predicament in the first place but seriously bro shit happens. It can be hard to maintain emotional balance with moon in scorpio, so its essential to have methods to release your emotions in healthy ways. Careful not to become bitter or victimizing with things dont go the way your controlling ass intends. Vengeance doesnt work well for you it often backfires, you'll try to set somebody house on fire and you burn yourself in the process. You may feel that people often oppose for no reason that you have to go through power struggles to be heard or to get the things you want. You may second guess opening up and are critical of yourself and others but opening yourself up to the world will be one of the best things you can do for your relationships and career. Your maturity and originality is threatening. Express yourself in your full nature and make people adapt to you not the other way around. You have authoritarian energy and if your putting yourself out there which ik you are, yr often mistaken for the boss. That is if your not already the boss. Im sure your that your the boss. Mwahahaha. Your demeanor comes across as serious and strict. Ppl naturally think let me not play with them. Your standards are high for yourself and your partner. You wouldnt be with somebody who doesnt match up to your standard. You need to feel like the person you’re with is equally as respected as you in any room you walk in.

Sagittarius: Im sure you believe you were meant to be famous. Sagittarius moons are very charismatic and great negotiators with a very convincing personality they are great at creating solutions quickly. So ofc that makes its very easy for them to make friends. In relationships they attract and are attracted to more dominate personalities. Loving the idea of love but really being in denial about that. Def gives player vibes they have flirtatious ass whore ways lmao. If you cheating ik you not even finna try hard to hide it. Easily bored they will chase thrills lowkey in a running from your problems type of way. Where sag moons can grow is appreciating the value they bring and not feeling the need to always compare themselves to others. Don't attach your self worth to financial security. Be more secure in what you believe and don't back down so easily when others challenge your ideas.

Capricorn: The moon doesn't like being here. Its emotionally depressing actually lol. I'm sure you've already read enough depressing interpretations on cap moons tho so this one is not going to be that. This one is meant to empower you. Youve experienced alot of chaos anger and pain. You've experienced very intense situations that have completely emotional up rooted you. But the smoke always clears and its important for to spend time away from the people and places that have caused this. Take the steps needed to regroup to be by yourself to develop better understanding of your emotions and learn what it is that truly want from your life. If you are not following your intuition it is easy for you to end up in friendships and relationships that do not mean you well. Your not the type of person who can just hang with anyone you need to very intentional about who you allow into your life. Communicate your feelings stop keeping everything bottled in. That shit will drive yo ass crazy. You dont have to be the strong friend all the time your emotions are valid, open up to ppl and share that shit because you dont share often you open up and talk people listen. Use that power to help others that have been through similar experiences to you. When you succeed in whatever obstacles you overcome ppl cant do anything but respect it bc your road was slow and steady but you stayed with it. When it comes to relationships you are very black and white you'll commit yourself fast but if you feel you cant trust the person you may still deal with them but emotional you shut them out. You like being partnered up rather its a relationship or situtationship you deal with the person for a long time.

Aquarius: I want to give you a hug, you are too analytical for your own good. Baby you need to stop thinking so much and you need to feel, you need to experience, act on impulse, dont give yourself time to think about everything that could go wrong. You sabotage so much of your own happiness that way. But i understand people have disappointed you so many times you feel you must do everything on your own. Its like nobody understands you or that people are committed to misunderstanding you. But news flash your not that expressive with your feelings how is anybody going to know if you dont tell them. Yall are cute though with yall dry ass humor. Listen stop being such a fly on the wall you hold as much value as anyone else stop acting like your presence is a fuckn burden. You dont have be agreeable all the the time they will be O FUCKN K. You are very intelligent and more people need to know that. Believing in yourself and communicating is your lesson. Shine your light and stop playing like fr...

Pisces: Ok we’re gonna get the sad shit out the way first. Just how yall like. I really feel like yr parents just let yall cry it out as a baby and you took that personal lmao. No but fr i feel like you always came across like you can handle things so you weren’t really checked on everyone just assumes you'll be ok. You come across as very strong and resilient which is beautiful but everybody needs a shoulder to lean on. Okay now remember how i said yall took that personally ummhm you can be very vengeful never forgetting he littlest slight somebody done towards you. Yall resort to committing crimes rather easily if you need some money lmao im not mad at it though. Literally rationalizing damn near anything if that means youll get what you want. And another thing yall be lying fr. lol sometimes it really do be on accident though you just forgot what really happened and your imagination is very vivid you thought that was the truth. You can be too hard on yourself sometimes you see very clearly the person you want to be so you put so many time limits and expectations on yourself. Chill out enjoy the journey and flow through life the way you know how to. You have very high standards so anything you invest your energy too is executed properly. I honestly cant even imagine a Pisces moon not running their own business. Im sure you cant either. You naturally have very authoritarian energy. Theres not much push and pull when it comes to you getting your way people go with your flow pretty easily. Naturally you wouldnt assume a pisces to be practical but they actually are. Sure they dream big but if they didnt know how to practically implement that into this realm that would just be depressing as hell. When yall find something that works for you, you are very disciplined at seeing it through. Very protective over those you love yall def give stand up when i walk in the room vibes lol

[peanutheaddd]

so for the dusk au, do you think greg and petey would start fighting again? like joining a martial arts class or something, and they spar as a way to destress and get close to each other again? i was going through your info dump post and saw that you said they used to actually fight in high school and i thought it'd be funny if they did.

also unrelated but still about the dusk au. why is Petey so avoidant of love? like was there something specific that made him so self depreciative? i know you made his dad to be super negligent in this au, but still youd think he'd latch on to the love Greg gave him when they were in school instead of recoiling away.

GRIN!!!!! that WOULD be so funny and i fucking love the "characters who always physically fight have a positive relationship" trope (one of my faves of all time) but i think realistically they wouldnt 💔💔

a lot of their physical tussling as kids was bc they had a Lot of pent up aggression and they were still young . i think theyve mellowed out a Lot since then . 5 years of fatherhood has changed petey LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭 .

also absence makes the heart grow fonder smth smth . like dms been yearning for so long that idt he has it in his heart anymore to tussle with petey . like in all those years they didint talk the last thing he wanted to do was to fight w him again . i think theyd still pull pranks on each other tho LMFAOOOO they need that enrichment

as for why petey is avoidant of love its bc he hates himself 😂😂😂😂 and thats a product of childhood emotional neglect and being rejected by his peers as a kid . nothing happened in specific its just. childhood emotional neglect has crazy long lasting effects bro.

and as for why he didnt latch on to dms love . okay so like. lemme get into his psyche here heh rubbing my hands neurodivergently

dusk petey hates himself as a Person. thats why he puts all his value as a person onto his academic achievements. thats why hes okay with being praised for being smart . bc its true. and in his mind its the only thing hes worth . if you take away the intelligence hes nothing essentially. so thats why hes egotistical in this aspect

but again he hates himself as a person so badly that if anyone claims to like him for . him. he just straight up doesnt believe them . imposter syndrome basically. like "sure this person might like me now but if they find out more about me theyre gonna realize that im nothing special and theyll leave me." and USUALLY he doesnt care bc hes like whatever i dont need friends .

BUT this changes if he actually Likes the person who is saying that they like him. he likes dm So So So much . the thought of dm finding out that hes nothing special and leaving him Kills him because he cares So badly. its terrifying . he was mostly able to maintain such a long relationship w dm BECAUSE they kept pretending to hate each other. when dm confessed to him it completely shattered that illusion . so hes like "Oh. he likes me. but hes going to leave me eventually." and hed rather never experience his love at all rather than experience it briefly and have it ripped away from him . in his mind those are the only two options for him because he thinks of himself as completely unlovable .

so he has to make sure that dm never shows him any love bc he cant afford to get used to it . he Knows that once he gets a taste of that love hes gonna actually wanna kill himself once its taken away from him bc he likes dm So bad . so he completely self sabotages and pulls away so that he can take control over the situation. its just this whole fucked up mental illness cocktail essentially LMFAO

[talon-dragonbeast]

Hey , how are you ? Hope you are doing well. As a dragonkin myself , I wanted to ask you how you realised that you were a dragon and how it you find your dragon species and dragon body ?

hello! im doing fine, thanks for asking! lets see... before i realised i was a dragon, i kinda already knew i was nonhuman. being called a human never felt good for me, and id always had these instincts and impulses that didnt make sense for a human to have. i had a very active imagination, and i was always daydreaming about growing wings on my back or otherwise transforming into a nonhuman creature; winged creatures fascinated me. unicorns, dragons, pokemon, birds... i used to make little drawings of a lot of different creatures in the margins of my notebooks. i imagined myself as this creatures, and wanted to be like them. i sorta... trained myself to have wings, first in my dreams and later in real life, in the form of phantom limbs. they made me happy and i didnt tell anyone about them, so i didnt think much of it.

i found out about the otherkin community when i was 18, but i didnt think much of it to be honest. i thought it didnt fit me, and i left it at that. but eventually, i discovered that having phantom limbs wasnt... common, to say the least (i think my thought process was something along the lines of "yeah, probably everyone feels the constant sensation of invisible limbs superimposed over their physical body :) im normal :)"), and again i fell into the questioning hole. long story short, i thought i was a crow, then a harpy, then a monster-thing with wings, then i didnt know what i was anymore, and finally i thought "holy shit, i can be a dragon???", and that was that. not very exciting, i know.

as for my appearance, it was a Process. i knew i was a western dragon from the start: four legs, two wings, a tail, two horns, all that. the details were a bit harder though. first i tried on different colours in my mind, taking note of which ones felt right, "like me", and trying to see them on my body. i dont know how to explain it, but when i found the specific shade of blue my scales are, something clicked in my mind. it was like a "its me!" feeling. i found out about my half-feathered wings a bit later, i think a couple of months after my awakening? i always knew i had feathers on my wings, but i repressed it because i wanted to fit the specific idea of a dragon that i had in my mind. but eventually, i had to accept that i was a little bit weird and embraced my weird ass (affectionate) wings. all the other details i figured them out eventually or just... made them the fuck out. yeah, you can do that! you can literally just think, "hey, wouldnt this be cool?" and add it to your appearance. my little scale details? made them the fuck out. my lateral line? made it the fuck out. my chest scales? okay, i cheated a bit because i used my phantom limbs for those. but their colour? I Made It The Fuck Out. you can just do it. no one can stop you.

ill leave you a couple online dragon makers here so you can play with appearances and stuff. they were helpful for me when i was just starting, so i hope theyll help you too!

really good 3D dragon maker, with lots of options for body types!

2D builder, a bit more limited but still very good

i havent actually tried this one, but its a cool dragon maker game

flight rising dragon builder! it has tons of patterns and colours, but can be a bit overwhelming

and as always, good luck with your journey! :}

[natsmagi]

I mean if happyele really wanted to cut Tsumugi's hair THAT BAD, they could've made it against his will like "guys :( NewDi says if I don't go through with this image change they're gonna disband Switch :( :( :(" and then they all use their magic to save the day or whatever. Or could we at least get some homoerotic forced hair cutting from Eichi? as a treat??? And they can cuddle together and heal something new rather than digging up old problems from the grave?!?!?! and then Sora's synthesia is healed and everyone's happy!!!!! Writing fanfic as a way to cope <3

big news i actually just today read the proper TL for wish in its entirety which means i can now confidently speak on it

the hair cutting this is so nonsensical for so many reasons bc the growing his hair out thing is bc of his childhood promise w natsume right. and in wonder game this was confirmed to be the reason behind him growing out his hair, and also implied that despite the gankake now being fulfilled (natsume saying "and so the two of them lived happily ever after," which WAS the wish. "lets become happy together, you and me") tsumugi didnt wanna cut it simply because he liked it

but then in wish, while they acknowledge the childhood promise, they reframe the wish to be a New one tsumugi had made when switch first formed. a new wish to be happy as idols with both natsume and sora, because he thought him getting his hair cut as a kid was what severed his ties with natsume. And this just. isnt true to the story we'd been told?? and they also insist that natsume had already cut HIS hair, when we can all see he blatantly hasnt. he still has the red string. In the childhood scene, tsumugi says he will grow out his hair so theyll still be tied together incase natsumes red string ever gets severed. It didnt. the red string persisted even if tsumugi was forced to cut his hair up until high school. It is more logical to view his sudden growing it out as him finally taking control of his life, as he had previously never stood up for himself. his parents would force him to cut his hair even if he didnt want to. but now that hes been reunited with natsume, seeing the red string persist in natsume, does he now decide to grow it out again and refuse to cut it, standing his ground. Tsumugi cutting his hair isnt liberation, him growing it out was.

and the gankake had been fulfilled after wonder game. Natsume even making a point that they shouldve dispelled any cause for worry, and sora says to natsume that he thinks the gankake thing is just an excuse as tsumugi seems to be genuinely fond of his hair now. Tsumugi then confirming this speculation, as sora had compared it to a birds nest which made him happy

i see people make the argument that tsumugi cutting his hair is him letting go of these superstitions hes overdependent on, like lucky charms and such. Which is probably the most laughable argument ever because he LITERALLY MAKES OMAMORIS OUT OF HIS HAIR AND GIVES THEM TO PEOPLE SAYING THEY BRING GOOD FORTUNE???????? hes STILL spiritual as ever. The hair changed nothing, and if anything just showed the toxic reliance on spirituality even more. because he Literally started referring to his hair as a curse. believing he needed to sever it to free himself from it. Like are we playing stupid on purpose here??????????

and lets not forget: tsumugi STILL HAS THE SAME WISH BY THE END OF THE STORY. ONCE AGAIN HE IS STILL SPIRITUAL AND SUPERSTITIOUS. MIND YOU, THIS STORY CLAIMS THE WISH THAT WAS A BURDEN WAS THE ONE HE MADE WHEN SWITCH FORMED, TO BE HAPPY WITH SORA AND NATSUME AS IDOLS, AND THE BLAME OF THAT WISH FOR WHATEVER REASON LANDING ON THEIR CHILDHOOD PROMISE????? SO, ACCORDING TO THIS STORY, ITS NOT EVEN A NEW WISH!!!!!! BECAUSE APPARENTLY ITS NOT THE WISH THEY MADE AS KIDS????????? LITERALLY NOTHING CHANGED EXCEPT HE GOT FIRED FROM HIS NEWDI POSITION. WHICH IS A POSITION HE WANTED. he had spoken in wonder game of how important this new role was to him because he could now help other idols grow like he had always wanted, all while being an idol himself

remember in pleiades where the whole conflict of the story was natsume being torn between being a fortune teller and an idol, and how the conclusion was that he can be both if he so desires? isnt it crazy how this just Didnt apply to tsumugi at all in wish? how they completely dropped this moral? and lets not forget we have charas like eichi, keito and ibara who seem to be doing just fine lmfao

theres genuinely so. So much i could say about this story. its whole existence is a major contradiction and they cant even remember their own established facts. one of the most laughable things being how natsume and sora were worried about tsumugi but couldnt reach him through his phone, to which he later says was bc it was dead. Meanwhile, during the same time natsume and sora wouldve been trying to contact him, he was VIDEO CALLING EICHI ON HIS PHONE LMFAO???????????????????? SO MUCH FOR A DEAD PHONE

either way. Me and my friend will be working on a thorough breakdown going over everything wrong with this story. this is just me briefly ranting. i dont know how long itll take to make, esp bc we wanna also fact check our sources to ensure we get it right, but know we're trying to make it happen. And hopefully itll be a decent enough source to make those who felt hurt or even just conflicted over wish feel validated in their emotions. i hardly see anyone mention the blatant faults, so i want people to at least have a source they can go to for vindication

once upon a winter's night I was speaking to @/emmywlemmy (she has some good tmf art I reccomend) about the hypothetical Greater TMF Polycule (where we multi shippers just put all our ships) and we were like okay yay the jomies and jean! they can have a nice lil sleep over or something! and for the first time Drean was considered. so hear me out

1. drew needs more emotional maturity in his life and sean can very much be that emotional maturity. even though drew has friends, he doesnt exactly form deeper emotional connections, at least not to the extent that he had with jake yknow? I feel like drew and sean could also have those deeper talks that we dont see drew have with henry, liam, Zoey, etc..

2. enemies to lovers. I feel that itd be fun to see them learn to understand each other better and I think that out of the music club, sean would probably be the most open to getting to know drew despite everything?

3. drew can buy sean presents and sean deserves that

the idea is less in canon and more like future fanon in my head. like again I was talking to someone about a jomies+jean sleepover and we went okay. but what if sean got up in the middle of the night to leave (probably because of shit with their parents, something or other) but drew followed them and talked to them. I dont think theyd be incredibly close but theyd get there yaknow? picture drew and sean sitting on the curb under a streetlight together type beat. this is my vision I am attempting to spread further propaganda

ABSOLutELY. great points you made

The thing is, ive considered it as a ship a while ago simply because they were my favorite characters, but havent thought about it on a deeper level and then just forgot about it... though lately ive definitely seen an upspring in the amount of people shipping them and i can see it even though it is very unlikely that theyll actually interact in canon.

i feel like the potential of drew having parent issues (which i sometimes forget isnt actually confirmed) can also add more into this ship... and possibly make them parallel each other!?!? Assuming Drew is neglected by his parents or something akin to that, he would grow to have attachment and control issues and just really struggle with not being seen as important or needed in others lives, making him clingy and jealous and not being able to stand the idea of the people that he cares about leaving him... whereas with sean and HIS emotionally absent parents i belive hes become mucb more used to others not being there for him and his emotional needs not being met, so hes just accustommed to feeling more lonely or not being comforted during tough times, so he puts on a fake smile at times and generally dislikes others showing genuine concern over him because he might feel as if hes not worth others attentions, so he doesnt seek it out like drew, abd instead of dealing w his probelms he just escapes from them through music bc hes not used to confronting the emotions that havent been adressed as much as they should be throughout his chiildhood. however, he knows what its like to not be treated with care and kindness and patience from his home. and while he doesnt expect others to treat him diffrenetly, he doesnt want anyone else to feel that way bc he knows how much it hurts to have your emotional needs ignored. in sypnosis they may shgare the same struggles but have learned to deal with them in different ways

i guess my only "problem" with it is that a lot of the expectations on keeping the relationship stable and emotionally mature are set on sean? though thats the case with most sean ships from what ive seen. i suppose its simply in his nature to put others before himself like that... but i think drew could grow to genuinely appreciate sean and learn to confront his attachment issues and learn to appreciate himself as well irregardless of his relationships or how much other people pay attention to him. drew is constantly surrounded by so many fake people (zoey, jake, henriam, basically everyone he knows and cares about), and while sean does have a tendency to not necessarily put his emotions on display so hes not entirely honest all the time i think drew having someone that just loves him for who he is and not what he has to offer is really important, and just having someone that he could talk to in regards to a shitton of emotions he might be holding back. as for how the relationship would affect Sean - i think drew could sometimes snap him back into reality?? i dont think drew is inherentlys the most emotionally mature person on the planet, and as ive mentioned it here before i think he holds his emotions back at times, i think what he values heavily is Honesty, kind of contrasting seans escapism. drew also might be a bit self centred at times (or just actually thinks about how things affect him), while sean is much more humble and tends to put others before himself. idk. again im sort of having trouble enviosining what Drean would mean to Seans character. Maybe Drews harshness(?) would make sean realize that its ok to prioritize his emotions at times? and maybe face his emotions better. the concept of drew buying things for sean is also cute, its how drew shows love bc thats how he was shown love growing up while sean may not be super used to being shown much attention or love throughout his life and is also broke bc he works at a minimum wage part time job and his parents probably dont bother to lend him anything. sean is very attentive and understanding of others so i doubt hed question drews ways of affection. i also think them getting closer would make sean understand the jomies POV in the whole climax of s1 and everything that happened AND how that affected them

I also think Drew getting to know Sean better would help him try and understand people better and getting to know others more before judging them ( i mean he is a bully, he was also briefly shown bullying elliot in millys song, so maybe he has a bit of trouble when it comes to understanding others???? or how other people might be affected? like maybe he struggles w empathy just a bit (not saying that makes u a bad person i also struggle with empathy oftenly so idk if im self projecting here or something else). like maybe at first drew woul.d see sean as "that random sean guy, a music freak" but then come to understand him more and mayhapas by extension others and the other music freaks and why music might be so important to them, which could help him grow and stop being a jerk when he really doesnt need to be one .

i think there are interesting things that stand in the way however, that being the club, especially jake and hailey. drew sees jailey as people whove hurt him (in different ways) while theyre some of seans closest friends he cares deeply about. wonder how theyd sort that out. but i think i already wrote enough about them lol. . asshole and cinnammon roll

not to send the billionth ask about hlvrv but are doc and g-man intentionally narrative foils. man who would do literally anything for his family VS man who believes having a family makes you weak. like. they ARE narrative foils but was it on purpose or a happy accident. also every day i thank you for making sleepless a forzen when i feel like anyone else would've made him a benrey for Frenrey. idk it adds a little pizazz that he's the singular forzen in hlvrv and not a benrey even if him being a benrey would probably change nothing plot-wise

YESSSS and i love it. the question of "was it intentional" is a little here and there because the more i look back at hlvrv the more i forget what i was thinking of in the moment and the more i only have my notes to go off. where episode 1 was kinda me going "UHHHHHHH" and panicking looking at the building blocks that ive laid out desperately trying to smash them together. doc definitely wasnt crafted with the idea that he would have this traitor narrative in mind, and certainly he wasnt created hand in hand with gvrv. his creation was me in the notes app going "uh i need two more gordons. what would be cool. A MAD SCIENTIST MAYBE?" and things kinda fell into place from there.

i think as the live askblog stuff went on i definitely did find my footing with that though, especially as i was going in with the looming shadow of like. onceler-au-ification behind me. i wanted the science teams to play a part in them for sure. and for that connection, that bond, to play a part, and i guess as the story went on doc and freemans fates got more and more intertwined, as doc has this sort of selfish love of her family where she will stop at NOTHING to save them, and the admins whose selfish love of freeman ends up trapping all the other gordons and dangling false hope in front of them, but as the story goes on, as the gordons make these choices to reach out to each other and fight for their happy ending, thats how you see doc and the admins' loves grow into something more deeper and mature. compared to gvrv who chose to love people only as tools

ALSO YEA I LOVE SLEEPLESS. im like 90% sure zer creation was also just me scheming in the notes app like "ooooh theyll NEVER expect this one!" but also i noticed hlvrv at large had a very large forzen-shaped gap so i was like "fuck it". i agree i think making sleepless a benrey would have been tacky

sorry dhmis fandom i havent been around to ramble as much because i was off getting mad bitches and touching grass. but im back and ready to get really sappy and emotional and compare my life to old man yaoi. so anyway. do you ever think about how lonely the main three are despite being right next to each other. how they really do love each other but they dont trust each other nor do they know how to properly treat each other. like they try their best but their best isnt enough. they try to teach themselves how to love but its made them selfish. growing up in shitass nowhere alabama, traumatized as fuck, this is how friendships have sometimes felt for me. nothing is serious, everything is ignored, everything is funny no matter what. our words may sting each other but we stay silent and fake a laugh. and then those friendships would fade into weird gay bromances. and yeah those middleschool ass homo-friendships might be shitty but theres something so nice about the moments in the dark, when you realize you like looking at each other. when you realize that maybe you should be kinder. maybe you should trust them more. maybe if you hold their hand long enough and close your eyes tight enough you wont have to go back to pretending to be cruel. and it might notve worked back in middle school, we may have crashed and burned, but i still look back fondly on those moments in the dark. and now that im older, and ive learned to be kinder, and ive met others whove learned the same, im finally with someone that likes looking at me even when the lights are on. im surrounded by people whove lived and learned. like sonic adventure two am i right guys. but seriously. ive said this before and ill say it again. dont hug me im scared makes my fucked up life feel represented, but it also gives me hope. those gayass puppets may forever be trapped in toxic yaoi, but i am not, we as real people are not. theyll learn how to love and forget in an hour, their efforts are hopeless, but ours are not. GO OUT AND KISS YOUR HOMIES TODAY. BE KIND. LOVE YOURSELF AND LOVE EACH OTHER. HOLD THEIR HAND IN THE DARK AND IN THE LIGHT. THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE DESERVE MORE THAN A MINUTE OF AFFECTION. YOU DESERVE MORE THAN A MINUTE OF AFFECTION. WE ARE HUMAN AND WEVE MADE MISTAKES, AND WELL MAKE THEM AGAIN, BUT WE CAN CHANGE, WE CAN GROW, THEIR LIFE WILL NEVER CHANGE BUT OURS WILL. THEY WILL NEVER DIE BUT WE WILL. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON FOR THE MISTAKES YOUVE MADE, BUT YOU SHOULD FIX THEM WHILE YOU CAN, BETTER YOURSELF WHILE YOU CAN. DONT SPEND YOUR LIFE DRIFTING AND WAITING FOR A FRIDGE SCENE TO HAPPEN. MAKE EVERY DAY YOUR FRIDGE SCENE. AMEN

going to discuss xiv patch stuff just so i can get my thoughts organized

i thought it was insanely cool but the things that made me a bit :/ were the fact that they like. solved the levin issue so easily. it sort of annoys me that they give someone a disability and snap their fingers and go ok its solved ^.^ i know it can still relapse like alisaie said but (scratches head) i dunno. it kind of annoyed me but ill see how it goes on bc i am interested in the new guy and his bandage thing despite Being an endless and if theyre going to touch on more on that. i could grow with it but my initial reaction is not favorable.

LOOOOOVE sphene. every single one. shes rlly cool. its interesting to see what the real sphene is like vs the endless sphene, which is to say theyre the same but how their paths diverged. i like the idea that she has to reckon with what shes done. dont really show that though? mostly we see her mourning the good endless sphene did which very fair they both love their people and want to help but i tihnk we cant discuss that without the consequences that that goodness brought i.e. the way there are people living outside on the outskirts in order to keep their culture but it is incredibly dangerous vs moving into the safety of solution nine but giving up everything they had before. i really hope they make sure to include that in her thoughts in the future patches. But i dont want to be a hater nation they could be planning a lot more, this is only like one patch and shes been thrown through a lot. also kind of annoyed that she got cured instantly and now is like "i cant do anything if i cant fight" which i think is something to Feel and Discuss in the disabled community but if they really just make her able to fight and not have any sickness anymore im going to be More than a little annoyed. still loved her though. love her knight. my girl zelani i need you

im just interested in general of what its putting down, esp with the way its examining the body in what it means to be alive which is why im hopeful theyll discuss disability in a better way than "i can cure this in 2 seconds". i wouldve loved for sphene to need to walk slower or have fatigue or anything but it seemed she just had it all from the moment she got up? (shrug) everything else was wicked cool and im excited to see more of the story. i just hope it doesnt forget its themes of disability/colonialism. esp the 2nd one tbqh. itd be crazy if it did but im sure itll turn out okay. ill put my trust in it even if im a little wary atm

i forgot everything else in this patch fuck my baka life. thumbs up excited to do the raids

[blood-injections]

show pony hcs?

WOO SHOW PONY YEAH OF COURSE

They're Dr D's actual nephew and grew up visiting him and being a little helper at the radio station he's had since the nineties.

No sense of self preservation honestly, okay so this is like my favorite headcanon for them just because its silly and they're a badass. So they grew up visiting LA but dr d took them away from it before the and of the wars so they never lived in it while it turned into battery city, and they've never been captured, but they have indeed been to battery city. Because they've broken in. Solely to be gay do crime. They sneak into the city to graffiti shit and flirt with pornodroids and recruit them to throw bricks into windows with them(not of apartments or townhomes, just the research and bli buildings and occasional business). They wear their skates or bring a skateboard, they dont drive, half the time they bring a boombox, blasting the fucking beastie boys or something in the middle of the night while they skate around the city, and somehow theyve never been noticed by bli or had to fight their way out, theyre crazy and i love them

Punk as shit, you don't grow up with your cool uncle that was openly gay in the nineties without learning that capitalism sucks and cops aren't your friends. Its a big part of why they sneak into the city and be a nuisace, becuse they want to do more than just fight from the zones, because that city was their home once, before bli took it over and put up the walls, and unlike most joys who hate battery city and just want to burn it to the ground, pony wants to save it. They want to cause a more direct change, something physical thats there in the morning, so that the juvie halls and city folk can see it and see bli working to scrub away grafiiti and fix shattered windows and they'll all know theres someone else out there that doesn't agree with bli, fighting for them and maybe theyll be inspired to do more too. And its why they recruit the droids or juvie halls they come across and put a brick in their hand, because the power that comes with that, the inspiration, it spreads, because Pony's read the stories about the Stonewall riots and knows that if enough of the city could unite to fucking fight from the inside, they could make a real change.

Cherri's their older brother, not biologically but they dont care, they were both too young to fight in the wars but thats where they met, when dr d was looking after them and took cherri in when he lost his dad, who was dr d's friend. They grew up in the zones together, learned to shoot together, figured out out who they are together, they're fuckin siblings.

Their gender is whatever annoys you the most at the moment, it also depends on who theyre around around, like with Poison they're like im ur girlfriend vs with Cherri like yeah im your brother. They dont care what people call them.

Childhood best friends with Newsie but you'd never know it. They fight like siblings but they're thick as theives. When the wars started they were kids that thought theyd never see eachother again, but they reunited years later as killjoys

They're crazy friendly, like terrifyingly outgoing. They love everybody and everybody loves them but they manage to stay pretty humble about it

Theyr'e super dramatic and LOVE to gossip

Horrible artist, cant draw for shit. Great at collages though, they make all the zines and posters for radio shows. You can tell when they made one because there's glitter on it.

Has a helmet. Never wears it.

Any more episodes you’ve watch of the dub yet?

Squirrel and hedgehog dub ep 4 lets gooooo

-Okay ik I said I liked this track but can you please stop playing it USE SOMETHING ELSE

-The difference in mic quality is staggering,,,

-“If slavery was good enough for the pharaoh its good enough for me” HUH??? WHAT???? That is such an insane line…

-Im still mad they made my gay squirrel brothers….I’m so sorry Jul and Geum you do not deserve this </3

-I still cant keep track of the names…

-Do they not have any other tracks….Did they only make like 3 tracks…Oh god, what are they gonna do for the song segments…Please tell me they get more music, PLEASE

-Btw I don’t hate them being brothers just bc I ship em, but bc I feel like their dynamic doesn’t work as well as siblings, ignoring Bamsaegi since he isn’t in this version but what makes Jul and Geum interesting is their very close relationship they’re VERY close comrades, and them being close just because they’re from flower hill and NOT because they’re related I feel like strengthens the whole message of the original show, regardless on your thoughts of said theme

-STOP SHOUTING THEYLL HEAR YOU !!

-I swear they’ll play this track in hell and I’ll have to listen to it for all eternity and go insane

-Dan Green better have gotten paid well for this, Yami Yugi is the king of all games INCLUDING war

-Saimo and Samo are such shit names btw

-I’m surprised they didn’t change the Korean to English

-Can someone good at Morse Code translate what the code in these eps are saying…Im curious

-I’m pretty sure the story is different in this ep…Why? What is the point?

-ZORK?? YUGIOH???

-Why are they yelling all their lines??? YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT

-It has this sort of flashing effect, probably from the film and it’s making my headache worse

-God this moment would be so good if they WERENT BROTHERS, “You’re the best friend Ive ever had, I truly expect for you and I to grow old together and maybe go into a little business for ourselves” YOU DONT SAY THAT TO YOUR BROTHER EVEN CENSORED THEY CANT HELP BIT BE GAY ITS DIC!HARUMICHI ALL OVER AGAIN….God I need to rewatch the original, after this perhaps?

-It is interesting to see them reacting to a potential Defector, but this is NOT how Jul would react to one in the slightest

-Oh yea everything is too yellow but you already know that

-God Jul is annoying in this…Not my gay Squirrel boy at all…

-Okay read them.” Ha, some of the lines can be a little funny, unintentionally

-THEY JUST CUT TO THE CREDITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT WHAT

That was insane and bad but oh my god this just reminds me I should rewatch the og after this lol

hi request here! CW: shipcest / incest.

can you do some imagines for an incest self ship?

I don’t mind if they’re vague rather than specific so more people can relate. but for some details about my ship (to give you an idea), my f/o is my older brother! I was adopted (but we don’t find out until later) and we grew up sticking up for each other when we got picked on, and exploring gender presentation together. mostly we dress up and experiment with makeup and clothes.

ofc! sorry for taking so long. being an adult is lame. here tho anon, much love ^^

(male f/o x gender neutral) cw: shipcest (obviously🦖), implied nsfw? (up to reader), making out i guess😶‍🌫️

your f/o is very protective of you. no matter your size or whatever, they cant stand seeing you get mistreated. growing up, they always seemed almost upset, distant, or maybe even jealous when you showed interest in anyone else. you brushed it off, hes your brother, of course he'll be protective. you two spend a lot of time together, sometimes making up excuses to not go to school/work just to hang out.

youd spend your time sneaking into your parents room when they were gone and dig in their stuff. you would play in makeup, dress up, and play games with things you found in the room. one time, you found a camera and your brother flipped through the pictures. a smile grew on his face before giggling at one of the pictures although he never told you what it was.

one day you two sneak off to one of the many hang out spots he had made. he tells you he wants to show you something cool, but that you cant tell mom and dad about it cuz theyll kick his ass. you agree and go along with it, he had said this before when he found a magazine in your parents room. within a few minutes he has you in his arms and his tongue down your throat. you dont retaliate, the whole thing lasting for what felt like hours but was probably only about 10 minutes. pulling away, he looks around then stares at you.

"we can head somewhere more private if you want. we'd have the house to ourselves by the time we get back" he asks. you agree itd be better to continue in your bedroom.

Is there a way to politely “break up” with my friends? I’m a transfemme lesbian who recently came out. All my friends are guys and they’ve been supportive and i love them in a way but hanging with men makes me feel like “one of the boys” (even though they’re super kind and respectful and treat me like a woman) and I just feel so dysphoric when we spend time together, as nice as they are. It’s not any fault of their own, but I think the best life for me involves as few men as possible, like the brave lesbians who made me want to transition (like you, btw. Thanks!). I’m not super unhappy around them, but I just feel like if I was successful in my goals I’d be in some sort of Touhou world.

aw hell im late responding to this one. but funny enough i was in a very similar sitch early in transition. and my biggest advice? do not break up(tm) with those guys.

like, start talking to more girls online, duh. find a community for something u like and just participate, talk to other ppl, hang out. see if anyone is in yr area to meet up sometime etc etc. you know how to make friends. but like, once you have girlies in yr life, and they make up just abt yr whole life, youll look back on your dumbass rotten egg dudes and be like, well, cheers. theyll be happy to hear how yr doing later on, and youll be dumbfounded by the lives of normies once they grow up.

for now just like. literally just say "cant hang out as much!" or schedule games movies whatever night w other ppl. youll grow apart naturally, no need to do anything dramatic. the girls will edge them out naturally over time and you can wave at them fondly from the weird tslur tower you live in.
