Ted for the ask game?

World’s worst bisexual older brother! Hell yeah!

Putting him in by Blorbo’s Box

He’s just the most character ever. He’s been through so much. Did he deserve it??? Eh, in some timelines, sure. And “Shhh, canon doesn’t exist,” he isn’t doomed in every timeline and he has at least a pretty good relationship with Peter

About moray sketches, Idia’s little affair with Sebastian, drawing and art and other things.

Morays are so derpy

They really are… the more I look at them the more obsessed I get lol those silly faces

Anonymous asked:

Those eels are so goofy-looking. Are they your favorite sea creature? If not, then what?

Thank you, Anon!

To be honest, I don’t think I have a favourite sea creature. For now, due to my love for the Octa-trio, I have a big soft spot for moral eels and octopuses. A couple of years ago we had a phase during which we read a lot about sharks. The fact that baby sharks are called pups!! I’m still obsessed with this fact.

In general, sea is fascinating and truly beautiful, but it was never really my thing, so I don’t know much about different kinds of creatures… Should definitely work on that 🤔

OOoo Sebastián if Ciel finds out you're in troubleee

HEHE YES even though we still aren’t back to our Kuroshitsuji era and I just replied about it the other day… The desire to ship these two was sudden but too strong to resist.

I think Ciel would just roll his eyes to be honest, maybe he would get a bit disgusted… but overall, the whole thing probably happened due to their investigation, so he shouldn’t complain. Or is it jealousy that sours his mood?~

Idia’s hips are so deliciously grabbable. Grabbing them, nibbling them, groping them, hmmm.

And with how thin he is one would think that he would be too sharp around the edges to probably grab. But I guess his bones make him easier to grab… Cute!

Anonymous asked:

The way Idia looks in the last panel…..I don’t think I would be able to resist going back and “interrogating” him more, perhaps all day even. I’m very dedicated, what can I say? 😔

What a hardworking person you are! This is truly inspiring.

I think the more you “interrogate” Idia, the more “interrogatable” he looks… this is magical.

I’ve come to a realization that I’ve only ever seen one thing drawn of Leona and I need to see more of the lazy lion man 😭

Omg you’re right, we only posted him once (not counting a chibi drawing + fem!Leona in a big genderswap post). It’s so funny, I feel like I draw him every now and then because of commissions (thank you, everyone orz), but at the end of a day we barely have anything Leona-related. The only character less lucky than him is probably poor Cater…

To be completely honest, Leona just isn’t usually on my radar, and even though I sketch him sometimes, those sketches rarely get finished and are mostly posted on ko-fi. Sorry 😔

Anonymous asked:

my god, imagine a more messed up alternate universe where the Asim family had a "last one standing" competition to decide the successor... The head of the family dies and suddenly Kalim is put against his siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts, ecc. He would be so bummed out. As soon as he says "Jamil, I think we'll have to kill my family" Jamil just starts crying from joy. Yes! Let's kill all these rich people! And also make you the new head, that would be cool I guess...

AAAH honestly Anon it would be such an interesting story to read and/or watch. Kalim would probably consider giving up multiple times, but ultimately decide against it because he doesn’t really want to die either lol

To Jamil it would absolutely be a joy though. I think some of Kalim’s relatives would try to bribe him out of helping Kalim though, “kill him in his sleep and we will give you a better life” type of deal. But Jamil would refuse~ Not because he’s loyal to Kalim or anything, of course of course.

Since that other anon asked about Epel might as well join in: Jack and Epel. I can see Epel looking up to Jack because "Oh strong muscle man, wanna be like him" so of course Jack being the goodest boy that he is would help Epel train... in more ways than one ;)

Anon, this ship is so good visually with the size difference and all, and Epel salivating at the thought of Jack’s muscles because he really wants to have muscles himself (in reality he is just attracted to Jack) is such a good idea, and we absolutely see its potential… but unfortunately somehow they don’t click with us just yet. Maybe it’s because it feels too fluffy, with Epel getting in trouble and Jack getting him out of trouble? Maybe we’re missing this spice because we haven’t seen a lot of their interactions. Only time will tell…

Nothing against it of course though! Epel should get railed by a big wolf man.

Isaac Clarke somehow ended up with the Mandalorians again. I swear I didn't mean for this to happen again.

Fuck, I'm back at it again.

Another Star Wars x Dead Space crossover, this time it’s the original thought process! (I lied, it's the original era I had in mind but not the same thought process.)

So Isaac once again manages to get stuck in a galaxy far far away, only this time it's the prequel era, I’m thinking of the Clone Wars era.

If he’s in Mandalore then he could be mistaken for a new type of Mandalorian or knock off version that neither Death Watch or the New Mandalorians want. The True Mandalorians probably would have mixed feelings, he could be an asset but he’s an unknown party that doesn’t even seem to want to be involved and knows nothing about them despite looking like the Wish version of them. Maybe he accidentally gets involved with their plot, honestly I can’t see him helping Death Watch, the only way they could get him to help would be tricking him but not only do I think they wouldn’t want to be associated with Isaac but also because I think Isaac wouldn’t get tricked that easily by them. Then again, he did go to the Ishimura for his dead girlfriend who he thought was alive, but that was because of the Marker’s influence so that’s a pass. He probably would help the True Mandalorians since the New Mandalorians don’t like armor or violence which would suck for Isaac who just committed a massacre. The mental images of a blood stained Isaac appearing in a crowd of New Mandalorians is hilarious.

If he does get involved with all the Mandalorians jazz that goes on then he can do the other stuff after. Now I wanna expand on Isaac and the Mandalorians. Shootdangit. (Yes, I do mean that to be one word, that’s how I say it irl)

So focusing on this now, Isaac could (should) probably be placed before Jaster’s death (romance? No, not again. Stop giving me potential old men yaoi material. It’s not my fault they wear helmets). Man accidentally stops Jaster’s death if he ended up before it happens, but also consider this, if it’s after then Jango is parentless, Isaac is parentless, Isaac can become a bad influence on this kid. I’m not saying Jango should get adopted by Isaac cause they both now have problems they need to deal with at the moment to even think about that type of thing, but Jango picking up Isaac’s habits is funny to think of. Jango just curb stops everything, and learns curses from Isaac which would be headturners in this universe since they don’t exist, but please let someone say fuck. Jaster doesn’t need to die to have Isaac influencing Jango, I think he could get along with Isaac and understand where he’s coming from and why he’s confused and likely panicked. I was gonna say that maybe Isaac could try and fight Death Watch before Jango’s parents die but I don’t want to deal with the effect that would happen so Jango, it’s easier with Jaster since you still keep the connections and all that but also see how much the years have worn on them. Isaac needs someone to help him learn, if it’s between the three factions then the True Mandalorians.

HOLY SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED ARLA

I was writing a part later in this rant and remembered her and had an idea, Isaac saves Arla before meeting Jaster and Jango and basically adopts her, that or gives her to Jaster. I don’t care if Jaster isn’t their dad in either of the canons, he can be if I will it! I have the power over the canon of MY fic/rant, fuck you Star Wars writers! (jk, I love star wars, just not the crap in this Disney era, some was good tho.) Anyway, if Arla just kinda forces Isaac to adopt her or if something that happens subconsciously then both her and Jango can compete against each other about who has the better dad. Isaac is somehow getting by and Jaster has already been raising this boy for years up until now, you would think that Jaster would win but Isaac has some things on Jaster, like his weapons and modules and literally everything he possesses because I am very willing to bring up the crap his RIG can do. He can store information of different kinds, has a navigation system that has both a map and guide to show him where he needs to go and can store things of all kinds in it, he can survive in space with it and knows how long he can last AND not only walk on any surface while in the vacuum of space but also move however he wants. You can argue the Mandalorians can use their Jetpacks to do the same but my man’s abilities have not been hindered, he weapons all still work the same and so do his modules, the only thing holding him back is the fact he has limited air at a time and has only fought the Necromorphs. This is ignoring the other features the RIG has. Fuck you, he can hold his own decently by my standards which admittedly are not that high. Anyway, the sibling rivalry is real, one of them has a dad who was and is seen by them as the Mand’alor and this deeply traumatized man who only a few days ago just wanted to save his (dead) girlfriend.

Anyway, if he meets a different faction, he could meet the Children of the Watch. In my last rant of ideas with him in the Mandalorian, I had him co-parenting Grogu with Din, in this one Isaac can become a parent again but instead of Grogu it’s Din this time. He could either appear with the Children of the Watch a little before they rescue him or he could appear as they arrive to help. Either way, we can get Din getting raised by Isaac and him reluctantly becoming a parent, once again he could teach him curse words, have people say fuck in Star Wars, it’s fucking funny. I can’t see Isaac becoming a Mandalorian but I can see him having either good or neutral relations with them, some would like him and maybe befriend him for his winning personality but others may just like him for jobs they need done. Anyway, he could have connections to the Mandalorians and somewhat raise Din in that lifestyle, maybe just have it influence him so if he really wants to he could become one in the future. I could see him wanting to because they’re the closest thing to Isaac in the fact that they wear armor all the time and are warriors, he doesn’t need to know Isaac is just running on adrenaline while on fight or flight mode. Imagine his surprise when he finds out Isaac doesn’t actually know what makes a Mandalorian and the fact he’s just an Engineer and his one of a kind weapons are just tools he found, Din doesn’t need to find out about the Necromorphs until he’s older, hell maybe not at all. Point is that he could just have an accidental baby acquisition fic with him fumbling and eventually going into hiding as the Empire forms. Maybe we see his reaction to the Great Purge, maybe he helped a few of the few he was close to, maybe he finds out after it happened by a Mandalorian friend he had that he comforts, maybe he helped a few clans escape, maybe he was there and saw so many die, maybe he was hiding as he saw the terror unfold, either way he would be devastated at the amount of people he knew and their sudden deaths. He could help keep contact between clans since he isn’t Mandalorian and doesn’t look like one, either way he would be an asset to them after the Purge.

Another thing I want to briefly mention here is him meeting Revan, not long but just a little thought. If he went to the Old Republic and met Revan then he would be so confused if he stuck with him or had any form of contact with him. I love Revan and all but for someone like Isaac who has no idea what a Mandalorian, Jedi and Sith are he would be confused as hell to meet him, my man Revan has been all three. I just want to see how confused Isaac can get with Revan.

Anyway, Old Men Yaoi time™! I think I just like shipping masked men with masked men but still. Just like the last rant with the Mandalorian, this is just an excuse to have the two co-parent Jango and Arla. Maybe Arla does become Isaac’s kid and her and Jango think that since they’re both siblings and they both have their own dad that it only makes sense if they finalize it by getting them together. Basically they Parent Trap Jaster and Isaac, maybe the other True Mandalorians help or start a betting pool, some could try and sabotage it so they win said betting pool. Isaac could ask some of the parents of the group about tips in raising a child to which some could point him to Jaster if they’re trying to help get them together since he’s raising her brother, or if they’re trying to stall then they either will give him advice or warn him not to ask Jaster since he might become a father for Arla instead of him. I don’t think Isaac sees this as a problem because he knows they both have shit they have to deal with and he’s sure that he can’t be a proper father figure for her and does go to Jaster regardless who could give him good insight. Jaster could already have a thing for Isaac for saving Arla, his son’s sister who they thought was dead, and saving his life either before or after meeting the True Mandalorians, Isaac could’ve barely found them in time to save Jaster, maybe give him some medpacks so he doesn’t die. This could lead to him admiring or respecting Isaac to keep it platonic or have it also cause him to develop a crush on him and eventually develop as they talk more and get closer, add in the fact he’s raising the sister of your son and it’s already a done deal for Jaster, he will be too far gone while Isaac is hesitant as hell. I would like to say it’s one of those ‘Blank fell first but Blank fell faster’ but if they fell for eachother then it’s ‘Jaster fell fast and hard while Isaac is slowly walking down a slope at a snail’s pace.’ or alternatively, ‘Jaster fell fast and hard while Isaac is slowly climbing down like he has acrophobia.’

Anyway, this derailed again, it was originally gonna just be Isaac fumbling his way through the Clone Wars and somehow helping resolve it, y’know like other crossovers that are just fix-its and have goofy interactions with the characters but it once again ended up with Isaac getting caught up with the Mandalorians. You can see how my views changed as I went on. I need to stop, get me out the kitchen, this ain’t what I meant to cook.

Trimax Vol 10 Ch 1-4

Hey guys, how are we doing with volume 10? I had to go lie down on my bed face down multiple times while reading this so....that's how we're doing over here. A good chunk of this is me screaming incoherently. Apologies for the overuse of exclamation points and all caps. I'm deeply unwell about all of this.

Ch 1

Wolfwood's never ending belief in Vash just!!! Wolfwood is a man without faith. But not anymore; now he has faith in Vash.

As he reaffirms his beliefs, he remembers Vash telling him that he gives up hope too easily. Suddenly, now that I know a whole lot more about Wolfwood, that line hits differently. People have said it before but until now I didn’t get how cruel of a thing that was for Vash to say to Wolfwood. He couldn’t know the thing Wolfwood did out of a desperate hope to protect the orphanage. And look at him now, not sure if Vash can defeat Knives, but he has enough hope that he might be able to that he won’t stop fighting. 

Wolfwood won’t give up because Vash has never given up!!! He’s taken on so many of Vash’s ideals, I can’t deal with this. 

Razlo tries to stop Chapel from killing Wolfwood because of how Livio cares about him and I think it’s an interesting moment. It shows us that for all of Razlo’s insatiable bloodlust, he’s concerned with what Livio thinks. He’s certainly not eager to kill Wolfwood and that’s an interesting chink in his armor, since he’s never hesitated to kill anyone before, even if it’s just because he’s suggesting they drag out Wolfwood’s final moments longer. 

Sidenote: oh my fucking god, I’m an idiot. I’ve been making jokes about Wolfwood’s magically appearing handguns for volumes. He’s not pulling them out of his tits, he just has a shoulder holster, like a proper gunman. 

I wanna kill Chapel with my bare hands!!! He’s taking way too much pleasure from shooting Wolfwood over and over again. 

So, Wolfwood hasn’t used his vials because he doesn’t think he’s going to die yet. That’s…yeah, that’s making me feel some things alright. First of all, I’ll say it again, Wolfwood is an incredibly smart fighter. He knows how to fight even while injured and in immense amounts of pain. He couldn’t stand up against Razlo at first, but he took it as an opportunity to learn how Razlo fights and find his weakness, so he could use it against him later. Chapel tells Razlo to stop underestimating him, but I think up until now, Chapel has been doing the same damn thing. 

Second of all, I know where this is going and I :) don’t :) like :) it :) 

Ch 2

Sworn friend? I sure hope that’s Vash because that cover image is going to kill me. Wolfwood’s been STABBED. By a GUN. 

Oh, cool, so Razlo confirms that Chapel is unhealthily obsessed with his students and making them into the perfect weapons for the Eye—morally and physically. He’s truly the abusive father figure of this story.

Well, that explains why Razlo’s been kicked out of the Eye. Killing nine other members in a murder spree will do that.

You know what? Chapel begging for Razlo’s life to be spared might honestly be the kindest thing anyone has ever done for him. It’s no wonder he’s so devoted to Chapel. When everyone else treats you like shit, the guy who shoots himself and begs the council to take mercy on you becomes someone incredibly special, even if he is absolutely insane otherwise.

Huh? When did Ms. Melanie and the kids get outside? I thought they were locked in a cellar. Did some of the other mercenaries bring them up on Chapel’s signal so he could torment Wolfwood more.

Awww, the kids don’t want to leave Ms. Melanie by herself! They care about her and each other so much. This is where Wolfwood gets all his love and caring from. 

Chapel is an evil, evil motherfucker. We know that already, but this moment? Oh, the rage I’m experiencing. He’s playing on Wolfwood's worst nightmare, going all the way back to that dream he had where he tried to hold the kids but couldn’t because there was so much blood on his hands. Chapel went and made that real. He shows Wolfwood’s face to Ms. Melanie, while he’s covered in blood, and lets them know all the terrible things he’s done. Ms. Melanie doesn’t need to say anything. The guilt Wolfwood carries will be enough to bring him low. Chapel knows his student and his weakness so well, and he twists until it hurts. 

ARGH MS. MELANIE DON’T MAKE ME CRY. 

This is Wolfwood’s worst nightmare, but she’s not reacting with disgust or hatred! She isn’t looking away from him! The way she says, “You foolish boy, you tried doing everything on your own again.” It’s so sad, but it’s so fond. She still loves him! She wishes he’d come home earlier! It’s still a painful realization for Wolfwood to have, that he would’ve been welcomed back, but it’s also, maybe, a shock and a relief. 

Also, “You’ve always had so many stubborn ideals and were never one to compromise.” NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD THESIS STATEMENT RIGHT HERE. It’s what got him into this mess after all! 

Oh my god Wolfwood! No!!!! Don’t look down on yourself now!!! Ms. Melanie’s right! You  came when you were needed!

AND HE’S THINKING ABOUT VASH AGAIN.

When he’s losing hope, he always thinks of Vash. And he realizes that maybe he should’ve asked him here. Because they work so well together, they could’ve taken out Chapel and Livio and saved everyone! IF ONLY HE HADN’T INSISTED ON DOING EVERYTHING ON HIS OWN. 

“I made a friend. He ain’t as dumb as I am.” Wolfwood, I appreciate your whole-hearted belief in Vash but that man is just as stupid as you are and probably would’ve also run straight into danger without asking for help. You two are just peas in a pod. 

“We could’ve done this as a team.” Yes!!!! Because everything’s different when you’re back to back with him!!! Vash and Wolfwood are a battle couple and when they are together, they’re unstoppable. Wish you’d realized this sooner!!!!

Hey, did Wolfwood just grab all of Chapel’s vials with his mouth? Wolfwood is the king of making batshit insane moves in the span of like three seconds because that was a small opening he had before Chapel shot him or the kids.

A mysterious shuttle appears at the eleventh hour?

IT’S VASH!!! VASH CAME TO HELP HIM!!!

And look at Vash, using his powers to protect people! Not only that, to protect the people Wolfwood cares about!

Ch 3

Wolfwood, come on. You were just thinking about how you and Vash could’ve easily handled this as a team. 

Wolfwood’s self-hatred is blinding him so much he can’t even figure out why Vash would come. Just as Wolfwood considers Vash his friend, Vash thinks the same of him. He’s shown time and time again that he’ll help people in a tough spot. Why not you, Wolfwood? Why don’t you deserve that same kind of care? 

This battle is important to Wolfwood and that’s why it matters to Vash. But of course, the tragedy of it all is that Wolfwood can’t see how much Vash cares about him and admires him because he hates himself too much to even allow love in from someone else. 

And with that thought, it’s time to break out the tissues. 

Razlo’s like, “Ooooh, a worthy opponent? Time to absolutely lose my shit!” 

So, on my first read, I somehow didn’t catch that Wolfwood drank two vials at once when he stole Chapel’s pouch and I was VERY confused for the rest of this volume. Now, however, I’m rolling on the floor sobbing. 

He knows how dangerous this is and how it’ll probably end. But he does it because he thinks he’s going to die anyway. He’s come to the point where he’s not scared of death, and he’d rather go down protecting what he loves than live to see it ruined. 

“If we survive this, drinks are on me.” This line is some horrible foreshadowing, okay. I’m just…I think I need to go take some deep breaths. 

Did Wolfwood just toss Chapel like a log? That’s WILD. Razlo actually gets distracted by it! Then again, he’s so devoted to Chapel that the idea of him dying or being defeated must be pretty tough to deal with.

Wolfwood grabs Punisher again but also, he stops just long enough in the middle of battle to put his glasses back on. He’s hiding. From himself, from everyone at the orphanage, maybe even a little from Vash. He doesn’t want anyone to see what he’s about to become, what he’s about to do. 

There’s been a couple times where I’ve wondered if Vash could read Wolfwood’s mind a little with his telepathic Plant powers and this is another moment. But I actually like to read this as Vash knows him so well that he realizes this himself, because that just hits harder. 

OH. I missed that. Wolfwood killed Chapel. Snapped him like a twig even. 

Razlo is actually so…lonely. The only person who’s ever been kind to him was an equally unhinged cult leader and now he’s dead. And all Razlo knows is violence, so that’s how he responds. As always, Nightow makes me feel so much sympathy for what should be the most villainous of characters. (Except Chapel, that’s the exception that proves the rule here)

Vash and Wolfwood executing insane maneuvers when they fight together because they’re so synced up!!! Certified battle couple. 

Wolfwood lighting a cigarette in the middle of a fight after performing some insane moves is so on brand for him. 

This last interaction is so funny and so them. They don’t know how to use their words! They slap at each other like five year olds and Vash can’t even tell Wolfwood he’s here because he cares about him and wants to help. WHY ARE THEY SO STUPID.

Ch 4

Wolfwood is starting to talk like Vash. The reminiscing about times past, pushing away the help people are offering him—it reminds me of Vash right before he got on the Ark. 

It’s so not like him that it even scares Vash, who tries to remind him that has to live. He’s always wanted to live, right?

Well, except, Wolfwood has finally found what he’s willing to die for. He’s already made the decision. Vash just doesn’t know that yet, and that makes what would usually be a light, bantery scene between them incredibly heavy and so hard to read. 

And Vash, goddammit, he still thinks this is Wolfwood giving up! It’s not, at least not in the way he thinks. Wolfwood is more determined than ever. He hasn’t given up hope. He’s taken all his hope and placed it on Vash, and left none of it for himself. 

“What is important? What are you willing to do to protect it?” → Trigun thesis statement. That’s what the story is all about! The worst part is Vash realizing too late what he would do to protect Wolfwood. 

When Vash really, truly fears that he might lose Wolfwood, that’s the first time he realizes how much he needs and wants him. How badly he wants to survive and see a tomorrow with him. Except, it’s heart-wrenching, because it’s already too late by the time he finally realizes this. Vash has finally found something worth living for and Wolfwood has finally found something worth dying for. How ironic that it’s each other. They’re like ships passing in the night, their lives and wants intersecting for only the briefest of moments before being torn apart.

Just as Vash thinks all of this, he catches Wolfwood. Look how tightly he holds on to him, his fingers pressing into Wolfwood’s skin. He uses his body to shield him, barely noticing the blades in his shoulder. He’s so overcome by what he’s realized, but also that he’s about to lose it all.

Look at the reluctance when he lets go of him. He doesn’t want to, he wants to hold on to him. But Vash would never disrespect Wolfwood’s choices. He knows how much it means to him to be able to do this on his own terms. So no matter how much it hurts him, he lets go. But there is rage in his eyes, an expression that is so alien on Vash, who has always been so in control of his anger. He hates that he has to do this and he hates that it’s this that’s causing it, and he won’t hold back anymore. 

Not the bird symbolism. Because Wolfwood has finally found his freedom in his willingness to accept death.

And Vash beneath it, with his face obscured looking up into the sky, but hunched over beneath the weight of his grief and anguish as he walks away from Wolfwood. God, this image is so powerful.

In a universe where Rhaegar wins and Jon becomes a Targaryen prince, how do you think the family dynamics will be between the siblings + Rhaegar/Lyanna/Elia? Really interested in your opinion on this

Um. Bad?

aksjdjdj. The last blackfyre rebellion wasn’t that long ago not to mention Egg wasn’t too fond of Brynden so I think in general, Westeros is just incredibly wary of boy bastards who are castle raised. And even if Rhaegar does some plural marriage stuff, I do think there will be some bastard stigma still attached to Jon regardless.

Bigamy has not been done by the Targaryens since Maegor the Cruel. THE CRUEL. Not a great precedent here.

The last Targaryen who worshiped the old gods was Bloodraven, which is again, not a super great precedent to be invoking.

The Faith is in general pretty shitty about bigamy.

There were rumors that Daemon Blackfyre wanted to do some old school Valyrian stuff like marry Daenerys, take a second bride, etc., and considering all that shit went, once again, bringing to mind Daemmy B. is just a colossally bad idea

Also, “winning” in this situation means Rhaegar has at minimum killed Robert & Jon Arryn, and sent Ned to the Wall (but honestly probably offed him too), and Lyanna has walked into a situation where almost her entire family was killed by Rhaegar’s. Benjen is probably feeling some type of way. Storm’s End is probably still in a siege, because even after Robert dies, I simply cannot see Stannis giving up, because he simply has to trust that they won’t slaughter him and Renly for rebelling and he's not going to trust in that after Aerys and Rhaegar murdered so many Lords without a good reason. Jaime has killed Aerys (but protected Elia & the babies). Elia has spent months as a hostage, only for Rhaegar to come back MARRIED AGAIN with ANOTHER SON.

it’s a mess. an a tricky, unsure situation. rhaegar winning the war doesn’t mean the kingdom is back together. this one is so much different than the blackfyres or the dance because people had real, legit concerns with his father beyond succession or "but I wanna be king wahh!" rhaegar (and rhaella!) completely blow past those very rational, legitimate fears just to say “we’re in charge bitch.” it’s going to make for a very unhappy populace and a very uneasy peace. it’s going to make the situation between his children incredibly tense & toxic. So…..

I get stuck here a bit. Lyanna IS a child and not at fault for anything that happens and I will die on that hill with my head held high but the rest of the realm will not see it that way. I’m unsure if Elia would either. I would like to think they’d have a similar relationship that Naerys & Melly Blackwood had, wherein Naerys doesn’t hold it against Melly that her father sold her virginity to the King because Melly is kind to her (and probably fairly young) and Melly grows fond of the sad, sickly, sweet Queen that is just trying to survive the humiliation being heaped onto her. But this is a different situation - Lyanna isn’t a mistress, she’s a wife. An equal. Her son, like Maegor, like Aegon II, like Jacaerys, is a tiny bit of a threat to Elia’s. While fostering love & acceptance between the three is the ONLY correct and moral choice, I don’t know how likely it is. Rhaegar has a lot to deal with, and since Jon is not Visenya, I think Rhaegar probably feels a bit duped - he did everything right to have his third head of the dragon and yet he was given a boy that looks nothing like him. Lyanna probably feels very alone. Elia feels incredibly betrayed and bitter. And there’s likely a large Dornish faction at court pushing Lyanna out in this scenario because I’m not totally sure how the North is going to react to all this, so I don’t know if Benjen sends a Northern faction down South to look after her or just washes his hands of the whole thing (would Rhaegar even allow them at court after half the Starks were in open rebellion? What does court look like in the face of a justified rebellion that is snuffed out?).

Anyways, I think even best case scenario, this is a really fucked up situation that is going to lead to a lot of strife. My money is on Lyanna and Jon spending most of their time on Dragonstone or straight up holed up in their own separate apartments, away from Court and trying to lay low. I think they’d be heavily traumatized, and have terrible attachment issues probably on par with Rhaenyra/Aegon. I think Elia becomes close with Jaime because of the incredible risk he took trying to protect her, and since Tywin doesn’t sack the city, I think there’s a not unlikely chance Elia tries to bring the Martells closer to the Lannisters politically because of it. Tywin & Cersei probably won’t like that but I think Tyrion might fare a bit better if Elia sees use in befriending Jaime’s little brother and the technical heir to Casterly Rock (and i’m not saying dorne is a egalitarian, no ableism paradise - oberyn in my opinion steps over the line with tyrion - but considering the use of a wheelchair for Doran and the comments about Elia being not to healthy, I think they’re a little more accommodating of disability, which means Elia is simply pragmatic enough to look at Tyrion and see an opportunity. I think).

Elia, Rhaenys, and Aegon come out of things fine. Elia looks after Viserys and Daenerys and probably they come out better. But Lyanna and Jon are in their worst case scenario here without Ned to protect them and with Jon as a threat to Aegon's claim. So what I want to say is that Elia sees this as a Naerys/Melly situation and takes Lyanna under her wing, protecting her from the whispers at court about how she's a grasping, upjumped whore who worships strange, silent gods. She would take in Jon (probably called Aemon) and encourage a closeness between the three children, comforting Jon when he feels out of place by pointing out that Rhaenys also doesn't look like a Targaryen. That Elia would caution forgiveness for Lyanna's sake, and encourage Rhaegar to have a Northern faction at court to support Lyanna - even if it's literally just a handful of ladies and knights to remind her of home - and to forgive Stannis and Renly, to name Stannis as Lord of Storm's End and make promises of peace, that Aerys had stepped over the line and Rhaegar has taken a wife from the North and a wife from Dorne to ensure that doesn't happen again, that they will call a Great Council to discuss together perhaps having a larger small council that can counteract the King.

But I think in reality it's likely that Elia attempts to freeze Lyanna and Jon out and they are both perfectly happy sticking to Dragonstone and ignoring everyone.

hi idk if u “take requests” or anything but if u do or r looking for some inspo im dying for some content that shows simon just loving wille specifically smth like a worried protective simon !! or smth where they’re both protective of each other i just rlly want some good Simon being obsessed and fond and besotted w wille (id also love jealous simon if u like that but more like lighthearted jealousy—a possessiveness that doesn’t come from insecurity but just bc he wants wille to be his) if not a fic then a headcanon or j ur thoughts idk just anything w ur writing

hi!! I'm so totally open for requests or inspo! it's not often I get requests, but never hesitate to reach out if you ever have any more because i honestly love doing them. i think i can definitely get something in the works with a worried, protective simon being utterly besotted for his boy <3 i'm basically on yr brain rot right now, so i'd keep a look out for something soon!!

but to tide you over until then, here's some silly jealousy/being-protective-over-their-relationship headcanons for the boys:

wille is definitely more of a pouty, tinker bell "give me attention or i die" kind of jealous. but like, it doesn't bug him if simon is hanging out with someone else or if he's having a conversation with one of their classmates while wille sits next to him. instead, wille gets pouty when inanimate objects are getting more attention that him. he gets all "you haven't kissed me in an hour :((" or "stop writing things down, i wanna hold your hand" or "don't mind me, i'm just gonna lie across your lap while you play video games"

simon has a habit of like,, immediately giving in to wille's sad "pay attention to me" eyes, so he's started instituting rules that they're not allowed to study together anymore because damnit how did we end up cuddling in bed AGAIN, we have a test tomorrow

(wille also has a possessive side that rears its head every once in a while. sometimes he purposefully litters hickeys on simon's neck that are VERY visible to everyone, or he'll make a point to switch out simon's sweater for his own while their in the locker room. on one memorable occassion, they'd run into marcus in bjarstad and holy moly did wille make a show of tucking simon close to him with an arm securely around his waist that didn't move the rest of the time, save for when he slipped his hand into simon's back pocket)

simon, on the other hand, tries really hard not to get jealous. he doesn't want to be possessive and he doesn't want to seem needy, and he doesn't want to let himself repeat what happened last time he got jealous (read: attacking wille via dodgeball). but at the same time, like, he never thought he'd get to actually have wille. it had felt like the world came crashing down around him when wille denied the video, and he never thought they'd be able to find their way back to each other

when they actually were able to overcome everything and date for real and be in love out in the open, simon felt like he was floating on clouds for w e e k s. wille loved him and didn't want it to be a secret and this boy, the crown prince of sweden, was HIS

so even though simon doesn't want to be jealous, when something you've hoped for and wanted for so long finally gets to be yours, it's natural that you get, well. a little protective over it

so maybe sometimes he notices the smirk nils gives wille and less than subtly makes home in wille's lap. or maybe he notices that the latest phone call with the queen has wille's hackles up and pulls him into the music room to play him a little melody on the piano. or he pretends not to notice the way wille blantanly puts his hand in simon's pocket while marcus stands across the room because the show of affection makes his heart beat faster. and maybe he saves most of his own affection for behind closed doors and curtains because that smile wille gets belongs to him and if the whole world was able to see what wille looks like when he's happy and carefree then everyone else would fall in love with him too and wille is HIS goddamn it

both of them are 100%, all in, would rather die than give this up when it comes to their relationship, even if they know they’re still young and have a lifetime ahead of them. they’re utterly besotted and hopelessly in love and just want to spend their lives wrapped up in each other. they really just want to protect what they have, but they don’t let jealousy or possessiveness or anything get the better of them because they trust and love each other <3

fuck marry kill ethan jim claire

Thank you so much for this ask u understand me and my fixations. I have given this a lot of thought and the only answer I can give is the most basic one: fuck Claire, marry Ethan, kill Jim

My reasoning is…I can’t fuck Ethan because he’s deep in the throes of the honeypot trauma and it would be deeply unfun for him. Claire on the other hand has probably not had good sex with an enthusiastic and attentive partner for a very very long time. So even though she still probably has baggage in that area…who doesn’t. It’ll be good. Then I’ll let her go continue the cycles of abuse

Ethan doesn’t have Claire’s sheer level of wife trauma. However he does have quite a bit of collective seduction/manipulation/spousification trauma from being jim’s claire replacement and claire’s jim replacement all at once. So I’d want to give him space. Honestly a big part of the appeal of marrying post-mi1 Ethan is that he’d probably be gone most of the time. When he did show up he’d be nice company, on his laptop a lot, maybe giving me abridged summaries of his current missions. Having the occasional emotional breakdown. It’s always nice to have a fellow autist around, and a fellow traumatized bitch. He’d develop a complex over being an absent husband, but I really wouldn’t care (steadily growing a list of movies to rant to him about the next time I see him). It would be good for him to have someplace to return to when his mom dies. So much of mi2 feels like the result of Ethan being completely alone and a “friendly coexistence” type of marriage would be a comforting touchstone. Also I’d probably end up introducing him to nonsexual kink at some point and I think that would be very fun for both of us. I could steal his leather jackets (!!!!!!!) and encourage him to experiment with gender presentation (think. Mi2 Ethan with colorful clips in his hair. Or bobby pins with little plastic flowers. Mi2 Ethan with his nails painted……….)

Jim needs to die which is a bit of a shame, it’s the difficulty of fmk…the ideal Jim ending for me is honestly a situation where he stays alive, but with his circumstances changed so he has less real-world power. A dead Jim still holds the same thrall over Claire and Ethan, if not even more, and makes closure way more difficult. An ending where he stays alive and continues to worm his way nastily through the world…it provides more opportunities for Ethan and Claire to grapple with the ways he hurt them, and I am personally always a fan of “the worst person you know continues to exist and be a human being.” Failing that, though, dead Jim works for me if Claire gets to kill him. Ethan already got to kill him and all he got out of it was soul crushing guilt and shame. Claire I think would at least have some fun with it. So me “killing jim” would just look like handing Claire the gun and saying “hey you wanna…?”

Oh my god I just finished Lucas’s route… oh my god I’m so mmmmmmmm I don’t even know bruh y’all oh my god 😂 big fat spoilers for virche and long ramblings as usual under the cut

Oof where do I even begin my word vomit like, ?!??!??!?!?!?? The funniest thing to me is still the fact that they they didn’t bother trying to hide him being Bourreau with the exact same fucking sprite poses lmao, but I guess that wasn’t really the mystery

CAPUCINE BETTER WATCH THE FUCK OUT THOUGH IT’S ON SITE 🔫🔫 (and whoever this mysterious benefactor is… better not be some shit like, it was Salome all along lmao)

Like okay I know Lucas is a lil extremely way cracked in the head in his despair ending (oh boy oh boy) but… he’s so pretty? When he’s in his Bourreau outfit and his hair is tied up?? Covered in blood??? Stab me harder please 👀 … Do I have a problem? Perhaps… but I’m just keeping true to my dubious taste in anime men 😌

You can’t give me a pretty character with long hair and blue eyes with a gentlemanly “oh ho” personality who’s such a sweetie, while everyone thinks he’s delicate but is secretly (obviously) super strong and very sus, and then tell me how super fucked up his situation is and *NOT* expect me to fall in love????? Boy you had me at the first “ehehe” laugh, you saint-germain-esque motherfucker, I 100% have a type in these games I am very predictable 😂

Aaaaaah I don’t wanna think about Nadia… 😩 girl, sweetie, honey, GIRL. Girl. Too good for this world. Too pure, too innocent… Girl I am so sorry you’re in this game LMAO jeez. I knew… I knew shit was gonna be bad, but oh I was so hoping it was not gonna go that way………. But with everything being all about despair you knew it was gonna happen…….. Big FMA fucking “big brother Edward” and oddly enough hatoful boyfriend vibes… I DID NOT WANT IT THOUGH NO I DON’T LIKE IT!! 😭 I am so scared about what Lucas’s salvation ending is gonna be now, and where it’ll start changing from this end… because BOY. IF THIS DOESN’T GET FIXED…! I am going to be so heartbroken, family in fiction just get me y’all ;-;

… God I know it’s not all gonna get fixed though, there’s just no way, there’s too much shit going on, something’s gotta give, especially in a game like this? If it was your normal otome game maybe, but… I don’t think Nadia’s making it… and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucas didn’t either… even if they both do, they’d barely be able to live another year so I can only see bittersweet endings lmao I’m very worried 😭😂 I NEED THAT FANDISK LOCALIZED NOW!!!

Also I did NOT expect Ankou to suddenly show up at the end?? Aight sir I see you, don’t worry you’re right behind Lucas for me… knowing he got his ass absolutely demolished by Lucas though is kinda hilarious, like I thought Ankou was gonna be some all powerful magic dude but nope. Lucas cut him into little bits LOOOL rip in pieces literally 💀 humanizes him surprisingly for me 🤔

And wtf was Ceres’s plan…? Like… hey lemme go die?? Hope Lucas snaps out of it after he stabs me??? GIRL PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE’S ALREADY DEAD. That’s such a shit plan how was Ankou okay with this 😂

At least uhhhh…. We’re his wife now………? Consolation prize… sorta…………?? 👀😬 yikes lmao but at least all his CGs are so pretty 😌

Wait I just checked his CGs actually… there’s… three left??? And 11/18 (oh shit that’s today’s date LOL). Oh yes, oh hell yes that means more for the salvation ending with variations, give me MORE!! I’m kinda sad now that the “good” endings are locked behind the final route… I need to know what the “good” ending is (BIG quotes around “good” lmao)

I’m gonna need to make one of those “do it for him” memes now to feel better, but I guess I’ll have to hold off until I get all his CGs LOL

OH MY GOD WAIT THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON I DIDN’T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE CAGE HOLY CRAP 😂 ah how could I forget?! Actually, after finishing his route I don’t have a lot to say about it… it was super hilarious when I first saw it and my only thought really was “not this shit again” lmao, but at least in this case it made more sense…

Ah okay I’m think I’m done venting… off to do Scien’s route next… maybe I’ll give Lucas a day to cook in my head though, this is the longest rambling text post I’ve ever done lmao… or maybe I’ll finish up the happy bits I have left to do from the even if tempest fandisk 😭

These two are so precious I can’t 😭

[giggly-squiggily]

Hi Hello I just finished Part 5 of JJBA during a reasonable hour! (Spoilers and such below the cut)

First of all: My favorite part! The best part! 10/10 I loved Golden Wind so much! The characters, the Stands/Stand users, the villains- it was all so good!

GIORNO It’s not delivery My boy, by guy, my golden hero! I will probably say this with every Jojo, but he was absolutely amazing and I loved him. I knew I’d love him, but seeing him through this part? He’s been cemented as my favorite (At least until I watch Part 6 arjeaklrkjaejr) His stand? Amazing. His character? To die for. The frogs? Loved it!

Mama Bruno! (Sobs) I loved bruno so much- what an amazing Capo! He was such a great soul throughout the show, and when he ultimately passed on at the end- it hurt so much but he went peacefully. God when Giorno found out he was already dead- the pain in his voice hurt, and seeing Bruno go on- AH! Zipper Man/Sticky Fingers was great! :D 

Mr Stinky MISTA!!! Can we yell about Mista? I wanna yell about Mista- he’s an angel! I love him so much; he’s loud and funny and brilliant; the Sex Pistols and him were the cutest little crew! I love his bond with both Giorno and Trish- and just him being amazing!

Big titty goth bf Abbachio (Sobs) I love him- lowkey my husband, he’s freaking amazing! His voice? Godly. He’s such a grump, but my god was he so cool to watch! I really loved Moody Blues- his stand was my favorite of the batch; the recording noises- the design- all of it! Top tier!

Orange slices Narancia (Sobs hardest) That death killed me- he was absolutely amazing. Narancia was funny and sweet, he just wanted to keep the gang safe and protect Trish! He was gonna go back to school :( Why’d they gotta make him have all those dreams before death? It hurt so much when he died, and Giorno’s grief made it worse! (And Fugo pausing where he was when he realized he was gone? GAH!) On a lighter note; little Bomber was cool as heck, and the Gangster Torture Dance is absolutely hilarious!

Fugo He’s gotta hole lotta style He was enjoyable! I didn’t get as attached to him as I did the rest of the group, but I still loved him to death! His design is really cool and his and Narancia’s dynamic was pretty neat :D The GioFugo shippers are winning me over day by day with the content between them I loved Purple Haze; I have a soft spot for poison based abilities so that was pretty cool to see! :D I do wish he did tag along for the final battle; that probably would have solidified him as top tier- still amazing though!

Trish Spice girl! I didn’t know how I felt about her at first, but she completely won me over by the end of the series! She’s so bad ass, and her growth really impressed me as she went from a nervous teen to someone who stuck it out for the final battle! That scene on the plane? Still my favorite moment with her- when she discovered her Stand! I love her to death! :D

Can we yell about the Hitman team? And the fact they're all named after food? I thought that was absolutely hilarious! (I realize pretty much everyone besides Trish and Giorno was named after food but the Hitman team really carried the names) So I don’t always remember the names so here’s the nicknames I’ve deemed them all through the show:

Formaggio: Shrinky Dinks

Illuso: Man In The Mirror

Prosciutto: Old Man Bacon

Pesci: FROGGY! (Sonic fans will get this one)/Pinapple head

Melone: Mr. Foot Fetish (Y’all can’t tell me he doesn’t have one)/The only one who I remembered by name besides their leader/Industry Baby

Risotto: Gordon Ramsey/ Raviolli Raviolli Give Me The Razor Bladie

Sorbet and Gelato: The two ice cream guys that were a couple (at least I think they were)

Ghiaccio: That one emoji meme (He’s not allowed to bring Mac Salad anymore)/ Ice Ice Baby

Lightning round Time!: I did NOT want to like Doppio but....I kinda fell in love with Doppio. He’s honestly kinda cute with the who: “DODOODODDOODODO!” noises and using random items as his phone. And Diavio was pretty cool too- I was deeply satisfied with how he went out.

The rock statues made me cry- god I was NOT PREPARED!!!

The one couple: Squalo and Tiziano? Wish I could have seen more but great all around!

Cioccolata/Dr Sadist? Creepy as hell but his “Good boy”s with Secco were kinda funny- it reminded me of petting Sammy klarkjleakrjke (just not as aggressive or creepy)

And GioGio as the new Don! What a set up! :D Overall it was a fantastic series and I loved every part of it! I’m not gonna rush to Part 6 yet (I’m gonna wait until the whole things out) but overall an amazing time!

[whoreadsnowadays]

I’ve only known Lorenzo for a couple of minutes but I’d die for him.

Anyways, he’s so cute I wanna hug him forever cause he’s just so cute AHH!

But since it’s like 12am and I’m still up I got to thinking.

How would he be like having his first crush?

So here’s my Lorenzo’s (aka Ren’s) first crush headcanons (cause I thought it’d be cute innocent puppy love!)

Okay so Lorenzo himself is a pretty quiet turtle who keeps to himself most all of the time so if you manage to catch his eye then wow good job (cue protective older brothers in the background)

Before getting his feelings under control(which he does fairly quickly somehow😧) he’s a disaster. He’s not one to talk but the second his crush is around he wants to talk with them a lot but ends up stuttering and his voice cracks and omg just kill him now pls where is shredder when you need him

Goes to Leo and meditates a lot more often to get better control of his emotions when he’s around his crush. (Leo is sorta very suspicious about his little brothers behavior)

Honestly, I feel like Lorenzo’s two main love languages would be gift giving and words of affirmation

Would go up to his crush with embroidery that he specifically made just for them. If his crush shows an interest he’d be happy to teach them. Either that or a poster that he designed based on their tastes. Music, shows, actors, pfftt it’s not that hard! -he says as he’s losing sleep over making that damn poster. But overall gives them things throughout the day. He’s not that good with words so he instead compensates with these little trinkets he puts his heart into, hoping that his crush will treasure his gifts or at least like them enough to accept them.

For the words of affirmation, it’s something he likes to receive(though he won’t say it aloud). He loves to receive kind words from his crush. Since he craves validation, he sorta accepts anything his crush says about him, but to really make him feel loved is to compliment his creations, whether it was given to them or no. If his crush says it’s awesome then boy will be smiling for the rest of the day (might tear up a lil but shhh)

Okay, this boy is super small, like smaller than Mikey who’s super short (Mikey is 4’11 in case you didn’t know) so sometimes he’s insecure about his height BUT it’s also very useful in some situations such as receiving a piggyback ride from his crush, or asking his crush to get something down from a shelf EVEN THOUGH THE STEP STOOL IS RIGHT THERE

Likes to hang out with his crush in his room. Maybe play a little music and they can both do their own things, or if they want, Ren will always put down whatever he’s doing to listen to any vents his crush has. As someone who listens more than talks, he finds himself useful if his crush can confide in him with their troubles. Will try and offer advice if they ask for it, but if they don’t he’s content with listening.

Shares sweets with them! Might not seem like a big deal but it’s not a secret that Ren has a big fcking sweet tooth. So if some gets smuggled in and his crush is around, he might offer some (they may or may not get chased down by Leo tho so I hope his crush is a fast runner.)

Will melt into a puddle of rainbows and glitter if a loud noise is about to go off and his crush covers his ears. Appreciates that his crush would remember something like that about him.

Speaking of remembering, the guys remembers everything about his crush and uses that knowledge for his gifts. He’s also very observant so good luck trying to hide something from him

Wants to appear as someone strong and capable in front of his crush, but deep down he’s just a scared little kid. After the Shredder incident, he’s been trying to brush it all off but breaks down in secret. If his crush found him in a vulnerable state like that, he’d be mortified. He just doesn’t want anyone to worry about him anymore. But if his crush goes out of their way to comfort him, it’d mean the world to him.

Tried to get crush into Space Heroes. If they’re already a fan then what’s this? A ring pop suddenly appeared on their finger. Wonder how that got there…

That’s all I got for now, but maybe I’ll try some to think up some other Lorenzo headcanons laterrrr

SOBBING RN FR..... WOW HE SO.... <3<3<3 I LOVE THIS SO MUCH HES SO SILLY AND SWEET AND IM SQUEEZING HIM IN A HUG N WATCHING HIM POP. WOW. SBSHSBSGSVSGS HIM HIM HIM !!!!!!!

[emptymanuscript]

Ah, that guy, Desguin, got it :)

So of course he was forced out.

It’s easy to say but he was supposed to arrest neo-nazis, that’s a good thing.

And that’s where the rubber of principle meets the road of reality.

Frankly, I HOPE all neo-nazis have painful life lessons to either force them into understanding the error of their ways or end up being lethal. But that’s exactly why it is so important to be governed by laws and protected by rights. What I WANT, no matter the reasoning, should never be the measure of justice.

If my desires or fears are the measure of justice, what protects you from my anger? Nothing. What punishes the guilty person who I favor? Nothing. What hope does anyone who I hold a grudge against have? None whatsoever. My feelings become your fate.

The purpose of rights and laws are to protect neo-nazis from my hatred. They exist specifically so I can’t follow my impulses to say, run them down in my truck and get away with it. Which example I use because that is what landed me in the mental hospital the second time. I slammed on the gas because that fucker who I objected to deserved to die because I hated him. Luckily, my truck has slow acceleration, so I had enough time to think, hey, maybe I don’t want to kill anyone and maybe I need some more mental help. Because the emotional impulse of the moment isn’t a good way to make these kind of decisions.

I still dream about killing neo-nazis. I still wanna. And as long as I wanna, they deserve protection from that desire.

Why?

Because Star Trek was right. No one has more rights than the citizen with the least rights. Anything that can be taken away is a privilege waiting for the excuse to be taken away.

I’m not a nice person. You may have guessed from the fact that I have constant fantasies about murdering people. But most people actually don’t get that. I get a lot of compliments in my offline life about being a nice and good person. And no, not really. I’m a mean, selfish son of a bitch who honestly thinks that simply deleting more than half the human population would be a vast improvement.

What I am is polite. I believe that rules and principles are important. Especially when I don’t like them. That doesn’t mean blind support of whatever rule is given. That’s just a different emotion ruling things. Laws and customs can absolutely be wrong. Those should be fought, destroyed, and broken. A rule isn’t good because it is a rule. Fuck that noise. But good things need rules to protect and enforce them. They’re the lubricants and fasteners of civilization. They make it run when that’s not our first impulse.

What I am is afraid. I know that the law and custom is all that protects me from the neo-nazi. Those evil bastards would kill me without a second thought if it wasn’t forbidden by our society. They might do it anyway. But the more safeguards the better.

And the most dangerous of them aren’t the evil silver shirt kids who show up with bats, bottles, and guns. They might kill as many as a few hundred, which is viscerally appalling, but that’s because it’s easy to see. The jackbooted killer is the amateur hour pawn of the murder cult world.

The kings who command the board will kill millions. They will do it with no weapon but a pen or a keyboard or a viral video. They construct the apparatus for killing people and getting away with it so they can kill some more. The key to their murderous success is making it perennial and institutionalized. And the first key to that, to making sure that there is always an excuse to kill the undesirable is to turn rights into privileges and privileges into permissions and permission into exceptions BUT then turn exceptions into rights.

The point is to give the other as few rights and protections as possible while giving US as many rights and freebies as possible.

So the second you can say that I can kill someone just because they’re a neo-nazi is the second that all they need to do is prove that I’m actually the nazi while they’re just the alt-right. If the label determines your rights then you’re just a shell game of labels away from having your rights taken away. They aren’t really rights anymore. You are never safer than the least well treated person. Because society can always turn on you. The worst person ever that you hate the most must have the rights you believe you deserve. Otherwise you don’t really have them.

So, if you believe that you should have the right to free speech, then you have to protect the neo-nazi’s right to free speech in the same way you believe you deserve it. Otherwise bye-bye free speech.

This is not incompatible with saying that free speech is exactly equal to being able to say any damn thing you want without repercussions or consequences. That’s well established. You can have both the right to free speech and limits on what speech is protected and what is not. You just have to make sure that the limits and protections can be applied universally.

It’s entirely acceptable to say that you have the right to free speech but cannot advocate for the physical harm of others. Then it doesn’t matter what you label the speaker.

You can make exotic and complex tests of legality. That’s fine. As long as it doesn’t matter who the test is applied to.

And that’s what this guy got. That he was ordered to illegally target a politically convenient group. It doesn’t matter if they’re a terrible group. They are. What matters is that if you can target a group illegally for political convenience then it’s only a matter of political convenience until someone who doesn’t deserve it gets targeted.

Hi again!! Thank you for your detailed answer, it was of great help! And because my curiosity doesn’t know where to stop, i went looking for more stuff about Zaraki and Unohana and now I see them as a couple?!? Like, how? I ship the really hard, they became my number one Bleach couple and again, I don’t know anything about Bleach! And to make it worse, now I’m developing a huge crush on Zaraki, and I know nothing, zero, nada about him! Oh well, the heart of otakus works in weird (wonderfull) ways). Can you tell me your opinion (the specialist) about Unohana and Zaraki relationship? Do you think they love each other because they are the only ones that can understand each other? (Does this makes sense?), like, they are the only ones that can make the other feel alive? Feel good? Feel happy? I’m eager to know what you think! (And just for me to know, dating Zaraki would be anything but easy, right? My guess, I know nothing about him). Thank you again and I wish you happy days!

No problem babe!! I'm sorry I didn't answer earlier, tumblr happened to NEVER notify me about new messages T-T. But here I am! So, I totally get you why you see them as a couple. It was never stated, so it's up to your imagination whether you wanna ship them or not. I believe there is some kind of "mother/son" dynamic but not in the strict sense. Idk if it makes sense honestly. I am not sure if they love each other, but I do think they both held a profound need for the other and also some kind of resentment (mainly unohana for making him hold back his powers in a way). That's why their final battle is so full of emotions! Unohana scolds Kenny for holding back as if she had a motherly bond with him. Kenny feeling more and more weak against her, allowing himself to do so because he didn't want to lose her. But in the end, when Kenny killed her, he screams desperately asking her not to die. And that's only when he is able to listen to his zanpakuto for the first time. I think he understands that he has "grown up".

So for me it's all up to you if you want to ship them! I kinda do, too :P I find their last battle absolutely erotic! I have a little scenario that tries to "bond" that "motherly" figure and the erotic aspect of violence, and finding love in letting one die for the other. If you wish to read it, you can do it here 💖.

Regarding dating Kenny; I think it would be easy as long as you can 1. keep up with his battling style or don't annoy him too much about putting his life in danger like he usually does. And 2. if you can deal with his "beasty" behaviour. But if I have to be honest with you, I believe he is a sweetheart deep inside. You see how he carries a kid around all the time? well, he is also training Renji's daughter now. So he is very good with kids in general. He is simple man. Give him violence, give him peace, give him nights of calm -and hot hot sex (if your body can take it)- and he will be fine. Also, this is all a HC but I believe he would protect you like nobody else. Oh and he hates my husband Byakuya, and Byaku hates him too... but both make a great team when it comes to fighting and protecting the seireitei 🤭

So it occurred to me that…maybe the southern wars should be ongoing until and maybe even into s2. I’ll explain

It would give us a chance to explore aragoth’s over all situation as a country by looking at it from the outside and as a public entity rather than simply seeing it internally

It would give the privy council smth to do and our baddies smth to work towards as well as give the fledgling resistance more cover under which to cement themselves making all groups more active than passive characters and improving the perceived competence of each group

It would give Alex more of a plot line and we could even have him finding spare moments to try and search out aalis — in fact, perhaps he could give all the clues the audience needs to realize it’s valery even if ~he doesn’t have enough info abt a rando pirate girl to know

If we wanted, we could intro the Barrets and maybe the moysaunts (perhaps Alex encounters them continuing their moms work as they can looking out for refugees being nurses whatever — perhaps we even see flashes in the bg of crisana being sweet on e/o etc) earlier, given their huge significance to the endgame (tho I wouldn’t intro much more than that and even them I’m kinda quasi on tbqh — maybe just ned and cris as Alex’s lieutenants and then we could flesh them out in s2)

So those’re some pros, there are cons but the main one I can think of is just that Alex is home for good chunks if s1, but I think we could have him home for part of the season and at war for part easily enough and I think this would be easy to do. So, why is he at the ball? Some potentials!

Helena casually mentioned that she missed him so rowena straight up recalled him to be there fir her (esp since she’s planning his demise she felt she owed it to them both etc etc)

He was injured in some way that he needed expert care and isn’t battlefield ready but can do normal stuff — maybe an arm/leg wound of some kind or even like an internal organ thing idk we could figure this out (since we wanted to change the way he was disabled this could even play into that?)

Alex knows Rowena’s planning to kill him so he took leave to see helena one last time hoping he could do her some real good before going back to war to die (tho spectacular if this could easily go hand in hand w 1 or 2)

Also, if we did this, we might wanna move his engagement to Evie but I don’t see this as much of an issue one way or another. It could up the stakes if we ~do move it since avelina could do smth that causes rowena to retaliate in this way (maybe betrothing lynessa and Jon as in the og plot iirc?) + then we’d have the build up of avelina and Alex’s relationship already done, plus it’d give us an excuse for another big court event (maybe a masquerade? Anyway!) when the isles and defeated, but honestly we could also leave the engagement where it is.

Anyway idK that we’d have much of the war itself on screen unless we wanted to? I feel like we’d probs handle it more like HotD did the war in the stepstones — mostly just character development, smth for them to do when we don’t have a plot in mind, etc. Also we could depict (probs in s2) the end of the war w ivette and Romayne both betraying the southern isles for aragoth etc and get a lil character introduction done that way too etc

Mostly it’d serve to keep Alex and cassius esp but also council lords and rowena from sitting around twiddling their thumbs and thus looking incompetent as the resistance grows etc while also giving us a chance to dissect and evolve their various goals motives etc plus actively striving towards smth always builds character in audience pov — plus it’d give context to the pirates backstories haha but that’s honestly fringe and neither here nor there haha

I also had some other thoughts abt this but I can’t think now but yeah things to consider I suppose!

[mazuwii]

Can you do one where s/o is a royal? Like with the normal crew you usualy do, Levi Erwin hangi bertholdt Reiner Kenny etc. 🥰

HI! <3 so like a royal Y/n x ! AOT Character... that sounds cool, I'll use my usual format for these characters

Levi:

•Levi is quite the possessive knight to be honest, it would be difficult to keep his role as he’s always managing to upset the higher ups with how he wants you a million miles away from danger. Again, he pisses off the higher ups… AKA the king… A K A … your dad

•So for this I propose that Levi is not your knight, he’s your butler. A strong butler 😭 it’s really funny. He seems like a stoic and angry little one but actually, he’s the best. Especially to the young royals.

•he’d perform tricks for them every time they seem sad. Levi understands after all, being a child and a royal at the same time must have put a lot of pressure on them. So the children absolutely adore Levi.

•You’re already promised to someone sure, but you couldn’t care less, you’ll sneak out of your room at night to hang out with Levi just sipping tea with him and talking about life while hanging out on one of the fancy balconies in the castle.

•Levi isn’t one for scandals, he makes sure to stay low when it comes to other people finding about his relationship with the Princess. If you’re sent on a journey, usually your mum and dad will send Levi with you. Since he’s not only strong but also very responsible.

•You’re lucky enough to not have any knights accompany you, Levi is all you need. And once you know no one’s on your tail, you can finally act normal together.

•I guess at one point, you two would run away together, forever bounty’s sure, but you’re also forever married ☺️ (DISCLAIMER‼️ not by law)

Erwin:

•Erwin was upgraded from a knight to the kings advisor. That’s just how smart and convincing he is. In this AU he’d have a scar crossing over on his eyes and he’d even have stories written about him (in the future people probably would thing Knight Smith was a damned legend😤)

•He has always caught your eye, with his kindness, his bravery, but most of all his intelligence, no one could compete with his war strategies, his ideas. All of it had twisted the kingdom into a whole new better life of civilisation.

•you happened to be the person who helped upgrade Erwin to such a spot. That way, you two could see each other more often and you wouldn’t have to worry about him dying in battle.

•Everytime he greets you in front of your dad he delicately picks your hand up and kisses it, even going as far as to bow down. He always gives you a knowing smirk every time he stands back up, towering over you.

•Not gonna lie to you, when the king sees the way you and Erwin interact his head just goes 💡 L I G H T B U L B

•And that’s how you ended up in an arranged marriage with someone you were secretly dating. Honestly it was kinda sad for the maidens of the kingdom, since who doesn’t have a fat crush on this man💔 still though, everyone celebrated and your dad could die peacefully knowing the country was in good hands

•Still, everyone was suspicious because you two managed to click so well on your wedding day… almost as if you had already been infatuated with each other since a long time.

•And by the way 😮‍💨 King! Erwin discusses plans and ideas while holding his child 😞

Hange

•Hange was originally supposed to assassinate you as an act of revenge against your father, the king. Like a typical evil dumb butt he took from the poor and gave to the rich. Which means the rich never pay any taxes only the poor do.

•Sorry I got political there

•ANYWAY! She had been stalking you before she planned to kill you, learning your routine and trying to adapt to times that are better to just, shoot an arrow through your chest.

•Would she wanna shoot your chest after she got flashed at while stalking you? 😫Not at all- (I’m so sorry anytime I’m writing Hange I become so feral for no reason)

•Anyway, she found out from your words to the maids, that you hated your father and had even planned to poison him. Everyone agreed with you, he was horrible and treated people like animals.

•Hange realised it would be easier to kill your father, but it isn’t really. If she ever gets caught then a deathly torture will await for her… and besides, it’d be harder with all the security around him at all damn times.

•Then one day. She had joined the guard legion, to get closer to you.

•No one really knew her gender but she was strong enough to be classified as a man to them (ik it’s stupid but bear with me 😭)

•With all the times she had saved you from danger, she was placed as the guard that would stay by your side.

•Of course, even when saving you from dangerous situations (that feels like she set up herself) you can’t help but feel suspicious from the way she stares at you longingly, holds you away from something that may hold potential danger. Not to mention she’s just so flirtatious with you and doesn’t care if anyone sees.

•And not very long after, you begin to grow feelings for her too.

•When you finally get alone together, those flirtatious comments turn into flirtatious touching, with her finger tucked under your chin every time she talks to you.

•Before more people arrive you took your chance to kiss her cheek as a thank you.. and low-key a way to say, yo you’re kinda cute 🌚

•I think only you know that she’s a woman 🗿 her face is more feminine and her throat is less thicker than the mens, her waist goes inward despite her muscles.

•This is getting too long, perhaps I’ll turn this Into a fanfiction one day

Bertholdt:

•Bertholdt was not a knight, he wasn’t a servant, he wasn’t an assassin either

•He was a peasant. A peasant child born to the family of wise fortune tellers. His parents died of a disease and so did his siblings so the royal family took him in, with the condition that he predicts the future for them.

•Bertholdt did, he was as intelligent as his parents were. The king and queen were proud, they were overjoyed. Bertholdt had grown up with the royals and learnt how to be better than a peasant.

•So, your parents low-key thought, you’d be a perfect gift to him for all those years of service. He was moved from the castle he grew up in and was hastily thrown into your arms.

•When he first showed up he had a red cape strapped to his shoulders with gold, matching with a golden suit. He was so flustered when he saw you, he was great full for the two maids that stood beside him, helping him introduce himself to you.

•the first time you guys spoke, he was silent and never looked you in the eye. “did my parents raise a prince or a bunny?” You giggled softly at how his cheeks instantly burnt a warm red. Still, he refused to look you in the eye.

•”Hey, it’s okay… I don’t bite. Now,” you tucked your finger under his chin, bringing his attention back to you. “Why don’t you introduce yourself. Properly this time.”

Reiner:

•The most chaotic knight ever.

•He was so infatuated with your beauty, he’d probably be able to answer a 100 question quiz about you, with no hesitation and get it all right. Please, if you asked him to run outside with nothing but a tight pink peppa pig themed underwear on, he’d do it.

•Despite how chaotic and wreckless he is, he was charming. Your father really liked him. Reiner was always one in a few that returned from dangerous missions or battles, he was important to your dad. But not important enough to give his daughter away to.

•That doesn’t stop the two of you though. When your father is away on trips and missions, you two do anything you like, Reiner will even put you on a horse, right in front of him and take you on an adventure. Your mum would warn you two to show up before a specific date when your father would return.

•Honestly spontaneous, funny, and possessive. He’s just a hardcore golden retriever.

•Did I mention the amount of times he’s probably got into a near death situation. He has a knack for it, his body is filled with scars just from his carelessness. No one knows how he’s still alive.

•Would die for you tbh

•Hed even run away with you. Anything for his princess.

•Omg side note but imagine your father finds out about your relationship and banished him from the kingdom. But instead you secretly pack your things and run away with Reiner. Perfect. Awesome. Yes.

Kenny:

•Kenny is connected to the evil shit the royals secretly do. He gets paid a lot to do snarky shit that your parents order him to do. It’s usually something like sabotaging a certain town or village that are slowly catching onto something

•Or perhaps it’s killing someone. Kenny is at the royals service. And to be honest, you never knew about this until you overheard it happening. You weren’t supposed to be there and you didn’t know what would happen to you if your father found out that you caught on.

•it’s another story with Kenny tbh. He knows you but you don’t know him.

•So when you leave the castle for a bit- without permission and without protection, you find yourself in a dangerous situation in which crooks want you for ransom (you must be a dumbass in this story) but anyway, a random man that looks way too old to be pulling the moves that he is saves you from being toyed around with (ugly stupid cranks)

•”Be careful next time.” He’d say, even though he knew you, he didn’t want to give it away that he understood you were the princess.

•And honestly, you’d low-key develop a hardcore crush on him. Only realising who he is when your father introduced you to him (you happen to see him) that was the same voice as the one you’re father always had meetings with.

•Still, how could you hate him 😍 what with all the smiles he shoots at you, winking at you from across the room when he catches you staring. It’s no wonder an affair began from it all.

•He should be on a mission, to go shoot someone’s brains out but here he is, in your locked room at night, muffling your moans the best you could.

Jean:

•Jean would be your jester. Except he isn't a jester? Basically he was hired to help the princess keep her chin up, a way to make sure she doesn't do something dangerous because of her depression

•You'd scoff when you were first introduced to your jester, dressed like a body guard and height tall enough to convince you he was the new king.

•"What's all this? I'm depressed not manically suicidal."

•"I'm sorry but his majesty insisted." The maid bowed from right next to Jean, seemingly nervous. You sighed but nodded reluctantly, shooing her off before she could sweat a puddle.

•you're surprised he was hired, he has no boundaries with you and talks to you like you're just another human being (shocker) but honestly you're low-key into it, it's a bit of fresh air from all that royalty bs.

•Your little cutie Jester will take you on late night trips, sometimes to festivals, sometimes he'll take you to bars or restaurateurs (Eugene from rapunzel Core) he'll even get you commoner gifts. They're cute and their designs are done with thought, unlike your golden possessions- which are just hulks of money.

•the king could see a change in your demeanour when it came to Jean. He was helping you, you seemed less miserable. All you needed was a commoner bestie.

•Also can we mention the amount of times he has flirted with you, it always makes the butlers and maids fear for him, but they always get confused when you flirt back, perhaps bumping your hips into his... to which he replies with a stronger hip punch. Only throwing you two back and forth in zig zags and giggles.

Sleepovers At The Baji Household feat. A Fed-Up Chifuyu

Summary: Chifuyu just wants to sleep, man, but Baji wants to be a jealous crackhead at 2 AM.

Pairing: Sano Manjiro | Mikey x Male Reader

Note(s): I had a little free time and wrote this. So, please enjoy! ALSO, to the anon that sent me a request a few days ago, I saw it and have it filed on my to-do list!!! I will definitely get to it as soon as I get a break in my schedule :)

"Chifuyu, ya wanna see some real discrimination?"

No. No, Chifuyu does not want to see what Baji means by 'real discrimination.'

Does he tell him that, though?

Yes, actually, because it's 2 in the fucking morning and, as much as he respects the other boy, he wouldn't put it past himself to smother him with a pillow after having his dream of cuddling with a sea of puppies suddenly destroyed.

Unfortunately for his sanity, Baji either doesn't hear him or, more likely than not, doesn't give a fuck, because he's already flopping onto his belly and whipping out his phone to do God knows what.

The dial tone that sounds from the speaker a few seconds later makes Chifuyu cringe, especially since it's only ever been a calm silence fit for a good night's sleep prior to Baji bulldozing through it with his absurd question. (At the very least, he's thankful that the latter has half a mind to keep the brightness on the lowest setting, otherwise, Chifuyu would have had to fight.)

On the far end of the row of carefully-laid futons, you shift in your sleep, eyebrows furrowing together at the noise. Rotating onto your side, you unconsciously reach for Baji, and just when he thinks you're being cute and trying to cuddle him, you smack him in the head.

Baji doesn't flinch, instead, takes his pillow and shoves it in your grasp to keep your unconscious self occupied, so that he can focus on getting through to the person who reuses to pick up (understandably so).

Releasing a frustrated groan after being redirected to voice mail for the fifth time, he dials the number again, muttering an impatient, "Pick up already."

Chifuyu feels sorry for the poor soul on the other end. He would've blocked someone following the first call, because again, it's-

The blond has to squint his eyes up at the digital clock on Baji's nightstand, which confirms that it's already 2:22 A.M, further solidifying the fact that he shouldn't be awake right now. And this also applies to the ever persistent first division captain, who insists on bothering who Chifuyu soon discovers is Mikey from the contact ID that flashes across the screen.

Why Baji is so keen on bothering him is a question he doesn't have the mental capacity to ponder over. The most energy he'll expend is to listen in when the call miraculously connects.

"What...?" comes a muffled voice from the receiver, tone laced in an irked grogginess birthed from a slumber rudely interrupted.

There's an absurdly loud, almost angry, roar of Mikey's name, one that has Chifuyu curling in on himself in a futile attempt to escape a sound that should be illegal at this hour.

But you know what else should be illegal?

The fucking whiplash Chifuyu gets when Baji's deep voice takes an abrupt 180°, switching from its normal gruffness to a squeaky, ear-piercing shrill as he screams, "I love you, love you, love you! Do you love me, too, Mikey-kyun~♡?!"

The room is dead silent.

Not a word. Not a murmur. Not a breath.

Just pure, unadulterated silence as both Chifuyu and Mikey process the words that hang in the air, permeating it with a goosebumps-inducing eeriness from having heard such a...a girly, overtly cutesy screech from Baji.

Then-

"What the fuck? He hung on me!"

Chifuyu opens his mouth, thinks better of reacting to the cursed scene he had the misfortune of bearing witness to, and promptly closes it.

Other people may have sleep paralysis demons.

But Chifuyu?

Chifuyu has Baji.

With both hands partially raised in prayer, he begs for the shenanigans to be over and done with.

They are not.

While his eyes remain closed in a last ditch effort to convince himself that it's all a bad dream, he hears a lot of grumbling happening on your side of the room, courtesy of Baji, who's scrambling around in search of...something. One quick peek reveals him fiddling with a phone - yours, to be exact, as evidenced by the distinctive phone charm of your favorite anime character hanging from it.

"(Y/n), wake up for a second," he hears him whisper. It takes a bit of prompting, until he's able to successfully rouse you enough from sleep to elicit any kind of response, which is, essentially, nothing short of an incoherent, slurred mess. Although, Chifuyu is pretty damn certain he heard you call Baji a 'dickhead' for the trouble.

Unperturbed, he continues shaking your limp form, coaxing you into wakefulness with, "Repeat what I tell you, and I'll let you go back to asleep. Deal?"

You squint your eyes at him, only able to make out a vague outline of his visage in the lightless room. "Promise?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die," he automatically responds with the same phrase he's become accustomed to saying whenever you two made a promise, something done purely out of habit, formed when the two of you were just kids and he wanted to get you to do something absolutely ridiculous either for him or with him. And just 'cause he knows you're more susceptible to complying if he does it, he also interlocks his pinky with yours.

"...Fine."

The approval is his cue to proceed, and it's as he's putting the phone on speaker that he turns back to a regretfully wide awake Chifuyu, mouthing a wordless, 'Watch.'

The phone rings, loud and clear, precisely once and only once.

"(Y/n), what's wrong?" It's important to note that even though Mikey still sounds tired as hell, his tone is much lighter, much happier really, than when it was Baji, which is an offense in itself to the said teen that's off to the side, attentively listening to the conversation unfold.

Then, it strikes Chifuyu, what Baji is trying to do, and fuck does it give him an instant headache.

Meanwhile, your mouth morphs into the dopiest of smiles with the pleasant surprise of hearing your boyfriend's voice, chest instantly overtaken by a warm fuzziness that never fails to make an appearance whenever he's involved. Sappy, you know, but it's true!

A light but firm nudge to your shoulder reminds you of your mission. It's too bad that, teetering along the edge of sleep as you are, the words Baji whispers are barely repeated correctly.

The initial phrase from before, the one Baji greeted Mikey with, is shortened to a simple, "You wuv I...?"

But, without missing a beat, you receive Mikey's confident reply of, "Mhm... I wuv you a lot."

There's a sleepy giggle then - a fucking giggle - before your voices drop to sweet whispers that the third and fourth wheels can't fully comprehend from where they are.

"Where the fuck was my 'I wuv you,' huh?!" Baji whisper-shouts, considerate of your conversation even when ranting and raving. "Shit, I would've taken a simple 'I love you,' too! I've known that bastard way longer than (Y/n), and this is what I get?!"

Okay. Toman's president answers his boyfriend's late night calls faster than he does anyone else's and openly expresses his love for him. So what? Chifuyu wouldn't exactly call it 'discrimination,' per se. 'Favoritism,' maybe if you wanna stretch it, but using as strong a word as discrimination, especially taking into account you two are dating; it's normal? Nah.

"You wanna say 'bye' to them? Mm. Baji and Chifuyu." A pause. "Fuyu, Mikey says 'bye.'"

"Bye, Mikey-kun."

The other person in the room waits, and waits, and waits, and when it's clear that there is no intention to address his presence whatsoever, Baji turns to Chifuyu with an almost scandalized expression, making wild gesticulations with his hands, clearly distressed. "See?!"

Blank blue eyes stare back at him, unblinking. Honestly, it's a common occurrence - Baji spiraling in a nonsensical rage - so it's easy for Chifuyu to block out the muted, jealousy-driven temper tantrum as he takes his pillow in both hands, raises it as high as he can, and-

Sigh.

-lets it flop right back onto his face.

He can't suffocate Baji. Shouldn't. Wouldn't. Couldn't. After all, they're best buds, meaning he has an obligation to put up with shit like this once in a while. (Plus, he'd probably get his ass kicked before he succeeds anyway. Totally not worth the beating.)

"Did you hear? Mikey said he wuvs me," he hears you drawl dreamily as soon as you hang up, sounding very close to clocking back out for the night.

"Yeah, yeah. Cute shit. Happy for ya, dude," Baji huffs. Thankfully, he sounds like he's in a similar state to yours, if the yawn that follows his sarcastic comment is anything to go by.

"...He soooo ignored you."

That warrants a punishing punch to the arm, dulled only slightly by the combination of the thick quilt you're swaddled in and the raven-haired boy's fatigue.

"I'll fucking throw you out right now, (Y/n). Don't test me."

"You won't."

"I will."

"Won't."

"Will."

The conversation gradually dies down shortly after, the exhaustion that took its sweet time getting to both of you having reached its peak with the help of the childish bickering. It takes 10 minutes, maybe 15, before two sets of light snores fill the room.

Finally.

Let it be known that there is a lesson to be learned from tonight's events. Really, there is. Y'know, something along the lines of 'Don't agree to a sleepover with Baji, if you plan on actually sleeping,' or whatever.

Alas, Chifuyu's consciousness fades before he realizes what it is.

~~~

"Mikey, be honest. Who do you love more? Me or-?"

"(Y/n)."

"But-"

(Y/n)."

"I-"

"(Y/n)."

Baji is only momentarily discouraged, sharp eyes glaring at the blond that lays his head on your lap after hi-fiving you. He didn't want to do this, but he's left with no choice.

"(Y/n) or Babu?"

From the way Mikey stiffens up, refusing to look at either him or you in the eyes, Baji knows he has him right where he wants him, has him torn between a cute face or a sweet ride.

"Oi! Don't pretend to be asleep! Answer the damn question! OI!"

(After hours of serious contemplation - even though you told him it doesn't particularly matter - it's revealed that, of course, Mikey loves you more. Babu just happens to trail behind as a very close second.)
