wyn/julian: “ just listen, all right, and stop laughing. “

Wynter had heard a lot of outrageous things in her day, and to be honest, this one wasn't even that funny, but the combination of stress and sleep deprivation and emotional exhaustion was clearly taking its toll on her. She couldn't seem to help her responses. Maybe it was a if you don't laugh, then you'll cry situation or maybe she was just slaphappy. "I'm sorry," she said, clearing her throat. For a beautiful moment, she was able to contain her giggles, and she could meet Julian's gaze. In her current state, he didn't even look real. Just ethereal and out of place and so solemn for some reason. It caused giggles to erupt again. "Wynter," he said, almost pleading, almost petulant.

"I'm sorry," she answered, wiping her eyes. "I'm sorry. Look, here, see?" She took a calming breath and ran her hand down her face. There. She was calm. She could be serious. She could listen to--The giggles welled up again. She tried her best to quash them. "I'm sorry," she said again. "It's just--you're so--" She gestured, hoping it would communicate all the things she was failing to say.

"I'm so...?" he prompted. A shadow of hurt darkened his eyes. Or maybe it was his eyelashes.

"No! Not, like, a bad thing. You're so...like, dire. Like you've prepared what you're gonna say or something." She watched him for a moment. Realization dawned. "Ohhhh my god. Oh, I'm sorry, you've got this whole speech planned out and I'm such a dick. Oh, shit." IT wasn't funny, but she wanted to laugh anyway. She balled her hands into little fists, digging her nails into herself to sober herself up mentally. "Okay, sorry, yes. You wanted to tell me something? Go ahead, I'm all ears."

Julian looked away from her, mumbled something that sounded distinctly like bad idea, and then sighed and began.

I'm sobbing Cucuruchito on QSMP is LITERALLY what irl AI are 😭 it doesn't truly know anything, it's got a database of information it strings together as it sees fit and clearly doesn't have a memory of past responses so it's not truly learning or remembering what it's been told or is answering and can give conflicting responses to repeated questions, and it LITERALLY regularly makes up misinformation. THIS IS WHY AIS ARE A PROBLEM IRL AND NOW ITS SO OBVIOUS IN QSMP AAAAA 💀💀💀💀

plenty of people are going to analyse these pictures in a much more eloquent way but i still want to throw out a small perspective i have on nace's photos

especially as someone who's struggled with body image and self perception and weight for practically half my life (so tw for talking about those things kinda)

because i'm sure we're all very aware nace has struggled with those things in the past too, and i can't help but think about how those things will have affected him while having his shoot done.

compare what nace wears here to bojan's topless photos. bojan is emotional in a very different ways in those pictures, and the shirtlessness enhances that, but he's confident in his 'nakedness' (not happy, arguably, but confident enough in his body). compare it especially to kris, who appears the most naked out of all of them in their shoots, despite wearing a shirt, because of the all the artistic choices made and how much more relaxed within himself he is compared to the others in his own 'therapy session'. compare it even to jan's all-black long-sleeved shirt; jan (or the image of jan being presented to us through damon's lens – that's a whole other story in of itself) is making a choice in what he shows of himself, and he's certain in his choice. there's no resistence or discomfort or yearning in the shadows he's hidden himself in.

nace, meanwhile, is somewhere in the middle of all of them. he's in a short-sleeved shirt, tugging it further to give us a glimpse at a little more. aside from, obviously, letting us see his gorgeous tattoo sleeve better, i think one of the things this could well be showing us is nace's strides in confidence, alongside the discomfort he likely still feels.

because he's ready to show off his arms, and he's tugging at the fabric to show a little more than we usually get to see and, let's be real, it's fucking hot. he's confident enough now to start leaning into being found attractive, which is fucking beautiful.

but, at the same time, he's not ready to go fully shirtless – he's not at the point where he can strip and pose purposefully like bojan can, or strip and let himself relax into his identity like kris can. and, unlike the way jan hides himself, which feels very purposeful on jan's part, it doesn't feel like it's fully nace's choice – or, at least, there's tension and discomfort there still that he doesn't get a choice in hiding. his hands are clenched and clinging to the material, his arms are crossed protectively over his chest, and his eyes?? they're heartstoppingly dangerous. protecting himself and keeping the audience at a distance, but alluring and drawing you in at the same time; he's so confident in himself these days, but he still likely carries a lot of his old discomfort.

couple all of that with the way he looks in the last picture up at the top of this post – the way he's rubbing at his face, like he's trying to mould it into a shape, almost. all these three images have a kind of tourmented edge to them.

luckily, similarly to bojan's safe sweater shots, nace gets catharsis after all these intense emotions in these soft, tender shots, where his eyes are so much brighter and then heavily lidded and peaceful.

...oh, and of course, as has already been pointed out by @radioactive-cloud, nace gets his safe sweater in the form of jan, and we get to see that playful smile when he's around someone who makes him feel comfortable in himself ♡

Any updates on the release? I loved beta-testing what you have so far ☺️

oh hi, blue! unfortunately, my coder has been MIA for awhile and i have no idea what i’m gonna do 💀 they did tell me that their internet was messy and that they’ll be busy around the holidays but it has been jan 4 and still no reply. i’ve been getting as much writing as possible, even if it’s a complete dogshit to edit later, but without a coder, i can’t really do anything to release it ):

maybe i’ll try to re-release it on moody.ink/dashingdon? if there’s anyone who’s good with coding choicescript/twine, it’ll be immensely helpful because i really do want this chapter to be released as soon as i finish proofreading it. but rn, all we can do is wait

okay it's the next morning and i'm still seething. this is why diversity and inclusion is required. this is why just dei and racial sensitivity training is not enough until it's implemented all the way through. this is why bipoc are needed in every department of an organization top down. this is one of the things lewis is fighting against. this is one of the many many ways that team is failing him.

i get it, it's AI generated and the database isn't well fed yet. but publishing it was ultimately a human call, i'm guessing of course, because who knows what bozo's been handling their socials lately. a simple look at that entire post tells you how racially coded and stereotyped his images are. and, that tiktok that posted some more such images, make it clear to me that picking these specific pics was a choice. and a terrible one.

“Adrien made Kagami realize she’s a lesbian because she was not attracted to him” is boring and overdone.

Kagami made Adrien realize she’s a lesbian because she called him her “boyfriend” and he flinched and she was like “oh shoot what’s wrong” and he was like “i dont know, boyfriend is a really weird word for some reason” And because she’s Kagami, instead of being like “oh he clearly doesn’t want me” she just sat him down immediately and started googling Other Words and trying All of Them, and then she tried “do you want to be my girlfriend?” on a whim and he was like “holy shit this has awoken something in me.” And then kagami was like “oh huh i may be a lesbian.”
