“Brothers Best Friend”

Summary: Your stuck at your childhood home during spring break with your Brother; Suguru and his annoying best friend, Satoru Gojo. Everything goes well up till a single night

Warnings: 19 Yr old reader, Gojo is 21, banter, mentions of blood and fighting, fingering, virgin reader, Gojo being a lil mean :3 pet names, Gojo steals Geto’s car, STEM reader 😛, NOT AVTUALLY PROOF READ, Porn with plot

Staying in your childhood home after long drawn out semester of college classes, shitty side jobs, unpaid internships, you could finally relax.

So you did. You laid back against the pillows on your childhood bed, hanged out with childhood friends who stayed in your hometown for school, stayed up late watching reruns of old shows that ended in the 2000’s. Everything was perfect.

Until a tall man with sunglasses and fluffy white hair walked through the front door with a smug grin on his face.

Satoru Gojo, your brother’s best friend since childhood. He walked through the childhood home like he lived there. Taking off his shoes at the door before walking over to the stocked fridge without sparing a glance at you. It irked you- HE irked you.

You and Gojo never got along, no matter what your brother or parents tried to make you two be at least civil in each other’s presence. It never worked out.

“Suguru I didn’t know you already had a girl over” Gojo said to your brother has he grabbed a bag of chips and a soda that you bought and was saving.

He squints his eyes a bit before he chuckles “Oh your sister, sorry that’s even worse”

“Gojo for the love of god, be quiet.” You mumble as you cross your arms with a huff.

“Ahh don’t be like that Guppy~” He coos with a playful glint in his icy blue eyes.

Another reason you hated Gojo. The god forsaken nicknames that he never let go, even as you two grew older. This one stuck and never went away. It was probably because your parents called you it all the time for your love of fish.

You would cry when your family made fish, sniffling as you would try to put the already dead fish into the sink to bring it back to life. Gojo never failed to tease you for that. Laughing as he kept telling you the fish was dead and never coming back.

He would also try to make you eat fish, shoving the fork of warm salmon to your lips as you cried. “You’re such a cry baby, Guppy!” He’d remark with loud laughter as your brother hit him over the head and yelled at him to stop bullying his younger sister.

“Would you stop calling me that! Seriously” I snap at him. Suguru sighed and shook his head at the oncoming banter.

“But you’re just like a guppy! You got fat cheeks like those goldfish” He teased as he flopped down onto the couch next to him.

“Their called Bubble eye goldfish first off, and it’s their eyes that are big not the cheeks” I retort with a roll of my eyes.

“Nerd.” He said with a fake cough.

Your eye twitched slightly before you eye the drink, your drink in his hand.

“That’s my shit asshole! If you’re gonna take something from my fridge at least have the decency to ask!” I exclaim as I move to try to grab it from his hand.

Your chest pushed almost in his face as you tried to reach out for it. He let out a laugh and lifted his arm fully up to avoid your grabbing.

“If I asked you would’ve said no!” He said with a wide grin on his pale face.

You let out another annoyed huff as you get off the couch. You slap the back of Gojo’s head before you turn on my heel.

“Whatever, I have a party to get ready for so this bullshit, doesn’t matter” You grumble as you walk off and up the stairs.

It couldn’t have been more than 2 hours before the sound of your heels are heard coming down the stairs. Gojo is still on the couch next to your brother as their hands click away playing a video game on the TV.

“I have a little reunion party with some of my friends, so i’m heading out. I should be back by 10” you say mostly to the air, as you grab your handbag from the kitchen.

Gojo’s eyes scanned you up and down. A light blue crop top that hugged your chest just right in Gojo’s opinion. A pair of black jean shorts, and a pair of lifted sneakers. Everything you wore, how you looked, made Gojo’s normally calm face flush.

Gojo wanted to say something, maybe a teasing joke or a horrible pick up line but he was left speechless. You had really grown up. To him before you left for college you were always Suguru’s annoying crybaby little sister. But now… You were Y/N the stunning STEM major that looked so good dressed up in his colors.

You left and the night passed by quickly. Gojo couldn’t shake you from his mind though. When his mind would wonder from the video games of the TV showing playing, it would run back to you. Little snippets of moments from childhood, your witty personality, the little tears that would swell up in your big Bambi eyes when you would see a stray animal or be offered fish.

He’s snapped out by two things. Suguru snoring on the other side of the couch and Suguru’s phone ringing appearing your name. Gojo groaned a bit as I leaned up from the couch and grabbed the phone.

“Hello?” Gojo says through the phone.

“Gojo, it’s me, Y/N uhm where’s my brother? I need to picked up, like…now” You say with a rushed tone, worry lacing your tone.

“He’s dead asleep, what’s wrong I can get you” Gojo responds as he’s already sitting up from the couch and grabbing his car keys.

You sigh softly “The party, went to shit… Me and this girl started arguing and it got heated. She pushed me so I throw a punch. She was on the floor and I thought I won but then a knife was pulled out, cops are coming and I’m sitting on the front porch waiting” You explain.

“I’m already driving, I have your location, I’ll hear there in a minute” Gojo responds before he hangs up.

The man speeds through the streets, trying to get to you as soon as he could. He pulls up in front of the house and sees you sitting on the stairs up to the porch, a cigarette in between your fingers. He speed walks over to you, looking at your bruised face and crust of dried blood under your nose.

“Are you okay? Did you need to go to the hospital? Can you walk” He worriedly asks as He pulls you up onto your feet.

“I’m okay Gojo, really. It’s just a bruised eye and some cuts” You try to explain say as he holds you while you walk to the car. He keeps you tightly in his arms as he gets you into the front seat.

“I was worried when you mentioned the knife, thought you’ve been stabbed” He mutters has his hands keep close on the stirring wheel. He drives fast to get home, speeding through red lights as you looked at him with a worried expression.

“Why are you going so fast! You’re gonna get a speeding ticket and a ticket for running through like 2 red lights” You scold him as he just rolls his eyes.

“Your hurt, I need to get you back to the house so we can figure out if you need stitches or if you have a concussion. Plus; this is Suguru’s car” He explains as he moves his right hand to pats your thigh then keeps his palm on the skin.

It’s no use in fighting him so you nod. you barely noticed you got home. Gojo swiftly helps you out of the car and rushes you into the house. He sees Suguru is still sleep so he softly places his phone back down where is was before he takes up to the upstairs bathroom.

Gojo pulls out a med-kit and a portable ice pack. He pops the pack open and hands it to you to place on your eye. You tell him a soft thank you. He walks up and examines your face. His thumb rubbing your cheek as he uses his phone flashlight to check your pupils. They seem fine before he disinfects your cuts and puts little bandaid on them gently.

“Thank you Satoru…How can I repair you for helping me out” I whisper to him as he looks down at you.

“How. about…A kiss?” He teasingly says with a smile.

“Your for real?” You ask with a flush reddening your face.

“Couldn’t stop thinking about you” He whispers.

You smile softly before you pull his down and press your lips against his. You put the ice pack down as his hands go to your waist.

The kiss has passion of years of tension and want flowing into the touch. His lips soft as he puts you on the bathroom counter. He hands clawing your clothes with need.

“I-Fuck- I need you sweetheart” He whispers to you, hands slowly pulling at your shorts. He unzips the jeans and pulls them down.

His lips stay connected to yours, his finger tips brushing against your clothed cunt. His thumb swiping circles along your throbbing clit. Your breath hitches into the kiss, your back hitting against the mirror.

“Fuck-Satoru wait” You gasp as you hold his wrist in place “I’m a virgin, like never had anything done.” You tell him.

“I’m fine with that, if your are. I’ll be gentle and take it at your pace” He says. You nod and let go of his wrist and lets him use a finger to slide off your panties.

“Such a pretty pussy” He groans as his cold hands rub up and down your folds. “Can’t believe I didn’t get to look at her sooner” He whispers.

His thumb rubs against your clit again, pressing slightly down as you gasp out. “Fuck! Satoru” You whine.

Your foreheads lean against each other he shushes you softly “Gotta stay quiet baby, don’t need your brother hearing us” He warns.

“Already so wipe from just a lil’ teasing, you really haven’t been touched” He mumbles as he puts his middle finger inside your hole.

Your moans grow loud making you clasp a hand over your mouth. He speeds up his pace a bit, before he puts his ring finger inside. His fingers curl at the gummy spot in your cunt as you loudly whine against your palm.

“Fuck baby, clamping down on me, can’t imagine how my dick is gonna fit into this pretty cunt” He groans.

You take your hand off your mouth . Your hands grab his shoulders, his fingers fucking into you at a pace that made you almost tear up.

“Sososo good! Fuck- Please don’t stop please Satoru please” You moan while trying to keep your voice down “I need to cum, I’m gonna cum soon Toru’” You tell him as your head throws back against the mirror.

The white hair man grins wildly, hunger and lust flaming in his blue eyes. His fingers keep a fast pace, curling and rubbing up against that sweet spot.

“Satoru I’m gonna cum!” You warn you with loud whines escaping your throat.

“Let go baby, cum around me fingers sweet girl” He tells you.

The two fingers hit the perfect spot before your seeing stars. Loud moans unable to be held back. Your cunt clamps down onto his fingers. Your thighs shake fast as he slows down the pace slightly and lets you ride out your orgasam.

Sweat drips down your forehead with sighs leaving your mouth. Satoru kisses your cheek softly as his hands leave your sensitive pussy.

“Such a good girl…” He tells you “Let’s go take a bath”

.

The next morning while you and Satoru sit on the couch eating food Suguru slams the front door open “Why the fuck do I have 3 speeding tickets?!”

Adopted Au Headcannons for R!Leo

So this is very heavily based off of the Adopted Mikey Au and the Adopted Donnie Au done by @tblsomedoodles so if you don't know the basics that would be a great place to start. (They also gave me permission to write these headcannons to thank you again!!!!).

Basically, I was at work, and absently thinking about their Adopted Aus, and thought, "who would adopt R!Leo (otherwise listed as Blue) if he went missing in another dimension?" And first some reason the first person that popped into my head was 2012 Donatello, so this is that train wreck.

Keep in mind that Blue is, like, 3-4 yr. old in this au, and happened to get sent to the 2012 universe after being attacked in the sewers of his own dimension and doesn't go back to his home dimension until right before the Rise show starts.

Purple is R!Leo's comfort color (since it reminds him of his twin) so I can see Donnie being the first person he would latch onto.

-It helps that the reason Blue is in this universe would be a highly coincidentally timed portal on 2012 Donnie's end that transported both Leo and the mutant attacking him to the sewers nearby

Donnie goes to investigate the energy surge that happened during the fight and finds Blue, saving him from either the mutant that had been attacking him prior to the portal or the krang who might have been the reason for the portal in the first place, haven't decided yet. Donnie takes him home to patch him up, and gets imprinted on by a very lost, confused, and scared Blue who just wants his twin but hey this stranger is wearing Purple's colors so he must nice, right?

Blue obviously gets most of his sense of humor and energy from Uncle Mikey. They love to skateboard together and play pranks, usually involving a lot of messes to clean up. Both get into food competitions, where whoever can throw together the weirdest food combination and eat it without throwing up wins (Donnie always gets upset when they do that though, worried about Blue's health).

Uncle Raph is probably (read definitely) the most protective of the uncles, and even though he isn't the sensei, he still helps teach Blue how to fight. He'll introduce him to Chompy and show him to use the pinball machine, and if anyone accused Raph of going soft he'd slap their head then go get Blue for their scheduled nap (because Blue will only sleep if someone else is there). Blue likes that Raph is so big, because it reminds him of Red (even if Raph is bigger than he remembers Red being), and naps with him are the best (but he'll never tell his dad that). If I do include the fact that Blue gets plushies that remind him of his brothers like @tblsomedoodles did in their au, they were made/knitted by Raph (once again, something he'll never admit, he just claims he found them randomly)

Uncle Leo, of course, is the sensei, but they still interact outside of training. Out of all the uncles, Blue probably looks up to Leo the most, resulting in another "Splinter Junior" situation, but between Leos, and less copy but no less "hero worship." Leo is like the Jupiter Jim or Captain Ryan of Blue's childhood. Leo will introduce Blue to Space Heroes, and the two will spend hours basically fan-boying over the show.

Obviously Blue is closest with his self-assigned dad, Donnie. Donnie is the reason that Blue gets so interested in medical practices and chemistry, and Donnie has a lot of practice (cough Mikey) with grabby hands in the lab, so he knows how to keep an eye on Blue while still working in a way that lets Blue stay in the lab during the day if he wants to. Blue thinks his dad is the coolest guy ever, being able to make whatever he wants (He built such a cool car! and Metalhead was awesome!) and fixing anything that breaks (like his toys). He learns sarcasm by watching his dad talk with Uncle Casey, and boy was that something that Donnie will always regret (second only to the fact that Casey also seemed to be trying to teach Blue how to flirt). (side note: this would be in a universe that did not emphasize a lot of romance. While all of that drama still happened when they were teenagers, the only couple that I MIGHT have as canon in the Au would be Raph/Mona, because it was the only ship that didn't have some kind of problematic background). When Blue decides that his dad hasn't slept enough, he'll go and sit on his lap, and just start to fall asleep. In an effort to make him comfortable, Donnie will try to move him to the bed, and when he tries to go back to work, Blue will latch onto his arm and refuse to let go, forcing him to stay "just until Blue falls asleep." Leo walks in ten minutes later to the father-son duo practically dead to the world on the bed. On the other hand, if Donnie doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, Blue will make it his personal mission to keep the uncles out of the lab.

It's unclear when exactly Donnie became Blue's "dad," it just happened one day with Blue walking into the room, half-asleep, and asking his dad (by his now new title) if he had seen his blanket/plushies. Donnie, understandably, freaks out internally (and later externally) but can't deny that something in him was both happy and sad: happy because he had grown attached to the little tot; sad because he knew that a time would come when he would have to send him back home (dealing with alternates has left Donnie with the very real realization that this is probably a another little Leo, especially after hearing Blue talk about his brothers). Among the infinite possibilities of universes, though, that would take some time, so maybe it would be ok for the kid to call him that? He'd ask for advice from his brothers and April, and all of them, while equally cautious, would encourage him to let it happen because dangit they're attached too (although Leo would be the most hesitant, with his sense of responsibility).

I'd like to think that Blue learned Spanish by watching tv with April and Casey. Sure, he watches tv with his uncles too, but I can't see them watching anything that might have Spanish in them. I'm imagining that April and Casey were babysiting and both fell asleep with the tv on (thinking Blue was asleep too). Some Spanish drama came on and little Blue fell in love with the accent, so he started trying to copy it. Donnie caught on and set up a system to teach him some of the words instead of just copying the accent (he doesn't know spanish, but there are a lot of learning programs online he can hack into). It becomes a bonding experience between little Blue and the humans, since they take it upon themselves to help him learn whenever they babysit (April being more successful in these lessons than Casey).

Blue was seen as very athletic in Rise!, so I imagine that he fairly enjoys sports. Watching Casey play hockey probably kick started it, which evolved into skateboarding, basketball, baseball, football, etc. He couldn't play all of these a lot, but skateboarding and basketball (or at least shooting hoops) were fairly simple to set up and do constantly. He likes baseball and football simply for the fact that it gives him and excuse to throw a ball and run around a lot, but he doesn't play them often and prefers the other two. His uncles help set up a basketball hoop in the lair for one of his birthdays, and all he did for the next week was shoot hoops.

He thinks April is cool. Leo may be Blue's personal hero, but April is a SUPER hero. She had powers and a cool outfit, and in Blue's mind that's all he needed to label his new favorite aunt as an honest to goodness superhero (followed later by Mikey's alter-ego Turflytle). He's always following her around when she visits the lair and trying to get her to make him "fly."

Instead of the lair being attacked by the mutant/yokai that tried to kidnap and eat Blue, I imagine that the event that triggers Blue's return to his original world involving the Krang. The Krang attacked the lair or there was an attack outside somewhere that Blue snuck out and got stuck in, but a Krang would attempt to drag Blue through the portal to use as bait or leverage, and Blue's ninpo messed with the portal and sent him home (without the Krang for some reason, idk its fanfiction so fanon magic). He returns to the same place where he disappeared in his world, not that he remembers that that is where he left, and instead of Tello or Angie finding him, it would be Raphie (because I'm trying not to be too similar to the original Adopted AU, no more than I already am). The rest of the Rise show continues as normal.

Maybe if I get more inspiration I'll do some headcannons for when R!Leo reconnects with his family in the 12 dimension, but for now this is all I can think of.

Oliver Wood is NOT a Good Captain

“Bad news, Harry. I’ve just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She — er — got a bit shirty with me. Told me I’d got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about you staying alive. Just because I told her I didn’t care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch on it first.”

But even Quidditch had lost its fun. The rest of the team wouldn’t speak to Harry during practice, and if they had to speak about him, they called him ‘the Seeker’.

The Gryffindor team visited again on Sunday morning, this time accompanied by Wood, who told Harry, in a hollow, dead sort of voice, that he didn’t blame him in the slightest.

I get the impression that fandom thinks Wood is a loving, good captain but he really is not. In isolation, the third snippet could be read as a joke (they did lose the match after all and Wood is quidditch obsessed). However, when you look at Oliver in totality, he shows time after time that he cares more about winning than Harry's safety and is perfectly ok with throwing Harry under the bus.

Overall, contrary to popular opinion, the Gryffindor team sucks. I am not talking about the individual players, but the whole team. Hermione disses Draco by saying that the lions got on their team by talent (screw Hermione btw, what does this annoying girl know about talent?)...but without Harry, they seem to be a bunch of losers.

Remember Minerva broke the rules for Harry to join the team as a first-year. Do you think she would have done so if the team was truly competent? The Quidditch World Cup in book 4 proved that a team can have a crap seeker and still dominate/win. The lions literally needed favouritism/nepotism to have a chance at winning. Let that sink in. But Snape is totally the biased teacher around here (sarcasm)

In either book 1 or book 2 (I think book 2), Harry missed the match and the team had the worst defeat in over 300 years! Further proof that these people suck without "chosen-one in more ways than one" Harry. By the way, Slytherin has reserve players. Does the Gryfinfor team have reserve players? Because I never see any. In book 6, when Draco and other Slytherins are conveniently out sick (to give Ron a chance at winning because the golden trio never seems to have to earn anything), they have backup players ready (eg that Harper guy who played Seeker in Draco's place). However, in book 5 when Harry and the twins are suspended, the team needs to hold tryouts to get new players. No backups in sight.

In book 3 when Harry gets his firebolt, the team (the entire school minus Slytherin house) gets all horny for the broomstick. "We have a firebolt!" basically reduced Harry's skill and importance to the team to his broomstick. These people don't care about Harry. Yet, it's such a crime when Draco and his team got new broomsticks in book 2! Gryffindors == Hypocrites.

I don't see much of Marcus Flint but from what I have read, I like him more as a captain. When the Gryffindor team tried to group assault a 12 yr old Draco after calling Hermione a mudblood (should have just called her a "bitch" or "hag" instead and saved everyone the need to virtue signal), Flint immediately threw himself in front of Draco to protect him. Remember these are older students trying to beat up a tiny 12 yr old because of something he said. The Weasley twins are BEATERS - just the 2 of them alone could have really hurt Draco. Compare this to Oliver who doesn't give a damn about Harry being hurt as long as he wins.

Also, when Draco is an idiot and loses to Harry in book 2 (of course, the only time someone has a better broom than Harry, Harry wins because that person decided to fool around despite wanting to play on a quidditch team before Harry even knew what the sport was), the Slytherins don't ostracize Draco the way the Gryfindors ostracized Harry when he lost house points.

In a nutshell: Marcus Flint >>> Oliver Wood & Gryffindor team sucks.

PS. If you are a Draco anti or Hermione stan or any other kind of Gryffindor stan that thinks Draco deserved to be group assaulted by bigger, older, stronger students because of calling Hermione a slur in response to her insulting him first, just ignore this post and move on. Unlike you and a good chunk of the HP fandom, I don't get sadistic pleasure from seeing Draco constantly (group) assaulted for saying mean words to characters who had contempt for him first.

hey! ive no idea what genshin is so

why’d you get into it + who’s your favorite character?

OMG!!!

so its a video game where youre either aether or lumine, twins who were separated by an unknown god when they traveled to a new world. you meet paimon, a floating fairy whos your best friend and travel guide. you travel from nation to nation, gaining the elemental powers of that nations god.

you help each nation solve their crisis and save their people, in return for information about your lost twin (spoiler alert theyre really unhelpful)

along the way, you can get other characters to join your team. they have visions, which means the gods chose them to have a specific elemental power. there are seven elements, except for some reason dendro didnt come out til last year??

there was originally two regions, mondstadt and liyue, but then inazuma, then sumeru, and finally fontaine have come out over the last 3 yrs

most of the boys look like girls which is really validating as a boy who looks like a girl

my favorite character is kaveh!! hes an architect whos struggling with money, and who lives with his frenemy alhaitham. he and haitham were best friends in college, but had a falling out and didnt speak for years.

theyve lived together for a while, and while they make each other super angry, they take care of each other. alhaitham says kaveh is pathetic, yet keeps paying his bills and complimenting his character. kaveh says alhaitham is impossible to be around, but refuses offers to move out and is always thinking of alhaitham. their entire existence is to be the opposite of each other: kaveh is loud and proud and emotional, alhaitham is humble and stoic and quiet. if you invert images of them, you see that they have the exact opposite color palette. almost every voice line about them mentions the other one. even their voice actors ship them (they said if their characters were musical songs theyd be gay or european and if you were gay, they had to re-record their first scene because they were told they made them too implied to be a couple)

aka oh my god they were roommates but with an angsty silly twist

i got into it because a lot of my old friends played, and the characters looked cute. id literally never played anything other than mario kart before so i dont know how different from normal games it is but i highly recommend it!! it takes up a ton of storage but i play on my ipad and its always been fine

anyways im sorry for such a long response 😭😭😭 but if you're wondering whether you should play the answer is yes!! its free to join and is really cool and you can play with other people once you reach a certain level! if you do join, join the america server or we cant play together 😭

[chrispypapas]

I am glad you beat DA: Origins! Hope you enjoyed! :D

i did enjoy it! im gonna ramble for a bit about it now

so the version i played was the steam port and its absolute ass do not ever play that one, my desktop is ~10 yrs old and can run any new game on it however da:o continuously crashed and had massive rubber banding issues (which it rly shouldnt since its not a public mp game that needs a server??)

i dont even know what ending i got bc my game crashed during the final cutscene and skipped it all 😭

also there were so many bugs that i dont think other versions of the game have since my roommate and my coworker both said they never got the issues i got. heres a list of some of the bugs i got-

1) i forgot to harden alistair (oops) and so i didnt make him king. i made anora queen. after i made anora queen all alistairs dialogue was him excited/anxious about becoming king.

2) every romance cutscene had graphical corruption and only my wardens model would be moving. so deadass its alistair A posing while the world was fucked and didnt play the animation properly. my camp looked like this most of the time

3) i did morrigans deal so then the wardens wouldnt have to die during the final boss, i beat the final boss, the cutscene right after it everyone is saying alistair died. im so sad. i go and talk to all my other party members and specifically after talking to wynne alistairs model appears and hes totally fine but hes still talking like he was just crowned king (he wasnt)

4) i leave the final cutscene room to get my epilogue and my game hard crashes, no error prompt, and it deleted my save that i had just made in the room so i dont get my ending "this is what u went to do after everything" cutscene

tldr im gonna replay it on my roommates xbox as buffy summers so i can see a non bugged version of the game lmao

Because this has become THAT account:

I am 33 years old and just watched “Beverly Hills Cop” for the first time- I think it broke my brain.

Ok- so I watched Beverly Hills Cop II, and missed some of the beginning. I watched because my dad had it on while I was grabbing dinner, and I got pulled in.

1) How did I not know that was the theme to Beverly Hills Cop? I have heard that all over the internet since its infancy and had no clue. It just goes to show what I always say- a good piece of music will outlive the movie it was written for, and many iconic favorites are made for films.

2) Oof. This movie could NOT be made today. That is an officer of the law consistently breaking the law and skirting morality. The sexism ain’t great either.

That said- he never broke laws to physically hurt people. In fact, the film continually compared his method of talking his way in and out of things with the “bad guys” who shot up rooms full of people when they already had cover stories and could have been in and out with few to no questions asked.

No one put hands on women. They gawked at them, made a few rude comments. Our hero did have a creepy pick up line about shaving long legs. But for the 80s, I recognize that no one put hands on women- not even the bad guys. The heroes also had a female helper who was never sexualized at all and had crucial info. So… you get a “less creepy than you could be” pass 🤷🏻‍♀️

All that said, I really do understand the appeal. I got sucked in after all. Which brings me to 3 & 4.

3) This is going to make the male fans of this movie mad and the female fans giggle.

That was an R rated little boy adventure story along the lines of Goonies. As someone who regularly tries to convince people to enjoy more children’s literature, I am not complaining. I am saying they snuck it in there really well.

The humor was all stuff you would expect a 12-13 yr old to crack, including the sex jokes.

One of the most fun parts of the film was the somewhat quiet nerdy one slowly become more weapon obsessed and getting gleeful over pistols and rocket launchers. The punchline being is the correct personality types to actually read the instructions to be able to USE the rocket launcher when they needed it.

Which brings me to the biggest point here- our main trio is the exact personality profile one would expect in a “kids on bikes” storyline. Which is highlighted in their middle of the night raid on the shooting range. Our main hero- the “cool” one with all the best plans and sneaky skills, in a sports jacket and tennis shoes. Our excited “nerdy” one who just wants to be involved in the “cool guy’s” shenanigans is in a grey hoody. And then, the sarge- the character with money and reputation to lose but has been dragged along for moral reasons, dressed up in a sports coat and snappy polo like the rich kid dressed by his mom. I will add this is the character who is a little tubby and keeps pointing out that they are all going to be “in so much trouble.”

Like- remove the authority as cops and age them down to 13 and it would be the same movie. In the 80s, they would even have let them have guns by the end of film.

Then Murphy sells it with his absolute child like joy at getting away with all this crap.

This film revels in all the little boy dreams of solving the mystery, blowing shit up, getting to see pretty girls, and saving the day. Good for them.

4) Eddie Murphy is playing Bugs Bunny as a Cop.

This is the part that broke my brain.

I’m good with the chaotic “talk your ways past everyone” shenanigans. It was well done, and what sucked me in. Even while acknowledging how problematic it is, you cheer for him. You can’t help it. He has charm.

The fact that he pulled it off without any costume changes was impressive. I would have expected coat changed and fake mustaches. Nope. Just chatter.

It’s the cop part that is messing with me.

The type of character he is playing here is the “chaotic hero.” This is the sort of hero that comes along to break unjust systems and reorder everything by being so out of left field no one can predict them.

This is Robinhood. This is Vishnu. This is Scarlet Pimpernel. This is Zorro.

The pattern here is- these guys are from the position of power, use or reject it in some way, then destroy things as your everyday man or straight up criminal.

If you are talking even more chaotic, we come across Ananzi, Loki, Coyote, and Bugs Bunny. These guys aren’t always good. They are chaotic neutral who occasionally find themselves being heroes in a specific situation- not to do the right thing, but because it is fun to mess with the blow hard bad guy.

Now we come to Axel.

He is conning his friends into dangerous situations, steamrolling his boss at taxpayer expense, and laughing at other’s justified fears. He breaks the law consistently. Is he a bad guy? He backs up his friend who needs help, never takes anything to keep, and seems to make sure to pay back everyone who has been inconvenienced with political praise, favors they really like, or straight up cash. Is he the good guy?

He is NOT Robinhood or Zorro. There is no moral mission. He also does not come from a place of power that he leaves behind. He pulled himself out of a place of poverty to gain the power he needed to pull off this nonsense with impunity.

He is neutral chaos with a streak of loyalty, well wishes, and simplistic gleeful fun. He is, in fact, a cartoon.

In our minds that does not fit in with the authority of the police force. Neither does he.

He flashes his badge around, but often not to be a “cop” but to be “health inspector” or “building manager” or whatever else he needs at the moment.

He is consistently at odds with the chief of police and if he thinks you are terrible at your job he will ruin you, slowly and painfully. The chief in this film dug his own grave one step at a time and you wonder “did he plan it? Was it improved? What just happened?”

Now that I type this out, the closest character I have to this is Jack Sparrow. Again, but necessity of personality, Sparrow is a PIRATE.

The best thing you can say about Axel being a cop is that he seems to be slowly cleaning it out from the inside. The reverse Robinhood- he went up to the power structure to show them a thing or two about how it ought to be done. 😂

They make a point of all the cops who work with him slowly becoming more like him and becoming better at thier jobs, happier in thier lives, and generally better off for having met him. I suppose he works, even in this system of power, because he never FEELS like he is a part of it. He is a force, sweeping through, and sweeping back out.

He is less a chaotic hero, and more a chaos god. Sparrow was similar until they brought him down to earth in movie 4.

Speaking of which- I got all this from exactly one film. There are like what- 3 of these with another on the way? I cannot be the only person who saw this. Tell me someone somewhere did a full deep dive academic analysis on this character as a “trickster god” type. It was done too well.

Also realizing I started this by saying the film couldn’t be made today, and they are going to try. That will be a train wreck. I must go see it. 😈

Good morning Sflow :)

For the ask game I'd love to hear your thoughts about these two, if you feel like answering (no pressure though!):

🍭why did you start writing?

🌿how does creating make you feel?

Thank you. Wishing you a lovely day! <3

Good evening, friend 💛

I saved your ask for last because these are both really deep questions, and I've actually spent a lot of time reflecting on them today, especially the first one. So, exactly the kind I'd expect from you, and they deserve the kind of rambling personal answers you know to expect from me.

I'll put a cut here to make it easier for people to scroll on if they aren't interested, but of course anyone who is interested is welcome to read my answers!

🍭why did you start writing?

I guess the short answer is, as a creative outlet. But there is also a very long answer, as I've started writing several times over the course of my life.

On the first time, I started for my little brother. We played a lot of imagination games when we were kids, and I wanted to expand on those. We had an imaginary world with about two dozen characters but could only play a few of them at the same time, the stories were 'lost' when the game ended, and I had too many ideas anyway. So I started drawing and writing some of them down. This first phase went on from age 9 to 14 or so.

On the second time (overlapping the first), I started for narrative closure. A video game that I was completely obsessed with had a sad ending, so I wrote another. It was fun, so I went on to another story I wanted to continue, characters I wanted to expand on, and so on. I wrote most of these in my English notebook, for which I also got extra credit and feedback from my English teacher.

After a couple of years of just writing in my notebook, I discovered that I was doing a thing called fan fiction, and there were places to put it online. So I started doing that. Eventually, I got an original idea, and I wrote a story of about 50k and even started a sequel. This second phase lasted from age 13 to 19/20.

Then I started at uni. Life got in the way, and my creativity was gone. I never finished the sequel, and even when I eventually got obsessed with a new piece of media and tried to write something for it, I just couldn't get anything coherent down. I eventually took down all my old fics too, thinking that chapter of my life was closed for good. This phase lasted until I watched Young Royals at the age of 33.

On the third time, I started as an outlet for my suddenly reborn creativity - and my still very fragile ace identity. I found the rich world of YR incredibly inspiring and wanted to continue the story (as we didn't even know if there would be an S2). I also really wanted to contribute something to the fandom that was growing around it, but I didn't have the confidence or the ideas to focus on Wilmon.

Well, as luck would have it, there was a veritable blank slate of a minor character who would be perfect for a canon expansion and even gave me a vague ace vibe for some reason. And if I made him asexual, well, figuring out how he felt about various stuff would be a good excuse to work on myself on the side. I wasn't sure if I actually had the guts to make that part of his characterisation visible in the fic, and he'd have to be very different from me as I never liked self-inserts, but yeah. That could be interesting.

I'm still in this third phase, although the self-reflection has taken a backseat now.

🌿how does creating make you feel?

It's hard to describe. One part of it is just plain relief, because it gets to a point where you really just need an outlet for all the creative energy. One part is this huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction over seeing the thing you imagined and planned come together. It was just something you cooked up in your head, and now it's out there, making sense. Or at least being its own aesthetic/artistic entity. Either way, you did it, wow.

And of course one part is the joy of knowing that people enjoyed something you made and/or it touched them. I had sort of forgotten about that while I wasn't writing, and I'm very grateful to have experienced it again.

Thank you again for these wonderful asks!

Ask list for reference.

Ok ok, i want to do a little interview with you as well

How long have you been in the bsd fandom?

Who is your favorite character in bsd?

What other anime do you like/is your favourite?

Quick! Your favourite character ever(name them) is held at gunpoint and you need to sing a song you love word for word or they die. Which song do you choose?

Whats something you would never want to change about yourself, no matter how much time passes?

Answer however you like or dont answer at all, no pressure <3

OH MY - HIT ME IN THE HEAD W THE PERSONAL QUESTIONS SKDKS

alr 😭✌️

I've been in the bsd fandom since...2018/2019 I think. I started with the anime. I remember being so early that at that time, almost all the bsd reviews were negative. I went to reddit, I think I went to my-anime-list too, and other websites and it was full of negative reviews. So I went into bsd with a rather "eh" mindset 😅 but I was bored that time and had nothing else to watch and I saw it on Netflix so yeah 👍

Hihi 🤭🤭🤭🤭 if you stalk me long enough, you may find that my bsd blorbo 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 is non other than Oda Sakunosuke. I love that man to pieces fr 💖 I love the fictional version I made of him in my head even more 🤭

Other anime that I like is Hunter x Hunter. Childhood anime was Sailormoon 💖 and Princess Sara. I was also once obsessed with Cedie the little prince (its an old anime). Besides those, I don't remember much anime that I was rlly invested on. Though I did watch JJK the movie and season 1 ❤️

A song I love? Here's the thing - - I don't really have a favourite song. I have different 'top songs' depending on the genre. 😭 But one song that comes to mind rn is 'I am not a robot' by Marina and the Diamonds

Oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. You saved the best for last I see 👀👀👀👀 uhmmmmm 😭😭😭😭😭 one thing I have that I would never want to change about myself? hmmmmm...errr....wait..

my faith in God ig? (I'm christian and God's played a big role in my life so idw lost that ❤️) Besides that, I would say my 'desire' to keep on improving myself. (like even when I fall to new lows or am actively enjoying self destructive behavior, there's always that little desire that makes me want to stop and get better. I think everyone has this in a way but yeah, Idw lose this thing and submit completely to misery 😄✌️. Like I could *fail* hard on one day and feel awful abt it but after a while, I'll feel like trying again). <<<< this is me regarding my (sort of) unhealthy eating habits lmao 😭

Thank you for the ask!!

since I love oversharing, I will also share random things abt myself

I wish I didn't overthink that much

I wish I was more confident 🤭

^^ Ik I'll be better at these things in the future tho so might look back on this and feel nostalgic 🤭💕❤️

Oh one more random fact:

I'm kinda dense and I didn't even notice someone hated me last yr lol 🤭 oh well. not my problem honestly 💅✨

thanks for the ask again wonxxx ✌️😺

(your bio is so real. I also post stuff with the intention of looking back on it someday) 💐

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[mywillbedone]

I'm probs too late for the chat to distract thing (as of now it was like, posted 2hrs ago) but if you feel like it, here's some rando questions I always like getting, myself! What are your fave... 1. Animals 2. Environments 3. Music Genres 4. Childhood Books 5. Games (video or otherwise) 6. Wildcard Choice! Best of wishes!

Thank u for sending this to me in my time of need, it did indeed come after the danger had passed and I calmed down. But I saved it bc I knew I would need it sometime and here we are 💗

Let's see, for animals

coyotes, black bears, cougars (there is a pattern here lol) but also. i'm really vibing with pygmy anteaters, they look so kind and wise like a tiny friendly wizard

environments: high desert and the rocky mountains 🥰 i feel more at home in the mountains and plains of new mexico and colorado than i ever have anywhere else. something about it is so special to me. also just. anything in true autumn. rainy and golden and crisp

music genres: i hesitate to say metal bc while the metal i do like is probably my Most favorite kind of music, im absurdly picky lmao, i do not as a whole like just anything in the genre. i also love new wave and what i call 'dad rock', stuff your hypothetical 50-60 yr old stoner dad would listen to. classics ranging like. fleetwood mac, tom petty, deep purple, grateful dead, led zeppelin, but also harder stuff like zz top, sammy hagar, black sabbath

childhood books: gonna be honest with you, my memory is real bad especially regarding my childhood and i read a LOT back then so i probably don't even remember my favorites. i did read watership down quite young, and that's a big fav. i really enjoyed the first two series of warrior cats, but i do not care for them now (but i can still get riled up about these ridiculous fictional cats lmao). a couple i remember reading and really liked that i don't remember well now was the dark portal series and the egypt game. i remember the dark portal books being pretty intense horror for a children's series, which i liked. i also enjoyed what i read of the redwall books, mossflower was my favorite and i have a lovely illustrated edition of it 😍

games:

i am. so so bad at video games, i am only good at 2 dimensional button masher type fighting games, but i kick ass at those lol. dead or alive was my series of choice. also a big fan of silent hill 2

but board games, oh man. i Love board games. extremely partial to clue bc it plays to my strengths, especially my IT (2017) special version. survive is one of my all time favs too. CAH is always a winner. i can usually be suckered into playing life or scrabble, and the 2001 or older editions of blokus are good too. recently tried a more basic version of the game evolution, and im really excited to get the full version and play it someday. just never monopoly, fuck that game.

wildcard:

uhmmmm how about current favorite snacks? im very into peanut butter cups atm, and fancy cheese with crackers. also those churro kitkats....they dont taste like churro i think but theyre divine

[caruliaa]

🎵 for imector my beloved heteros <3🥺

SCREAMING no bc like. basically for reasons i dont have the time to get into now i lost my old spotify account from when i was really into coco and had a playlist for them BUT i was still able to find the playlist again becuase you know scratch? (if you dont its a website with the tools to code (pretty simple in most cases) projects and share them online, often used by schools to teach basic code in ict classes) basically 13 yr old me had downloaded the songs on that playlist using a youtube to mp3 convertor and made a private scratch project that just played the songs in order so i could listen to the playlist on the school computers because spotify and most other music playing sites were blocked on them but they couldnt block scratch because it was used in our ict lessons and a few months ago i remembered it and with some guessing for my old password got back into my scratch account and saved the songs on it as a playlist on my spotify

anyway that was a longwinded explanation DFHFGH sorry your question just reminded me of something, for sitting through it i will give you three songs from that playlist: Just Give Me A Reason by p!nk, Hey There Delilah by the plain white tees, and tightrope from the stupid ass showman (<- thats not what its called but im going to keep calling that movie by the wrong name from now on bc its funny)

[puchiponn]

Genshin impact driving headcanons

I'm in a car rn and It got me thinking, what if I made genshin driving hcs?? I haven't seen one b4,, so,,

Charas include; childe, zhongli, kaeya, ayato, thoma, jean, paimon, ei, timmie

Comment who I should do next!

Childe

THIS MAN WOULD DEFO TREAT IT LIKE BUMPER CARS ISTG,,

HE'D GET INTO SUDDEN RACES W STRANGERS

AND ALL THE MECHANICS IN THE CITY KNOW HIS NAME.

He CAN drive properly, but he wants to scare you. Not to mention he DOES have the money.

He's in line to be the next archon of speeding tickets.

Zhongli

He doesn't drive. Childe doubles as his personal chauffeur.

This man travels w ✨STYLE✨

But not his wallet

He never gives childe gas money.

Though if he had to drive, he'd defo crash the car.

All these buttons r too high-tech for this 6000+ yr old boomer

But don't worry! The car is fine thanks to his geo shield!

Kaeya

This man would be very picky w cars. He only drives sexy cars.

Definitely drunk drives.

The type to pick ppl up by readjusting his dark sunglasses and saying "hey bbgorl r u lost?" W the most shit eating grin you've ever seen.

Prolly has a body or two in the car trunk but it doesn't matter.

When he's not drunk he's pretty law abiding when driving. Kinda. But only because of Jean.

Plays WAP on loop in his car. Especially when a sister from the church decides to hitch a ride.

Ayato

He drives properly. He drives well. A bit too well considering he rarely drives.

Except when thoma is in the car. He becomes childe 2.0

He will stop by EVERY Boba place. And nothing can stop him.

Wdym that's too much boba?? Have you seen the never-ending supply of armpit Boba he has??

Ayato is a law abiding responsible driver for the most part. He IS the head of the yashiro commission after all.

Thoma

He takes the wheel whenever ayato is having too much fun. We can't let him crash the 69th car this month.

He has a mini heart attack everytime ayato sits in the driver's seat.

Thoma drives the kamisato siblings everywhere.

It's his duty as their servant! Defo not bc he doubts his masters or anything! OKAY. MAYBE HE'S A LITTLE WORRIED ABT THEM.

Long drives w thoma would be rly relaxing. There will be a comfortable silence and occasional small talk between you two. Unfortunately, his gentle voice quickly lulls you to sleep, so you can't admire his side profile and jawline for too long.

Jean

Like thoma, she is responsible.

THIS WOMAN IS A RESPONSIBLE, RELIABLE, GOOD AT DRIVING, WON'T CAUSE YOU ANY CONCUSSIONS IN AN ACCIDENT BC SHE WONT GET INTO ONE, OVERALL SUPER DOORMAT LIKE driver.

She doesn't drunk drive.

She doesn't get speeding tickets.

She stops at red lights.

She doesn't get into rando races.

She is a v good driver.

If you want to live another day, have Jean drive you. It's the safest bet and will defo save you from 2 hrs of wap/cocomelon on loop. Unless kaeya and Klee decided it'd be a funny joke.

Paimon

Paimon is physically too small to drive. The only car she can drive is this one

The cart will be loaded w snacks and traveller has to push.

It's alright traveller! Paimon isn't heavy!

Paimon floats even in the mini car :D

Ei

She can't drive. Yae miko and Sara drive her.

She doesn't even know how to start a car.

She's great at charging electric ones though! When you tell her it's an electric car, she tries to control it with her powers, but then only realizes that she completely destroyed the car after a very loud "BOOM"

She'll then nervously ask how much it costed... can she borrow a loan from the 3 commissions first?? That's a lot of money! Sorry traveller!!

She was revoked of driving privileges. Use the teleport waypoints!!

Even the fish can drive better than you!!

But it's a part of your charm! We love you ei!

Timmie

Underage.

But if he had a car, it's a communal pigeon toilet!

It's not a car, it's a fucking truck full of pigeons n pigeon shit. You'd mistake it for a cement truck.

From Timmie's car, squawking is heard daily. Apparently ganyu, Sara and venti killing his birds daily gave him a corruption arc n he started imprisoning his pigeons in a car !??

[lloverz]

Everyone is afraid to love. Wait, let me rephrase that.

Everyone is afraid of getting hurt when they’re vulnerable.

it sucks doesn’t it? when you love someone so much just to find out they didn’t love you as much as you love them, because if they did then they wouldn’t have done those things that tore you apart so easily.

Let’s zoom out a bit, okay? Don’t get too emotional just yet.

If we take a serious, long look at what our pain has taught us from loving so hard, you will see that the abundant amount of lessons learned is worth going through. Personally, I’d rather take note of every single lesson I learn while young, because I don’t want to spend a lifetime ignoring them just to have to keep relearning them.

I just got out of a 4 year relationship. we were high school sweethearts and 3 years after dating, we had a baby. I was very gullible in the first few years of dating this boy. I’m very beautiful, popular, have a lot of people talking about me. I was so confident in myself. If I stood by another woman, I would’nt question my own beauty. The boy I dated, let’s call him “tf”, was a couple years older than me and had graduated a year before me. We live in a pretty small city, so there’s only 3 high schools to choose from. Here’s a list of a few things TF did while in a relationship with me BEFORE our baby:

-cheated multiple times and manipulated/lied/gaslit me by using violence and aggression ( when I was 18 )

-always had porn on his socials (instagram , twitter, etc) so I would state that it made me uncomfortable (the girls looked way bigger and curvier than me, I’m petite) but he would say things like “it’s just a big ass 😂”. I let him borrow my tablet one time and when I tried to get it back, he hid it from me and kept yelling in my face saying “YOU’RE FUCKIN INSECURE” *didn’t give back tablet EVER*

- after someone sent me screenshots of him trying to fuck in another city, he manipulated/gaslit/lied. I tried to break up with him and he broke my car window. There was blood and broken glass everywhere, so he immediately played victim and was begging for me to take him to the hospital. Blamed it on me. “you made me do it”

- even though I never showed any signs of cheating or talking to multiple people, he would constantly tell me about how I’m a “liar”. I didn’t have enough experience back then to know that is a clear sign of a cheater.

- He was always talking to multipple girls but when i said something about it, he would get aggressive and defensive. making up lies with such aggression to force me to just back down.

- by this time, I had started an eating disorder. I was depressed and didn’t want to eat.

so even though those things are pretty fucking horrible and traumatizing for an 18-19 yr old to go through, let’s talk about the things he did while I was pregnant.

- first week we found out I was pregnant we were living in a hotel. We both had jobs but rent weekly was super fuckin high just for a studio. There was a tiny kitchen with no oven and a bathroom next to it. a bed in the room and that’s it. The first week I found out I was pregnant, I suspected him of shit because he was super distant. I went through his phone and saw he was looking up his ex from 4 years ago.

- He argued w me about it, told me he would “happily pay for an abortion”, so I had a breakdown in the bathroom saying “you did this to me, I don’t want to get rid of my baby” so after 10 mins he felt bad and without showing any emotion he just said it’s up to me but he’ll be present if i choose to keep it

- We argued a lot the first week. I had no friends since he pushed them all away from me. So I went to a mountain, sat on a big rock, and just cried for an hour. I was so scared because I didn’t know how to tell my family and based off of how he was acting, I knew I was most likley going to end up a single mom. for a 20 yr old, that was an extremely stressful situation.

- moving on, we finally saved enough to get an apartment. We moved in and I wanted to feel whole, but something just wasn’t right. I was working from home at the time, by then i was 3 months pregnant. He also had a job, but got fired. I could barely afford rent on my own. He would sit on his ass and play video games all day instead of going out looking for a job. I tried not to stress about it, tried to convince myself that he was just in a bad state of mind and needed a boost. I needed him to have a job, so I made his resume and applied to places for him. He got his “dream job” at a dispensary because of my help.

- he was very distant from the beginning so it wasn’t much of a difference. later i found out that he was “hanging out” and talking to females while I was working my pregnant ass off.

- eventually my inutition and dreams told on him, my body filled with anxiety around him. so I decided enough was enough and I needed to move out before the lease has to get renewed. I broke up with him, packed my things, and told him he had to leave too (duh, the apt was in MY name and he’s careless).

- he didn’t help me pack my shit or carry things downstairs into the car. By this time, the baby was born so his excuse was that he was watching the baby even though he could’ve had the baby on him while helping my postpartum ass.

- i forgot to mention that when I gave birth, they fucked up my epidural so I was in bed for the first week with an epidural migraine. I was in so much pain and worried because the dr said i was leaking spinal fluid into my head. The first week he invited his whole family over and told me it would only be 2 people. I was stressed because of COVID, my headache came back. I wen to the room and told him to tell them to leave, he did. when they left he argued with me and got mad at me saying “why are you acting like that??” as if he didn’t know what i was going through. i ended up apologizing just to keep the peace.

- I would only ever ask for help when i was extremely exhausted, and when i asked for help he would constantly ask me why i couldnt just do it myself.

after we broke up, he put on a very specular show crying about how he wanted his family back. he would tell me that we didn’t have a family because of me. he let his anger out on me by going through my phone when i would let him visit the baby and add my friends on his socials. he talked mad shit saying iw asn’t letting him see the baby. eventually no one wanted to be involved so all my friends left me to suffer with postpartum depression and a horrible partner. eventually he pushed me to a point where I felt like I was always going to struggle and be alone. He wouldn’t give me money to support the baby even though I was the only one taking care of him and he always had excuses. There were times when i had to beg him to see him for more than an hour a week. I was living with my nana at the time (my tata passed when i was pregnant and he still did all of this), and i had no money. my baby was teething and i cried because i couldn’t afford $3 teething medicine. My gas gauge was also fucked up so I couldn’t go anywhere without worrying about gas, especially with no money. eventually i just couldn’t handle my situation, and I took my son to the babysitter. I told her I was going to be gone for a while to take care of him. she agreed and understood. that night, i walked myself into the ER and told them i ahd suicidal thoughts. it was the darkest day of my life.

that night, i slept at the hospital. i got woken up at 2-3 in the morning to speak with a crisis counselor. she told me that due to the severity of my condition, the best option was to take me to a psych hospital to get treatment. i agreed. my parents had no idea this was happening, so i called them and told them where i was at and where i was going. my dad immediately came to the hospital to visit me. he was grieving as well from my tata (his dad) so there wasn’t much for us to talk about. we could just havea short convo about how we’ll get through it and everything is okay.

the next day i was taken to phoenix, az to a hospital in an ambulance. i was strapped down and the lady next to me was telling me about how i’m going to be okay and she was in the exact same position as me with postpartum depression when she had her kids. it made me feel a little better but i couldn’t get over the fact that i was strapped down.

i arrived at the hospital how i came, strapped. they wheeled me into the psych area and everyone looked at the new girl. a female staff member looked at me when taking my picture and said “wow, you’re so pretty”. thank you beautiful black woman.

i spent a week there. i talked to psychiatrists and told them I had ppd. they diagnosed me with 4-5 mental health disorders and put me on antipsychotics. i tried a total of 6 meds in one week. they made me feel dizzy, weak, cloudy asf (zoning in and out), i saw lines on the bathroom floor that weren’t there, and i could barely walk to get breakfast in the morning. I didn’t have a choice but to take their meds because they wouldn’t release me until they made me “think right”, or not at all. i was getting visitations from my ex. my i showed him paperwork of symptoms ( i really do have mental disorders such as bipolar, etc and even though that’s not what i was there for, it helped to have a professional tell me im not crazy just bipolar and bpd). after that, i told him to leave because he was the reason i went to the ER that night ( recently found out he was fucking around w females before and after that week yet he wanted to say he really cared and was really concerned ).

when i was finally released, i took my meds for a month then stopped. they were making me too tired to do anything. a couple months later he messaged me about how he missed his family, so i took him back. i thought that after everything i went through and if he really wanted his family, we should be alright. everything i stated above that he did previously, he kept up. sending pics of my baby to other females from when we were broken up talking about how he missed them and wanted to move in w them. keep in mind, i NEVER cheated or even talked to another guy like that since high school, the very beginning.

just recently in March was a birthday party that i set up and decorated, invited everyone to but no one showed up. while opening presents, he was acting weird with his phone. I asked to take pictures on it and he tried hiding it from me. i looked at the notifications and he was messaging a girl right then and there asking her to go to the strip club with him, talking about “sharing” me! this happened 2 WEEKS AFTER I HAD AN ABORTION OF HIS BABY (baby #2). i was suffering the loss of my second child and from the pain i experienced having rods inside me, seeing a friend i made in the clinic cry her heart out, etc. after he got caught, he told me the messages were “old” and “she just so happened to reply that day”, “you thought i trusted you? lol”, “this is all your fault you dont have to be like this but you CHOOSE to and it’s your fault we don’t have a family”, etc. i can’t remember the rest because those words alone were the most hurtful words i’ve heard in my life.

moving on to recently, i broke up with him. he kept acting like it didnt happen even though i broke up w him due to domestic violence. i figured the only way i can get him to understand is by doing what he’s always done to me and what i didn’t want to do. i slept with someone else and allowed myself to get caught. more domestic violence heppened, and he kept calling me a cheater even though i kept telling him we broke up a while ago. now we are living in different households and so far we are coparenting well. this is current, 4 years after being together. I’m filled with peace and optimism. my confidence went up because i no longer have to deal w my partner looking at naked girls on social media while im in the same room.

im 21 currently and after this breakup i thought i couldn’t trust anyone anymore. these past few days i’ve been processing everything. I’m processing the abuse i survived for years. mental, phsyical, and verbal abuse is the reason why i couldn’t leave no matter how many times i tried. i forgive my old self because she didn’t have enough experience to know how to deal with those situations. she thought she was forever stuck. i’m proud of how much shes improved. it takes serious strength to go through all of that the past 4 years and to come out stronger, better, smarter.

I want to share my story with the girls out there stuck in repetitive cycles. I made a post previously of lessons I learned while being with him and I can continue that list in another post if you’d like. I’m sharing my story to let you know the real deal. the nitty-gritty of this situation. I left out a few things that I had to go through as well because it was outside of this relationship, but there isn’t a single thing I would take back or change if i could. I’d rather come out as a strong 21 yr old already knowing the things i know now than to be ignorant of my situation and waste years of my life being abused by someone i love so much. I still love him of course, but i know that to be with him is the same thing as self-sabotage and I’m not willing to put my health at risk again. btw, your health SHOULD NEVER be at risk when you’re in a relationship point blank PERIOD!! they should be there for you when you’re grieving instead of cheating & abusing your state of mind. that was a little too specific and obvious but you get the point.

so to all the young ladies out there, i have a few tips from my experiences. if you never want to experience something similar, please pay attention.

- you don’t have to settle for anyone you don’t want to settle for and you don’t need a reason either. this is YOUR life and it’s important that you recognize that whatever you’re going through is a result of your choices.

- when someone lies for no reason, that;s enough of a reason to leave. they don’t care how their lies effect you and if they lie about small shit/for no reason how do you know your whole relationship/friendship isn’t a lie?? these are the type of people that’ll talk shit about you to your enemies, i learned from him.

- if someone undertsands how specific people have horribly affected you and they continue to speak with them on a daily basis, take that as they chose those people over you.

- if someone doesn’t respect your boundaries you need to leave bc that is also a form of abuse. they walk all over you and end up controlling you slowly but surely

- if they bring up traumatic experiences from your life in a malicious way, that’s abuse so leave

- if they constantly trigger you, that’s abuse so leave

- always choose other peoples sides over you even when others are wrong, theyd choose to backup anyone but you. that aint a real one thats a fake

- if it’s hard for them to understand how much pain they put you through, leave bc it’ll only get worse and they don’t care until it’s them

- if they know you love language but refuse to tend to it because its “pointless” to them, they dont actually love you

- pay attention to what they say when they’re mad. they’ll tell you how they really feel about you. anger doesn’t lie, liars do.

- if you have emntal health issues and they keep doing their own thing at the expense of your mental health, understand that they truly do NOT care about you.

- someone who doesn’t see the wrong or severity in THEIR actions but always sees the bad in everything YOU do is a narcissist (please do your research on this topic)

- if they spend more money on weed than necessities, they’ll lead a clear path of addiction for you

- if they are okay with putting their hands on you saying “you made me do it” or “i did it for a reason”, they don’t see anything wrong with physically abusing you

- a push eventually leads to headbutts and getting thrown on the floor. i left before headbutts turned into slaps and punches

- if they tell you someone else will end up beating you, they want to do it themselves and will eventually. it’s best to leave ASAP and never look back

- if they know you need money but refuse to give it to you, they’re making you dependent on them and it IS a form of abuse too

- if they know you need basic things like clothes but spend money on themselves instead (weed, etc), they do NOT care about you

I’m truly sorry for all of the women and young ladies, even kids who have to go through the tortures of a man. It seems as though men have been conditioned to be selfish for so long that it’s in their DNA. Personly I have had bad experiences with every single man in my life EXCEPT for my tata who passed in January of 2021. He was truly the most genuine man in my life, always took care of me and talked to me about the most important things in life. I would take naps when i was little and wake up to him waiting for me to wake up, smiling and adoring my little face. When he left, I lost the most important person in my lifeat the time. Now my main focus is teaching my son to be just like him, because I have never had such a lifetime of positive experiences with any other protective figure in my life. It’s important to understand that as a woman who’s fully capable of being independent, YOU are the catch because for someone to walk into YOUR life is a PRIVILEGE.

I love you all. domestic violence happens all too often. My sisters have been through it and i watched them fall apart, then rebuild their lives in their 30s. My aunt has died from domestic violence, my mom has experienced it, etc. we must stick together, defend each other, teach each other, and help each other. A long journey of helping your loved ones through these situations is better than losing them forever. protect these girls and women, stand together, recognize that you just as capable as a man, and you’re the boss in your life. hire and fire people accordingly. to be a woman is a beautiful thing. we can go through hell and come out stronger, prettier, more confident, and independent.

if you are currently going through a similar situation, i see you. i feel you. i WAS you. i know how hard it is to leave, and even though you want to, i know you have to strategically plan that shit out. dont worry, talk to the Universe, cry, and make the choices that right for YOU. you will survive, you will come out stronger, and you are loved, extremely loved. you’ll get out of it soon, just promise yourself to hang in there until your victory day comes.

affirmations for the survivor:

i am safe. i am divinely protected. i am loved. i am whole. i love myself. i am beautiful. i am sexy. i am captivating. i am confident. i trust myself.

affirmations for the person going through it rn:

i am who i say i am. i prove everything to myself, i dont need external validation. i am wonderful. i am loved. i am taken care of by the Universe. i am strong. i will get through anything i set my mind to.

stay safe, look out for each other 🫶✌️

Thank you for your response <3

I also imagine them as switches, though I do lean to Kaohika more… it’s just that, when you see fanfictions and fanarts of them, in my case I was almost horrified— at the way people take the uke thing way too far (it’s just an act, and like you mentioned, even if Kao likes to be doted on, he doesn’t have to be ukefied to be like that) and the way he’s feminized just make me want to show that he can also take the lead/be in charge (even if mostly in private) like in ep. 15 ;; They also confirmed it themselves in the first volume, that while it seems that Hika takes the lead, it’s the more mature Kao that drives the action/is the same (depends on the translation), and it may sound personal, but I hate it when he’s made all feminine— like with his Cinderella metaphor (and Hika and Kao always cross dress together), or the fact he ACTS as the uke, and that was only by chance— because when they initially joined the host club, Kao accidentally burnt his finger for real, and Hika was holding him, genuinely concerned— and then they realized that the girls love it so that’s how the act started in the first place.

oh, yea i remember back when id read a bunch of fics of them after my anime rewatch a few yrs back i was like oh thats.. hm,, ;;; cuz id found a few where kaoru was a bit Too uwu uke iirc tho quite a few of them were p old & from when that was the Norm so i just accepted that some fics were products of the times &/or written by younger fans, as lets face it ouran was & still probably is 1 of the entry level animes. i actually dont consume all that much content of them tho (i only read fics Occasionally [this goes for all fandoms] & theres not much art for them in the eng sphere & i dont follow/kno any jp ouran accs on twitter or use pixiv) so that combined w my bad memory of what i Hav seen means im a bit Unknowing of most fanon for them.. lmao... i figured most of the stuff like that was mostly left behind as of a few yrs ago but perhaps not..?

I can't speak much for the feminizing thing bc I can't recall too many fanworks ive read where that was an issue iirc? tho tbf I can't remember much of what I've read at all bc tht was Yrs ago rip sry ;; I Do think they should be portrayed crossdressing Together more often! it'd be cute; let hikaru be in a cute dress too (I may be biased on everything tho I'm a femboy liker thru & thru lol so I'm like more boys in dresses?? Epic im in lol) softer=fem clothes? False- in this house it doesn't matter the boy type; Get In The Dress lol.

but yeah that doesn't mean he's constantly like that... a princess roleplay or 2 or letting hikaru take care of him, maybe, not unlike ppl w rp aspects to their relationships (like how brats aren't brats Always! time & place, etc etc. someone choosing to be bratty in private doesnt mean theyre gonna act like that 24/7) but it's a little sad if people reduce him to his act all the time...

I don't think I mind ppl playing w the princess thing tho considering it Is a part of his chara, but the whole thing was supposed to focus more on the magic of an illusion shattering eventually & losing what he has not quite a princess & prince... ;; but he Was almost/p much comparing himself to a princess' story & when the magic breaks & he's metaphorically left in his simple flats & princeless instead of the lavish life he had at "the ball" [cinderella metaphor. there is no ball, im aware] so it can't be helped if ppl like the princess association i guess.. give ppl an inch & theyll go a mile, & all that. & honestly w hikaru "saving" [ep 15]/"finding" [ep 21] kaoru twice in canon, it doesn't surprise me if they imagine hikaru as his prince & kaoru the princess since while the metaphor was more abt the whole host club not jus hikaru, hikaru was also a big part of it, as the eps focusing on it display his longing looks at his brother & such, w a fesr of losing Him the most. so long as ppl don't Reduce him to his feminine metaphor 100%, i guess. tis only a small part after all, not a loadbearing one. the angst is more the important bit lmao give him a masc cinderella outfit, even. (altho... the allure of a bishie in a dress... Very Enticing to most I'm afraid)

him always having to be the uke role thing in their host act is kind of out of the fans control bc that's canon... if he's content w his act of being that way, then power to him I guess! he himself might also like that in public he's all uwu kyaaa hikaru <3 while at home it's Hikaru who's nuzzling into his throat. a smug sort of feeling, ya know? that only he gets to see hikaru like that, not everyone else.

WAIT actually as I was typing this I remembered some scene from thee movie shoot ep [ep 4, apparently] where they mentioned 1 of them being the receiver or w/e (bc sports) & it was apparently hikaru annoyedly asking why kaorus the seme in the script w their changed charas (hikaru being all "KAORUU OAO" & kaoru gently reassuring him, which is like their actual dynamic instead) w kaoru replying in a similar manner going "yeah >:T"

which implies either he Likes/is fine w his uke role or at least doesn't think the fangirls would like them switching up & wants the status quo to stay the same just in case. I think if he did mind he wouldntve said anything? or even suggested to hikaru that switching up provides something fresh & "it's still doki doki twincest, hikaru~ these girls have a refined taste; they might just take a liking to gap moe ^^"

but those r the 2 charas theyve allowed to be chosen for themselves, in a way, & theyre like yea this is alright. rhey prov have an "if it aint broke dont fix it" mentality & since the girls expect the typical, they see nonreason to deviate. the twins are capable of speaking out- theyd prob speak up if they minded. also, kaoru might kno that hikaru might not want to be seen as vulnerable [ep 16 comes to mind tho that had more to do w circumstances going on at the time] so kaoru takes that upon himself & bears that burden upon his perceived character [as in the way one is seen, not his host club persona] so hikaru won't mind as much? idk im going off on a tangent I feel but I think the thing w "kaoru Having to be the public uke" isn't all that bad since he himself seems fine w playing around w that character. maybe one day they'll switch it up for fun. (not Literally, as technically they could have hikaru play as kaoru but it would still be seen as "kaoru", but I mean For Reals have hikaru as the uke)

in conclusion... to the fandom: pls accept soft dom kaoru into ur hearts & rewatch the twins' eps w fresh eyes I guess. love, @/hitachiincest & @/zyrellla (ghsnkmj lolol)
