Heyy! So I just found your stuff and it’s all super cute I love this kind of thing 😊 feel free to decline but do you think you could do a little fluffy one shot type thing where you’re just gaming with Sebastian and then whoops you both fall in love 😳

best gamer of all time || sebastian x reader oneshot

hanging out with your friends is always fun, but gaming alone with him may be your new favorite thing <3

warnings: fluff fluff fluff fluff oh my god, you may suck at this game but you do NOT suck at winning his heart

requested by: @juleboo , this is such an adorable request! i'm sorry this took like forty billion years, life has decided to kick me off my feet, but im doing a lot better so yippeeeee. i hope you enjoy, hopefully it was worth the long wait 🙏

Hanging out on a Saturday night was a ritual for you, Sebastian, Abigail, and Sam. You all rotate on who's place you hang out at, and tonight was Sebastian's. Abigail was laid out on the couch, Sebastian sitting on his bed, and you and Sam were on the floor. After a very intense game of Jackbox, with a lot of chaotic answers and laughter, it was nearing midnight.

“I cannot believe you put that! That was a direct jab at me and you know it!” Sam said towards Abigail's direction, obviously not actually upset.

“Then clean up the fuckin' pizza boxes in your room! That rat would've become your best friend if your mom didn't find him- wait- what time is it? ... oh shit, my dad is gonna kick my ass!” Abigail said, jumping up at lightning speed and grabbing her bag. “Sorry to kill the party, love you guys, if I get lectured one more time this week I am going to pull out my hair. Bye bye!”

And off she goes, leaving just as chaotic as she came. Sounds about right. The remaining three of you laughed, before Sam stood up and grabbed his things as well. “For some reason Mom wants me to come to church in the morning, she saw some lyrics to one of our songs and she kind of flipped her shit. Soooo, gotta atone for my sins. Have fun you two,” he said, sending a small wink Sebastian's way before making his way up the stairs.

You saw the wink, it definitely caught you off guard. You immediately snapped your head towards Sebastian. “What was that for?” you said with a smirk, which wasn't held for long. It slipped into a smile, moving from the floor to the now empty couch.

Sebastian's expression remained neutral, rolling his eyes. “Sam is always up to something, ignore him. Do you wanna stay and hang for a little while? I don't have anything to do tomorrow,” he said, looking towards the cabinet of games that sat beside his gaming console. He never asked anyone to stay later, especially when it's his night to host. He usually wants everyone out, Sebastian cherishes his alone time.

Butterflies erupted in your stomach when he asked you this, he actually wanted to spend more time with you? You felt so honored and special, of course you were going to stay. “Yeah, what did you wanna do?”

“I bought a game, it's co-op. Wanna try it out? It's a platformer, it seems pretty easy,” he said, walking over to the cabinet and grabbing the case. He made his way back over to you, showing you the back of the case, carefully studying your features. He wanted to make sure you were actually interested, and when your face lit up, he couldn't hold back a smile. It was rare for him, but it was perfect.

“Hell yeah, let's pop this bad boy in!” you said, sitting up excitedly and scooting over so that you two could share the couch. After 'popping that bad boy in', he sat next to you and handed you the controller.

Sebastian put on the tutorial before beginning to show you the controls. He described what to do, but due to your drowsiness from working all day, you just couldn't grasp what the controls were. “Here,” he mumbled, thinking for a moment before carefully putting his hands over yours.

“Alright, shoot with this button, alright?” he said, making sure not to get too close to you. He didn't want to make you uncomfortable, but these little touches were really nice ... he could get used to this.

“Mhm ...” you hummed, although your brain was short-circuiting. Every single thought in your brain was rendered useless in that moment, every place where you two touched felt like it was on fire. You clumsily tried to recreate his movements, shooting when he asked and jumping when he instructed. You learned the controls, but barely.

“Got it?” he said simply, slowly beginning to let go of you. He didn't really want to, but he didn't want to overstep your boundaries. He really cared about you, he didn't want to jeopardize that.

With a hesitant nod of confirmation, you two began the game. It was a mess, you definitely did not grasp the controls whatsoever. However, he enjoyed seeing what kind of trouble you got yourself into. How could you even get up there?

“Okay- when you jump, press the trigger to latch on to that cliff, and do NOT let go-” he tried to explain as you jumped with all of your might ... just to not even touch the cliff. Your body hit the floor with a splat, and you both sat in silence for a few seconds, staring at each other. Small snickers turned into full blown laughter, falling down onto the couch as you both held your faces.

“How the hell am I so stupid?? That was so easy! How the hell did I miss that??” you cackled, wiping the tears that began to fall from your eyes.

“I have no idea but it was one of the best things I've ever seen,” Sebastian's laughter began to quiet as he sat up, his gaze making its way down to you. You looked so perfect in the soft light of the television, so happy from the laughter that was encasing the both of you. He could not stop smiling.

“What?” you said softly, a gigantic grin on your face. You couldn't move, you just wanted to stay in this moment forever.

“... nothing. Just ... capturing this moment,” Sebastian said in a gentle tone, taking a deep breath before looking back at the screen. “You're a ghost now, but you can still help me and eventually I can revive you.”

You slowly sat up, but you had an idea. You slid a little closer to him than you were before, your legs touching. “Alright, I'll be the best fuckin' ghost in town,” you laughed, knowing you were bound to fuck it up but you had no care in the world. This was too fun.

He looked over at your legs touching, smiling even wider before continuing the game. He would ask you to do things as a ghost as you did ... with enough trial and error. He did notice that you kept adjusting and scooting closer and closer. He really liked this.

“Do you know how to freeze someone?" he asked, which you shook your head to. “Let me see this-” he mumbled, wrapping his arm around you, definitely just wanting to help you see the controls. You were essentially sitting in his lap at this point, a soft pink blush creeping onto both of your faces.

His face was so close, pressed almost right up against yours ... you wanted to stay here forever, but you didn't want to say anything that would ruin the moment. Nervous silence held you two for a moment, before he did something that both of you wanted more than anything. He carefully kissed your cheek, before going back to the game as if nothing ever happened.

Your brain melted, a feeling of bliss overtaking your body. You've been waiting for that for ages. You slowly leaned back into his chest as he laid down his controller for a moment. He wrapped his arms around your waist for a moment, giving you a careful squeeze. You reached your arms up around his neck, hugging him back. Neither of you cared about the game anymore.

“Stay here tonight. If you want to,” Sebastian muttered softly, holding your body close to his. He didn't dare let go, and neither did you.

You stayed there that night, you stayed wrapped up in his arms until the daylight and you had to work on your farm. But you hoped one day, you could wake up next to him everyday. Maybe someday, but for now, you had many Saturday nights where you stayed over later than everybody else.

Rough

Pairing: Ramattra × TransMale! Reader

Warnings: smut, size kink, voice kink, porn with not much plot, post top surgery reader, pre op reader, fingering, ligh dom/sub

Summary: You teased Ramattra just the right amount to get what you wanted in the first place

MINORS DNI!

Author’s Note: Since Ramattra came out, I've noticed that there are already smut one shots with him and most of them had fem reader (if not all, maybe there was one with gender neutral reader, but i'm not sure), so I kinda wanted to write something for trans dudes cuz why nah. Little thing for you to know, I haven't wrote smut for such a long time, (last time wasn't good, it was a disaster lol) so let's hope this one is gonna be good. If it's going to be posted, then I think it's good enough. If you wanna, you can leave some tips in the comments.

Also about the other smuts, I kinda got inspired by them, so if I wrote one, I might be inspired by your work! ^^

"Could you be more careful?!" Ramattra barked, feeling something like shiver, going down his back. He wiggled a bit in the chair he was sitting in, causing you to smirk.

"You've been through worse, stop complaining." Omnic heard you chuckle, while you were repairing his back.

Normally Ramattra wouldn't let a human repair him, but when he decided to go to Shambali Monastery to meet with his brother, he had no choice. You were the only person who could repair him in Monastery, especially in places he couldn't reach himself easily. So after Zenyatta finally made him come to you, he wasn't very happy about it, especially after he had to come to your house, due to the fact your workshop was already closed. He was sitting in your office, hoping it would be quick, but it felt like hours for him. He couldn't stand your cocky attitude and your flirty comments toward him, he wasn't very fond of them.

"Has anyone told you that you have a gorgeous voice box?" You couldn't help yourself. You didn't think you could be so attracted to an omnic, but there you were, trying not to show that Ramattra was making you feel certain ways.

"I'm not sure what you're trying to get with your flirtatious comments, but they're not going to work on me." He crossed his arms together, looking around, trying to distract himself. He really didn't want to give in, especially with a human. He could see where this was going, but he tried to stop it.

You turned him around on the chair, making him look at you. "Oh really?" You chuckled again, but this time more softly. "Maybe you're scared because you've never been with a human?" He stood up quickly, clearly annoyed. That was the moment you actually realized how tall he was compared to you. "Are humans always this irritating and dirty minded!?" He asked with a serious tone. Hearing him speak was slowly driving you crazy, you didn't think you ever met an omnic with such a remarkable voice.

"They might be annoying when they're needy." You explained with a low voice, while your hand wandered to his ribs, giving them a light touches. "So that's how you want to play, huh?" You smirked again at his question, nodding slightly. "Want me to show you where the bedroom is?"

"There's no need to. Your office will be just fine." Ramattra answered, before grabbing you and almost throwing you on your desk. Before you could react, he grabbed you by the face and spoke again. "You started a game, you're not going to win, but I am no monster. If you want me to stop I will, but until then we're playing by my rules. Do you understand?" You nodded, but that didn't seem to satisfy him. "I said, do you understand?" He brought your face closer to his, causing you to yelp. "Yes, Ramattra, I understand."

If he could smirk, you know he would. You could tell that he was satisfied with how obedient you suddenly became.

Without wasting any more time, Ramattra started taking off your clothes, leaving you naked before him. His hand wandered around your body, causing you to shiver at the sudden contact between his cold metal hands and your soft and warm skin. Omnic was checking for the spots that would squeeze your legs together and let out sounds of pleasure.

Him giving you a light touch on your top surgery scars, caused you to let out a quiet whine. Ramattra let out a low laugh at your reaction and continued, going lower, giving your hips a squeeze, seeing how in response squeeze your legs together. "Oh, you like that?" He teased, the only response he got was you getting blush on your cheeks. It was a positive answer for him.

Without any more games, he pushed you, making you hit a wooden desk with your back and parted your legs. His eyes landing on your dripping pussy. "Keep them like that. Don't you dare to close them."

"Yes, Ramattra. I won't—" Your sentence was cut out by a moan, as soon as Ramattra's thumb was brushing against your sensitive clit. It was a simple action and you were already fighting not to close your legs. "Damn it, Ramattra. So I was wrong when I said you've never been with a human?" You let a broken chuckle, when his fingers went to your entrance.

"You already seem to have enough just by simple and almost meaningless touch. I wonder… I wonder what will happen…" And as he said that, two of his fingers entered you, making you shiver. "When I do this." He wasn't so intrigued by your reaction, so he started moving his fingers, stroking your sensitive walls. With them being long, he was brushing that soft stop inside you everytime. You couldn't help yourself from starting to get yourself off by playing with your clit, while letting out the sounds of pleasure. "Are humans always this desperate to cum?" He teased again. You didn't listen to him, even if you wanted you couldn't. You were in trance, high almost. Ramattra wasn't going to be this good and let you cum so easily.

The next thing you know that his fingers are no longer in you and he was holding your hands together. You looked at him with desperation in your eyes. "Please…" He didn't want to give in again. But you begged and it seemed you could do it until you would get what you wanted, it made him melt and he couldn't say no.

"It's so adorable that you're begging. I guess I have no other choice." You smiled at him, hearing that. But you weren't expecting what was about to happen. The next thing you saw was Ramattra getting an extra set of arms, that were huge compared to his normal arm. With his normal hands he grabbed his scepter and placed it against your chest. "I want you to grab it and not let go. I want you to stay in place when I will be, like humans like to say, fucking your brains out." You chuckled at that, not knowing he knew that kind of slang. Without a thought, you did what he told you to, he continued to do it too, keeping you in place like he said. Then you heard a strange sound, something was opening, then you saw something that shocked you.

Ramattra had a cock. You had no idea Omnics had any kind of genitalia in the first place. Or maybe he did it himself, who knew. Most likely, due to the fact how much detail it had. It was jet black like him, with purple elements on his shaft and a couple of wires under it. There was leaking with clear fluid, which must have been lube, because what else could it be.

The next thing you feel is him grab you by your lower parts of thighs with his huge hands, parting your legs further for him. "Are you ready for me?" He asked, you nodded. You thought he was going to demand you to use words, but it seemed that didn't want to waste any more time.

He slowly entered you, making you arch your back. As soon as he was fully inside, you let out a sigh mixed with a chuckle. "Damn… Who would've thought I would be fucked by an Omnic." Ramattra shaked his head and decided to ignore your comment. He started building a steady pace. "You're better than I thou—" At that very moment he hit you in the right spot, you started to lose focus on what was going on around you. You closed your eyes and focused on the pleasure.

"Stop talking so much." If he could roll his eyes, he would. "If it feels that good then stay quiet or I might stop."

"Please don't." You breathed out, getting closer and closer to the release. Your mind was completely clouded by bliss. "Please don't stop. Please!" His pace was getting faster. You could tell he was on the edge as well.

He let go of your thighs, leaning against the desk with his big hands, letting you wrap your legs around his ways and allowing Ramattra to get deeper inside of you, hitting the soft spot inside you everytime.

You felt overwhelmed and then finally, you let out a broken moan, finally hitting that sweet release. Ramattra reached it right after you, bending over you, letting out something like a low groan.

He pulled out and fixed his wires that were supposed to imitate hair and exited his nemesis mode. "I hope you enjoyed yourself, because I'm not planning on doing this again."

"Don't lie. I bet you enjoyed yourself as much as I did." You sat up and tried to stabilize your breathing. "When do you want to come back for a 'check up'?"

He couldn't a help chuckle, he grabbed your face, but this time in much more gentle way, getting a sound of approval from you. "And when do you have time?"

[rhythmic-idealist]

sorry to be in my honey nut feelios abt jjk without even bothering to catch up on the manga yet, but

and this is for my toge inumaki brethren out there. i just.

at what point do you think this boy started thinking oh damn, maybe i do survive to adulthood

I can pinpoint a point in manga canon where I think he would've actually thought this out loud, but I just realized that this OP can be a relatively manga spoilers free post, so I'm going to go ahead and exclude it. Toge and Yuuta had a conversation that Yuuta concluded by saying "thanks, that'll come in handy" & I think the events of that chapter would be ones that Toge would think this about.

Anyway:

When Yuuta was sent away to Africa I'm sure Toge had all kinds of feelings about that but I have to wonder if one of them was okay. Okay. I can never necessarily hope he's coming back ...I didn't WANT to tangle my feelings about my survival with that, but I have

Like, I don't think Toge has ever approached people via how powerful they are, I think that puts a very bad taste in his mouth. But still, in both his relationships with Gojo and with Yuuta, he's obviously got to be Aware. Which makes me feel all kinds of ways about his relationship with Satoru Gojo (enough breathing room to live. to make friends. Toge Inumaki is one of Satoru's biggest success stories when it comes to Trying To Be A Shield Behind Which Children Can Be Children)

But he knows whether he's equipped to defend himself if the higher ups change their mind on him, and even after Gojo's in his life, the answer is still no

Yuuta rolls into Toge's life as many things, but particularly as someone who's gonna fight for him, next to him.

That's what I think is happening in the mall scene, you know? I think the movie betrays a very real sense of I'm Not Going To Look For Anyone To Save Me.

Yuuta is that for both Toge and Maki, you know? Like, Maki doesn't wind up taking him up on it, but they both have a moment with him where Yuuta is like hey I'd like to throw myself fully behind you (Toge) / your goals (Maki).

And obviously like. like as I said, Toge is already under what protection Satoru Gojo has to offer, but also, I mean, Yuuji dies while under that protection. Satoru is intentionally distant and frankly intentionally offputting in a lot of ways

and Satoru is spread THIN, Satoru is working on a vision for everyone, so. yeah, Toge could land anywhere within that vision, and I think he knows that.

anyway Satoru is spread THIN trying to do something for EVERYONE...

Meanwhile Yuuta rolls up and decides okay, I am in this for Maki and Toge and Panda.

....and. that. might just be okay. that might just be something.

And Toge lets it creep in slow, it keeps surprising him. hope is a dangerous thing because Toge doesn't like crashing, Toge happens to like being happy, and he's figured out how to be pretty okay, within a young expiration date.

(I tend to assume there are ugly politics hanging over Toge's head and he knows. I tend to headcanon that both Toge and the higher ups know that the second they start becoming too afraid of him, they can send him into some fight a little too big for him. He's under Satoru Gojo's protection but Yuuji died under that protection. It's not quite the same arrangement as Yuuji's delayed execution once-he-becomes-a-threat, but only because it's not an execution stated out loud. It's politics. Quiet. He knows he's toeing a line and, as he becomes stronger and improves his technique, probably on a timer.)

(And Toge's relationship with that isn't obedient acceptance, it isn't dying willingly and quietly. But it is that he isn't strong enough to fight that once it comes knocking. And No One Is Going To Fight For Me, not fight for me and win.)

But it is creeping in, his awareness that Yuuta is in it beside him - that if one day there is a fight too big for Toge, he just has to turn to one side and ask.

It would be an overstatement to say he starts planning to live longer but. he's only human. feelings sneak in. and then they send Yuuta overseas.

and I think Toge very quickly goes ok I can't assume he's actually coming back

and I have to imagine Toge gets kind of weird about it around the other two as he figures out how to try to have the feelings he is supposed to be having (I miss my friend) and privately, privately deal with the other feelings he is having (crashing hopelessness at my circumstances, at how I need to just go "never mind never mind never mind" over something I had a goddamn right to hope for)

Tf eu #5 rambles under the cut

Obviously, the most important thing is that MY WIFE IS HEEEERE YEAAAAAH. Love how they lettered her name here omg

She's wonderful!!!! Her bait and switch intro was funny (but please don't actually corner The Girl One into a love interest) and her stunt saving Carly was so cool, I'm glad we're establishing her right. I wish she didn't look so much Like That, but at least DWJ is as willing to deform her for action as anyone else. Her buccal fat removal look makes her look like a skull, which would be cool if it were on puporse, but it's not so. I like the shade they picked for her, is more of a lilac but it looks pink with the rest of the color palette and meshes well with the setting.

This series is really good at the appel to the inner child thing, because I'm like genuinely excited to see the Autobots have the advantage for once!! But ofc, they can't really because the arc ends next issue and they're not gonna have a decisive win until that.

Tho, Optimus and Cliffjumper are carrying the Autobots in regards to being the heroes we root for. I mean, Arcee and Jazz are very cool and that has their appeal, but I do wish once things have settled and they can interact in more situations that aren't just life and death, because so far I feel like we only get a good grasp of who Optimus and Cliffjumper are as individuals, their personalities. I want to see what makes each Autobot unique.

Speaking of, still absolutely eating the Carly and CJ dynamic. She is great and when she said that what does if matter if she's at risk when her family is dead and Spike is in a coma, that reallly got to me. It's unwise, but Cliffjumper relating to her and bringing her to give her a sense of closure it's really good. I think that this kind of bringing the kid character into danger would be because Carly sneaked her way, or because Cliffjumper would disregard orders for the hell of it. But like this feeeling of "I know how she feels and I would want come in her place too" works really well.

Also, I care about Sparky now, lol. Not that at hated him before. I'm not a fan of the first page, as cool at it look, because comparing OP to the US military like the later are the good guy is mmmm... but I'm loving his rapport with Optimus. And also there's how he looks when he's told the generator will give them a decade of power. It's not like "amazing tech woaaah!" It's softer like... this isn't an affluent town, these are people who are used to struggle and they just lost their power source. Ten years of power like that is a godsend that he can hardly believe that will do the whole town a lot of good and he cares about that. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but you know.

And ooooh dear, I was already unwell over Optimus getting his Megatron's canon arm grafted, but I understimated what seein him actually shoot the canon would do to me. I need... several moments.... the fight scenes are pretty gone but this one was particulary brutal. Optimus is really fearsome. And given how he has been so carefully characterized as this bleeding heart figure, seeing him decimating his enemies so efficient is quite something. And by something I mean gap moe. We love to see it.

RIP Reflector, your camera jokes will be missed, but that sequence was amazing lmao

Love seeing Optimus hit Starscream where it hurts. But OP saying that last time Starscream was cowering from Megatron's canon brings a lot of questions about the sequence of events in the Ark (which we'll get to see in teh special it seems). And I've been wondering if Starscream had something to do with Megatron falling or dissapearing or whatever, this does make it seem more like it and well, if that's the case I wonder how the rest of the Cons will react.

Man, the Autobots really shined this time and I already forgot what I was thinking about the Decepticons!! But hey!!! Thundercracker is here!!!!!!!! My guy!!! Given that his characterization as per toy bio is the guy that's not so sure about the cause, I wonder how he'll take it when he find out what really happened to Skywarp.

Also, are the Constructicons newly made??

Anyway, good stuff.

[st-eve-barnes]

Okay, so I need to talk about last weekend again and more specifically Arnas this time (you guys can skip this if you don't wanna hear me go on about the con again lol)

This whole thing is just, as @neonhairspray would say a turn of events😂

Meeting Arnas was hands down the best comic con experience I've ever had (and I've had a few good ones). I mean Mark had already set the bar so high by being the most chatty and down to earth actor I've ever met, I didn't think anyone could top that. But Arnas just took me completely by surprise. Going into his solo photo op I could see how sweet he was with everyone, sweet and so energetic, this man loves to pose and touch people and give everyone what they want. When it was my turn I just walked up to him to say Hi and put my arm around him for the photo but instead he hugged me, a real genuine tight hug. We were then interrupted by the photographer because the girl before me had to take her photo again, so I had to step back and he actually apologized for that (not his fault!). This only meant I got to say hi to him again and get another hug so win win for me lol Then he looked at me like "okay what are we gonna do?" and I just asked if we could hug again for the picture and he pulled me even closer asking "Like this?". I met this guy for two minutes and we already hugged three times.

I saw him again later for the group photo shoot (with him, Mark and Alexander) This was the most chaotic thing ever, the girl from staff said no poses but Mark had already told us earlier he loved doing poses and obviously Arnas did as well so we weren't sure what to do then. We had two photos with them and the first one happened so fast I don't even know who was where lol (apparently I was in between Mark and Alexander) For the second photo my husband explained his idea for a pose and Mark and Arnas were so overly enthusiastic they forgot to inform Alex of the plan. It was seriously like a couple of overly excited puppies jumping about while me and Alexander were like "wtf is happening?" lol Eventually we got it right and the pic turned out so fucking perfect, they were all so sweet and really dedicated to give us what we wanted. It's not always like that, these guys really gave their all.

Because Arnas was so nice, me and the husband decided on a last minute idea to also get an autograph, for @neonhairspray because she was the one who introduced me to him in a way. The original plan was actually to let him do a little video but the girl from staff at his table didn't allow that so I came up with the idea to just let him write something in Lithuanian for my Lithuanian friend as I felt that might feel a bit more personal as well.

I've never really done an autograph before except for Sebastian Stan and that was, well literally just him signing something without even looking up at you, there was no interaction. This was very different, standing in line and having done the selfie with Mark earlier I knew you actually got a chance to talk to the actors here. Now I'm not a talker, I'm Ewan in this scenario, introvert to the bone especially with people I don't know and my husband knows this. He asked "shall I explain it to him?" as he so often does, taking the heat off me because he's a sweetheart, but I was quick to decline this time.

I had talked to Mark earlier and he was very chatty and sweet but I still felt so nervous but this time my nerves felt under control.

I don't know if it's because Arnas had been so open and warm during the photo ops and I had already met hem but I just felt very comfortable talking to him. He has such a calming presence, despite his very active chaotic energy lol, but as an introvert it's those kind of people who bring you out of your shell and he really did that for me. He took his time to listen to my request, asked questions and then after he wrote the message he also translated it for us so we knew what it said. We talked some more about how he lived in The Netherlands for a while and he actually speaks a bit of Dutch. (Hearing him swear "godverdomme" is ingraved in my memory now lol) He was so open just chatting with us, I don't even remember everything we talked about. He thanked us in Dutch afterwards and before we left he got up from his table to hug me again, and then even hugged my husband. This man is a hugger, I mean he didn't have to do that, he could have just stayed in his seat like most of them do and it still would have been an amazing experience but he, again, went the extra mile.

By then he had won over my husband completely as well btw. After we hugged my husband thanked him for being who he is and being so wonderful with all the fans and said it really meant a lot to all of us and you could just tell Arnas was genuinely touched by that. We both walked away on such a high because that felt like the best, most sincere interaction we've ever had with an actor.

In other words, Arnas is my favorite now and Ewan better step up (I'm kidding!) But yeah, it's been 3 days now and that serotonin boost is still lingering.

Btw @neonhairspray when we told him we actually wanted a video for you but weren't allowed he said "oh send me on Insta and I might look into it" So, just so you know, the message is sent and it's up to him now ;)

[imsopopfly]

My god white people are so awful. Imagine going onto a Palestinian person’s blog where they have more than every right to criticize Biden’s administration as their families are getting martyred, and some demonic white asshole comes in with a “ok but what about me? Do you not care about me and my safety? You’re just confusing people by propping up actual Palestinians(you say to a Palestinian), you should feel ashamed!”

And then your ass too cowardly to apologize or even acknowledge the harm you’ve unleashed. White people aren’t the only queer groups around, and we know you think this way because you’d be horrified and just as angry of all the rights taken away from queer people of color on a daily basis both outside and within the US, and your ass not doing a damn thing to help and support us other than shout vote blue and tell those withholding their vote if you don’t they’re an idiot bigot that doesn’t care about others. Well look at the mirror cuz that’s all you projecting

Go read James Baldwin, a queer Black man I emphasize cuz you demons want to so badly call him a white cis straight man. Maybe you’ll learn to shut up and listen to poc

boy this sure is the reading comprehension website

i never said it was wrong to criticize biden i said it's a bad idea to vote in a guy who's even worse and is on record saying he'd do even worse.

and i didnt 'go onto' anyone's blog, tumblr put it on my dash for some reason, and i don't know what world you live in but i am not in the habit of going to the original blog of every single post i interact with and scroll through it until im 100% sure of every single thing about OP. I saw a post on my dash where someone was angrily spreading anti-voting sentiment for American politics in an election where a whole lot is at stake. I am sorry if I stepped on some toes, For the record I had no idea OP was Palestinian. I also never said anything bad about OP (though one of my mutuals did reblog me and make a few hasty assumptions (which in their defense I am certain were not made in bad faith) and I should not have responded to them and entertained that line of thought and I do apologize for that), and in fact I specifically said they have every right to be absolutely furious at how Biden's handled this, I don't think any decent person WOULDN'T be furious, I only outlined why maybe voting for the guy who has done some bad things may still be better than voting for the guy who has gone on record promising he will do the same bad things but more of them (and who is also a convicted felon, an outspoken white supremacist, and nearly started a nuclear war by playing chicken with North Korea the last time he was in office). No matter who wins the election, it's not going to be a victory, but it's gonna be a hell of a lot easier to stop Biden, who is fairly easily swayed by public opinion, from supporting Israel than it's gonna be to stop Trump, who is outspokenly and rabidly pro-Israel and never backs down on anything. That's all I'm going to say on the issue, because again, reading comprehension website. theres a good chance you're gonna find a way to misinterpret me and call me evil no matter what I say.

About Garp, and the D's, a little

I'm taking a little break because the tutor is also taking a break, so yeah.

Honestly, a lot of people (justifiably) hate Garp. And I don't blame them, it's fair, Garp made a lot decisions. But I don't hate him. And I know some irls of mine agree that Garps is pitiful, very very pitiful.

Spoiler Warning for the Egghead Arc, and everything before.

Also, the ramble IS incomplete since writing takes more time than anticipated and I have a lot going on rn. But I still wanted this to be posted so yeah.

And like, if you despise Garp more than any other gray characters in OP, or even the bad guys, maybe don't read this. This is not what you are looking for. Consider doing something that will make you happy instead.

I just saw a short comic about Garp dreaming of ASL becoming Fleet Admiral and whatnot. And it made me sad, it's a funny comic, you should check it out!!! But it made sad. It made think about Garp actually caring for his family but being a man of principle in the end, chained to his duty. He said he remained a vice-admiral so he was free to do what he wants as a Marine, is that really freedom though? He was able to sacrifice his freedom for justice, did he think that's the only way he could be truly free, in a fair world?

It probably has to do with the "Hero vs Pirate" thing some characters have going on. Like, Garp is one of the characters to have a few epithets under his name: "The Fist" and "The Hero of the Marine". It makes me think, some epithets can be inherited, or have a direct callback (Black-leg and Red-leg, Marine Hunter and Pirate Hunter, to mention some) so there might always be a "Hero of the Marine", but not always a "Fist".

I think how Garp surely got "The Fist" first, when he wasn't a high-ranking Marine yet, before Roger. He probably prided in his strength, how he used it to help others, he probably believed in the cause, he believed in the Marines. He got known for that: brutal, straight to the point, nothing fancy, an honest-to-God sucker punch to the bad guys that terrorize towns like the one he's from.

Do you guys think of Foosha Village? A forgotten coastal village, with only a few homes and places. A frankly dangerous forest no regular person should venture into alone or unprepared, just in the outskirts, of the Greatest Dumpster to ever exist in the East Blue (Gray Terminal). You know Garp saw everything, how people treated others not from the city, how they treated him, a probably orphan feral child from the forest. ASL had Makino and Dadan, and the bandits, who did Garp have? And Dragon? (Don't get me started on Dragon)

Do you think Garp saw everything terrible in the world and thought he could change it? He should change it? He is a D! We have no Idea what that means, but that he is the Tenryuubito's sworn enemy... and they gravitate toward the idea of freedom. We've seen this with ASL, Dragon, Rocks, Roger, Law, Vivi, and so many more. What would make someone like him join the Marines? He grew up wild, he looked so much like Luffy (SBS material), and he is a Marine.

Maybe Garp saw the world, tried to fix it, and reached the conclusion it's a sum-zero game. For anyone not into Game Theory, it means that for someone to win, someone has to lose, always. So if he wanted to be free, would that take freedom from someone else? Luffy said no, Dragon said maybe and Garp said yes. Garp wanted to be a Hero, I believed he wanted to help, back to when he had no family. And a Hero shares his food and his sake to anyone and everyone without even asking. So he shared his freedom. Traded it for Justice.

With his sacrifice he was able to help lots and lots of people sure, but what about him? He became more of a set of rules and principles than man. His own rules and principles let me be clear, he choose to create lines and borders to limit where his freedom ends and where Justice starts. Annoying Sengoku and Tsuru? Free, going boring meetings with higher-ups? Justice, Getting to know petty criminals that actually are not bad people, fighting them and then letting them go? Justice, jailing up terrorists and assasins and bruising some wealthy people here and there? Justice. He becomes more Justice than Freedom by the time he even realizes what's going on.

Then there's Dragon. Falling in love, having a child? Freedom, it's a selfish action. Maybe his last selfish action for a while. Garp, growing up poor and alone, still wanted a lot of things now. All he didn't get as a child: Freedom, Justice, a Family. He got all of them. He thought he could have all of them. We know nothing of Dragon's mother, but we know she agreed to Dragon carrying the D. Remember that Garp wanted Dragon to carry the D with him.

Side note. Here's a personal interpretation that the D is another form of inherited will. So, if someone with a D names you a D, you have to options: accept it or not. We see this with the Monkey family, Ace, Law and Sabo. Of all the Monkey family, Luffy is the only one to publicly go around announcing his name to the world (I have things to say about Luffy's name being lost to history, another time). Claiming it as his. He doesn't even care about his family's history, it's His name.

Ace and Law chose different ways to hide it, Ace finds a loophole, Law remains silent. They both carry the D, and a lot of family-trauma related baggage, but that is Their Name in the end. And Sabo, I really like Sabo, because he wasn't a D at birth. Luffy gave it to him. Sabo is their brother, he has to share the D! And so Sabo has a D. But Garp hides his. For the Hero of the Marines, not having his full name resounding loud and clear is rather strange (even if he wasn't The Hero yet, his actions are what speak loudest).

Dragon makes sense, he wants to hide from the WG. But Garp? He is the Marine's poster child. He is the aspirational story they want to sell to children so that they enlist, "Vice-admiral Garp grew up with nothing and is the strongest Marine", "did you know the Hero of the Marines enlisted when he was 1x years old?", "don't you want to be like him, work for a better world for everyone?" (I know we haven't seen an actual "I want you" posters from the Marines, or Marine propaganda like that, but I wouldn't put it past them tbh). End of the side note.

So Garp keeps his name, and his lover and his son a secret, one final selfish act. So that he can become the man the world needs him to be. What he thinks the world needs him to be. He works and fights and helps thousands of people through the Marines. Maybe his lover died while he was away, now it's only Garp and Dragon. And Garp cannot be any more selfish, he already gave his son Freedom, somehow managed to keep a bit of his own, and chose to spread himself thin for the people who need him. A Hero shares his Freedom.

Garp tries to raise Dragon on his own, the best he could. But he didn't have parents and didn't know exactly what to do. So he gave Dragon the 3 things he wanted most his age (a child, he was a child): Freedom, Justice(Justice?) and Family. Dragon didn't need to see the state of the world, he could just trust in his father. Knowing he was looking out for him, for them, for everyone. Knowing he had the best intentions in mind, knowing his dad was a Hero. So Dragon grew up, enlisted in the Marine, like his Father, and kept his Freedom and Justice and Family in the same place Garp did. Rules and principles and Heroes and men.

But then Dragon saw the world, saw the Marines, and saw that in all the love and care his father had for him, it wouldn't (couldn't) hold a candle to his devotion to the Marines. He was more the Hero than he was his Dad. Garp couldn't (wouldn't) be more selfish as to aspire for it to be the other way around. He made his choice a long time ago, he was a man of his word. So when Dragon saw that Garp's dedication made him blind to the injustice he was perpetuating, something stirred in Dragon. He saw Garp's world, and saw slavery and injustice and terror. So Dragon had to change it. Dragon leaves the Marines. Garp cannot be selfish.

Dragon chooses Justice like his father, but not his father's. The deserter sails away, to find a better way, his own selfish way to bring peace to the world. His son chooses Justice and Freedom, Freedom that leads to Justice, Justice to keep the Freedom. Garp loses his family. Garp cannot be any more selfish, his son is taking and taking more Freedom and Justice, and there's only so much a man (a man?) like him can keep on giving. So he loses his Family, and lets Dragon keep what's his.

Ever the selfish man, however, Garp takes in apprentices. Lonely, lost kids (just like him) hoping to become something better. Teaches them a thing or two. Makes them strong, they are not quite his Family, but they learn his rules, share his principles, and Garp finds in them a bit of space to breath. A bit of Freedom and care from them. So Garp, still a D, still desperate for Freedom (no matter how much he tries to ignore it) takes it. Turns out Kuzan and Sengoku make for great Admirals, and give Garp a bit more of breathing space.

Then there's Roger, there's the Rock pirates and God Valley. And the truth Garp is running from is no longer following him, but hitting him in the face (a punch, a fist) and asking him "did you really think you could run away forever?" The Fist did. Garp did not. So Garp teams up with a straw-hatted pirate and Xebec is history. And Garp breathes, allows himself a bit of selfishness in the aftermath of the battle. Now there are only two men, two friends, gasping for air on the floor. The pirate is smiling at him and Garp can't help but to do the same.

He hears the Buster Call warning before the other man. The Hero of the Marine tells the Pirate to leave. The Pirate does. God Valley doesn't exist.

Garp gains a friend, a title, and a realization. He won't be free again. Once the story comes out to the public, he will not be Free again. Justice will take hold, and Garp cannot be Free again. Whatever he has left after that means next to nothing.

But he has a son. A son who doesn't use his name or freedom or justice anymore. Garp looks at The Revolutionary's Justice and thinks "I could work with that". Meets him half-way. Garp cannot go back, too many people depend on the Hero's freedom for him to go back. So he trusts his son and gains his family back, for a bit. He thinks he deserves it, hasn't he already given his all to them? Can he have his son back, now? Garp doesn't know that Sengoku thinks of the sound snow makes when it's falling (oh, so silent) and the smell of cigarettes when he tells him to shut up, get out of his office and get back to work.

"It'd be fine to stay like that", Garp thinks. But nothing is ever the same on the sea. Garp meets with his friend one last time and tells him his truth. "You brought this upon yourself", he knows, "there´s no other man I could trust this to" and he smiles. Garp frowns. And thinks. He is a Hero, what is another child to give a little bit of himself to more? He thinks back to a child alone in forest, beating tiggers and bandits and searching for treasure. He decides Justice is blind to a child whose greatest sin is the weight of a name not even his. The Pirate King is dead, Long Live the Pirate King. Garp loses a friend, freedom and gains some family back.

Garp must've missed the memo that every major criminal is now having children, because his son is back with another one. The child carries his name as ell. "You brought this upon yourself", he knows, "There's no other man I could trust this to". Garp doesn't know what to do. In a world of Kings, Revolutions, and Will, what is a vice admiral able to do? What are they expecting this man to do? Justice is blind again and Garp watches the silhouette of the most-wanted man in the world (now) leave ever more lightly, a weight of his chest.

Dragon told him what he wanted for the kid, his kid, Freedom and a Family. Turns out is son is quite the selfish man. Garp doesn't have any Freedom to offer him though, the white chains and blue leash he forged for himself can't be called that. However, Garp finds that in his Justice he can provide for something else, he could keep them Safe. Justice is blind, he can keep his kids Safe. Garp is selfish once again.

And another time, because Sengoku (his friend, Fleet Admiral Sengoku) now knows.

Holy Molly this thing has been on standby for 2 weeks. I'm still stuck on end-of-semester frenzy so I actually haven't had much chance to read a lot more. And, also, a lot of them haven't been updated since last... EXCEPT FOR DEAD ALIVE

I'm gonna talk about Dead Alive as soon as I get the chance, which is probably another 2 weeks but whatever.

I'm gonna finish the Garp thoughts sometime, because I haven't even started on the events that actually take place in the story as we follow it.

OH AND THE MANGA UPDATED!!!! THAT ALSO HAPPENED, OMGGG!!!!!

Anyways, thanks for reading this far if you did (why?). I hope you were able to think about Garp in a new light, kinda, because this thing is still unfinished and missing what is basically Garp's biggest character moment to date (_marineford_). And I have thoughts on that, and Egghead. If you weren't then that's fine too, everyone's entitled to their opinion. I still think it's very nice you made it this far, thanks again, have a good one! c:

track × 02

so my journal title is a work in progress right now. not really sure what to call it for now, but journal would be fine !!!

and i'm not sure if i should keep track of it via numbering ? so i'll see how it goes for now.

ok so for

|| daily updates ||

firstly--i did it again. i hit my rock bottom. watched youtube again mindlessly. got upset over something and i just lost track of what i wanted to do. it's just so easy to let loose and become braindead with youtube. i want to lessen the urge to just instinctively open youtube instead (especially when i'm upset)

next is i guess over something old, but it's positive !! 'm not expecting anyone to understand, but i'm always slighted by my own feelings. i'm easily infatuated with people. get anxious talking to someone i'm aware i like. and i get dumb and all talking to them-- but that's in the past.

however, the past greeted me this day.

not exactly. i simply saw the guy i liked again (and awkwardly, pathetically, obscenely did i do that) and well- never approached him.

was that bad ? at the moment for me-- it was victory. when i say i'm obsessive, i mean it. but i do it, subtly (?) i mean, kind of, not exactly. like i actively avoid people i like, and tremendously give them my attention when we're talking so it's like a hot and cold situation. so maybe, sure, they could be aware and i'm simply a big f*cking idiot when it comes to people i want romantically.

so yes, i basically told myself i won't look. i won't keep looking. i won't stare. that's because it's my signature thing--staring. i love staring at people i'm interested in. creepy ? probably. i'm aware it's darned pathetic.

"but op ?1?1? just TALK to them !?!?" NAAHHH. Y'ALL I SAY THE MOST IDIOTIC THING EVERRR NAH NAH DOESN'T HELP I'M AWKWARD EITHER LIKE BRO WHAT DO YOU MEAN STARING ISN'T A VIABLE ANSWER TO THE DEEPEST QUESTIOMS EVER ???

so that's when i decided it's fine--i won this battle.

B*TCH !!! AGAINST WHO ??? you aren't winning anything when you kept convincing yourself NOT TO do the thing. you still kept overthinking it like a dog chasing its own tail GRRRRRRR.

or maybe i did ?

not sure.

but i guess, now that i'm thinking about it, maybe it was just a neutral thing.

then, what would actually be the line of victory ?

like--i usually avoid people. so. it's not anything new I DIDN'T DO.

but i did stop trying to search for the person multiple times. maybe one look slipped by-- BUT THAT'S LESS than i would've done if i had been still interested in them.

and this is the same person who edited the said person's pictures on the excuse that they're "practicing" editing (but in reality really just wanted to damned stare) (i know you, you're physically revolting right now--DON'T START WITH ME)

and wow. so much for convincing yourself you've actually grown over them.

when it's clear that you dedicated more than half this space to think about them 1?1!??1 (WHAAAATT)

honestly ? it's part of the process. think about it a lot until ya can't.

but anyways, that's mostly it :]] i'll edit and update once i think about it more.

A3! | BanIta | Spoiling Wars

Rating: T (for Banri's language...not that bad but eh haha)

Summary:

Banri's rich background versus Itaru's hard-earned salary - who will win this war of spoiling the other?

A/N: Commed by my friend Bear!

It's no secret that Banri is stinkin' loaded. Besides not having to put much effort into lessons or recreational activities, he has all the resources in the world to waste his time with. He needs new shoes? Any will do. Brand doesn't matter. The game lags on his current laptop? Easy, replace it. Need some formal wear? His dad is a regular at one of those fancy schmancy places, no problem.

He basically has a black card for all of his needs and it has never let him down. Ever.

Except for the time he can't actually use it because a certain gamer won't let him buy the freakin' snacks for their all-nighter!

"I-ta-ru-san," Banri says, enunciating each syllable clearly. He's smiling but a vein in his head is near bursting. "Didn't I tell ya to let me handle the goods?"

He looks away for one moment and the sneaky devil manages to pay the cashier right under his nose. Said cashier shifts their gaze between them, probably thinking they aren’t paid enough to deal with petty fights like these.

And they aren’t, so Banri better make his point clear and fast.

Itaru looks all smarmy with his work smile, ready to negotiate a business plan or something or whatever it is salarymen do.

"And didn't I tell you to let the adult with the grown-ass job handle it. You better save up while you're still a student, you rich kid." Itaru snorts at him and it makes Banri twitch.

He licks his lips. Let's see about that.

"Alright, you win this time, whatever."

 Itaru smirks in triumph.

"I'll go and buy that on-sale powerbank." Banri waves as he walks away. Itaru's previous powerbank had been destroyed by the downpour yesterday and he spent a whole 10 minutes mourning it before they started their co-op campaign. Even then, his sulking was evident with his more-aggressive-than-usual malding.

Itaru catches up to him and grabs his wrist. "Don't you dare. Stop teasing this regular office worker, unless you want another one of those leopard prints to be part of your wardrobe starting tomorrow."

To anyone else, it would be a threat (he knows because Yuki, their number one fashionista who he shops regularly with, has expressed disgust towards his go-to style), but for Banri, a new outfit is a total plus. So a threat in the opposite direction! As expected of an experienced ranking gamer.

How can a piece of clothing compare to a powerbank? Well it ain't about the price, it's the flexing! If Itaru will spoil him, Banri will return it tenfold! 

Ha! But what Itaru doesn't know is that this has been Banri's aim all along. He's no noob when it comes to compromise or getting to that point.

He always knows how to get what he wants in the end.

"I order the pizza later and we'll call it even."

"Don't go buying me stuff while I'm hard at work tomorrow and AFK."

"Deal." 

((

"Yuki-kun, are they possibly...fighting?" Sakuya asks, wide-eyed. He looks around them, already seeing some on-lookers stare at the pair by the cashier. What if they get scolded by Sakyo or Izumi for making a scene?

Yuki rolls his eyes and clicks his tongue. "No. They're flirting and it's utterly sickening."

))

[odinsblog]

I'm confused. I thought both of them were abusive to each other? So why are we (or the person who tweeted all that) white-liberal-feminism-ing/yasss-queening Amber? 🤔

[re: this post]

Anon, you REALLY need to read that entire thread again, because none of what you just said is what was being conveyed. Like, not even a little bit.

I’m honestly not sure how anyone who actually read the thread could come away with the idea that it was somehow an ode to “white feminism” or “yasss-queening” Amber Heard.

In fact, very specifically mentioned in the thread was the concern about how non-wealthy (and by any logical inference, non-white) women would be harmed if even a famous, attractive, white woman can be so easily pilloried and vilified across various social media platforms:

“Domestic violence experts are scared that this trial will make victims feel less safe asking for help. “I can’t imagine what this might be doing to someone who may eventually want to seek safety and support,” said the CEO of National Coalition Against DV.”

“More evidence that the Depp/Heard trial is scaring other survivors. Dr. Jessica Taylor, a psychologist who specializes in sexual violence and victim-blaming, says victims currently awaiting case hearings are considering retracting.”

“The “mutual abuse” claim is especially troubling, as it frames abuse victims defending themselves, or reacting violently after years of being on the receiving end of violence, as just as bad as the abuser’s behavior. It confuses the actual dynamic at play.”

“If you are a victim who has defended yourself against your abuser, or been violent toward your abuser after being psychologically broken down by them, you are at risk of being arrested alongside them. You are also less likely to feel valid seeking the support you need.”

As I said at the beginning of my commentary in the thread I posted: I’m not a Johnny Depp stan. I’m not an Amber Heard stan. I don’t know them, I don’t daydream about meeting them, they aren’t my friends, they didn’t cure cancer or anything, and neither of them has made a movie so great that I would die on a hill for either one them. My monthly salary doesn’t go up or down if one of them wins or loses the case. But I dO recognize misogynistic MRA tripe when I see it, and that is absolutely what is being pushed in this whole trial.

EDIT: I’m a Black man and I find it qwhite interesting that OP tried to use “white feminism” and “yasss-queening” as a quieting tactic, but please look at what is OP doing - “yasss king-ing for some rich, old, white dude. Depp and Heard are both white. Imma go with the numbers here and believe the overwhelming statistical probability that it is more than likely that it was the dude who abused the much younger woman he had power over.

Anyway, I very strongly encourage anyone who hasn’t done so, to read (I mean actually read) the entire thread.

Rating the Madrigals By Whether I'd Beat Them in a Rap Battle

(Julieta Madrigal baked Polvorosas cookies for dessert, however, there's only one left, and me and one of the other Madrigals are the only ones who didn't get a cookie. The only way to settle this is via a rap battle. Whoever wins gets the cookie. What are my chances?) 

Mirabel: 7/10--I highly doubt she can rap, but who knows, maybe she can. If she can, then she'd probably beat me or it'd come to a tie, but that's a big "if". 

Isabela: 3/10--She'd be a pretty good rapper, plus, whatever she lacks in flow, rhyme, and rhythm, she makes up for in pure, unadulterated, savage badassery. She's easily the sassiest and best rapper...almost. But a lot of burns could be hurled her way as well. 

Luisa: 4/10--She can probably rap, although slightly below average. I'd most likely win, but it wouldn't be hard for her to diss me as well. Plus, she'd have a better flow, although I have to say that rhymes aren't her thing. 

Dolores: 0/10--The Disney Queen of Rap. She spits bars. Nobody is beating her, I wouldn't stand a chance and would wind up crying. 

Camilo: 10/10--Sorry, Camilo worshippers, but your deity can't rap to save his life. I'd run circles around him so fast he'd be dizzy, plus he's the easiest to roast due to his fragile self-esteem, loss of identity, and gift being possibly the most unfortunate(even moreso than Dolores' with all the pain it brings). And despite outward appearances he's the most sensitive to accusations and criticism. This is not a battle, it's a curb-stomp; I'd massacre him so easily I'd actually feel almost guilty about it. No cookie for him. 

Antonio: 8/10--Most five-year-olds can't rap. Unfortunately, Antonio may have been taught to rap by Isabela or even Dolores, and while he's not quite a rapper yet, he's picking up speed and may even actually stand a chance of winning. I'm scared that I might not get that cookie. 

Pepa: 8/10--Her son inherited her abysmal rapping "skills." She's not beating me in this rap battle. Enough said. 

Julieta: 4/10--She's pretty tame, but people are frequently surprised that she's a better rapper than they expect her to be because of her sweet and demure demeanor. And she's scary when mad. So imagine the bars she could cook up if I dare go too far. She also has a pretty decent flow. But so long as I don't press that big scary red button, I'm confident that I could win. 

Bruno: 6/10--He's not on Dolores' level, but I wouldn't be surprised if he can spit bars like her. Although he may run out of rhymes at some point and give me the opportunity to win. He doesn't do too well in a confrontation, fortunately, which mitigates any rap battling skills he may have had, and leaves me room to take the blue ribbon! 

Felix: 3/10--His daughter inherited her flow from him. So me losing in a stand against him is sadly more likely than me actually coming out on top, even though there's a chance of the latter as well. 

Agustin: 9/10--The only one worse than him is Camilo, seriously. I'm kicking his ass. Unless I insult his wife. 

Alma: 8/10--She probably doesn't even know what rap is, but even if she does, then she still wouldn't be able to outrap me. Or she could, but the chances are slim. I doubt I'd be able to battle her regardless, though, though I could always call out the way she treated her children and grandchildren the same way Mirabel did only, you know, in rap form! Really, though, she'd just take the last cookie without asking anyone and eat it because she's the woman of the house and can do what she wants. 

These are just my headcanons; please don't take them too seriously, and you're free to have your own, so please don't attack me! It is only my opinion. Thank you! 

--------------

OP is this just an excuse to tell everyone that Dolores has the best verse in WDTAB? /lh

Which she does tbf

Also why didn't Julieta just bake more cookies

"Always expecting betrayal... But never from you"

The general who became a father to his soldier (spoilers for rwby v8 ch13)

Personal impressions:

I was so mad last week, thinking IW would have been defeated already/too soon but they tricked us. And I'm so glad it's a Winter vs. Ironwood fight. And the emotions.... I can't.

He was her father figure and I'm sure it was viewed like that from both sides. We were clearly shown what IW would do if anyone was in his way. Even when she disobeyed he didn't shoot her. He trusted her until the last moment.... We saw him get mad, break down and hopeless. But never cry. It's not just any soldier he's fighting. He's fighting his right hand. Winter Schnee, someone who was like a daughter to him.

But let's get to their actual relationship.

An essay on Winter in RWBY is planned btw.

Winter seems to have the highest rank in the military next to Ironwood, which is impressive for her age and shows her determination but also how IW believes in her

In V4 Jacques claimed that IW "stole his daughter" and IW hinted at that they often had this conversation

In V7 Jacques asked IW if Winter knew that Weiss returned to Atlas

From the point of V2 and V3 it seems that Winter still had contact to Jacques but not as much anymore in V7, something happened and I think because of the dust embargo IW and Jacques had their confrontation and Winter obviously chose IW's side and detached from her father completely

(It was always hinted (and I think even stated in the remnant guide book) that Winter protected her siblings and had to take the most abuse. And you can clearly see that by her type of fight or flight trauma and how she's literally supposed to represent the ice queen with her hidden emotions and stuff

You see her in that state of shock, fear, panic, trauma etc. when she realizes that she failed Ironwood. He was proud of her for catching Yang, Ren and Jaune and put his hand on her since they would be useful. Harriet then told him and I think this represents how someone like IW would be able to hurt her that much emotionally since he is in the position of an authority and a father figure to her)

Also he was ready to shoot his people at any time like the council man or Marrow but he didn't shoot her and allowed her to stay by her side

That and how she defends IW most of the time show how she trusts her judgment, IW trusts her judgement as well as seen in V4 when he told Jacques that Winter told him that there was a threat in Mistral

In World of Remnant we see IW walking past soldiers and Winter standing out. It was about the technical grooming of atlas students to join the military but you can tell from what we know of Ironwood, that he has a good heart (eruption fang made a vid on that recently)

When Winter told Weiss that "the general would have a place for you" She said it with such happiness, atlas and the military was winter's new home and IW gave her the chance to repurpose her life

She even defended IW in front of Jacques, her biological father and she takes great personal offense when his judgement is mistreated. Even when Weiss talked about trust Winter said that he would never hide anything from her

The offer with the Winter Maiden... You could say that he did this to control her and I'd accept your opinion... But there's one thing that makes me think that he still obviously also cared for her. Over the years he knew how much the military meant to her. She even told Penny that her life doesnt matter and only her job does. It means everything to her and like Winter said herself, she saw the Maiden powers as a privilege and it makes me feel like Ironwood saw them as something that would make her unique and give her once again a purpose that is unique to her and not just her being one of many soldiers

He even apologized, knowing it wouldn't be easy for her (since he expected Winter and not Ozcar) and when he had his talk with RWBY he called Winter her/Weiss' sister instead of just her name and idk but that just made this even more special

In Volume 8 it is once again shown how Winter is basically the one who also trusted Ironwood until the end. And in ch 12 she didnt judge him... She expressed her worries for his behavior. She couldn't believe the man who made her feel like she was everything would ever become so cruel

They way their worry for each other looks so similar

And while I know that they have a theme for the Atlas military , I think it's obvious how Winter looked even more like IW in all her outfits compared to the rest of the military

Many people think Ironwood is dumb for over trusting Winter but I think it shows his flaw as a general. He let's his emotions get in the way since he cares about her and continues to trust her even though she disobeyed orders

His last words were "As my last order: step aside", he could've just shot her again as she layed defenseless on the ground but he didn't

Remember how in the first episode he said "Thank you Winter, I don't know what I would do without you"

Right before, she said that she'll be fine without him asking anything. It sounds a little more personal in my opinion. Why would you tell your boss that you'll be fine without him asking about your status? the conversation was literally about Qrow and Robyn before but he looked worried and wanted the room for themselves and she immediately said that.

Some people also talk about how they emphasized with Ironwood in volume 7 since wasn't shown to have family or a partner yet would do anything for Atlas. But again, he did care about Winter a lot and wanted her to be save.

Something I also noticed when writing this is that in volume 3 Ironwood called her Schnee yet in V7 he calls the Ace Ops and her via first name basis. Clover said that he trusts Ironwood with this life and I think that's how Winter and the Ace ops felt about him, the person who gave them hope. Especially Winter.

And now we're here. Seeing the man cry a tear. We know now, if Winter wins, she has to kill him. Imprisoning him wasn't enough. And I think that will be her final moment of her being a "Ice Queen", when she has to kill him, she will probably turn to her emotional side and grieve.

As mentioned, the military, her position, her rank and Ironwood meant everything to her. She talked so enthusiastically when she had her conversation with Weiss about moving in together without their father and how IW has a place for her younger sister. And now along with Ironwood, both are in a situation they never thought they'd be in.

That was it from me. In short form , I just wanted to share some ideas and things I've noticed about their relationship and dynamic. None of this is meant as a romantic way and you can of course disagree but please stay respectful. Thank you and we'll see each other next chapter<3

P. S. Winter please don't die

Loose Lips

pairing: Jack Sloane x Reader

summary: You drunkenly confess your feelings for Jack and fear for the worst.

You were no stranger to the term "Loose lips sink ships." Most of your adult life had been spent keeping secrets much bigger than yourself. Between covert op units, becoming a federal agent, and then a promotion to NATO, you had learned quite a few things that would go with you to the grave. However, it seemed that when the pressure of death was off, secrets became a bit harder to keep for you.

Maybe it was the relaxed environment of the bar or the six drinks you had that night. Either way, you couldn't keep your stupid mouth shut and now you were facing the consequences. You weren't sure what was worse, the fact that you had just told Jack you wanted to kiss her or the way that she had not looked at you since. There was a tension between the two of you now as you tried to finish your game of darts that made you wish you were back in the desert.

"I don't know why I said that I'm sorry," you apologized for what felt like the ten millionth time. Jack threw her last dart and missed the board by just a little bit. She stepped aside and let you line up to take your last shot. Something told you that after this, you wouldn't be seeing much of Jack for the night or your stay in DC. "Are we okay?"

"Y/n, please stop," Jack said quietly. You nodded and threw your dart, hitting the bullseye perfectly. "You win. Congrats."

"Thank you. Do you think I can get you a drink?" you asked, and Jack shook her head. You watched her collect the darts and set them on a nearby table for other people to use. Jack disappeared on you after that, leaving you to sit alone at the bar and wallow in self-pity. Three drinks in and your pity became a bit of a monologue, no longer contained in your own head. "It's awful because she's the only piece of my old life I had left. Now, I just move around because nothing sticks anymore. I keep losing people, and I think I lost Jack."

"Oh god, you're drunk," Jack said as she sat down next to you at the bar. You picked your head up from the bar and stared at her, trying to figure out if she was really there. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"Here you go sir," you said to the bartender as you handed over a wad of cash that was definitely more than your tab. Jack watched you stumble away and chased after you. She knew you could move fast, even drunk, and would rather not explain to anyone why you were covered in scraped and bruises.

Jack walked you to a cab and got in with you, not trusting you to know any actual addresses in this state. You were half asleep as Jack walked you into her own apartment. The two of you made it to the couch, where Jack laid you down and covered you with a blanket. A part of her wanted to go straight back to her own bed, but instead she sat down by your feet and watched you sleep.

"Where am I?" you asked groggily as you woke up. The room you were in was unfamiliar, but the blanket covering you smelled like Jack's body wash and perfume. "Jack?"

"Hey, morning. Advil? Coffee? Toast?" Jack asked and you shook your head. "Oh right, you're hardcore. Well, if you change your mind, let me know."

"So, this is where you're living now?" you asked as you looked around. It wasn't a lot, reminding you of your own place. "I like it."

"Thanks. Do you need a ride back to your hotel so you can change?"

"Better late than never," you said, knowing the reason she wanted to take you for a drive. All of your important talks, her leaving town to join the army, you trying to follow in her footsteps, the move to Europe, and countless other otherwise difficult conversations, had taken place in whatever car Jack had at the time.

"Last night..." Jack trailed off, hoping you'd be able to remember what you said and fill it in.

"I said I wanted to kiss you. I told the entire bar that I've loved you since I was a kid. Darts is a dangerous game," you chuckled. It was a vain attempt to keep things lighthearted. Jack bit at the corner of her mouth and took a second to gather her thoughts.

"DC is a nice place," Jack told you. "Maybe you could get an extension here and we see where this goes."

"D-do you mean?" you asked.

"I want to kiss you too, and I can promise you that no matter how many things you confess while you're drunk, I'm not going anywhere." Jack reached out towards you, placing her hand on your jaw. You leaned into her touch and closed the distance between the two of you. She kissed you back firmly, and as far as first kisses went, it was the best you'd ever had.

How do you think Fleetway and Scourge would react to meeting Sonic Exe? How would STC!Sonic react to Sonic Exe??

Sonic.exe.... now that's a name I haven't heard in years.....

I'm honestly not super familiar with sonic.exe lore since I've only read the original creepypasta like once and watched a few people play through that first romhack a few times, so I'll just be going off what little I remember (and the knowledge that (and I say this with a level of affection) almost every creepypasta character is ridiculously op)

Sonic and Scourge would definitely be cocky af at first since they go into every fight expecting they'll win, and Sonic is more than a little exasperated bc he's dealing with yet another fucking lookalike. But considering Exe is, as previously stated, an op creepypasta, if it came down to a fight they'd probably get their asses kicked. They're good, but probably not that good considering all the power Exe has at his disposal. Once they realise just how powerful this fucker is, they're like "oh shit wtf do we do"

Super on the other hand. Oh boy.

Idk if Exe was inspired by Fleetway's Super Sonic, but I do see a lot of similarities in them and their power levels. Like, Exe is some kinda eldritch horror I presume, and Super is made of chaos energy (corrupted chaos energy even, if we go by my headcanon). These bitches ain't normal and their powers and abilities go far beyond a normal mobian's. If it came down to a fight, I imagine they'd be pretty evenly matched. A winner would be hard to determine though bc they'd probably destroy the damn universe before they get to finish the fight

As for his reaction, it depends where in Super's arc Exe shows up. If it's when he's lost his memories and is a pacifist, he'd probably be fucking petrified. Not only is Exe terrifying for normal people anyway, Super has the added baggage of Exe's power reminding him of his own destructive side. He'd see the worst of himself in Exe, and it would terrify him

Maybe if things got bad he'd try to fight back because he knows his power is incredibly strong and might stand a chance against him, and he'd just hope he can stay in control, but that... probably wouldn't go well, as we saw in the comic when he tried to use his powers for good

Now if Exe showed up during any other point in Super's arc? Different story. When he's evil Super doesn't give a fuck about anyone or anything except causing havoc and destruction. It's the nature of the corrupted chaos energy he's made of. If Exe showed up out of the blue and started fucking shit up, he'd only see a challenge and, like any Sonic, would be ecstatic about it. Finally, someone who can match his power level, it will be fun to be forced to actually put in effort for once. Makes his inevitable win even more satisfying, when the light and hope slowly drains from this new guy's eyes as he realises he's been bested

At worst, he might get a little pissed that Exe is the one doing all the damage. Not because he cares about the planet or its people, but because he wants to be the one to destroy it. Probably a similar story if Exe killed Sonic; he feels it's his right to kill Sonic, and he doesn't want to share

I see a few people talk about the possibility of an alliance between the two, and that would definitely cause unbelievable amounts of destruction like holy hell they would be an unstoppable force together, but personally, I think Super is too selfish to ever consider such a thing. He's not interested in anything but destruction, and since he comes from Sonic's rude and selfish ass, he's not interested in sharing the fun

Basically, if he's in a good mood, Exe is a fun challenge. If he's in a bad mood, Exe is in his way and stealing his fun. Either way, if he's evil it's coming down to a fight, and unless they're stopped somehow (good fucking luck finding a way to do that) they'll take the whole dimension down with them. As I said, a winner would be hard to determine (since they both believe they're stronger and will be the inevitable winner, so they both believe they'll get to watch the other's face fall when they realise they're no longer the strongest being around) and even if someone did win, well, there'd be no one around to witness it

Actually, there's a really good video on YouTube that I love that pretty much shows how I think a fight between them might go (although again I'm not up to date with sonic.exe lore so idk how accurate the video is to his powers)

[dannyphantom-justiceleauge]

I'm glad you agree with Dani having wind powers. I have been thinking about the other halfa's and their powers and why they have them. Vlad is fire, which is volatile and hurts others but it can also keep people warm (perhaps there is hope for him in another universe) and is something often used in human invention and Vlad is very smart. Danny is his opposite, Ice. Unlike fire, ice could be used to subdue his enemies without hurting them (1/2)

(2/2) However Ice is also be sharp and dangerous (he can be mean sometimes) and it is cold, which could maybe represent how alone he feels. It could also be tied into his love for space as space is cold. If Jazz was a ghost, I think she would have water powers, since it's like a melted version of her brothers ice (lol). She is cool and collected and prefers to talk things out and understand rather than fight. She can also be rather overbearing sometimes, like an ocean. Sorry if this is long.

~ ~ ~

it’s interesting to think what the various halfa’s elements would be. makes me think of the into the spiderverse au. i like the idea that jazz would be water. it suits her. cool and collected, even sometimes associated with healing. but equally capable of devastation if used for violence. since psychology is her thing, i’d also draw a comparison to that. it’s used to help and heal, but when used by people like spectra it can be the most damaging attack possible. it can destroy people on a level deeper than physical. i’d likewise suggest that jazz would be the one to figure out bloodbending as a concept for this world, but would proceed to avoid using it. if she ever has a dark dan version of herself, i could see Black Jasmine being far more terrifying than him. when jazz goes bad, she’d go really bad

though in terms of what would push her to that point, it think it’d probably be more difficult and less difficult than what happened to danny. she is all about control and discipline. she’d use denial and psychology to manage for as long as possible. that is if it’s something that no one could have predicted or stopped. an accident. but if say it was a failure on the school or societies part... if say a case of bullying landed danny trapped in a locker during a ghost attack, unable to escape, and he died because of an attack that she was involved in. if he died with her not even aware that he was feet from her and in danger...

well i could see her losing herself in her guilt and anger at the world. he could have been saved. if he wasn’t being bullied, if the teachers had done something, if the ghost hadn’t attacked, if she had known he was there. like i said dark jazz is scary.

that aside, i also want all potential halfas to have elements associated with them now. we’re all pretty much agreed that tucker is electric type, due to his love of technology, but also his impulsiveness. electricity can do a lot of damage when not controlled properly and we’ve seen tucker on more than one occasion struggle with control. he’s overconfident and surprisingly reckless at times. when he’s in his element he’s fantastic but he’s been known to abuse power when he has it. i think that would be his main conflict as tucker ghouly, controlling his powers and using them responsibly.

sam would be representative of the element wood. which is associated with flexibility, durability, and strong emotions. because she’s our resident plant girl. she is willful and passionate but also stubborn and demanding. she demands the most of herself but also others, she wants everyone to thrive but sometimes forgets what’s best for her isn’t what’s best for other. her conflict might end up being empathy, because while she has it in spades, she doesn’t always know how to use it, if that makes sense. she tends to take things as a personal attack on her and her veiws when people disagree with her, which can be pretty dangerous, especially when people absolutely have reasons for their own opinions. she needs to learn to listen to others, if she’s going to be a proper hero

that would leave the final element, metal to val. metal is the most stubborn and inflexible of the elements. she’s strong and disciplined, unyielding in her attacks and views. but as we know that’s for better or worse. she really difficult to convince she’s wrong. she’d probably end up being one of the strongest out of them, she’d figure out the most ways to use her powers and how to shape metal to her advantage. i’m actually struck by the fun idea of val using her metal powers to make jewelry and running a small business selling it. this val would still manage to create a body armor and probably be better at maintaining anonymity with her ghost activity. though i also see her as overworking herself. she tries to do everything and ends up failing classes, alienating her friends, and too exhausted to think straight..she became a ghost before she was friends with danny, so i like the idea of them ending up friends, probably during the flour baby episode, and danny being the one to finally convince her to chill out and manage her health better. full human danny, is still all about helping people and is probably more stable and viably smart when he has time to do his homework. he’d probably offer to help her study and manage her business when too busy, and just having someone to lean on means everything to val.

until of course, plasimius kills jack fenton, and danny goes down the path of seeking vengeance and fighting ghosts. i actually don’t thing they’d know each others hunter identities at first, so they’d initially be fighting for real. danny is almost as stubborn as val. (ice is also inflexable until given the time to melt. and cold and harsh and deadly when angry). i see the green hunter being the most dangerous thing val has faced so far because danny is unrelenting. once she figures out who she’s fighting (i see her giving fenton a necklace of a star when he’s human and hunter losing the necklace during a fight and val discovering it and initially thinking it was stolen but figuring out the truth throughout the episode) fighting someone innocent, who’s justified, but still wrong, she’d be forced to learn to be more flexible and understanding, just to convince danny to stop. because let’s be real, she agrees with danny. plasmius killed his father, if she were in his shoes, he’d do the same thing, but she needs him to understand that she’s not the bad guy. not all ghosts are bad.

she’d also need to learn to be more flexible just to fight vlad/plasmius. because he is manipulative and her straight foward way of thinking and fighting would get her in trouble with him. i could see him framing her for a lot. he’d also be hanging around danny as vlad and manipulating danny that way. she’d essentially be fighting 2 different people who turn out to be the same person. vlad, the billionaire friend of the fentons who’s inserting himself into the grieving family’s lives and encouraging danny to fight vigilante justice. and plasmiaus the op ghost who literally murders people who get in his way. vlad would absolutely do everything he can to keep up the facade of innocent human. leaving all the damage to his ghost half. and val would struggle to prove that he’s evil.

that was a bit of a tangent, anyway. all of the halfa’s having elements associated with them and eventually having an ultimate team up in a universe that brings them together to fight something or another. a team up of the elements. vlad being there and joining the team up as still a villain who the team is suspicious of, but who they need to win. perhaps pariah dark escapes again but this time the mech isn’t available. and danny isn’t strong enough to face him alone. so parallel dimension team up. actually maybe not main danny’s universe. maybe it’s one of the other universes that can’t manage pariah dark on their own. possibly val’s again? if jack’s dead they don’t have a mech. might even be able to incorporate maddie inventing parallel-dimensional summoning in her attempts to bring jack back. bonus points if it’s vlad who’s funding this, knowing full well anyone summon would be unstable and turn to goo soon after arriving.

can you tell i love the into the dannyverse au? this was fun - Hestia
