Possessive and jealous Reiner angrily groping and ravaging Reader, please…

(Your smuts are awesome)

Banging On The Wall

AUTHORS NOTE- thank you sm,I’m glad you all love them- I hope that this is up to par lmao. I went a lil overboard

Warnings: overstimulation,cheating (not really) cream pie,grinding,wallsex, feral Reiner, gn reader

BAM-!

The wooden door creaked under your weight as you felt your body being shoved against it and two rough hands sliding up your stomach under your shirt as they proceeded to grope your chest in a hungry and angry way while hot breath was fanning against the back of your neck, making the tiny hairs on your neck prickle.

Grunting, Reiner grabbed you roughly by your upper arms, pinning you against the cold, unforgiving wall. His hardness pressed against your lower stomach, through your clothes. "You want me to show you how much I hated seeing you like that?" He growled against your neck as you whine and squirm in his steel hold

You had not wanted to try to make him act up, but you should of known what would happen when he caught you and Eren together with the other males lips going in for yours but you had tried to explain to him that he made the move and Reiner himself saw you push Eren away before his lips met yours, so you should’ve been able to calm the other down since you didn’t even see Reiner standing there when it happened.

“I didn’t mean to make you jealous…I’m sorry” you moan as your legs widen to give him more access to your clothed sex. "Stop talking and start begging," Reiner growls into your ear. He grinds against you harder, his erect cock grinding against your clothed sex through the fabric of his pants. "Beg for it." He repeated against your neck and it makes you squeak, feeling yourself get aroused and even more than you should from such rough treatment

“P-Please..” You whisper as your hand tangled into the back of his hair. "Please what?" Reiner asks, his voice dark and demanding. He continues to grind against you, his hips meeting yours in a rough rhythm. "Tell me what you want." He cooes,not letting you off the hook as easily as he could of but you could tell by the jealousy swimming in his now amber eyes that he wasn’t in the mood to give you any slack

“Please..take your anger out on me..fucking ravage me” You beg him as he sucked in a deep breath before he spoke. “That's it," Reiner growls, and with a quick motion, he lifts you up by the hips and presses you against the wall. “That’s what I like to hear, baby” He murmured and you felt yourself shudder at the lust dripping off the others tongue

Your legs wrap around him and you hold on tight as his clothed erection dragged against your sex. “Say it again," Reiner demands, his voice low and menacing. His fingers fumble with his belt, undoing it quickly. "I want to hear you beg for it..again” He murmured and you watch his skilled hand undo his belt as your thighs quiver. “Reiner..baby..ravage me like the beast you are” You coo in a needy tone,and you were thankful you only had on underwear and a shirt at this point,your pants long ripped off.

“Good," Reiner growls, the sound sending shivers down your spine. He pushes your underwear down to your thighs, exposing your hole. With a fierce growl, he slams his hard cock into your waiting entrance. Your back arches when you feel the hot erection force it’s way inside you and a whine left your throat while his balls rested against your ass

"Fuck," Reiner groans, his hips slamming into yours in a rough rhythm. He's possessive and demanding, claiming you as his own. There's no finesse to his movements; he's all about taking what he wants with an animalistic force. “R-Reiner! You're so rough...“ you whimper,your body arching under his, trying to match his pace. Your chest heave with each harsh thrust, nipples hardening from the sensation. "R-Reiner...” you repeat

Reiner's thrusts grow even more forceful, his hips slapping against yours in a primal mating dance. He bites down on your neck, leaving a mark as he takes what he wants with a growl. "Mine," he grunts between ragged breaths. “Not Erens..your all mine” He rasps against your neck and you squeeze around his cock,making him groan against your marked neck. You moan, your eyes rolling back as you feel the bite mark form on your neck. Despite the roughness, you can’t help but to feel yourself craving more of this possessive onslaught . "R-Reiner..." You pant, your body trembling slightly under his onslaught “m’ all yours baby”

Hearing your words, Reiner growls low in his throat. His hands grip your hips tighter as he pistons into you, driving deeper with each thrust. The head of his cock brushes against all of your sensitive spots, sending shivers down your spine. Your back rubbed against the wall with each thrust and as he hit your sweet spots,your eyes roll back and your legs wrap around his muscular hips while you tighten. “Reiner I’m gonna cum-!” You wail and You feel Reiner respond.

"Cum for me," Reiner groans, his hips bucking wildly. He's close too, the feel of your tightening around him driving him wild. His cock throbs inside you, about to erupt. "Y-yes," You whimper, your orgasm hitting you hard and fast the moment you heard him command you to finish. You are completely unable to form any coherent thoughts as pleasure ripples through your body, and your walls clenching around Reiner's cock as you cum hard around him but then instantly feels that he’s about to unload inside you and you gasp out a warning. “N-Not inside-!”

With a roar, Reiner continues his wild thrusting, showing no sign of slowing down. His cock feels like it's on fire, and his seed spurts deep inside you making you gasp in horror. He growls loudly, his climax shaking him to the core as he shudders next to you,panting heavily as his erection twitches,spurting it’s potent load inside of you.

Your nails rake up his back as you whimper in pleasure “R-Reiner-?! Y-You came inside!” You exclaim as you beat his back with your hand but it does nothing to him “do you know what that means-?!” But your a whining mess as he never stops moving and Reiner lets out a low laugh, still pounding into you. "Do I look like I care?" He growls, his body trembling with pleasure. His cock throbs inside you, milking your walls dry of their love juices. "You're mine,baby...”

You cry out and clench over his cock,your insides overstimulated and you could feel how hot his cock was,and by the trembling of his muscular thighs,you could tell he was overstimulated but tried not to show it. "Mine," Reiner growls, his seed pushing deeper into you. His hips buck wildly, sending spasms of pleasure up your spine. You're his now, completely claimed. The knowledge sends a shiver down your spine. but his voice was changing into whimpers and he was feeling weaker from overstimulation,his balls throbbing and you rub his shoulder blades,

“Cmon Reiner..you can do it..” You murmured “make me yours” you were secretly hoping that he wouldn’t collapse because you could tell by the way his face was straining that he was fighting and using every bit of his strength to try and milk a second orgasm out of you both. Reiner's eyes roll back in his head, his body shuddering as he tries to maintain control. His cock twitches inside you and his thighs struggle to keep him standing as his thrusts got choppy and he knew he needed to finish fast or change positions

You continue to murmur sweet things to him as the beast against you shudders and delivers fast and sloppy thrusts inside you and you feel him wobble. “M-Maybe you should..ah-..sit down?” You suggest as his sweaty torso pushes and pulls against yours but he doesn’t listen. Reiner's eyes snap open, his beast-like instincts taking over. With one last mighty thrust, he hollows his cheeks and releases his hot seed deep inside you. His body shudders as he moans out in release, his thighs finally giving out from under him.

“REI-!” You yelp as you feel him give way underneath you and you hold onto him for dear life as you slide down the wall with him. “Please..make me cum..just a little more Rei-!” Reiner's hips grind against you, his cock still pulsing out his seed inside you. With a groan, he reaches down and grips his own length, stroking himself roughly as he tries to bring himself back to full strength enough to fuck you to completion. You were used to his stamina so it wasn’t that new to go multiple rounds but not so soon after the other burn you figured he just wanted to claim you completely but you could tell he was reaching the end of his stamina “baby..y-you dont have to..”

"Shh," Reiner breathes, his voice rough from exertion. "I want to." He groans again, his hips bucking against your hand. "Just a little more." Reiner groans, his hips grinding against you. "Just... let me." His voice is strained as he pushes one last time deep inside you, holding himself there as his muscles shudder. You moan at the feeling of him pressing against your sweet spot and you reach down to rub your sex to get yourself off faster because the poor male above you between your thighs was trembling and you knew he was going to cum dry when he did cum again.

Reiner groans as his hips buck against you, his muscles quivering with the effort. His cock twitches inside you and he grinds out, "F-Fuuck..." his movements were sloppy and erratic as he struggled to coax a orgasm from his empty balls. As your hand worked yourself harder, you were quickly reaching another one of your climaxes as you lay back against the wall with the male hunched over you between your legs. “Fuck, yes!" Reiner growls, his eyes squeezing shut as he tries to fight through the overstimulation. His body shudders again, and he groans out, "Nngh, so close."

You could feel every heartbeat pulse through his chest and his cock as you clench upon him and practically wail out in complete ecstasy and you convulse under him and your orgasm squirts out and makes a mess everywhere as you chant his name out like a prayer. You fall back Reiner's body tenses as he feels your orgasm. His eyes fly open, watching you squirm beneath him, his cock throbbing inside you. "Y/n!" He roars, his voice filled with primal lust and pride. You collapse on the floor,completely fucked out as his eyes stare down at you and his hand slides up your chest to your neck, squeezing it.

“Your fucking mine,baby…don’t- ngh-!..forget that-!” He growls before erupting inside you, his seed shooting out against your walls with more force than anything so far and you were shocked he had anything left but you couldn’t think as he flopped down on top of you,panting like a dog while his whole body shook

Neither of you could speak after that, instead you two cuddled and it was Reiner who spoke up,his voice wheezy and hoarse.

“I-I fucking love y-you,please don’t ever l-leave me”

farm sans!!

YIPEE!

farmer sans, he farm. hoohah! he likes to pretend to be a scarecrow, but he works with corn and cattle too, hoorah! his au is right next to the bar, so he likes to go there to drink, him and horror like to drink a lot! yay! farms personality is more laid back then the others, not reacting as cartoonishly to everything, likes eating and doing farm stuff, likes brewing his own beer and cooking some good ol meat on the stove, pretty much like your ol' uncle or grandpa out on the farm. says pardner and pardon a lot i got bored so, some miscellaneous outcodes and AU's are in the BAR SECTION

this is for general combo au asks as well as miscellaneous outcodes and aus combo asks? whats combo asks? for example, while you can ask the characters specifically associated with two seperate aus, like fell and swap, they answer the question, together! at the bar. but moving onto the characters specifically only askable in the bar starting with the focus of the drawing above, geno and paperjam! geno geno came from a AU where his brother tragically passed away, he wore his scarf in papyrus honor and became a sort of hitchhiker, one day he got beat up pretty bad when he found a grey, glitchy... block? he tried to lift it up and well suddenly he was in a dark glitchy space, bits and piece of his friends floating above him in pixel form he spent his time there for many, many years, eventually he sent out a signal through a similar glitchy block in an attempt to try to communicate with someone, this failed, but eventually he succeeded at escaping. alone in the multiverse, sans stumbled upon the bar, and decided to live there, never alone again! hes a little depressed, but less in the waa waa way and more in the soft kind of tired way. like for example he doesnt give a "hi!!" but a "hi......" paperjam pastel and error got a bit to.... errr, frisky lets say (no error doesnt have a penis nor nipples, but pastel does have the female parts, she can reproduce both sexually and asexually, the latter she can achieve through arousing means, but not necessarily inserting privates into eachother means. which gets her to be errrrr, pregrante) eventually she gives birth in a brutal manner, imagine the movie alien but instead of simple blood and whatnot your stomach slowly bulges until it explodes dropping a baby out. ink survived, but error had no interest in kids, ink didint really care, shes a hulking beast her instinct is to take care of the kid for a few months then leave it out in the wild to live but because paperjam is an interspecies baby hes a hybrid of error and inks anatomy so. he grows faster then a normal monster, but still has a moment as a child so, hes not ready for the big world yet, but ink didint know that, so she just dropped him off somewhere and left, paperjam grew up to be a sad child wishing for validation from his parents by any means, learned french to try to impress his mom. used to be a scam artist to try to impress his dads crime fascination, he only semi-succeeded with ink. sad, ambitious artist

404 and king sans

bio: 404 was born omnipotent, automatically more powerful then all the other simpletons. he would become aware of how through an alternative reality known as the prescratch timeline where that version of him speaks of what he was destined for. nobody believes him however and that bitch error keeps harassing me about talking shit well you werent talking at all when you were sucking me off you fucking whore i thought we would have a fucking future togheter but you just a fucking slut fuck you never talk to me again bitch likes: chaos, delinquency, anarchy, NOT following the rules, 100 gecs (the one with the stupid horse), being powerful, super transformations, hyperpop, chains, gold, copypastas, big hot strong men that could absolutely penetrate me hard, 100 gecks (literally, i have 100 of them as pets and its awesome!!!), flexing, being totally dripped out, colors associated with errors, busting it down (gay kind not cool kind) dislinks: order, rules, politics, leaders, having to follow instructions, horror sans from the evil guys fuck you you stole my place on that group which im not that upset about anymore after realising they all suck anyways but i still hate you because you refuse to actually fight and keeps saying random quips everytime youre on screen like actually shut the fuck up, gex, women because im severely femalephobic and extremely homosexual so they terrify me, error (cheater and liar dont ever trust him with anything), ink who stole my man with her fuckin cursed woman parts and apparently in the prescratch timeline everyone calls her mommy????? im bouta yiik out man yeesh omnipotent brat with a big ego king sans a sans who believes himself to be the king of the multiverse, goes around ranting about how hes the greatest and how everyone has to BOW before him, most of the time just gets called slurs and has beer bottles thrown at him wears a comically large crown made of cardboard, plastic, and 5% metal. speaks like an old englishman

paper crane a bunch of sanses got ripped to shreds like paper! oh no! and then they got glued together again, hoorah! but the pieces were all mixed up so they just glued it into one single entity hoo...rah? cheerful, a little... soulless. means good, wants a soul, wants to feel alive again.

horror part of errors gang, but since errors gang hasnt been unlocked yet hes gonna be in this category for now. coming from an au where the core has a malfunction and undyne and alphys asked him to fix it, sans the mechanic errr kind of just slacked off, ate a sandwich took a nap wasnt really paying attention to the subject. eventually after 5 months of sans doing nothing alphys and undyne snap and hit sans in the head with a metal pipe, smashing his skull and sending him flying into the waterfall-snowdin river, after washing up ashore in snowdin, he kind of just forgot his whole interaction with undyne and alphys, and even if he did, he probably doesnt care, same personality as simpletale, but hes slightly more brain damaged so hes a bit more clumsy and endearing. seems menacing at first but hes harmless, beloved by everyone. loves getting wasted at the bar with farmer

Simping for Mamoru Hosoda

You know what? Keeping it up with the Saturday and anime movie thing, I have going, let me just talk about my favorite anime director. Mamoru Hosoda. (No, I do not care that much about Makoto Shinkai. But that is another story.)

Look, I was kinda pre-disposed to loving this man's movies, given that my first fandom hyperfixation was Digimon and he did not only the first two movies, but also an episode from that show. So obviosuly I was kinda going to love his stuff and look out for it, when he started to get active outside of the fandom.

But darn, his movies are just so fucking awesome. And most of them make me cry.

Let me get a bit personal here. I come from a broken home. I had a single mother and that single mother was abusive af. I was homeless, when I was 18. Those parts of the family still alive to this day do not accept me as a guy, because they do not get the entire trans stuff.

But... Maybe it is because of this, that the Hosoda movies always speak to me.

Because the Mamoru Hosoda movies always deal centrally with the topic of family.

In Summer Wars this is very much clear text. It is about this big family clan and about the dynamics of the family. Both in the good and the bad. It also is surprisingly a lot about mutual aid and doing what you can.

Then we have Wolf Children, another movie that focuses on family. In this case of the family of the mother and her two children and about the two children as siblings.

The Boy and the Beast might be even more interesting, because this is very much a found family movie. After all our protagonist ends gets adopted in this monster family of sorts. And it is very much about the father-son relationship between him and his father figure. And about how adopted families can be as valid as blood families.

Mirai no Mirai does not even tackle that big of a topic with it. It is just about siblings and about outcomes and about, well, the future and what it might hold. I even managed this movie without crying!

And then we have Belle, a movie that actually shows us dysfunctional families. Both in the case of our protagonist, who just struggles to adjust after the death of her mother, but also more noticable with the parental abuse that the two brothers live through.

It really is a theme that basically shows up in all of Hosoda's original movies. And I love them for it.

Especially I do love, though, that there is some nuance in this. And that despite everything... We have a choice in this.

[kapitein-oranghien-29]

uhm, is that a pregnant Wario on your ref sheet?

Yes, yes, it is. To show I'm down for all the good ideas. I get too a lot of 'what's the weirdest thing you've ever drawn', probably because this think I'd be scared or disgusted by the awesome idea they have in their head. Oh, here was a fun idea;

It involved TG drone pumping a dude full of cum and eggs and that poor poor human changing mweheh (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) more under cut, if thouth dareth

The idea is similar to the womb tattoos you see in MPREG art but anyway, It is like the eggs sit in his stomach and the stomach will grow as the eggs do because they're soft and can absorb nutrients. we're talking about someone that Drone kidnapped here not Drone himself, by the way. And his new pet’s internal systems begin to change. The muscle mass increase so the body can support its new giant growing dick and balls. The balls still produce cum sort of but it’s a lot of extra fluid for the main process. The change of the insides essentially changes the internal organs from being able to make piss as a waste system into the penis into essentially a birthing canal. So like one chamber lower than the stomach… I know hang in there it will get way worse partner…

And when it’s time Drone fully stimulates his incubator by having his toy sit on his giant cock and wrapping his tongue around and inside their mouthHe’s fucking their now super enlarged prostate while holding them in a place like a toy with his giant arms. And his tongue is easing his swollen eggs next to the walls where his cock can be felt. 

Drone’s children start small with tails so when they begin to hatch they swirl and swim in the “cum” formed by those new balls. You can see the toy’s giant ballsack writhing with their kidsDrone is focused on pressing against his toy's insides with his eggs until each one has hatched and they’re all safely in the lower chamber. The cock itself looks so similar to well…a giant cock. Bigger than Drones' dick actually it’s half the size of the giant and if it didn’t have a foreskin beforehand it has one now. The head is huge and fat and glistening and the urethra has been built up with muscle now with three ringed sections dividing the beast. Each section is capable of contracting and pumping so they can help their children come out into the world… Once his kids are in the ballsack Drone retracts his tongue from his crying toy (tears of joy, pain, lust whatever you fancy XP) and rolls a special dose of pheromones from his pits up to his lips before kissing his toy and triggering the most mind breaking intense orgasm of their life.

He withdraws his tongue to snake it across his toy’s writhing body while they go insane from the pleasure and stop making human noises entirely. He teases and prods his kids from the outside and encourages them to swim through the tunnel and follow the liquid to the exit

The slit itself is at first tightly closed but just larger like the dick it’s on until one baby gets there and with a jolt like blowing a load it opens and the child forces its way out. Bc the kid is larger than the hole it’s both painful the way it stretches and so fucking intensely good that the toy cums again and again. Any observer could see how deformed the end of the toy's giant cock is and could track the wriggling children as they escape. And in the case of a hatchling being stuck, Drone cums a healing hormone into his toy and pulls his cock out before walking around to the front. Similar to a gaping asshole or wide open birth canal the slit is just open for the world to look inside its now oozing tunnel. Drone gets on his knees and slides that masterful tongue inside to its furthest reaches (making his toy cum mindlessly again even more) and scoops his last kid out.

When done, the toy is physically exhausted but still leaking… well it’s not exactly cum anymore after those changes to its body and the kids can lap up their milk. And then bam Drone has a new incubator ready to go for as long as they can hold out. No longer human and desperately craving for the intense feeling of being full and cumming that hard again they can’t ever go back to their old lives fully corrupted by Drones musk and mutations….

More Kaneki Headcanons And Ideas!

Kaneki has a very nice puffy jacket with a fluffy hood! It keeps him very warm!

Kaneki loves to wander off! Never go shopping with this boy! He doesn’t do it on purpose, it just doesn’t occur to him that people would look for him

If you taught him to crochet, he’d crochet all day! He’d love the stimmy repetition and softness of the wool!

Kaneki enjoys rice paper wraps with prawn and peanut sauce!

One time he hit someone in the face very hard with insect repellent, but the can got busted and the gas went straight to his face! Thank god he was wearing a mask

Kaneki doesn’t really like fire. Sure, a little is fine because people get scared of it, however, he is also a bit scared of the fire, and he hates how bright it gets

Hide once gave him some worcestershire sauce in a glass and told him it was pepsi and he drank it and fell on the floor

Kaneki is a huge fan of farming in minecraft!

Kaneki thinks axolotls are awesome but also pretty weird. He’s done research on how to look after them, and decided it wasn’t really worth it, which he brings up every time anyone talks about axolotls

Kaneki likes to hibernate through his problems! When he quit being a gang leader to go back to Anteiku, he spent a lot of time sleeping to avoid thinking about things, even though he decided to use this time to find himself. Maybe he doesn’t really want to find himself after all he’s done?

Kaneki is a huge fan of M’n’Ms. He loves the small ones. He tries to restrain himself when he’s around others though

He talks a bit like a book character sometimes, which can be a little cringey on occasions, but he’ll also say really profound things completely on accident that change the vibe of the entire scenario

If you took him to Belle’s library from Beauty And The Beast, his jaw would drop and he’d start running excitedly around the library, admiring all of the collections. This is true regardless of which Kaneki you bring. The only exception is #240, who seems very stiff and unsure but is excited nonetheless and will look through the books with you if you coax him a little

Kaneki really likes things to be clean, Shironeki especially. He uses a lot of water washing all the clothes 3 times a week and all the sheets once a week, but it’s worth it to him to feel clean (“Doesn’t it smell nice? Tsukiyama pays for it anyway.”)

Every Kaneki hugs his pillow while sleeping. He’s not really aware of it

Haise is the only Kaneki who accepts hugs from other people

Black Reaper has a comically fancy case for his glasses, and whenever people comment on it he acts as if they were merely jealous. This is very funny to him somehow. It has his full name and everything, even a fake middle name written in gold

Shironeki doesn’t laugh at anyone’s jokes except his own. Sometimes he bursts out laughing randomly because he had a funny thought, but when someone asks it’s either something completely fucked or the most unfunny dad joke/pun to come out of someone’s mouth (usually the latter). Kuroneki and Haise laugh at everyone’s jokes to be polite. Reaperneki stares and then fake laughs in an obvious way, with his eyes open

Shironeki gets embarrassed about how small he is. On one hand it’s useful to look so delicate since it catches people off guard, but on the other he sometimes wishes he could look as scary as he wants to be. He feels a guilty pride when Banjou says he terrifies him regardless

Kaneki is actually a very pretty boy! He just has shit fashion, doesn’t eat or sleep in a healthy way ever, and a lot of people think he’s kinda weird when meeting him, so he doesn’t look as great as he could. If we fixed up his diet and sleep schedule (Shuu solves his fashion issue) he’s actually a cutie patootie! Idk what we’d do about him being weird though

Kaneki is a soggy lad in more ways than one! This man loves playing in the water. Forest adventure with the ghoulie? He’s going in the creek. You beg him not to, you beg him to stay, but in the end there’s nothing to stop him from leaving - he pads quietly towards the running water. Determined to try. He’s stripping away his shoes and socks, your pleads not reaching him. At first shocked by the cold, but willing to reattempt.

The vibrant moss springs back to its original position as his feet dip fully into the water. “It’s cold in here” “I JUST SAID NOT TO GET INTO THE WATER YOU’RE NOT MEANT TO BE THERE” “It’s kinda nice” “YOU COULD SLIP AND GET WET” “Uhuh. You should try this too, you can feel the water flowing around your legs. It’s so chilly”

He does fall on his ass actually and his butt is wet for the rest of the walk. Only reason he’s not taking off his jacket and shirt to swim too is the fact that someone is with him and he doesn’t want to hold them up for more than 5 minutes

Kaneki has a car but he’s still on his P-plate

[rivertalesien]

"The one with the skinny suit. Then I wore a bow tie, then I was a Scotsman, then a woman."

"And now you've got your face back."

And now. You've got. Your face back.

Well, if that doesn't sum it all up.

Yeah, I had a look. Can't talk without knowing, right? Spoilers ahead for The Star Beast.

The episode starts with a really truly I-can't-believe-they-thought-this-was-necessary Disney-friendly opening that explains The Doctor and Donna's connection, as if the show didn't exist before it aired on their service. That's what it's saying now: this is the only important information you need. Whatever came before is irrelevant. You won't be seeing it on this streaming service anyway.

Bringing up Donna Noble, right after leaving Yaz behind with the regeneration, calling her "My best friend in the whole wide world" is...ouch. That hurts. As if nothing that went on before or anyone they knew or cared about (as 13) was even a thing. It won't be for the Disney audience and all the kids tuning in for the first time and they know it.

13 is already an aberration, like Missy. A reboot experiment that will be easy to ignore. Now, we're back on track!

The Doctor has got HIS face back! And everybody's funny! We can laugh again!

Alright, no need to rub it in, Space Man. It really is a shame how 13's era was so dry (lesson-heavy, even) but so much more expansive with story ideas, while 10's period was full of humor and pure silliness that doesn't stick around in the memory very long. Some irony there I think.

Now the rough bit. Going to do it like a bandage and just tear it off because it's starting to itch:

For an episode that lays on the trans-positivity, it hits a sticky spot (and this is more meta than the meta crisis, so take with a pinch of something salty): can we talk about 13, or would that be a kind of dead-naming? The answer should be obvious, right, but there's an awkward and unspoken (and probably not deliberate) juxtaposition of 13 with Rose: we're reminded she deserves love and respect and how her bullies dead-naming her is shit, so the show completely erasing any references to 13 (the one time the Doctor visibly transitioned into a woman) in the same episode, is...um, well, I said awkward already. Are we supposed to just leave 13 in the past as something that wasn't true to who the Doctor really is? The Doctor regenerating into an old self, in their old clothes, even with a completely different sonic, no glimpse of 13's Tardis? Same performance? No sense of who they were before? Not even an acknowledgement of the clothes regenerating? We can call it convenience for Disney's sake, but it feels like what the Master called it: erasure.

I believe Davies, living in the midst of Terf Country, wants to do right by the queer community and stick it to anyone who believes we are less or should not exist and that is awesome. But he also led this...what, misogynistic? erasure of 13 (something deeply misogynistic fans of the show who never wanted a woman in the role in the first place are happy about, and fuck them) and if his walk doesn't follow his talk? Sorry, but we've been here before.

And it's not like the Doctor is particularly bothered with having the old face back (Rose would probably be horrified if such a thing happened to her), and Donna later bringing up "if you were still a woman" at the end is...more messiness. I mean, we know the Doctor regenerates, but this is different: we've gone backward, male-presenting-only. The first (and second) female Doctor is followed by two more men. Because there hasn't been enough of that particular image. No negative message intended, right, but there's one all the same and it's...messy. It's awkward. I hope they know it and I hope there is some proper acknowledgment before we get to the next regeneration. Just not counting on it.

Speaking of Donna and messy, she can go from adoring her daughter, willing to defend her to the death, to calling the Meep a "ferret from Mars" and insinuating they could sell it...and that was before she knew the Meep wasn't exactly a cuddly furry. Just underlines her previous conversation with her mom about failures in language (and tolerance) as being, well, really something straight white folks really need to work on.

Among other things.

The episode is filled with "lessons" on pronouns and disability (who is the lesson for? Disney audiences?): "don't make me the problem" is a great point, but then begs the question: why didn't they just put up a ramp to the ship? Answer: no opportunity to teach...and that kind of gets thrown out when everyone has to climb a ladder...and later, when there's an elevator in the building...missed that. Oh well. "Confused but got the spirit" is there and maybe a little OTT, but there's also the part where RTD is setting up what to expect as we move into Gatwa's era and Disney had better be on board. They're not known for hanging on to overtly queer shows (DW has got to be a big investment for them, though, so here's hoping they just keep making it queerer and weirder and let Disney stew in their discomfort).

And it's got all of RTD's signature silliness and an emotional 10 showboat moment (how is this "14?" Again, there's no difference in the performance at all) and I bet everyone who started watching in 2006 is just trembling all over that the Good Old Days are back (let's face it: people just like Tennant and Tate as a duo. They're great. Some are also ageist and chauvinist dicks about 12 and 13, so, again, fuck them).

And destiny is a thing. And reversing catastrophic geological damage with a few switches is a thing. No stakes, just the old fun, for old time's sake.

No pun intended.

Only with more explosions and shoot-outs (and a sonic doing decidedly non-sonic stuff): Marvel fans will love this. Blue Beetle fans? Probably not so much.

This show has always fed off of its own nostalgia, even if each regeneration means moving on to something different. But the same. Kind of. Now they've got Disney money and while I don't feel this is a full reset, kicking off from where 10 and Donna left off (again, as if nothing happened between now and then and no one else was around who mattered), is...well, if destiny is a thing and this show was always heading in Disney's direction, I guess no other Doctors needed to have happened after Tennant.

It doesn't exactly setup Gatwa for success, is what I'm saying.

"Why did this face come back? To say goodbye."

The Doctor does that. A LOT.

"Binary...non-binary" is a choice here and it adds to that earlier stickiness: Rose *choosing* her name, her very existence even, isn't about her being trans, it's about her being a result of the meta-crisis. Interesting.

The "The Doctor is male and female and neither" is also kind of hilarious given the earlier point that there is now no evidence of 13: not her clothes, not her sonic, not her Tardis. In prior regenerations, the Tardis changes due to damage from the regeneration energy. That didn't happen with 13. The previous sonic always shows up, too, until it breaks. So...well, it's beating a dead horse now, isn't it? Good for the goose, but the gander is something else. It's kind of a "do as I say not as I do" kind of thing.

Not even Donna bringing up how The Doctor was a woman for a hot second, not even the "male-presenting" Doctor suddenly "not understanding" (because the Doctor, in their male body, no matter the circumstances, cannot understand any of this and wait...did the show imply The Doctor is *not* non-binary? What?), makes this any less messy.

Yeah, this is important right now. How are you going to be this earnest with the Lesson about Representation (which would be kind of glorious otherwise, especially on Disney), and just gloss over the visual erasure of 13 and all the baggage that comes with that?

"Do something completely new and have some friends."

I hope Yaz is somewhere, with her support group of former companions, rolling her eyes and working on her affirmations.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts trailer — Thoughts

Well… It looks visually engaging, I’ll give it that…

SIGH

My hope that Rise of the Beasts would follow in the footsteps of Bumblebee have been fading ever since it was announced there would be Beast Wars characters in the film, and the last vestiges of those hopes died with this trailer.

It seems that this movie is falling to the same trap that almost every non-Marvel franchise movie has been falling into since the first Avengers movie: trying to shove as much “iconic” imagery and characters in at once.

(And quite frankly, ever since Endgame and No Way Home, Marvel themselves have fallen into that trap)

I just…

SIGH

You generally wanna save Unicron for your grand finale… but here he is, to up the threat level to the highest possible.

You can’t really get “bigger and badder” than Unicron as far as Transformers goes. It doesn’t mean that there’s nowhere else to go, far from it… but it does mean you just played your biggest, most eye catching, big destruction card…. Which… I dunno, maybe that’s a good thing? Maybe they’ll have to rely on other villainous characters and tactics on a smaller and more personal scale because you CAN NOT get any more “about to kill your planet” than fucking Unicron, and presumably they’ll defeat him in this film?

Look, as I said up front, I think the movie will be more visually enjoyable than previous Bay movies. The characters continue with what Bumblebee started, and have some colour and designs that don’t look like they were assembled by this guy:

(Actually I take that back. Character designs by Dean would rock)

And as far as designs go, yeah Unicron looks fucking awesome:

But… I’m not confident this movie will do any better than the previous Bay movies. I can already hear the critics talking about how it’s “confusing” and… Y’know what, I imagine the words of Eleanor Shellstrop about what a Transformers movie would smell like remain true:

Look.

It’s likely to be enjoyable enough as far as “seeing cool robot fight scenes” go. It can’t possibly be worse than Age of Extinction. But I suspect the movie will continue to ensure that Transformers is the butt of jokes in the public consciousness.

Fuck it tho, Peter Cullen is still voicing Optimus Prime at 81 years old. And if I can hear Peter’s Optimus voice, then at the very least, I know that’ll be enjoyable.

[trashboatprince]

SO!

The Star Beast!

Let's talk about it!

(Major spoilers under the cut)

-First off, I fucking love Fourteen, absolutely a delight, I wanna hug them (Okay, technically I HAVE hugged them when I got to hug David at the con this year, but still!). Also, 'male-presenting Time Lord', bah! Still gonna use they/them when I refer to them because please just let me have this, I don't care, the Doctor canonically doesn't give two shits about gender and even refers to going by the article Doctor over a pronoun in this special anyway.

-Second, DONNA! OH DONNA! I love her, I love her so much, just- oh, she hasn't changed a damn bit! Including missing the fucking alien spacecraft because that was exactly what I expected from her. <3

-Also, most supportive mom, love that.

-Rose~! Oh, oh Rose, how I love you! No notes, she's amazing! It did hurt to hear her dead name being used, but considering that it was done by a bunch of dickheaded kids, it makes sense. But we will never use that name for her here, nope, she's just Rose. <3

-Shaun is a delight, Donna got herself the most excellent of malewives ever

-Sylvia, ah, exactly as I expected, though she is trying to be better for her daughter and granddaughter, so points to her.

-Meep! So much to say on the meep but I'll keep it brief: transphobic little shit.

-UNIT is always fun to see, but how well known are they nowadays because the BBC report actually referred to them. I dunno, I've still working my way through the Third Doctor's era where UNIT was a major plot point and I haven't... finished watching Thirteen's era yet (only because I want to watch it with my gf the next time we see each other).

-Fourteen interacting with the Noble family was great, especially with them trying to see the Meep and Sylvia panicking and wow, this face cannot escape being slapped I wonder if Donna will get to do one herself.

-The action stuff is so much fun, exactly what I expect from this series.

-Being on the Meep's ship, the fact that Donna went to help the Doctor and just... oh, oh, them freaking out and crying because they were scared she'd die when she remembered. I started sobbing.

-Hell, I was crying when they held her in their arms and said he didn't care if the grunts shot them... uuuuhhhhhggggg... Fourteen cares about her so much! That's his best friend!

-Rose! Rose and Donna, Time Ladies! Lord, Lady, and neither! Don't care what anyone says, I loved this. I didn't voice it, but I had a very strong feeling that Rose would inherit the DoctorDonna.

-Was a little confused about them 'letting go' but... yeah, alright, okay. Still, I wonder if there is still a bit of Time Lord left in them.

-Is there any chance that they can sell Rose's plushies. I really want the Ood one.

-THE TARDIS!

-Oooooh, she's beautiful and big and very classic and yet so very nuwho at the same time, a perfect blend, and just so gorgeous! And Fourteen freaking out in excitement, running around like a child, being so happy about a coffee maker in the TARDIS! <3<3<3

-And Donna's reaction! She was so happy too!

-But then the 'killed me' scene... oh, oh honey, you've been holding onto that for centuries, those memories and the guilt. It's honestly heartbreaking to know that the Doctor, through all their new faces, still held onto those feelings about what happened to Donna.

-I'm excited, don't know what the fuck is gonna happen in the next episode since we didn't get a preview and I think it's the least known of the episodes so far.

-I saved this for last, but I wanna talk about the sonic screwdriver cause I know some people are gonna be all 'oh, it's too OP!'

First off, the sonic has always been, it always will be, it's a fucking sci-fi tool, sci-fi series always have some sort of tool that does everything.

Second, whatever the hell it did to make the shields was awesome, that's such a cool trick and I love it. I bet it's done using sound and light waves, which makes for a very interesting concept and something I'd love to explore in one of my sci-fi aus. Not sure how it made that cool schematics things, but whatever.

Also, leave me alone! I love the new sonic! I need to get my hands on one, but they're always sold out or too expensive!

(Okay, not really last, just a bonus, but damn, no offense to Ten, but Fourteen is a bit more attractive to me. I dunno, I mean, I was crushing hard on the DT at 15, but at 31, it's like, oh. Oh no. He's aged so well, he's so pretty. This is probably Crowley's fault.)

[negative-speedforce]

Your OCs have just been flung into whatever movie/show you've watched most recently! What happens, and how do they cope? How do they interact with the canon characters?

I just recently watched "The Neverending Story" for the zillionth time so this'll be interesting

Siv: Picks a fight with every single one of the characters, and ends up getting nuked by the sphynx gate because of her intense self-loathing

Jay: Gives the Empress a new name, the most beautiful name he knows (It's Cassandra)

Cassandra: Manages to banish the Nothing from Fantasia- she sends it straight into the shadow realm, where there's nothing for it to consume except shadows

Hailey: Antagonizes Gmork because she's dead, what is he gonna do? Kill her?

Arya: Is honestly just really happy because they actually get to interact with other fae-adjacent beings after being shut off from the Otherword for almost two thousand years

Esme: Nukes the Nothing with her light-based powers, then goes to find the nearest fantasy tavern because she is WAY too sober for this shit.

Gina: Figures everything out really fast, and since she's human and technically a minor, she counts as an Earthling Child, right? So she gives the Empress a new name and gets it over with.

Ember: Sees that they're having some kid fight The Nothing and ends up throwing hands with everyone because kids deserve better than that.

Cat: Ends up dying because she doesn't know how to live without modern technology and she ends up falling into a hole/getting eaten by wild beasts/falling off a horse/etc etc etc

Max: Decides to go pick a fight with the Empress because she's a... you know, Empress, and he isn't a big fan of monarchy.

Kyle: Probably passes out pretty quickly due to the lack of electricity in Fantasia

Eric: Transports anyone who wants to go home back to their universe, then faces up against the Nothing on his own.

Jacob: Joins his husband in facing off against the Nothing.

Khalil: "No.", then melts into the shadows and transports himself home.

Antonio: Introduces the world of Fantasia to skateboarding

Ameerah: Manipulates the Gmork into being more docile, then rides around Fantasia on a giant wolf for the singular reason that it is awesome.

Rania: Immediately starts studying all the strange fantasy creatures

Reggie: Helps Antonio introduce skateboarding to Fantasia.

Director Hawke: Tries to take over Fantasia with her dark magic and exterminate basically all the other sentient species, until someone stops her.

Meredith: Goes and bothers Morla the Ancient One to get more information on where the hell she is.

Cory: Immediately starts fangirling over the fact that he's in a real fantasy world, probably ends up scaring the crap out of Falkor because no one expects some random teen to be flying alongside them.

Kelsie: Just enjoys being in nature with all the plants and everything, since her powers are stronger when she's around them.

Onnie: Retreats to the Negative Speed Force until they can figure out how to get home.

Pippa: "OMG!!! A FAIRY!!!"

Jessi: Uses her sonic powers to blast open a hole in reality (that probably shatters everyone's eardrums) to go home because all this nature is really going to ruin her Prada heels.

Hyun-Ki: Fucks off with the Nighthob and his stupid bat and leaves Jessi to suck his dust

Marie: Is trying REALLY hard to hide any evidence that she is from space, as not to break the Prime Directive.

Qiara: Uses her powers to restore Fantasia to what it used to be, then runs off with her girlfriends to go live a cottage-core dream fantasy life.

Liah: Breaks the Prime Directive about 600 times because she keeps meeting all kinds of new friends and she tells them everything.

Soraya: Beams back up onto her ship and just spends the rest of her time there hanging out on the Tschaikovsky, which is floating above Fantasia, pretending that she is not, in fact, in a fantasy world.

Thalia: Goes and talks shit with Morla the Ancient One because she is way too tired for this crap.

Reyna: Spends the entirety of her time in Fantasia starry-eyed over all the fantastical creatures and magic and stuff

Athena: Takes over Fantasia and manages to stop The Nothing with a technicality- the Empress needs a new name, so why not replace her with an Empress with a different name? She gets overthrown in a week.

Laila: Joins Athena in ruling over Fantasia for like, a week, before they get overthrown

Samira: Her little scientist nerd ass is going crazy over all these new creatures and species all around her

Aldrich: Follows Sohelia around to make sure she doesn't get herself into danger (she does)

Sohelia: Figures out what's going on really fast, gives the Empress a new name and stops the whole crisis before it actually happens

Dolores: Tries to stay in Fantasia because it's so pretty there, is really disappointed when she has to go back to the real world

Vanessa: Finally feels like she fits in and isn't a freak anymore while surrounded by all these not-quite-human characters.

Matt: Tries and fails to learn how to ride a horse, ends up getting a luckdragon instead.

Victorie: Stays in the shadows until she understands what's going on, then she follows Atreyu around making sure that nothing eats this poor kid.

Kayla: Immediately gets to work trying to build some kind of portal home because HYDRA isn't going to take itself down.

Dori: Starts testing out their shapeshifting powers with all the strange creatures around them, just to see how far they can push themself.

Ellis: Nukes the Nothing with angelic light and the power of love and peace and justice and all those other things that angels stand for

[potuzzz]

Opinion about Stalin and Lenin?

I think they are both awesome and I'm only like 2.5/10 gay at my gayest but I would gladly suck their dicks even if just in a "bro big ups to you bro props man you the man man" sort of way.

I think Stalin in particular is the singularly most injustly maligned person in human history. In the West, he has a reputation for being at best Red Hitler and at worse 100,000,000x Combo Hitler Deluxe. The narrative is so powerful that you have to undergo 5-6 major gekyumes before you even find people who are shiftily lukewarm about him. Seeing Stalin as anything else than a plain and simple hero is one of the most ahistorical and self-destructive things a supposed "leftist" could do to themselves, the movement they ride a wave within and the interests they purport to advocate for.

I wish it could be simple: that we could compromise as a Western Left and just choose to not even talk about Stalin, positively or negatively. But, unfortunately, it is impossible at this point to have an accurate understanding of our present circumstances without knowing and acknowledging who Stalin was and what they did to him. He is just one tiny example of a good person who did potent, uncompromising, brave, fierce, determined, and earth-shaking things within the confines of their singular life to destroy fascism and capitalism and all its horrid alternative names and subsidiaries, and just like all those other people of all ages and races and genders and sexualities and nationalities and time periods throughout human history that have fought to free the slaves from the grip of the masters, the masters lie, they do everything in their power to twist the narrative to their pathetically irrational and gleefully unsubstantiated version of events because they are machiavellian monsters who will SA your grandma until her bones are dust and film it and laugh sadistically about it and then turn around and tell you that you're being a bigot for wanting to exact revenge BECAUSE THEY ARE SNAKES AND WILL SAY ANY COMBINATION OF WORDS TO CAST A CURSE ON THOSE WHO DO ANYTHING BUT PROSTRATE UNCRITICALLY TO THEIR FOUL WILL.

Until leftists understand that if THEY do ANYTHING worth a damn, that THEY TOO will be cancelled, commodified, co-opted, tortured, murdered, and ruthlessly lied about to the Nth degree, they are AT BEST flying blind into a meatgrinder and AT WORST complete idiots useless except as a NPC of the Compatible Left that the CIA will use to psychologically destroy the natural and feverish growth of and lust for communism in the minds of their enslaved population.

To start to temper my rant, let me just add that I do not like either those supposed Marxist-Leninist communists who try to appeal to the idea of "nuance" by saying they "critically support" Stalin, those who may reluctantly admit he is not the Beast projected in the Black Book of Communism and yet will still spend 75% of their every breath criticizing him.

There is *nothing* to criticize Stalin for that is worth a damn.

Why?

If some Herculean person managed to save you from the attack of a Nazi grizzly bear, saved your damn life and the lives of everyone you know, tell me, what does it serve to write some thesis or video essay or rambling social media comment about how in the opening of Round Two of the fight they took a jab when they should have thrown a hook, they arrived 30 seconds late and you suffered the flesh wound of a claw, they foolishly slipped on the mud and very nearly got eaten by the bear. IT DOESNT MATTER. They did it. They did their best and they saved your ungrateful hipster whining ass from speaking German or being turned into an empty pair of shoes. Why the fuck are you even entertaining the idea of doing anything but sucking this man's dick? What kind of person not only looks a gift horse in the mouth, but sits there and whinges and whines and criticizes every percieved imperfection they can find with a microscope?

There is nothing to criticize Stalin. If he had done a single thing differently, if he had, in his own words, "tried to win a revolution with silk gloves," the Bolsheviks would have failed and tsardom would have stayed. If he had not violently purged the shitheaded and traitorous Bolsheviks in the interparty conflicts, the USSR would have collapsed much sooner. If the USSR had not taken itself seriously and stoically pursued immediate militarization and industrialization, the imminent Nazi invasion would have turned hundreds of millions of more people into empty shoes, and if the Nazis hadn't, the immediate Western invasions and century-long siege would have succeeded in quickly toppling the People's Government that the CIA admits Stalin was merely "captain of the team, not a dictator" of, and turning those same hundreds of millions into slaves under a Western colony.

The worst thing Stalin ever did, was die.

Stalin is one of my 3 primary patron saints, flanked only by Joan of Arc and Jahseh Onfroy.

And yeah Lenin is also awesome and made invaluable contributions to the liberation movement of the entire world during the 20th century with his theories. There's a reason "Marxism-Leninism" is something that strikes fear into the hearts of the monopoly pig-men, and that "Marxism" is a feckless bluehaired newspeak that means voting for Joe Biden behind an RGB keyboard (absolutely no hate on Marx, only, the loser smellbad Trots and Maoists and other useless leftcom/postleft/"demsoc"/etc dorks have managed to co-opt Marx into the Compatible Left, Lenin is a more difficult task).

Going off that last parenthetical statement, I will just say that loving Stalin is of course not an instant "okay you're a good communist" sticker, there is the rare genuine "tankie" that just loves the Red Alert 2 anime aesthetics of internet Sovietism, there are plenty of rightwing Russian nationalists who love Stalin simply for being a (Georgian) hero in Russian history, there are even Compatible Leftists who are seemingly communists and yet only love AES when it's 100 years old and insist on still denying herohood to the likes of modern day China from Deng onward.

I also do not blame people for being scared of Stalin. His name in the West is like Voldemort and makes people uncomfortable. So omnipresent are the lies about him, I do not blame ANYBODY for falling victim to the narrative. I just hope, desperately, lovingly--sincerely--that when exposed to alternative narratives that go against the declaration of the 4th Reich, the Nazi Mafia Coalition, the Great Satan, the United States of America, that they will humor them. Stalin was not a senseless genocidal beast, he was not a tyrant, he literally didn't like the cult of personality forming around him but decided along with his peers insistence that it was good for morale and unifying the country during tough times. Joseph Stalin was a tough but fair revolutionary, a down-to-earth bluehearted stoic who was not afraid of being maligned as a villain by the forces of evil so long as he succeeded in helping the people he loved.

"I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy."

-Joseph Stalin

Lenin was also a selfless, witty, courageous, and resolute hero of giant nads, a giant heart, and a willingness to bear whatever cross to emancipate the world.

Shoutout to the millions of women who were never awarded fame or a position to achieve fame by our patriarchal society, the women who hold the whole sky. Shoutout to Che, Sankara, Mandela, MLK, Deng, Xi, Castro, Un, Huey, Hampton, Assata, Tito, shoutout to the millions of men across Asia and Africa and the Americas and Europe who fought with every fiber of their lifeblood and died horribly by that blood just to try to make the world a better place. I hope we can honor your sacrifice and match even a fraction of it. I hope you know your sacrifice was not in vain no matter how things ultimately turn out. It is an honor to be comrades with such people, the people of diamonds and starlight who cannot be bothered by the threats of the Romans or the English or the French or the Spanish or the Japanese or the Nazis or the United Statesians. Also fuck the Dutch I feel like they don't get enough hate. And the Nords. And the--anyways. Thanks for making my chest swell in emotion for the pride of being a person. God bless you. We have nothing to lose but our chains, mashallah.

[ultfreakme]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "ultfreakme"?

*stares at my 100 bookmarks* *stares at my fandom heap which is somehow messier than my laundry heap*

I shall try my best:

1. Upon Our Silver Bridge by TheWanderingHeart : It's a XiCheng fic and it is, so good. It's a long fic where the character Lan Xichen secludes himself out of grief from being fooled by his best friend for decades and being unknowingly complicit in killing his other best friend, slowly succumbing to an unknown illness that weakens him daily. In this time, Jiang Cheng contacts Lan Xichen through letters and the two slowly fall in love through brief meetings, while learning that Lan Xichen doesn't have much time left and that there is no explanation or cure for his sickness......or is there? (huge spoilers if I say the answer for what the illness is but it's WORTH IT when the final reveal happens. I fucking lost my mind).

2. Picture of the Turning Sphere by omphalos: Another XiCheng fic! So Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen had fought in this battle that led to the destruction of one among five great sects, which causes a great unbalance, resulting in a lot of natural disasters and internal discord across the country. There's a comet that the astrologers everywhere consider inauspicious and to prevent further disaster, Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen are identified to be the most perfect, balanced match to accomplish a bunch of divinely-assigned duties to bring balance back before the comet either hits or passes by the earth. Thing is; Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng are barely friends and they are both depressed as fuck and stressed. But they're forced into these trials and slowly fall in love!

3. The Fast Train to Kyoto by courtingstars (FallingSilver): Oh this series. It is the defining AkaFuri fic series. It basically solidified all the tropes in the ship fandom for me. Furihata is an average student and basketball player and Akashi takes an interest in befirending because of a past incident where he absolutely fucking wrecked the dude's self-confidence and energy mid-match and threatened his bestie with scissors to his eyes. With that eventful first impression, these two slowly begin to meet in the middle. It's about learning to trust and open up, basketball, and there's a touch of magic and mystery to it that's slowly interwoven. It's very atmospheric. Akashi's a rich af dude and his mansion is described in an eerie, distant way that makes it seem like its haunted. Their entire relationship has this undertone of Beauty & The Beast but the castle is weird and Belle has secret unidentifiable and undefined powers that you question if it's even real magic or just, human understanding. Idk it's wild if you like the ship it's a fun read.

4. Into the Sinking Horizon by Silver_Porch: My best friend irl wrote this and it's not complete but I KNOW how this fic goes down we talked about it for months. In my heart, this is complete, I know all the story elements and how it ends and it lives rent free in my head. It's about the Kuroko No Basuke cast but Pirate AU. It's extremely well-researched and well-written. The story start with Akashi, a disillusioned prince who wants to escape his father's control and decides to run away with the captain of their guard, Nijimura. Turns out, Nijimura and his family have been cursed to follow the command of Akashi's family so these two go on a quest across the seven seas to find a way to break the curse with their very own plucky pirate crew! It's awesome, do check it out(and perhaps bully my bestie into continuing it mwahahaha)

5. A Soul's Shape by WingsofaBird: I recently finished this and it is amazing! An ItaJun Junpei loves rewrite that's been done up until Shibuya arc. It is heart-wrenching and a really unique take on what would have happened if Junpei got to go to Jujutsu Tech. It gives a lot of time to Junpei's grief and exemplifies exactly why Junpei had a tough time in school and why Jujutsu Tech and being sorcerer isn't going to be a solution to that. He's grieving, alone, and has no one to rely on. Junpei's character is tragic because he's so unreachable in his loneliness despite not wanting to be because of the systems around him and the loathing the systems have created in himself towards himself.

6. The Silver Answer by enemyofrome: It's a Stucky fic! Anyone here from my stucky days? So the Captain America story is about how Steve got super powers through a serum right? What if he didn't? What if 'Captain America' was an illusion created by a special division which uses stage props and other techniques to make it look like there's a superhuman leading a large division? I love this fic because this is based on a real life division called the Ghost Army who used deception techniques like inflatable tanks, recorded sounds etc to make it look like they had a large division.

I love this because Steve in-canon is always the tank, the strong guy. But he was an artist before that and even without the superhuman abilities, he would have fought tooth and nail against Nazis and this fic shows exactly that.

7. despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) by praximeter (Zimario): This is also Stucky and it is depressing but also good. Lots of warnings apply, author listed them. But basically it's about how The Winter Soldier's mask is driven into his face and a fixture. He has a lot of other body modifications that are extremely dangerous forced upon him. The fic is about how Steve and the rest of the Avengers help him gain back his autonomy and identity. Though it's a stucky fic I really enjoyed the Sam and Bucky interactions best. It's good if you want Stucky ANGST, it's one of the famous fics in the fandom.

8. Wanting by ac_123: Another Junpei lives fic!!! This one is also about Junpei struggling but a whole new take. We get to see him be somewhat at peace and learning to befriend and interact with the rest of the cast. The plot is building up to be something really cool and I love the story where it's at. I love myself some solid character interactions and world-building, and this one gave a lot of depth into how Junpei's powers can work. Every character interaction and dynamic with Junpei is fun to watch.

That's all I can remember for now, sorry I couldn't muster up 10 ;_;I've read hundreds of fics so it's hard for me to pick. It's like, when you have too many options, it feels like you become less able to choose.

As for my username, ah how embarassing for me. So when I made this I was in high school and taking coding classes and really enjoyed it, also I was way too into anime and studied too much(to noa vail like I always got 80% averages) so people called me a nerd. Now, I was the kinda loser that went "correction, I am not a nerd, I'm not smart eough for that, I'm a geek, i.e., someone who's passionate about certain subject". And I was the 'Ult'imate geek.

"But Riki, 'geek' isn't even in your name!"

I hear you. I tried to get 'ultgeekme' as a username but it was already taken. So the only synonym for geek that WASN'T taken was 'freak'. So. ultfreakme.

Bonus: But then literally no one here calls me 'Ult' afaik and I use Riki to refer to myself. 'Riki' is just 'Kiri' from Kirishima from BNHA but I jumbled the order. He was my favorite character and it sounded gender neutral so I liked it.

Hope that covered everything and the fics, if you take interest, are fun to read!

[mocacheezy]

Watched Rise of Beasts with @minoan-ophidian today, so here are some of my scrambled sleepy thoughts (under readmore bcs of spoilers)

Mirage made me cry there near the end, HE CANNOT DIE AFTER ALL THIS. He grew up on me and I started caring about him so quick.

I loved how both Noah and Optimus are just trying to look out for their own people but come together in the end. NOAH AND PRIMAL SAVING PRIME WAS ALSO A MOMENT WHERE I JUST WENT YES

Birb wife died and I really, really hoped she wouldn't. I thought that was cosmic rust or something of the like. Atleast Primal was able to come to terms and make her suffering end.

Speaking of Airrazor, I cannot believe she didn't tell others she has been hurt, like Elena saw it and said it doesn't look good, they probably wouldn't be able to completely reverse it but like... Rhinox or Cheetor could stay with her? Or they would know to watch out for her, instead our poor girl looks like she's corroding and gets brainwashed by Scourge.

Elena asking Primal if the Maximals are responsible for things the ancient civilizations accomplished and him chuckling before saying they had nothing to do with it and can't take credit for human ingenuity/imagination ... I do not remember the exact words, but I am OVER THE MOON LIKE YES!! YES, THE CIVILIZATIONS HAD CONTACT BUT THE ALIENS WEREN'T WHY THEY EXISTED AND CREATED MANY AMAZING THINGS!!! I LOVED THAT!

Primal communicating and trusting the humans, the Maximals being part of the community for 100 of years, being able to trust their safety and the safety of the transwarp key... It made me emotional, especially with how Prime initially reacts to having humans help

It also made me panic a lil when Primal entrusts Noah and Elena with the key, because HE BELIEVES NO HARM WILL COME TO IT. AND NOAH ALMOST DESTROYS IT!!! LIKE!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!!

PRIME DIDN'T DIE THANK FUCK!!! I know these are supposed to be the prequels to Bayverse movies, but honestly? There could be some mumbo jumbo conjured up as to why "he might be dead, or maybe he survived". It's nice there was no need for that.

I wasn't sure Bee was going to come back, and boy am I glad there were those energon deposits on Earth

I did not expect Wheeljack. I forgot he was here, and tbh if his name was smth else that would be perf fine. But eyo.

Nightbird is my love, my life, gender goals, the queen, I am presenting my throat and I would let her slice it willingly like MA'AM. The non-binary energy as soon as she came on screen was yes. Just yes yes yes. Perfection. My she/he/they (ona/on .com) self is ECSTATIC, I love her. If I cosplay transformers in the future she is absolutely one of the characters

Arcee was so gorgeous, my bi heart was all doki doki

Scourge was also super cool and I really enjoyed the interactions with Unicron and how Prime killed him. Fucker deserved it.

Tbh I want to keep going but my eyes are falling shut from all the energy my excitement burned up so lemme just say

GREAT MOVIE!

LOVED IT!

WENT IN WITH NO EXPECTATIONS AND MINIMAL KNOWLEDGE, AND HAD AN AWESOME TIME

If I had to rate it, it would be 9.8/10, with that 0.2 just me wishing the Maximals talked more and that Barney came in frame, said Yeeeesssssss and got punched in the face by Primal. Rattrap would be too powerful if he was in the movie, he would steal all the spotlight off of Mirage, so his absence is understandable.

And @ my slovene peeps, Cineplexx theater is INSANELY GOOD folks, Supernova Rudnik delivered quality experience, 3D očala so izredno prijazna za nas špeglarje. Pokovka je gromozanska, in slushy tasted great.

So yeah, GREAT TIME, I RECCOMEND THE MOVIE, and here are pics of the earrings I made and wore to the cinema!

hey i just got out of the shower but like i will die if i dont tell you this so im a sopping wet beast as i type this, anyway.

i was thinking about the whole "goten names his kid vegeta the 5th" thing and it occured to me, you know what would be even funnier? if he named the kid vegeta the SIXTH (stay w me here im going somewhere)(somewhere stupid but regardless)

and of course trunks finds out and like "what the fuck do you mean the SIXTH?" and hes confused and for a second he thinks maybe goten or palace messed it up on accident or maybe she changed it last second because she thought sixth sounded better (fun fact this is a normal argentinian occurrence it happened to my mom and it happened to messi, sometimes you just name your kid whatever the fuck and dont tell your spouse and have a laugh about it)

but then goten looks at him like he just hit the most devious lick imaginable, and trunks' brain starts whirring;

instead of the usual Bulma Family Logic that would have lead him to something like "hey, goten is weird as shit maybe he already named like a dinosaur after my dad already and wanted to honor that. he's like that" he goes the Vegeta Pride Logic route of "This MOTHERFUCKER is attacking me he is making fun of me and calling ME!! implying I!! AM VEGETA THE 5TH how fucking DARE he." and he gets really pissed off

anyway he would have been wrong either way because they did change it last second cause it sounded cooler, thats how the third world works i dont make the rules

ANYWAY this would cause repercussions such as: trunks calls goten "goku the third" goten is confused. like. what the fuck man. what are you talking about.

you already know who sent this so im not signing off, have a good day, ot whatever time is in los estados unidos de america

Hi. I have to answer this today to honor your evident clairvoyance. How did you know I was THINKING of them today...!

THIS IS SO FUNNY THAT I HAD TO WALK AWAY FOR A WHILE...

What do I even say .. you know them all so well...

THAT TRUNKS WOULD TAKE SUCH ACUTE OFFENSE to the implication that He is Vegeta The Fifth ...

A.) Trunks knows that Goten is Like That and assumes that it's just some silly stupid reason -> B.) "WAIT IS HE INSINUATING THAT IM THE FIFTH ..!??!" -> C.) No it really was a silly stupid reason but not the silly stupid reason that Trunks initially assumed ...

also i dont know how to say this but what the fuck do you mean by "sometimes you just name your kid whatever the fuck and dont tell your spouse and have a laugh about it" EXCUSE ME ??? Promise??That's awesome ................

Trunks shows up at the hospital and sees the black-eyed baby and is like "Oh thank god It's not mine this time. Hey so you can't name it after my dad then. You can't name it 'Vegeta the Fifth' then" and Goten and Palace are like "ok....we won't..." and they huddle around the birth certificate with a pen and start giggling

u have some awesome dreams . give me them👁️ njkhdcjd actually tho of the three i remember u sharing it's interestign that all three involved you being some sort of whimsical creature (i'm counting altsar as a whimsical little beast he's very silly and fun to m e)

WOOO YEAH i love talking about my dreams they are so Strange um putting all of these under the readmore bc. they are so fucked up sometimes SJFLDJFLJSJF these ones are more horror oriented bc those are some of my favorite ones. i am just listing 4 for now, because this post got very long. i can post more of them later maybe. i have a LOT more but these are just semi-recent ones i can access easily.

warning for descriptions of body horror, gore, injury, death, and parasites (big maggot) and images of body horror and parasites.

1: had a dream a was a little victorian boy (like 3 or something) on vacation with my family and we were on a train but oops!!! we got on the demon train by accident. the conductor surgically removed all of the skin off my face, taxidermied it, sewed it back on, and then sent me to a shadow mirror realm for 18 years. i got back to the Real realm and it turns out it had only been 3 years for my family; but they had still all been distorted beyond recognition and made into worse versions of themselves. my father had turned into a weird goat man, my mother resembled a deep sea fish, and i couldn't remember what happened to my sister or brother. they also didn't recognize me because i had aged 18 years. the rest of the dream was me trying to reverse their transformations.

2: had another one in which i was trapped in an extra-dimensional liminal space that changed and grew as i explored it. It had video game physics which is always fun. when i walked there was view-bobbing and my hands were always visible in front of me, like a first person shooter. i could also sprint jump and b-hop and side sprint and stuff like that. there were also small creatures that latched onto me and tried to kill me, but my hands were extremely lethal (they caused instant burning pain to whatever they touched, and if i pressed my hands against a living thing it would 'melt') so i was able to fend them off. this meant i was basically unbeatable, but could still be hurt.

^this is vaguely what i looked like. i could only see my hands but i'm pretty sure the rest of me wasn't 100% human. i'll draw something better later maybe.

3. a more tame one i had recently was i got trapped in a fantasy video game by accident and ended up in a village that used pinecones as currency. so i had to grow pine trees. and then this other guy started growing saplings on MY farm plot and i was PISSED. he showed me his farming techniques though so i let him stay. time passed very quickly, each hour was a new season, so four hours was a 'year'. i did not realize the implications of this until about two weeks (about 80 'years') had passed. the npc villagers started aging and disappearing and the guy who i planted trees with turned to face me and his face was rotting away. he told me i took too long.

4. less tame one. I had a giant maggot parasite that replaced all of my organs and it tried to control me via telepathic mind battle?? but. i won the telepathic mind battle. so now i WAS the maggot. and i was piloting my own body with weird nerve things and instead of organs there was just a giant maggot in my abdomen but i WAS the maggot and i could feel myself inside of myself. it was like if you could feel your organs against the inside of your skin. incredibly unpleasant sensation. i had to hide the fact that i was a maggot because usually the maggot wins the psychic mind battle and kills people so if my doctors found out i had a maggot parasite in me they would kill me.

^diagram of parasite in the body. the red is the 'nerves' used to control the body. the brain of the host and parasite become merged, which is how i 'became' the maggot. the maggot could also like. climb up the throat and peek its head out of the host's mouth to maul people with its fangs.

Actually please tell me about the assassins. Like why do people hate zato

of course always i love the assassins everyone is always free to ask me about the assassins theyre awesome and swag and modern gg loves to forget they have a fuck ton of lore and like a whole organization that basically ran the world for years? hysterical. like the assassins guild losing their grip on completely running politics only rlly faded out w ericas presidency and when venom took over cus well. venom. pwab. it was a whole thing. i just think its so funny they truly are just not talked about anymore.

anyways zato talk below cut the Attempted Child Murder Count is 2 btw if ur counting. 1/2 success rate on murdering children zato. tehy call him that.

anyways zato! i know him. im like . at a loss where to even start why people hate him. like first off he was Completely different before he died- xrd on Zato is not rlly the same character at all compared to who he was before, which was a power hungry freak of a man who turned the guild from slayers intentions of u know the whole dandy fun time to basically just killers for hire completely. awesome zato moments include: murdering baldheads patient, taking a contract to murder an infant, taking in orphans to make them in his own image (see: millia and venom), (possibly forcing Angra upon millia? she did only activate the spell 2 years after joining the guild and well its implied she was Young and presumably didn't really know what would happen. this ones just speculation but the timeline always leads me to ponder that one), uhhh agreeing to join a tournament because hes told millia will be there and he wants nothing more than to murder her. normal stuff. this is all pregame stuff too. i dunno i think the grooming two kids who viewed him as their only savior and idol in the world into becoming murderers and forcing them to fight each other is a bit hate worthy . good on millia for turning him over to the cops she should do this again. acab and all but put that fucker back in his void prison for the third time.

the main thing about zato is he just kind of sucks and ruins the lives of everyone hes impacted. id say millia is the most obvious example of this but like fuck look at XX era eddie, forbidden beasts (well. at least eddie they refuse to give more lore on the beasts and im suffering for it) incubate within their hosts and learn from them. eddie is the way he is Because Zato was the one who hosted him. and eddie even partially resents his impact in some of the endings, a lot of them focus on the struggle of eddie wanting to be viewed as his own person outside of zato (something something millia parallels this will never ever be relevant again now that eddie is literally Just a dog lol thanks xrd on) (in general i could also go on about how all 3 of the assassins eddie venom and millia all completely and utterly think of themselves as weapons because of zato but)

i could go on forever. honestly. i fucking hate zato. <- kind of a lie i really like his character and what he represents for the assassins <- this is also a lie i think what strive is doing with him is the worst most cruel shit and makes me so mad. anyways zato sucks.

also hes a spaniard.
