#i didn't even realize the role reversal thing until you mentioned it

[dojunie]

jeno “i only like attention from the people i like” lee being desperate for mc’s attention/acknowledgement is SO on brand i really like the lowkey tiny role reversal comparing the high school version of the two !!!!

desperate is actually such a good way to put it... but the crazy thing is that he doesn't even realize how much he wants it.... in his mind paying attention to her so closely is just What He Does: always being aware of where mc is the second she enters the room, or committing everything she says to him into his memory without meaning to, or getting disappointed when she doesn't look in his direction, all of that is just "how life is"

like at least mc knew she was in love when she did those things. jeno has no clue why he gives so much of a shit about where she is and what she's doing and who's she's doing it with LOL

(at least not yet....... winky)

Just like a sunbeam sneaking through black curtains you came into Spencer's life all those months ago. He would never forget the first time he felt the heat your presence radiated, warming even the darkest corner of his heart. After those long days of fighting evil, he craved nothing more than coming home to bask in your kindness. 

However, when he entered your apartment that night, Spencer immediately realized that something was different. Where he'd usually find excitement and joy, he only saw a fake smile on your face.

"What's wrong, my love?" 

Spencer found his place beside you on the couch, offering to pull you right into his arms. You hesitated, afraid that his touch might break loose the tears you so desperately tried to hold back. 

Instead of accepting his embrace, you just shook your head and answered, "I just had a bad day." 

Spencer knew that it must have been a truly terrible day for it to take away your smile. You were the most optimistic person he had ever met, always seeing the good in everything even when he couldn't. 

"I'm sorry to hear that. What can I do to make it better?" 

You just shrugged and leaned back on the couch, ready to simply wait until this day would be over. 

Spencer, however, decided to make it his mission to cheer you up. After giving it some thought, he realized that he had no idea how to do that, though. Usually your roles were reversed with you being the one to comfort him after a bad day. You were the one who – without fail – always managed to light up his life.

Now it was his turn to do the same for you. He just needed to figure out how. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" He offered. 

You shook your head while sinking back further into the couch. Spencer reached out his hand to brush over your fingertips. His touch was soothing, so you opened your palm to take his hand in yours. He moved closer to you until his shoulder touched yours. 

When you locked eyes with him you managed to flash him a timid smile, not as genuine as usual but less fake than before. 

"Hey," Spencer whispered.

"Hi," you breathed. 

His lips found yours in a brief and innocent kiss. It wasn't enough to make up for what happened today but you appreciated his attempt to light up your inner spark again. 

Spencer quickly noticed that his nearness alone wouldn't be enough to cheer you up. 

"Are you hungry?" He asked. "I could make you something to eat."

"I already had dinner earlier," you declined his offer. 

He got up from the couch to turn on the TV and put on your favorite show before disappearing in the kitchen for a few minutes. When he came back he handed you a mug with freshly brewed tea. 

"Thank you," you said while taking the beverage. "I really appreciate it."

It was true, you did appreciate his attempts to make your day better. It didn't work though. As he sat with you to watch the show while occasionally checking your facial features, he realized that, too. 

"You're still upset," he stated with a frown present on his face. 

"Sorry, I–"

"Don't apologize," he interrupted you. "It's not your fault. I just hate that I have no idea how to help you. You're always there for me and know exactly what to do or say and here I am… so…lost." 

"It's okay, Spencer. I'm sure it'll just pass. Tomorrow is a new day."

"No, don't you try to cheer me up!" He protested. "This is about you. I really want to make you feel better." 

You turned your head to look out the window. The sun had already set, all you could find was darkness on the other side of the glass. It almost felt like a metaphor for that day, as if all you could do was to wait for the next morning to let the rising sun warm your heart again. 

Spencer couldn't accept that, though, so he suggested, "We could go for a walk. Maybe the fresh air will help you clear your head."

It was worth a try. Chilly air met puffy cheeks when you stepped outside, Spencer’s hand immediately reaching out to intertwine his fingers with yours. Walking side by side, you followed his lead, unable to make a decision as to where to go yourself. Soon you stepped into a park together, noticing how a mild breeze created a rustling sound as it met leafy trees.

Tilting your head, your eyes wandered over the night sky. The moon was bright and big, almost looking unreal from your point of view. Although it was only borrowing its light from the sun, it still did its bet to illuminate your path. 

Very sudden and without a warning Spencer stopped his motions to step in front of you. He softly smiled at you when he said, "Dance with me."

Those were words you never thought you'd hear from him, so you asked in disbelief, "What?" 

He gently got ahold of your wrists to move them to his shoulders before he grabbed your waist. 

"Dance with me," he repeated. 

And so you did. 

At first you just swayed from side to side, not unlike all those kitschy prom scenes in teen movies. There was no music playing but that was alright, the sound of the wind was your beat while some sleepless bird sang the harmony. When Spencer made the first step, you simply followed his motions. 

It was clumsy and graceless but he didn't give up, not even when he almost fell over his own feet. The smile slowly forming on your face spurred him on to keep going despite his lack of skill. There was no holding back the laughter spilling from your lips each time your chests almost collided because you missed a step. 

However, after a few moments your body moved naturally with his, almost as if you had done that a million times before. Your smile grew bigger with each spin, making you slowly forget the sorrows of the day. And although the sunrise was still many hours away, just like that your inner light began shining again.

For that trope kimchay challenge. My favourite trope is role reversal au (like for example Chay being mafia and Kim being ordinary person). My least favourite au is college au. I think it is mostly to do with me being no longer in school so I don't find this trope that appealing. Especially when it all revolves around being in school and dorms etc. Thank you for writing it. You are great writer and I like this challenge too.

OKAY so I've been thinking a lot about a college AU and how to make a kimchay college AU appealing to the post-college reader. I think college AUs usually focus on the things you've mentioned - classes, dorms, young adult social life and sex, etc.

But. That's not technically the purpose of college. The purpose of college is to figure out and get trained in whatever you want to do with your life.

From what I can tell from BL, universities there make you choose what you're majoring in when you first apply. In my world Chay chooses to go somewhere where he can take care of his generals first and then declare his major at the end of his second year.

When Kim first asked why Chay was studying music, he said he wanted to do it because it seemed fun. But by the end of Kinnporsche, I think Chay realizes he can't live on fun anymore.

Honestly he never could, which is why he said in ep. 1 something along the lines of "I don't think school can help us anymore" about trying to clear the impossible debt. I think he doesn't see a future in which they can keep dodging the loan sharks until he graduates, so why does it matter what he actually studies. There's a reason he shoots his shot with Kim, and it's because to an extent he's living like he's doesn't know how much time he has left.

Post show they've made it out from under the loan sharks... now they're just living under the thumb of the mafia. We know Chay is opposed to the dangers of the mafia, I think he'd probably resent the money he now has access to. But it does change the timeline for him. He knows he'll be able to afford tuition for all his years of college now, and that puts college back on the table as something valuable.

If he ever wants to completely separate himself from the mafia, that's going to mean being able to support himself independently. He knows what it is to be poor, and need to take out loans. He and Porsche were happy together when they didn't have money, of course, but he thinks they would have been even happier and less stressed if they hadn't had to worry about loan sharks at their door.

All that to say, he might still love music, but he might want to choose a field of study with more financial stability than music.

So after a year of being miserable in the compound he goes back to college, just doing his generals since he doesn't know yet what he wants to do with his life. And maybe somewhere in that first year he and Kim make up, and continue making music together. They grow to be so happy together

But when it comes time for Chay to declare a major, he and Kim end up fighting about it.

Kim thinks Chay should study music, because it's what he always wanted to study, and he's so good at it. But Chay thinks that maybe he should choose something "practical" instead. Business, or engineering, or computer science.

It's the classic passion or practicality conundrum everyone not born rich wrestles with at least a little bit.

Kim does not understand, they have the privilege of being rich why don't take advantage of it and follow their passions. He knows Chay doesn't like the maifa, but he sees Chay trying to pick something "practical" and a rejection of Kim himself. Because it's not practical to love and be with him if Chay is trying to break away from the family long term.

I don't know exactly how they'd resolve it. I think I'd like to see Chay take the practical studying. I'm always seeing media telling you to follow your dreams and it'll all work out alright - but the shows, movies, and books that proclaim that are all made by people who were capable of succeeding in following their dreams, and so are able to glorify and say that if you just want it hard enough and work yourself hard enough that it'll happen.

I want to focus on the joy and comfort of a quiet, stable life. I think Chay and Kim would like that too, eventually. But I think they'd have to work to get to a place where they realize that's an okay thing to want.

Anyway, this is less of an outline for a fic and more of a vibe, but I think it could be an interesting character study!

(send me a trope, maybe one you hate, and I'll attempt to kimchay it)

Cool new blog you're starting here, really liked your Red Hood post. So wanted to ask, what you would do with Tim Drake? Since your whole but about ways for Jason to move as a character interested me

How i would move Tim Drake as a character

I have no idea.

First question on this blog and I don't have a concrete answer for it, so I'll do what I do best and ramble.

My thoughts on Tim and why he's stuck in the first place

This might be a long section. There's a TLDR at the end if you want a summary of all this and just wanna know what I would do with him

So here's the thing, while I have been keeping up with comic lore and stories through wikis and the like for years since 2016 back when I was 10, I never actually read comics consistently at least as a hobby untill about a year and a half ago. In all those comics, I've only just seen the appeal of tim as a character, I just made a blog post talking about that not too long ago. Not to say I don't like him, I definitely do now, that's for sure. (Also wanna say to bare in mind I don't have universal knowledge of the character so give me some slack.)

So thing is, DC is stuck with him as a character, from what I can get from interviews and the older robin stuff, Tim was supposed to be the 'normal one', unlike Jason or Dick he wasn't brought into this life through tragedy, he went into the life because he wanted to and got into Into a lot of tragedies in a kind of reverse way. Which like I said before, is a beautiful piece.

He also was supposed to BE robin, as in he is THE robin, a lot of comics I've read of him so far before Damian (who we'll get to in a bit), he just seemed to feel like he would always be Robin, he was in universe from what I can see the best one to the point an out of character batman used bus girlfriend to get him back, Dick even said it once I think that he was the best robin, it kinda felt like he was always gonna be Robin and kinda grow the role past the sidekick status, I mean the man actually made the costume cool for the first time.

Then Damian showed up.

Now I don't have a definitive ranking of the robins but I wouldn't be surprised Damian is on top, he fits the asshole trying to be better archetype that I am a sucker for, I liked his stuff with Dick even if I haven't read a lot of it and bus arrogance while annoying to some with the good writers is just plain funny to me and like most of the Batfamily is badass. It also helps I grew up with the DCAMU movies where he was basically the main character.

But he kinda screwed Tim over. All that stuff I said about Tim growing the Robin role or any of that. GONE, I wouldn't say it was intentional on anyone's parts but it still happened.

In Red Robin #1, Tim’s Storyline following the Battle for the Cowl, Tim sees Damian in the Robin costume and that Dick has chosen him to be Robin. And you can really feel what I mean when I say Damian basically took what Tim had going for him at the time.

(lol early Damian was a dick)

Doesn't help that said DCAMU movies I mentioned basically omitted Tim meaning an entire generation of people (like me) didn't even know the dude existed. So now his identity as Robin was basically taken from him in the public eye, Dick had Nightwing and Jason has Red Hood, Damian is Robin now. And Tim is ... Red Robin? I'll get to that name but I wanna make another point.

Coming back to him being the 'Normal one' I meant not only that he was the dude who wanted to get into the hero life without tragedy or anything (which I'm now realizing is kinda a rehash of Barbara Gordon but whatever, I like Damian and his basically a male Cassandra at times) but it was also the fact he wasn't a orphan, yeah again Barbara again did this somewhat but her dad was Commissioner Gordon, Tim(forgive me if I make a mistake guys) had a normal dad and school life and everything. He was just a normal high school kid like you and me who just happened to be a crime fighting badass, kinda like Spider-Man.

Untill multiple tragedies struck and he did become an orphan

Now while in my ramblings I should have mentioned this before the Damian post, DC has taken another thing that set Tim apart from the rest of the robins away. So DC gets Bruce to adopt him, which I love but again, the uniqueness is gone a bit.

So now with have a Robin-less, orphan Tim. (Not sure if he's currently Robin or not, the costume confuses me).

So DC just has nowhere to go with him, they can't make him robin and bringing his dad back would be reductant. So that's where sigh... Red Robin comes along.

So at this point, Tim takes on a new identity and series written by Yost (one of my favorite writers) and it's awesome so far, Tim's smart and detective-like and god that costume just great.

(yes I know that's Jason in the costume but that's a point I'm gonna bring up)

But it also drops another issue with DC and it's direction with him.

I'm sure you've heard of the whole 'All the other robins graduated into better names, even his girlfriend but Tim still has robin in his name's and honestly I freaking agree. It just doesn't separate hum from robin enough for it to really catch on or make him look like he's a new entity. The costume is great but here's the thing.

Tim is the 3rd person to use it. It was originally created in Kingdom come for that universes Dick to use and then by Jason in countdown. So now we have Tim inheriting another costume from his two brothers and it just doesn't work for me

So over the years especially post New 52, DC has been making multiple attempts to go with the character from a costume change to naming him..... Drake??? Who did that anyway?? Dumb

They also made him come out as bisexual which I think is a cool change(I didn't 2 years ago but I was a shit person back then), it makes him more diverse and basically opened his character to a new market. The results and execution of this change has been... Interesting (WHY DID THEY BREAK HIM UP WITH STEPH AND WHY DOES BERNARD EXIST SO BORING!!)

So Tldr: DC got rid of what of what made his character orginally unique for the most part and removed his brand as the current Robin from him and haven't come up with a convincing replacement for a name and direction to take him.

What I would do with Tim

Again not sure since I still haven't read enough to make good judgement calls but there has been this idea in my head for a while now.

Tim Post-Red Robin was interesting mentally, I've talk about how he was so screwed by god at that point in my Tim Drake post. His friends and family even wanting to get him to have therapy.

I read a cool fic called 'New 52 redux' where the new 52 doesn't happen and he attempts suicide, he certainly feels suicidal or at least depressed in this comic, at least I think so, hope I'm not projecting on him there.

He feels like he thinks no one is on his side anymore in his mind, getting paranoid, cold Aka like Bruce, he was acting like Bruce in this run to me. Which was an interesting development since if you read the comics around the early 2000s you would think he would grow into the opposite.

So here's my idea, they lean into this identity Crisis and slow degrade into Bruce at his worst and take him to Hub City, the worst city in DC, yes even worse than Gotham. The question's orginal city that was so bad he quit for his own sanity.

A city so bad that homeless people used dead babies to beg for cash.

I would also give him a new name. Some of the fanon ones I see are pretty cool, Cardinal, Grey Ghost, Gotham Knight etc love em and any would be fine.

So the idea here is that Tim in his Post-Crisis Red Robin mental state, basically tries to singlehandedly take the city from crime, just like Bruce, leaning into how close they were acting but also wanting to prove to everyone else that he can be just as good as Bruce was. Get him to start a business hw would grow as the city moved on and use to profits to improve the city, would be incredibly depressing and brooding.

From there you can either show he's fighting a losing battle and make Tim fall more into his hole of mental issues and Bruce like behavior of pushing others away or let him actually start to win and feel better about himself and start to open up with his family and accept help. Then do the usually status quo stories in hub city.

Of course as usual I have another idea, If most of young justice are dead like I think they were at this time(Retcons and all that make this hard), try and set up a new hero team somewhere, in which he leads the next set of young heroes to avoid all the mistakes he faced as a hero.

Welp that was longer than I thought, hope that satisfied tour question.

[underscore-jude]

I loved what you said about kourtney and how you’ll change her plot in s3! do you know what you would like to see for her in s4 + her relationship with jet?

sure, but only if you guys start telling T*m he needs to hire me or that he owes me royalties! I mean, I’ve been saying as much for *quite* some time now. Note those timestamps there 🥰

I fully endorse the harrassment of T*m Federle for whatever reason. Until he can come forward and address and disprove the allegations that have been sitting against him since 2020 (!!!!), I have no problem sending my tiny ass legion of tumblr followers against him. Now, on with the show.

So I'd like to preface this by saying that I do enjoy Kowie. Like, so much that sometime last year I earned myself a special "CEO of Kowie" role in the Wildcats discord. but i think with how much i also love jetney it's just that i love Kourtney Greene and i love when people give her love.

I think a lot of people don't like Roman for whatever reason, I didn't have twitter until far after s2 had finished airing so if there was drama I wasn't present for it. But his IICLH is magical and I do think that Howie genuinely wanted to be with Kourtney- he made mistakes, as a sixteen-year-old boy is wont to do, and he was caught up in the fiery hell of Zacky Roy and Lily Whatsername's Brigade of Evil, and his shadiness in the s2 finale could lend itself to some suspicion on his part.

However, I also really enjoy Jetney. The thing is I also enjoy Jetwen. There is room for all of these things in my perfect HSMTMTS. I just think that brooding, emo Jet is so full of love that he has not let himself share for so long, that when he finally opens up to himself he realizes oopsie, he kinda likes both Ricky and Kourtney! even better, it's right around the time when Ricky and Kourtney have reconciled and become besties again! that's a whole thing with jet. but it bleeds into kourtney's s4 arc, so i thought i'd mention it.

So when we left Kourtney at the end of MY s3, she was full of confusion upon seeing Howie for the first time since she left for camp. I haven't decided yet whether or not the documentary would've been released to the general public yet, but the trailer certainly had, so no matter what she knows that Howie has watched another man profess their love for his girlfriend on national television.

And Howie is... weirdly not bothered by it. He says it scared him a little at first, but he trusts her- and reality TV is all too keen to force things and feed actors lines, so he's not really worried. Kourtney, however, is, because as much as she'd like to agree that it was all for the cameras, there's a very real part of her that does like Jet, and as much as she wants to get rid of it she can't.

So another thing- Nini doesn't move to California. I know this was done in the show because Olivia's schedule didn't work for her to keep being main cast, but this is my perfect fantasy world and I get to keep my ninikins, okay? She left camp early due to her growing lesbianism to record some demos with Jamie in LA, and as s4 starts she's back in Salt Lake waiting for something to come of them.

Sometime in the first episode, Nini and Kourtney are hanging out and Nini reveals that she's written a song inspired by the whole documentary situation, mainly about how she knows her friends hearts despite the editing making them look like entirely different people. They sing it as a duet. Kourtney talks about her Boy ProblemsTM. There's a funny comment about how this time last year the roles were completely reversed. Nini insists that there's lots of other things to worry about and at least Howie is at North and Jet is all the way in Texas, so she won't have to worry about them during their Best Senior Year Ever.

Cut to the first day of school, and Kourtney, Nini, Ricky, and Big Red are all united as a front, and guess who's sitting in Miss Jenn's sixth period Drama II class? Our good buddy, Jet Lastname (i gave them the last name Grey). Kourtney and Ricky are both red in the face all throughout class. Nini and Big Red find this hilarious.

So in my world, HSMTMTS lasts five seasons, ending with the older four graduating. And with that, I want to save HSM3 for the last season. So, s4 will be The Little Mermaid! I really wanted them to be building up to Kourtney and Carlos as Ariel and Eric with Kourtney having her TLM playbill and Carlos wanting to play a human character and if this is my hsmtmts, that means i get what i want, and what i want is Carlos and Kourtney front and center like they deserve. i also want to include songs that didn’t get used from the other shows they’ve done. I feel like I deserve that.

I think that Jet would meet Howie randomly when he and Maddox go to Slices or something, and eventually realizes that he's Kourtney's boyfriend and has a moment.

the Kowie breakup would hurt me unless it was completely amicable. a few episodes into the season, they realize that they're just not working as a romantic couple and would prefer to just be friends. I can't handle a angsty kowie breakup that would devastate Kourtney or destroy Howie's character, I'm sorry. Maybe Howie can get with Big Red idk if i want to keep redlyn or go with madlyn or not!!!

So there's not really a Jet-Kourtney-Ricky love triangle because there's not anger or people being really aware of it- in fact, Jet's a little bit clueless, but Ricky and Kourtney both think that the other likes Jet so they're like "ok i'll keep quiet cause I don't want to make the other person angry" and then eventually they're acting so weird around each other that the four seniors are all in big red's basement late at night and they're super high loopy from lack of sleep and they admit to each other what they've been doing and they all laugh about it and Nini and Big Red are like "wow you guys are not very smart".

The east high friend group is very fruity

But over the course of the season I think Ricky would get over Jet or decide to be single for a considerable amount of time or whatever and actively encourage Kourtney to go after Jet as a contrast to like. Pained helping others to ignore his own problems like he's done before, y'know? Carlos is like "ricky is this another in a heartbeat" but it's not, it's genuine growth and finding happiness in himself before trying to get it from a partner. Ricky and Kourtney also become therapy buddies btw

And if Jetney gets together in s4 it would be closer to the end. I envision Gina (who is Sebastian) leading the kids in a dream sequence-esque performance of "Kiss the Girl" and everyone is like, goading them together, but they decide to take things on their own terms without any meddling from their friends.

So beyond the Jetney of it all, Kourtney tells her mom that she wants a proper therapist and we see her actually getting that in s4, talking about her anxieties and why she always situates herself behind her friends rather than letting herself come into her own. Someone asks her if she's seen all of the support she's been getting online since the doc came out, and she hasn't because she's forced herself to not go on Twitter. Her Youtube channel has blown up and people are wanting to see more and more stuff, but she's too afraid of hate that she doesn't want to risk it at all. She eventually starts uploading more casual makeup videos, and building more confidence in herself.

Eventually, Nini asks if Kourtney wants to do a duet with her on her EP, and Kourtney nearly dies. On one hand, yes she does, but it's after the initial viral boom of the doc has worn off and things are returning more to normal and she doesn't know if she wants to be quite as nerve-wracked as she was before. I think later, sometime in s5, Nini makes a second record and Kourtney happily agrees to do a song with her.

Nini, Big Red, and Ricky are super supportive, and she also allows herself to get closer to Carlos, Gina, Seb, and Ashlyn, and eventually the drama club is on it's way to being a big loving support system.

Plus, not to mention, I cast Kourtney as Ariel in the musical. I wonder if there's a version of If Only that's just an Ariel and Eric duet, cause that would fit Carlos and Kourtney much better than the quartet. Looking dramatically offstage at Seb and Jet during rehearsal and whatnot. She'd be nervous about playing Ariel, sure, but it's about more than that. There's something more innocent, with more ingenuity about Ariel than there is about Elsa, and that's what scares her the most. Performance-wise, she definitely does Beyond My Wildest Dreams as part of the performance and impresses the hell out of everyone. If Only, like I said, would be in rehearsal, and I think Part of Your World too, I think it could parallel the Monster scene I envisioned for s3, where it shows that she's having issues cause the performance is just Too Real, so her friends support her after the fact, just that this time Big Red and Nini are there as well as Ricky and all of the other kids are making it very clear that they're there to support her through it all.

As for her college-related anxieties, well... i suppose i'll just have to write up my ideal season 5 :shrug:

[findroleplay]

Oh, look! It's another boyfood plot dump for Hellaverse! Please, 21+ is required, but 25+ is preferred. I still can't reply to likes or reactions, so if you're interested, add me directly on discord at: boyfood. I'm begging with the biggest pleading emoji for you guys to please say more than, "hey," when you reach out! Tell me a little about yourself as a roleplayer; I'm looking for confident and compatible partners who know what they want and aren't afraid to squeal with me over their interests too when it comes to plotting. Let's absolutely obliterate our muses with feels, drama, and a generous serving of angst, with a side of fluff for dinner. Lmao, seriously, hit me up if you like having your muses fucked up. 💗

🎭Helluva Boss I'd like to write Fizzarolli.

one: Quitting Mammon initially seemed like the best idea ever, that is until his newfound freedom and lack of purpose prove to be detrimental to his relationship. Not to mention the constant onslaught of lawsuits draining Fizzarolli of a pretty significant chunk of his earnings over the years. Teetering on new lows, Fizz turns up on the doorstep of the only other person he can trust. Blitzø. But it's been years since they've reliably been around one another, and with their rekindled friendship still being so fresh, it's uncertain if this will be another not great idea. And the kicker? It's either curling up on the sofa with Blitzø, or a pallet on the living room floor.

two: Fizzarolli is a porn star, more specifically, Asmodeus' highest earner. He's making waves, the biggest imp in the business and still climbing. It's why Asmodeus is reluctant to tell him about a recent card game with his biggest production rival, Valentino. He doesn't lose too much, but there's a pretty big obligation on the line that Fizzarolli is expected to fill. "Nothing too crazy, you just have to film a movie for him." Valentino, much to his disgust, seems intent on humiliating Asmodeus and his biggest star by having him record with a random imp off the streets. His sadistic glee only grows when he realizes there's a history between them and a negative one at that. Unfortunately, Blitzø needs the money so saying no isn't really an option. Besides, it's just two weeks of shooting together, two very... long... weeks...

three: Omegaverse! Except, omegas are at the top of the hierarchy, praised and valued for their ability to give birth to all three castes. More importantly, they're the only caste that can give birth to alphas - a dying breed after an uprising against their oppressive system. One day, Fizzarolli comes to Blitzø with tears in his eyes and slick on his fingertips. He presents early as an omega, which likely means if Blitzø doesn't present as an omega as well, they'll probably be separated. While I'm open to this being relatively NSFW, I'm pretty adamant about heavily investing time in exploring the impact of this revelation and how it affects their friendship. I'd also really enjoy switch dynamics - even If there's a lean - when it comes to NSFW for this plot. It's not required or mandatory, I just personally enjoy it and the potential to bitch an alpha. That'd be nice. I have so many omegaverse headcanons, and I'd love anyone interested in helping me flesh out a world for it. Potential for: 🍪but it isn't required.

four: If Blitzø had known that he'd end up in a mental asylum fresh out of foster care, he probably would have tried harder with that last family... The thing is, he's not crazy. He really is best friends with an imp that visits him from Hell, he didn't kill his dormmate because he was flunking out of college, and he definitely doesn't want to know what that forked tongue feels like wrapped around his co-- Too much? Whatever, the point is none of that stuff is true! Too bad it's so fucking hard to prove it. I'm also open to reversing the roles of the characters and having Fizzarolli be the one in the asylum.

five: Blitzø and Fizzarolli are lifelong best friends and young, broke roommates just barely making rent. On the hottest day of summer, the air conditioner dies a pretty traumatic death. One filled with sparking and the underlying threat of combustion. They stick to their sofa, dripping sweat and bitterly tossing back-and-forth ideas to make some quick money. OnlyFans comes up more than a few times, only when it comes to shooting, they're incredibly awkward looking. For one, Fizzarolli keeps trying to make eye contact and Blitzø is pretty sure he'll die if they do. Then there's the whole kissing thing - they can't seem to figure out if they want to include it or not, and it leads to a lot of headbutting. Surprisingly enough, it takes off in a way that makes them consider doing it again. The trade-off? The confusing feelings that keep welling up. I'd love it if Blitzø's prior feelings were ambiguous, whether he likes him or not. I enjoy a good slow romance burn.

So that was a lot! Thanks if you stayed with me for the whole thing, and hopefully you saw something interesting! A few last things! I'm more than open to people bringing their own plots! And while I pretty clearly have a soft spot for Blitzø and Fizzarolli, I'm honestly open to writing other Fizzarolli ships. Gimmie an Ozzie, a Striker, shit, even a super cringy ass goofball loser like Chaz(or, like, idk, mob boss Crimson investing money in an up and coming star?). Let's figure something out together! Toss me your favorite OCs, no need to double! And remember, I can't respond to likes, so add me directly on discord: boyfood. Just make sure you tell me who you are or a little about yourself as a roleplayer, or, fuck, even what you're looking for!

Oh, look! It's another boyfood plot dump for Hellaverse! Please, 21+ is required, but 25+ is preferred. I still can't reply to likes or reactions, so if you're interested, add me directly on discord at: boyfood. I'm begging with the biggest pleading emoji for you guys to please say more than, "hey," when you reach out! Tell me a little about yourself as a roleplayer; I'm looking for confident and compatible partners who know what they want and aren't afraid to squeal with me over their interests too when it comes to plotting. Let's absolutely obliterate our muses with feels, drama, and a generous serving of angst, with a side of fluff for dinner. Lmao, seriously, hit me up if you like having your muses fucked up. 💗

🎭Helluva Boss I'd like to write Fizzarolli.

one: Quitting Mammon initially seemed like the best idea ever, that is until his newfound freedom and lack of purpose prove to be detrimental to his relationship. Not to mention the constant onslaught of lawsuits draining Fizzarolli of a pretty significant chunk of his earnings over the years. Teetering on new lows, Fizz turns up on the doorstep of the only other person he can trust. Blitzø. But it's been years since they've reliably been around one another, and with their rekindled friendship still being so fresh, it's uncertain if this will be another not great idea. And the kicker? It's either curling up on the sofa with Blitzø, or a pallet on the living room floor.

two: Fizzarolli is a porn star, more specifically, Asmodeus' highest earner. He's making waves, the biggest imp in the business and still climbing. It's why Asmodeus is reluctant to tell him about a recent card game with his biggest production rival, Valentino. He doesn't lose too much, but there's a pretty big obligation on the line that Fizzarolli is expected to fill. "Nothing too crazy, you just have to film a movie for him." Valentino, much to his disgust, seems intent on humiliating Asmodeus and his biggest star by having him record with a random imp off the streets. His sadistic glee only grows when he realizes there's a history between them and a negative one at that. Unfortunately, Blitzø needs the money so saying no isn't really an option. Besides, it's just two weeks of shooting together, two very... long... weeks...

three: Omegaverse! Except, omegas are at the top of the hierarchy, praised and valued for their ability to give birth to all three castes. More importantly, they're the only caste that can give birth to alphas - a dying breed after an uprising against their oppressive system. One day, Fizzarolli comes to Blitzø with tears in his eyes and slick on his fingertips. He presents early as an omega, which likely means if Blitzø doesn't present as an omega as well, they'll probably be separated. While I'm open to this being relatively NSFW, I'm pretty adamant about heavily investing time in exploring the impact of this revelation and how it affects their friendship. I'd also really enjoy switch dynamics - even If there's a lean - when it comes to NSFW for this plot. It's not required or mandatory, I just personally enjoy it and the potential to bitch an alpha.

Sub!Uvogin HCs

Accidentally deleted so I had to repost♡

When you first propose the idea of taking a more dominant role he can't help but find the situation humorous. The thought had never crossed his mind, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't find the idea intriguing. He's not quite sure how to go about everything, sitting back with a smirk as you hover yourself over him. It wouldn't be the first time you rode him but it would the first time you took full control of the situation. He struggles to keep his hands from pushing you down to fuck into you at a more grueling pace, instead merely resting his palms against your hips as he lets you decide the speed of things. It's painfully slow and the longer you maintain your tempo the more the confident grin that had once adorned his lips falls open until eventually he can't help but find himself letting out an uncharacteristically shaky breath. Oh, this was most certainly different.

After a while it all becomes too much for the usually unrestrained man to handle, his hips rocking up into you unconsciously despite having been told to stay still. With the brief tightening of his hold on your body, you decide to not indulge the man, your own hands wrenching the fingers away from your curves and slamming them harshly down above his head. You both knew that he could easily have reversed the situation but despite your skepticism at how obedient the unruly Spider could be, he obeyed your command.

Your hand barely managed to graze down both of his but as your eyes met your boyfriend's you saw that it had the perfect effect nonetheless. Uvogin's eyes were wide, unsure whines leaving his mouth that were so soft you weren't sure if you were imagining them and that you were sure he didn't realize he was making.

"Can you be a good boy for me and keep your hands still," you instructed him tenderly. His voice cracked slightly as he tried to respond vocally before settling on a shaky nod. You released his wrists in favor of resting your palms against his chest, squeezing down on the muscles found there as you finally began to pick things up a bit. With every drop of your hips, Uvogin began to let go of his restraint, moans increasing in both volume and pitch as his eyes started to shut. Despite how simply adorable he looked falling apart you had other things in mind. You gave his nipple a sharp twist, the surprisingly erotic pain having his eyes open fully with a gasp. You took advantage of his newfound awareness by grasping his chin with your other hand. You could feel his pulse thrum against your fingertips and before you said a word you made sure to continue your ministrations on his chest, enjoying the questioning gaze he gave you paired with his compliance despite the confusion.

"Who said you could close your eyes? I want you to watch me fuck myself on you... Unless of course, you want me to stop? Is that it? Do you want me to leave you all alone and finish the job myself because you couldn't be a good boy and just sit back and enjoy? If you're bored then feel free to leave and let me continue this alone. Though I won't lie, you always do fill me up so well. God, your cock feels so good stretching me out... So, what is it? Do you want to go? Or do you want me to come on your cock and maybe let you join me if you behave?"

He of course complied, far too desperate for this unfamiliar feeling of release to continue to possibly conceive stopping. This was only the first time of many that you'd be able to pull this side out of the man, both deciding, later on, to see how far you could take this. He was the one who brought it up afterward, trying to remain casual though he was clearly nervous as he said what you two had done was "fun" and he was open to doing it again. Uvogin was more of a doer than a sayer and so for him to bring it up would have to mean that he did want to have a second round(and many more).

He loves being laid down on his back, the comfortable bed beneath him allowing him to go deeper into his headspace as the soft sheets curled around his body just slightly. You know this and so when you had him spread open his legs so you could make your way in between, toy in hand, despite the slightly unsure look in his eyes he was still relaxed enough to have things continue. You pumped your hand up and down his already leaking cock before sliding the toy over him, you rested your other against his hip as a reminder to control himself. That was a big rule when having your scenes; he was to control himself and if he didn't then you would find a suitable punishment.

Eventually, the toy milking him just isn't enough, he finds himself craving even more, and he voices this to you upon realizing. He's not sure exactly what it is that he needs to push him over the edge and you're quick to propose an idea that has him throbbing in his pants at the mere mention. It starts with a finger or two pressing against his entrance, the unfamiliar sensation making him come harder than he can ever remember doing. The orgasm leaves him shaking, breaths coming heavy as his eyes roll back in his head for a moment. You're not so cruel as to fault him for the pathetically cute way he can't help but move beneath you and you make a mental note to do this again.

Uvogin requires a lot of aftercare and even though he's hesitant to express this it's clear by the look in his eyes every time you get up or when you ask if he wants to wash off afterward, assuming that he would be left alone. The best thing to do for him during this time is to allow him to hold you against him as he calms down, his face pressed in between your neck and shoulder while you lay on top of him. Cleaning up can usually wait a bit, and if the scene is particularly messy then be sure to have what you need nearby so you don't have to leave so soon.

nanami kento [evenings with you]

nanami kento x reader || cw: descriptions of blood/injuries, light angst

a/n: this is just self-indulgent writing for me but i'm v stressed about school rn and this is the result. just imagine that y/n is a bio/medical phd candidate lol.

Nanami can tell that you're stressed. Usually you savor the nights he's not on overtime, asking him about work and refusing to leave his side for most of the evening. He's used to you being attentive, so the fact that you've asked him the same question twice within the last ten minutes is already setting alarm bells ringing in his head. You're constantly fiddling with something, or flashing furtive glances towards the bedroom when you think he's not paying attention.

It only gets worse after dinner. You insist on washing up, something about how you want him to 'enjoy his night off.' Nanami compromises, silently grabbing a towel and drying the dishes. It's clear that your mind is elsewhere. Your hands scrub the porcelain on autopilot, and he can hear you muttering under your breath.

Every now and then you'll mutter a list of tasks under your breath. Nanami remembers you mentioning that things were hectic in lab. You're almost always still working when gets home from work, even when it's well past when you eat your dinner. It's clear that you've had a busy day-- the apartment is far more cluttered than it usually is. There are post-it and pieces of scrap paper stuck to every single surface, and a forgotten pile of folded laundry rests on the couch.

An intense burning sensation across your palm causes you cry out. "Shit!" You drop the knife you were washing in favor of cradling your already bleeding hand. Nanami is instantly by your side, firmly pressing the dishcloth against your cut. There is a worrying amount of red seeping into the fabric, so he silently ushers you to the bathroom.

It's a strange reversal of roles. He's used to being the one leaning leaning against the counter while you bandage his wounds. Instead, it's you who is perched on the marble surface, wincing as he dabs an antiseptic soaked cotton ball against your injury. "Sorry, I'm almost done," he says when you let out a loud hiss.

"It's fine," you reply, sheepishly looking away. "I should have been paying more attention."

Nanami chooses to only respond with a nonchalant hum, focusing on cleaning your palm. The two of you sit there in comfortable silence while he applies ointment to the cut, adding gauze once he's finished. It's only when he reaches for the bandages that he decides to ask. "What's stressing you out?"

Your eyes widen as you realize you've been caught. Nanami is rarely home early these days, especially since he's been mentoring Itadori on behalf of Gojo. (Not that you mind - in the few times you've met Itadori through video call with Nanami, the pink-haired student's sunny disposition has never failed to cheer you up.) When he'd texted you saying he'd be home by dinner, you'd jumped at the opportunity to spend some much needed time with him. You'd pulled out the stops, cooking something a little fancier, and intent on spending the earlier part of the evening cuddling with him. Secretly, you had planned to sneak out of bed after he'd fallen asleep (he always goes to bed early on days like these) and finish preparing for the gauntlet of meetings and presentations you had tomorrow. It was your fault for putting off the tasks, and you didn't want to let your own bad habits get in the way of some quality time with your boyfriend.

"It's nothing, I just have a lot on my plate tomorrow." You do your best to laugh it off, but quickly trail off once when you catch Nanami's deadpan expression. He's always been too good at seeing through your white lies. "I put off some work..." A raised eyebrow from him prompts you to continue, "And I was planning on doing it after you went to bed..." You can't help it when your face scrunches into a pout. After all, now your carefully-laid deception has been revealed.

When Nanami bursts into amused chuckles, you're momentarily surprised, but quickly go back to sulking. "Stop laughing at me Ken!" you whine, "I'm a--"

"Self-aware procrastinator," he finishes your sentence with an amused grin. "I know love, I know. I've seen you write far too many papers within 24-hours of a deadline to be surprised." He presses an affectionate kiss against your wrist.

You scowl at your boyfriend, snatching your bandaged hand away from his grasp. "I'm glad that my suffering is entertaining for at least one person." You stomp back to the bedroom in faux-anger, smiling when you hear Nanami's footsteps not far behind you.

When he steps into the bedroom Nanami drapes his frame over your shoulders, his warm torso nestled against your back. "It is one of your more...endearing traits," he murmurs into your ear before pressing a kiss into the crook of your neck. You can feel your cheeks and ears tingle at his words of affection.

"Sometimes you can be such a sweet talker," you mumble to yourself while you change into your pajamas. This week it's been an old Jujutsu tech hoodie and a pair of well-worn athletic shorts.

"Only for you," Nanami replies while he undoes the buttons of his outfit, chucking his tan pants and blue button up into the laundry basket in the corner. He dons a pair of sweatpants before returning your side to recapture you in another affectionate hug. It's a well kept secret of the Kento-Y/N household that Nanami Kento likes to lounge around shirtless in the privacy of his apartment. (You've been sworn to secrecy, but only because your boyfriend claims that Gojo and the students would have a field day teasing him if this information were to be made public amongst the jujutsu sorcerer community.)

Turning around, you wrap your arms around his waist, burying your nose against his torso and taking in his comforting scent. It's been so long since the two of you have had a moment to yourselves, and for once your hectic thoughts are silenced in favor of sharing a moment of calm bliss with Nanami. He hums in appreciation, thumbs rubbing soothing circles against your hips.

"Do you want to watch anything tonight?" you ask after a few seconds of silence.

"No," he replies. "I was actually planning on reading the briefing Ichiji just sent me. Gojo apparently has another scheme up his sleeve." You giggle when your boyfriend lets out a pained sigh. On more than one occasion, your boyfriend has ranted to you about Gojo's unorthodox approach to exorcism. "I swear that idiot shaves a year off my lifespan every time I go on a mission with him," Nanami complains. "He's taking away the years I could spend in Malaysia."

You hum thoughtfully before responding, "Then do you mind--"

Once again, Nanami already knows what you're going to say. "Just remember to bring your laptop charger, I know you have a thousand tabs open on your computer right now," he says while exiting to the living room. After a few moments you join him, overburdened laptop and charger in hand. You both take your usual spots in the living room, him resting comfortably in the center of the loveseat and you sitting on a floor cushion, nestled between his legs. Soon you've fallen into a groove, fingers steadily typing on the keyboard. The warmth of Nanami's presence next to you brings a sense of calm, giving you the grounding focus you need to finish off the last of your tasks.

As he thumbs through the printouts Ichiji gave him, Nanami can't help but let his eyes drift towards you every now and then. You look so adorable when you work. From the way your brow furrows whenever you reread a line, to the way you unconsciously chew on your lip when you scrutinize your draft for any errors. Every now and then he'll gently run his fingers through your hair, relishing the content sighs you let out in response.

It only takes about another hour before you're (finally) closing all your tabs (he still doesn't know why your laptop hasn't crashed yet). As you scroll through social media, your head begins to droop. Soon enough you've fallen asleep, breaths coming in soft and even puffs as you rest against his thigh. Smiling to himself, he puts down his papers and gently lifts your body from the floor. He's careful not to wake you as he slowly makes his way back to the bedroom.

Setting you on the bed, he tucks you under the blankets before lying beside you. The moonlight coming through your window softly illuminates your relaxed features, and he softly traces the outline of your face with his thumb. As he continues to caress your cheek, his eyes are drawn to the dark circles under your eyes. He rarely falls asleep after you these days - between his physically demanding occupation and the ever growing number of things you are responsible for at work- he's often the first to fall asleep from sheer exhaustion while you work well into the night. Not to mention that he's had to spend an increasing number of nights away from you, either on challenging missions or accompanying Gojo's students. And while he knows most of your stress comes from being a student, he can't help but feel guilty about all the additional distress his status as a jujutsu sorcerer has caused you.

When you started dating him, you insisted that Shoko teach you how to suture. He hates how much your stitches have improved since then. The neatness of your stitches is a constant reminder of how much you've endured because of him. When he hears you trying to muffle your sobs into a pillow, he swears he can feel his heart crack in his chest, hurting more than any kind of physical wound from battle. Those nights end with him holding you tightly to his bandaged chest, murmuring reassurances and affection into the crown of your head until you've calmed down enough to fall into a fitful sleep. Even when you're unconscious he'll still continue, words morphing into apologies for the sadness he's inflicted upon your shoulders.

Feeling his eyelids being to droop, Nanami presses one last kiss against your forehead before laying down. He wraps his arms around your waist, surrounding you with warmth, hoping that his presence will be enough to keep your nightmares away, at least for tonight. I love you, y/n is the last thought he has before he drifts away, ready to dream of a tropical sunset and a peaceful future with you by his side.

So, Scepter 4 has more taller members than Homra. Whereas, Homra has shorter members just like that. What if the height roles were reversed between the two clans? XD

I don't think it's quite that simple of 'one clan is taller and one is shorter' though, like out of the alphabet boys S4 does have more tall members – particularly Hidaka who is the tallest alphabet boy – but they also have some of the shorter members too – Fuse is the shortest of all the alphabet boys and the same height as Totsuka, only Yata is shorter out of the male characters. So maybe the switch should be less the S4 guys becoming short and the Homra guys becoming tall and instead say everyone gets their height reversed so that the taller members are now short and the shorter members are now tall. This is of course the happiest Yata's ever been, I bet he can't wait to go find Fushimi and rub all this fancy new height in his face. Maybe Yata doesn't even realize that this is a Strain thing, he thinks his prayers have been answered and okay it took a while but that growth spurt finally came. He's not-so-secretly bummed when he gets to Homra and sees a now six-foot-plus Totsuka happily patting the heads of a much shorter Kusanagi and Mikoto and realizes that okay maybe it wasn't a growth spurt after all. The Homra alphabet are taking it all right, like Fujishima and Eric probably don't really care that they're shorter now (though Yata probably takes a moment to look at Eric all 'who's a chihuahua now' and Eric gives him a flat look like 'sorry I didn't hear what you said, golden retriever'). Bandou lost height and Akagi gained height and somehow Bandou is pissed off by this, like it's bad enough Akagi gets more girls now he gets the height as well, this isn't fair. Chitose wonders if being taller will get him more dates, Dewa doesn't care because his hat already added a couple inches anyway.

Over at S4, Fushimi is not leaving his room because there's no way he's running into Misaki while he's like this (also he ran into Captain earlier and despite Munakata being only a few inches taller Munakata couldn't help but mention the 'cute short Fushimi-kun'). Benzai and Kamo don't mind so much being short – Benzai is now closer to the ground so it makes petting cats easier – but Doumyouji is probably very vocally freaking out at how short he is now while the suddenly-tall Fuse and Enomoto just give him flat looks. Enomoto tries to act like this isn't a big deal but he's kinda hoping that maybe he's more memorable now that he's tall, he's even taller than Zenjoh-san so he can keep his place as third megane after all. Hidaka is now the shortest member of the alphabet squad and he keeps playing it off like it isn't that big a deal but at the same time he really wishes Fuse would stop smirking and asking him how the weather is down there. Also Akiyama-san keeps offering to get things off of high shelves for him because after all short people can't reach tall things so Hidaka might need Akiyama's help he only needs to ask and it sounds very polite but also Hidaka gets the distinct impression that maybe he's always been mildly resented up until now for some reason.

I've just rewatched Luther Braxton: Conclusion and I must admit that I'm still as bewildered by the way Liz thinks and draws conclusions as I was the first time around.

Because for me, the most logical conclusion that could be drawn from her newly restored memories is that Red - if he was there the night of the fire - saved her back then, pulled her out (and, perhaps, even got hurt? after all, the man she remembered seeing on the room could not necessarily be her father... or maybe her memories got a little mixed up and she actually saw two men - her father and... someone else 😏).

But all that nonsense about him practically being the reason her father - the father she didn't think much about her entire life - died? 🙄

Not to mention all that bullsh*t about him being in her life, saving her, pretending (ugh) to care about her only because of Fulcrum - was she purposely ignoring the way he'd been looking at her while she was saying this or was she really that blind? Because, in contrast to how well Red usually hides his emotions, his expression was almost painfully full of them when he looked at her in that scene. And there's no way he would look at her like that if he didn't care about her.

Hey, anon!! 👋 Ahhh, yes... I think the most consistent thing about Liz's inconsistently written characterization is the way she always manages to drawn wildly inaccurate conclusions despite the wealth of evidence to the exact opposite. Bitter?? You bet 😒😒😒 But yes, anon, I think the Luther Braxton eps in particular are great examples of this. I know the whole "reversed roles in the extracted memories" nonsense was confusing, but how she didn't manage to realize that Red saved her that night (I maintain this is canon & you can pry it from my cold, dead hands) is beyond me 🙄🙄 And yes, the fact that her LoNg LoSt BiRtH fAtHeR who literally wasn't important until people lacked onto the fact that DEAR GOD THAT MARRIED, SUCCESSFUL CAREER WOMAN IN HER MID-THIRTIES NEEDS A FATHER FIGURE ASAP OR ELSE - d e s p i t e the fact that she was literally loved & raised by her adoptive father SAM - is... so intensely stupid 😑 And LMFAO at Liz not using her eyes to see Red's devastation at her lashing out & refusing to let him touch or help her something that will always fucking gut me btw nbd but then again, she's managed to be blind to that for... actual seasons, so 😭😭😭 Anyway, I 1000% feel you on this, anon, thank you for this ask!! 🥺🥺 Much love to you, my friend!! ❤️

0ne of the great things about L&R is also how it played with gender roles that are found in your typical fantasy/period cdrama. Xuanji as the traditional masculine hero is represented in a lot of ways, not only because she's the first (and only for the moment) female God of war, but her behaviour in general, the fact that her spiritual beast is a ferocious male snake while Sifeng's is a little mischievious female snake and how she treats Sifeng like he's the most beautiful person in the universe, the symbolism of her removing his mask while she's on top of him (you may kill me after I say this, but it didn't scape to me how Lize Palace treat disciples whose masks got removed in front of strangers like people treated girls for "indecent" behaviour and also the lovers curse mask has a very specific design, it has that slim slit in the forehead that resembles another aperture present in female presenting bodies and when this mask was removed, Sifeng was dressed in a bridal dress and he was wet and was bleeding in the same body part in which that slit was in that mask. I rest my case about this being a metaphorical losing of virginity scene with Sifeng coded as a female character, you do what you want with this information), etc.

i saw this, i love this, its fine that u sent this lol ToT i love this meta on Love and Redemption. And now that you point it out, yeah LaR had a lot of symbolism that was used in a reversal of the usual way? Like Xuanji being the god of war was one of the easier things to catch - and the only one I can remember being a woman in these shows I’ve seen, which was a choice I loved. And ultimately one of the first things that made me want to check it out. (Also Twisted Fate of Love I ended up checking out cause the lead heroine in that is also a badass fighter at least at first glance - although I’ve only seen a handful of eps)

And yeah, Sifeng and Xuanji to a degree tend to take the role reversal with how their romance plays out (although Sifeng suffering as a romantic lead is pretty usual in these shows - though I loved that unlike the usual demon romance part, he actually got to u know be the main lead and be happy at the end and make some good choices ayy so I think even with him in that role they were playing with that trope and changing it). But until u brought it up I didn’t really connect just how much Lize sect’s discouraging of romance and taking off their mask can kind of be like ‘being vulnerable’ to someone or giving yourself away. Now that you mention it though yes? Which ahhh I love the writing they ended up doing, so much has a meaning and a Point to the story and structure and themes. Which like I love when stories bother to do that. Also that really falls in line with xuanji/sifeng - xuanji isn’t afraid to go to men’s baths, to pursue people excitedly to befriend or otherwise, she’s very proactive in her decisions usually unless ppl are trying to manipulate her or she just doesn’t realize she has A Decision to make. Whereas sifeng is constantly aware of those things and definitely more in line with like the type of character that is weighing things. 

Its hard to put into words because actually like? Love and Destiny, Eternal Love, Ashes of Love, The Pillow Book, actually do all tend to like mostly proactive heroines who are brazen and do thinks more impulsively than gently or carefully.. however at the same time like, Ye Hua and Ji Lin always pursued Bai Qian - and Fengjiu pursuing a man is a purposeful role reversal to make her parallel Ye Hua, so like... in some regards Xuanji again is quite in the mold she’s originally ‘set up’ to appear to fit. I don’t know where I’m going with this but I suppose... it was nice to see that so many of the characters in LaR placed into roles we expect to find predictable, end up breaking past expectations and being a lot more?

Like words can’t even describe xuanji in some ways. She’s both the heroine and the original ‘villain’ devil who was actually the original hero to begin with? She’s the heroic god of war And the villainous god of war who tried to fight the heavenly realm. She’s the person the human realm puts on a pedestal to lead them and defend them but also the monstrous devil king they spent so long trying to suppress. And Sifeng is... he’s in the clear role of suffering love interest but he’s so much? Like you said, so many romance tropes get flipped on their head between the two. And I’m not good enough at knowing what’s usual for the genre to fully grasp all the ways that happened, but I love hearing about it. I didn’t even THINK about the mask but you’re so right. That’s also a fascinating reason to HAVE the masks in the story at all - because Lize sect doesn’t technically need to hide their identities, everyone knows who any particular Lize sect member is as they interact with other sects and introduce themselves regularly. But as like a way to flip the norms for lize sect, for sifeng, wow yes ok.

Bound to each other (prologue)

genre: angst,  ennemies to ???

pairing: Kuroo x reader

WC: 1520

He soon realized you were both bound to meet.

              When you first met Kozume, he was petting your cat and told you he was waiting for his friend. You were young, as young as him, so as most children would, you tried to engage in conversation and make him your friend.

After all, you had just moved in, and you thought it would be better for you to at least know someone. When you learnt that you went to the same school as he did, you felt nothing but relief: you wouldn't have to start the new school year all by yourself. When your mother called you back home, you worried about him, hoped his friend wouldn't take too long to show up.

On your way for the first day of middle school, you crossed Kozume's path. He was talking to someone, you guessed it was the friend he was waiting for during that day. You were not exactly shy, but you found it harder to go and greet him when he wasn't alone, so you kept walking towards the school's gate. Your gazes crossed, and he seemed to wait for you to come, but that didn't change your mind, deciding you could do that before classes started.

You had already settled your notebook when he showed up in front of your desk:

" You didn't greet me, was that because you were worried about Kuro?" he asked. Oh, so that was his name, you concluded. "I don't know him, and I didn't want to interrupt the both of you. But at least I guess he was on time today," you tried to joke, hoping not to make the situation more awkward than it already was. "I guess so, but if he was, I might have been able to introduce you to each other."

“Well, we could always do that during recess, right?”

Recess came quickly, and you followed Kozume. While when you first saw Kuroo this morning, laughing with your classmate, he seemed approachable, you were met with nothing but coldness. You did not read too much into this, and thought he just had a bad first impression since you did not greet him this morning. You couldn’t blame him, you might have reacted the same way if the roles were reversed. So you tried your best to change that, so that you could make him a friend; you knew he was close to Kozume, so you concluded that he couldn’t be a bad person. That, and also you didn’t want your friendship with Kozume to be clouded by a misunderstanding.

Months passed by, and it seemed like what was once coldness on his part had grown into hatred. You wanted to give up on him, and you had no choice but not to: he tended to come to Kozume’s house a lot since they both were Neighbors, and you tended to go to Kozume’s house to play videogames with him, so you were bound to cross each other’s paths at some point.

You had tried to find a reason why he was so cold with you. You really did, and for much longer than any middle schooler would. At first you thought it was because you were introverted and he was more extroverted, but you realized that it would not make sense, because Kozume was also introverted, and they were both best friends. You thought it was because you knew nothing about volleyball, that would have probably been nothing but a petty excuse, but you decided to give it a try. You watched a few matches to understand the rules before you asked him to teach you how to play volleyball, which you grew to like, but when you did, he looked at you with utter disdain. So didn’t seek to pursue it. And as you did, you decided all your efforts weren’t worth it, and that one day, he might mature and tell you what you did wrong.

Having to meet him with Kozume was a thing, because he would always tell him to cool down if he ever got too mean with you, but having to meet him at your family house was another. You had moved here because your parents had more business associates in Japan, and especially in Tokyo, so it would be more convenient for them to be close. Little did you know that one of those associates was Kuroo’s father. It really seemed like fate kept pulling you together.

    You thought he would at least try to make it seem like he had nothing against you in front of your parents, but he did not. You were thankful he had at least the decency not to snap some remarks at you. You noticed something that night. While both of your parents were there, it was only him and his father. That was a part of his life you did not know about, but then again, he would have had no reason to tell you about it. You wondered if Kozume knew. Probably. That must have been the reason why he was so often at Kozume’s place. You decided it would be wiser not to ask him. You ignored each other for most of the dinner, and you prayed that it would be a one-time thing. Despair spread across your face as you heard your parents, “it was nice having you here, next friday at your place it is?” It would not be a one-time thing.

    The next Monday at school, you decided not to mention it, neither to Kozume nor Kuroo. You had just been accepted into the school’s basketball club, and you did not want your mood to be spoiled by a grudge some upperclassman held to you for apparently no reason. You decided to eat with the other club members; it would allow you to get out of your comfort zone -to be honest, you already had Kozume, and you were so preoccupied to fix the Kuroo situation, as you so called it, that you never made new real friends. You sent Kozume a text beforehand so that it wouldn’t wait for you. 

    Having new friends did not change anything between you and Kozume, you still ate with him every second day and spent most of your recesses with him, but it allowed you to take a break from Kuroo’s incessant remarks.

    You had kept this routine until Kuroo entered high school, when you went back to eating with Kozume every day. This year announced itself to be great: you had become the captain of the basketball club, you had great grades, and you wouldn’t have to deal with Kuroo everyday. You were not stupid, you expected that Kuroo graduating meant that he would spent more time at Kozume’s house to catch up, but you were still disappointed when that happened

    You now only saw him when you were both at Kozume’s place, and thankfully, the dinner with his father that was once a weekly thing had become a monthly thing. Yet, this new life was bittersweet. He probably wanted to make up for the time where he couldn’t annoy you, because  you felt like it got ten times worse. He had never insulted you when he was still in middle school. You were both waiting for Kozume when he did for the first time. You wondered if it was because of new friends he made, but a part of you knew he wasn’t the type to hang around bullies -even if in some ways, he had turned himself into one. That was the turning point into your relationship, you had never asked Kozume about it, because you didn’t want him to be uncomfortable by talking about his other friend.

“Say Kozume, do you remember our first day of middle school?”

“As much as I can,” Kozume answered, eyes riveted on his console.

“You remember how I didn’t greet you when I arrived ? Is that the only reason Kuroo hates me so much?” You knew you must have sounded dumb, maybe even desperate, but at this point you would do anything to fix the Kuroo situation.

“I know Kuro can be petty, but I don’t think he can be that petty, especially about something that happened when you were eleven,” he looked at you when he said that, and you knew that even if he didn’t show it, he wished for this old feud to stop.

“So you’re telling me he never told you?”

“I’d rather not talk about you when I’m with him, for obvious reasons.”

    You knew that was the truth, that Kozume wasn’t the most confrontational person, and that even if he was, Kuroo would have probably told him off.

    Soon enough, it was your turn to start high school. You were not in the same class as Kozume anymore, he was in 1-3 while you were in 1-6. You had joined the basketball club, and since its schedule didn’t clash with the volleyball club’s, Kozume asked you to be their manager. You still remember a few things about volleyball, and even if it was not much, you came to the conclusion that it would be enough to learn more on the fly. What you didn’t remember was that the reason why Kozume played volley was also the reason why you never pursued it.

A/N: Hiiii: I hope you appreciated this chapter, i really liked writing it, even if it’s my first time writing FF lol. If you see any mistake please lmk! Also, this chapter was kinda written in (y/n)’s POV, but next one will be written in Kuroo’s POV. I’ll try to publish it tomorrow, no promises though :C.

Hi I'm not sure if your requests are open (if not feel free to ignore this) but I was wondering if I could get some headcanons for Law finding out his SO is related to Doflamingo somehow? Like, she hates him too, but she didn't know about Law's grudge against him so she never said anything? Thank you in advance, I really love your headcanons 💖

thank you! i had to do a little research on how old doflamingo was when they left mariejois, just to make sure that the timeline worked for law’s age, and it does. you’re technically older, if you follow canon. but it’s up to you, obviously.

you were just a baby when your parents left mariejois for the “normal world” so you had no concept of the celestial dragons, and had no idea you were one for several years

all you knew of your past for the longest time was that you had been dropped off at an orphanage by an angry mob who were looking for your parents, although the kind people running the place had no idea why

it wasn’t until years later when rosinante tracked you down with the help of the marines that it was all laid out at your feet

the story of what doflamingo had done had made your skin crawl, and that was on top of what he was still doing currently

it was only natural that you hated him for taking away your parents, your lovely brother, and your childhood

you agreed with rosinante that it was best that you stay where you were at, because if doflamingo found out where you were at he would no doubt try and bring you into the fold, and he was unsure of how doffy would react when you said no

because you would say no, without a doubt

so rose left with promises that he would return, but he never did, and you would find out later he had been murdered by doflamingo and his associates, and you swore that if you were ever given the chance, you would help rid the world of him

it was pure chance that you met law, with neither of you knowing who the other was

unbeknownst to you, law had been with him when he had found you, but he had kept the boy hidden away so that he could meet you by himself for the first time, and he had flat out never told law who he was meeting, as there were more pressing matters to attend to and he didn’t want to risk doffy finding out about you through him accidentally

so your joining the crew was entirely random, and law never expected to fall for you. But he did, and never realized you were the baby sister of his mortal enemy because you shared the last name of your adoptive parents

of course, like all secrets, it eventually came out

law never talked about his past, and you were fine with that, because you knew there were dark things there he didn’t want to dredge up

you, on the other hand, were perfectly at ease talking about your past, but somehow it slipped your mind to mention you were adopted, until you did

law naturally asked if you knew your birth parents, and watched your eyes darken with grief. you explained briefly about what rosinante had told you, and you were surprised to see the livid anger that blazed across his face

you were unprepared for the outburst that followed, and it was a storm of angry yelling and accusations

you were a liar, a spy for doflamingo, and he couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before

at that, you lost it, spitting how much you hated doflamingo and everything he stood for, how much you wanted to avenge the family you had never known and your stolen childhood

in his rage, though, he wasn’t listening and left, slamming the door behind him with such force it cracked the frame. you left the ship as well, wandering aimlessly as you fought to reconcile the normally docile law with the angry monster you had just seen, all while nursing the stinging pain in your chest at the unwarranted, unfair insults law had hurled at you

you couldn’t help your family, and you couldn’t have known that he harbored such a deep-seated hatred for your older brother. if you had, you might have told him right away who you were and what you knew, because now it looked as if you had been hiding the information

after a while, you returned to the ship and found law waiting. He didn’t apologize, but wanted to talk, even though you had the feeling he wouldn’t have come back if it hadn’t been his ship. You could tell he was still angry beyond belief, and would readily kill you for any wrong move, and that hurt

the fact that he was so willing to harm you made your skin crawl, and you almost left right then and there without another word

but you felt like you owed it to him to explain in more detail, and gave him the story rose had given you shortly before he died, and swore that you had never even met doflamingo before, begging him to believe you. you didn’t want to have to leave the heart pirates, or him, but if it was a choice between leaving and being killed, you would leave

at long last, law cracked and admitted he believed you, saying you reminded him too much of cora, now that he knew who you were, to think you were in doflamingo’s pocket. it was then that he explained to you about his past with cora, much to your surprise, and it was easy to figure out that you had been within an inch of meeting each other all those years ago

after that, he did apologize and swept you up in an embrace, but you understood now that his reaction, while unwarranted, was instinctual. you couldn’t blame him, since you very well would have done the same thing if your roles were reversed

that made you wonder if it was destiny that you met, now knowing that you both shared such a painful past due to doflamingo. a lot of time was spent reminiscing about rose, mostly on law’s part, and you ate up every detail you could about the brother you had missed the chance to know

it only made you hate doflamingo more, but you found that, in a twisted way, it bonded you more to law because now you knew of your mutual hate for the man, and law had a new comrade in his crusade against doflamingo

Flash Gordon Didn't Bother With Fossil Fuels

Flash Gordon Didn't Bother With Fossil Fuels

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Buster Crabbe played the iconic Flash Gordon like a man obsessed, giving the legendary movie serial its high-octane action and frenetic speed.

He didn’t wait around for help when faced with certain death, and leaped into action. Somehow rescue always came after the cliff-hanger that ended each episode.

Likewise, the creators of the then high-cost production didn’t mess around to make sure all scientific details matched reality or potential possibilities of space-time theory. They created staged sets complemented with electricity arcs, surreal noise and big machines with concentric circles of blinking lights. They fuzzed over details when it came to power sources, transportation and various high-flying technologies. The bird men’s floating city comes to mind.

Doctor Zarkov in his introduction to the dungeon-like palace laboratory immediately figured out the nuclear energy source that enabled Ming the Merciless to rule over all of Mongo and threaten the hapless planet Earth. Things that make you go, “Hmmmm,” to quote Arsenio Hall found no answers in the script.

Society could use such enthusiasm and blind faith about now. The debate over climate change has dropped out of the presidential campaign. And energy independence is coming to mean relying on burning coal and natural gas. But sordid, particulate-filled air will soon be determined to be the most costly disaster in the history of mankind.

We could use a hero.

Mongo and climate change

Eugene Robinson with the Washington Post calls out the president and his challenger on climate change, saying “neither has mentioned the subject in the debates.”

That’s a problem. The nations of the world are racking up a huge debt in the form of carbon spewed by everything from cook fires to aging diesel truck and coal-fueled power plants. Most scientists warn of dire consequences should the increasing rate of its production not be reversed.

Author and climate activist Bill McKibben says we don’t have much time to engage this enemy. In a piece for Rolling Stone, McKibben says the Earth’s average temperature can increase just another 2 degrees Celsius before it succumbs to significant effects of climate change. He says that equates to 563 gigatons of carbon dioxide.

More drilling, really?

Robinson points out that President Obama stoked his fossil-fuel credentials in the second presidential debate, saying, “We have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years.” Meanwhile, he quotes GOP hopeful Mitt Romney saying, “I’ll do it by more drilling.”

The “it” to which Romney refers is energy independence. But energy, at least from fossil fuels, is controlled by world markets. To say all domestically produced fuel should be used only in this country would be against the very free market beliefs that Romney espouses. In other words, increasing extraction of domestic fossil fuels won’t matter much.

The presidential campaign “is an opportunity with complicated implications for global prosperity and security,” Robinson surmises. “Unfortunately, Obama and Romney have chosen to see this more as an opportunity to pretend that the light at the end of the tunnel is not an approaching train.”

Or Ming the Merciless.

Danger Will Robinson

As in the inaugural episode of Flash Gordon, (metaphorical) meteors are cascading down upon the planet. Only in this case, we don’t have a Flash to go off seeking solutions. It’s got to be accomplished by slow and methodical investment into alternative energy solutions. Sure, it’ll cost money. What doesn’t?

Director Frederick Stephani created those initial Flash Gordon episodes, using what then was the best technology of the day. Suspension of disbelief and storyline allowed the viewer to disappear into Mongo along with Flash, Princess Aura and Dale Arden. No matter that the entire alien population of a marauding planet speaks perfect, although stilted, English. As for the fact the planet has an atmosphere and perpetual daylight even though it doesn’t orbit a star… big deal. Not everything needs explanation.

Stephani uses sets like current sci-fi directors employ armies of workers to create computerized graphics. Many scenes look as if they’re stage productions. The same caverns appear over and over. The interior of every space ship looks the same, and some of the characters, a bearded James Pierce as Prince Thun comes to mind, look as if he grabbed the first beach bums from Los Angeles to play minor parts. “Who are you? Beard looks good. You’ll do,” is how I imagine Stephani casting some the prince role.

In other words, he made it work. We could do the same with alternative energy.

Scene stealer

Stephani and the producers certainly recycled sets. Imdb.com reports that “despite its large budget (about three times its contemporaries), this serial utilized many sets from other Universal films, such as the laboratory and crypt set from ‘The Bride of Frankenstein,’ the castle interiors from ‘Dracula’s Daughter,’ the idol from ‘The Mummy’ and the opera house interiors from ‘The Phantom of the Opera.'”

Yet, with the exception of Crabbe, most of the people involved in the original Flash faded from the limelight. I had initially thought Priscilla Lawson was in some way related to “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.” Perhaps a homage as was “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar” to its namesake.

No such luck. Despite the splash, especially amongst young theater-goers, made by the cast of Flash Gordon, Lawson, Charles Middleton (who played Ming), Jean Rogers (who played Dale Arden) and others faded quickly from celluloid view.

Princess Aura returns

Here’s a bit of Priscilla Lawson, one of the most mysterious of Hollywood’s mysterious women. Her film career peaked with Flash Gordon.

Roy Kinnard, author of the book “Science Fiction Serials,” says Lawson’s career was too short. “She immortalized and endeared herself to generations of movie fans, who, after seeing her, have wanted to know more about her,” he says in a post on Tony LoBue’s Flash Gordon website.

Maybe that’s what happens to the earliest players in a trend. Perhaps many of those who pioneered clean energy will be forgotten until the mainstream realizes their importance and the significance of their message. Then you can be sure the posts and tweets will start burnishing their image.

Or maybe not. It would be nice to see a Flash Gordon leap into battle with no weapons and stand in front of the enemy. Oh that’s right, Daryl Hannah did that in northeast Texas in October 2012, blocking construction crews working on the Keystone XL pipeline.
