i'm so used to living in my carefully curated bubble of people with the Liking Tony Stark gene that it always genuinely surprises me when people I follow from different fandoms come out of nowhere with a random post about how much tony stark sucks

[defilerwyrm]

Part of growing up is learning some hard lessons like

Fiction isn't reality

Having a kink or fantasy isn't the same as wanting or doing the actual thing

Fantasies don't predict reality or we'd all be rich

Thought crimes aren't real

Some people have kinks and/or fantasies you personally find icky, but you don't have a right to tell them not to

Some people with trauma work their shit out in ways that you personally find icky, but you don't have a right to tell them not to

Conservatives will take advantage of your desire to be seen as a Good Person™️ to push you to the right

You are responsible for curating your online experience

Censorship is inevitably racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic

If you're a furry, no matter how many lines you draw in the sand, at the end of the day the rest of the world still sees you as some weirdo who cranks it to Donald Duck

The thing they don’t tell you about vampires? They’ve got an aphrodisiac in their saliva to help them capture and immobilize their prey. So imagine your surprise (and Astarion’s) when you agree to let him bite you and then both realize that you really fucking like it.

He comes creeping over to your bedroll, hoping to bite you in your sleep only for you to wake up at the most inopportune time for him. His confession begins, he’s a vampire and he desperately needs food. You’re slightly annoyed and tired, but who are you to reject him?

He’s so thankful in that moment that he offers you to get comfy in his tent, and you do. You follow him in and listen to his request that you sit down and take a few deep breaths. You catch his hands slightly shaking as he approaches you.

“You might want to close your eyes, dear.” He breathes out, the anxiety of biting his first mortal seeping in.

Again, pliant for him as you are, you listen, only to open them again when you feel the prick of pain under his teeth. The discomfort gives way and almost immediately you feel a rush of heat to your abdomen. Your breath hitches and it seems that another version of you takes over. Your hands weave through his hair, pulling him closer to you as you let out an embarrassingly loud moan. You clench around nothing as you feel the warm sensation coursing through you.

Astarion is long gone, victim to the ecstasy of the taste of your blood. The thing they don’t tell vampires about mortals? The vampires feel the pleasure too. Soon enough the succulent taste of your blood is melting with the orgasmic pleasure you’re feeling and he’s letting out moans of desperation in tandem with yours.

You don’t recognize your own voice that’s calling out to the man as you beg him not to stop, for him to touch you, to fill you up until all you can think of is him. But you say it over and over, tears spilling from your eyes as your breathing gets hazy and vision gets blurry. A white hot mix of pain and pleasure shoots through you in the most intense orgasm you’ve ever had. When you’re on the brink of death Astarion pulls away, both of you gasping for air.

As you’re brought back down to earth you realize that you’d been grinding your lap up into the vampire’s. You feel your face flush as you realize he made you cum without being touched, and you feel it again tenfold when you realize that he did too.

His face is beyond blissed out in pleasure, his eyes puffy from his own tears, lips tinged a dark red that rival his eyes. He lets out a laugh when he sees that you’re as wrecked as you are, shaking his head in disbelief.

He will be asking to feed on you again, unless you ask him first ;)

Idk what's happening anymore. People will scream that Jason tried to kill Tim and Mia, even though the text explicitly disapproves with this. Why did I just read like 20 comments from someone who was vehemently arguing that Vergil tried to kill Nero at the end of DMC5. What's going on.

[ekat-fandom-blog]

Jason, Tim, and Dick all get magically reverted to their robin selves and now Damian has to get them back to the cave to fix everything.

While they're all willing to follow Damian, (even if it's just to demand answers from Bruce on Dick and Jason's parts) only Tim is happy with the situation. ("I succeeded in being Robin and I get to hang out with both previous Robins and the new one? This is great!")

Dick thinks that his name was stolen 3 times. Jason thinks he was fired and kicked out like Dick was. Tim thinks he either died or found someone more fit to be Robin and support Bruce. Damian is just confused that his brothers seem to have done 180 of their opinions on him.

[sphacelating]

As someone who loves Andrew as a character and doesn’t hate on Ashley and recognize both of their flaws unlike most people, I feel like the fandom coddles and sympathizes Andrew even more after Chapter 3 because of his backstory.

Ashley’s behavior is largely a result of her parents’ neglect and lack of effort in raising her. They never made her go to therapy or address her issues, instead enabling her behavior and shifting the blame onto her brother. She never had birthdays celebrated, and her fake friends only used her to get closer to Andy. As a result, no one really supports her, and she never learned how to behave in a healthy way. So, it makes sense why she’d become so dependent on Andy when he’s the only one who’s actually tried to care for her and make her happy.

What people often overlook is that Ashley grew up in the same toxic, abusive environment as Andrew, but instead of being labeled as “evil” or “manipulative,” she’s simply a product of the neglect and lack of guidance she experienced. She craves unconditional love, doesn’t understand relationships, and wears her emotions on her sleeve. Meanwhile, Andrew sees through it, lets her behavior slide, and ends up blaming her for his own actions.

There’s a lot of sympathy for Andrew, to the point where people overlook some of his less admirable qualities—like how he treats Ashley, Julia, Nina, and others. But when it comes to Ashley, she’s dismissed just because her personality is harder for people to like. She grew up in the same neglectful and abusive environment as Andrew, but their personalities turned out differently because she was completely neglected, while Andrew was suppressed. This explains why Ashley tends to act out and demand attention, while Andrew keeps things bottled up. Yet people forget this, and only see Ashley as a product of the same toxic environment that worsened Andrew, without considering that there was nothing in that environment that could’ve helped her improve. She doesn’t know how to initiate positive, prosocial behavior because she wasn’t taught how to.

In many ways, Andrew’s behavior is just as problematic—he rarely does anything genuinely prosocial and sometimes behaves horribly toward people who care about him, like Julia. But because he’s more inward in his attitude and has a more fleshed-out backstory, people tend to accept him more easily. Ashley, on the other hand, hasn’t been given the same explanation or “justification” for her actions.

Ashley is clearly wrong for abusing and raping Andrew, and it's understandable that people sympathize with him because of it. However, let’s not pretend Andrew is some “innocent” person. He’s spied on his sister while she was changing, emotionally manipulated others, used Julia to vent his sexual frustrations about Ashley, cared more about the consequences of his actions than the lives he took, faked nightmares to sleep next to his sister, and continues to engage in inappropriate touching or flirting with her.

In the Shots and Such ending, Andrew wanted Ashley to get drunk with him so they could have "accidental" sex, and he ended up assaulting her while she was intoxicated, trying to repeat what he considered the best sex he ever had. In the Cliffhanger ending, it is implied that Andrew intended to assault his imaginary sister.

In the story, Andrew makes many sexual comments to Ashley but later takes back his consent. Despite this, Ashley continues to press him, which leads to the conclusion that this is rape.

Then Andrew has sex with a wasted Ashley. When she finds out, she has a breakdown. Andrew argues that she "wanted it," suggesting it wasn't rape?

Andrew violently beats Ashley and then becomes drunk. Ashley forces him to have sex with her. Later, Andrew admits he likes to get Ashley drunk to have sex with her and has been trying to recreate it over and over again.

Both individuals are terrible, but it frustrates me that Andrew is not held accountable for anything.

Ashley and Andrew both have difficult personalities shaped by their neglectful upbringing. Ashley seeks attention and is often criticized for her behavior, while Andrew is more reserved and people overlook his flaws. The key point is that both are shaped by their environment and should not be labeled as simply a "monster" or a "victim. "

If you feel sympathy for one sibling, you should show the same sympathy to the other. Similarly, if you dislike one sibling, you should also have the same feelings toward the other.

i don’t know what world you live in where people are sympathizing with andrew after decay and refusing to hold him accountable, nor why you’re dropping all these paragraphs in my inbox to tell me how much andrew sucks and ashley should be coddled more like i’m one of those people.

not a fan of anything you said on the topic of rape, either. mentioning it in passing only to bring up examples of andrew disregarding ashley’s lack of genuine consent after he was raped by ashley and she forced him into a sexual relationship as if to show that andrew is a worse rapist, even comparing his deeply repressed thoughts in cliffhanger to the act of rape by claiming thoughts = intent to act, all of that strongly comes off as trying to justify what was done to him and i am not here for it.

and making sexual comments does not in any way equal consent to sex, so andrew didn’t withdraw consent that he’s never given when ashley raped him. you’re definitely in “andrew wanted it so the rape wasn’t that bad” territory here and it’s extremely uncomfortable.

Hey alprazolam buddies! Its great

Not Halsin calling everyone at the grove afterparty thirsty. Probably because he overheard the sound of all my companion's panties dropping in unison as Demeter tried to let them down gently.

[twistedappletree]

if you enjoy my zhuiling headcanons, just wait until i start dropping my zhenyi headcanons like the one i just found in my phone’s notes about a zhuiling/zhenyi double date where Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui are having a peaceful, quiet picnic with tea and casual conversation while Lan Jingyi and Ouyang Zizhen find out they have a shared love for frogs and are somewhere in the distance mucking around in a bog together trying to catch as many frogs as humanly possible

evie's wishlist starter call !! based off ... @disapprove for daisy or eden (honestly anyone though tbh)?

There was no way that she could live freely after what she’d seen but that didn’t mean she had to die either. That was way too easy, keeping her for something less than ideal would teach her to keep her nose out of people’s business. Being a gang leader meant tough calls and this was one of them, it wasn’t like she liked making girls take these positions but if she didn’t, worse things would happen for sure. 

Julie was sitting in a lush chair when they brought her in and her eyes widened slightly, she knew her from somewhere. Standing up Julie made her way over, the members parting as she approached. They were scared of her, as they should be. “Sorry boys, this one is mine.” She got a lot of annoyed sighs from the group which stopped as soon as she glared around. “Go. Now.” With that, they dispersed. 

Kneeling Julie took a switchblade out of her bra before popping it open and cutting her restraints. “I assume you know why you’re here?”

the flint coming out/silvers worst possible reaction convo is one of the few times we actually see flint like. uncomfortable? or nervous i guess? when silver says he doesn't think the pattern of flint's closest person/partner dying will apply to him because of recent events, flint's response ("it is .. natural for men new to power to assume that it has no limits. trust me - it does.") seems strange. he doesn't argue against seeking out his own tragedies as he did before, or deny the pattern, or tell silver to stop blaming him for the deaths of his partners. he tells silver he isn't as powerful as he might feel at that moment. he's defensive, thrown off-balance by the vulnerability of sharing his most guarded heart and secret, only for silver to throw it back in his face. this conversation is significant for a number of reasons, but one of which is that it highlights flint's devotion to silver (he tells silver he is Entitled to the truth) and silver's reticence to genuine connection with flint. he tells flint he's sorry, but then ruthlessly points out a pattern he sees as a potential danger to him. silver is STILL acting in his own self interest here, almost defensively, whereas flint has given himself entirely over to silver. what happens makes me think of this post - flint has such personal authenticity, he KNOWS what he stands for, he has cast his lot, his narrative is fixed, that he is able to give his truth to silver. whereas silver is still playing at both sides. his identity has coagulated into silver, but he's not Long John Silver yet. he doubts this war, he doubts flint and madi's motivations. why expose a weakness when there's no need? all he sees of flint's confession is a potential threat to him. and then there's flint's response in the face of silver coolly explaining why he will survive flint's self-inflicted tragedy, a weak attempt at silver's feelings of strength, a defensive response to what flint perceives to be an attack from silver.. which silver IMMEDIATELY overturns with his stunt with dobbs, using the men as pawns in his dance with flint, proving to flint that silver is strong, that silver will survive flint. that silver will hurt flint. and all flint has to offer is an uncertain but (to me) very genuine attempt at comfort in the face of silver's ironclad defense of his own strength. that even if they agree silver has such powerful influence over the men, flint can still stand with him, against him if they have to.

[tiffanylilalayorlestron]

Mmm. So I've been watching a silent playthrough of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Sky while I work recently and it churned up an AU idea that I can't get out of my head. I'm sure it's been done before but the potential for a story will not leave me alone.

So, the human from PMD Sky, the one from the future, who jumps back in time w/ their partner Grovyle, gets batted around in that time storm and separated, right? Same old, same old.

HOWEVER.

Instead of getting transformed into a Pokemon and going on their adventure in the Mystery Dungeon world, Arceus (the old goof) senses an opportunity and plucks the human from their current place outside time and space claw machine style, and throws them head first into Hisui, right smack dab into the events of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Why pick a random qualified human from the real world when a different one has basically offered themselves up to the task?

Hero, who is still somewhat memory-less (and also, Arc Phone-less since I'm sure phones are rather hard to come by in Primal Dialgas apocalyptic time period), is now forced to play the confused and unknowing savior of Hisui at the behest of some mysterious unknown force, battling it out with crazed nobles and weaving their way through the ranks of Team Galaxy.

I like the idea that Hero IS qualified for it. They more than have the survival skills necessary to brave the Hisuian wilds, learned from a lifetime of navigating the harsh world of a post apocalypse, constantly on the run. Do you think they find it weird that Pokemon can't talk? What do they think of other people, other humans? They can't remember anything, but I'm sure they get feelings.

Imagine the uses the Dimensional Scream would give them. What does it feel like when the peak of Mt. Cornet opens and shrouds the entire sky in an undending red? Imagine their witnessing of a crazed Origin Form Dialga, the primal, unexplained fear that would well up within them upon witnessing the extreme power of the entity who threw their entire world into paralysis. Do you think being a part of Team Galaxy, of helping people in Hisui, of working towards a greater goal to help people would feel familiar? They may not remember working with the Planetary Exploration Team, but do you think when they talk to Adaman and Irida or Rei or Akari they get this warm, familiar feeling? That they're reminded of someone, but they can't quite remember who?

Do you think saving a different world, when so much of their life has been about saving their own, has any effect on them?

Who knows? But, finally, when it's all over, when all of Arceus' herculean tasks have been completed. and Origin Dialga has been calmed. The plates collected, Volo defeated and Giratina soothed at last. When the Pokedex is finally done, everything is back to relative peace and normalcy, and Hero ascends above the peak of Mt. Coronet, Arceus returns their memories and grants Hero's wish. It sends Hero back.

(Do you think, upon encountering Arceus and regaining their memories, they would beg the deity to save their own world?)

It sends Hero back to exactly the same moment it took them from. Amidst a roiling time storm, spiraling between fractals of whens and wheres with no idea where they'll come back.

For the second time in their life Hero, who is now a Pokemon, awakens on a beach confused and alarmed by an overwhelming sense of familiarity that they just. can't. place. Alongside this terrible sense that something is deeply, deeply wrong, that something incredibly important is missing. Like this exact thing has happened before. But they can't remember when. In fact, they can't remember anything!

Because wouldn't you know it!? Their memories are gone. Again.

Cue Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky!

There are so many similarities between PMD:S and Legends Arceus. Waking up with no memories on a beach outside an unfamiliar town by a stranger who recognizes your skills and asks you to join their team? Joining a community, tasked with exploring, learning and helping others who need it? Meeting different interesting folks and Pokemon across the world and befriending them? Time travel shenanigans? Meeting a helpful stranger who ends up betraying you and you find out they were, in fact, just the pawn of a much more powerful entity who was the true cause of the current state of the world? Like, besides Darkrai and Arceus in Sky and Legends respectively, even the legendary Pokemon that are focused on are the same too. < and I'm aware that's because PMD:S was a gen 4 game and Legends Arceus takes place in ancient Sinnoh, but like, still.

Do you think the Hero sees themselves in Grovyle at all? Someone in an unfortunate situation being accused of and punished for something they didn't do, and despite all that still striving to help? Do you think they're surprised by Dusknoir's betrayal? When the truth comes out on those stockades, do you think Hero takes it in stride? Do you think that Hero sees Rei and Akari in their partner? That nervousness slowly diminishing over time as the two work together? That need to be dependable?

Lots to think about.

Anyway, all this is because I like the idea that a Hero who put up with Kamado's shit would absolutely NOT put up with Chatots.
