So. I finally read this fuckass comic that's been talked about again recently. I'd only ever heard about it before so I decided to check it out. I'm gonna go through some of the pages and give my two cents because why not?

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, I don't get how Katara is "out of character" here. This is very reminiscent of Book 1 Katara, who was playful and teasing and immature and acted like, y'know, a kid. I know Bryke might have you thinking otherwise, but she shouldn't baby Aang all the time.

Especially because he is supposed to be practicing and just... isn't doing it. This was her way of lightheartedly trying to motivate him, which I think is pretty on brand for her.

You could make the argument that Katara is being dismissive here, but honestly? The subject clearly makes her uncomfortable. She was kissed (without consent) before a major battle by someone she saw as a friend. Of course she was uncomfortable. She has every right to not want to talk about or acknowledge it.

Calling that out of character is not doing Kataang shippers any favors when the most common criticism against them is their tendency to brush aside Katara's autonomy.

(At first when I saw this panel, I thought maybe she was being a little abrasive towards him. But... She's the same way with Toph in The Runaway. This isn't behavior that came out of nowhere. Why is it that it's only a problem when it comes to Aang?)

I guess a better question here is, is Aang out of character? For me, it's actually yes and no.

I think they made him overly mopey. Like yes, he's had his moments in the show, but drawing hearts in the dirt? What kind of shit is this??

Not to mention his weird little monologue inside the rock ("Who's really playing games here, Katara?" Are you actually serious, Bryke? Idc what anyone says, those words would never leave Aang's mouth). It feels like a bid to make him more sympathetic so that the reader feels bad for him. I'm fine labeling that OOC.

However...

Do I think Aang would purposely physically hurt Katara? No. Do I think Aang would get so caught up in his emotions that he stops being mindful of himself and his surroundings? Well.

Both times you could label an accident. But both times resulted from Aang being careless and being unable to regulate himself. Now, you could make the argument that this is OOC because Aang learned and developed past this point. And I would agree, if we were talking about Book 2 Aang or even mid to late Book 1 Aang.

But honestly, character regression is very on point for Book 3 Aang. Especially post DOBS. Most of you already know about my beef with Book 3 Aang, so I won't get into that.

Now, I do think that Aang would be a little more apologetic and guilty considering how regretful he was in Book 1. But him prioritizing his own feelings instead of how he affected her? Completely on-brand. In EIP he was upset about how he messed up his chances with Katara, not that he kissed her without consent and upset her.

But even if this couldn't fit Katara and Aang as characters, even if they were outlandishly OOC and completely different from the characters we knew, that doesn't really matter. This comic is official and canon. Just like the comics where Aang ignores her in favor of his weird fanclub and she swallows her hurt and puts up with it. Just like LOK where Aang is a neglectful father and Katara is a mild mannered housewife.

You can dislike this comic and criticize its portrayals all you want. But it's still canon. You can't ignore canon, especially when your main argument for Kataang being better than Zutara is that it's canon

tsukkiyama headcanons

i feel like sometimes it's so obvious you don't even have to type it out but... yams was feining for that blond noodle since the first time he laid eyes on him fr

and tsukki knew damn well 😭

idk if this is actually canon but kei genuinely has zero other friends besides tadashi. tadashi has other friends but everyone knows they exist second place to that tall lanky blond freak tadashi keeps skipping after

SPEAKING OF WHICH i know for a fact that all the boys spammed him with "the d riding goes crazy" memes in the gc. like the boy couldn't live

in usual situations like this, many would think tsukkiyama is one-sided or unrequited– but tadashi is so obvious and kei and him are obviously very close, and yet kei is so nonchalant about the whole thing that it just confuses the shit out of everyone. like tadashi will say the gayest shit and tsukki would just be straight-faced???? light work no reaction???

not to mention how he responds to "are you two dating?" with just "who made it ur business?" or "shut up" without any denial??? erm what the hell

the only one who doesn't suspect tsukki likes tadashi is tadashi himself because of his low self esteem.

tadashi would have mini crash outs every time a girl would go up to him asking how she could rizz kei.

also idc if this is just a popularised fanon headcanon the idea of a baby yamaguchi also having a crush on tsukki’s mum and older brother SENDS me so its true in my heart

they probably get together by accident. tadashi has to accidentally confess and then act like its the end of the world so badly that kei has to go like "ugh fine we can date can you chill now 😒"

its my personal headcanon that tsukki doesn't have a lot of positive romantic relationships to model after, so he has some pessimistic framing surrounding it, and trust issues, causing himself to distance himself from others and just force himself to be an emotional stone most of the time. but genuinely tadashi is like the only one he can actually be happy with. he's the only one who understands, doesn't force him to grow too fast, never has crazy expectations for him, is constantly loyal and supportive– like there's literally no way else kei can frame him in his mind, especially because they've been friends for so many years that kei knows tadashi just as well. maybe at the start he was like "he only wants to befriend me for protection, or because he's grateful" but it's so stupid to think like that now. tadashi is so honest and blatant about how much he adores kei

and despite tadashi's low self esteem, once kei tells him he likes him back i don't think tadashi'd doubt his word on that. he values tsukki's opinions so much that it literally overrides his insecurities. like kei would never lie about something like that to protect his feelings, nor would he say something like that if he wasn't completely sure.

yk damn well tadashi was flexing his man and not a singular person gaf

CANON btw that while everyone thinks kei is the coolest person to ever exist, he thinks tadashi is the coolest person to ever exist (aka one of the only people he respects bc do you really think mr. aura-farmer is going to be bsfs with someone he thinks isn't as cool as him?? tsukki thinks he's cooler)

go on the chillest dates ever. you'll rarely catch them at a five-star restaurant or on one of the swan boats but best believe they're going for late night walks around the neighbourhood munching on a shared dollar store cake on the sidewalk. best believe they're bed rotting together as they breeze through games on tadashi's nintendo. best believe they're having ice cream at the pier and then going to accidentally nap together at a thai massage place. its literally average best friend activities

kei is so anti-pda the furthest they go is hand holding in public

all over each other in private though dont get it twisted.

tadashi has all the love languages he's such a catch fr. some gift giving there. some words of affirmation here. a twinge of physical touch (kei's is just quality time all the way)

see from an outside perspective they seem like a constant couple but not like,,, anything too crazy. not like ridiculously-tripping-over-your-laces in love. not like words-leaving-your-brain-when-you-see-them-walk-through-the-door in love. not like sobbing-in-the-rain-at-the-thought-of-them-leaving-you in love. and then yams and kei get married at 19 prtty much straight out of high school. and its just like,,,, wait a sec...... so you guys are that crazy about each other…

you really think tadashi could hold out on proposing as soon as he’s legal to???? (if so then youre right, he wanted to give kei time and not rush it but kei was the one to propose immediately 😭).

kei took the yamaguchi surname just fyi

genuinely one of the most domesticated couples in this entire anime they get married and nothing changes immensely. they probably went on a short honeymoon and then very easily settled into husband duties

karasuno first years reunion always hosted at their place

tadashi supportive husband since day 1 always going to kei’s matched to cheer him. koganegawa always harps about it and it pissed kei off to no end

kei listening to tadashi bitch about his customers every second day and sometimes he’ll come in to yams’ workplace if he has an off day at the museum and pretend to be a irritating customer that needs like a whole hour of his time just to give yams a needed break

this one tiktok of the very sensitive wife and the toughnut husband when he gets her the jewellery shes always wanted and she starts crying bc she loves it so much and he starts making dry jokes about it and trying to act cool and nonchalant. meanwhile hes wearing matching pyjamas with her.

both cook and clean and run baths for each other and massage aches out of each other and nurse each other back to health when one falls sick. theyre gonna be wrinkly and old and still act the exact same im cryib

I saw some of your Adam x readers and really enjoyed them! I was wondering if you could do an Adam x reader where the reader is a trans man but still likes to wear dresses, skirts, and has like either medium length or long hair, but is also insecure about the fact that they won't be seen as a real guy. Have a wonderful day/night!

Omg as a trans guy myself writing this was some sort of healing I swear, I adore you for requesting trans reader! Also I hope you like it!

What it takes to be a man

pairing: Adam x trans!male!reader

warnings: a lil angst maybe? It's mainly fluff

note: not beta read bc idc

Things were rough up here in heaven, you thought that once you had died things would get easier but they didn't. Your body was still the same, still wrong. Everything was wrong, to be honest. Your voice was still too high for a guy's voice, your chest was still… well, too big for a man's chest and your curves weren't really helpful either. Waist too small, hip bones too pronounced.

When Adam entered the room you flinched for a moment, but only for a moment because as soon as the man entered the room he took his helmet off and greeted you with a cocky smile, “How’s my babe doing?”

You sent a small smile his way, then looked down to your hands. Yeah, how were you doing? That was actually a pretty good question. Not fine, that much you knew. So you said just that, there was no reason for you to lie to Adam after all, “Y’know I thought things would be different here.”

Adam's smile dropped almost immediately, a serious expression took its place. He put down the helmet on the bedside table and sat down next to you. “Yeah? In which way?”

You inhaled loudly, you tried to find the words, tried to explain how you felt, but it was just so hard to find the correct words to express your feelings. “In a ‘my body is still not it's way,” you then chose to say. “I’ve been struggling with that back on earth and I thought that here it might be different, that I'd get here with the body I feel like I should have been born in, you know?”

Well to be completely honest, Adam didn't know, nor did he fully understand the entire concept of body dysmorphia, but he didn't need to understand it, he was trying his best to keep you happy and that was what counted in the end. “Babes, why does it matter what other people think huh? You feel comfortable in dresses and skirts and those slutty crop tops, fuck, you look so fucking hot wearing them too,” his hand came to rest on your knee. He knew that being seen as a guy by others was a big deal to you, he didn't understand why though.

“No but that's the point, I wanna feel comfortable and confident but then people come up to me and tell me ‘what a pretty lady I am’ and I'm so sick and tired of being seen as a lady when I'm really not. I'm a fucking dude just like you're a dude, why can't people just see that?” It was exhausting, really. Because even when you corrected people they would try to take your identity from you, they usually said things like ‘men don't have long hair the way you do’ or ‘you wanna be a man? Then stop dressing like a woman'.

You weren't trying to be a man, you were a man.

“I see it,” Adam said and shot you a small smirk. Your head snapped sideways to look him in the eyes, “You do?” Adam made a hand gesture that was meant to say ‘Isn’t it obvious?’. “When I look at you I see my handsome boyfriend, you don't give two shits, you dress in what you feel comfortable, you wear your hair in ways that make you feel good and hands down, that's the hottest thing you can do, doesn't make you any less of a man.” His wing wrapped around your back softly, the tips of his feathers wrapped over your shoulder to gently pet your cheek. “You’re the most interesting angel I ever got to meet, babes. Don't let these assholes bring you down just because they can't see the most obvious thing.”

You tilted your head slightly, curiously looking up at your boyfriend, “N that is?” “That you're a motherfucking dude, babes,” he spoke like it was the most obvious thing, and to him personally it was. You've always been you, always been a man, nothing could ever change that. His hand slid smoothly through your hair, pushing the long silky strands out of your face. “And if some fuckface ever tries to claim anything else, you're gonna head straight up to me and I'll handle it, got it?” You knew he meant it and it warmed your heart that he cared so much. You leaned against his arm, your head was resting against his shoulder as you whispered a quiet “Thank you”.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Ok, but for the most part it’s "ok, if I'm a doctor, I could help Toya more, right?", then, "if I knew stuff about medicine, maybe Shoto's scar wouldn't be as bad", or "maybe I would have been able to help Mom", "maybe dad would pay me more attention", until finally after Fuyumi its "ok, I'm becoming a doctor, cause clearly NONE of these guys KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!"

yeah!!

I think I have to plan more on how the lack of care happens especially in the like. Even the most sucky doctor would probably go above and beyond for a Hero's kid.

hm.

Maybe all the malpractice happens when Enji is not literally right there? Like he has to go to work and stuff so like. While he's there for some he mostly thinks Fuyumi is old enough to handle herself and thinks the doctors would take care of her fine.

But you get doctors that think 'oh a girl so we're gonna have to take 30 pregnancy tests just to give you stitches. Idc if you claim to be a virgin teenagers lie all the time' and 'what do you mean the numbing agent didn't work? Clearly you're just overreacting because girls can't handle pain'. Bonus points for 'hm you're some rich teenager so you're probably trying to score drugs so we won't give you any more than a single tylenol'. Double bonus points for doctors telling her to ice the wound but hey ice does literally nothing because her body's immune to it

(Enji finds out and does Deal With It™, but he wasn't there in the moment which is what Natsuo is more focused on)

[your-queer-dad]

hey dad,

my friend (lets call them A) talked to some of my friends about how me, them and one of my other friends (lets say they are B) about how A and B use they/them pronouns and how some days im fine with she/her but i prefer they/them, so friend uhh lets say friend C was like yeah, cool, sure, can do, fine with me (not in those exact words) and then friend lets say D was like yeah ill try but why didnt they (me and B) tell them (C and D) ourselves.

the reason i didnt tell D is because she on that day showed me a tiktok that was like 'yeah i mean i guess people keep saying theres more than 2 genders but in a hundred years people are gunna dig us up and they will only see two genders" and that crap and she gave me an expression that was like "wait actually this guy has a point". and i just nodded and go back to reading (context we were on the bus and my book was quite exciting and i didnt have the energy to say nah that guy is wrong and explain why)

A was like well maybe they (me and B) were worried about how you would react. and she was like idc abt what pronouns my friends use i dont know why they would think id react badly, and A was like well when i came out (for context A has changed their name and pronouns and its on the roll and stuff) you used she/her for me when you knew i went by they/them

so this is where its less about me so D is like well ive known B since like year 1 and its hard to call them not a girl since thats what ive always known them as (half a lie B has been out to her for about a year now) and A being the angel they are was like yes i know its hard and it takes time.

then she (D) says and i quote:

but also calling someone not he or she is just strange to me, as you know i never got it with you but i got your new name it just doesnt sound right to me and in my brain theres girl and boy and thats it... i mean i know theres more now but its just weird to me (not in a hate people who want to be called that way) but you know

and i mean its not a suprise she thinks this way to me, but considering about half (3/7) of our school friend group are non binary its a but worrying.

now on to today today she called B she/her the entire day not one they/them, but she did call A they once i dont think she called them she. C wasnt there today

sorry this is so long, and its just me overthinking everything but i kinda needed to talk to someone about it

-galaxy

Hey kiddo, I don't think you're overthinking but I also don't think your friend is being intentionally harmful. It's hard when you've been raised one way and it changes, but also your friend needs to respect your pronouns and names and maybe educate herself about it, if half of your friend group is non-binary.

- dad x

Chapter 2 November 1 Thread B

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Dr. Toranosuke said that im ugly and I have to fix it because he doesnt like looking at my face can you do something about my grafts

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] ummmmm i can try but idk im not actually super good at makeup i just do a little bit for work also your grafts are rlly shitty so idk if i can totally cover them up you might just have to become a circus freak or something

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] jk about the circus but not about the makeup uhhh i can try?

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] wtf maybe if he didnt want you to have scars he shouldnt have given you such awful skin grafts on your effing face LOL

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Yeah no i dont really get it either but he said to cover them so

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] I dont think my arms and face are that bad honestly most of it is on my back and my legs and my ass and stuff but those are normally covered because clothing

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] not to be rude but if my entire ass got skin grafted i think id kill myself fuhato im not gonna lie to you

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Yeah no I kind of wanted to but Dr Toranosuke said im not allowed so I just came back to work after

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] aww wait no dont kill urself fuhato youre so so cute i didnt mean it :( your ass is probably cute too you look good in dress pants at least? i mean i look at your ass sometimes i think its nice :(

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Thanks that actually really helps my ego a lot

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] LOL GOOD i can try your makeup though idc. im not afraid of scars like DR. TORANOSUKE?? why would you become a doctor who hates scar tissue what a dipshit lol

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] he was getting on suga for his ear thing like??? why are you a doctor if you hate sick people so much wtf lol

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] im gonna have to go buy makeup for you though cuz uhhhh something tells me my foundation will not help you lololol

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Please dont spend money on me anna I can buy it myself and just bring it or I can pay you or something

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] naw its fine ill cover this you cover me all the time dw about it you wont even know what to buy

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Also thank you for being willing to touch me

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] BECAUSE YOURE NOT GROSS omg stop that hes just being a dick seriously youre not gross youre very good looking and cute hes being stupid

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Thank you, sorry for being all weird he just kind of gets in my head sometimes and I kind of miss not looking weird

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] ok but think of this: youre young and handsome and hes old and grey and disgusting so i think hes probably just jealous actually

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] I find that rather impolite.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Since you two seem to be done speaking, allow me to elaborate on my stance.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Dr. Daikubara, to be clear, I find you absolutely repulsive to look at. THAT is why I've asked you to cover your hideous facial scars. There's no other reason. I find you ugly, and I don't want to look at you.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] I tried to be polite by going through Dr. Ibano, but clearly you're irritatingly dense and require a more direct approach. I find you genuinely putrid to look at. Either remedy that or make yourself scarce.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Your most compelling trait is that you are exceptionally attractive to carrion-eating insects. I hope that serves as an adequate point of pride for you. Personally, I find it unimpressive, but perhaps for you, it's somewhat of an accomplishment.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Dr. Kasuga, the fact that you have maintained a position on this team for this amount of time is leagues beyond my understanding. You are exceptionally stupid. Type with some degree of syntax in the workplace.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] From my understanding, you contribute nothing, and yet continue to spend your entire shift blithering on about nonsense in your private messages and bothering your coworkers. I find it very, very grating.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] The fact that you respect yourself enough to call yourself a doctor while actively doing nothing at all is something I can't seem to grasp. Perhaps now would be a good time to close this tab and begin doing some work.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Both of you are absolute pestilence embodied. If you understand that, please let me know, so that I can close this thread in a timely manner.

[294553703 / Fuhato Daikubara] Understood, extremely sorry

[762978338 / Anna Kasuga] Understood. Sorry.

[154314147 / Kan Toranosuke] Well now, that's much better, isn't it? You can resume working now. Let's keep these threads a bit more professional in the future.

THREAD CLOSED

[sankttealeaf]

this is late but any out of 14,18,22,24,27 for the writer asks? <3

this is also a late response but here we go<3 answering these fic writer asks!

14. where do you get your inspiration?

mainly when i'm laying in bed trying to go to sleep. i like to just put my guys into situations and sometimes i come up with good things. i have a lot of bad spoon days so i'm stuck in bed just thinking about things

the market scene in let sleeping dogs lie where gortash buys rue a cat figurine and she breaks it came from a week last december where i got sick and couldnt do much except lay in bed. i had that scene planned months before i would ever need to write it :')

i'm always thinking of situations!! its not a bad coping mechanism if i'm getting something out of it, right?

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

a scene from a cut chapter where gortash takes rue to a fancy dinner to get her to kill someone for him - this got turned into the party chapter :) the gift in question are her little dagger earrings but i ended up making gortash give them to her later on as a thank u for looking after him post-cania

She rolls her eyes. “Maybe we should sleep together. That way I’ll be rid of you.” “You would miss me.” “I wouldn't. Not when you keep putting me in shitty clothes like this.” “You look divine. I think you should let me dress you up more often. You would look exquisite covered in fine jewellery and expensive fabrics. Speaking of-” He takes out a small box from the inside of his coat, the sudden loss of his hand against her leg feels odd and Rumour takes this moment to put her feet back down on the floor. Gortash hands her the box. “If you’re proposing, at least get on your knees,” she says as he laughs. “Do you think of me often on my knees?” “Yes.” She takes the box from him. “It is required to kneel before me in the temple. You could do with following that rule.” “It would take more than that to get me to kneel before you.” He sits back, waiting for her to open the box. “You, on the other hand, would look delightful on your knees in front of me.” “Think of me often like that?” she repeats, an eyebrow raised and a smirk across her face. “I’m certain that me kneeling before you has nothing to do with being a devout follower of the Gods.” “What you could do on your knees is something the Gods only wish they could do.” “I’m not getting you off, Gortash.” “You don’t have to be kneeling to do that.” He nudges his leg against hers. “Open the gift.”

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you’re writing? how do you get past that?

i used to! bad in the early days of sharing my durgetash stuff i was worried that people would find me weird for being on the gortash train, but as time has gone on there's a (relatively) nice community for durgetash now which has eased my worries

i also think i'm at the point in my life where i dont really care if people think what i'm writing is too much or whatever. i write for myself & share it in case anyone else wants to read it, but at the end of the day its for me. idc what people may think!!

24. how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

i try and do something else completely! i also draw, so i tend to flip-flop between writer mode and artist mode a lot which is great! i also listen to a lot of music to help get me in the zone. but sometimes the best cure is to not do anything at all and wait it out !!

27. your favorite part of the writing process

daydreaming about all the ideas i have and planning them down into vaguely coherant points

and also writing the parts i really really am excited for and can visualise so clearly in my head

[nommynomnom268]

I gen hate yall <3 /lh

Like wtf? Are you depressed? Or do you hate me? Why are you ignoring me? Do you not have motifs on? Cuz last time i asked you said "no i do" so ur just purposefuly ignoring me or u turned off my notifs.... But like you would notice? So its on purpose, and like.... I... Wtv, im just taking that as a "fuck you im not ur friend and ur annoying af im just still"friends" with you because i feel bad if im not"

Yea, i do gen assume that and no i will not just be like "oh he said sorry, ha! Alr! Its fine then :D"

Thats it im only turning on notifs for TWO people. The only two who havent repeatedly/never done anything like this or qorse to me, marley and nirami,

Maybe i should let our streak die with alex

Maybe i should just stop conatct with everyone except marley and nirami for a few days

Alright for the next week i aint interacting w anyone except marley and nirami (also only sending one thing to alex a day for the streak)

Bc tbh, its pissing me tf out (if you havent noticed) like i thought we were good friends? U havent interacted with a single thing i have made/posted in more than a week? Wtf? Also nick idgaf anymore, he gen hates me and I know that, and he makes me feel horrible with every interaction so idc abt him,

Anyways if marley does ever find this blog (all it would take is for her to check my vent blog. But its fine. I like being not cared about anyways (ik thats mean im just rlly salty rn so sorry in advance)) uhh im sorry...?

But i would never kms bc of some randos online, i still care for u but if I dissapear either im just done, moved on, or commited (due to other reasons)

I might lie that I commited but other than that idk

[daikitwo]

more ao lie!! because ao lie makes things better!! (tw)

repost bc the images messed upppp,, anddd editing repost

i want ao lie to help me shower today :,) give me the strength to let everyone yell at me because im skipping class, idc, i need him to help me wash my leg 💚 my girl(/p) got me some nice looking soaps, ,, im pretending he got them for me.. 😔😔 living is okay for now. but i'm starting to see why people want to have healthy limbs removed. i just dont understand how it could happen in public and nobody notice. i mean, my ex did something similar, but i was dating her. like i was fine with her doing that shit in private and never really thought to set boundaries in public so i just went with it. but this guy isn't even dating me.

ao lie would kill him for sure 💚💚 look how sweet my precious looksss... he'd make sure nobody would ever touch his precious attendant (me..) again <3 then he'd help me wash my leg for a bit and then pamper me <3 maybe with hot chocolate or something. im not mentally ready for anything right now but it keeps getting piled on me,, he'd help distract me and take my mind off everything 💚 ofc, I'd have to remember eventually. i mean its all rlly important. but whateverrrrr. im living in the present and i think im fine, physically.

heres some photos of my lovely <3 i think ao lie is just my go-to for this type of situation.

[stormblessed95]

Addressing Everything

So by now, most of you have probably seen all the drama that is occurring for the past week. I've been aware of it since it started. I haven't said anything as I was hoping it would die down on its own, but that's clearly not happening.

Mrs-monaghan, along with a few others do not like me. She thinks I'm toxic, a bully, forcing people to agree with me or get blocked, etc. I don't regret my choice to block people when I block them, and I will continue to utilize the block button whenever I feel the need to. I will say that I am not blocking anyone for a difference of opinion. I'm blocking someone when I feel the need to remove their posts or comments from the content I consume on this site, my content is part of that consumption and interaction i have on here. I am a believer in curating your timeline to best fit you. That is what I'm using the block button for. I don't want to see hateful posts, I don't need people in my comments calling me names either for my opinion. I've always been willing to agree to disagree and a lot of the times, the comment section in my posts over more "controversial" topics shows that.

Alot has been claimed about me being different in DMs than I am on the timeline. I don't think that's true. I'm usually more willing to discuss things more in depth and have a more lengthy back and forth discussion over a topic in DMs than I am in an anon ask. But that is something I've also made clear in many of my posts. I also do generally curse more in my language as its vernacular that i use a lot in my daily life and ill have more typos/be less polished. Which I think is fair during a less formal conversation. I am also more than willing to post Screenshots of my DM history with Mrs-monaghan if anyone feels the need to see them since that has been a sticking point for her. I don't mind. I dont want to, but not because im worried about it, but because i didnt/dont feel the need to continually fan the flames of all of this or fight with her about it. She is entitled to not like me and i dont need to try to convince anyone otherwise.

I don't think anyone should be name calling when addressing another blogger and if the name wasn't intended to be derogatory, then it could be changed when making future comments about them, now that other people have gotten involved. I do think that should be said. Call me what you want, but if a mean idc about you nickname is derogatory in nature and it's not intended to be, maybe come up with something else. But honestly, none of this is really the point of my post here right now.

I've seen all the mean posts being made and sent in about me after I said I would start blocking people for shady posts against Tae (shady, not critical or questioning, but posts that were rude and mean in nature.) And honestly, that's fine. I cannot control what other people think or how they feel about me. They are all entitled to those opinions and feelings. I wont lie that i was a little surprised at some of the people who participated in these posts and signed off on them. But thats okay.

I did not and still do not want people going to her blog or any of the others who have said things to defend me or shame anyone in anyway. Losing followers if people believe their posts is okay. I've never been here for the numbers. I can't control what people do or say about me and I don't want to. If people end up not liking me because of that, that's honestly okay. I don't need people Bullying (in anyway you want to consider the word) anyone in defense of me. I don't appreciate that. If i get an ask and I answer it with my opinion and it disagrees with other peoples, that's where I want that to end. I don't need anyone telling other bloggers I'm right and they are wrong. It's all just opinions in the end. I've never wanted anyone to use my posts as a way to argue with other people. Everyone can choose to engage and interact with the content on here that they choose and how they choose to do so.

I do just want anyone else here to know that if I have offended or upset anyone on here, I am always willing to talk about it. My DMs have been open for that reason. I am willing to agree to disagree if that energy is also returned. I'm willing to bend on a lot honestly. I won't apologize for blocking the people who have been interacting with posts that are hateful to me or about how they don't like me. That is something I am doing for my own mental well being and safety. I don't need people who actively dislike me around me. And I think that is fair.

That's all. Just if anyone is making more posts or going to plan to send in asks, I'm asking you not to and to let it go. I don't need to change anyone's mind about me. They are free to not like me as much as they want. That's okay. I don't need anyone defending me.

Thank you for reading if you got this far. If you choose to unfollow, that's fair and totally up to you. I hope everyone has a good day.

A Court of Wings and Ruin, chapter 66:

Frowning at the mirror, I braided my hair and shrugged on my jacket, hissing at the movement in my shoulder. Another day or two, and the pain might be minimal enough to wield a sword. Maybe.

We are not talking enough about the fact that Feyre caught an ash arrow when she rescued Elain???

I quietly asked the nearest camp-mother to dig up some platters of food for my sisters . Elain was likely starving, and I doubted Nesta had eaten anything during the hours we’d been gone. The winged matron only asked if I needed anything, and when I told her I was fine, she just clicked her tongue and said she’d make sure food found its way to me, too. I didn’t have the nerve to request she find some of Amren’s preferred food as well. Even if I had no doubt Amren would need it—

Pls, the way Feyre thinks about gettim them all food 😭 she's so mother

Long-limbed creatures like shards of ice given form stalked past, tall enough to plant the cobalt-and-silver banners atop various tents; wagons were hauled by sure-footed reindeer and lumbering white bears in ornate armor, some so keenly aware when they ambled by that I wouldn’t have been surprised if they could talk. White foxes scuttled about underfoot, bearing what looked to be messages strapped to their little embroidered vests.

Not gonna lie, the winter court sounds amazing

My brows rose. The human girl— Briar— was with them. Now tucked beneath Viviane’s arm, face still bruised and swollen in spots, but … smiling timidly at the Winter Court ladies.I spoke before she could get the first word out, “You gave Briar over to them?” We fell into step back toward our own camp. “Az explained the state you found her in. I didn’t think being exposed to battle-ready Illyrians would do much to soothe her.” - “And the Winter Court army is much better?” - “They’ve got fuzzy animals.”

Viviane is also very mother. And the fuzzy animal comment is VALID

Mor glanced sidelong at me. “You did a very brave thing in saving Briar.” - “Anyone would have done it.” - “No,” she said, adjusting her tight Illyrian jacket. “I’m not sure … I’m not sure even I would have tried to get her. If I would have deemed the risk worth it. I’ve made enough calls like that where it went badly that I …” She shook her head.

I love Feyre so much 😭

"And when I saw you two vanish … I had this thought, this terror, that I might not get to see you again. To make things right.” - “I said things I didn’t really mean to—” - “We both did.” She led me up to the tree line at the border of both our camps,

When I tell you I love them

She leaned against a towering oak, foot tap-tapping on the ground. “No more lies between us.” Guilt tugged on my gut. “Yes,” I said. “I— I’m sorry about deceiving you. I just … I made a mistake. And I’m sorry.”

“I don’t love Azriel.” I remained perfectly still. Listening. “No, that’s not true, either. I— I do love him. As my family. And sometimes I wonder if it can be … more, but … I do not love him. Not the way he— he feels for me.” The last words were a trembling whisper. “Have you ever loved him? That way?” - “No.” She wrapped her arms around herself. “No. I don’t … You see …” I’d never seen her at such a loss for words. She closed her eyes, fingers digging into her skin. “I can’t love him like that.” - “Why?” - “Because I prefer females.”

Idc what you think about this plot I LOVE that Feyre is the first to know

"— I am stronger than him. It was … It was the idea of being bred like a prize mare, of being forced to give up that one part of me …” Her mouth wobbled, and I reached for her hand, prying it off her arm. I squeezed gently as tears began sliding down her flushed face.

I LOVE MORRIGAN

“Her name was Andromache. And she was … so beautiful. And kind. And I loved her … so much.” Human. Andromache had been human. My eyes burned. “But she was human. And a queen— who needed to continue her royal line, especially during such a tumultuous time. So I left— went home after the last battle. And when I realized what a mistake it was, that I didn’t care if I only had sixty more years with her … The wall went up that day.” A small sob came out of her.

I literally can't imagine how hard that must have been for Mor. Ugh, I wanna hug heeeer

I squeezed her hand once more. “You’ll tell them when you’re ready. And I’ll stand by you no matter what. Until then … Your secret is safe. I won’t tell anyone— even Rhys.” - “Thank you,” she breathed. I shook my head. “No— thank you for telling me. I’m honored.” I said quietly. “But I understand. And, again … when you decide the time is right, whether it’s tomorrow or in another five hundred years … I’ll have your back.”

Everybody deserves a friend like Feyre Archeron

“What?” she asked, coming to my side. “I was just thinking,” I said, smile growing, “that whenever you’re ready … I was thinking about how much fun I’m going to have playing matchmaker for you.” Mor’s answering grin was brighter than the entirety of the Day Court.

FEYRE ALREADY PLANNING TO PLAY MATCHMAKER

“If I end my life defending those who need it most, then I will consider it a death well spent.” Lord Devlon, for once, nodded his approval.

Pls that is so hot of Cassian

“We’ll need all the strength we have to fight Hybern,” Kallias said carefully. “Wasting it on winnowing humans—” - “It is no waste,” I said. “One life may change the world. Where would you all be if someone had deemed saving my life to be a waste of time?” I pointed to Rhys. “If he had deemed saving my life Under the Mountain a waste of time? Even if it’s only twenty families, or ten … They are not a waste. Not to me— or to you.” Viviane was giving her mate a sharp, reproachful glare, and Kallias had the good sense to mumble an apology.

We love Viviane in this house

Since we are talking about retro games (well, I AM, idc about the rest of you) I'm reminded of Starlancer and Freelancer, I got the Starlancer CD with a magazine when I was like 7 or 8 (maybe it's still there somewhere) and played it until it scratched and I played Freelancer as an adult, they're really good

the games themselves are fine they're very good space shooters and Freelancer is an excellent space trucker simulator (yes that's its own genre) with very good combat exploration and a living universe...

the "funny" thing about them is the geopolitical setup, in Starlancer you fight all across the solar system in a war for the Alliance which is made of the USA, the EU, Japan and Latin America it's unclear (more on that later)... So basically Space NATO against the Coalition that is made of China, Russia, and the "Tigris Confederation" or the "Saracens" it's so hkdjfjkssdjsdhj it's U-S-A AND ITS LITTLE BUDDIES AGAINST THE AXIS OF EVIL COMMIE-MUSLISMS (the game was released in 2000 btw), your friendly squad is mostly composed of Usamericans, British, Japanese and a few Latinos (again, it's unclear) and all the enemies have stupid accents and moustache twirling monologues it's so racist it comes all the way down to funny because how balant it is seriously even my cousin at 12 or 13 noticed... like you remember that Top Gun parody Hot Shots where all the Arab pilots have names like Falafel? It's exactly like that but taken seriously

NOW the sequel Freelancer is an amazing game where you can explore star systems and stuff, the story is good there's a lot of worldbuilding, but the backstory is as follows: some Aliens destroyed the Solar System (I acutally believe it was retconned from the Coalition destroying the Solar System because that would be too racist even for them), and the Alliance sent colony ships to escape (the rest of the world gets fucked I guess) which made new nations across the stars but they're basically the same nations of the Alliance now even more stereotyped, so you start in Space USA with planets such as New Manhattan, New Alaska, etc. and there's also Space England with a Space London which is rainy, Space Japan, Space Germany which has lots of space factory planets and starts wars at random, you get the idea

but the fifth lost colony ship, which was called the Hispania (AJHGHJSDGJHDFS MUERE DE CRINGE ODIO ODIO ODIO) apparently was supposed to represent both Spain and Latin America (because Hispanics I guess) apparently was destroyed or sabotaged because the captain was bad or something.

And what happened to the survivors of the Latin American themed ship?

they became drug dealers and bandits.

(you can't interact with them in game btw)

yeah.

it's still a fun space shooter, not gonna lie.

protective/possessive alpha iwa-chan and semisemi popping in when someone's making their gf (omega or beta idc really) uncomfy👉🏼👈🏼

a/n - went for a beta reader with iwa because i thought i'd branch out a bit. never written specifically for a beta before so i hope it went alright!

warnings - reader in an uncomfortable situation, kind of harassment??

you forced a smile onto your face. it was tight-lipped, almost a grimace, as one hand closed around your wrist, the other bracing against the wall at your head, blocking an escape route. you glanced around, hoping to make eye contact with at least someone. the corridor was, unfortunately, empty, most people still watching the volleyball game. you would have still been there, you pondered, if you hadn't decided to go to the toilet, if you had just stayed in your seat and watched the games conclusion. still, it was odd that this alpha was coming onto you. as a beta, you had never felt helpless. often you managed to slip under the radar, your scent not enticing enough to attract any extra attention.

"um, could you maybe let go of my wrist?" you questioned, giving your arm a tug. his fingers loosened, allowing you to pull your hand away. you cradled it to your chest, nose wrinkling at the sudden scent that permeated your nostrils. "any reason why you're so close to me?"

"should there be a reason?" the alpha questioned, pressing closer to you, his nose brushing the tip of yours. you grimaced then, jerking your head back, it hitting the wall with a thump. "shouldn't a beta like you be honoured to have got my attention? i know omegas who would beg to be this close to me."

"well, i already have an alpha," you stammered, gesturing at the teal jacket you were wearing to illustrate your point. the alpha simply scoffed.

"you really expect me to believe an alpha actually claimed you?"

"isn't that what you were trying to do?" growled a voice, a scent of pine wafting towards you. you sucked in a lungful, feeling your breathing calm as you turned your head, eyes locking with iwaizumi's. the worry was clear, masking the anger momentarily as he assessed you for any harm. he was thankful there were no bite marks in your neck, unsure of how much longer he would have been able to maintain control. as it were, his patience was growing thin.

the alpha chuckled, turning his head to regard iwaizumi coolly. "why don't you leave us alone, yeah?"

"or maybe you could step the fuck away from my mate," he spat, taking another step forward, scent flaring. the alpha's eyes widened at that, his nostrils twitching as he breathed in your scent. there was an unmistakable hint of pine. "what? only just realised they're mine, that they smell of me? not much of an alpha if you couldn't have figured out that much."

his lips were drawn back in a snarl as he reached forward to yank the alpha away, shoving him onto the floor. iwaizumi spared you a single glance before he lost himself in his anger, pinning the alpha to the floor and launching a fist at hia face. the blows rained down; the sound of a nose cracking echoed through the corridor. you let out a shout, rushing forward to grab at his wrist, stopping its descent.

"stop, haji, please," you begged, wishing you were an omega in this moment. you could have used your scent to calm him. as it were, you only had your presence. you pressed your free hand to his cheek, realising belatedly that this wasn't the best move. moments before, it was this hand that had been held in the alpha's grip. iwaizumi's nose twitched at the scent, another growl escaping.

"he fucking touched you," he hissed, pulling his wrist from your grip and landing a solid hit to the alpha beneath him. almost feral, he looked up at you again. "where else did he touch you?"

"nowhere, i promise," you pleaded, resting a hand on his shoulder, nails digging in. "let's just go. please, haji."

iwaizumi grumbled, looking back into your pleading eyes then down at the alpha beneath him. reluctantly, he stood from the floor, shooting the alpha one last glare before you were tugging him away.

"why did you leave?" he asked, pulling you to a stop once you had left that corridor. his arms were around your waist, holding you close as he buried his nose in your hair, drawing in a deep breath. his heart was racing and you reached up to run your fingers through his hair.

"i'm safe, hajime," you reassured him, hand rubbing up and down his back in a soothing motion. you leaned fully into him, resting your head against his chest. "nothing bad happened to me."

"it could have," he mumbled, lips brushing the top of your head. "i've never been so scared, so angry. i-i never thought something like this could happen to you. i should've scented you more, made it clear you're off limits."

"that might not have changed anything," you sighed, pulling away slightly, hands reaching up to rest on his shoulders. you offered up a weak smile, though your mind still replayed those moments before he'd come, when you didn't know what would have happened. "don't beat yourself up about it. i'm fine now. i'm safe."

you leaned in, brushing your lips against his once , twice, until he kissed you back, pulling you into him harshly. his hand tangled in your hair, cupping the back of your head as he kissed you, his lips soft against yours despite the fierceness of your embrace.

discreetly, eyeing the alpha looming beside you, you slipped out your phone and typed a hurried message to semi. hitting the send button, you slipped it back into your pocket. your eyes flicked upwards, noting the way he was looking at you as if it were his right to. you tugged at the jacket hanging from your frame, pulling it around you, arms wrapping around your waist. a smirk formed across the alpha's face, and he leaned into you.

"what are you covering up for, omega?" he questioned, ignoring the way you shifted away from him, bumping into a person to your right. "i was enjoying the view."

"i'm not interested," you stated, scanning the crowd hoping to spot a familiar head of ashy-blonde hair. "i already have an alpha."

"doesn't mean i can't appreciate the view," he grinned, a fingertip running lightly along your cheekbone. you flinched, pulling away from him, eyes widening. "plus, i don't see any alpha. if it were me, i wouldn't have left you all alone."

"um, he's actually performing, that's why," you stammered, pointing vaguely in the direction of the stage to reiterate your point. after this encounter, it was unlikely semi would let you watch from the audience again. he had told you it was a bad idea, had tried to make you stay backstage with him, but you had wanted to experience it within the crowd, feel the energy radiating from them.

the alpha let out a laugh, tilting his head in amusement. it was clear he thought it was a lie, likely one told by many omegas who had been in your position. at that present moment, the only thing keeping your palms from growing clammy was the knowledge that semi was heading towards you. taking a slight step back, you peered around the alpha's form, making eye contact with semi through the crowd. his jaw tightened at the sight.

he moved through the crowd effortlessly, cutting through the people until his hand clamped down onto the alpha's shoulder, fingers digging in. semi growled, the sound low and threatening, "back off."

"okay," laughed the alpha, holding his hands up in surrender. "i get it, dude. i'll go. plenty of other omegas out there."

though the comment, the alpha's blasé attitude, didn't sit right with semi, he couldn't afford to focus on it, stepping towards you immediately. you collapsed into his chest, taking in a deep lungful of his scent. it grounded you, made you feel safe. one arm wrapped around your waist, the other resting on the back of your head as he held you to him. your hands clung to the material of his t-shirt, and you glanced up at him.

"thank you, eita," you breathed, brushing a kiss to the underside of his jaw. his arms tightened around you at the affectionate and he pressed a brief kiss to the top of your head.

"next time you want to watch from the crowd, i'm inviting ushijima and he can stay with you."

you nodded, not eager for a repeat of the situation you had found yourself in.

BOTW (and AOC) GUYS: RANKED BY HOW HOT THEY ARE

get ready for some heinous opinions! so im ranking the guys in botw by how hot they are and im taking No criticism. idk if i forgot anyone but i tried

check it out under the cut 

sorry but this twink is just. average. like Painfully average. hes like white bread. therefore he gets an average score. i can appreciate hes a cute lookin guy? but like. thats it. if u fancy link u probably like mayonnaise. he looks like mayonnaise. grow a fuckin tache or smth dude for the love of god. 5/10 very normal.

ok im a diehard bird simp but like... this boy is fuckin ugly lmao. hes pretty at the same time tho? nice smile, nice eyes, nice voice but yellow eyebrows? green eyes? red makeup? clown. he’s a bird clown. tho i guess some ppl find clowns hot so this one’s for the pennywise crowd. 5/10. he’s a 10/10 in my heart tho.

now this is a MAN. u got the good smile, the strong arms, the r i p p l i n g  m u s c l e s. he is a man u can trust. his arm hair is a bit wild but if u dont like his incredible facial hair, then.... idc. 7/10. they made a rock handsome. thats impressive. 3 points off for the forehead vagina tho. dont like that.

hot fucking damn. this is what we in the biz call a raging dilf. he looks like the kind of dad that never grew out of his punk rock phase. idk how i feel abt the broken traffic light look but its fine. just look into his gorgeous eyes and listen 2 his deep gravelly voice as he tells u to fuck off and leave him alone. perfection. the voice already makes him like 20/10 but the mullet is fucking awful and he should be penalised for that. 8/10. grow a fringe like the rest of us.

ah the shape of water... ok yeah the fish is fuckable ill grant u that. hes All fuckin torso tho and his eyes r constantly pointing in different directions which is not the Most Flattering Look and he Will hit u with his head handlebars and it will hurt. the 24-pack aint half bad either but i always get this feeling that he looks like he skips... some kind of day. not arm day, not leg day, but... some kind of day. maybe brain day.  8/10. sharp teeth are always sexy.

10/10. i dont fuckin care if u hate his hair- this man probably invented the most effective hairspray in existence just to make that happen. respect him. u cannot deny hes hot tho like theres just Something about him. the confidence... the attitude... i worry about revealing his eyes tho. theres a 50% chance it will not work in ur favour and he’ll just look heinous. full 10/10 tho. old robbie is also not bad 2 look at if ur not a coward but he Might leave u for an easy bake oven so like. watch out for that.

well the queen saw something in him??? i genuinely fear the idea of ever getting to see his chin from under that magnificent beard tho. he’s probably got the jawline of a russian power lifter. anyway for an old guy hes not lookin that bad so long as u dont mind a receding hairline. ill b nice. 5/10. for a king u could do worse. ill be taking complaints about this take in my dms. bring a bat. 

where do i begin. i love beedle. i rlly do but theres.... so much going on. personality is a 10/10, business skills are 10/10/ haircut is -50/10 and the crop top....? well ill give him 10/10 for confidence. 4/10 im sorry he is just a Lot to look at. he looks like rock lee tried to become a slutty pirate king. shonen jump will have a lot to answer for.

the colour scheme is... better than revali, tho i didnt realise how obnoxious it was until i actually got a good look at him. ive never seen a bird look so top heavy before but this mans got 5 kids so i have nothing but respect for my king. kass is for the dilf crowd that like the dad bods. 8/10 he is quite nice to look at ngl. he’s like revali but light mode.

ok yunobo is very cute i wont lie but the hair is just massively disarming. idk its all i can think about. is this a goron emo phase?? is that what that is?? ive been staring at it for like 5 minutes and i still cant work out if i like it or not. 5/10 he is a humble lad. 

under all that gear kohga could look like willem dafoe x50 and id still find him attractive. he cant be hot tho. he just cant be. like looks wise he has to be 1/10 under that there is no way this man could feasibly be conventionally attractive and tbh i like it that way. banana boy gets 6/10. hotter than revali. revali looks like a clown but kohga looks like the entire fucking circus

there is nothing unattractive about bolson. 10/10. sha-ding

i hate the hair i hate the hair i hate the hair i hate the hair SO fucking much but the voice. he has to be hot under that gear with a voice like that. if hes not well. just close ur eyes. the voice will take care of the rest. 8/10 the crack in his mask actually makes him look sexier and i dont understand how that can happen

????????????????????????? he looks. like an old man? i swear those big wingy bits are his eyebrows but i cant Quite be sure. why would a tree need eyebrows. ??/10 keep ur questionable gifts to urself

-100000/10 who the fuck let this budget pokemon npc in here. he looks like he should b leading team ganon across the kanto region. he probably draws those lines on his face to make himself look older and listens to mother mother. im gonna punch his third eye. no this is not a biased opinion
