#before dating ask game

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

Decided my proposal for a We Are Series ghostship is Beer and Kleun. They could make a very chill couple.

[eddiegettingshot]

with a show that goes out of its way to emphasize having a partner to sit with you in your mess and be there for you no matter what you’re struggling with it BOGGLES my mind that people think eddie has to be Cured tm to be deserving of a happy relationship let alone one with buck. thats so fucking weird

it kills me because THIS IS LITERALLY THE THESIS OF ROMANCE ON THIS SHOW!!! this is WHY all the beloved couples have made it together!!! what the fuck does anyone think is happening with bathena right now? she's in his mess with him! what the fuck is anyone talking about at this point, genuinely!! and what makes it even more ridiculous is that BUCK AND EDDIE LITERALLY ALREADY DO THIS FOR EACH OTHER, the way EVERY OTHER COUPLE DOES. it is actually a significant part of what establishes their partnership as being on the same level as bathena / henren / madney!! buck wouldn't think that eddie needs to go and Fix Himself or Heal because HE ALREADY UNDERSTANDS why eddie does what he does, he UNDERSTANDS why eddie hurt ana and why eddie hurt marisol and why eddie cheated and he UNDERSTANDS eddie's pain and trauma because he's been there! this whole time! this "eddie has stuff to figure out" idea is just some shit people made up because they cannot stand the idea that buck and eddie are willing to do the work together and they also can't stand the idea that they might hurt each other - specifically, that eddie might hurt buck, even though we ALSO just saw how buck ACTUALLY hurt eddie in 7x04! that doesn't matter though! maybe the ONLY thing that eddie actually needs to "figure out" for buck is not being straight. beyond that? they have it guys! they'll make it through!

A non-angsty KimChay headcanon for me, pretty please??!!

:D!! ❤

post-reconciliation, they are SO excited to date each other, but neither of them are prepared for what it means to actually be the other’s boyfriend.

they think they are. Kim spoiled and indulged Chay before, Chay flirted with Kim ‘til kingdom come. they’re so ready for this.

they are Not.

Kim opens to Chay like a sunflower does to the sun. All those times he watched Chay wave his hands around while he talked and ached to kiss his fingers? Kim’s doing that now. The urge to curl up against the broad span of Chay’s back and soak up his warmth? Kim’s draped over him like a cat in a patch of sunlight. All those snatches of songs that came to him when he thought of Chay? Chay hears them, reads them, feels them. Kim’s no longer holding back every time he aches to reach for Chay (why would he? last time he did, he lost Chay. he’s going to drink up every bit of him that he can, now).

Chay’s always been bold, but it’s turbocharged after they begin to date. He used to be careful in how he pushed with Kim, he could tell Kim was skittish before. But now? When Kim welcomes it? Chay’s not stopping. Multiple texts throughout the day when Chay’s thinking of him—not anything Kim has to respond to, just pictures of clouds or animals or silly signs that Chay wants to share with him. Responses to every single one of Kim’s song pieces and more of his own originals—music is their favorite language. Constantly tells Kim “I like you :D” which flusters him even more than “I love you”—Kim knows what it’s like to be loved, he hadn’t always been so sure that he was liked.

after they begin to date, Kim is voracious, Chay is relentless. they like each other so much.

Send an ask, get a headcanon (prev: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

what would the Scoundrel or the Scientist do if someone gave them a love letter or confession?

something roughly along the lines of this.

The first two Mega Man games to me are kind of like looking at an acclaimed director's first project. You can tell they have good ideas and there's definite talent present, but things are still messy. They'll get there one day.

[pocket-size-cthulhu]

If I was still in the "dating men" scene, I would start telling guys who complain that they can't get women to notice them that they should customize their character design more and add more interesting lore to their dialogue options

[softness-and-shattering]

Ok I see it. Kim Kitsuragi is hot.

Yknow rothfuss or someone has that line in their fiction about fearing the anger of a gentle man? He said fear not lust after but here I am 👀

Bill Cipher should try meeting new people but ultimately come back to Ford!

I don't think he'd really look for anything serious, at least post-canon. What's the point? He only has at most a century left to live, and generally living that long as a human requires boring shit like "eating healthy" and "exercising". Most of that time will be spent asleep, or maintaining his new form, and the last decade or two will just be his body rapidly and painfully breaking down. An actual relationship with feelings attached isn't worth the effort. He has better, more entertaining things to spend his limited time on. At most, he'll have people he regularly hangs out/hooks up with for a few days before moving on. If they're really fun he might even stay with them for more than a week, or get back together with them when he gets tired of someone else!

But eventually, he gets bored. Humans just aren't that interesting, the constant pretense of being 'normal' is absolutely grating, and going out with a supernatural being runs too big a risk of being recognized. Nobody is interesting enough, nobody understands when he talks about alien worlds, nobody knows anything beyond this STUPID ball of mud!

Nobody... Except Ford.

Ford knows Bill isn't normal. Ford has seen alien worlds, lived in alien cultures, traveled far beyond what any other human could hope to reach and at least somewhat understood the things he saw there. He's funny. Passionate. Smart. Just fucked up enough to be entertaining. He's known him, watched him, for nearly forty years already, but maybe Ford is interesting enough to keep Bill's attention for a little longer.

(As it turns out, he is.)

I honestly think the canon age gap would make the Hunger Games AU conceptually funnier. Like, Obi-Wan Infinite Sadness Kenobi is just ptsd-ing his way through life and in comes love in the form of 18 year old Anakin Violence Is Always An Option :) Skywalker, whose only fear is what to get Obi-Wan for his birthday (apparently you can't just loot the other tributes' corpses for appropriate jewelry? seems wasteful).

Yeah 100% ! I think when I wrote the ficlet a year and a while ago, I just wanted more same age obikin because I hadn’t (and I guess still haven’t experimented with that dynamic much) but I think I like the idea of a 16 years older obi-wan who just wants to be left alone pestered by a child/teenager who is fascinated by him (and brings him nice things from the sea when he hasn’t see him around town for a few days)

and then anakin’s mom dies maybe when anakin is just 17 or almost 18 and he hyper fixates on the only person who knows death just as well, knows the ache of it and the grief

and he wears obi-wan down, even though there’s a 1000 reasons obi-wan shouldn’t kiss anakin, newly 18 (maybe still 17), but he’s so lonely and anakin is so persistent and nice and he knows what he wants and he knows he wants obi-wan even though he’s seen his games and maybe obi-wan should be stronger, but to be wanted by someone so furiously….despite what he’s done…..

on spoiler tags

since reload is coming out soon, i wanted to give people some heads up for tags i'll be using as a courtesy. please curate your experience accordingly! if you haven't used the mute feature, here's how to 👍

i will continue to use #persona 3 for all posts related to p3 (it's my main tag)

for posts about reload specifically, i'll be using #persona 3 reload, but it might also be worthwhile to mute the abbreviations #p3r and #p3re.

for the people who don't know anything about p3, i will attempt to tag spoilers for p3's events as #persona 3 spoilers but i cannot guarantee that i will remember to do so...

i hope everyone enjoys their experience with the game! i will still post here occasionally, but in general i'll be steering clear of socmed until i'm finished with reload.

tangentially related- i expect splatoon 3's side order dlc to come out during this time. all stuff related to that dlc will be tagged with #side order and will also be tagged as #splatoon (main tag)

thank you for your time! enjoy gaming, and remember to drink water 🥤

I think what the developers really care about most is whether she's "married." Phoebe started dating at 26, so if the release date had been different, Yui would have been dating too.

I know some people feel uncomfortable about the main character dating an adult female character, but at least in China and Japan, it doesn't seem to be criticized as much if it's a fictional character. (As you know.)

btw I don't really like it when the main character dates a grown-up woman. Maybe that's because I like independent, cool ladies, and it makes me feel jealous when I see a cool lady being fooled by a boy, haha.

Yeah, cultural difference is definitely a factor here. But I don't think that means people are wrong to feel uncomfortable with the idea of the protagonist dating adults, either. There isn't a completely clear-cut, obvious line for "this is good, and this is bad", especially when the game at least gives you an option of whether or not to date them, but in the end people do tend to have strong opinions about that, and I can't blame them. It does bother me, too, even if it is more normal for Japanese and Chinese fictional characters than it is elsewhere.

That said, at the end of the day, the game developers will do what they want, and I think you're right that when they say "age" it's more about whether they're married already, given the social expectation to be married by a certain age. But I do think that at least means the romance options in this game will probably tend to be a bit younger than, say, Sadayo Kawakami, who's in her thirties, haha.

#21 (collapse) for gustholomule?

21: collapse

It had been a long and exhausting day in the graveyard. Gus's house was closer and Matt had already planned on spending the night, anyway. Which he was relieved for, because he didn't think he could take another step.

The two boys trudged past Mr. Porter in a zombified state, slowly climbing up the stairs before collapsing onto Gus's bed.

"Dinner will be ready soon, boys!" Gus's dad called up to them. "Get cleaned up before you come down."

Gus made great effort to turn his head and look at Matt. "Do you need a shower?"

Matt winced, turning his own head to meet Gus's eyes. "Definitely. But can I just not move for a second? I think I’ll pass out if I do."

"Yeah," Gus nodded. "Yeah, same here. I just thought I'd offer you the shower first, since you're my guest and all."

Matt nodded, yawning and curling up on his side. Gus's bed was so soft. And he felt so comfortable and warm being so near to Gus.

"Maybe just five minutes?" Matt asked, his eyes already closed.

"Mmm? Yeah, just five minutes," Gus responded sleepily.

Mr. Porter found the two boys snoring when he came up the stairs ten minutes later. They were still in their filthy clothes, grime stuck to their hair and skin. Perry sighed, smiling and chuckling to himself. He covered their plates and set them in a fridge with a note, knowing the meals would be discovered at some point in the middle of the night.

Just thinking about those soft, mundane moments with Bakugou.
