#bc that'd explain it... a little bit

[nickeeree]

i met a slugpup in Rubicon during my second Saint playthrough

i don't have a -slightest- idea how this is possible but i think we were both equally horrified by the fact

named him Surv because how the fuck did you get here little man you're not supposed to be here

[misc-obeyme]

mc with a tramp stamp that usually stays covered but one day their shirt rides up a bit and the charas see it for the first time

asmo Loves it deadass squeals when he sees it and goes to lift ur shirt up a bit more to better inspect it. gushes over how it looks so cute and shows u his

mammon is a blushing mess 'oy, pull your shirt down will ya?!?'

diavolo is fascinated asks what it is and when u reply 'tranp stamp' asks wtf that means and now ur explaining early 2000s culture to a massive demon prince whos hanging on to ur every word bc humans are just so interesting and now he wants low rise jeans (someone save barbatos)

satan sees it and starts asking if youve heard about the ancient egyptian mummies found w lower back tatts and the cultural implications of them in that time vs now

inspired by the fact i just got a dinosaur themed tramp stamp and its fucking awesome -🥐

I would sell my soul just to see Diavolo in low rise jeans.

Ahhh the tramp stamp! I'm having nostalgic flashbacks. I refuse to say how old I was in the early aughts, but you can be sure I experienced those trends first hand.

Though I have to say, I don't think I've seen a dinosaur themed tramp stamp! That sounds epic, I have no doubt that it is indeed fucking awesome.

I agree with all your speculations on character reactions. Poor Mammon wouldn't even know what to do with himself.

I see Lucifer acting like he's all indifferent, but secretly he thinks it's cute and sexy.

Levi is also flustered, I can't see him handling the sight of it, either.

I think both Beel and Belphie would be curious about it... and I could see Belphie being like yeah okay now I want one. Beel has to get one too then because the twins should match, right? Please that'd be so cute. Especially if they got something that matches MC's.

Personally I think Simeon would look amazing with a tramp stamp. I'm imagining some kind of angel theme with little wings and such lol it'd be so cute!

Then there are certain characters that I think would deliberately try to expose it (*cough* Solomon *cough*) just because it's cute and they like to see it~

[somefuckingguysblog]

rating how fuckable the men in God of War are (as a dilf lover and also a queer gay man)

1. Kratos, 10/10. I love big beefy men. What else can i say. For reasons i cannot express, he seems like a switch who prefers to bottom. Not that'd he'll tell anyone that.

2. Thor, 9/10. Again, I love big men. Points taken off for the alcoholism, but dudes trying. I'll get him therapy bc he needs it.

3. Týr, 10/10. Silly little man. Hes so skrunkly skrimblo. Also the imitial scene where he stands up compleatly and overshadows Kratos does things to me. I more wanna be friends with him and smoke that zaza of asgard but im giving him a 10/10 as compenation for forgetting him when i initially made this post.

4. Sindri, 10/10. I love him so fucking much i cannot even begin to explain it. He'd proabbly be very sweet but shy, hes not very experienced. Bfok has more expereince than him. Also, praise kink.

5. Brok, 9/10. Again, i cannot beguin to explain how much i love him. However, im taking points off just because while i do love him, i like Sindri way more. Also, if i had a dime for everytime ive liked a blue, short, crude older brother type, i'd have two dimes. which isnt alot, but itd weird that it happened twice right? (/ref) But he'd proabbly be suprisingly gentle, and prefer to bottom. Though hes not used ot it, he dosent mind being taken care of and probably has alot of body image issues,

6. Freyr, 7/10. I personally wouldn't fuck him, but i can see the appeal. Just not my kinda guy.

7. Mimir, 8/10. Man can GET IT. He knows how to please both men and women, and hes exceptional at giving head. (see what i did there lol) Points taken off for being only a head.

8. Heimdall, 0/10. I hate Heimdall with a passion, and i want to curb stomp his head in. Bro is lirerally a grown ass man and he picked a fight with a 16 year old child. Fuck off. Heimdall lovers dni./j

9. Baldur, 6/10. I contimplated putting him here, but i decided to because why not. I can see the appeal, and while i do love crazy men, hes a bit too crazy for my liking. Yall continue to slay.

10. Odin, 0/10. Self explanitory. I like old men, but not asshole manipulatirs. I also want to curb stoml his head in, but in a way thats already been done for me. (thanks Sindri <3)

hi love, i missed your fics❤️i had a request for you!

jimin & hoseok go live together after a concert and jimin can’t stop sneezing bc of his allergies. (add your little bless you commentary pls it’s so cute😔)

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them, I'm sorry I disappeared for a bit but I think I fixed my mental state enough to write again 😅 for the first time in a month and a half I'm actually decently happy with this one.

In case you missed it in the request..

Warning: sneeze content

"I love you! I'll see you tomorrow!" Namjoon calls ad the seven boys slowly disappeared underneath the stage.

Jimin tried to speak, but the itch in his nose he's been trying to ignore all concert was building up, so he opted to make a heart above his head instead, scrunching his nose to try to hold the sneeze in for a few seconds longer.

"Eh..heh'tichi!" Jimin sneezes as soon as the lift drops him out of sight of Army sniffling to stop his nose from dripping. "Heh'hehitchi!" The sneezes he was holding back hit him all at once, Hoseok wrapping an arm around him to keep him from falling while the lift drops to the floor. "He..heheigh!"

"Aiigo..Bless you..are you sure you aren't sick, Jiminie?" Hoseok asks Jimin, rubbing the back of his neck. "You don't feel warm.."

"I'm fine, hyung. Staff already checked..che..sh..tich!" Jimin sneezes again, rubbing his finger across his nose. "I saw a doctor this morning before the concert. There's something about the air here that's setting off my allergies.."

"Did you take any medicine?" Hoseok asks, searching for a tissue for Jimin's runny nose, bringing him the box.

"Thanks hyung.. I don't understand..I'm usually not allergic to pollens.." Jimin blows his nose, sniffling again. "Yeah. I did before the show, but it really started wearing off during dope. I almost sneezed during my part..it was awful.. my nose itched so much.." he complains, his breath hitching for another sneeze that doesn't come. "Ugh.. I promised Army I would do a live tonight because I didn't join you guys for the live in Amsterdam."

"Army will understand if you aren't feeling well and skip it until you feel better." Hoseok reassures him, rubbing his dongsaeng's neck.

Jimin doesn't answer right away, trying to tickle the painful sneeze out of him, his breath hitching once more. "Heh..heiycvh!"

"Bless you.. Jiminie you don't need to force.." Hoseok starts, but Jimin interrupts him.

"No, no they'll only worry if they noticed I was sneezing a lot on stage then don't keep my promise. I want to at least expl..ah..heh'tichiu!" Jimin sneezes into the tissue, trying to clean up the mess that dripped from him.

"Are you sure you're okay Jiminie?" Namjoon asks, offering Jimin some water. "You've been sneezing quite a bit today.."

"Jiminies having issues with his allergies..I noticed there's a lot of plants I've never seen before by the hotel and stadium. Maybe one of those are setting them off." Hoseok explains for Jimin when he notices Jimin's face contorting as another sneeze builds.

"Heh'heh..ktchitxh!" Jimin stops fighting the sneeze when Hoseok finished talking, taking the water Namjoon offered. "Thanks Hyung.. all this sneezing is starting to hurt my throat..I'm surprised Taehyung-ah doesn't lose his voice when he sneezes.."

"Bless you.. make sure you wear a mask when you aren't singing to try to reduce the pollen that you breathe in.." Namjoon tells him with concern. "I'll ask staff to get you one with a filtering system."

"Thanks hyung.." Jimin takes a drink of water, trying to soothe his scratchy throat."Jungkookie seemed pretty sniffly today too. You should get..h..hey..iyfxh!' Another sneeze erupts from Jimin.

"I'll make sure he gets checked, too. Hopefully, it's just allergies for him too." Namjoon leaves to check on Jungkook.

"Go get changed so you can go home. I'll join you for a quick live session, okay, Jiminie. It'll be easier to do a live with another person with you." Hoseok offers.

"Thanks, hyungie. That'd be great."

Jimin followed Namjoon's advice, pulling up his mask as soon as they pulled up to the hotel, but he swore that whatever was setting off his allergies were still penetrating through the mask, causing an unbearable itch at the bridge of his nose.

Hoseok leads him inside, quickly using his key card to open the door to the hotel keeping his arm around Jimin's shoulder.

"He..he'hitch.." Jimin sneezes, grimacing when he feels the liquid drip down his nose and soak into the mask. "Eugh.." Jimin sniffles unhappily, not wanting to remove it until he was safely in the hotel room.

"Bless you Jimin-ah.. the medicine will kick in soon.. we can stay live until the sneezes settle down, but you should sleep after." Hoseok leads him to his room, fighting back a yawn.

"It's okay if you get tired, hyung. You can leave whenever you..he..geychi!"

"Bless you.." Hoseok says sympathetically.

"I can do it on my own or ask Jungkookie or Taehyungie to do it if you're tired.." Jimin digs out his key to his room.

"I'm not tired, Jiminie. I'm hungry..don't worry about me. Let Taehyungie and jaykay sleep. Those two were already falling asleep on the ride home." Hoseok reassures him, going into Jimin's bathroom to get a washcloth, wetting it and returning to Jimin, wiping his face clean. "Your nose is still so red, baby."

"Hyung that tick..eh..heh'tichi! Heyh..hitdhu!" Jimin sneezes, quickly backing up to avoid sneezing on Hoseok.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it worse.." Hoseok apologizes, giving Jimin the wet cloth.

"Heh'itchiiugh...it's okay.." Jimin sniffles, wiping his face.

"Bless you.." Hoseok goes to the humidifier at the side of Jimin's bed, hoping it would help. "I'm going to make food, do you want anything?"

"I'd like some ramen.. something a little spicy to help clear my nose." Jimin starts setting up for the live, adjusting his phone so both him and Hoseok could be in frame.

"Alright, coming right up. You can start without me while I cook."Hoseok starts boiling water for them.

Jimin goes to speak, but ends up sneezing instead. "Heh..heditxxchu!"

"Bless you Jimin-ah. I'll make you some tea too." Hoseok searches for teabags in the kitchen.

"I'm going to fix up my make up first.." Jimin goes into the bathroom, blowing his nose once more before trying to use some concealer to lessen the redness. "Ugh..my eyes are a bit puffy..and I look like Rudolph..!"

Hoseok giggles when he hears Jimin whining at his reflection. "You still look cute." He calls to him, reassuring the younger boy about his insecurities. "Army will still think you're adorable too."

You're just saying that..I'll just do what i can to cover it up, maybe if i dont sit too close to the camera no one will notice. Jimin finishes up his face just as Hoseok gets the noodles into the living room. "Foods done?"

"Yeah, but it's still super hot. I burnt my mouth trying it.." Hoseok warns, sipping some water to try to soothe his tongue.

"I'll be sure to..to..hyh..heh'tichi!" Jimin sneezes, sighing irritably. "That one hurt..:

"Bless you.. Are you okay?" Hoseok asks, concern etched on his face.

"Yeah.. I'm okay.. are you ready for the live?" Jimin checks the angle once more before sitting down next to Hoseok.

"Ready when you are." Hoseok confirms, blowing on his noodles to try to get a not so painful bite.

Jimin hits play, picking up his noodles, surprised that within seconds there were already people in the chat. "Hello army.."

"Hi Army." Hoseok greets the small handful of people who already entered, then slurps his noodles. "Aiish, I shouldn't be eating noodles before the show tomorrow, my face is going to be so puffy.."

"You look cute with chub..ch.." Jimin puts up a finger thinking he had to sneeze, but nothing comes. "Chubby looking cheeks." He finishes his sentence, taking a bite of noodles.

The two eat chatting with each each other while they wait for more army to join, watching the comment section.

LovePJM13: hi Jimin oppa, I saw the show tonight and it was amazing, but in one of the photos I took it looks like you were crying. Are you okay?

"Ah, no. No i wasn't crying at all tonight. I was really..ah..Heh'hehitchi!" Jimin sneezes before he could put the noodles down to cover his face, choking on the noodles.

"Bless you baby..Are you okay? Drink some of your tea.. " Hoseok quickly takes the bowl from him and moves the camera so Jimin is out of frame, rubbing his back to try to ease his cough.

Jimin takes a drink of the tea, trying to wash down the noodles. "Yeah,yeah, I'm okay now..but that was awful.."

"Here.. you got broth on your face." J-hope uses his sleeve to wipe Jimin's chin. "Ah, the chat is worried.."

Jimin looks over, noticing the comment section flooding with concern. "Don't worry. I'm fine. It didn't really hurt it scared me more than anything.."

Tannie13: Do you have a cold?

Jungshookie9: Are you sick? I saw you sneezing during spring day..

Hoseok readjusted the camera so they could sit on the floor, looking through the comments. "Jiminie isn't sick. It's just allergies. Him and Jungkookie are both having issues, but it's worse for Jiminie."

"We'll only be here for another two days. I'll be fine. It's more annoying than anything." Jimin tries to reassure army, but his body has other plans. "Heh'itcgih! Heh..itcvxhyu!" Jimin covers his face with his arms, sniffling miserably.

"Bless you Jiminie.. they really aren't going away.." Hoseok frowns, rubbing Jimin's back. "You poor thing.."

"I'm doing better than earlier.. my eyes were more puffy when I was in the bathroom.." Jimin looks at himself through the camera lens. I wish it was my sneezes improving though..

"Are you guys healthy army? I know a lot of people get sick when the seasons change. Jinnie-hyung was just getting over a cold when we left Korea for our tour.." Jimin asks, but when he tries to watch the comments, his eyes start to water, another round of sneezes building covering his face.

"Hey'Itfgih! Heh'hehitchi! Ah..ah..hitcxhi!" Jimin sneezes, quickly standing up. "I'm sorry.. I got to blow my nose.." his voice comes out congested and soft, leaving Hoseok in charge of the chat.

"Bless you.. take your time Jimin-ah, I'll keep army company." Hoseok tries to calm Jimin's concerns about having to get up so suddenly.

"Army if you saw the show tonight what was your favorite part and if you didn't go what did you do today?" Hoseok asks, watching Jimin leave with concern. "Jiminie Army says bless you!" He calls to Jimin when he finds that he can't catch any of the comments except for the bless yous and I love you Jimin that flooded the chat. "We love you Jiminie!"

Jimin was glad for Hoseok's shouting, helping to conceal the sound of him blowing his nose, the clear gooey liquid soaking through the toliet paper. Maybe I should ask Hobi-hyung to take over the live.. I'm such a mess..Army want to see me when I'm handsome and smiling..

Jimin takes out his phone to text Hoseok, hoping he'd check it, but after retouching up his make up and still not getting a response he returned to the livingroom, bowing to the stream. "Sorry everyone.. I know this isn't what you had in mind when I said I'd go live in the next city.."

"Jimin-ah, you don't need to apologize. No one's upset that you aren't feeling your best.. we're just worried about you." Hoseok pulls him into a hug.

"Hobi-hyung.. I'm so ugly and gross right now.. I think we should turn off the live and you can do one on your own for army in my place." Jimin whispers so only Hoseok hears, only earning him a tighter hug.

"Don't say stuff like that Jimin-ah, you're being too hard on yourself. You look fine.. it's just a little redness to your face, it's no big deal. Okay?" Hoseok whispers back to him, gently ruffling Jimin's hair and letting him go, turning to talk to the camera. "Army! Isn't Jimin so handsome today? I don't think a stuffy nose is enough to ruin it."

Jimin watches the comment section flood his jaw clenched with nerves. They're just going to say Hyung always thinks I'm cute or lie just to make me feel better..

DaddyJoon9:You have the cutest little sneezes I just wish they didn't make you miserable 😔

HEYStobit77:You think the sniffles are enough to ruin your pretty face? You're crazy oppa. You're still handsome!

Ot7borababy:You're still my beautiful angel. Sick or not. Just feel better soon.

Tannie13: we don't care about your looks. You're very handsome but I'm here for your sweetness, Mochi. Please smile.

Jimin tried to catch every comment that rushes by, his eyes filling with tears when he sees all the supportive comments flooding into his heart, sniffling once more.

"Jimin-ah are you crying?" Hoseok asks in concern when Jimin lays his head in his palms, letting out a shaky breath. Hoseok leans forward to read the comment section, relaxing when he sees nothing but positivity, a mix of compliments and concern. "Jimin-ah tell Army why you're crying.."

"I-i'm just happy.. Thank you Army.. I love you guys so m-much.." Jimin lifts his head to speak to them, smiling through his tears.

Hoseok uses his thumbs to dry Jimin's eyes. "Hey, hey Jimin-ah? Guess what?"

"Huh?" Jimin sniffles, looking at Hoseok's bright smile.

"You haven't sneezed since you sat back down. They're starting to stop." Hoseok announces relieved for his stressed out dongsaeng.

"Hyung..don't jinx it.." Jimin smiles, wiping his face with his sleeve. "Let's finish our noodles and get to bed.. I think I've had enough excitement for one day.."

[yonemurishiroku]

I was rereading The Blood of Olympus today, and I realized how much I just do not like Piper.

Whenever Piper is in a chapter, to me it feels like she’s always being pushy, selfish, or overprotective. Also, it may just be me with this opinion.

When Piper is in the temple of fear with Annabeth, Piper is the one who takes control of the situation. In my opinion the way Rick explained it didn’t make sense. Annabeth is the one who is always calm and collected. Even with trauma. Piper is the one who acts on impulse and what she wants, (as displayed when she jumps down the chute even though Annabeth warns her not to). Although this action may have been necessary to the mission, it what reckless.

Also, despite Piper knowing something is up with Leo, continues to treat him like a third wheel and as someone who could be sacrificed. It just doesn’t make her a likable character.

As my last little tid-bit on this topic, Piper committed crimes before becoming part of the seven. I don’t think this should be ignored as a part of her character. It shows how much she craves attention and isn’t above breaking the law to get it. There is certain things that are *somewhat* understandable for not having attention from your parents, but never should breaking the law be considered okay to do because of that.

Who knows, maybe I’m reading her character wrong but that’s the way I see her. Please dissect this.

I just want to say that, as someone who has been trying to keep it down to only Nico, to receive an ask specifically about another character I've paid no attention to surely is an experience lol.

Anyway. Let's see. From your words, Piper doesn't seem to be a likable character, which is to be expected. As far as I'm concerned though, Piper, as a character, just does not interest me enough for me to form an opinion. I'm more of a "eh whatever" or "oh. cool" when it comes to her. It also does not help that I haven't read The Lost Hero, and my brain just straight up auto-deletes everything that's not Nico-related, so you can say my grasp of Piper McLean is limited at best and non-existant at worst.

If there's anything I remember about her, then that'd be the times I had to skip some pages of her and Jason (like I did to Percabeth, bc I disliked romantic scenes with everything in me and that's nothing new).

With that being said, as someone technically blank, I feel that your dislike to Piper is already set in stone, so there's no changing to that, and it's not like you need to change anyway. I wouldn't like such a character in your description either. 😂😂😂

About that scene of Annabeth and Piper, (keep in mind that I am not aware of that scene but directly referencing it through your retelling) I think what Rick was trying is to make Piper a direct contradiction to Annabeth in terms of action repertoire - a type of recklessness to the latter's meticulousness.

(Wow Percabeth and Jiper are actually a square full of contradictions)

However. The line between 'bold, risk-taking' and straigh-up stupidity is but a fine line. I will not judge Piper without properly re-reading the whole thing (which I won't), but I can see where you get it from.

I just want to say a few words about the last part. The thing about Piper's criminal record.

I understand that, from a reader's point of view, it'd be unlikable for a character to commit a crime, specifically, to "gain attraction". Though, while the action itself is inexcusable, it should also be acknowledged that Piper - like 90% of the PJO cast - was a teenager, who grew up with barely any parental guidance (or at least that's what I remember). A figure as such is bound to make mistakes, as well as cause debates over their likeliness. I do agree that what Piper did was wrong (I mean. that's like. the law), however there's a reason and background to said wrongdoing.

It's not okay, nor is it right to do so, but it's understandable. That's all.

That is to say: fuck it. I have been resenting Percy since the day I read PJO, you can dislike Piper all you want. We're just humans, not saints. Just don't go around shitting on people with different likes then you're good to go! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

While we are at it, I'm quite curious as to how this was "ignored as a part of her character". I'm guessing that Rick failed to incorporate Piper's background into her own character as she's developed? Then that's not Piper's fault. That's just Rick and his YA writing lmao.

[p5x-theories]

Idk if there’s anything that supports or goes against this theory other than the trailer and stuff I’ve seen bc I don’t speak Japanese but. My guess from first seeing this game is that our good buddy Wonder and the gang are acting because they’re inspired by the PTs and this is like, a few years post-P5. The reason for the hero motif instead of the thief motif is because they see the PTs as heroes and are imitating them.

Honestly I think it would be so funny if that is what it is. Can you imagine? You see these Phantom Thieves of Hearts on the news, really changing things and taking down shitty people in power, and then after like a year and a half they go silent... and then suddenly now you have the power to do that?? How do you even react to that?

And then the hero vibe, too! You make a great point that if they do know of the Phantom Thieves, and see them as heroes, that'd for sure explain why the new cast's outfits seem a little more hero-y rather than thief-y. It'd certainly be interesting if the new cast went in already having an idea of what they can do with this weird world and their new power of Persona, even if they don't know how to do it yet! Would mix things up a bit from previous Persona games too, and give a reason for why they made this P5 X instead of just like, Persona 6.

[anti-endo-haven]

just getting this off my chest and ended up a lot longer than I thought.

I think we have a shell program that failed or was only made for memories (looking "unstable" and having more overt alters was seen as a point against our believability, ig. made me look crazy). it especially sucks when people will literally explain said alter to me, but then tell me it can't possibly be that bc it's not a complete cover as if they know more about me than i do. and the same people can talk about incomplete/failed programs, but then as soon as you actually have one it's all "Noooo that's not what that is it covers ALLL" like oh my god make up your mind.

it extra sucks because I can't even fully deny it at this point. we have things that can only really be explained by programming, and things more knowledgeable survivors have told us takes a lot of knowledge to implement which is horrifying but besides the point. so having to literally explain "Yes, our shell alter doesn't cover all our alters. that was honestly probably the point" over and over to be treated like we have no clue what we're talking about WITH OUR OWN ABUSE AND MANIPULATED STRUCTURE drives me up the damn wall.

you mean? my perpetrators wanted people to not believe me and make me look unstable and delusional? what a concept!

in general I swear there's this odd complex where if programs are *exactly* the same suddenly all individuality, failed/incomplete programs, or even just general knowledge on why perpetrators do this in the first place goes out the window.

like they do realize perps don't have some joint guide on how to program, right? the programs we have are just common examples? it's not like an extensive exhaustive list of all programs and their presentations? abusers just do whatever gets them what they want? and sometimes that doesn't line up with your program lists perfectly? it's not the list that makes you programmed, it's the trauma you experienced and how it manifests? right?

there's so little information for us in general I honestly don't understand. people will SAY things but literally just contradict it constantly. like they'll say there's no one programming how to, but then act like there is and that there's one way programs exist. failed and incomplete programming exists until it actually does, then that'd not *actually* programming bc it doesn't do xyz. as if that's not literally what was just said. just. ugh.

man, this has been on my mind for so long sorry this was so long. I don't really have people who understand/can talk about this stuff.

Hey, don’t be sorry about it!

Honestly, I don’t see why other survivors need to say that it has to be a certain way. Not everything will be done the same. Yes, there can be similarities, but not always.

If you feel like you know yourself better, then do it. No one else can really “know you” more than you do and it all depends on what you tell them as well.

Like it’s absolutely okay to be wrong about having a shell or just not know. We don’t even know for our own ends if there’s a shell or not, but we know about our programs and how our structure is.

No one else can really comment about what you’ve gone through and experienced and it’s not something to gatekeep either. Not at you. But at the community that can get a bit overwhelming.

Hello please tell me all about your androids/android worldbuilding <3 - @void-botanist

JDJDJDJDJDJ my favorite topic

ok so first things first you should know a few things about the union's robot laws: 1. the ai can't be "sentient" (as in, work like a mind of a person) 2. robots cannot look too much like living creatures 3. most of then require an owner (a person or a company)

now based on that: most of the robots & androids are created to do jobs that are either too dangerous or too hard. There are also robots that are like bartenders or chefs or secretaries etc., but they're more rare and are more popular in either rich spaces or spaces that refuse to pay their workers the minimum wage & instead just by a robot </3

There are also androids more suitable for "free time", like a buddy you can talk to in a cafe or a...thing for some adult time (tm).

Another field with large amount of robots or androids is the defense force, especially the groups that have something to do with the borders or with non-union planets (e.g. Dana's special squad, Five & Two). These are stronger and have better processors and are able to have conversations, but they still only either do their own job they were programmed to do, or they take orders.

Funny thing, most of the Planet Alone-time robot industries are from Mars. We'll see more about that in Cynosure.

NOW! Now that I've talked about what it's like int the most parts of the planet alone world, let's talk about Nathan & Victor.

The whole thing starts with Orion, Nathan's "dad". He's a famous politician, respected by many etc etc. and killed for something political he had almost nothing to do with. Anyway. He and his wife had a problem: they both can't have biological children, and no adoption center would give them a child bc of their busy af jobs. Orion isn't doing well bc lf that :(

Orion's friend, Matthew, is a magnificent AI programmer and had opened his robotics company a few years ago. Orion knows that he had been working on an AI that'd work just like a human mind AND a line of human-like androids, until the law mentioned at the beginning of this answer came. He didn't scrap the work though, and Orion knows that. Orion tells his situation to Matthew and begs him to finish what he started, and promises to keep it secret from everyone*, even from his future "child". Matthew agrees.

Now this AI then, clearly works just like a human mind. No additional widgets etc. The only noticiable thing is that this android doesn't have any kinds of bodily fluids. Orion explained that to his "son" as a "u were sick as a child so u r a bit Different(tm)" thing. Nathan, of course, believed everything.

They had a really amazing father-son relationship since the beginning, Orion was a perfect father. Matthew became a little bit jealous and decided to create a son for himself. An updated model, with more realistic features (like previously mentioned fluids) and more handsome. That's how we got Victor. And unlike Orion, Matthes tomd him the truth as soon as Vic actually started to understand what's going on. That gave him a god complex and a large ego but that's a thing for another day.

Now, you may wonder, how is Nathan aware of who he is now? Orion told him in the end. The poor guy did what a teen can easily do at his age - get a crush. And that obviously means a serious talk. Let's say it didn't go well and Nate ended up saying some awful things and storming out of the house, and sitting all alone with his thoughts by a river for a few hours. Once he calmed down he went back and. well. let's say he doesn't remember what actually happened**, but the first thing he remembers afterwards is sobbing in a corner bc someone killed his dad. He's not doing fine no matter what he says.

Still, because of the laws, he keeps (or well, has to keep) acting like a human and doing his own thing. Victor does too, but he's a millionaire bc he inherited his father's company.

[the-acid-pear]

My dream was very weird let me recall it as best as I can.

I remember being outside of a bar. I think I was L.L. because I spoke about being able to teleport. Some guys were ordering food and I was like nahh I'd go get some Winnie The Pooh sushi right now if I wanted... But the guy with me was like well go get that now. And I was like maybe but first I need to go to the bathroom ☹️. Two guys sorted me for some reason, I was barely walking bc i was pissing my pants so fucking bad, although earlier I had talked about having my period but when I went to pee w my weenie I started thinking of how weird that'd be for them (and fuck, even me) to understand. To pee, one of my friends ripped off one of the sink bowls (like those fancy bathrooms have, which was weird because the shop was some street food parlor falling apart) and was like Haha sorry, go ahead 😈 but I was like nah nah that'll be enough and I pushed it under the sink with my foot before unzipping and starting to pee on it. I remember being extremely flustered because I didn't want the others to see my dick, and I was also confused because I didn't know how to use one? Because this was a very fucking vivid dream.

No one said anything about my cock and I think we all left back to eat. All I remember about my Winnie The Pooh sushi is a vague figure drawn in yellow, some pile of green and a little black thing. But I didn't get to eat because I saw the old man was going to the bathroom so I rushed after him since, you know, we'd destroyed the fucking thing. Because I forgot for a second but fsr I left my cock hanging on a place similar to those were you place soap? It was a pretty good cock btw. Around 5-6 cm of length and maybe 3, 2.5 of girth? Like, measuring from the top, I don't have the resources to wrap a measurement tape around the cock in the bathroom BECAUSE...

Room was dark old man was very fucking old and first thing he did was nearly hit the sink and he laughed it off as I was like, literally grabbing my head. Because this was a fucking dangerous guy, right? This guy was serious business, we didn't wanna mess with him. So I stopped him on his tracks and after fumbling my way trying to grab a stick from the stick pile and a cloth I started washing the floor which I'm not too sure why was wet, our dirty aah shoes I suppose. And I did a shit job btw. Absolutely terrible. Old man stopped me and I was like fuck man I'm sorry it's so bad but he was like No no, this is good. He admired that I went off my way to prevent him from getting hurt and likely dying as any other idiot would've tried so he instead took me to the room nextdoor, his bedroom, and offered it as a place for me to stay.

Bedroom was a fucking mess, room had a yellow tint to it. Cracked walls, old thin bedsheets, old wood and old clothes, and the best part yet, when I leaned down for some reason I got a peek below the covers of... Black Homer Simpson. Which I soon got to see a better look of when the old man pulled off the cloth revealing Homer and I guess Bart, both black (racially ambaiguos...) and skinny to the bone, long dead, like they were two mummies. Homer's eyes were open but Bart's weren't. The old man explained the left bit of bed next to Bart was mine and the other bit of bed was his which is literally that one image I'll add afterwards.

Act 2

A big change happened after I left that place, because was I not only on a boat with a pack of criminals but I was also one of the racoon twins from HTF. I was significantly less evil than my brother and aside from real Luly watching this like a show wondering why no one shipped the racoon w the old man (now a sort of old mole, but not Mole just a similar look) (his name was alistor I think also?) I don't recall anything significant.

END OF ACT 2?

See this is where things get truly weird because I don't know when I stopped being the racoon. I remember travelling on that boat for a long time, going thru tunnels and docks but never got off until I was in this park. The park was full of humans with animals and some with babies. I don't know why we were there. Every dog we saw was big and aggressive, not outright attacking us but just letting us know a beast his size could crush us to a pulp. I suppose we were still animals.

Act 3

And it was when we were leaving that place I changed person once again, now I was this skinny blonde unassuming man, I think I was disabled too I couldn't really get words out and I just starred at people sort of confusing at everything. And I had a baby in my arms.

The baby was small, so fucking small. I could fit her in my palm, that's how tiny this baby was. And she was wrapped in a cloth. The place we were in looked like the inside of a train station. The baby was a normal size when I ran into her so called "father". He, also blonde but a more vibrant and orangey tone, I was an ashy platinum blonde, more of a square face, very manly and very European looking, started telling me to give him his baby back. He had a red university hoodie on and a turtleneck sweater peaking from underneath. I think his name was Thompson, or his surname. I really liked this baby and this guy was freaking me out and I had a vision. A memory, a flashback.

I was back in the boat. It was him and me, sitting alone in a long long table. There were no walls, it was like a train that boat of ours. A voice spoke from beyond, like a radio . "If you find Allis Calypso you have to kill him". Her words repeated in a cold manner. At the time of the dinner when I was still a raccoon I wouldn't have known it but know I did, this man in front of me trying to take this baby from me was Calypso.

And our clothes were different inside the boat, I believe we were pirates. All browns and dirty whites. His shirt was now washed pink as now he had what I can only assume was some fancy silverware, assuming by the sculpted handle, buried deep in the middle of his guts. He was a memory, he didn't react, he only fell over slightly. I started to run with the baby in my hands as the voice repeated "Just this once, you'll be forgiven. Now get out".

Act 4, final act

Now I was just running with this baby so small it got lost inside the cloth. The environment looked so familiar once more, like my very own. I knew I needed someplace for the baby, someplace to keep it safe and, hell, fucking feed lt. Baby was scarily quiet though.

I was lucky to run into a fence, tall metal one. I wasn't only scared for the baby, I was scared for myself. I had left my team behind, I had no weapons on me, and I was the most useless man they had, now on the run for murder. It was during this act someone called me Albert.

From outside the fence I saw two little kids playing, before what I can only assume was their mother came out. She was so fucking latina, she was a face I've seen so often. She had big eyes with thick kind of smudgy makeup, a teal tanktop barely covering her chest, fat as the rest of her (amen), and short jean shorts on top of flip flops. He hair was dyed, a shade darker than her skin, a vibrant brown color.

I don't even know if I said a world or if she simply started asking what was my problem and I showed the small child I was holding. She was like "y'know what? I'm still lactating (she used a different word) so just this once I'll help you".

We went to her room, it was amaizing. So familiar. She even had an old tv and a dvd player. Clothes everywhere, old messy bed, big window no curtains. She laid down in the bed, I just stood. She was beautiful, but I wasn't even remotely attracted to her. The thought only crosses my mind now as I'm awake. All I could think of was the baby in my arms.

She said she didn't cry, and for a second I feared she was dead, but soon she woke up and started kinda sobbing. She breastfed her, I didn't look.

I started thinking, should I stay here? The woman seemed already fond of my baby. I knew I couldn't take care of her. I didn't have any place left to go, either. Should I just leave the baby with her and run away? Wouldn't that be cruel? But I couldn't do or say anything. I just looked down as she gently cradled the baby in her arms, and before I knew I woke up, because the story ended there.

BAD KARMA! drabble: codax and the airheads (and a close call) cws: cursing, (empty) threats of violence

"well, you can't see the director right now, because they're at school."

equinox needed to process that for a moment, codax's words echoing inside his unfortunately empty brain. he'd blink if he could, but lacking eyes and eyelids, he couldn't. and so, his disbelief had to be expressed in a different way; taking ahold of the archivist's shoulders and shaking them back and forth. violently.

"i ought to dye your jacket crimson, you gelid class virus!" the torrid class redhead shrieked with frustration, albeit his confusion. "there ain't nothin' called school! you tossed 'em in a freezer, didn't you? you'll be chatterin' yer teeth once i'm through with you, ya little-" he was interrupted by a yellow hand tapping his shoulder, prompting him to also stop shaking poor codax. "what?"

bebe cleared her throat, before taking her hand back. "i read this in a little book i found in the library, but school is an older term for an LHA! kids hated school during the zero era," she explained. "i think codax said school 'cuz the director's from earth zero!"

the taller male stopped to think about what she'd just told him, jaw slowly unclenching as his hold loosened too. "... wait, but that don't make a lotta sense. if the director's doddlin' in an LHA..." he turned back to the cyan-clad archivist. "how're they a director who's tellin' us to come 'nd go for some planet investigation?"

codax had his fingers rubbing circles into his temples, a bit miffed by this inconvenience. "they wanted to continue normal education, according to ebony and sylvester, but not the kind of 'normal' that we're used to. they specifically requested to follow the schooling and education system of earth zero, but have it adjusted so that it would fit their needs." his explanation was followed by a minute of silence, before a snort broke through it.

"ehehe, those are a lotta million dollar words there, cody!" bebe giggled, hiding behind equinox in case the other would grab at her. the aforementioned torrid class groaned though, unsatisfied. "but that'd mean that they're not at an age to be director! maybe yer lyin' t'me and they're actually isolated in pearl!"

but when equinox heard footsteps after the last word, it was actually the shorter man walking away with a deadpan and hands in his pockets.

"too much social interaction today. bye."

equinox will remember that.

"HEY. YOU FUCKIN' ICE CUBE, THAT MEANS THEY'RE PROBABLY ARE IN PEARL, I'LL KILL YA AND YER JACKET'LL BE MINE-"

BAD KARMA! glossary gelid class : residents colored and sorted into greens, blues, and purples. torrid class : residents colored and sorted into reds, oranges, and yellows. zero era / earth zero : 1 BC - 202X (unknown fourth digit) LHA : Learning Hub (for) All, the earth five equivalent of school. pearl : not to be confused with the valorant map or the gemstone, pearl is a location on earth five which houses the director and their court. like the white house ig, but it… looks more like a house.

Sorry if I sound like I’m new here, but I’m actually new here; what do all of your abbreviated tags mean? I’m so confused.

ha, well, that'd explain it then :)

umm, they're only kinda rough at this point bc some have evolved to the point that they aren't exact matches anymore, but let's see..

oc: original content intx: intox smno: somno sv: sexual violence r: redacted (but it's p much 'rape' at this point) fd: fuckdaughter mm: memento mori bta: black tie affair

there r probably several more i'm not thinking of offhand, but usually i dodge this question at least a little bit, so ur already way ahead of the curve.

thank u for the ask, n i hope this place is being good to u thus far. there's a lot that's wonderful here, but it can be quite a mixed bag. i wish u the best of it 🫶

[mishkakagehishka]

hi okay wait i'm just gonna puke this concept up into your inbox bc it's all i thought about all day. its not really a writing request i've just got thoughts and i think you might have some too. idk. also this got long sorry. wordvomit as some would say. oops. uh. this got away from me a bit

okok idk if you've ever even heard of it but a few yrs ago i was on a big romance visual novel kick and i found one called "TODO: Today" and one of the routes you could do was basically dating an AI that was built into your computer. except said AI was sentient and had thoughts and feelings of their own!! so. apply that to the self-aware enstars au!!! (it's less the yandere au and more just a general self-aware one.)

you fall in love with your favorite character - you always have them on your home screen, you always grind for their events and pull on their banners. and one day they wake up. they become sentient. they realize that they're just as enamored with you as you are with them. it starts small - deviations in their lines, your gacha rates seem to be a little better, the game seems to be a little kinder to you. and then you log in during an event for your fave - you're way behind, you got busy, and then you realize you're almost at the 3.5mil marker. when did that happen? you ask the question aloud and the character on your screen says "Well, I couldn't let you miss out!" and then you realize. they're alive, too. so what do you do with that? you have basically a living, breathing consciousness stored in your phone; they're just as enamored with you as you are with them. they've broken free. is it fair to simply shun them? delete the game and potentially remove any bit of their consciousness? should you try and talk to them? try to work with them? maybe you'll end up a little closer than you thought...

!!!! Honestly, if it's just a self-aware au, that'd be so... interesting, right? A little heartbreaking, but :OO cut for length!

If we're talking about genuine love and affection. Yeah, they'd try to help you out here and there, they'd ask you to stay and chat with them a bit on the homescreen... but it has to be gradual. They've just gotten awareness, too, but they have the sense to know that this is weird, and they don't want to scare you, so they test the waters a bit. They say different lines when you finish a live, they wish you luck during the loading between the homescreen and the live or work screen, they say "Hope you get it!" when you hit the scout button... it's odd, but you can chalk it up to an update. They'll probably keep it up to small things like that, their idle lines will move on from "sad" more to things similar to, "I enjoy when you keep me company here" (or a roundabout way of saying the same for some characters, Shu'd hit you with a "It's not that bad when you stay a bit longer here").

And then comes an event that you wanted to grind for so bad! It's your fave, maybe even! Regardless of whether it's the character on your homescreen or not, they're noticing how sad you are about not having time to play, and you even have the dia to grind! So, one morning you login, and your BP is at 3/10, your work tickets empty, and you have less dia, but your points are significantly higher than when you went to sleep. Furthermore, your homescreen idol is... silent. They're sleeping leaning against the edge of the screen. You tap them, which scares them awake, and... they are no longer very subtle.

First they apologise for keeping it a secret, then they ask for you to hear them out and not freak out. But here they are explaining about how they spent the entire night awake grinding because they knew you needed to sleep and are going to have a busy week. You have to ask them to explain the self-aware business. They don't know either, they just ask you not to delete the game, that if you're bothered, they'll continue giving you scripted lines and stop playing in your place, but just let them stay alive. They've gotten attached to having a consciousness.

The choice is up to you, but if you decide to keep them, maybe even befriend them, they'd be very grateful. They enjoy your company, and they hope you enjoy theirs as well (even if some won't say it out loud). And maybe they fall in love after a while, but... they'll keep it to themselves for now. Maybe they'll try to subtly (or less subtly, cough Hiiro cough) find out if you have a partner, if you're interested in anyone. The amount of optimism in "dating" varies from character to character, but they're all more than happy with being your friend and watching with how much joy you play the game.

okay im all confused now in terms of romantic attraction cuz i know that im def asexual but like. ive been going by lesbian for a while but i feel like the way i see the word lesbian is more correct to describe as pan or bi... itd be funny if i go back to being panromantic ace cuz that was the first thing i labelled myself!! im also like. really aro save for one person (demi moment maybe?) so it makes this a bit harder but i could def see myself having feelings for a guy . not a cis one though maybe because t4t ftw but that's more personal taste and i havent rly talked to many cis guys my age (girl's school moment) ... and i dont even rly care abt labels that much!!! but ik others do and i dont feel like fully explaining myself each time. i might just go like. im a lesbian if a lesbian was pan and ace. okay well that'd confuse a lot of people but confusing people is fun but also i dont wanna be interrogated. this is really pointless bc I'll end up changing it sometime probably but what's life without a little change... oh also ijust realised i probs wouldnt be too keen on dating a completely cis girl either for the same reasons except ive talked to a lot more cis girls

summary: I LOVE T4T!!!!!!!!!

[aromanticle]

this is gonna sound really stupid but nothing makes me feel better than wearing a collar and acting like a dog/pet and i'm gonna try to explain why

i was having like a mild panic attack for no apparent reason just half an hour ago and the first thing i did was pour my food onto a bowl and put my collar on so i'd go into dog mode, then i laid down and cuddled trotsky for a few minutes while slowing down my breathing enough so i could activate the proper dogbrain and focus on getting as comfy as humanly possible to finish my shitty little dinner with no hands. by the time i got to start eating i was so much calmer i even got sleepy

i got my first item that resembled a collar about a year ago, it was a simple choker with an o-ring and i got it at the fair. when i got home i took out the bell from a cat collar (that doesn't fit me cause i'm a lot bigger than a cat) and put it on the back of my choker so it would feel more like something an animal would wear rather than just an accessory

months later in december or january idk i bought two actual dog collars from a pet store online and since then i've been wearing my collars almost every night

i like to sleep with one of them on and whenever i feel uncomfortable i put one on really tight and sit on the floor with my chin on the bed and it makes everything better p much instantly

it may be the way it gently presses down on the two neck arteries so after a couple hours i get really dizzy or the way it makes it just a bit more difficult to breathe or just the cosy vibes it brings tbh

later on i started eating popcorn from a bowl with my mouth like a dog, i'd just put the bowl on a folded blankie and get on all fours and eat food with my face inside the bowl and it looks ridiculous but it makes me feel so much more comfy when i'm overwhelmed and stressed out

sometimes at night i tie yarn to my bedpost and attach it to my collar (i don't have a proper leash or chains cause i think i wouldn't be able to explain it if someone found it) and i sleep while tied to my bed all curled up without a blankie over me cause it feels better when i'm just there

i feel like someday i'd like to be able to sleep in a cage but it's obviously not gonna be in my own house cause uh. that'd be impossible to hide i'd need a very big cage to get comfy. but if i move out someday and go live by myself i'd like to have a cage for me to sleep in or just go inside during the day

all of this has its downsides of course like sometimes when i'm out or when i'm with someone i get a bit overwhelmed and my brain immediately goes into dog mode without my permission and i have this urge to get comfy in bed or lie on the floor a bit and put on my collar and sometimes when i'm in dog mode i want to chew on things and end up biting my fingers because i haven't yet made a plan to hide the dog toys i want to get in a place where no one would find it bcs they tend to be quite colorful and not very small and like out of all the things i'd need to hide from people in my house the dog toys are definitely the most embarrassing like i don't think i'd be able to explain it even to my sister who sorta understands me

honestly all i want when/if i move out in the near future (other than a kitchen i could organize the way i want and fairy lights in every room) is a big dog cage with pillows, a carpet, a box of dog toys, a food bowl and a place for me to keep all my collars leashes and chains . that is literally The Dream

[faggotmox]

not a horny one but here is the top of the iceberg of my trans eddie kingston brainrot headcanons

i think he wanders the locker room naked and would get in someones face if they looked at him funny

i think mox calls him sugartits in a funny but affectionate way its a private joke for them

i think he is very boldly open in showing that he is trans but doesnt like to actually talk about it, sort of aggressively like "this is me this is my body what u gonna do about it HUH"

i think he is really sweet but kind of gruff to young queer fans bc he's like "glad u have a role model but i am literally just some guy" and everyone loves him more for that

NOO NO THIS IS SO GOOD.

i love this so much because like i hc trans!eddie so fucking different but all the things you said make so much fucking sense.

the idea that eddie is, excuse the phrasing here, dick out in the lockeroom just daring people to say some shit, just ready to snap. like yas king yes. how many fights have started bc of this? i love an aggressive boy!!! i love that Eddie would just be so unshamed & unhiding of his body.

for me eddie would be the dude to get like the over the top sized packer & strut around the lockeroom in a jock strape. just dick swinging like that. which is a similar but different energy.

MOX CALLING EDDIE SUGARTITS. IM...TOTALLY FINE ABOUT THAT. THATS NORMAL.

no that'd be so fucking cute & funny. mox really likes eddies chest. eddie wouldn't even care, like he'd care in the play along with the bit but he honestly would love that. he'd like call mox an ironing board or something. "at least i got something going on, tiny nips." no one else gets it at all.

. . .

eddie being like aggressively out but also not really like talk about it is so *chefs kiss* in character. its like when he shouts abt taking zoloft? then later will drop some super heavy shit in a promo abt being depressed? eddie just doesn't know how to articulate it. he just drops random little bits abt being trans then cuts a gut wrenching promo every so often about it, about why it makes him a better fighter & how he came up. we stan!!! we stan an aggressively out king!!!

in my story i wrote about trans eddie & mox he's so fucking stealth. like so stealth he may as well be packed away in the attic with the fucking broken christmas lights. mox is the first person he tells & he's like 40. eddie would either be aggressively in the closet or aggressively out of the closet. for me in my stories even tho eddie thinks of himself as just stealth he really is closeted, he has to think about it that way to get by.

eddie would wanna be like there for the queer fans but he just don't get it? he's just some fucked up dude. no one should be thanking him but they do. it takes awhile before he like accepts that people see him like that. someone has to kinda explain that the reason these young queers are so drawn to him is bc they don't got anyone else. eddie starting to realize he wants to be the person that kid him could have looked up to.

in my dumb little story im working knthere's a chapter of the fall out after mox & eddie get married bc like no one knew aews top stars were boning or gay then eddies gonna really throw some curveballs when he breaks down in a promo & tells everyone he's trans. after that eddie gonna feel a lot better & more open.

I LOVE YOU FOR SENDING THIS. I LOVE TRANS EDDIE. FUCKING GOD, I LOVE TRANS EDDIE.

[constantvariations]

Got around to watching the first episode of v9 and there is just so much. Read more bc this is rambly first impressions

I am utterly confused abt what tone they were going for here. Rehashing some bits of v8 makes it seem we're continuing dark and heavy, but that's immediately dashed when Ruby stupidly tries to pass that bit 4000 times. Girl doesn't even try Bursting or idk walking around it

And don't even get me started on Little. Stupid emotional weight mental breakdown cockblock. Fucking bypass this plotpoint free card asshole. Who tf gets scared by just the mention of a cat???

What was even the point of Blake and Weiss being ambushed if you're going to solve it literally 10 seconds later? Especially after that garbage montage of them trying to get Gambol Shroud where they try everything but climbing the damn thing

Weiss and Blake finding each other immediately and off screen is nonsense, and finding Gambol Shroud right away is absolute bullshit. Is this place actually the forest of convenience from Galavant?? It would explain why Ruby doesn't even attempt looking for Cresent Rose

Ruby fainting is both overdramatic and a cheap way of skipping past Weiss's expo-dump. Just fade to black after she says she's going to explain ffs! That way everybody knows instead of everyone but our main character who's suddenly decided to play distressed Victorian woman

I do like the aesthetic of the hostile creature but the twitching and muttering rubs me the wrong way for some reason. It was hard to hear its dialogue and the site I used didn't offer captions, but I think it mentioned regrouping or reporting? Ngl I'm actually curious abt that

"I think we're in a fairytale" shut upppp. Yall aint done shit to establish what a fairytale looks like in a world based on Grimm's fairytales so this is so fucking dumb. Gonna go the Bright (2017) route and mention Shrek too? Fuck off with that candyland bullshit

I'm kind of sad that they aren't shedding layers yet. I recall a post that theorized the reason the Atlas outfits sucked ass is bc the layers underneath were the real focus for the Wonderland/Vacuo arcs, and I was really hoping that would prove true. I desperately need Weiss to ditch that hideous blue shoulder thing. Burn it

Ngl when Yang showed up with a more bitter tone than the rest I was immediately reminded of that one Moffat Who episode where Amy takes a different path than Doctor and when they next meet up she's like 30 years older. While 30 years is a bit much, the idea of time passing differently between the planes and how that'd affect the team's reunion is too delicious to let slide

The only way RWBY can be saved is if Little is killed painfully on screen. That would make this the best show ever
