#i just desperately wanted to make this gifset and have it on this blog

[fandomfluffandfuck]

sliding into your asks once again to bring you this gifset and the thoughts i had as a result:

i'm thinking ransom drysdale x reader where the reader pegs the shit out of him. like, he’s just whining and whimpering and drooling. he cums so hard bc the strap is so big and he 'can’t take it' but he wants ‘more, please’ and ends up going limp in her arms bc of how good it feels. he might even pass out a little and later wakes up to her stroking his dick with her warm hands.

and he’s like ‘oh my god, i cant cum anymore, stop’ and she just sits on his dick with a smile and starts using his cock like a toy, saying ‘you’re not being a very good boy right now, hugh’ and shoves her fingers in his mouth. 'you can't tell me to stop. have you forgotten who's in charge here?'

she says ‘if you let me use your cock i’ll let you cum’ and ransom, thinking with his dick which is throbbing quite painfully inside her, shakes his head vehemently.

‘oh? so you don’t want to cum?” he says no bc at the time he's feeling really sensitive and so fucking naked and like he's a live wire - so she simply tells him, ‘okay.’ and takes her fingers out of his mouth so she can lean down to lick the drool from his parted lips and jaw.

‘but if you cum without my permission im locking your dick in a cage and you won’t be able to so much as get hard until i decide you can. is that clear, baby?”

ransom shakes his head again, ‘fuck- no! I want to cum, i don't think i can hold it, it was hurting but now it hurts good! Please, please don't put the cage on me, please keep fucking me it feels amazing-’ 

‘ah, ah- weren’t you the one who said you didn't want to come?’ and she keeps fucking him and her hips move in a way he’s utterly obsessed with and she cums on his dick without even looking at him, using him for his cock only, taking her pleasure and leaving ransom to sob and beg and whine and cry under her because it hurts so bad - ‘please, you’re so beautiful, please let me cum, please, i need it so bad, you cant- you cant, i’ve been so good!’ - but she ignores him, letting her orgasm wash through her and made more intense by the way ransom twitches desperately inside her as her pussy grows wet with cum.

The sounds are obscene but they’re done now, and the reader curls up on top of ransoms chest, feeling it heave underneath her and the way he tenses up as her pussy drags against his cock and tightens up. She’s got him on the edge and she doesn’t even know, too caught up in how good and sated she feels from her orgasm. ‘You were so good, baby’ she says, and kisses his mouth filthily whilst rolling her hips subconsciously, ‘such a good boy’ as her lips trail down his neck because he’s so pretty, down to his flushed chest and biting at his nipples. A flood of something warm spreads inside her and she realises, with a wicked gleam in her eye, that ransom just came.

‘did you just cum?’ she asks, and he blinks hard, grunting underneath her and nodding desperately. ‘i'm sorry, i'm sorry, please don’t put the cage on me - i didn’t mean to! I swear, you just- you were kissing me like that and moving your hips and it just felt so good, i couldn’t help it!’

she’s not one to go back on her word, though, and after a few minutes of shushing and letting her boy calm down, she’s getting up and cleaning them up with some wipes and a cloth, pulling on a big shirt and kneeling beside ransoms quivering body.

‘here we go…’ she puts on the cage and locks it, putting the key in its box and tossing it on the floor next to the bed. ‘Sleep well, baby’ she says, tucking ransom close to her chest and spooning him until they fall asleep.

-

if i had time i'd make this a full fledged fic but i do not :(, so i decided to share my thoughts with you and your blog instead so you can tell me what you think! 🫶

Uhhhhhh

No thoughts.

Congrats, you've scrambled my brain 😮‍💨😮‍💨🥴

I am imagining the fucking mess that Ransom would be vividly and you--

Just

You added ✨️women✨️ which means that these thoughts are too much. No processing. Only an italicized oh.

The pure filth that is Ransom crying and begging for her to stop because her cock is too big inside him, stretching him so much that it aches, yet... at the same time, Ransom absolutely doesn't want it to stop.

There's no way in hell he's going to use his safeword.

No, he wants more. He's rich, spoiled, and greedy. He needs this. He needs more. He's a fucking size queen. He will cry and squirm and moan until he's unraveling and need more. He will beg for mercy without meaning it. Well, he does want mercy, she might murder him like this, if she keeps going, but he wouldn't dream of stopping.

"Mor', mmm, ah, mmngh! M-more. Please! More!" I can hear his pathetic moaning from here.

The fact that he cums again from kissing and that little bit of praise is spot 👏🏻 fucking 👏🏻 on 👏🏻 . And you know she was kissing him. He's wrecked. There is not a single thought bouncing around in his melted brain. So, there's no way in hell he's putting himself together enough to kiss back.

No.

He's getting off on the way that her tight, unbearably wet pussy is clenching around him, claiming his cock for herself, and the way she's claiming his mouth. She's kissing him, bruisingly so. Grabbing his chin and keeping them mouth to mouth, even as Ransom pants and gasps and moans into her mouth. Even when she stops possessively taking his mouth and instead slowly draaaggs her hand down his flushed throat toward his hard, peaked nipples. He's fucking getting off on it. On her staking her claim. Him. Staking her claim on him.

Just a flick of his hard nipple, and Ransom is jolting with a choked, "a-ah!"

It's over for him the second her lush mouth is on his skin. Grazing his nipple with her teeth and chasing the sweet flare of pain with pure pleasure, her tongue hot and wet and good against his tits.

Oh, God.

How's he not supposed to cum? Especially when she, under her breath, almost to herself, murmurs, her voice all husky and sensual, "there's my good boy. Pretty boy. Look at you."

Ransom throbs.

He cries.

He cums.

JesusfuckingChrist.

It's so good he feels it in his teeth.

But, yeah, the moment it's over--she doesn't even have to ruin his orgasm--he's upset. He didn't mean to! He's just--

He didn't--

He didn't think! He couldn't think! He just, just had to! He's sorry! He's wailing a little, he knows he is, but he's upset. And he can't help himself. She can, though, she can calm him down and get him comfortable enough to accept that, yeah, he needs this. He needs his punishment. It centers him. It's what makes this work. Get the cage.

In conclusion:

Yes.

I fucking love this idea. Thank you for sharing! I will be coming back to this later and picturing Ransom being tamed by a domme again. Soon.

Has anyone seen Jamie Muscato's JD in the Heathers musical?! Ohmyfuck???? The sheer detail and thought he put into his characterisation of JD is incredible (also his voice!!!!!). He very portrays JD very convincingly as an abused character (like he flinches whenever Veronica touches him and he shrinks into himself when his father is around for eg). And of course his unhinged moments are incredible, as well as his awkward and goofy moments. Hes turned jd into this multifaceted person who has a history and a psyche, which is the mark of a very skilled actor. Oh, and he doesn't ease up on JD's toxicity either. He goes all out in his villainy, oppressing veronica with menacing body language and getting right up into her face whenever he loses control. I'm definitely doing a gifset today (purely self indulgent but look it's also kinda whumpy so..)

The way I see the Villain x Hero dynamic is that it's literally Everything. As in, their relationship is Everything.

It's all-encompassing. All consuming. The way they perceive each other isn't the same as they do their allies or minor nemeses. Allies make them feel safe, neutral, and calm. Minor nemeses are just obstacles they just overcome to reach their goal. Their Mortal Enemy on the other hand, they are the goal. They drive them to the edges of sanity, to the edges of humanity, to the edges of themselves.

Hatred is obsessive, dangerous, maddening. Its the other side of the coin to love, but sometimes even love doesn't come close to the intensity that hatred brings. Other times, it's the same thing.

Mortal Enemies have a relationship where there is triumph and trauma that only they are privy to. They know just how the other feels, because they are both invested in the destruction or salvation of the other. They experience the same thing, only from opposing sides of the glass. This is the bond that not even lovers share.

And they are the Reason for each other. The Reason they train so hard. The Reason they suffer and bleed. The Reason they become the person that they are. The Reason that gives them a sense of purpose, the very thing that fills every waking thought and every dream. This person, their Reason, shapes and moulds their very being, which is an incredibly powerful influence to have over someone.

And we know this, we see this, when they finally defeat each other. They lose all sense of self. Their loss is insurmountable. They grieve, because when they destroy their Mortal Enemy, they destroy their Reason, and in turn they destroy themselves.

A hero without a villain is just a good samaritan. A villain without a hero is just a wayward outcast. They need each other to live, to be the biggest self they can be.

In a way, it's like nothing else exists but that person. And it's so desperate and painful and everything that's human concentrated to its purest form.

So yah. Villain x Hero dynamic. I like it alot.

Whumpee who is actually a conditioned cold-blooded villain and a dangerous obedient weapon, discarded like a broken toy, so they live the rest of their lonesome life in agony and delirium. And Caretaker, who actually wants to survive the encounter with “Whumpee”, but also desperately trying to help and save them 🥺🥺🥺

Ahhh yesyesyesyes so much yes that i actually wrote a thing?????? What the--

Erm and it's awkwardly written and has too much lore but i wrote a thing and I'm very happy that I wrote AT ALL so yay! Thank you for your amazing prompt!! And sorry I didn't respond until now ;u; <;3

Also - I knoooow Kasin is like, caring for someone who literally tried to kill him one second ago, but he's a himbo and a Good Boy (tm) and has no idea if Mercy is legit dying or what sooooooo V_V

CW: Mentions of murder/hanging, PTSD/flashbacks, panic attack, dissociation, scarring, mentions of torture, self harm, knife wounds, dehydration.

“You picked a helluva time to sign up, mulch,” is the first thing Senior Officer Tophel says when they meet. 

“How do you figure?” Kasin grins, taking the proffered sword and admiring the Blue Guards’ sigil in the glinting silver hilt. 

The older man glances over his new recruit’s perfectly pressed uniform and gives a begrudging nod of approval. “Mercy’s coming to Everlost.”

“Mercy?”

“Ain’t you ever heard of Mercy? The Emperor’s Arbiter and Royal Steward. Apparently he got himself exiled. Though for what, I ain’t privy to. All I know is he’s coming here.” Tophel huffs and shakes his head, fingers twisting the ends of his walrus moustache. “Fact that his head’s not on a pike is no small wonder.”

Kasin twists his mouth to the side as he sheathes his new sword. “What did this Mercy do, to warrant such a gruesome end?”

Tophel sweeps up the loose papers on his desk into a neat pile, his expression one of sheer disdain. “No-one visited by Mercy is left intact. That’s all you have to know. Just keep out of his way and if you can’t - aim to kill, because there won’t be anything left by the time he’s done with you.”

The younger man frowns, uncertain how much one civilian can do against an armed guard. Then again, bluebloods in the Imperial City are known to be well versed in combat, having the best training from a young age. Maybe Kasin should err on the side of caution. Just this once. 

“I assume you’re telling me about this man for a reason,” Kasin says, raising a brow. 

“Looks like we have ourselves a mulch with brains,” Tophel scoffs, sticking his pipe into the corner of his mouth. “It’s what the Captain wants. A simple assignment to watch over our newest resident. No contact, no interference. Just watch. You’ll be on a rotating twelve hour shift with Dazer and you’ll both be assessed for other duties in a month. Any questions, mulch?”

“Why ‘mulch’?” Kasin isn’t stupid, but he asks anyway. Tophel’s greying at his temples. He’s sun weathered and rigid; got a mean, stubborn lock to his jaw. He doesn’t look like he enjoys challenging the status quo - so it’s probably best if Kasin plays his part.

“It’s what you’re gonna be by summer’s end. If you don’t like it, then prove me wrong. Anything else?”

“Am I to disguise myself while on assignment?”

Tophel smiles around his pipe, but it’s more like a leer. “No. Captain wants you in full uniform and full view at all times.”

-

Mercy’s place of residence could only be described as a hovel. It’s a shack on the edge of the forest, with swathes of spoiled land on either side. The nearest neighbour is the Sudbury Farm to the east and the dumping grounds to the west. The trees here grow black and twisted. By all rights, they shouldn’t be growing at all - but the roots have stubbornly taken hold of the arid land and the branches contort upwards, greedily drinking in every drop of rain and glimmer of sun to feed their wasted bodies.

The biggest and ugliest of these trees grows in front of Mercy’s shack, not thirty feet away. This is where Kasin stations himself, standing in his sky blue uniform, just under the gnarled black branches. He stands out in this desolate landscape, like a vibrant drop of paint on a blank white canvas. The restless movement in the dust-caked windows attests to his bold presence. 

Mercy is nervous. Aware. He peeks out the window every few minutes, but never lingers long enough for Kasin to get a proper look. 

Mercy is just a flitting shadow. No more than a ghost. 

It’s like this for three days. From morning to dusk, Kasin stands under that black tree, dutifully watching those grimy windows. Nervous shadows and obscured motions greet him like clockwork. And then Dazer, the other new recruit, shambles up (long past dusk) to take his shift. 

On the fourth day, he arrives to an angry crowd of civilians swarming Dazer with a variety of makeshift weapons in hand. 

“We want him gone, Dazer!” One of them shakes his pitchfork at the hassled guard. “I know in my gut that he’s the one stealing my chickens and cured meats!”

Dazer laughs nervously and pats the air. “Now, now, Mister Sudbury. I don’t have any say in his stayin’ or leavin’–”

The Demon & The Priest - Part 2 - Curse

Part 1 Here

CW: Explicit language, albleist slurs, ableist terms to describe mental illness, physical violence, burning/branding

.

But Ashaxi has never been kind to Lial. Even now, as Lial rests in the Temple of the Light, the den of his sworn enemy, his lord’s oppressive hand ensures his punishment.

Pain draws him out of sleep. At first, it’s quiet. A deep, grinding pain that rolls through him like waves of stone, osmium slow. It sets his teeth on edge, sets his nerves alight, and strips him back until he’s raw.

And then, the pain explodes into a tempest of agony, fire-wrapped, titanic, with the will of the gods.

He drunkenly lurches out of bed. Claws at the sweat soaked sheets tangled around his seizing limbs. He's unable to breathe, unable to scream, his panic as true as his suffering.

He’s being burned alive.

The inferno consumes him until he no longer understands pain. His fraught nerves fail him, one by one. He’s simply feeling, just feeling, and whatever that he is becomes shapeless and unfathomable.

Lial ceases to be. Ashaxi fills the void.

Returning to his senses is a fragile process. He’s lying on the cold stone floor, staring at the shadow drenched ceiling. Muscles twitch and burn in the aftermath of the attack and they are slow to respond. He is vaguely aware of how cold he is, the winter draught brittle against his clammy skin.

When he licks his lips, he tastes copper.

“How often does that happen?”

Lial raises his head and sees the priest standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed. He seems both irritated and mystified, as if Lial is a puzzle he’s struggling to solve.

“...Whenever my defence is lowered,” the demon rasps, dragging himself upright. His arms shake violently under his weight, and he slumps against the bed, panting lightly.

“Defence. I assume you mean an infernal defence magic of some kind?”

“Some kind,” Lial affirms in a grunt.

“And when you sleep, you are unable to keep focus on the magic.” The priest strokes his jaw as he muses, staring at Lial through hooded eyes. “This is the only effect of the curse?”

“For now.” The demon twitches as he tries to wipe the sweat from his brow. Frustration breaks through the haze of his exhaustion and he scowls to himself, exposing a glint of his fangs. “The stronger the curse, the more degenerative it is.”

“What happens at the end?” Julian asks, raising a brow.

“I don’t know,” Lial growls, sanguine glare flaring. “Why do you think I have come to you?”

“Mind your tone, demon,” the priest says, sharply. “I have given you sanctuary out of a sense of duty. That does not mean that I have allied myself with you nor will I tolerate your discourtesy.”

“Discourtesy,” Lial scoffs. “Do you seek to teach a child of the infernal etiquette?”

“Demons are not beyond manners.”

“Do you plan to reform me, priest?”

Julian gives him a deadpan stare. “While you are here, I may very well try.”

The demon’s laugh is coarse and full of gravel, like his throat had been scorched by fire.

Julian leaves the room briefly and returns moments later with a cup and a pitcher. “You have lost a lot of water. Drink, and we will think on what to do next.”

Lian ignores the cup and grabs the pitcher instead, ripping it out of Julian’s hands to guzzle. Water drips down his chin and catches upon his bare chest. The priest averts his gaze.

My #1 post of 2022

The Demon & The Priest - Part 1 - Help

Villain x Hero whump fic

I love all the villain shows up on hero's doorstep looking for help prompts, so I decided to try my hand at it.

Cw: explicit language, branding scars, minor violence/blood, wound care, burning

.

Julian glares at the hooded figure, standing in the back garden of the Temple. It melds with the shadows, half-hidden behind a tree, though the argent light of the full moon prevents true obscurity.

"You there!" the warrior calls out, his strong voice echoing in the serenity of the night. "You are trespassing on Temple grounds. If you seek a blessing or to make a request, you must return in the morning."

The cloaked figure shifts. It raises its head, as if to stare at Julian, but the shadows are too deep to discern any features.

Julian purses his lips and steps outside, drawing his sword. It gleams with holy light, casting a soft glow across the garden. When the light reaches the mysterious figure, it flinches and cowes.

"...What manner of creature are you? A demon? A vampire? Come forth out of the shadows, else I shall have no choice but to expel you by force!"

There's a short silence.

And then, carefully, unsteadily, the cloaked figure steps into the light. When it draws near, a shaking hand pulls the hood away, revealing a very familiar face.

Julian tightens the grip on his sword, eyes spreading in shock. "You! Why have you come?!"

The white haired figure smirks thinly, scarlet eyes narrowing against the sword's holy light. "Priest," he says, voice rough as if from disuse. "You are looking well, despite what happened in our last battle."

Julian clenches his teeth in a silent snarl. He points the end of his sword at the demon's chest. "You used foul dark magic to turn the battle. You have no sense of honour."

"Honour is but a pretty garment for the idle." Lial dares takes a step, closing the gap between them. He doesn't mind the sword, which follows his every movement. In fact, he seems rather distracted.

There's an anxious flicker in those scarlet eyes and a barely concealed tremor in his body. His body, which seems to have lost a significant amount of weight, since their last encounter. The demon had sharp features to begin with, but his emaciation turns him utterly gaunt, as if he'd been starved for months.

"Why have you come, demon? If you are seeking a fight, you will find no satisfaction here."

Lial huffs a laugh, swaying a tad on his shaking legs. There's a tired sweep beneath his eyes. He looks about ready to drop. "As tempting as that sounds, I am much too weary for a fight. I only seek sanctuary within your temple."

Julian stares at the demon for an eon, before tossing his head and releasing a bark of laughter. "You must truly think me a fool to allow a demon into a Temple of Light. Leave. Before I run you through with my blade."

That anxious flicker gains body. Lial lurches forward, grabbing the holy sword by the blade. His palm starts to blister and smoke, and the stench of cooking flesh effuses, but the demon doesn't seem to notice the pain. He's fixated upon the priest, his eyes a little wild.

"I need..." Lial falters as breath catches in his throat. He swallows the blockage and continues. "I need sanctuary. Please. Just for tonight."

Julian scowls and yanks his blade free, inevitably slicing up the demon's palm. Black blood splatters his pristine white robes. His irritation spikes.

"I give you sanctuary and you desecrate my Temple. Is that your intent? This is your final warning, demon. Leave this sacred place. The Temple is not for the likes of you."

The demon stares blankly at his wounded palm, viscous blood dripping down his arm and soaking into his cloak. He gives a hard shudder. "I have nowhere else I can go." his voice is distant. Small. "No-one else I can turn to."

"What of your clan?" Julian snaps. "Your Lord Ashaxi? It makes no sense for you to come to me. We have sought each other's destruction for years, have we not? If it were not for preserving the sanctity of the Temple, I would have killed you as soon as I realised your identity!"

Lial's eyes grow hooded. He didn't know what he expected. Did he truly believe that the priest would help him? Had he become so desperate?

Like a sudden thunderclap, white fire lances down his spine and he jerks in shock. Spindly flames branch through his back and scorch his raw nerves, flooding his veins, leaving him unable to breathe, unable to think. Eventually, the agony dissipates, and he sinks into the ground, a shaking, clammy mess.

Yes. Yes, he is desperate.

"I will do anything," he pants lightly, claws digging into the soft soil as he bows his head. "Please. Julian. This is my last hope."

[uraichievents]

Monday, May 24th, 2021 - Sunday, May 30th, 2021

~

General Info

What is UraIchi Week?

It’s a week-long fanworks event to promote the Urahara Kisuke x Kurosaki Ichigo ship. There’s no sign-up, it’s just for fun, and everybody can participate. Completed works and wips are both acceptable, and any type of fanwork (fanfic, fanart, gifsets, etc.) is welcome. The ship itself can be written romantically or platonically, basically anything you want so long as it stars these two characters together in some way. Poly is also fine so long as Ichigo and Kisuke are still the focus of the fanwork.

Posting:

For those of you with Tumblr, you can tag your stuff with #UraIchi Week 2021 in the first five tags of your post. I’ll be tracking that tag so I’ll see it and reblog it to this blog. (If it’s been a few days since you posted and I still haven’t reblogged it, something probably went wrong, Tumblr’s not always reliable, so just shoot me an ask about it and I’ll reblog it.)

For those of you with AO3, I will create a collection a day or two before the event starts, and you’ll be able to add your work to the collection when you post. (I’ll toss up a notice for everyone once the collection is up.)

And of course we have our Discord server (link is on the sidebar) so if you want to come and talk about what you’re working on or you just want to chat, feel free to join us there!

~

Themes

As always, I’ve sorted through all the votes and chosen the top ones as the official prompts, four per day (except the last day) this time, but of course, creating something based off of them is optional. It’s your choice whether or not you want to make a fanwork that includes all the themes of that day, or a fanwork for each theme, or a fanwork for just one. You can make something for each day of the week or just one or two days. And if your fanwork doesn’t fit any of the themes, there’s a Creator’s Choice option on the last day so feel free to come up with your AUs and other ideas. All prompts can be interpreted any way you want as well, it’s entirely up to you. The point of this event is simply for everyone to have fun and contribute even more to this ship :)

May 24th, 2021 - Day 1:

Time Travel/Dimension Travel AU

Crossover/Fusion AU

Reincarnation/Transmigration AU

Canon Divergence AU

First up is as always some fan favourites. You can move Ichigo or Kisuke forward or backward or sideways through space and time, or pick another fandom for them to cross into, or fuse them with another fandom’s setting. You can dump their souls into someone else’s bodies back in the TBTP Era, or have them reborn into another family in another world. Wherever you put them, they’re definitely not in their own time period or even dimension anymore.

May 25th, 2021 - Day 2:

Loyalty Kink

Touch-Starved Character(s)

Codependency

"If you're running away, I'm coming with you."

Here’s a chance to make Ichigo and Kisuke suffer and give them all the reasons to only trust and depend on each other. Let’s see all the possessive/protective feels they’re capable of given only to each other, firmly set in that us vs. the world mindset. They’d kill and die for each other, and they’re unapologetic and feral about it, and everyone else will just have to deal.

May 26th, 2021 - Day 3:

Rebellion/Revolution

vs. Gotei 13

Assassin

"Hypothetically, if I needed to bury a body, where would be a good place to do that? In a hypothetical scenario."

Is there war on the horizon? What idiocy has the Shinigami’s prejudices kicked off this time? Or maybe it’s just a few (dozen) people who desperately need an accident or two in their near future. Whatever the reasons, it’s never a good idea to cross Ichigo’s bottom line, especially when he comes in a two-for-one package.

May 27th, 2021 - Day 4:

Eldritch

"When I said I'd steal your heart if you're not careful, I wasn't speaking figuratively."

Wingfic

Secret Identity/Identity Reveal

One of these things is not like the others. Maybe one of them is a little more than just human (or Shinigami, or Quincy, or Visored). Maybe the way they smile or move is just a little bit off. Maybe what they are under their skin doesn’t even have a name, and most people instinctively know to not look too closely at the extra appendages or sharper teeth or darker shadow. Or on a lighter note, maybe being born such a unique mix of races gives Ichigo something more than just a lot of reiatsu. Or perhaps all dead souls really do have wings.

May 28th, 2021 - Day 5:

Soulmates AU

Idiots in Love

Accidental Relationship

Courtship

Here’s the day for all that romance floof (and maybe some angst too). Are they both oblivious to the other’s feelings and even their own feelings? Does everybody else already know? Or maybe they’re aware of it and one of them sets out to court the other. Or maybe they were always meant for each other, but with all their history it just takes them a while to click together. However they fall in love, they always get there in the end.

May 29th, 2021 - Day 6:

Zanpakutou

Soulscape

"Don't you get it yet? I've always known."

Throne

This day could be interpreted as a little more worldbuilding-centric than the others. Can Zanpakutou be shared if the bond between Shinigami is strong enough? How about their soulscapes? Or you can jump right into canon - what if Ichigo has always known about the various plans Kisuke has in reserve for him, whether that’s fighting Aizen or becoming the next Soul King. What about Kisuke? Benihime has never been a nice Zanpakutou spirit, but maybe she makes an exception for her wielder’s love.

May 30th, 2021 - Day 7:

Creator’s Choice!

Go wild!

I’m looking forward to seeing all kinds of fanworks once again this year!

[illfoandillfie]

Impersonal

As promised, here’s the smutty followup to yesterday’s blurb! This is the fifth post of seven in my Platonically themed event. Again, it’s not really been edited because it’s late and I’m very tired but alas, thats how it goes. 

Words: 2,278

Warning: some vague dom/sub dynamic stuff with a more dom Ben, spanking, it’s P in V sex but theres a lot of talk about butts. Also they’re still dorks. 

It had been a nice day. You and Ben had gone out with a few friends, just a little picnic in the park to catch up with everyone. If you’d been at all worried about publicly being together on a no romo day, then it was for nothing. As much as everyone there considered you and Ben to be an item, it mostly went ignored, aside from a couple of questions about how you’d gone living together so far. But having such a big lunch, everyone having brought something to share, neither of you were especially hungry at dinner time. Ben whipped up a pot of butted noodles for you to pick at as you watched TV but it was soon set aside as you shifted to lean against the arm rest with your legs stretched out to lay over Ben’s thighs. Each of you were engrossed in your phones more than the quiz show he’d flicked on, occasionally sharing something you saw or read.  

You had opened tumblr and were scrolling through your dash, pausing to read longer bits here and there but mostly just liking images and reblogging memes. Until you hit a patch of not safe for work content. One of the porn blogs you’d long since forgotten you’d followed had hit a rare patch of activity, every second post one of theirs. Those posts you paid a little more attention to, especially when videos and explicit images were involved since you knew they were likely to be taken down soon and you didn’t want to miss out on seeing something hot. Unfortunately your headphones were in another room so you weren’t game to turn the sound on for any of the videos but the visuals and erotic comments below were enough to make you feel as if the room as heated up. You could feel yourself getting wetter at each new post but couldn’t seem to stop looking at them.  

A particularly good video of a sloppy blowjob made you clench your thighs together, your foot rubbing against Ben’s thigh as a result. His palm came to rest on the top of your foot, rubbing it soothingly, though his attention was still elsewhere. In fact, his gaze didn’t shift until a little later when you were looking at a very hot gifset of a woman on all fours, crying as she was pounded from behind. He cleared his throat. You jolted a little at the sound and tried not to look too guilty as you met his eye.   “You okay?” “Mmhmm,” His eyes travelled over you from the lip between your teeth to your tightly pressed thighs and your fingers wrapped firmly around the phone.   “I don’t mean to interrupt,” he said, clearly meaning to do exactly that, “but ummmm, are you watching porn right now?” “No,” you answered too quickly. “Hey, you don’t have to hide it if you are, go nuts. I’m just a little curious about what’s turned you on so much you’re practically panting. And can I help?” “I’m not watching anything. It’s just some gifs I saw.” “Well I think QPR law states you have to show me or you’d be a big meanie.” You chuckled and handed the phone to Ben, a little curious about how he’d react.   Ben watched the gifs through a couple of times before nodding, “Yeah, that’s uhhh, that’s pretty hot,” he rubbed your foot again as he kept watching the looped footage. “Are you turned on?” “Yeah, a bit,” “Hmmm, same.” “Should we-” “Do you wanna-” You spoke at the same time and then both laughed a little as you simultaneously agreed, “Yeah.” Immediately you swung your legs around intending to walk towards the bedroom and Ben followed for about two steps before he stopped suddenly, “Wait. This is a no romo day, right? Do you still feel anti-romance?” “Yes and yeah I think so. Why?” Ben shrugged, “I don’t think we’ve ever had sex on a no romo day so...how does it work?” “Oh, good point. Well.” you wanted to keep it brief, already worked up and wanting to move to the fun part, “I think it’s probably best if we keep it on kind of the rougher side, a little impersonal even. Could you maybe hit it from behind? I’m not really sure eye contact and all that stuff would be as fun for me right now.” “No need to ask twice. My hot partner wants me to look at her gorgeous arse while I fuck her? Yeah definitely into that.” “Jesus I’d forgotten you’re an arse man.” It was true too. As much as Ben might prefer ass to tits he also enjoyed the visual stimulation of watching you – seeing the pleasure on your face, watching your body react to his. So, while doggy style was a regular position for you, variations of missionary and cowgirl were probably a little more frequent. Which was wonderful, except not what you needed right then. Ben responded by poking his tongue out you but he seemed quite as eager to move things along, “So rough doggy then? Can I spank you?” “You’d be into that?” He shrugged, “I know we haven’t really done anything kinky yet but yeah, I enjoy spanking. I mean...watching an arse jiggle after it’s hit is incredibly hot.” You giggled, “spanking is very okay then. You could be a little mean too if you wanted, maybe calling me a degrading name to get at that impersonal thing. Slut maybe.” He hummed uncertainly, “I can try it if you really want but I gotta admit I’m not as into degrading stuff as I am spanking.” “It’s fine if you don’t, whatever works. Honestly, I’m already super horny so just do whatever you’re comfortable with and don’t get too gentle or loving with it, and I’ll be happy.” “I can definitely do rough for you. For instance,” You gasped as Ben grasped your hips and turned you around, positioning you in front of the arm of the couch before he pushed you to bend over it. It was a surprise considering Ben’s typical nature. He had his controlling or domineering moments but generally seemed happiest when he was showering you in affection or letting you take charge. Adding to the surprise was the way he tugged your pants down to your knees and began to touch you through your underwear. It made you squirm, trying to find a little more friction, but he only gave you a quick spank. Not overly hard but it didn’t have to be to make you feel tingly. Just knowing Ben was capable of an action like that was hot enough. All the same he pulled your knickers down too and ran his fingers through your folds.   “Wow, okay. You meant it when you said you were horny. Pretty wet already.” “No shit Sherlock. You know I don’t need lines like that that get you interested in fucking me.” He gave you another slap for your insolence.   “Better get you stretched out then, hadn’t we?” You felt two of Ben’s fingers rest against your entrance and expected to feel them sink into you too. But it didn’t happen.   “What’s the hold up, Tiger? Ow,” the spank had been a little harder than the last.   “If you want them so bad, do it yourself.” Your breath caught as you realised what he meant and you shifted your hips back, levering yourself against the arm of the couch, until you felt his fingers penetrate you.   “That’s it Kitten. You’re too horny to wait, aren’t you? God you’ve got such a pretty arse. Giving me the best view right now. Your needy cunt soaking my fingers while your arse,” he hit you again, “jiggles. It’s making me so hard.” You whined, unable to find a better response, and rocked back against his fingers, slowly fucking yourself on them.   He let you go on like that for a little while, happy to listen to your hitched breaths and needy sighs as you got a little of what you needed. But then he pulled his fingers from you. You let out a disappointed whimper, “Ben, c’mon,” “I’m so hard from watching you be so desperate. Just gotta get my pants off. But you can play with yourself for me, can’t you?” You nodded and shifted so you could drop your fingers to your pussy. Ben gave your arse another slap, “Not what I meant Kitten. Play with your arse.” Startled by the low growl in his voice you quickly complied, leaning on the couch as your brought both hands up to grab your arse cheeks, squeezing them and pulling them apart to better show off your holes.” “That’s very good, Kitten. Spank yourself.” It wasn’t the same as when Ben spanked you since you knew what was coming and the position didn’t allow you to get as much force into your hits as he could. But it was definitely arousing and it definitely seemed to work for Ben. You’d barely registered the sound of his pants dropping before he was sliding into your wet and waiting cunt.   “I can take it from here,” Ben’s hands replaced yours, groping your arse as you dropped your arms back to the couch, though you felt it was useless to try and prop yourself up on them. It would only be a matter of time before you collapsed entirely.  

At first he kept the pace slower, letting you adjust to him, though each thrust was forceful, just as you’d asked it to be. But gradually Ben sped up, hands still playing with your cheeks, sometimes grabbing and sometimes spanking them. He tried to say more about how hot it was to take you like that but his own breath was escaping him as the words seemed to be. So he let his body talk for him as he pounded your cunt and dug his fingers into your flesh.   And then he pulled out.   You were on the verge of asking him who the fuck he thought he was when he said, “one second. Just want to try something.” and then, remembering he was meant to be acting mean, added, “And you just want me to keep fucking you, so you’re not going to complain.” In a disgruntled daze you let Ben help you up onto the back of the couch so that one leg was bent to lean against the arm he’d just had you bent over and the other dangled towards the floor. It took a little more adjustment before Ben was happy. First pulling you back towards him and the corner of the couch, and then pressing you to lean forward so your hips were raised and he could better access your pussy. You had to grab onto the back of the couch for support, digging your fingertips into the leather as Ben resumed fucking you.   The angle had changed a little and the position was slightly more awkward to maintain but it was worth it for the way your clit rubbed against the smooth leather, leaving a trail of wetness behind. Each thrust rocked your hips in such a way that you quickly found yourself getting close to release.

That, however, seemed to be Ben’s plan as he began telling you how good you were going to make him feel when he made you cum. “I know you’re close Kitten. So just cum. I want to feel your cunt on me when you do.” He lay another few spanks to your arse cheeks and that tipped you over into your orgasm.   But Ben didn’t stop.   “I th-think you can do bett-er than that,” he grit out as you clenched around him and he seemed to thrust twice as hard as he had before, “You were so,”   You grunted as he plowed into you. “So desperate before. So you can cum better than that. Right kitten?” You nodded and gasped out a, “Yes” as your arms shook with how hard Ben was fucking you.   But he didn’t relent. He kept going until he felt you tighten again and heard you moan, nearly sobbing as relief flooded your system.   That seemed to be enough for Ben and he let himself go too, holding your hip tightly as he pressed deep into you.  

Ben leaned his forehead against your back as he tried to regain his regular breathing rate and gave you a quick kiss there before he righted himself and helped you to dismount the couch. The evidence of your orgasms was still smeared across the leather but neither of you paid it any attention.   “Sorry I never called you a slut or anything,” Ben said with a slightly self-conscious chuckle, avoiding your eye as he hitched his pants back into place. “I just like Kitten better.” “Don’t be,” you said mirroring his actions to looking at him, “Kitten worked perfectly. Also, that was really good. Maybe you could be rough and mean more often?” “The double orgasm was a pretty good indication that it worked for you,” “Of shut up, I was being serious. It was really hot.” “Yes but I like teasing you, remember,” “Prick.” “That hurts,” he said with a fake gasp and a hand against his chest, “Keep talking like that and I’ll have to spank you again,” “Ha ha, very funny. Tease me all you want but we both you enjoyed it as much as I did.” “Maybe I did.” he conceded, “but I wasn’t going to hate it when I was watching your arse.” “Alright, you perv. Was there any leftover noodles? Bit peckish now.” “Yeah, in the fridge. Grab me some too would you?”

random gilmore girls posting because i’m always thinking about gilmore girls at least a little bit, whoo! (my apologies if i’ve literally made this post before -- i remember trying to make it but i think i deleted it because i couldn’t quite phrase it right? if i didn’t, i’m sorry, but also, it feels pretty on point for this particular blog’s energy!) i saw a rory/logan gifset from s7 earlier and that’s all it takes!

this is totally my own personal perception of the show and not necessarily something i can justify as a Truth about it, but something that strikes me about rory/logan vs. lorelai/christopher is that i often get this sense with rory and logan that their love is strong enough that it is, like, a foundation or a pillar -- the kind of thing that is strong enough to build a life on, to grow and change together and stick together or come back together even when times get hard because that bond is worth it. like, just the sense of great liking for each other and enjoyment of each other’s company and the overflowing affection always feels like a force where even when times get hard, their connection can power them through. (obviously i am more talking from an original series perspective than the revival here. i could probably do some musing over whether some flicker of this is still there in the revival -- i do personally think that the deep love is -- but i don’t have the emotional energy because clearly the writing didn’t think about it as much as i’m going to try to!)

with lorelai and christopher, i feel like they’re the perfect example of the love so being there, but it not being the kind of love that makes you stronger or the kind of love that serves as a foundation for moving past obstacles together to grow. that element is just missing, even when they desperately wish it wasn’t.

so the fact that rory/logan is often described as lorelai/christopher repeating itself strikes me as frustrating, because i feel like even though there are some surface-level similarities, the dynamics go in such opposite directions. like they are juxtaposed rather than just simply paralleled. (see: 7x13 - “i’d rather be in philadelphia”! it’s my blog and i’ll respect s7 as canon if i want to, palladinos!)

SUGGESTIONS:

Here are some guides and suggestions that can inspire your fics and works in able to have an idea of our event's theme. Feel free to use them in your works, we’d love to see them!

For Fic Writers:

two individuals who grew up and walked their lives together as best friends who love each other platonically yet everyone thought they were a thing (i.e. bff trope; jeno x jaemin friendship as best example); - can be fluff/angst

after years of drifting apart for unexplainable reasons, you found yourselves talking over champagne glasses and hazy nights under your colleague’s terrace in a middle of a high school reunion; - can be fluff/angst/smut

as you go on a field trip, you met someone/a stranger along the way as you both hang out for hours on end and fell in-love until you needed to leave and go back. what happens after is up to you; - can be fluff/angst

a pubg squadmate/duomate au where OCs are total strangers. They interact with their mics on, character A waits for character B in the car despite the difficult circumstances during the game. Just little things that show care; - can be fluff

bff au where their friends know they’re dating but they don’t have any idea that they are; - can be fluff

holidate au where character A desperately finds a fake boyfriend/girlfriend to avoid being interrogated by their relatives. The chosen stranger as bf/gf joins character A in every holiday together with character A’s family until they’ve grown real feelings towards each other (inspired from Netflix’s film, “Holidate”);

drive-in dates / meetups;

manga shop encounters;

interaction/exchanges through little notes tucked in between library books;

“i made you a playlist but you stayed up all night listening with him instead.”;

an invitation to a date concept (pining): until character A ends up agreeing to a cup of coffee with character B;

two strangers fought over a dog’s custody in an adoption center. Authorities suggested to split up the ownership to both of them as they were practically neighbors – sharing the dog in between weeks (what happens after is up to you); and

mutual pining.

Lottie write a scars post challenge

re: this post / @lighthouseborn because hannah is a glutton for punishment apparently sdfksdfs ily

so i’ve written a lot about Jack’s scars over the nearly seven years i’ve been here, but not so much on the new blog ( i say new as if it’s not already a year old lmao ), so i’m gonna try and consolidate as much info as possible from old posts and my own notes into this post and make this my go-to scars meta, particularly as my headcanons on how he got a few of them have changed as my portrayal has grown and developed on this blog. i’m also only going to focus on Jack’s major scars ( so effectively the ones that appear in that gifset along with a couple of others ), because he has a lot and some of the ones he got as a younger man ( i’m thinking of the ones he sustains during TPOF ) would have mostly faded by the time we get to movie-era Jack ( plus i would be here all day if i was to talk about all of them lmao and not all of them have thematic significance to his character anyway )

the eyebrow scar

so starting at the beginning, Jack has a mark extending through his right eyebrow. it’s quite difficult to see at times because of his bandana ( it really kinda depends on the scene as to whether Jack’s bandana is high enough above his eyebrow for it to be visible, and when he has his hat on it’s even more difficult to spot ). while there are all sorts of ways in which he could have sustained that, i tie this specifically to the abuse Jack suffered as a child -- most notably from his grandmother, who he was forced to live with for a couple of years following his mother’s death. they’re kids books, believe it or not, but there is mention in the young Jack Sparrow series as well as the Legends of the Brethren Court series of Jack having lot of difficult memories associated with his grandmother, from her locking him in a brig because another family member had a premonition that Jack would set fire to her ship ( he was eight years old at the time ), to having nightmares about her red tooth, to casually mentioning how she would attack and throw things at him. 

with mine and @thecodekeeper’s headcanons trying to stitch all of this together into an upbringing that makes sense for Jack, i find it difficult to believe that he would have gotten out of that situation without any marks to speak of, so he sustained it from her throwing something at him. the sad part is that Jack has blocked out a lot of those memories because of how unhappy he was, so he can’t recall precisely what she threw, only that she threw something and was inches away from blinding him in one eye.

burns on his left arm

the lightning burns that twist around his left arm actually have a canon explanation, and that’s from when he was trapped inside of his cabin on the Wicked Wench after it was set alight by Beckett ( he did climb on board while it was burning, so it is partially his fault but y’know lmao ). in Jack’s desperate attempts to save all his worldly goods, which he kept in a chest in his cabin, he was jolted up against the door and the flames from the weatherdeck leapt through and set his shirt sleeve on fire. Jack uses his right hand to try and stamp the flames out, which also happens to be not just his dominant hand, but the palm he covers up with a leather guard throughout all the movies, so therefore i imagine he has burns there too. the guard likely started as a way to stop him from aggravating the burns as they healed, and then after years passed it just stuck as an accessory and he continued wearing it. even though Jack is somewhat ambidextrous in that he can wield a sword in both hands and aim a pistol effectively in his left despite his right being his dominant, his left arm is his significantly weaker one and he does have lingering numbness in it from time to time.

the brand

we all know how Jack got the brand. i go into a lot more detail about the emotional and psychological effects of being branded in this meta here, but physically-speaking it’s something that causes him discomfort for years afterwards --- in DMC all it takes is for Elizabeth and Gibbs to mention Beckett for Jack to reach for his brand, so while it eventually stops causing him constant pain, the memory of having it inflicted on him and of those involved persists, and it’s probably the scar that bothers him most for the psychological reasons i detail in the other meta above. he has the most complicated relationship with his brand as opposed to the others, and i imagine that is because it is the only one that was deliberately inflicted on him with the intent to leave a mark

scar on his left palm

i don’t have much to say about this one except that, since Jack has to use his blood to help break the Aztec curse ( because he stole a piece of the treasure while fighting Barbossa ), he slices his left palm right before throwing his piece to Will. this is a matching scar that he has with Will and Elizabeth and idk i just like the symbolic significance of the trio having gained the same scar through a shared experience.

powder burns on the right-hand side of his chest

one day i’ll actually be able to tell you precisely what happened here, step by step, and how Jack got shot and who by and the circumstances around it, but it’s the one scar I’ve always kept vague -- i think because it’s the one i want to best demonstrate the point of that deleted scene with Elizabeth: that the truth of Jack’s life as a pirate does not live up to the stories. Jack will tell the story of how he got shot and make it sound daring and dramatic, but i don’t think the truth of it is nearly as exciting or worthy of the legend that surrounds him. i’ve debated the idea that he was shot by an angry husband ( based on a snippet of dialogue that was cut from AWE between Jack and Gibbs ), and i think that’s the closest to the truth that Jack will let me get to exactly what happened

but i can tell you a few other things i know about it for sure. he was shot twice in quick succession, given that both powder burns appear similar to one another and, while it’s his right-hand side of his chest which gives a decent enough distance from his heart ( so it wouldn’t have been fatal by 18th century standards ), it is still in a dangerous enough place that he would have needed medical attention immediately considering the limitations of the era. that’s where Jack’s ship surgeon comes in ( @valorsworn ), because John Watson is a canon part of this franchise idk what you mean when you say he isn’t. anyway it’s my canon that John’s actions saved Jack’s life, but it would have also led to a lengthy recovery period ( you don’t just recover from two gunshot wounds to your chest overnight, particularly not in a century where the risk of infection is arguably even more dangerous than the actual wounds themselves ). so we’re talking weeks of recovery and then probably weeks of rehabilitation as Jack gets his strength back to where it was before he’d gotten shot, and I’d say that this is easily the worst injury he’s probably ever suffered.

[a-force-dyad-in-space]

CHECK-IN TAG

I was tagged by @vishcount thank you ♥️

1. Why did you choose your url?

I love Rey and Ben/Kylo from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and they are a force dyad who travel through and can communicate across space so, ergo, a force dyad in space ✌🏻

2. Any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

I don't have any sideblogs at the moment, but I'll be sure to tell you guys if I ever make any 😋

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

With this account, about two years, but I had another account before this one that ran from about 2011-2018 👀

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Nope, when I'm not online my blog is as dead as a doornail 🤣🤣🤣

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Some months after I deleted my old account (for mental health reasons that I won't go into right now), I wanted to branch out into the Tumblrverse again. Even on my old account I hadn't been really active in a while because I was mostly on Twitter at that point. When I made this account, I still wasn't very active for a while, but after I watched The Rise of Skywalker I was in desperate need of kindred spirits and tired of really terrible takes on Twitter, so I started being more active here again (and made some great friends along the way ♥️), until I pretty much neglected all my other social media

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Again, I love Reylo, and since my URL is Reylo-based, I felt like my icon needed to be, too (even though I rarely even post Reylo these days, I gotta change that 😅); the icon I got right now is a bit dark and ominous for my liking now, tho, so I'll probably change it to a nicer one soon

7. Why did you choose your header?

When I watched The Untamed for the first time in November, I fell in love with WangXian, and I still love them to this day ♥️

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Uh, this one might come as a surprise since I rarely post about Twilight, but it's my Eclipse rewatch post where I praise the vampire make-up and David Slade's beautiful use of the vampire sparkle (the Eclipse make-up and VFX departments really did the most) 😅 As of today (June 5, 2021) that post has just under 1k notes

9. How many mutuals do you have?

As of today, 16 (and I love every single one of them ♥️) 

10. How many followers do you have?

As of today, 153, but I don't really care about the quantity, more about the quality 👌🏻

11. How many people do you follow?

As of today, 357

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Uuuh... does my WangXian crack giftset count?

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Way too much probably, but honestly it and the Asian dramas I'm watching are what have been keeping me sane during this pandemic, so I don't really care 🤷🏻‍♀️

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

Not that I can remember, but I have gotten rude anons before whose asks I simply deleted and moved on (I don't have the energy for that kind of bullshit; which is also why I don't accept anon asks anymore, my apologies to the people who might have sent me nice anon asks and are too shy to message me off anon; I don't bite, tho, I promise)

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I don't like "Reblog this or you're a terrible person" posts (tho I have to admit, I've let myself be guilt-tripped into reblogging these types of posts before, but I'm trying not to let those get to me anymore), because

1) by guilt-tripping people into reblogging something, whether it's an important topic or not, you will never know whether the person you guilt-tripped actually cares about the topic,

2) by trying to guilt-trip them into reblogging you might actually cause them to do the exact opposite and make them care even less because caring might feel like a chore as opposed to a learning curve about something they may have never heard of before they saw the post that's trying to guilt-trip them

and 3) at the end of the day we're all just running our little blogs here and absolutely no one is obligated to reblog anything they don't want to reblog.

Yes, it's important to raise awareness about important issues, but guilt-tripping someone into caring about something instead of just letting them know that that something is happening and letting them do their own research about it and grow to care about it on their own terms is not the way.

Okay, this one turned out more ranty than I anticipated, but here we are. 😅

16. Do you like tag games?

If I didn't I wouldn't be doing this one right now, would I? 😋

17. Do you like ask games?

I do, but no one ever sends me any asks for them 🥲🥲🥲🥲 (tho I rarely send other people asks for ask games, too, so I guess I could make more of an effort as well)

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Definitely @cenedrariva, their SongXueXiao fic "Red Azalea" is absolutely amazing and they deserve all the love they get for it ♥️

Also, @krispycreamsicle and @byallaccountsitdoesntmakesense both make super awesome gifsets that they absolutely deserve to be tumblr-famous for 🔥

19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?

Who knows? 😏

20. tags?

Well, the three blogs I already mentioned are welcome to do the tag, of course, if they want, and also @calamity-queen @huxdameron @yumingyesfairy @nika1882 and @angst-wizard ♥️ No pressure tho, of course

[ohhalefire]

Tagged by @scribblesandsorcery, as usual <3

1. Why did you choose your url?

The "oh" is a holdover from my previous url, and halefire is for... The Hale Fire. And also it's a double entendre idk how to explain jokes

2. Any side blogs?

Just @screamingwithlife gets any use whatsoever.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

I'm an Old. It's been since like, 2009? 2010?

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Yep! #queue-t. May change it soon, since for some reason the app can't remember the dash in it????? and i always have to type that???????

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Literally no memory of it. My memory is notoriously terrible idk

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I mean. LOOK AT HIM. :P Also I just really like deleting backgrounds and replacing them with marble textures so

7. Why did you choose your header?

No header because I'm a square

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

This terrible Hermione Granger + text posts post has 157k notes and that's more than like, any artsy gifset or graphic I spent hours on by a COUNTRY MILE so that's tumblr for you

9. How many mutuals do you have?

Oh god, like hundreds, but most of those blags are all dead

10. How many followers do you have?

Once upon a time I used to be a fairly prolific hp gifmaker so from that era I have 1836, but again most of those blags are dead now

11. How many people do you follow?

1683. Yep, most dead, too.

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

/gestures vaguely to the whole blag

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

I plead the fifth

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

Nah. An anon called me snobby for saying I don't follow on request once, tho

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Usually ignored? Not always.

16. Do you like tag games?

Otherwise I probs would not be doing this

17. Do you like ask games?

I love them, but my followers obvs aren't as active as they were before The Great Tumblr Purge so I get way fewer bites

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

omg any one of my mutuals actively making pretty gifs or fanart is super famoose compared to me. I just go on this site to sit on my rocking chair on the front porch, drink sweet tea, smoke from a pipe, and occasionally mumble stories up towards the sky about how things used to be

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

In the i-desperately-want-us-all-to-be-best-friends way, absolutely!

I tag @greyhavenisback and @boojums-snark because those are the only ones I know who ever do these xD This one's long, though, so feel free to pass~

[zevzevarainai]

Outta pure curiosity, what are ur main yakuza ships? Fave characters & least fave?

your curiosity is so welcome you have no idea i love talking about my opinions omg

i dont know how many you want each but i’ll just go for it

--

My Main Ships:

1) Kiryu/Majima, obviously. If you haven’t figured that out you must have only just got here

2) Majima/Makoto has a death grip on my soul like goddamn i could write an essay on their dynamic and what people look over. don’t request the essay because i can and will do it.

3) Kiryu/Nishiki is classic and wholesome i mean come on.

4) Akiyama/Hana, mostly just because I want good things for Hana not like the *gags* y4 epilogue i mean actual good things. love these will-they-won’t-theys.

5) Ichiban/Joon-Gi Han/Zhao; i dont have a lot of poly ships HOWEVER

6) Mine/Daigo someone once said in tags on my gifset that im fucking insane for this one which not like in a way that excuses Mine’s actions or anything but in the way that Mine is actually interesting compared to the other yakuza villains who have NOTHING going on. This is mostly fueled by Daigo waking up from a coma, shooting a guy, and desperately asking if MINE is okay

7) Majima/Therapy, Kiryu/Therapy, Haruka/Therapy

--

Favorite Characters

1) Majima, obviously. i am going to make a song called do i want to smooch him or do i want to heavily project onto him

2) Judgement Kazzy I mean there is a reason he successfully stays the playable character for what, 10 games? it’s refreshing to see a video game man be soft and open-minded

3) my girl Makoto I will defend her to my last breath.

4) he’s kind of tied with Makoto but DAIGO is my son even though he is twice my age in the later games it doesn’t matter he is my son.

5) Haruka, who would be higher on this list if it wasn’t for y5. no not y6, we support her choices and she is so valid, YAKUZA FIVE

6) Yuki, tbh, god what a queen

7) ichiban is such a good boy and they really did well making people care about a protag that isnt kiryu

--

Least Favorite (i am going to leave out the y5 villians, who are so unmemorable i can’t remember their names.)

1) M*rei Park please see the entire essay length text post i wrote on why i hate her

2) Shimano?? why does kiryu and them call him a yakuza great after what he did to majima... im not going to get into that to avoid sensitive topics that could trigger someone. ALSO HE LOOKS LIKE EVIL GRIMACE MCDONALDS i called him grimace the entire time i played through y0 which was my first game

3) ODA!!!! This is an Oda hate blog!!! i dont care if he has funny interactions with kiryu and is gay for tachibana he did THAT to my girl makoto!!!! horrendous bad disgusting fucking shithead!!!!

4) Sagawa... please.......... stop shipping him with my boy..................... he’s better than shimano but not by much...............................

5) sohei dojima needs to do better by my baby daigo good thing kiryu is his dad now also he is gross and looks like Leo Luster from Donkey Kong

[hoedameron]

typically i don’t talk about the gifs that i make for myself but i am in a chatty mood so we’re have a socratic seminar right now.

also, before i get started, you can use these headers if you’d like! literally everything you see on this blog are freebies tbh. just a forewarning that the cas one is not the standard 640 px width because i was experimenting with something so just...be mindful of that <3 no need to credit unless you feel inclined to! just know i spent...quite awhile on them xx

i get most of my ideas for spn gif headers by seeings gifs on the tl that make me go “you know what? this would make for a great header” and run with that. i do pray that the op put the season and episode in the tags and if they don’t...SHH don’t laugh but if i’m desperate enough, i actually go through the tags to see if any hardcore stan knows the exact szn/ep. other times, i write some scenes down in my journal that i think would be great but again, those written down are definitely from scenes i saw in gifsets. call me unoriginal idc i’m just making things that make me happy and i know would be hella sexy.

let’s talk about how fucking LONG it takes to down/load an episode of supernatural like....i deadass spent five hours downloading plucky pennywhistle’s magical menagerie and around three hours to download the man who would be king....is it just best to t/orrent the whole ass season or WHAT like i’m deadass about to do that for any spn gifs i wanna make because that ajsdajksldjksla RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY. i’m not even that mad like it humbles me and it shows how dedicated i am to the craft. if anybody has tips for t/orrenting old spn episodes, please hmu because i would like to make more content in the future but this is a big hurdle on why i hesitate to create content for this show (among other things BUT this is one of the biggest reasons). you could have the fastest wifi speed the world has to offer pero if that bitch has no seeds...

for the castiel header: i had three different colorings for him. i really wanted to bring out his eyes because that is what drew me to make the header in the first place. y’all know that as a gifmaker, i really like making my gifs warmer and using pale/aesthetic coloring is so out of my wheelhouse and not my forte...but i do try to branch out of my comfort zone. back to the eyes, i went through a lot of psds, tinkering with their settings, and came out with three of them: the warm one that i did end up using and two pale-ish ones. the other third one isn’t here because i ultimately determined that it’s basically this one here but a lot lighter. the coloring made cas almost a ghost so i’m like...we still need to keep SOME of his skin tone even if it’s a lack thereof...okay, the reason why that this one doesn’t have the typical 640 px dimension is because i wanted to keep...how do i say this...i wanted to keep some of his facial structure? because the scene is really focused on cas’ face so it’s the entire frame. because tumblr is the way it is, it cuts at a weird spot where he looks like that bitch from doctor who all stretched out. so in an attempt to prevent that, i made it in this dimension where it’s basically me free handing the crop but ultimately it didn’t do anything lol. so i basically went back and made an entirely new gif with one of the colorings i saved and ta-da!

for the sam header: going in, i knew it was going to be a dark lit scene. i knew i had specific spn colorings that have been useful for shows outside of supernatural so i was like...i mean, tried and true, eh? i went through about six colorings until i finally settled on like...four. the first two of the six, though colorful, really made sam’s skin a bit...washed out. the next two were...basic. one of those basic coloring was the dark spn coloring and though it looked okay, there wasn’t any flavor to it. if i can be colorful in a gif, i will definitely climb up that tree. i love and admire vibrant gifs so if i can do that, oh man, it’s such a fun feeling because it’s like WOW i actually did that! then there were two colorings that were really, REALLY good because one of them was vibrant but it also had a subtlety to the gif. the other one was vibrant and brought out the blue in the background. it was a hard decision but i did save both of them and was like well, this is a problem for future me. i was actually surprised that the glitter on sam’s jacket and shirt didn’t up the mb because it definitely had me worried there. i also thought about making this gif header as another scene but realized it was a little too short for my liking (it was when he was surrounded by clowns but they magically disappear into thin air, leaving glitter in their wake). really love how this gif turned out :)

and yeah, that’s all i got to say about them. everything went smoothly with the sharpening, no problems on that front...i thought about opening up my inbox for suggestions of what scenes i should gif pero i’m afraid that 1) nobody will respond, 2) i will get some strange requests, or 3) i will get a lot of them. i would love to create more but i am like..creatively stuck. i don’t typically make those fancy edits with templates, i am more of a practical gifmaker aka i just stick to the original material. who knows...maybe i’ll be pushed and motivated...thanks for taking the time to read this !!

[thelightofthingshopedfor]

okay I’m desperate so let’s just try this:

I need more Loki on my dash! mostly MCU Loki but I also love 616 Loki from Kid Loki onward, if that’s relevant to anyone! please interact with this post if I’m not already following you, you post/reblog a lot of Loki stuff*, and also

you like, or at least don’t actively dislike, Wanda Maximoff (and therefore don’t reblog lots of Wanda-critical posts)

ditto but about Steve Rogers

ditto but about Ragnarok, actually? I mean it has plenty of flaws and I have no problems with pointing those out, but I’m happier finding things to like about stuff, generally speaking (with...some exceptions for IW/Endgame...), so if you call it Gagnarok or can barely find one positive thing to say about it, or regularly reblog posts to the same effect, then...I’m gonna get uncomfortable real quick

similarly, if you can barely find one optimistic thing to say about the upcoming Loki show, sorry but I don’t really want that energy on my dash

(on the other hand if you can barely find anything wrong with IW/Endgame, or you can’t at least accept that other fans can hate Loki-related decisions in IW/Endgame and have concerns about the Loki show without automatically dismissing those fans’ opinions as wrong, I don’t especially want that energy on my dash either and you’re not going to want mine)

you’re not, like, constitutionally opposed to nuance in general

you don’t utterly despise Thorki and anyone who ships it (I don’t even ship Thorki myself, I find it kinda squicky, but I’m completely okay following Thorki shippers and I’m completely not okay following antis)

you have generally inclusive, progressive views on real-world stuff (yes this includes believing a-spec people are inherently queer and also that queer is a perfectly fine thing to be), or you just literally never talk about real-world stuff

yes I do realize this is all pretty specific, and yes I also realize that the specificity of this list is why I’m struggling to find more Loki blogs to follow, but I keep coming across blogs that otherwise look relevant to my interests and then make me nope out by hugely failing one or more of the above points, and it’s a real bummer so I just figured...eh, worth a shot

* by “Loki stuff” I really mean anything--fic, meta, and fanart are especially good, but screenshots, gifsets, photos, behind-the-scenes clips, etc. are cool too, I’m really not picky**

** about this one particular thing

[b-rainlet]

Gotham for the fandom ask thingy.

(I ran here so fuckin fast you have no clue)

Hello anon! :D I will answer this now, so you don't have to wait any longer but also....this would be very nice to answer through gifsets...(maybe when I am feeling up for it).

For now, have this:

(It's not proof read because I just sat at this for several hours and I don't wanna look at it anymore).

Favourite Male Character

You mean...besides the obvious answers?? :D

Ngl, it's S2 Jerome. I love that little twink with his parental issues and his tragic backstory and I wanna see him happy. There's a reason I have a bunch of AUs where he ends up having a family (mostly in the form of Lee as his Mother) and gets some actual help instead of being ostracized for being a mentally ill person snapping after years of abuse.

(This also ties into my very strong feelings regarding the fact that nobody actually helps the people at Arkham. And I don't mean the main villains there, I mean all the inmates who get treated like shit and are left behind on the regurlar (remember in S2 when Arkham was about to explode and nobody was talking about evacuating the inmates???? I do).

Other than that, one of my faves is also Jonathan. Which may be a little surprising because I barely talk about him but he was my favourite character throughout the show and he had way too little scenes.

(Kinda telling that the characters I latched onto are both helpless teens who were fucked over by the people who were supposed to protect them and can both trace their villain origin story back to Jim Gordon not caring enough about them lmao).

But the cast is big and varied enough that I actually like everyone? Butch, Zsazs, Penguin, S1 and 2 Ed, Jervis, Harvey, Jim......I like them all!!

(Special shoutout to 514A too, he was soft and baby and I wanted to keep him safe and sound really desperately).

(Another special shoutout to Barnes!! I didn't expect to like him when I first saw him, given he looked like he was gonna be mean and stoic and all, but I ended up really liking him and his story!)

Favourite Female Character

Let's just pretend Ecco doesn't exist for this answer ajdkaskaslj.

I fell in love immediately upon seeing Ecco but all! the women! are so!!! good!!!!

I especially have a soft spot for the side characters. I mean, upon first watching I got attached to Alice (even though she only features in two episodes lmao), and also Kristen Kringle - who isn't talked about much within Fandom, but she was pretty and her and Ed were actually quite cute but then she had to die for him to become the Riddler which was...pretty much telling us from the beginnning 'The woman here die to advance the men's plots'.

Barbara was also a big surprise to me because I figured she'd be the female love interest and nothing more but!! her and Jerome were the best thing in S2 and also the most entertaining thing about the Maniax Plot. (In several ways, I think I had the most fun watching this show during S2 , it was just. Good).

Also upon being in this Fandom and thinking about certain characters a bit longer I also really like Vicky Vale. And Montoya. And I wish they had kept both around for longer.

(I also wish they wouldn't have made Vicky a love interest for Jim. Or Sofia. No love interests for Jim except Lee and Barbara please).

Also Selina!! I love both Selina and Tabitha with all my heart - which may also be surprising because I barely ever talk about Tabby but I contain multitudes aklskddsm, and while I like sharing my horny thoughts about Ecco, I also love to think about Tabby and daydream about her being happy and exploring her (and Selina's) issues with showing weakness and affection and their strong loyalty regarding people that they trust.

I just.....women. Women good.

(Women also deserve to have more character than just being somebody's love interests and I have enough wips that completely sideline the guys to focus on the woman instead lmao).

Least Favourite Character

I don't have many characters that I hate??

I generally tend to instantly love everybody unless they are specifically made to be unlikeable. (I also spite-like characters who are hated for petty reasons, I just have a lot of love in my heart and not much energy for hate lmao).

But there were characters who annoyed me while I was watching.

For one, I think Gotham has a variety of super entertaining villains, but the main villains of each season tend to be....boring.

Safe for Strange they all kinda fell flat for me. Theo. Kathryn. Ra's Al Ghul. His Daughter. Mostly because their plotlines were less exciting than stuff like Jerome's carnival or Mother and Orphan's Hotel of Horrors.

Or their motives seemed a lot less understandable than the ones of the other Batman villains who pretty much always come from a place of suffering and abuse and break/snap under the pressure that's put on them (continuing this take of Gotham creating its own villains by leaving behind - mentally ill - people that need help, which I think is very true to most - if not all - Batman villains).

And then you have some characters that simply suffer from the fact that the show was cut short - which is pretty much any and every S5 character that had way too little screentime, but in this specific case means Jeremiah.

Because I disliked Jeremiah a lot while watching.

Without wanting to step on anybody's toes, him and Nygma are probably the two characters on this show I ended up disliking the most.

Mostly because Miah felt like a very cheap copy of Jerome and to this day I think it was a bad idea to replace Jerome with him, since Jeremiah - to me - seems like a super flat character.

Maybe if we had gotten him without meeting Jerome first, just having a Joker character introduced in S4, maybe I would've adored him, who knows.

But in comparison to Jerome...no. Just no.

(I will spare you from any longer rambles, but I think if you follow me, I talked about the ways Miah is lacking for me before).

My made up version of Miah though? I love him.

With Nygma it's even worse because I adored him. I instantly liked him. I was 100% behind him right up until the godawful Isabella plot happened and then it just all went to shit so quickly, I couldn't stand seeing him on screen anymore.

It's surprising that I didn't stop liking Oswald but to me, Oswald pretty much stayed the same while Ed became all bitter and hard and I just miss dorky S2 Ed you know?

It actually got so bad, I completely turned my back on Nygm/obblepot as a ship because I was so severly disappointed and I barely talk about Ed because I just can't stand what they did with him.

(Another victim of bad writing).

Favourite Ship

I'm just gonna stick to canon ships because I don't ever shut up about my Fanon ships so you probably know which ones I love the most :D

There isn't much romance going on within Gotham if I think about it - apart from Jim - which I definitely prefer. You wouldnt guess it from my blog, but I am not a fan of too shippy stuff because in most cases it just means sex scenes and I can live without those. I want action! Blood! Dead People! Not a two minute make-out session between two bland characters!

I gotta admit that Ed and Lee have some cute scenes and I would definitely ship them if I didn't dislike S4 Ed so much (S2 EdLee tho?? Yes).

Also I thought Jim and Lee was okay and Baby Batcat was quite cute at times but mostly I don't care about the canon ships.

I do ship Barbara and Jim though :D

I remember right before they hooked up in S5 I was like: 'I wouldn't mind if they got back together' and then went 'yay!' when they did and I wouldn't have minded a little more 'Will they?? Won't they??' between those two and them just having the mother of unhealthy relationships on this show.

(Also Jim/Barbara/Lee poly relationship but we can't have everything).

Favourite Friendship

So many good relationships on this show!

I need to rewatch the show soon because I probably already forgot about most of them but from the top of my head: Oswald/Butch and Oswald/Zsazs

Which were both then done dirty lmao. One by having Oswald be overly petty (one of the few times I was like...Pengy...wtf...) and the other by passing up the obvious opportunity to have Zsazs find out who really killed Falcone and just...letting Oswald and Victor never interact again. 

Then of course Ivy and Selina which also gloriously fell apart. Just like Ivy and Oswald. 

(Gotham isn’t the best when it comes to maintaining friendships). 

And the biggest and most grandious friendship of them all: J Squad. 

(Who have too little scenes together honestly and then also simply fell apart after Jerome died. Consistency who?)

Favourite Quote

I don’t know, I don’t have many quotes in my head from the show. Me and my niece mostly reference: “Yeah, that’s a spoon.” - “IT IS ALSO A FORK!!1!!!”

Also: “Gotta Go! Gotta Go! They’re after me and the Scarecrow!”

(There are some dialogue blurps I have written down somewhere because they are inspriration for gifsets but in order to be able to just recite some of them from Memory, I would have to watch this show way more obsessively). 

Worst Character Death

I don’t even gotta say anything do I? :D

But I think the character death that actually made me cry was Jerome’s first death. I clearly remember crying because...he just wanted recognition! And praise! And instead he was used as a pawn and betrayed by someone he idolized and he was only 18! My poor little meow-meow!

Seriously, the only things that make me cry on this show: Jerome’s first death, any and all mention of Bruce as a baby - told by an emotional Alfred, any and all Bruce/Alfred interaction at all and Solomon Grundy. 

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment

I seriously need to rewatch this show, it’s been so long :D

But I remember being pretty excited for the J Squad Team Up - because I was like ‘If I were Jerome I would definitely work with Tetch and Scarecrow since they’re also in Arkham atm’ and then he did!!

And I also distinctly remember in S3 that I was close to falling asleep right when they scene came on where Oswald realizes his feelings for Nygma and let me tell you - it caught me so off guard, I was awake instantly lmao. 

(I knew that people shipped them but I was so used to mlm ships being popular when they only have a handful of scenes and are platonic friends that I didn’t expect them to actually have a possibility of being canon). 

From then on I was super pumped for them to deliver on that ship but well....we all knew what happened asnksnndk. 

Saddest Moment

Aside from the already mentioned scenes in the character death column, the scene where Bruce leaves and Selina runs to the airport. I always liked Selina but she wasn’t a priority character of mine (much like Bruce isn’t) but then that scene happened and in an instant, I felt super protective over her. 

She is now my baby. My daughter. My beloved wife. She deserves everything and most importantly she deserves better than Bruce Wayne. 

(Coincidentally that was also the scene where I decided I don’t care much about Bruce asldjkjlj. I absolutely adore early seasons Bruce though). 

Favourite Location

There are so many different locations, I don’t think I can adequately answer this with my spotty memory :D

But I always loved the few episodes where Alice features, because I love how her scenes are shot so probably the little carnival Jervis prepares for her.

Also!! Jeremiah's church!

Or Commissioner Loeb's secret house (Especially the Attic).

There are a lot of cool locations, I gotta gif some of them soon :D

[kiranxrys]

You have been chosen! Use this ask as a free pass to rant about literally anything, regardless of whether or not someone asked your opinion! In fact, take this as someone asking your opinion! (this Free Rant card does not expire, use whenever you want)

this is a lot of fun, thank you. to be honest i’m just going to take this opportunity to rant about myself so consider this life updates with dylan plus a lot of opinions because i’m full of those. (spoiler alert: topics for this rant ended up including school, downton abbey and general rambling).

honestly until today i was considering this week to be one of those ‘wow this is the worst week of my life’ kind of weeks because it kind of went like, monday: cried in history class, tuesday: alright, wednesday: left school sobbing after exhausting and disastrous english assessment, thursday: woke up to find my computer broken (dented, hinges bent, busted screen) and none of my work done. really by that point i wasn’t even crying i was just like yeah this may as well happen you know. i came home from dropping my computer off at my school tech centre, sat down on the living room floor and proceeded to watch the entire season 5 of downton abbey while i stared miserably at the blank exercise book in front of me. 

downton abbey. that’s something. has anyone else seen this show?? for those who don’t know it’s a kind of british propaganda high-budget fast food period drama about early 20th century landed gentry and how the old order is all well and good and gay people are alright but they do have to suffer a bit to make up for it. or that’s one way of putting it, at least. this article is great, if you’ve got the time to read it. anyway i first watched downton abbey at a very impressionable age and it has stuck with me ever since even though i could rant for ten times longer about all its problems than the things i like about it. because really, it’s a masterclass in tv writing messiness and weird propaganda. and yet i still know every plot point off by heart somehow. 

probably the main reason i’m still attached to downton abbey (aside from it being just a familiar thing to have on the tv and not care too much about) is to do with thomas, whose defining characteristics (at least at the beginning of the show) can mostly be boiled down to evil and gay. i’m inclined to love thomas because no one else does (for sometimes fair reasons, like i said - evil) and because i think he’s by far one of the more complex characters in the show (who also doesn’t just randomly develop backwards once we hit season 6).

anyway, at the moment downton abbey is one of the few salvations in my school-stricken life. i’m sure to a lot of you at uni/college or working probably think i sound a bit mad sobbing over year 12 (senior year?? sixth form?? you sort it out) but really it is horrific. it’s only been going for 5 weeks and it’s horrific. i’ve got a mountain of work to do that i really don’t feel like doing. but i feel like i’ve lost the point here, this was supposed to be about my week from hell and how it suddenly became... not that. 

today was friday and weirdly enough, it has been a really lucky day for me. i got my computer back completely fixed and nothing to pay, i only had to attend two classes in the morning and have since spent my afternoon snacking on strawberries and chocolate-covered digestives. plus i don’t even really have to think about schoolwork, because it’s a long weekend and i’m surrreeee that will be plenty of time to get it all done.

a few notes vis a vis this blog - i am desperate to write fic again, but at the moment i simply haven’t the time and have several other projects i need to finish first besides. i’m going to be absolutely tied down with work and other nonsense for the rest of march but i’ll keep my queue running here as ever, plus maybe the occasional gifset whenever i get the chance.

if you read all of this... i appreciate it? but also what are you doing with your life. but also i love you and i hope you’re well! please take care of yourself. it’ll all work out, i promise :)

[zoeysplaylistgifs]

I love your blog, but as much as I love it I really think you should change your name. Your bias towards the ship really shows and how you don’t edit Max & Zoey at all considering they were a huge spoiler for this weeks episode/finale. And before you say the show isn’t about ships you chose to edit Zimon. So either be fair or change your name.

Oh fuck off. You have no right to tell me to change my blogname, it’s my blog and I will gif whatever I want to gif. If you’re so desperate for Zomax, go make your own blog and post gifsets, I don’t owe you SHIT. Second of all, I have no problems giffing them but there’s a ton of gifsets from them just from the last episode if you would actually have the intellect to look in the tags (And i would gif them if i’d actually get some requests for them, but I never do so who’s fault is that?) Why should I gif scenes that already have been giffed? I’d rather gif underrated scenes, that no one cares about. I’m literally providing most of the content in this fandom, stop being so ungrateful.

Are you really that triggered over one Zimon set from me today? You know why I tend to gif them more besides the fact that I like them? Because when new episodes air, all people gif is Zomax and I want to give people who may ship other things the chance to enjoy content too.
