#i'm sorry for any errors/mistakes/misunderstandings

[arscorpii]

do you think about how the only two times (episodes 11 and 37) utena took her rose crest ring off (tried versus successfully) were due to the prince(s) of utena's past [touga (she believed him to be the prince from her past) versus akio], and both times, she secured the ring back on her finger due to anthy...

both scenes followed a similar sequence of events; utena was faced with a substantial realisation ⟶ utena tried giving up the pursuit of the princely ideals ⟶ utena shared a heart-to-heart moment with anthy ⟶ utena got herself together and resumed playing the role of a prince for anthy's sake.

in episode 11, touga successfully manipulated utena into believing he's the prince she met when she was younger. utena's aim was to reunite with her prince, and now that she had met "him," he challenged her to a duel. naturally, this would make her feel conflicted and wish she wasn't a part of the dueling game that had put her in this position. as utena tried removing her ring, anthy called out to her. i think it may have been intentional on anthy's part to call utena at that time, to prevent her from removing the rose crest ring and dropping out of the duels without fighting touga (although i don't have any proof to back this up; just a matter of a convenient interference time by anthy). i did ponder why anthy didn't let utena simply drop out of the duels; perhaps it had something to do with honing one's soul sword (touga's in this case [?]), and in a way, anthy wanted to teach utena a lesson/give her a reality check as with the cases of the other duelists in previous episodes.

after a little conversation with anthy, utena was resolute in going through with the duel for anthy's sake. the heart of the conversation was anthy admitting that she wished to have more friends. with the knowledge of later events in the series in mind, upon rewatch, this part could easily be interpreted as anthy's subtle manipulation of utena to ensure she continued participating in the dueling game. in my opinion, anthy was honest here and she used the honesty to manipulate utena, a situation of plausible deniability. i think both facts can be true at the same time. on the other hand, it's also possible that anthy detested the companionship of others and so, she simply lied to utena here to manipulate her. nevertheless, i'd like to think that it's realistic and possible for anthy to both hate and long for some normal human connections despite her loneliness. to me, anthy did have contradicting qualities coexisting within her.

i think it's interesting that she chose anthy over her "prince." i think this may indicate that utena cherished what she had with anthy at the moment more than what she had with her prince in the distant past and what she could have with him should she choose him. perhaps utena didn't dare to risk losing the security the bond with anthy provided her over something uncertain and possibly at odds with her own sense of self.

despite the unconventional ways things had played out, utena had begun to consider anthy her friend, like wakaba. however, what differentiated wakaba and anthy was the role anthy played. i believe performing the role of a prince alongside anthy as her rose bride truly affirmed utena's sense of self because she had molded a large part of her self around the ideals of a prince. this made her friendship with anthy more special than her friendship with wakaba. besides companionship, utena can also be more of herself with anthy compared with wakaba, or any other person.

utena assumed responsibility for protecting anthy, which is reasonable since she's engaged to anthy at the time. she added that she could "turn anthy back into a normal girl" and "wouldn't give her over to others, including her prince," who she surmised to be touga. while i'm sure utena meant well, her intention seemed rather naively misguided at best and patronising at worst. much like others, utena was also somewhat projecting her visions and ideals onto anthy, though utena herself wasn't aware of this yet. utena said all of those lines as she walked towards the phallic-shaped ohtori tower, which could serve as an imagery of how utena's pursuit and aims can easily spiral into her upholding and perpetuating the very system she strived to protect anthy from, a reenactment of the princely persona that had been hurting anthy for a long time.

in episode 37, it began with utena looking over the large window of her and anthy's room. she held the rose crest ring in her hand, and the accurate scenario of young utena and prince dios played in the background. utena echoed the end of prince dios' speech to herself and dropped the ring. the night before, she walked in on anthy and akio. it's possible that learning the true nature of their relationship brought back the correct version of utena's encounter with prince dios. at this point, she may have figured that akio was both prince dios and end of the world.

these parallels have been pointed out by other people before; i think the vague similarities between the two scenes could have reminded utena of the real sequence of events with regard to meeting prince dios; an unravelling of her repressed memories.

utena and anthy spent the episode somewhat avoiding each other, they weren't willing to broach the subject of that late night scene until near the end of the episode.

these three moments were when they gradually opened up to each other and talked about matters of their hearts. the moments of vulnerability reached a climax when anthy attempted suicide, which was stopped by utena, and in turn, led to one of the most vulnerable and honest moments the both of them shared with the other throughout the series.

compared to the moment they shared in episode 11, the post-suicide attempt moment (explored in episode 38) was genuine in that both utena and anthy laid their hearts bare to the other. by this time, utena had gained more perspective and understanding and was able to see and address her wrongs with regard to being complicit in worsening anthy's situation and pain. utena's care for anthy had also grown to be more earnest. her reason for playing the role of a prince was more sincere in episode 37 compared to episode 11. on the other hand, anthy was much more transparent here than in episode 11. she didn't hide her feelings "behind a thin veil" (something akio said in episode 19) or put on a facade. anthy opened her heart to utena, something that utena suggested to anthy in episode 11 so that anthy could make more friends. we could interpret that at this point (episode 37), anthy had accepted utena as someone she could rely on, someone she could turn to, someone who would allow her to be vulnerable: a friend. and of course, anthy had also come to sincerely and truly care for utena.

Mission Accomplished

Pairing: Soldier Boy x f!reader

Word count: 3.4k+

Summary: Ben and you can't stay in the same room without wanting to rip each other's hearts out. The Boys, tired of dealing with you, decide to take matters into their own hands by tricking you two into completing your most crucial mission yet— resolving your problems. One thing leads to another and you discover that there was an easier, much more enjoyable method to resolve everything between you all along. (I'm sorry I suck at summaries.)

Warnings: SMUT!!!! (18+), Enemies to Lovers, Soldier Boy being Soldier Boy, Dirty talk, oral (m+f rec), fingering, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it fellas), hate fucking!? (kind of), rough sex, swearing, choking, squirting, creampie.

a/n: this is my very first time writing smut. Not proofread, please pardon me for errors if any! I tried my best :')

I'd really appreciate if you could like, comment and/or reblog, it'll make me really happy <3

Being a Supe with extraordinary powers didn't mean you were ready to exploit people for clout, with how things were at Vought. So when Starlight and Hughie learnt that you declined Ashley's offer to have you join the Seven, they convinced you to join hands with The Boys to ensure that the arrogant liars claiming to be "Saviours of the World" got what they deserved. Despite feeling a bit unwelcome at first due to Butcher's distant behaviour, you quickly settled in and felt accepted, and connected to everyone in the team, everyone except the newest member to join forces with you all to help in taking down Homelander and others; Soldier Boy.

In the dimly lit room, stood Soldier Boy in his silk robe, a cigarette in one hand, one leg on the bed, the other supporting his weight on the floor; his back facing the door. Upon hearing a soft knock, he turned around with a smug grin on his face. He began,

"Well, hello there gorgeous! You've sure kept me waiting long enough for someone who made eager promises to choke on my dick."

Unamused, and somewhat disgusted by his comment, you shot him a stern look,

"I'm not here for your entertainment, I need to run a few tests on you. So it'll be nice if you'll please spare a few minutes before you run off to get your dick wet. We need to be sure that you're not going to explode and kill us all."

Soldier Boy's smirk echoed through his room as he eyed you with an amazed expression. Undeterred, he sauntered over to you, leaning in and mistaking your seriousness for a mere challenge.

"Sure. Whatever it is, let's get it over with. Maybe after this, you and I could-"

You cut him off with an icy glare

"Save the charm for someone who cares. I don't have time for this bullshit, we've a mission coming up."

From your very first meeting that started with a misunderstanding, it would've been an understatement to say that Soldier Boy annoyed every living cell in your body. You were both constantly arguing and bickering about something or the other, always at each other's throats.

Soldier Boy's deep, intimidating voice echoed through the room, your comment having hit a nerve.

"You know what, you're insufferable."

"At least I'm not stuck up." he shot back.

What should've been a meeting to discuss the upcoming mission, turned into yet another baseless argument between the two of you. Making your teammates uncomfortable with every passing moment. Hughie, Frankie, Kimiko and others exchanged uneasy glances as the tension thickened. You continued,

"I can't believe I've to be stuck with an unbearable asshole as you. Butcher I think I'm gonna skip this mission. Don't want us to end up in another mess like the last time."

At this point, it seemed like you were both minutes away from strangling each other. Soldier boy chuckled,

"Why, you're so intimidated by a real hero you want to hide away like a pussy?"

Eyebrows raised, you retorted, "Real hero!? More like a reckless liability. I've seen toddlers with better impulse control."

Sensing a storm brewing, Hughie spoke with a shaky voice, attempting to intervene and diffuse the situation. "Can we focus, guys? We have a mission-"

Your gaze never wavered from the supe. "I'll focus when he stops acting like he's better than everyone else. He is not the only one with superpowers here, he might be strong but he doesn't scare or intimidate me in the slightest."

Rolling his eyes, Soldier Boy muttered, "I wouldn't need to if you could follow a plan for once in your life."

Butcher commented shutting you all up "Oi. Enough! No one is backing out. You two should go fuck it out or something, whatever issues you stupid cunts have with each other. Don't need any fuck ups in the mission."

The tension spilled into the supposed battlefield, your bickering a dangerous undertone to the chaos around you. Clashing on missions, your mutual disdain fielding your actions, each vying to outdo the other. Yet beneath the surface, a spark lingered, an undeniable attraction that you both, despised and desired, but neither of you wanted to acknowledge.

On a particularly precarious mission, your incessant bickering almost jeopardized the entire operation.

Amidst the mayhem, you found yourself pinned down by one of the opponents, wounded and unable to use your powers, and Soldier boy reluctantly came to your rescue.

You grunted, "I didn't need your help."

He shot back, "Don't get used to it. I'm saving the mission, not your sorry ass."

Watching the scene unfold from a distance, your teammates exchanged knowing looks. After the mission, they decided they'd have enough, and decided to take matters into their own hands, realising that the unresolved tension between you two threatened not just personal dynamics but the success of missions itself.

On Butcher's suggestion, the team tricked the two of you into thinking there was another mission but instead locking you up in a safe house together,

"Sort this out, or we'll all end up as collateral damage."

warned Hughie before haphazardly shutting the door and leaving, forcing you to confront your issues, facing a choice: either talk and resolve the conflict or risk tearing each other apart. Silence filled the room. However, it was short lived.

Taking a deep breath, you plopped on the sofa across from where he sat and spoke as calmly as you could.

"Great, those little shits tricked us."

Soldier Boy scowled, "This is ridiculous. I don't need couple's therapy, I need a way out of here. I'm gonna beat the shit out of these fucknuts."

This made you roll your eyes and cross your arms. "Maybe if you weren't so intolerable, we wouldn't be stuck in this situation in the first place."

As another argument filled the space, the air in the small living room of the safe house shifted. Soldier Boy's tone somewhat softened, revealing a vulnerability he rarely showed.

"You think I enjoy being like this? Constantly on edge, wondering if I'll turn into a goddamn weapon."

You sighed, your defenses momentarily crumbling.

"I didn't sign up for this either, you know. Being a supe's babysitter wasn't in my job description."

As you bickered, underlying desire simmered beneath the surface. Soldier Boy's gaze lingered a moment too long, making a very visible flush rise in your cheeks.

A smug grin playing on his lips, as he said,

"You can't resist me, can you? Admit it, there's something between us, more serious than all this bickering. You know, I think you want me-"

You cut him off, but your voice wavered. "Keep dreaming, I still can't stand you." This remark gave rise to another banter.

"Don't get over yourself. I was only pulling your leg. You're insufferable."

Accusations started flying like daggers, each word cutting deeper than the last. You walked into the kitchen, grabbing a beer from the fridge, making your way back into the living room, catching him intently staring at you. Frustration morphed into a heated exchange of longing glances.

Tension crackled in the air, and just when it seemed the room might implode, his expression shifted.

He got up from the sofa, walking over to you, cornering you till your back hit the wall. He leaned in, his eyes darkening with a growing desire, his voice dropping to a low, almost conspiratorial tone.

"You know what? Maybe you're right. I can't stand you, because everytime I look at you, this is all I want to do."

You arched an eyebrow, caught off guard. "Wait, what?" But before you could process what was happening, his lips crashed against yours in a passionate kiss, making the beer bottle fall from your hands, effectively silencing any protests. You caught hold of the shirt he was wearing, kissing him back with equal fervour, savoring the moment as if it was a dream that would end all too soon. All your pent up anger and frustration showed up as the two of you desperately tore at each other clothes, never once breaking the kiss. A battle of tongues. He only pulled back for a second, with a sly grin on his face, his eyes dark, pupils dilated with glimmers of lust.

"There, no need to argue when we can do this instead. We should've figured this out sooner." Rubbing you over your panties with two of his fingers, he groaned.

"You're such a slut. So wet already and I haven't even touched you. You want to get railed till you can't walk, don't you?"

Before you had a chance to say anything, he reclaimed your lips in a hunger fuelled kiss. The room once filled with tension, now crackled with a different kind of energy. Pieces of both your clothings flew across the room. Soldier boy lifted you up and carried you to the small table in the kitchen and set you down hurriedly. The two of you continued to kiss while he rid you both of the remaining pieces of clothing. He kissed you like a mad man, biting and marking every inch of your skin he could in his desperate need to be close to you. Starting from your neck, moving to your tits, taking one nipple in his mouth, sucking and biting it while palming and squeezing the other roughly, then switching and doing the same to the other one. He moved back up to place another rough kiss to your lips, both of you moaning and biting each other's tongues and lips, intoxicated with the feeling of being so close. With an animalistic growl he parted, giving you a look so intense, it could scare the bravest of people.

"When you feel the need to scream, moan my name. Scream it as loud as you can."

With that he roughly nudged your legs apart as wide as they could go and dived right in, eating you out like man starved, licking and sucking your most sensitive parts like it was his last meal. You pulled his hair, legs shaking and trembling with pleasure. His gruff beard giving you a delicious burn, that would heal in no time. He started flicking your clit with his tongue and entered two of his fingers inside you, moving them in and out rapidly. When he added two more fingers, you lost it. Screaming his name and cumming all over his face, your legs wrapped around his head, making it impossible for him to move away.

"Fuck. Ben. I can't-"

you tried pulling away but he didn't stop even then, holding you down with his arms, making you cum two more times before finally deciding to let go. You were dazed in pleasure, but still wanted more. Jumping down the table, and on your knees, you made eye contact with him as you slowly took his long, thick and veiny cock in your hand, stroking him and giving a few kitten licks from the base to the tip and sucking off the beads of precum, moaning at the salty taste, making him groan. You then looked up at him, taking him as far as you could before pulling back again and asking him to fuck your face. He hesitated for a second but his resolve crumbled as soon as you opened your mouth, showing him you were waiting for him. He grabbed your head with both his hands and pushed himself into your mouth, roughly thrusting in and out again and again, moaning your name, cussing like a maniac. You could tell he was close, and then he held your head as close as possible, making you gag a little, his eyes closing, his head thrown back, as ropes of his cum shot down your throat.

In ragged breaths, he said "Be a good little slut and swallow it all."

As you did, you opened your mouth with your tongue out, showing no remnants of his release. He chuckled, pulling you up by your arms, surprising you with a softness in his gaze as he asked

"You sure you want to go further? If you don't, we'll stop right here and pretend this never happened-" you cut him off with an aggressive kiss "Fuck me as hard as you can. I won't break. Take all your frustrations out on me."

With that he smirked and rapidly turned you around, bending your back and shoving your face on the table with his hand, setting it for support right by your head. He entered you with one brutal thrust, making the both of you moan and groan loudly, not giving you a second to adjust as he started ramming his cock into you, hard and deep, his hips moving at an inhuman speed.

"That's it. This is what you wanted right? Now take it. I don't think I'm ever going to let you go after this. You feel so good. Gonna make you my personal little fuck toy. Such a perfect fit."

Hearing all the filth leave his mouth made you clench around him, making him throw his head back in pleasure, never once letting his pace falter.

"Ah you love this. I can tell by the way your tight pussy's choking my dick."

At this point, all rational thoughts had left your brain and all you could do was moan and revel in the pleasure he was giving you. One thing you knew for sure was that he had ruined everyone else for you. After a few moments he moved the hand on your back between your legs to rub your clit and you started screaming in pleasure, feeling yourself flying close to the edge. As soon as Ben realised how close you were, he pulled out and turned you around, lifting you on the table and onto your back, swiftly entering you again.

"I know you're close. I wanna see your face when you cum all over me."

He moved his hand back between your legs to rub your clit in circles, while his other hand moved to your neck, choking you, as he went back to thrusting at his original, rough pace. This new angle somehow making him go deeper than before, hitting that one spot that made you see stars.

"Fuck. I don't think I can last long either."

To that, you finally managed to say

"Cum with me."

which sounded more like a moan than a sentence. You both looked into each other's eyes, moaning, grabbing each other, raking your nails all over his gorgeous, broad shoulders, not breaking the eye contact once. After a particularly hard thrust, you felt a funny sensation, one that you have rarely ever felt, only while pleasing yourself and before you knew, you screamed and started squirting your release, coming undone while Ben kept thrusting into you.

"Oh yes. Fuck. That's so hot baby. Cum all over me. I don't think I'll ever get enough of the look on your face right now. I think I've finally managed to shut you up, fucked your brains out. Fuck I'm cumming."

His thrusts grew frantic, and much harder than before, kissing you roughly, your teeth clashing, and he finally slammed his hips into yours one last time, holding your hips so tight, you were sure you would bruise for atleast a few hours, despite your super healing abilities. Groaning and grunting in his deep voice as thick ropes of his cum filled you to the brim, triggering yet another release out of you, making you squirt even more. He collapsed on top of you, careful that he wasn't crushing you with his weight.

The two of you stayed like that, entangled with each other for a few minutes, trying to catch your breath, before he slowly pulled out of you, making you both wince at the sudden loss. As he walked to the living room, "That was it" you thought, a one time rendezvous with Soldier Boy that might have either helped you two or made things worse. He sauntered back in with a towel in hand, towards the sink to wet it, also filling up a glass of water and quietly walking to you, cleaning you up without a word, handing the glass for you to drink. Taking it from him, you looked at him mumbled a soft "thank you", getting down the table, you nudged him to walk out with you, sitting down on the couch and covering yourself with a blanket, while he picked up his surprisingly untorn boxers, putting them on and sitting next to you, making you turn to face him. You both understood you needed to talk about what had just happened.

The shared realisation that the animosity between you two that had led to this impulsively passionate encounter, had somewhere blurred the lines between desire and hate.

Ben began to say "Look, about earlier... I didn't mean half the things I said."

You replied "What? You didn't mean it when you said you want to kiss me and do other filthy things to me everytime you see me?"

Taken aback, with a raised eyebrow and confused express Ben said, "Oh no, no lies there. I've wanted you from the moment I saw you."

You cut him off saying "I know, I was just pulling your leg. I've felt the same way about you. Your reputation preceded you and it made me crazy knowing I still wanted you."

He replied, "I think we let our tempers get the best of us." sighing, he continued "I care about you more than I let on."

Which made you sigh in response. "Then why do you never act like it? Making me think of you as a douche who loves berating me?"

Ben ran his fingers through his hair. "I guess I feel scared. Scared of how much of a hold you have had on me from the very beginning. It made me feel like a fool at times, I thought the only way I could supress these feelings were by acting like an asshole towards you. I'm really sorry."

Your gaze softened, "I'm really sorry too, my behaviour towards you hasn't been any better either." You continued, "I thought we were destined to be enemies. I don't hate you, I never did. I just wanted you to see the person I am beyond the righteous supe everyone else sees."

Ben slowly took your hands in his, making you look into his eyes. "Now I see you more than I ever thought I would. Maybe.. maybe there's something more here."

You replied, "Maybe there is. What happens now?"

To which he said "We talk. Like normal people. No more running away or avoiding things and arguing for no reason. We figure out where we stand, one step at a time, together."

You smiled, nodding your head. "Agreed. No more hiding how we feel. Besides, I guess I like this way of solving our issues much more." Which made him chuckle and pull you into his arms, staring at you intently, pressing his lips to yours.

Back at the Flatiron building, Hughie sat at his table across from Frenchie, fidgeting with his cup. "I'm worried. What do you think? Will they make up or kill each other?"

Butcher entered the room, a smirk plastered over his face "I'm pretty sure they are fucking like rabbits back there." And boy, was he right.

The two of you went multiple rounds, thanks to your super stamina, christening every possible surface of the safe house. From the couch, to the bedroom and the floor, and the shower too. You had both awoken a hunger, only the other could satiate.

"Now that we're not at each other's throats for the wrong reasons, I think maybe, we'd make a good team after all."

Said Ben, holding you close, running smooth circles on along your arms, with the two of you lying on the bed, tired and basking in the afterglow. You smiled, turning to face him. "We'll have to see about that, you might just be right. For now, I can't believe I'm saying this but I need sleep, we both do. You've worn me out completely."

He chuckled, tightening his arms around you, placing a soft kiss to your forehead and lips, and the two of you drifted off to sleep, feeling content in each other's embrace.

It was a start of a connection and understanding that arose from the most unexpected places, even amidst the chaos of a world filled with superhumans and the fight for good. Fiery exchanges and whispered confessions bringing in an unexpected depth to your dynamic, proving that there can be a fragile, pure connection between two polar opposites. Serendipity, often painted as an unusual force, interweaves with fate, guiding people towards love where they're least expecting to find it.

Your story a testament to the unpredicted twists of the heart, proving that even the fiercest adversaries can find redemption in each other's arms.

a/n: Finished watching Season 3 of 'The Boys' just a few days ago and let me just put this out here, Jensen as Soldier Boy is one of the best things to ever happen to this world. Oh! the things I'd let this man do to me-

Been planning this fic for a week now, I really hope y'all enjoyed reading as much as I did writing this.

I'd really appreciate if you'd comment any thoughts, improvements, suggestions or requests that you have! Thank you ^_^

The "Yugi twins situation" is NOT incestuous

I'll just analyze stuff people used to "prove" the opposite of this, as someone with a close (PLATONIC!!!) relationship with a sibling

I'll just get straight to the point

This scene is NOT incestuous. They hadn't seen each other for DECADES, it makes sense that Tsukasa reached out to touch Amane - usually if you can't believe you're seeing someone you reach for their face, no? And he just moved his head up (+ the つ (translated as "rub" could just be his hand moving and could be a translation error. Like the "ah…" from Amane, he says "つー" (Tsu) which would've probably been him calling out for Tsukasa)

Also Amane was blushing because he WAS ABOUT TO FUCKING CRY??? IT'S NORMAL TO GET RED WHEN YOU CRY??? That's basic knowledge I fear

He'd seen his brother after AGES, AFTER HE KILLED HIM. I WOULD'VE HAVE CRIED TOO IF I WERE HIM Y'ALL HE'S CRUSHED BY GUILT, GRIEF AND IS HAPPY TO SEE HIS BROTHER AGAIN

I also think that if the scene was supposed to have some incestuous undertones, Tsukasa wouldn't have moved his thumb back.

Someone said this

I believe it doesn't have incestuous undertones for three reasons:

1. He had a dreamy and hopeful face in both cases. Usually, when characters dream of doing anything, even eating a cake or something like that, the artist adds blush to make the desire stronger. Tsukasa's desires were just having fun with his brother at a festival, something COMPLETELY PLATONIC, and knowing that his brother genuinely cares about him (another COMPLETELY PLATONIC thing driven by a sense of insecurity that he got because of how grumpy Amane was while sick. He wanted to hear his brother say "I love you" (PLATONICALLY) for the last time. It's less ambiguous in the Italian version because it's "Amane, tu mi vuoi bene?" which can only be seen as platonic (voler bene is platonic, amare romantic))

2. He looks cuter blushing. He's a child, children are supposed to be cute. He looks depressed without the blush in the first image 💀💀

See? He's cuter with the blush

3. He blushes for like 90% of the time. It makes him cuter, more childlike, he's FOUR YEARS OLD. The blush disappears when the drawing is too small for it to be added, when he's supposed to be confused, scary/creepy or serious.

This part fucking hell. Y'all do not know how four year olds think, do you?? Let me enlighten you

To the four year old Tsukasa, you either love or hate someone. No in between. He isn't talking about romantic love, he's talking about caring about someone, usually deeply. He means the platonic kind of love, it's all he knows. Nene reacted that way because she's 15, to her "love" is the romantic kind of love and she's in love with Hanako, same with Kou - they're teenagers who learnt that romantic and platonic love are different. Tsukasa doesn't know. He loves Amane in a platonic, brotherly way and thinks Nene loves his brother in the same exact way, like every other 4 year old would've assumed

(I reached the max of images :(( I meant the part where Tsukasa asks Nene if she loves Amane and says they're the same after she says she does, her mistaking it as romantic love and him taking it as platonic. Mb guys I'm new to Tumblr)

For the pose where the early manga showed us how Amane supposedly killed Tsukasa: it's not suggestive in any way. It just looks like Amane pushed Tsukasa down, stabbed him and that his knees gave out after he noticed he actually did what he did because of the wave of guilt and grief he felt (he even dropped the knife)

That's all I can think of atm :D

If you have any questions about this, ask ahead and I'll answer them!! I'm ready to answer

And sorry if I sounded a bit pissed off, but I am. I'm so sick of people misunderstanding sibling love lolol if you ship them go fuck yourself and do not talk to me, do not even breathe the same air as me I hate you and you're a disappointment to humanity

[jjenthusee]

hi, jj! this is kal HAHAHAH this is not a headcanon but maybe a one shot idea? but whatever HAHAHAH i just want to read your thoughts/ if by the good grace of the universe you'll write about it HAHAHAH:

mama!reader x papa! jason. in which their kid got injured but jason wasn't around so reader needed to sort everything out of her and when jay arrived:

‎“It's okay, sweetheart. I'm here. I'm sorry. You're so so strong, momma." — Jason

ASGSUWHXNSDKSHSHSUSIFHSJSYDFH

sorry this took so long to reply 😭 i was busy with the birthday event and the good responses then i was having a crisis after that so my bad

but a parent!reader would be so interesting! I can picture them as maybe having a kid before Jason? I like the same idea as Jason being good with Lian and then he becomes really close with Reader’s child as well.

Hear me out.

Maybe Reader and their child lives down the hall from Roy and Lian in the same apartment complex, it’s a chance encounter that they meet Roy’s family because they are moving in and (being the good dad Roy is) he wants Lian to make a friend!

They have a couple play dates and then Jason arrives! Maybe he needs a pick me up from a bad patrol day and then there’s a sadly another bad encounter on his way in with Reader by themselves. Maybe they hit each other on the way in by accident and then they misunderstand the accidental bump as something more harsh from the other

What’s their deal?

Geez how can he be so rude?

then they see each other again and BEHOLD hes with Roy’s family for their weekly play date!

The cute jerk from earlier? With their kids friends dad? (idk if it would be funny that maybe Reader mistakes Roy and Jason being together and they say “ur husband smashed my shoulder when i was taking the moving boxes to the recycling” and Roy is like MY HUSBAND?!?!? a funny misunderstanding if u ask me BAHAHA)

It’s a trial and error of learning to balance being a parent then meeting Jason and there’s a connection, something solid forming and the Reader fighting with the obstacle of finally putting some of their needs first!

Do they pursue him or should they wait and keep it safe as only platonic?

Then before they make a decision they leave the decision for another time OR the injury incident happens, their kid ends up getting hurt at school.

They get a call, but their landlord also told them on their way to rush out that their apartment was having complaints/issues that maybe a noisy neighbor won’t let them live in peace.

Then Jason shows up in the middle of the talk and he see them visibly overwhelmed, but his presence doesn’t help as he intended it to. Why? Because parent!Reader was trying to decide what that line was between them? Lovers? Friends?

They were avoiding the decision but what happens when they see the decision walk in at the worst time possible?

Their appearance of being a put together parent is falling apart and Reader is doing everything to keep it together but then it costs them really damaging their own needs and Jason can’t watch it happen.

He helps handle the child injury (his expertise ofc because what hasn’t he healed from), he takes care of the neighbor complaints. A large muscular man standing in ur doorway asking about a problem? Now all of a sudden the neighbor no longer has any.

A warm meal, a patched up child, now a resting parent on the couch? Jason sits on the edge of the cushion, maybe putting a gentle hand on them, but he leaves before he can even THINK about staying.

On his way out he encounters Roy, he side eyes Jason leaving THEIR apartment.

And Roy just smiles.

okay that was at the top of my head, but this was interesting! I might want to write this one 😎🤭💐 sorry again for the late response and the yap session HAHA

→ Pairing: Choi Seungcheol x Y/n

→ Summary: Just some angst including Cheol, Y/n.

→ Author's note: Hey guys, this is the first time I'm posting something for others to read so I'm sorry if it's not that good, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to writing. English is also not my first language so excuse me if there are any grammar errors or mistakes. I hope anyone who reads it likes it.

I would appreciate some feedback and/or constructive criticism. Thank you :)

HYBE’s office is alive with the usual commotion as idols and staff move through their routines. As Enhypen’s global representative, you navigate the chaos with practiced ease, your mind perpetually occupied with schedules, meetings, and plans. Yet, amidst all this, there’s always an awareness of Seungcheol’s presence, a constant, painful reminder.

It’s been twelve months since the accident, twelve agonizing months since Seungcheol forgot everything about your shared past. Each day, you see him, and each day, he looks right through you. It's a silent torture, made worse by the fact that he notices your interactions with his bandmates but never with him. He must think you're rude, or worse, indifferent. The truth is far more painful: you can’t look at him and pretend you don’t know him because he can’t remember, and you can’t forget.

Today is no different. As you move through the hallway, you see Seungcheol approaching with Seungkwan and Hoshi. Your heart lurches painfully, and you quickly turn to take a different path, hoping to avoid him once more.

But your plan fails. They turn the corner just as you do, and you’re forced into an awkward, unavoidable encounter. You keep your eyes fixed ahead, pretending not to notice them, but you can feel Seongcheol's gaze burning into you.

"Hey, Y/N," Seungkwan greets warmly, his voice breaking through your resolve. "How’s it going?"

You muster a smile. "Busy as always, Seungkwan."

Hoshi grins. "When are you not busy?"

Before you can respond, Seungcheol steps forward, a frown on his face. "Do you have a problem with me?" he asks bluntly, his voice cool.

You freeze, his words cutting through you like a knife. "What?"

"You always seem to avoid me," he continues, his tone hard. "Did I do something to offend you?"

Seungkwan and Hoshi exchange uncomfortable glances, sensing the tension.

You swallow hard, forcing yourself to meet his gaze. "It's not like that," you say quietly, though your voice trembles with the effort.

"Then what is it?" he demands, frustration and confusion evident in his eyes. "Everyone else seems to get along with you, but you treat me like I don’t exist."

"It's complicated," you whisper, the words barely audible.

He scoffs, shaking his head. "It doesn't have to be."

The weight of his misunderstanding crushes you, the pain of knowing he’ll never remember your past together overwhelming. "You wouldn't understand," you say, your voice breaking.

Tears blur your vision, and you turn away, unable to bear his piercing gaze any longer. Seungkwan and Hoshi try to diffuse the situation, but their words fade into the background as you walk away, your heart shattering anew.

From that day on, Seungcheol's behavior toward you grows colder and ruder. Each encounter is a new wound, his resentment clear. He thinks you're avoiding him out of spite, but you can’t explain the real reason.

One day, needing a moment of peace, you find yourself on the terrace of the HYBE building. The cool air offers a brief respite from the turmoil inside. You hear the door open and turn to see Seungcheol stepping out, his expression conflicted.

"Y/N," he starts, his voice softer than it’s been in months. "I don’t want to bother you, but there's just something about you. I need you to listen to me."

You look away, the ache in your chest intensifying.

"I’m sorry if my past self was rude to you," he continues, his voice trembling slightly. "I just... I feel like there's something important I’m missing. Please, give me a chance to make things right. Let’s start again."

Your heart breaks at his words, the sincerity in his voice cutting through your defenses. But you know it’s too late for fresh starts. You take a deep breath, steeling yourself.

"I'm relocating to HYBE Japan," you say flatly, forcing the words out without emotion. "I leave next week."

His face falls, shock and devastation clear in his eyes. "What? Why?"

"It’s for the best," you reply, your voice hollow. "There’s nothing left for me here."

He takes a step towards you, desperation etched on his face. "Please, Y/N, don’t go. I... I need to understand. I need to make things right."

You shake your head, tears threatening to spill. "Goodbye, Seungcheol."

You turn and walk away, leaving him standing alone on the terrace. As the door closes behind you, you hear his anguished cry, the sound ripping through your heart.

Seungcheol falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Please, God," he whispers, his voice breaking. "Let me remember. Let me remember everything so I can fix this. So everything can go back to normal."

But the memories don’t come, and he’s left alone with his sorrow, the weight of lost time pressing down on him. You’re gone, and all he can do is beg for a past he can’t recall, for a chance to reclaim the love that once defined his world.

[marshmallowprotection]

I've been questioning this for a long time...

When Suit Saeran is talking, so to speak, to V in the garden on the 9th, Suit angrily tells him that he had abandoned him to which V replies that it was Saeran who abandoned him. I think V says something like this "It was you who abandoned me" I don't know, it just makes me cringe every time I read this sentence, but I just can't explain to myself why V would say something like that?

Okay a lot of things happened, mistakes and misunderstandings but isn't it so blatant of V to say that to Saeran? (V knew that Rika had taken Saeran and did nothing to go after him during all that time).

Is there something I'm not seeing, is there a reason behind those words, what does V mean when he points to Saeran as the one who abandoned him? I'm going on the side that it's a script error or something unless if there is an explanation. I don't get it, sorry haha.

To preface this, I don't think you should take anything you read when it comes to specific lore like this in the literal sense. They are known to change things after the fact in this game and the rest of us have to work to piece it together to make sense of it. The story of how Saeran was brought to Mint Eye changes depending on where you are in the game.

In the diary, Saeran is kidnapped by some of Rika's guards on the street and brought to Mint Eye on his way home from the Cathedral. He's tortured countless ways in Mint Eye until the pain becomes too much to handle and Ray awakes in response.

[Check out Saeran's Diary in this post.]

That is the canon we are supposed to follow in this situation, ignoring anything that might have been shared in the casual and deep routes up until this point. Because, there are bits and pieces in those other routes imply that he might have gone along with Rika willingly, that he might’ve been the one to kill his mother instead of Rika, and that he might’ve had more time with Rika and V than what we see shown.

I have my own thoughts on those theories, but I digress. In the diary, when he gets kidnapped, he mentions two specific instances that're meant to correlate to this. Before he’s kidnapped, he finds Rika in the church, taking his photo off the wall of children that are members of the church. Whatever conversation he has with her is definitely off but he tries not to think much of it.

It's not long after that that he's followed home by a strange group of people, and he thinks it's his father coming after him, only to realize that those people don't work for his dad in the midst of the isolation he's put in at Mint Eye before he's brought to Rika in the basement. 

It's further developed in the After Ending by building on what's in the diary. Saeran spent most of his time at the church when not trapped at home with his mother. He didn't have a lot of one-on-one based interaction with most of the adults at the church, and what little time he did have with them, it wasn't spent fostering any sort of familial relationship. He says himself that he doesn't really view Rika or V as parents. I’d argue that Saeyoung does / did, but that’s not the case for Saeran. 

So, I do believe it's possible that if we follow this line of thinking that is given to us from the diary and the game, V was meant to meet with Saeran some time after Rika had him kidnapped and he didn’t show up. 

My problem with this specific set of information is that we are missing a lot of crucial details to round out this situation. Mother Choi was killed by Rika in self-defense, Jihyun was there with her and they had to “take care of it”.

Saeran wasn’t home during this altercation, obviously, but my main question is: where in the world was he staying if he wasn’t living with Rika and V? Rika and V talked Mother Choi into letting him attend the cathedral classes. I can only imagine that the church was letting him stay there overnight now and again.

That is the only thing that makes sense to me at this point in time with what information that's been given to me. It's the only thing that makes sense with the information they've given us, but there are a lot of holes in this because Cheritz is not that good at communicating between writing teams as these things are created as there are a lot of plot holes that pop up that shouldn’t be there.

I will admit they did a lot to make it cohesive, but there are a few holes here and there that haunt me to this day. This would explain why when Saeran tried to run home and found police tape at the scene, Jihyun had all the reason to pull him away from the crime scene and cover everything up. Saeran might’ve wanted to see his mother after staying at the church, and V couldn’t say no, so that’s how that happened. 

But, my main problem with him being kidnapped stems from the fact that he was trying to leave the cathedral and go home that day those believers got him, a home that should've been impossible for him to go to because his mother was no longer there and the police would have been scouring the area for him. Certainly they would not have allowed him to continue staying in that house given what happened there. 

Rika and V were at odds after Mother Choi's death as well. That was Rika's breaking point, her point of no return as seeing herself as the devil who cannot be saved, so at least, that explains why Rika and V had no communication between them which led to Saeran being all by himself in this situation to get kidnapped to begin with. I wonder sometimes if V assumed Rika would keep her promise and still look after Saeran while he was away, likely hunting for information to do what he could to ruin Saejoong Choi's career, and that's why he was the one who said: "Saeran, you left me."

I don't think V knew it was Rika who took Saeran at first, but it would not take much for him to start putting the pieces together given what we know.

He had to spend a lot of time figuring out where she was, where she took him, and what she was doing in the mountains. There is so much information we are not given in this game about Rika and V at the end of their relationship and the start of Mint Eye. There is so much there that could help us create a more cohesive understanding of this situation, and while I will admit that Rika Behind fills in a lot of these holes, I’m left wondering more and more every day with what I wasn’t told. 

I don't think that was the best choice of words, even if he pieced together the truth of the situation there was no reason to say that Saeran left him, but V is not one to use the best language even when he's trying his best to help. I mean, after all, he definitely didn't make himself look good at the beginning of Ray Route.

He kept pushing for Ray to listen to him, begging and pleading in a way that certainly made him, and the RFA by extension, look bad. In universe, at that moment, even if you have doubts about Mint Eye's goals and the truth behind the RFA, you see something that would make anyone doubtful.

Who would you believe in that situation? Ray lied to you about Mint Eye and the RFA, but he also warned you that V and Seven were horrible, horrible people. You might be rightfully upset with him, but when V shows up and Ray has a panic attack, what does that look like? What do you think about someone who has a presence that sends somebody into a downward spiral?

You don't have enough time to process all of what V’s saying, you just see Ray huddled over in pain. This isn't the last time his language isn't the best in his attempt to save Ray and Saeran. But, the true intent is there, it's just his execution and dialogue that end up being messy. V is a character who can be best described as the path paved to hell is made with good intentions. 

That being said, I wish I could give you an exact answer, but unfortunately, I can't give you an answer when even I don't have the slightest idea how to frame this situation outside of what I've told you here. This is one of those things where you're just going to have to draw your own conclusion or rip your hair out.

That's so true. It's so right off the tongue.

[albenyx]

Hello im not sure if u are accepting request but huhu i hope there's thoma and ayato ver of that "love made me crazy"❤❤ i loveeee ur work!!!!! Tyyyyy

Love made me crazy

characters — ayato, thoma x fatui!reader

warnings: not proofread, grammatical errors, slight angst if u squint, also probably sucks and ayato is probs ooc

note: yes hello!! thank you for loving my work i try<33 thank you for the request as well bc omg i was just thinking about these two and i hope this meets your expectations sob

part one (diluc & kaeya)

stupid. that's what they felt, something was off about you that they knew, but they thought you'd be different

that you'd be gentle with their heart, making sure to take care of it. But you were here, in front of them, with a sword that's probably going to be used to assassinate them.

betrayal was something they weren't new to, they were aware it's possible to happen, how foolish of them to think that someone would love them for them— wait..

are you pointing your weapon in front of your own allies..?

— AYATO

ayato knew the moment you approached him there was a catch, amused by your confidence to approach the yashiro commissioner himself, he thought it wouldn't hurt to humor you HAH HE THOUGHT

getting side tracked with his goal, he in fact fell in love with you during the process of gaining your trust in exchange for his. it wasn't his intention, he just couldn't help it, you were incredible in his eyes, and so he fell for you.

that was a mistake, a huge mistake in his part, because here you stand in front of him with fatui agents behind you. betrayed, you betrayed him he thinks, noticing how you had a strong grip on your weapon

funny.. and here i thought i could trust you.

"[name] How could you-!" one of the guards that accompanied the commissioner speaks before pausing hesitantly "not to worry, i'll handle it." ayato murmurs to them, pulling out his sword

"what you did is certainly unforgivable, and i will not tolerate such dirty behavior even if you are— were my lover."

"i'm afraid you're gonna have to forgive me on this one, ayato."

just as ayato put his emotions to the side and prepared himself for a battle between the two of you, he finds himself dumbfounded at the scene of you pointing your weapon towards your allies with a dark look on your face

an agent attempts to strike you, and you barely managed to dodge the attack as you were pointing your weapon on another agent, and that's when a fight had began in front of the commissioner who looked like he was still processing the situation

he instantly snaps out of it at the sound of two weapons clashing, ayato sees you holding your weapon with both hands as an agent attempts to choke you with their own weapon that had ayato commanding the guards with him to assist you, before he himself comes to your rescue.

"thank you"

"i'd like an explanation later"

— THOMA

thoma never saw this coming, you looked so innocent, and so open that he never expected you to be one of the fatui never judge a book by its cover, sorry

but you stood there in front of him with a look on your face that he had never seen before was it all a lie? am I that stupid?

he wanted, he begged the archons that this was just a misunderstanding and that you weren't preparing your weapon to attack him, he hoped that there was a reason, a good one or that you were blackmailed into doing this

though as much as thoma would like to lie to himself about the situation, you were there, this is real, everything that's happening right now is real.

"[name]?" thoma could only stare at you disappointingly, scanning your face for any signs of fear, or explanation but you seemed unreadable as you turned to look away

he notices your grip on your weapon, tense, you're tense he realises and he couldn't feel any more relieved when you swing your sword to an agent attempting a surprise attack that almost backfired as a shield appears

looking towards Thoma you see him look at you in relief, before he runs towards you while signaling to the guards (that had been standing the whole time thoma processed the situation) to assist you both

"thank archons! you're—"

"yes I know, i'm sorry sunshine. but I'll explain myself after this okay?"

[baki-tiene-un-simp]

Could you do Hanayama ,katsumi,retsu ,baki , and Jack with their s/o who doesn’t speak at all and is kinda of scared of the boys so they shy away when asking they approach the shy s/o . And their reaction to how scared their s/o is but the s/o is actually really sweet just scared of them hurting her/him.

My imagination was only enough for three, I'm sorry :C

Situation: Baki's boys with an S/O who is afraid of other men and is very shy/Los chicos de Baki con un S/O que teme a otros hombres y es muy timido.

Character: Baki Hanma, Jack Hanma and Kaoru Hanayama.

Baki Hanma.

Baki noticed the unusual behavior of his S/O when they weren't a couple yet, the first time he spoke to them he saw them startle a little -very- exaggeratedly.

After formalizing their seemed more comfortable around him, so he guessed it was just nerves from the first time. Mistake! Because as soon as they found another man the S/O of him jumped behind him for cover.

He must admit that the first few times it happened, he believed that people had hurt his partner, so he would get angry, then his own S/O explained to him what was really going on.

Knowing the whole situation, he will serve as an intermediary between his partner and the other men until they feel calm enough to speak and interact on their own.

He will justify their actions so that people don't misunderstand, he will respond to people's proposals to S/O him and from time to time he will goad them to speak as long as they feel good about it.

Jack Hanma.

Jack must have confused the fear of his future S/O for men when he met them, he assumed that only he was intimidating because of his height.

After realizing that they acted fearful around any man, his curiosity is piqued.

He will try to make them feel comfortable, like using a regular low tone of voice, keeping him company and so on, that supports the future relationship.

At some point his S/O tells him what's going on and that he'd like to stop being afraid, Jack agrees to give them a hand with it of course.

He will serve as a protective wall for his partner, but he will always try to involve them in conversations, he is not very talkative either but he will make an effort.

Kaoru Hanayama.

If Hanayama's future S/O is afraid of men, it will be a bit difficult for them to get together, but we know that this great man is a loyal person and that he will not hurt anyone just because, so in the end the relationship will be will give through confidence and security.

Hanayama may have thought that his S/O was only intimidated by his looks, but long before they formalized their relationship he noticed those unusual behaviors around any other man.

He will deduce it and maneuver so that the one in love with him understands that by his side them is safe, that neither Hanayama he nor anyone else will harm them.

He does not force the interaction of his partner with others, when his partner wants to talk to other men it will be because of their own idea, not on his part.

He will also be there to support them and calm them down if needed.

Versión en Español

Baki Hanma.

Baki noto el inusual comportamiento de su S/O cuando aún no eran pareja, la primera vez que le hablo le vio sobresaltarse un poco -muy- exageradamente.

Después de formalizar parecía más cómodo a su alrededor, por lo que supuso que solo eran los nervios de la primera vez. ¡Error! Porque tan pronto se encontraron a otro hombre su S/O salto detrás de él en busca de protección.

Debe admitir que las primeras veces que paso creyó que las personas habían lastimado a su pareja, por lo que se enojaba, después su propio S/O le explico lo que pasaba realmente.

Ya sabiendo toda la situación servirá como intermediario entre su pareja y los demás hombres hasta que se sienta lo suficientemente en calma para hablar e interactuar por su propio pie.

Justificará sus acciones para que las personas no malentiendan, responderá ante las propuestas de la gente a su S/O y de vez en cuando le incitará a hablar siempre y cuando se sienta bien con ello.

Jack Hanma.

Jack habrá confundido el miedo de su futuro S/O por los hombres cuando le conoció, supuso que solo él le resultaba intimidante por su altura.

Luego de darse cuenta de que actuaba temeroso al rededor de cualquier hombre le pica la curiosidad.

Tratará de hacerle sentir cómodo, como usar un tono de voz regularmente bajo, hacerle compañía y demás, eso apoya a la futura relación.

En algún punto su S/O le cuenta lo que pasa y que le gustaría dejar de sentir miedo, Jack acepta darle una mano con ello, por supuesto.

Él servirá como muro protector para su pareja, pero siempre tratara de involucrarles en las conversaciones, tampoco es muy hablador pero hará un esfuerzo.

Kaoru Hanayama.

Si el futuro S/O de Hanayama teme a los hombres pues será un tanto difícil que se junten, pero sabemos que este gran hombre es una persona leal y que no lastimara a nadie solo porque sí, así que al final de cuentas la relación se dará por medio de confianza y seguridad.

Hanayama habrá pensado que su S/O solo se intimidó por su aspecto, pero mucho antes de formalizar su relación notara esos inusuales comportamientos al rededor de cualquier otro hombre.

Lo deducirá y maniobrará para que su enamorado entienda que a su lado esta a salvo, que ni él mismo Hanayama ni nadie le hará daño.

No fuerza la interacción de su pareja con los demás, cuando su pareja quiera hablar con otros hombres será por su propia idea, no por su parte.

Igualmente estará allí para apoyarle y calmarle en caso de que se necesite.

[therianimal]

How would you describe the unspoken etiquette of Otherkind/Therian groups and servers. What unspoken rules do you notice that we all follow?

Hi Anon, sorry for the wait! As someone who has been a member of a pretty small number of groups (one forum, Amino and tumblr mostly) I don't feel like I'm the perfect person to answer this. I’ll also admit that many of the groups I’ve been a part of have been therian-centric, so I apologize if my examples lean in that direction. Regardless, I'll try my best! :)

In most groups that I've been a part of, terminology has been viewed as *incredibly* important. What labels you use affect how others perceive you in a major way, and misusing language is subconsciously viewed as reflecting poorly on a person's character. On the first forum I joined people would angrily jump to correct others when they said they "identified with" their theriotype, even in cases where they clearly understood the concepts involved and the error was just a simple mis-type. Oftentimes specific language is viewed as completely equivalent to the concepts they describe, so it’s assumed that someone who says “with” by accident doesn’t understand kintypes vs. heart-types. In some cases ideas like “kin is not a verb” are actually relevant to community conflicts; but when someone who says “I ID as a wolf” is assumed to take their otherkinity less seriously than someone who says “I identify as a wolf”, I feel like it’s getting far too nitpicky. In my experience the easiest way for newcomers to fit in is to make sure they have the terminology down pat, ideally before making any major posts that would draw attention. Posting “Hi, I’m Blue and I kin wolves!” on a forum is about the worst faux pas you could possibly make. Caring about language is not completely a bad thing - I agree that having a common language helps aid communication and avoid misunderstandings. However, I also think that some people (and some groups, overall) are too obsessed, judgmental and way too eager to police "mistakes" in a way that alienates newcomers.

I've noticed that groups in the therian and otherkin communities (and wider alterhuman community as well) tend to involve more anonymity and less picture sharing than many other communities. A lot of us reside on forums, tumblr, and Discord, none of which necessitate using our legal name or posting pictures of ourselves - although we're not strictly forbidden to do the latter. I don't have it in me to psychoanalyze why this is the case, but when you consider how popular visual social media sites like Instagram and TikTok are it seems that our community has a somewhat uncommon tendency.

I've also noticed that we tend to "look up" to or "look down" at other members. Forums frequently establish certain members as "more important" or "more experienced" via point systems and roles, and these people are deferred to and treated with extra respect. It's easy to start feeling intimidated by graymuzzles and people who are more active and well-known in the community. On the other hand, some long-established members (though not all of course) look down on members who are newcomers, who are confused/misusing terminology or who lack social authority, in a patronizing and judgmental way. This is by no means unusual, but it's interesting to see how even within nonhuman groups so-called "human nature" and human-like social behavior persists.

Another expectation is to have a bio (or carrd) that checks off certain typical points. These vary from community to community, but on tumblr they tend to be: Your name, age, pronouns, overall labels (otherkin, therian, fictionkin, otherhearted, etc.), a list of your ‘types, a DNI, a collection of important non-community labels (especially sexuality, gender, and mental health related), and stances on community discourse topics. When I was on the Therian Guide forums they liked you to explain your pre-awakening past as well as your shifting experiences in your bio. None of this is bad or good and a bio pretty much par for the course on social media, but it can lead to an awkward situation - especially in stricter communities - if you’re uncomfortable sharing any of the expected info, or if you are N/A in certain categories (for example I don’t really have an extensive pre-awakening past or childhood experiences because I’m a pluran that’s only existed in my system for a few years).

I will say that this small circle of tumblr is far less toxic than other communities I’ve been in previously, so these following points don’t apply much on here:

In some online groups there is this implicit belief that you have to prove your validity as an otherkin/therian to others before being permitted to socially connect and share your experiences. When you interact with these communities online you supposedly “owe” people explanations, as if your process of self-definition belongs to the group. As has been criticized and expounded upon by many before me, grilling is the norm in some circles. There are also expectations that you will have certain experiences and fit under certain labels - for example that your identity is permanent, that you were born this way (or at least have been for as long as you can remember), that you are nonhuman for either a psychological or spiritual reason (not both or undetermined), that you experience shifts, that you experience the “identify as” and “identify with” differentiation in a clear way, that you use all of the specific terminology that’s embraced by the group, that (if you are spiritual) you have kin memories, that you have memories going back to early childhood (if you don’t this may be a “phase” and you’re not really otherkin), that you go through an extensive analytical process to discover your kintype, that your identity is 100% involuntary, and that you have answers to a large array of questions (if you say “I don’t know” your identity is suspect). The specific expectations may vary - the above apply in many but not all groups. One of the reasons I’m sticking around on this platform is that it’s free from a lot of that bullshit - it seems like a lot of us on here have been around in the wider community for quite a while and are jaded and tired of the expectations we’ve dealt with elsewhere.

Anyway, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. I’m not sure if I answered the question perfectly since I’m bad with broad questions, but I hope it’s sufficient Anon!

❀ — REQUESTING RULES

as far as i know, i’m already sure you know this is a sfw blog so i would appreciate if you also avoid requesting any nsfw content. if you're requests contains something very suggestive i won't write it

there will be no limitation for the number of characters you had requested for when it’s a headcanon, but i can’t guarantee that it will be written and finished immediately as soon as possible. although for prompts i can only take one character

i won’t write any topic that contains very dark content/themes, can be very triggering and can also be personal (s*lf harms, ab*se, in*st, p*dophillia, r*pe, tr*umas and etc.)

i don't write for poly relationships (i'm sorry)

genres that i will write: casual, fluff, hurt/comfort, crack, slice of life, au and angst with happy endings (i apologize if it disappointed you i won’t right heavy angst, i just can’t and i suck at writing very angsty endings)

for an au, i write for modern, apocalypse, highschool or any idea that you have in mind (just no angst ending again please). i sadly won’t write for other fandoms since i’m not good with handling more than one fandom, but if i will in the future it might be in a side blog or a new blog

if you send a request but it seems that it hasn’t been posted yet, it can fall between two things. it’s either still in this blog’s drafts or i deleted it because i don’t know how will i be able to write it, i don’t understand the concept well and i might misinterpret it which can lead to misunderstandings

you can request under 3 categories. headcanons, scenarios and (short) prompts, feel free to give what idea would you like on the prompt you decided for and i’ll try my best to give it a shot. any suggestions or ideas that you want for the headcanons you requested for are allowed (as long as it stays sfw)

you can state if you want a platonic or romantic relationship with the characters you want. i’ll try to make to make it lean into a platonic relationship (but mostly all my works fall into a romantic and established relationship)

i won't write character x character, character x traveler or characters that are siblings/family

for minor characters like klee, diona, qiqi and sayu, i will only write platonic relationships with them.

i prefer to write gn! reader so it's free for everyone to read this blog's works (although i sometimes write female reader if it's requested)

if there appears that there are mistakes or errors in my works, pls approach me and enlighten me why and how is it wrong

i will write mostly for male characters

i write at my own pace, any messages on my inbox that asks when will the given request or new work will be posted will just put me into pressure or might lost the mood to continue to write it

and last, please be patient waiting for your request to be posted. don't worry, your request will soon get to me! <3

Whoa, whoa, whoa....let's interrupt programming with a necessary reality check, and side of tough love. You resisted communicating with me, and this absolutely had major consequences where I was concerned--since, for reasons only partially clear, it is, in fact, of major importance to do all I can to add you to my life....again, if this is never in the form of romantic involvement (and, more and more, that seems to make, by a fucking mile, the most sense) that is, perhaps, not precisely in-line with early expectations, but wonderful, nonetheless. The main, and certainly chief intended result of you cutting me off at all points within speaking distance of you has had others, also. For example, you will not believe how full of errors, including some major ones, your beliefs concerning anything and everything associated with me tend to be....this cloud of misunderstanding, already an impediment to current communication is also a frequent agitator of some less-than-desirable traits thatcI possess. So, because, I suspect the mistaken viewpoint's very nature is always bound to be impacted by friends and family not on board with us in any manifestation (though only a small portion of what I suspect has actually been demonstrated) it's safe to observe that negativity has been used as a tool, incorrectly, toward this end. This can elicit frustration and anger and it, sadly, has not exactly been a solar-eclipse-level rarity for me to become so distraught by the seeming injustice of it all that I begin acting every bit the abusive, exploitative significant other-in -waiting, who simply cannot contain his excitement at the prospect of misusing each of your considerable attributes for my own benefit, all the while, gaslighting you into a broken shambles so precisely that it isn't ling before your destroyer os, in your eyes, your onmy saving grace. In truth, I have never been abusive toward anyone in anything that resembled this exampke at all, and, as far as you are concerned, while I can definitely return your hardest serve....or even aim right for you, once in a while, when I become angry enough, I actually value you deeply, and this has never changed. Not being afforded an opportunity on a multitude of fronts that are, seemingly, nothing more than products of people talking from their asses, and woukd quickly be shown as such...

Don't get me wrong, it ain't "someone else" who is responsible for your closeting from me, it's you ...but, they certainly helped...and had no qualms about doing so dishonestly. Ao, for the 15th time in a few months, I am sorry for being a dick to you....if ever you were forced to navigate the described impossibility of a "boundary" or an "obstacle provided by the universe" or whatever the fuck else, when, actually, it had all become a fool's errand, and you could feel the heartbreak i did upon realization if this disturbing suspicion, you would understand that I still, if course, love you. I am no help to anyone, though, if I fail to survive, myself. Oh yeah, 1 or 2 days ago, someone sent me an "I'm gonna be your fem domme" welcome letter....hilariius...if that was you. Pretty sure you'd end up dead...dominating the funeral home. But, nice sentiment. Just jok I ng, of course. Due to extenuating circumstances, I have taken the liberty of expanding normal boundaries of good taste in posting from their typical levels to.....whatever I want. But, don't mistake this for genuine ill will.

Sorry to but in, but I've had this argument and this thought before and I need to get my thoughts out in one place.

I am not on the side of 'Luke is better because he rejected Jedi teachings', nor am I anti-jedi in any way. I have been... called Anti-jedi and a massacre apologist because I think Yoda got this one wrong. Oh, not the 'don't go, you will get your ass kicked and put your friends in danger', that's absolutely correct, but in the way he tried to talk Luke out of it-- 'let them go', which he absolutely could not in that moment. 'It's fine if they're already dead. Accept that.' Kid's not ready, Yoda.

Luke is not 'better' or 'correct' for ignoring that advice, but he is Luke because he ignores that advice. And I don't' think the galaxy is actually better if he doesn't. Mathematically I get it, throwing away 50% of the strong force sensitives left in known space on a suicide mission is awful. But the Force doesn't do equations that way.

Luke was wrong but Yoda was also wrong about the repercussions of his misunderstanding. Luke trusted his vision too much and Yoda hoped too little. Luke absolutely needs what he finds on Bespin to be the man he is at the end of the OT. He needs to trial and error his way through his selfish compassion, not logic his way out of it.

Let us take as fact that Luke made a big ass mistake by going to Bespin-- because I do-- but. Let's lean away from the binary framework where either Yoda was right or Luke was right. Let's say Yoda was mostly right, especially from a 'keep your limbs' point of view, and Luke was right in a 'I feel an aching duty and I have to try to help or I will explode' way.

You go back and you watch Yoda and Obi-wan immediately talk about him as if he has already fallen to the Dark, or is already dead. They are doing so out of fear, whether they know it or not-- they have seen a Skywalker confronted by terrible things, they know the galaxy is dark and unkind now. They know Anakin can and will kill his loved ones. They assume they know what will happen. Their trauma informs their responses, Yoda's dire warnings, Obi-wan's resignation in the aftermath. Switch plans, mourn Luke, start planning to train Leia.

But this Skywalker is not the Skywalker who traumatized them. Luke does not fall, Force-wise. He gives up, he is frightened, but even in his fear he chooses death over the Dark.

He falls, literally.

He is caught. His family comes to him, without explanation. That experience is formative to the Jedi he will become. It opens his eyes to the force in a way Anakin never saw it--as someone humbled.

And his reaction is not the rage or despair Yoda expects from Anakin's son. It is the sorrowful confusion of a child who has learned that the stove is hot and it will bite. He does not lash back; he looks inward. He is not the proto-Anakin Yoda and Obi-wan fear (can ghosts fear?) He is a different kind of failboat. He fucks up in a way his teachers are unprepared for, with outcomes that are not what they expect. And I'm not sure Yoda could have taught him his limits any more clearly than that does.

I think a Luke who stays on Dagobah is unprepared to face Vader again, and may have taught himself to ignore a key part of his relationship to the Force. That is not a bad thing, the good guys still win if Luke never makes his absolutely suicidal social call to the Death Star 2. Anakin Skywalker never rejoins the Light Side, but that's about it.

Anyway TL:DR:

-Luke does not understand something fundamental that Yoda doesn't.

-Yoda understands... many fundamental things that Luke doesn't but is also informed by the experiences of the last few decades and may not have been able to teach him to understand the more unique baby-chosen relationship to the Force he has.

Luke is not RIGHT, but Luke is Luke. A Luke whose instinct is not to go-- to throw himself at that danger even when it is stupid-- a Luke who can logic himself out of his helpless empathic himbotude-- is not a Luke who redeems Darth Vader. It would be a Luke who could walk away from his connection to his father and also make a 'correct' choice that sees the last two Sith snuffed out, without falling. Maybe the extra months of tutelage would have changed the future for the better. Anakin Skywalker is lost, though.

And that's whatever worth you assign to it.

I think its crazy that people point to Luke going to rescue Leia and Han from Vader, against the advise of Yoda and Obi-Wan, as the point that proves that Luke "fundamentally understands something the Jedi don't." Their whole point was that he was going into a situation blind, based on a vision that could or not be true, and he was ill prepared to face the foe responsible. Talk about attachment, rather than healthy connection. And the result? Leia escapes on her own. Luke rushes in. Bye bye hand

Yeah, Luke gets absolutely fucked when he dashes in on Bespin. I can’t exactly see that as an example of love saving the day. I’ve heard the argument that Luke saved them by distracting Vader, but I think that’s a little…thin.

dear Rominatrix thanks for your lovely posts about Martin. i love Martin and Benedict! i've been freebatched and Johnlocked for ages and i've got a question for you! what do you feel about B or i should say about their friendship? sometimes i feel some of Martin's fans are kind of feeling hostile toward B coz of some mistakes or misunderstanding! sorry i'm not a native speaker so errors may happen! thank you!

Dear Jilldar, hi! :) Ok, you probably know that i’m also very much into johnlock and very much into freebatch, also i consider myself being part of both martin’s (hey i’m one of the folks behind the fansite) and ben’s fandom. I do consider that there’s hostility from some fans that are exclusively fans of one or the other. I don’t know why to be honest, i think it’s just people being over protective. I don’t endorse at all any of those. Of course I’m going to defend Ben and Martin if they are - according to my sensibilities - being wrongfully accused of something. I mean, they are both human beings and both have said stuff that can be considered a bit not good but if someone thinks that just because a person is famous they are or have to be flawless then they are a tad wrong. I am of course more active in Martin’s fandom. Anyway… I find no reason to not believe in their friendship/good relationship. Trusting articles without sources or from certain publications is just plain stupid. You can see that when there’s a chance either of them will still either mention the other out of the blue (martin in a recent interview) or even have the other in their thoughts (ben still doing that silly pointy thing). They are both busy and it stands to reason that we don’t see “them” together anymore… besides they are not working together like in sherlock. I most definitely don’t think there’s any hostility between them but fans that are exclusively of one or the other *and* hate that they have a good friendship might be hostile towards that relationship for some overprotective silly reason. I think they are doing just fine =)
