You huffed as you took a seat on the couch and wondered why you bothered getting out of bed today. Contrary to popular belief, Mondays weren’t always the worst. Naturally, the universe decided it would be fun to give you problem after problem today at work in retaliation for having a positive attitude. How you managed to get anything done outside of putting out so many fires, you had no idea.

And Bucky?

Your beefy, gorgeous specimen of a boyfriend had time to sit, relax, and reread his copy of The Hobbit for the umpteenth time. Manspreading in his chair like he didn’t have a care in the world. Not that you wanted him to have a bad day, too. God knows he deserved rest and relaxation.

But why was he reading instead of fucking the obvious frustration out of you?

“You’re staring at me,” he said, turning a page without looking up from his book. “Which I would say it’s creepy, but we both know you like looking at me.”

True.

You bit your lip as you unashamedly checked him out, wishing he’d lift his gaze so you could see the blue of his eyes. It was an impressive feat that his prosthetic arm matched his right arm in terms of the muscular form and structure, the fabric of his shirt stretching to accommodate his torso. It didn’t matter if he decided to hold you down with his flesh or metal hand, he loved to remind you of his strength as he pounded your desperate pussy, stretching your walls and driving into you so deep that you swore you saw the gates of heaven.

Maybe that was why you thought Bucky looked like Jesus when he was in Wakanda.

“Yeah, I am staring,” you replied, tapping a finger on your thigh when he hummed. “Because I’m trying to figure out why you’re reading instead of eating my pussy.”

Bucky waited a beat before he picked up the bookmark beside him, carefully slotting it between the pages before he shut it and gave you his full attention. “You mind repeating that?” He asked, his voice gruff as he tucked some of his hair behind his ear. He wore it down today, but kept a hair tie around his right wrist.

Perfect for him to pull it back when he went down on you.

He smirked and scratched his scruffy chin when you narrowed your eyes. You craved the burn it left behind when he rubbed his face against your most sensitive area. He knew that.

“You want me to spell it out for you, Bucko? Fine,” you said, leaning back on the cushions as you spread your legs and planted your feet on the couch. Your hands formed a perfect V by your mound, which might as well have been a neon fucking sign since you ditched your under minutes ago, as he tried to hold back a groan. “See this? I have a perfectly good pussy right here and it isn’t going to eat or fuck itself.”

Bucky ran his tongue along his bottom lip before he inhaled. The beautiful bastard was actually sniffing out your arousal. You almost wished you could go back in time and let the scientists know that the serum they created helped super soldiers use their heightened senses to get their dicks wet.

Not that you were complaining since Bucky eyed you like he wanted to devour you whole.

“I’m sorry, baby. Didn’t realize eating or fucking your pussy was on my ‘To Do’ list today,” he said, purposely running a large hand over his crotch.

Fucking tease with his fucking massive hand and cock.

You pouted when he didn’t make a move to get up. “I am your ‘To Do’ list. I’m your girlfriend and I want you to do me because I had a long day,” you huffed, dipping your hand between your spread legs before you batted your eyes at him. “You haven’t fucked me in ages. It isn’t fair.”

Your beautiful man snarled at that, making you shiver as you teased yourself. You didn’t dip a finger in, but you did spread your growing wetness around as he watched. “I fucked you last night,” he reminded you.

“It feels like ages,” you corrected yourself. Thanks to him, you experienced what all-consuming desire felt like and you didn’t like going long without him having you. He couldn’t fault you for that, even if he did thoroughly wear you out the night before. “I’m so empty, Bucky, and I have this tight, wet hole for you to fill up. It’s all yours if you want it.”

His nostrils flared as he finally pushed himself up, his fingers flexing as you kept rubbing yourself with a sweet smile. “It’s my pussy,” he rasped, palming himself again as he stood in front of you. “And since she’s so needy that I can’t even finish a chapter of my book, stop touching her and let me get to work.”

Like you don't have a needy cock, big boy.

The growl in his voice brought a moan out of you, but you didn’t stop touching yourself. “Unless you mark it,” you began, looking him dead in the eye as you brought a glistening finger to your lips and traced along them like a gloss. “It isn’t yours.”

You managed not to smirk triumphantly when he took the hair tie from his wrist and pulled his luscious hair back. “She knows she’s mine. Bratty pussy just wants some attention,” he said as he dropped to his knees and leaned in to nose at your slit. “But I don't mind leaving my mark again.”

“Did you just call my pussy a brat?” You questioned, the last word coming out as a strangled moan when Bucky darted his tongue out, his fingers digging into your thighs to keep you still.

“No, I called my pussy a brat. Good thing I know how to tame her,” he said, winking up at you when you looked down. The playful look in his eyes made your heart swell. He was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at him. “Kisses are a good way to start before I pump her full.”

“A very good start,” you smiled, clenching in anticipation.

“And she loves my kisses,” he replied before dragging his mouth along your folds. The sensation that shot through you almost had your thighs clamping around his head, but it wasn’t possible with the hold he had on you. “I gotta say though. She's a messy little thing. Gets my mouth so wet.”

“Bucky,” you whimpered, tugging some of his hair free as he gently wrapped his mouth around your clit.

He hummed and lightly sucked on it before he pulled away, making you whine in protest when the sparks of pleasure fizzled out. “Speaking of kisses, I almost forgot.”

You gave him a small smile when he leaned up to tenderly kiss your mouth, letting him swallow down your moan as you opened up for him. It ended far too soon for your liking, making you loop a finger around his dog tags to pull him back to your lips. “Love you, Bucky,” you whispered.

On the days you practically ran on empty, you appreciated having someone like him by your side.

“Love you, too, baby,” he whispered back, his gaze soft as he slid back down your body. “Now hold on and let me make you and my pussy forget all about that long day.”

You knew he’d ask later if you were okay, but for now you’d let him shut your brain off and make you feel boneless.

And maybe you'd offer to warm his cock later as a thank you while he caught up on reading.

We all deserve that, right? Love and thanks for reading! ❤️

Since this is currently my most active blog with some followers, just wanted to say a few things:

It's so incredibly depressing to see tumblr sellout to the whole AI shit and try to pacify users by the opt-out toggle option when it mostly likely won't do jack shit. Tumblr has been doing shitty things for awhile now, but out of all old social media it was a last shabby bastion for various weirdos, including a fandom weirdo like me.

I'm just an old silly hobbyist artist who badly draws fanart of old cartoons, but even the idea that my stuff will help train AI to be better to stealing desirable art of actual artists, whose work is their livelyhood is fucking maddening. Opting out won't help (Sources say data is already available to companies). Deleting stuff won't help (tumblr have access to deleted blogs and reblogs put your stuff in reach too). Using Nightshade and Glaze is not a viable option for me (my old laptop's specks is not up to support those programs, and I'm too afraid to try and accidently fry it and than all my shit would be lost) and even those doesn't solve the problems of all of my old stuff across like 7 sideblogs+my old tumblr account's 2 blogs.

Of course, maybe all hope is not lost for tumblr. There may be solutions and decisions later down the line. But for now I probably won't be posting any new stuff for a bit while I decide if I want to stay on tumblr and be complicit in feeding the insidious and insatiable AI machines.

And as alternatives, I created new account for bluesky, and consider pillowfort and cohost to share my random silly art. Even dusted out my old tapas and newgrounds accounts, and consider webtoons and comicfury to post and archive my few comics. Hopefully I will share links in my pinned post when I set whatever I decide up, even if all of it is so exhausting and depressing.

And hey, if you read this so far - just a reminder:

Opt out on that 'share with third parties' toggle like explained here! - it may do jack shit, but its better than nothing.

Write a polite disagreeing feedback to staff like suggested on this post. - remember not all staff had a hand in this, so no need to be rude, but make sure to have your voice be heard.

Use Nightshade and Glaze to poison your art - if you are an artist and are able to do it unlike me. It may not be sure proof way to stop/kill AI, but it sure shows that artists will fight back.

Use ArtShield - an online lowtech alternative to Nightshade & Glaze, puts a stamp/watermark on your art, invisible to humans but supposedly makes AI think its unsuitable to train on. (edit)

And please, take a moment for yourself. Because it fucking sucks.

So, I'm gonna go take a step back and burrow into some hole and cry for all of those who AI fucks over. I won't be gone forever, but for now I'm too frustrated and dissapointed to do anything.

and ALSO just to be fucking clear

[transmultiphobia-discussion]

fuuuuck yeah i (squishylemonblobs, it's a sideblog) had a similar experience as redtail-lol and it was so infuriating. i tagged you in the posts but i'm not sure you saw them/if they got buried in your notifications haha but yeah, those are at /squishylemonblobs /758620027617525761 and /squishylemonblobs/758623837289054208

it's so infuriating because i have had experience of people calling me nonbinary and "neutral" explicitly to DEgender me but there was no acknowledgement of my saying this, only that it's weird to be "a nonbinary gender" without identifying that way. in my case specifically though i'm both ends of the binary lol... genderqueer, bigender, or anything else i use is just a means of describing that, not my whole identification, if that makes sense??

like i don't have a problem with others being nonbinary in the slightest, but i have a problem with being told that i either have to be nonbinary, or that it's the fault of people like me that others have an incomplete mental image of what nonbinary means.

yeahhh I did see I just wasn't in the mental space to process what I was reading and ended up forgetting. I wish people would let go of the idea that queer labels are rules people have to follow instead of them being optional personal descriptors. I generally describe multigender identities as being nonbinary ones, I use nonbinary and I'm tired of getting left out of people's ideas of what nonbinary means, but that doesn't mean any multigender person HAS to call themselves nonbinary or be comfortable with being called that. I totally get why a multigender person wouldn't label themselves as nonbinary

I once read a post that I still think about often about colloquial vs personal definitions, that there are ideas we have of words and their definitions we use in passing that everyone understands what they mean given the context of the situation. and then there are personal meanings defined by that person's unique relationship with the word, and that personal meaning existing doesn't threaten the colloquial one. I wish people would understand that difference more often. because we end up with people thinking they're trying to change that colloquial definition, and depending on the feelings surrounding it, may feel threatened. lesbian, for example, we normally use in passing to describe a woman who most likely exclusively likes other women. but then there are personal meanings, tied to historical community and unique experiences with their sexuality, that have people calling themselves lesbians even if they don't quite fit the common idea of what a lesbian is in everyday conversation. and that's totally okay! it's quite normal actually. many people don't realize how much we do this with common words. it's a regular part of language

[jewishbarbies]

I have three tumblr blogs that I use - my old main blog, a sideblog that’s essentially my primary blog, and then another sideblog for aesthetic posts. I barely post on my main blog anymore. It’s basically just there so I don’t have to restart from scratch with my other blogs lol. I haven’t gained followers on it in years and I certainly don’t have people sending me asks on it… until recently. Every day I wake up and I have like 3-4 new messages from people claiming to be Gazans and telling me to post their fundraiser links. On my unused main blog that’s like 11 years old. That hasn’t been updated since June, and since February before that. I post on there like twice a year at most.

It honestly is making me a bit uncomfortable lol. I get those messages on my other blogs and I usually delete them. I don’t know to vet them. I also don’t really post about the conflict as a whole (there’s not a lot to post as a non-Jew from America who wants peace for both countries and also believes Israel is allowed to exist lmao) so I’m like… idk, it just makes me feel weird that these spam blogs are now spamming my unused, decade old main blog. Like none of my blogs are safe from it lol. I’ve already gotten shit from followers on my other blogs for not believing/posting potential spam. I feel like it’s becoming a problem and nobody cares and it’s driving me crazy tbh

especially if you dealt with the porn bot surge, it’s so obvious that these asks are all spam bots. because no, gazans are not creating tungle blogs and sending mass copy paste messages to random blogs all day every day begging for money. I dare one of these “but we vetted it!” people to reverse image search the pfp, header, or any of the trauma porn images posted with no caption on these spam accounts. there’s already so many donation posts with actual ways to donate and send aid to gaza- why the fuck would anyone need to be pressured into sending money to an unverifiable person on the internet. it’s so dumb. people have been saying if you fall for these bots then you’d give your social security numbers to a nigerian prince in your email and they’re not wrong.

Taking care of Vil during Halloween Week

notes: reposting bc I’m deleting my archived sideblogs. this man needs a break.

contains: vil schoenheit x gn!reader

warnings: none

Vil is literally so tired and stressed. They all are but I mean just look at him during the committee meeting before the thing with the statues happened, everyone else has an obviously upset expression on their face and Vil looks absolutely exhausted too but he’s leading this whole thing and he’s used to dealing with overwhelming fans or “magicam monsters” so he’s trying to hold it together for the rest of the group. And then the statue of his role model gets thrown to the ground. You can see how upset and disappointed he is. So it’s pretty much inevitable that the more Halloween week progresses, the more tired Vil is by the end of the day

It honestly starts off pretty normal. You two appreciate each other’s costumes and you love seeing how Vil handles the kids and the visitors. He’s so gentle to them which makes you weak in the knees and makes your heart melt. He likes all the Halloween costumes of the dorms so even if you’re not in the same dorm he’ll find you pretty.

If you’re in Pomefiore you help him setting up his venue and dealing with the visitors and his fans. You occasionally bring him a glass of water or smile at him from across the room. He’s pretty busy so you two don’t get to interact much during the day.

If you’re in another dorm one of you two will find time to visit the other at least once on each day of Halloween week. Most likely it’s you visiting the Mirror Chamber because Vil hardly gets away from the fans. His eyes light up when he sees you, it’s like receiving a well-deserved break in the middle of a stressful work day.

Usually, as we know from his personal story, he doesn’t take photos for free but since he’s taking pics with the children, you definitely deserve some too! He takes some selfies with you and group pictures with you two, Rook and Epel. You find him smiling on those the most, more so than on the pictures with his fans.

Will squeeze your hand when no one’s looking.

At the end of the day you always excitedly tell each other about your experiences with the guests and show the photos you’ve taken during the day. He tells you how much he missed you and presses a kiss to your forehead when you say good night to him.

It’s when the magicam monsters start becoming a problem that Vil really needs you to make it through all the stress. Because Vil cares deeply about Night Raven College and he obviously takes pride in being a student there so even though he might not show it, he actually gets pretty worried that his fans might cause trouble in the school or for his fellow Pomefiore students and lowkey blames himself and his presence whenever this happens.

After the guests left he meets up with you in his room and you instantly notice he needs some help relaxing after all of this.

You help him remove his makeup and apply his skincare routine. There are a lot of steps and things to consider but it’s like learning to drive, it might seem overwhelming and like too much information at first but with time you get the gist of Vils evening routine. Vil has probably a major headache by then and enjoys not having to do this himself for once. It’s refreshing for him. Will criticize you though if you forget something or a spot on his face that still has makeup on it. That’s just how he is. You press a kiss to his forehead once you’re done removing his makeup.

He’ll give you a weak smile and once he changed from his costume to more comfortable clothes, he’ll collapse into bed, place his head into your lap and most likely falls asleep instantly for a short time while you run your fingers through his hair. Vil is touch-starved™, so watch him lean into your touch and smile with his eyes closed as he drifts off to sleep.

Sleep, in that case, is more like a short nap. He wakes up after about 30 minutes, still feeling absolutely drained but energized enough to go on an angry rant about the magicam monsters. Obviously he’s very stressed and you listen to him attentively, resuming to run your fingers through the strands of blond hair or over his back, but let’s be honest, Vil going on an angry rant is also kind of funny. Remember that time he scolded Malleus for talking about the differences between dragons and dragon fae for an hour? It’s like that but he talks like this for a solid 10-15 minutes.

“How can those people not have the necessary respect to at least follow the rules we give them after all the work we put into organizing this Halloween week for them???!?!” “Careful Vil, if you continue like this you’re going to get wrinkles on your face”, you tease him and chuckle. Bad idea. Now you have to convince him that he definitely doesn’t have any wrinkles on his face. Will compulsively get off the bed and inspect his skin in the mirror.

Once he’s satisfied with not finding any wrinkles he sits back down on the bed. You start massaging his shoulders and back to help him relax. His muscles are strained and stiff after those days so he welcomes the massage. Closes his eyes and just sits there enjoying your touch.

Honestly Vil is one of those people who just adore to be pampered. If you know how to do that, especially when he’s tired and stressed, Vil Schoenheit is yours in a heartbeat. After you’re done with the massage he leans his back against you and you wrap your arms around his waist from behind, leaning your cheek against his shoulder.

“I love you, Vil”, you whisper, placing several soft kisses to the back of his neck. “What would I do without you, potato?”, he says with a gentle voice and turns around, smiling at you.

You two share multiple sweet kisses and he leans his forehead against yours, apologizing for not being able to do the same things for you that you’re doing for him these days. You understand him though, after all your role in Halloween week is rather being supportive of Vil and the fellow students of your dorm from the background while Vil is constantly surrounded by visitors, hardly catching a free minute during the day. Besides, you love taking care of him after all.

You’ll eventually lay down to cuddle and Vil falls asleep in your arms. Vil is also 1000% the little spoon and I will take no criticism on that.

You two laugh after the night when all the students collectively scared the magicam monsters off the campus, sharing the things that happened and the stories about how the other dorms managed to scare them off. Vil is in a rather good mood after that night.

Will formally ask you to accompany him to the party on the 31st. He’s extra dramatic about it, adressing you as “dearest y/n” and bringing you flowers that reminded him of you. Of course he’ll do your hair and makeup for that party because what else do you expect of him. “Thank you for being there for me all this time”, he holds your hand all the way from the Pomefiore dorm to the place where the Halloween party is.

Honestly, Lily talking about how she's so much happier / grown so much / ' moved on', and then telling her victims to k-word themselves while continuing to run at the mouth about them, is something she's been doing for years.

She's never going to actually get better or change. She's all talk, no action.

actually, now that i have been reading again through Cypher's posts from 2 years ago, i can say very confidently that LO has not changed at all. not even a little bit, not even by chance.

claiming to have gone through something traumatic when people start accusing her of something? check.

even if that something traumatic is something that she herself contradicts because she didn't care to think more about it? check.

completely twisting the story of what happened that got her called out in the first place to the point it doesn't even make sense anymore? check.

accusing her stalkers of being a hivemind with multiple sideblogs for no reason at all? check.

try to use her wife as a softener for her abusive behavior? check.

using sucki boy specifically to try to combat allegations? check.

accusing her "stalkers" of grooming with extremely weak reasoning to make herself the victim? check.

being a general nightmare to be around to the point she keeps losing friends and she keeps accusing them of being the real problem after all? check.

blocking and ghosting so called friends for petty or unexplained reasons? check.

threatening people with the whole legal power of Saul Goodman, her lawyer that absolutely exist, but never having anything to show for? check.

using MO as a honeypot to keep people around? check.

i could go on actually, but i think you got the idea. time is nothing but a flat circle and LO is taking us for another spin. this woman truly has never had a single original thought.

i wonder what other ways to keep doing the exact same thing she has done the entire time will LO use. let's see and find out.

[real-total-drama-takes]

@ the anon that asked about why people don’t like Nemma (my apologies if this gets long): their relationship is typically regarded as “bad” simply because Noah acts out of character when he’s around her and Emma tends to be a bit controlling. People also don’t like that they’re BOTH sarcastic and kinda mean sometimes; people tend to prefer relationships between characters that are very different from each other.

Noah gets all lovey-dovey around her. It was the same problem that Aleheather had in All Stars where any personality they had once they’re together is just kind of taken away. Granted, he still acts mostly like himself when he’s talking about her with Owen, but when he’s with her? That’s not Noah. Noah wouldn’t say or do half the things he does in that season.

The whole Emma-is-controlling thing comes from the fact that she says that they’ll get together after SHE wins, not after one of them wins. And also she generally just gets a little…obsessive? I think? I’m not sure if “obsessive” is the correct word to use here but I think (and please correct me if I’m wrong) there’s a line where she mentions cutting a piece of Noah’s hair without his permission and she also directly causes the twins’ elimination for Noah through a method that was generally just Not Nice. Not Good.

Most of this is usually up to personal interpretation of the characters, of course. Like if you think Noah WOULD act like that in a relationship, I’m not going to say you’re wrong.

I’m not personally a fan of Nemma myself so I might be biased but those are just The General Reasons Why people dislike Nemma

There’s also people who just hate Nemma in general because Emma “gets in the way of shipping Noah with other people” which is just Not A Great Reason Actually tbh

Anyways I hope this explanation helps :) Have a good day!! /gen

[lockandkeyhyena]

as someone who's JUST been raped again this whole story thing you have going on feels like a huge betrayal. sorry not sorry but rape culture already forgives abusers, ESPECIALLY if they're male, and your story contributes to normalizing abuse because "ohhh the rapist is just a little guy!! the rapist ALSO has feewings ohhhh they're sooooo sad they totally regret doing this guys". have you seen how the public response towards sa/csa allegations against celebrities usually goes? the VERY first thing people do is jump to the rapist's defense because they seem so normal, how could they? obviously the accuser is lying. your attempt to "humanize" your abuser oc is deeply insulting and though i do agree that punitive justice does more harm than good in the long run the thread of logic you're spinning wrt this situation more often than not culminates in villifying victims when they're caught venting — as if victims of other crimes (or their families) don't also do this and as if expressing anger inmediately turns us into monsters, you know? i would much, much rather an actual rape victim tackled this rather than someone who needs to do research on how it feels to be raped and is using a deeply traumatizing event as a fun little hypothetical in all honesty. boost our voices if you want but don't twist our experiences into... this.

my advice on what to do with the story: absolutely DON'T post it on this account because warriors has a huge pedo problem and they will jump on the opportunity to absolve themselves via your characters. if you really want to keep going make a sideblog with a different name and trigger tag your stuff appropiately. this is like, common practice regarding nsfw stuff

hey, you’ve just undergone an incredibly traumatising event and are feeling all your emotions very highly right now, i completely understand where you’re coming from but i have given every possible warning and and way for you to avoid seeing this content.

for your own personal mental health, i highly highly recommend you block me and avoid looking at my content if it’s going to trigger you so intensely. you shouldn’t be so attached to my online persona that me exploring different topics in my work feels as though a personal betrayal to you.

the pedophile problem in the warrior cats community is not something i am personally responsible for, nor is it something that i should have to curate my space to avoid. it is not my job to cater to the media illiteracy of potential viewers.

additionally, i don’t intend to, nor would i *ever* create nsfw content regarding such a story and the insinuation that i would is deeply upsetting. sexual assault should not be an adults only topic.

finally, i understand your feelings that this story may be better if told by an actual rape victim- and i don’t disagree, but several rape victims have offered their assistance with this project and volunteered personal anecdotes and advice for writing about it.

ultimately, i feel as though i am doing my very best to handle the story with tact and grace, and while i am not against criticism, i feel as though you haven’t offered substantive evidence of such towards me.

still, i appreciate you giving your feedback, and i hope you block me so as not to trigger you any further. apologies if any of this comes across as aggressive or patronising, it is not my intent.

The Walten Files: the story of Linda Thompson’s involvement and its consequences

Please note that I actually haven’t been in the fandom for years, this is just me organizing what I believe to be the story regarding Linda. I used to have a whole sideblog where the whole joke was how much I love her, so….

Linda Thompson was Jack Walten’s cousin. They were pretty close, maybe they were both only children and close in age, so every family reunion they would play with each other.

Perhaps, Linda even introduced Jack and Rosemary. What definitely happened was that Jack introduced her and Felix. Felix was immediately smitten, regarding Linda as the most beautiful woman he’s ever met. She did fit the beauty standard quite nicely: blonde-haired, blue-eyed all-american girl. It was almost hard to believe her and Jack were closely related with how different they looked.

She married Felix and for the first while he was the perfect, loving husband, even making the company’s uniform her favorite color - purple. A bit too nervous at times, and really obsessed with his work, but that only left her more time to visit the Waltens and become better friends with Rosemary, as well as a real auntie for their kids. To the point, that, inspired by her husband’s and cousin’s clear fascination with rabbits, she sewed a gray plush rabbit for the kids.

But Felix and Linda had fertility problems, and Felix’s drinking was becoming less and less “having fun with friends” and more and more “when was the last time you were sober”, which couldn’t have helped.

She still stayed for a while - she truly did love Felix, and believed the magic of their early days could be reborn. And also, for a while, she felt like she couldn’t leave Jack and his family behind, since they are her family too.

But she finally decided to do it. Felix was busy - first at work, then he’d have to look after Jack’s kids at a school party, so he wouldn’t be home until late. She called Jack to pick her up and explained the situation. He helped her pack her things while she wrote her goodbye note, and they were off.

As they drove towards the train station past the woods, Linda noticed something on the ground - a gray bunny she made for the kids. She pointed it out to Jack, and he said the kids were probably playing and threw it out of the open window in the car on their way home. They picked up the bunny and Linda rushed Jack to take her to the train station: Felix must be getting home by now and who knows how he might react to her leaving.

But when Jack returned home after dropping Linda off, his kids weren’t there. He propped the toy in the kitchen and called Felix, but he didn’t pick up. He kept on leaving increasingly irritated voice messages on his phone.

In the meantime, Felix returned home to find it folder than it ever was. Pictures taken down from walls, half the closet empty, the only food are at least a day-old leftovers, and his wife’s diary open on the bed. The weight of the day crashed over him and he had a complete mental breakdown as the phone played back Jack screaming and shouting.

Felix spiraled from there. Over time his mind twisted. Everything appeared ugly to him, everything except the picture of Linda he kept in his wallet, which he’d grown to treat like an image of God. He tried to get her back, but she kept slipping away.

And then, twisted thoughts began to bubble in his mind. He just has to remake Linda. He’s an inventor, he can build an animatronic, he can build her too. He just needs to find spare parts, something close enough to be able to recreate her. Someone close enough.

After the attempt with Jack turned out a failure, he turned to Rosemary. To the one lady in his company that he could swear had the same smile as Linda. He was obsessed with the idea of making a perfectly beautiful specimen, to remaking his wife. In his mind, he was almost finally making a child with her. And it had to be beautiful.

He kept Rocket because she made it. Many years later, he attacked a man with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing purple - for a moment, he thought he was her, and when he wasn’t, he flew into a rage.

And now he’s on the hunt for Rosemary - the last Walten - because of how many times Linda mentioned that she feels like Rosemary is her baby too.

@mortau asked way too many questions 6, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22

Damn, dude. Alright, let's do this.

Other characters/muns you’re interested in roleplaying with?

Frankly, if I had to pick one group of characters, it'd be Yakuza. I want to get more use out of my Yakuza muses over on my multimuse. That being said, as far as characters and muns go, I'm usually pretty open and I really enjoy OCs.

Would you get along with your muse?

I'd like to believe so. I won't go as far as to say that Matthew is a self-insert(I mean for starters, he's Brazilian-American, I'm white as shit), but I do have a lot of similar interests to him. Now whether that was intentional or just a side effect of him being my muse is up in the air, but I have a feeling he and I would be pretty chill.

What’s your opinion on blog themes? How do you feel about your own?

I feel like blog themes can be neat, but I think they're a pain in the ass to deal with. I'm kinda neutral on the ones I'm using right now, and I think the coolest one I have right now is over on the reboot blog, @everglow-synth-reboot, but even then because of the HTML lock shit that tumblr implemented, I've just moved onto using a Carrd anyway. It's gotten to the point where my newest sideblog, @golden-lynel, doesn't even have a theme, and is dash only.

What’s something that would make you unfollow a mutual?

Truth be told, there aren't a whole lot of things? I tend to be fairly chill, and I also more or less vet my potential mutuals? But as a hypothetical thing it'd probably be just outright harassment as a big thing. There's a whole slew of others I could think of, ranging from stuff like actual predatory behavior to just being a petty piece of shit, but I don't think I've really run into that problem overall.

Three big no-nos to do or say to your muse. (their ‘berserk button’)

Hurting his friends is a huge thing. Hurting anyone definitely due to his heroic nature, but those closer to him are much more precious.

Threatening the Lounge itself. This is his baby, he put in a lot of work to make the place a comfy spot for people, and he's not going to let it go down without a fight.

To a lesser extent, "You won't; no balls." Because then he'll do it, and when he succeeds, he's going to be super annoying about it.

Three interesting little tidbits or facts of your muse.

Matthew, and Polycus as a whole, was made based off of a Dungeons & Dragons 5e supplement known as Lasers & Liches. It's very fun, I highly recommend it if you play 5e. It turns the whole game into a silly Saturday Morning Cartoon, complete with new classes based on stuff like Sailor Moon and Kamen Rider. This is why magic is a huge part of the world, as well as stuff like dwarves, elves and orcs being present in Neo Arcadia.

He once swallowed a quarter on a dare. It took three minutes of him choking, drinking water, and nearly throwing up to get it down. He doesn't know what happened to it. He is still scared to this day.

Despite living there most of his life, Matthew still gets lost in Neo Arcadia sometimes. It gets so bad that he literally needs to climb up the highest building he can find just to get his bearings, usually meaning following billboards and business signs to get around.

10 fandoms, 10 characters, 10 tags:

Basic rules: choose 10 fandoms that you are part of/support, and choose a favorite character from each of those. Then, tag ten folks!

Tagged by: @jigschosai @sealrock @reikatsukihana and @sasslett! Thank y'all :'D

This is not ordered by how much I'm into them, they're just in whatever order came to mind :) I will caution that I don't tend to choose favorite characters, I'm more of an OC maker. Feeling chatty, so I'm putting the actual list under a cut. You're welcome.

1. FFXIV : Pretty self-explanatory for the xiv sideblog. Since I'm not as in to the MSQ, I don't think I actually have a favorite character (which I know is illegal, I'm sorry :<). I really love seeing what the community does with the characters, though!

2. Halo : The storyline went to hell long ago, but I do still adore the original trilogy and constantly mine it for gpose captions. It was basically what I lived off of in high school. If I had a tumblr back then, I'd have been insufferable. Favorite character is easily Rtas 'Vadum.

3. WoW : Kind of. Asterisk. I really only know Classic, and even then, I'm way more Horde than I am Alliance. I have approximate knowledge of many things. No favorite there either - I'm all about the world and making OCs. We have two concurrent WoW tabletop games running at the moment, so this is where most of my headspace is. Their shared timeline is different from the canon, so I'm not really in the fandom per se.

4. Mass Effect : Alien dating sim, my beloved. I even enjoyed Andromeda (jump jets implemented perfectly, fun combat, the Jardaan reminded me of Forerunners). If you ask me to choose a favorite, I'll cry. How is a mother supposed to choose between her two sons (Legion and Grunt)? Drack also gets an honorary mention for his 100s of low res pictures of guns email.

5. Elder Scrolls : Mostly Skyrim, some Oblivion. I know, I'm one of those fans. Anyway, I've probably played over 1k hours of Skyrim by this point and yet. And yet! I don't have a favorite. The entirety of the Companions? I just wish that the faction questlines in Skyrim weren't "you killed 3 wolves and have been here a week. You lead us all now", but it does give me good scaffolding which. As an OC fiend. Grabby hands.

6. The World Ends With You : This game made me good at calculus in high school. My favorite character from here is Sho Minamimoto, and I was a completely normal teenager who dealt with that by doing calculus problems for fun. Turns out, the trick to get good at math is repetition.

7. Pokémon : Probably my earliest fandom. Still play the games now and again, just got Legends Arceus (super late, I know), and that's been a lot of fun. My favorite character from the franchise is Sinnoh's Rock type leader, Roark. I had a long-running sideblog dedicated to the Sinnoh region because gen IV is my favorite in general! It's inactive at the moment.

8. Guild Wars : 2, to be more precise. I started playing about a month after release, and since it's f2p, I still drop in from time to time. Like every MMO, I have no favorites. I really love playing Sylvari, though! (The glow!! The nightmare!! The [[Heart of Thorns spoiler!!]] They're just so neat)

9. Star Trek : we're now getting into "shows I watched and didn't hate" because I'm definitely not in the 'fandom' for Trek. We've been going through the old series as a way to wind down before bed, starting with TNG. We're on Enterprise now, and I'm sad that it got canceled. Still will probably have a better ending than Voyager. I don't have a favorite, but I can tell you that the writers' collective favorite must be either Seven of Nine or Data.

10. Uh. Various anime? I can't say I've recently loved any particular series to the point of fandom, but as a whole, I've been a weeb since I was in middle school. "Recent" series that I've enjoyed have included Mob Psycho and Love is War. Coincidentally, they both saved the most banger opening for their third season.

We had to stretch a little bit, but we made it to ten! Proud of this community (this community is my brain desperately trying to remember 10 things I like)

Have no idea who's been tagged in this, so if you've done this, please ignore! Or reblog it again!

the thing about tumblr's moderation is that

yes they have transphobic enforcement of the rules

some people regardless of marginalized status are breaking the rules because harassment is against the rules

a lot of the time when you report harassment you get told its not actually harassment. what you're supposed to do is FOLLOW UP TO THAT EMAIL with a screencap/link of the thing you're reporting coupled with the specific rule they are breaking

no tumblr doesn't tell you this and that's bad

tumblr's communication is bad actually

and that is because the moderation is largely all bots due to how big tumblr is as a website with how small the staff is, and always has been, relative to how big the website is

and the problem is that even if your case gets seen by a human, none of those humans have moderation TRAINING

this is relevant because what the scum mass reporting people (for spam or otherwise) have learned to do is send hate that juuuuust skirts under the line of the rules so that when you report them, technically they AREN'T breaking the rules

their goal is to provoke you into losing your cool so that you snap and say something against the rules

and then an untrained moderator who is severely underpaid looks at it (if they ever do) and the only guideline they have is pattern matching to the TOU/Community Guidelines

This is why people were getting terminated for talking about their own experiences. (IYKYK) because TECHNICALLY, since it's autobiographical, it is a real person. and TECHNICALLY that is against the rules. But untrained moderators/bots do not have the ability/time to like...use common sense.

I genuinely believe that tumblr support staff is at least trying their best, at least 50% of the time. It's just that the site is so big that they don't have the mod team to do it. They have to rely on bots that can be manipulated by spam, and the few humans they do have aren't trained to know how to spot these types of "you are being provoked into lashing out" type situations or the common sense to know "autobiographies are not the same thing as the content we're trying to prevent" because they are overworked and underpaid. This is also probably why it takes them ages to get back to you and why the communication is so bad.

The real solution is hire more humans and actually train them and stop relying on bots.

My experience with tumblr support is that aside from trying to report harassment that one time that I didn't follow up on because I didn't know you had to do that (and I know it's like why am I doing their jobs for them but with a team this small and overworked, it actually IS helpful to include the thing you're reporting again in a follow up email so that you CAN sway an actual human being) support has almost always responded to all of my bug reports extremely quickly.

They've also responded to reports of my trans friends who are publically out on this website extremely quickly too.

On the same side, they have also banned and then reinstated another trans friend 15 times for talking in detail about their transition experiences. (all text no images) Which we can all agree is fucked up. Same issue with the autobiographical experience fiasco. There was also somebody I followed who reported a bug and then tumblr noticed they had a bunch of sideblogs that were basically empty and deleted their account because of url squatting and it took them a whole week to get it back, at the cost of having to give up sideblog projects they really did intend to get to before their health took a nosedive. (Which, the thing is, TECHNICALLY, that IS url squatting! And yes, a reasonable mod team with training would be able to suss that out, but at the same time, if they let one person hoard urls to "get to eventually", even if they are sincere, how are they going to reasonably distinguish that from somebody who IS trying to exploit things? This is an unfortunate use case.)

On ANOTHER side, a lot of the people (but not all, obviously!) who get banned (popular bloggers esp) actually DID say some really vile things that most people don't know about that violates TOS/CG and the thing is is that when tumblr bans you, EVERY IMAGE from your blog, including old reblog chains, gets removed too. That's how innocuous stuff ends up getting the "this violates guidelines" picture - OP got banned for something you probably didn't see because not everybody sees every post by ever user ever, and tumblr removed all their content.

This happens to Nazis and TERFS a lot, actually, because they're very good at keeping the real heinous shit they say to their own circles. These two groups, btw, do in fact get banned a LOT and they are constantly remaking. (Tumblr is actually extremely chill about ban evasion. Due to how the moderation is, that's a good thing, but on any other website, you can in fact get banned permanently. Those websites have better moderation though.)

Overall, the problem with tumblr moderation is inconsistency. Everything is a random crapshoot to how you get treated and it's really easy to spin this as "staff is deliberately hurting XYZ" but I think the real problem under the hood is that there's simply too few humans (causing a backlog of response time/communication) + over reliance on bots (making it easy to spam report people into getting their blogs banned) + the few humans they do have are untrained and underpaid (making them want to close cases as quickly as possible to move on to the next one/being unsure of how to make moderation decisions so they rely on strict interpretations of the rules.)

Basically, tumblr is not actively malicious (with the exception of that one transphobic moderator they since fired apparently), they are randomly incompetent. And the randomness is what makes this truly awful.

welcome back, anon. your ask is very long & mentioned an ao3 author by name who i'm not sure would want to be associated with my blog, so i've taken screenshots of the ask and blocked the author & title out. ask & answer below the cut. (text id in alts as usual.)

anon, i'm sorry, but it's too early for this. some bullet points:

your ask was not motivational, it was pretty mean (or, perhaps, "blunt and negative," to use your phrasing). and while you are entitled to your opinion of me, whatever that is, i also don't understand why you would want to follow someone you find that annoying.

if you are genuinely trying to help in future, an example of someone essentially telling me the same thing in a more motivational way is the ask i received from super-kame-love yesterday which identified the same problem and also provided a resource to try and combat it. you'll note from their ask they never called me names or used demeaning language. if you're trying to be helpful, this is a better blueprint.

to be clear: those screenshots i included in my reply yesterday are not of negative comments sent to me by someone else. they are of posts i made on a private side blog on tuesday after receiving your first comment & the comment someone else (i assume someone else, anyway) sent me accusing me of sending your ask to myself for attention, which, when combined with your ask about how nagging & attention-seeking i am, made me feel like total & utter garbage. like everyone in the world felt the same way about me & hated me for it.

i use that sideblog as a vent space and you have no idea how fucking dark it gets there. i don't need anyone to leave me negative comments because anything even remotely unkind you or anyone else thinks about me, i guarantee i have already thought of & told myself a thousand times over in much crueler language. i seem sad all the time? yeah, i am sad all the time, i suffer from crippling depression & anxiety which ruins my life & i am in treatment for.

you keep repeating how much more popular smut is. you do know that i write smut, right? that the whole reason i started this blog was to write & publish smut? maybe i don't write the kind of smut you like, but i do write it.

and while sure tiktok can be used to promote fanfic (i mean, i guess? idk.), most of the people i am comparing myself to do not, so you can stop telling me about tiktok. i don't use it and i have no interest in it.

if you think i'm just "sad to gain attention," then maybe you shouldn't follow me. it doesn't seem like you enjoy following me very much if you feel the need to send these long asks about all the things i am doing wrong. i'm sorry to have confused you with the screenshots, but i am pretty uninterested in cointinuing this dialogue if i am honest.

the fact is, what you see of me as lemony-snickers is only one tiny fragment of my life. a vague citrus-shaped snippet. when you call people names (and yeah, calling me a nagging girlfriend counts, i think), it has repercussions. i'm an actual person with actual feelings that were actually hurt by what you sent. it would have hurt regardless, but it had a huge & negative impact not only on that particular day, but spiraling through the rest of my week, because of things happening in my life that you didn't see.

and lastly, anon, if you aren't leaving comments or supporting creators that you enjoy by reblogging their work, you are part of the problem. and to tell someone to stop being sad about interactions when you specifically make the choice not to interact is pretty tone deaf, honestly.

[ellies-enrichment]

a short lil intro to the blog (4 months late)

my name is nikki, this is a sideblog i made so i wouldn’t spoil the show or game for my mutuals after i started part 2, i will like & follow from @mickeysjones

spam liking, reblogging or commenting doesn’t bother me. please feel free to be as unhinged as you want in my activity i don’t care (i actually care very much it makes me happy to see spammed likes/reblogs)

every spoiler (major plot point or new episodes) will be tagged with tlou spoilers for the show & tlou part 2 spoilers for the second game. episodes will not be tagged as spoilers after the newest one comes on

2x01 premieres = 7 days of spoiler tagging. when 2x02 premieres, 2x01 no longer gets tagged as a spoiler, etc.

stories are tagged under fics & my fics (tagging here can get iffy but fics should get you everywhere you need)

tlou edits is a tag i use in all of my silly little video edit posts (champagne problems(tess&joel) / chug jug with you(ellie&joel) etc)

incorrect tlou quotes is where the magic happens. it’s just me rewriting the show to be sillier i guess

i post all of my photomode pictures on @anotheremptymeme but the lockscreen/lockscreens tags on this blog have the vertical pictures

i make text post memes but don’t organize them into a whole tag so; ellie text for ellie memes, joel text for joel memes, tommy text for tommy etc etc

you can find me in various places throughout the internet.

my tiktok,

my youtube for edits,

my youtube for game stuff,

my twitch, (work in progress)

my twitter,

my ao3,

but i am mostly active on here or on my main

please feel free to drop in my ask about anything from headcanons to fic ideas, or any randomness. unlike ellie, i tend not to bite

finally, almost everything is unserious. i made this blog to be silly and have fun because i genuinely love the games and show but it can be one of the saddest medias i’ve ever consumed so i try to make it bearable
