As the bustling streets of Brussels welcomed the onset of evening, Reneé Rapp, the charismatic star of the Snow Hard Feelings tour, strolled hand in hand with her girlfriend, Y/N. The air was alive with the aroma of freshly baked waffles and the sounds of laughter from nearby cafes. It was one of those rare moments of tranquility amidst the whirlwind of fame.

"Isn't this city just magical?" Reneé exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they passed by a street performer juggling flaming batons.

Y/N smiled, her gaze drifting toward a nearby boutique. "Definitely! And look at that sweater in the window, it's so cool!"

Reneé followed Y/N's gaze, her interest piqued. "Oh, that does look amazing! Let's go check it out."

Hand in hand, they entered the boutique, the tinkling of the bell announcing their arrival. Y/N made a beeline for the sweater while Reneé browsed through the racks of clothes, occasionally pulling out a particularly outrageous item to show her girlfriend.

"This would look fabulous on you," Reneé teased, holding up a neon pink faux fur jacket.

Y/N chuckled, shaking her head. "I think I'll pass on that one, thanks."

Just as Y/N was admiring the intricate design of the sweater, a sharp voice pierced through the air.

"Hey, aren't you Reneé Rapp?" a young girl exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief as she recognized the famous singer.

Reneé grinned, her natural charm effortlessly taking over. "Guilty as charged! What's your name?"

Y/N rolled her eyes playfully, used to these impromptu fan encounters. She watched as Reneé chatted with the girl, signing an autograph and posing for a quick selfie.

Once the fan had left, Y/N sighed, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "Can't we just have one shopping trip without being interrupted?"

Reneé's expression softened, and she reached out to gently squeeze Y/N's hand. "I'm sorry, babe. I know it can be annoying."

Y/N managed a small smile, appreciating Reneé's understanding. "It's okay, I guess. Let's just focus on finding that sweater."

As they continued browsing, Reneé kept a watchful eye out for any more fans while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for Y/N's sake. However, it seemed like fate had other plans.

"Reneé! Can I get a picture with you?" another voice called out, and before Reneé could respond, a group of excited fans swarmed around them, their cameras flashing incessantly.

Y/N sighed in resignation, exchanging amused glances with Reneé amidst the chaos. "Well, so much for a quiet shopping trip."

Reneé chuckled, her arm around Y/N's waist as they posed for yet another photo. "Looks like we're becoming quite the attraction here in Brussels."

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of photo ops and autographs, the crowd dispersed, leaving Reneé and Y/N with a newfound appreciation for the sanctuary of the boutique.

"Okay, let's make a deal," Reneé said with a mischievous glint in her eye. "If we manage to get through the rest of our shopping without any more interruptions, the sweater is all yours."

Y/N grinned, feeling a surge of determination. "You're on!"

With renewed determination, they dove back into their shopping spree, their laughter echoing through the boutique as they picked out outfits for each other and shared playful banter.

After what felt like hours of blissful uninterrupted shopping, they finally emerged from the boutique, Y/N proudly sporting her new sweater.

"Mission accomplished!" Reneé declared triumphantly, pressing a kiss to Y/N's cheek.

Y/N smiled, feeling a rush of gratitude for the woman by her side. Despite the challenges of fame, moments like these made it all worthwhile.

As the night descended upon Brussels, the vibrant energy of the city seemed to converge upon the grand concert venue where Reneé Rapp was set to perform. Y/N watched from the VIP section, her heart swelling with pride as she beheld her girlfriend commanding the stage with an electrifying presence.

Dressed in a glittering ensemble that shimmered under the stage lights, Reneé exuded an aura of confidence as she launched into her performance, the opening notes of "Not My Fault" sending ripples of excitement through the audience.

Y/N couldn't tear her eyes away as Reneé's voice filled the air, each lyric delivered with an intensity that seemed to speak directly to her soul. It was as if the entire world faded away, leaving only Reneé and the mesmerizing melody that enveloped them both.

Lost in the moment, Y/N felt a rush of emotion as Reneé's gaze seemed to lock onto hers, a knowing smile playing at the corners of her lips. It was a look that spoke volumes, a silent declaration of love amidst the sea of adoring fans.

But just as the song reached its crescendo, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd. Y/N's heart leapt into her throat as she watched Reneé's expression shift from exhilaration to concern in an instant.

Without hesitation, Reneé halted the music, her voice cutting through the chaos as she called out to the distressed fan. "Hey, are you okay?"

Y/N strained to hear over the din of the crowd, her eyes darting anxiously as she searched for any sign of trouble.

"I-I think so," the fan stammered, her voice trembling with emotion as Reneé knelt beside her.

Reneé's brow furrowed with concern as she gently helped the fan to her feet. "Take deep breaths, okay? We're going to get you some help."

As Reneé called for the medical team to assist the fan, Y/N felt a swell of admiration for her girlfriend's selflessness. Despite the interruption to her performance, Reneé's priority remained clear: ensuring the safety and welfare of her audience.

With the fan in capable hands, Reneé turned back to the stage, her resolve unwavering. "I want to make sure everyone is safe before we continue," she announced, her voice resonating with authority.

The crowd erupted into applause, their admiration for Reneé evident in every cheer and applause. Y/N watched with a swelling heart as Reneé's leadership and compassion shone brightly in the face of adversity.

Finally, with the fan safely attended to, Reneé resumed her performance, her voice ringing out with renewed vigor. As the music filled the air once more, Y/N couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for the woman she loved, knowing that no obstacle could dim the brilliance of Reneé Rapp.

Amidst the cheers and applause, Y/N caught Reneé's eye once more, a silent exchange of love and gratitude passing between them. In that moment, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, they found solace in each other's unwavering support, a bond stronger than any challenge they faced.

Unbeknownst to the audience, it wasn't just any ordinary performance for Reneé Rapp—it was her and Y/N's four-year anniversary, a milestone they both cherished deeply.

In between songs, Reneé took a moment to engage with her adoring fans, her infectious smile lighting up the stage as she bantered with the audience.

"You all are amazing tonight!" Reneé exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine gratitude. "But you know what makes tonight even more special?"

The crowd murmured in curiosity, hanging on Reneé's every word as she leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"It's mine and Y/N's four-year anniversary!" Reneé announced, her excitement palpable. "And I thought, what better way to celebrate than with all of you?"

Cheers erupted throughout the venue, the audience sharing in Reneé's joy as she explained her plan.

"I want to sing a little bit of 'The Wedding Song' for Y/N," Reneé continued, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. "And I need your help to make it extra special. Are you with me?"

The response was deafening as the audience erupted into cheers and applause, eager to participate in the celebration.

With a smile that could light up the darkest of nights, Reneé invited Y/N onto the stage, her heart swelling with love as she took her girlfriend's hand in hers.

Y/N's cheeks flushed with excitement as she joined Reneé in the spotlight, her eyes never leaving her girlfriend's captivating gaze. As the music began to play, Y/N found herself entranced by the graceful movements of Reneé's body, each step a mesmerizing dance that spoke volumes of their love.

As they sang together, their voices blending in perfect harmony, Y/N couldn't help but feel a rush of desire coursing through her veins. Reneé's presence was intoxicating, her passion igniting a fire within Y/N's soul.

Lost in the moment, they swayed together to the rhythm of the music, their love shining brighter than any spotlight. And as the final notes of the song faded into the night, they shared a tender embrace, the applause of the audience washing over them like a warm embrace.

With tears of joy glistening in her eyes, Y/N whispered words of love and gratitude to Reneé, their bond stronger than ever as they celebrated their anniversary in the spotlight of their love. And amidst the cheers and applause, they knew that this moment would be etched in their hearts forever, a testament to the power of love to conquer all.

As the audience erupted into cheers and applause, Reneé's heart pounded with excitement and nervous anticipation. This was the moment she had been waiting for, the culmination of months of planning and a lifetime of love.

Stepping forward, Reneé took a deep breath, her eyes locked on Y/N's as she began her speech. "Y/N, from the moment I met you, my life changed in ways I never could have imagined. You've brought so much joy, laughter, and love into my world, and I am eternally grateful for every moment we've shared together."

A soft smile tugged at Y/N's lips as she listened, her eyes shining with emotion. She knew what was coming next, but that didn't make the moment any less thrilling.

"Every day with you is an adventure, a journey filled with laughter, tears, and everything in between," Reneé continued, her voice filled with sincerity. "You are my partner, my confidante, and my best friend, and I can't imagine facing this crazy world without you by my side."

The audience watched with bated breath as Reneé's speech reached its climax, the anticipation mounting with each passing moment. And then, with a flourish, Reneé dropped to one knee, a small velvet box in her hand.

"Y/N, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Reneé asked, her voice filled with emotion as she looked up at Y/N with unwavering love and devotion.

Y/N's heart soared as she nodded eagerly, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Yes, Reneé, a million times yes!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their excitement filling the air as Reneé slipped the ring onto Y/N's finger, sealing their love with a promise of forever.

In that moment, surrounded by the people they loved most in the world, Reneé and Y/N knew that their journey together was just beginning. And as they embraced, their hearts overflowing with love and happiness, they couldn't wait to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, hand in hand, forevermore.

Can I get Megatron, starscream, knockout, Optimus, and smokescreen's reaction to a new young decepticon recruit joining them. One with the same fresh and go get e'm personality as smokescreen except this bot isn’t inexperienced, and has a sassy egotistical, but justifiable attitude because of how well they fight. You can make up how they arrived.

Megatron, Optimus, Knockout, Starscream, Smokescreen x GN!Teen!Bot!Reader

[Hey guys! Firstly I'm sorry for not answering requests for quite some time but now I'm back and can do that again!]

[Secondly, I just wrote that it's the recruit joining the fraction they're in (like reader joining the Autobots when I write for OP and Smokescreen and the same way for the cons) so sorry if it's not like you wanted it to be]

>Megatron<

>Starscream<

He doesn't know how to feel about you

He's glad to have a capable warrior on his ship, especially a young one because there are like none new Con's since eons, but he's also annoyed that you act so sassy

He does find it amusing though when you and Starscream start one of your sass 'fights' again

And don't even dare try to tell him how much of a great warrior you are, he will destroy your storys by telling what great of a warrior he is and that he was and still is the champion

He mostly let's you go on solo missions but sometimes he let's you lead an mission for mining energon

He kind of sees himself when he was still a young bot when he sees you

Probably the reason he allows you around him and doesn't rage when you tell about yourself for the 7th time this cycle

>Knockout<

He does not like you

At first he actually despised you

You two have often an argument about who is better but you mostly stop because he still is the SIC of the ship

He is kind of jealous that you are so young and talented already

Makes him a little self-conscious tbh

Doesn't let that show of course

Has tried to get you to eliminate someone for him on multiple occasions

He hates but at the same time loves going on missions with you because you just fight the enemy for him mostly

Fears that one day someone will say something about that

But you seem to enjoy being the one battling too so he knows that wouldn't happen

Oh he loves you!

Likes that you have sass but don't ever think about using it on him

He hopes that you two get on missions because he thinks you look fabulous while fighting those annoying Autobots!

Gets bored of your storys about your battles relatively quickly but when he has nothing better to do he just listens to you while buffing himself

Sometimes tries to get you to buff him with words like 'Are you as good as buffing as you are at battling?' but that's mostly just teasing from his side

Thinks that you could at least try to look a little better because, why can't you look good and be dangerous, look at him! He's both of it in one body!

>Optimus<

>Smokescreen<

He internally sighed when he saw you acted almost exactly like Smokescreen

Like he has nothing against either of you but he was worried that you two would cause trouble

But when he saw that you had a lot more experience than Smokescreen he was relieved

But then he sees you and Smokescreen trying to take on hords of Decepticons on your own and feels like his spark stopped beating

Why can't you just stop trying to show off??

He tries to let you know that he thinks you are a great warrior because he thinks that it will make you turn your adventures down a little

But it somehow makes it worse and he tries to hold you back from going on missions on your own/with Smokescreen because it will end in chaos

The only way to distract you from going through that groundbridge is trying to get you to talk about yourself

You two are an absolute menace

Like you two have so much in common!

Doesn't even understand it when you scoff at his babbeling about how you two are like two peas out of one pod

He just fuels that you talk about your battles and what you saw out there

When you two are on a mission together it ends most times with a big disaster and a scolding from both Ratchet and Optimus

Arcee has to literally drag you two back to base because no, you can't just march into that mine guns a blazing

Smokescreen demands to learn how to fight from you

Smokescreen often tries to be better than you or tell his own storys but you somehow always seem to have a story thats way more awesome

Btw. Miko is not allowed in the same room as you and Smokescreen

It will not end good

Like that one time where you decided it would be a good idea to raid that mine and try to blow up Starscream

You did make it out in one piece tho

[P.S How do you like the new writing style I tried to go for? I thought it would be looking better this way (:]

[transformer-analysis]

Transformer Prime Theory: The Optics

It’s interesting how, in TFP, the characters all have a variety of optics sizes and shapes, instead of everyone having plain solid colours like in G1 and most other continuities. And I personally believe there is some more biological reasons why some of these optics look the way they are (some big, some small, some solid colours and others not, and some having rings and others not).

TW: starvation mention.

THEORY #1:

The size of the optics is determined by how well fed and healthy the transformer is.

Firstly, we can see that most Transformers with big optics are Decepticons, who we always know have more Energon mines and supplies than the Autobots.

Secondly. Megatron has a big optic that take over the entire frame, and he is totally someone who would have a feast himself first before feeding his subjects. On the contrary Optimus have one of the smallest optic in the show, probably because, unlike Megatron, he would only eat himself when he knows his subjects are well fed. (Poor Optimus)

Thirdly, Breakdown and Bulkhead also have some of the biggest optics in their teams. Breakdown is one of the few in the show whose optics are complete solid colors, and, although Bulkhead’s optics are not solid colours, or completely take over the frame, they are still much bigger than most other Autobots. This is probably because they are both the muscles of the team so they must have been fed more so that they can be stronger and fight better. (Cliffjumper might have been one, too, because he also got a huge optic, but we never hang around him enough to know for sure)

Fourthly: Bumblebee also got big optics, probably because he is the youngest Autobot, and is probably still growing in a way, so everyone would want to make sure he got enough nutrients to grow up big and healthy.

Fifthly: Skyquake and Dreadwing also got solid coloured pupils, because they were also kind of muscles, and also because they were both loyal and high ranked so of course, they will also get a lot of supplies.

Sixly: Wheeljack and Arachnid also have op to call that fill the frame. And tbh Wheeljack is the only Autobot who got optics that filled the frame. And both of them had been rogue for a while. This is probably because, since those two work on their own, and when they find Energon, they don’t have to share with anyone, they took care of themselves fine.

Seventhly: I think this is the best proof of all. So throughout the show Starscream’s optics are always quite big and round (though it is not always obvious in bright lightings).

(“Partner”, Season 1 Episode 20)

However, in the Orion Episode, while Starscream was sneaking into the Nemisis to steal energons, his optics suddenly fill the whole frame

(“Orion Pax Part One”, Season 2, Episode 2)

This is likely because, since Starscream had gone rogue at this point, and we know that in “Rock Bottom” (Season One Episode 19) Starscream has been hiding energons for himself, Starscream hasn’t yet learned how to manage supplies sustainably on his own, and quickly drained his resources that he’s hide for himself before. Thus, more energons in the eyes. That’s probably also why he has taken the risk to go back to the Nemisis to steal Energon cause he was out of it already. He was living feast or famine at this point.

Now, there are some bugs in this theory, such as why Knockout have such a small pupil despite not having any reasons to starve. However, knowing Knockout and his obsession with his appearance, I believe he would totally put himself on a diet to look even more fabulous. I don’t think Transformers can really gain weight from Energons, though, at least not in the way we think, but Knockout can also just love the look of a small optic.

One question you might have for the theory, “But it has been going around that Ratchet starve himself to save the supplies for the others, but his optics are big?” Now. Ratchet, I believe, is a different situation, which leaves us to theory #2.

THEORY #2:

The ring around the optic signify how intensely the optic was used.

Firstly, like mentioned above, Ratchet have a special optic: his centeral pupil itself is pretty small, similiar size with Optimus’s, but it got a big ring around it, making it look big. Now I think the ring have nothing to do with how well fed the Transformer is, like the theory above, it is there to supply more Energon to the function of the optic, and making it sharper basically. Knockout also have one, probably for the same reason as Ratchet.

Secondly: Bumblebee also have one. Understandable. He is the scout, he need to look afar a lot. His ring, though, looks differently than Ratchet’s, probably because he uses his optics to look at big things afar, instead of little details up close, like Ratchet.

Thirdly: if you look closely you can see that Optimus got these colorless, metal ring around his optic, too, which no one else have, but it doesn’t have Energon in them. This is probably because he probably used to have them, as Orion Pax, who was an archives working in front of computers all the time. But over the years of not using it in the same way as much as the Prime, Energons left the ring and left the area, leaving the empty ring behind.

Now, there goes my theories and how I think the optics works, kind of. There is still a lot that I am still working on and might make another post off in the future, such as why some of them had a white ring/circle in their optics (I don’t think white rings work the same as blue rings, cause Bulkhead have a white ring but he doesn’t have any reasons to need good vision more than others.) and why their optics are different colors.

I hoped you enjoy this

You're no longer pregnant so it's time to work on that riding skill.

Chiara has completed three aspirations: LADY OF THE KNITS, EXPERT NECTAR MAKER and (thanks to the second) FABULOUSLY WEALTHY - now she's after FREELANCE BOTANIST. She doesn't need to complete the one to do with horse riding - just max the skill.

For now she's only at Level 3, but she's still good enough to master the art of riding with unattached stirrups, by the looks of things 👍

Caleb invited her to an exclusive Windenburg party, where she met not one but two potential baby daddies. As Chiara has the NON-COMMITTAL trait and I feel like Joaquin would actually want to be an involved father (in a bro kind of way) we went with Thorne Bailey. Who did not hesitate for a second before he cheated on his wife. Octavia deserves so much better.

He keeps on asking Chiara out on dates, even invited her to hang out at his place once (just man up and end the relationship like an adult if you want to be caught that bad - seriously), never did the dirty dishes but was nice to the foal at least. 2/10 - would recommend purely for the lore.

Someone who does do the dirty dishes is Caleb. While Chiara no longer needs to work (aged nectar may even be more OP than painting when it comes to simoleons), she is single parenting it and he may as well put those sleepless nights to good use. Especially once the sprog is playable.

(He also gave her a crafted guitar. Which was actually the perfect gift for her as she likes handiness and guitar playing, so for a hot minute I regretted her NON COMMITTAL trait. But he'll be around for future generations. Some premades just seem to have pull towards my Sims and I have to make a conscious decision to ignore them during my save. Yes, Lou Howell and Akira Kibo. I'm also looking at you two.)

[anxresi]

Brace yourselves, folks… We’re about to enter the dark, dreary and sometimes disturbing world which is Thomas Astruc on Twitter. 😧

Those possessed of a weak disposition, prone to nausea or an complete intolerance to utter bullshit may want to turn back now. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (but still leave me a ‘like’, if you’re feeling generous 🙏)

Anyway, what ‘delights’ has this stand-up guy, this pioneer of mediocre cartooning, this dude on the cusp of arguing with little kids on Twitter been sharing with us, the great unwashed, at this present time? Let’s run through a brief checklist of the ‘highlights’, shall we?

*Telling people the upcoming Miraculous movie is what the fans ‘want’ but the show is what we ‘need’ (whatever THAT means, typically modest reaction from the epitome of humbleness himself).

*Saying that anyone who DARES criticise the show should ‘keep it to themselves’ or they’ll be ‘blocked for spreading negativity about the artists’ (dude thinks he can police Twitter… good luck with that!)

*Informing fanfiction writers that their work is ‘pointless’ and the only people who know what they’re doing are him and his team (If you mean ‘How To Destroy A Franchise In Five Easy Seasons… I guess he’s right)

But his favorite topic (seriously, check out his replies… we’re talking more than 50% here) concerns a fictional teenage girl he constantly decries but can’t seem to get enough of moaning about. It is of course… oh let’s face it. You know the answer to that one already. ROLL THE TWEETS!!

Yep, you guessed it. Apart from the OP being uncommonly accurate in their opinion, now apparently ‘Chloe’ has become The Not-So-Great Bearded One’s new insult of choice for anyone who dislikes what’s been done to the show. Poor ‘Karen’ never stood a chance… 😢

What a mature, grown-up type chap he is! I have no idea why he’s no longer referred to as ‘Hawk Daddy’ in polite circles, and instead called ‘Man Baby’. Just look at him, REALLY giving it a bunch of teens on Twitter who DARE imply his show is nothing but da best! You go, Thomas! Go change your dirty diaper, that is. 🤢

So, abandoning all her subtleties and nuance , reducing her to a shrieking monster and choosing to actively give characters who have arguably done FAR WORSE throughout the series much better endings means they ‘wrote it well’? Gosh, maybe getting an F in English stands for ‘Fabulous’ after all!

Guess in Thomas’s somewhat warped worldview, everyone who doesn’t like 💯 of his show from top to bottom should be placed on a plane with their main abuser to be forcibly deported and probably tortured for the rest of their sorry lives. That’ll teach them!

And who cares about stupid stuff like ‘build-up’ or ‘character-development’ if they genuinely were preparing Chloe for… what was that thing he described it as again… a ‘damnation’ arc? Let’s just flip a switch at the end of S3 to turn her into a pathetic caricature of her worst excesses without explanation, then introduce a ‘perfect’ sister out of nowhere to throw all those undesirable traits into sharp relief! And that’s not even getting into that detestable retconning flashback episode… What an absolutely fantastic idea to make everyone hate her as much as Thomas does!

No-one will notice the sudden incongruity here… after all, the average age of their audience is 5-8 so if they just throw excrement like crazed baboons about Chloe at the young audience time and time again caveman-style CHLOE: BAD. EVERYONE ELSE: GOOD the kids will chow it up like cheap chocolate ice cream! The older ones that do kick up a fuss? Who gives a ****. They don’t buy the merchandise, and where would all those hard-working producers if it wasn’t for all that cheap plastic crap?

With considerably less cars, swimming pools and exotic holidays to hard-to-pronounce destinations, that’s where! Let’s keep that bandwagon of shit a-rollin’… 🤑

Ah, now I believe this is that classic tactic otherwise known as ‘gaslighting’. When you say something as a fact over and over again, when the opposite is clearly true. Those of lesser willpower may start to accept it as reality while others (mostly those with functioning eyes, ears and brains)… won’t.

You know who was also good at that gaslighting thing, don’t you? A few clues… A Former (thank God) President? Very orange? Initials DT? Yep, that guy.

…And coincidentally, someone Thomas has been known to compare Chloe (14 year old girl, let’s not forget) to regularly. I mean, with THAT kind of accolade hanging over her head from the guy who created her, how could she ever fail?

See? What a great influence he is on the young too! Now he’s got his own handpicked gang of sycophants out of the street labelling anyone with the slightest complaint from a)pointing out the animation was slightly better last season or b)saying they miss the old transformation sequences as a ‘Chloe’. I think we’ve found his new favorite insult, and it’s the worst word he can possibly think of. Figures.

I bet he’s putting together a petition as we speak, for an official entry into the dictionary. Fortunately, there’s already one for ‘Thomas’, as in ‘Doubting Thomas’… someone who talks so much nonsense you should disbelieve anything they say. Or Thomas The Tank Engine, because whenever you mention a certain Blonde’s name in his presence, he tends to blow steam, look very heated and… you get the picture. 😆

On top of everything else, now he’s issuing threats. I have to hand it to him though… that’s a pretty good one. NO PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY MY LIFE I’LL EVEN GIVE YOU A FOOT RUB A BACK RUB AND LEARN TO LOVE ZOE ANYTHING BUT THAT NNNNNNOOOOOO….

Seriously guys, we need an immediate intervention. THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. I’m about to book an emergency flight to France, to barricade him in his office until he promises to never again even entertain the notion of… this. Who’s with me?

(And incidentally while I’m there, does anyone want me to pick them a souvenir? A beret? Frog legs soup? One of those miniature replicas of the Eiffel Tower? Let me know by tomorrow at the latest, and I’ll see what I can do) 😊🇫🇷

What are their favorite ways to spend time with you?

Lucifer

Going Out

Luci absolutely adores going on walks. Either in the evening or in the morning, but he enjoys feeling fresh air, and maybe holding hands. (Which is, admittedly, a big if.)

Winter walks are especially so: even if you’re just walking down a road, rather than in a park or through the forest. Cold, fresh air, and company that he trusts.

Staying In

Paperwork/homework dates! Think if group study worked really well. Complete silence, other than the occasional rustle or pen-scratch, and maybe a clarifying question here or there.

There’s something peaceful about completing unpleasant work in good company - it balances out to utter content.

Mammon

Going Out

In what might be a surprising turn of events, nothing to do with money! Although Mammon may consider you the ultimate good-luck charm, he prefers lakeside dates, with a little picnic basket and a peaceful spot.

100% a treeclimber. That being said, it’s a lot like cats - he goes up without a care in the world, but you’re going to have to help him get back down.

Staying In

Watching bad reality TV. He especially loves shows like The Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune, and can answer their questions insanely well.

Popcorn, blankets, and a whiteboard, so he can prove that he would’ve gotten the answer perfectly. He has a little abacus that he uses to keep score.

Leviathan

Going Out

Obviously conventions are the first pick, but those are rare and stressful! So his favorite way to spend time with you outside of the house would be coffee shop gaming.

Go to a coffee shop with a laptop, tablet, or phone, and load up a game. If it’s multiplayer, he’ll co-op with you. If not, he’ll pick his own and just order coffee. Or, if you don’t feel like gaming, bring something else to do - he won’t mind.

Staying In

Watching anime, of course! Games are fun, and he’ll likely suggest a couple, but at the end of the day there’s always a new episode out of something.

Will most likely be looking over semi-frequently to make sure you’re enjoying it, but most of his talking will be limited to exclamations of excitement at new developments.

Satan

Going Out

Cat cafes. He’ll go with or without you, but privately believes that the cats are friendlier when you’re there. Not that he can blame them - he’s also friendlier when you’re around.

Library dates are his second choice - or bookstores, depending on if there’s a new one. Regardless of whether or not you’re just in the same place or picking out books for each-other, Satan finds the combination of a calm environment and his favorite person to be the perfect setting.

Staying In

Now, of course reading is fun, but consider: reading in the garden with a bowl of tune to lure in stray cats?

Alternatively, sprawling out on armchairs in the family library, depending on if you feel like being outside. If you’re not reading, you could be playing board games - namely Clue.

Asmodeus

Going Out

Clubs? Stores? Photoshoot? He’s down for whatever, but he’d certainly prefer something he can put on Devilgram! (Even if he does back out last minute, choosing to instead preserve the memory for just the two of you. Bragging rights are nice, but it’s almost better to have a secret.)

Or, of course, consider going to a fabulous spa, nail salon, or beauty parlor. It’s easy to get short-notice access to any and all of them thanks to his reputation - Asmo may be the first person in history to be genuinely liked by business owners for the attention.

Staying In

Spa day, obviously! And by spa, he means bath salts, face masks, and ultra-soft matching pajama sets for when you’re done.

Asmo absolutely LOVES just relaxing, but it’s a million times better with his darling there! He might even get to a point where he’s happy to be the polar opposite of performative - gentle, a little insecure, but certainly still as happy to paint your nails as before.

Beelzebub

Going Out

Restaurant dates? Sure, but they’re improved ten times over when it’s after one of his Fangol games or practice. If you can find somewhere that he loves but hasn’t been to in the past, he’ll be ecstatic. Even if it’s just a food truck on the road or a new coffee place, same impact as a brand-new fancy restaurant!

And speaking of practice, consider gym dates! Regardless of if you’re working out with him, Beel would love to have you there with him.

Staying In

If you thought for an instant that his first pick wouldn’t be cooking together, you’d be . . . right. That’s his second, 100%! Your cooking and getting to spend time with you? Bring it on!

But his first pick is eating together. Sure, sure, they’re close, and sure, he’d prefer to eat something you made, but Beel’s a big fan of family meals, and you’re absolutely part of his family. For him, it’s just re-affirming that you feel just as close to him as he does to you.

Belphegor

Going Out

Stargazing. Absolutely stargazing. Be it at a observatory or just, yknow, on a cliff, Belphie’s here for it. Provided he doesn’t have to walk . . .  Bonus if you can find one that isn’t too crowded, he needs his space! Not from you, mind, but still!

He’s also a fan of cafes, but in a different way than the others. He likes curling up with you, cookies, and some heavily sugared tea.

Staying In

Naptime, anyone? In case it wasn’t obvious, the pillows and blankets in his room do serve a purpose. Plus, cuddling with a partner has been scientifically proven to improve your health, yeah? Wouldn’t it be nice to have your health improved and have a nap?

Truthfully, since he’ll sleep anywhere, you can do whatever as long as there’s a surface for him to lay down on. Or sit on him. Or maybe lean on . . . ? It’s whatever, supposing you’ll wake him up when you need to move rooms.

Diavolo

Going Out

Dia owns some establishments and is well known in the others, so it might surprise you to know that he’s not a huge fan of going out. Of course, he likes taking breaks, but he’s much more into magic stores than restaurants.

His favorite, though? Museum dates. From making up goofy stories for the exhibits to genuine admiration, he loves it all!

Staying In

Expect to be used as his excuse to get out of paperwork! Also expect Barbatos to tell him that now that you’re here, it might be best for him to work faster. Or next to you. It’s a toss-up whether he’ll get a break to spend time with you or if you’ll end up sitting next to him as he signs papers tirelessly.

If he does get a break, Dia’s happy to just listen to you talk! It could be about your childhood, your friends in the human world, the brothers, your Devildom History assignment, your hobbies, whatever it is.

Barbatos

Going Out

The local market imports new teas regularly, so there’s always a chance that he’ll invite you out to run errands - it may sound boring, but Barbs loves getting your opinion on things, regardless of how small or inconsequential.

Although parks are lovely, he prefers highly scenic flower conservatories, and loves learning about the history of various plants.

Staying In

Now, Barbatos certainly has some problems taking breaks, which are a bit worse when he’s in the castle. So, get him to take a break by helping him with his duties - get him to explain what Dia’s favorite type of tea is, or to explain a complex recipe.

Although Barbs loves just having you by his side while he works, he also loves things more along the lines of a conversation. You might not entirely get him to abandon his work for a couple hours, but you probably can have a grand time with him while he prunes rosebushes or makes soup.

Solomon

Going Out

As someone else used to human customs, any form of a date makes him happy. Granted, he might prefer certain locations - alchemy stores, fancy restaurants, and places that teach crafts.

Speaking of teaching, dance class. Solomon loves classical dancing, and would love it if you joined him in a class. It’ll probably be incredibly fun for you, especially considering how much fun you can have doing the tango!!!

Staying In

Assuming that you have the sense to not let him cook, he’d love to have you on as a potions assistant! Or tester, which is like, at least 40% safe! (he wouldn’t intentionally put you in danger, obviously, but hoo boy)

Studying together, by which he means in the same room, will definitely become a fun pastime. Solomon may not need to study, but he likes to! Especially if you’re there.

Simeon

Going Out

Really, anything, but Simeon’s especially fond of author-signing events, as ironic as it may seem. He thinks that getting to meet another author is fascinating, and enjoys learning more about the people behind novels.

Aside from that, Simeon likes going to a restaurant or cafe and people-watching. Regardless of how good at coming up with a life story on the spot, he considers it a fabulous thought exercise.

Staying In

Getting your opinion on things. Characters, settings, philosophical arguments, whatever it is, Sim’ll probably enjoy it. However, his favorite things to ask you about are the things involved in his writing, like a plot development or a newly introduced character.

Otherwise, Simeon’s a big fan of naps. Well, not taking them, but having you asleep in the room while he watches over you? It’s oddly fulfilling for him.

Luke

Going Out

Luke likes going to popular cafes and trendy decorative areas, even if he’ll pretend that he doesn’t like them all that much. He thinks it’s incredibly fun to see what makes them popular, and to try highly rated dishes - even if only to recreate them later.

If you can make a trip to the human world, Luke loves going on tours around historical sites. Even though there certainly are such tours in the Devildom, it’s scary! for you, clearly, it must be so terrifying to be surrounded by demons even on a leisure trip!

Staying In

Baking. He can be a little bit of a control freak at first, considering that he’s had a long time to perfect recipes and learn various techniques, (and considering that he lives with Solomon), but he’ll get to a point where he trusts your judgement on most things in the kitchen.

Aside from the obvious choice, Luke likes having you tell stories to him! Not that he’s, like, a kid or anything, but I think we can all agree it’s insanely comforting to have someone read to you. Bonus points if you come up with your own stories rather than read from a storybook!

[count-alucard-tepes]

Hi iam sure if did one before but iam pretty a 100% sure that you once give a description on how op hotties tits look like.

These were definitely my favorite posts to make…just saying, this girl appreciates tiddies 😍

Oven Charlotte 🍞

Oh we all saw what they full baked baby daddy’s chest looks like in all his glory! He has some fine hair on his chest and he likes to keep it because it makes him feel manly. His nips are pretty pink and sensitive so if you graze them…he’s melting. Also he loves having his S/O lick melted chocolate off his tiddies but be careful! You don’t want to burn your tongue if he blushes too much😜 8.5 out of 10 for face smothering.

Buggy🤡

His tiddies are defined along with his abs but he’s on the leaner side since he doesn’t like to bulk up too much. It doesn’t fit his aesthetic! He does have hair on his chest and he doesn’t mind it at all, his partners always think it’s cute. He has bright pink nips. 8 out of 10 for face smothering.

Marco the Phoenix 🦅

He has a pretty lean body and he tends to show his tiddies because he gets hot often. He’s got a light tan and doesn’t grow much hair on his chest. His nips are cute and light pink. 8 out of 10 for face smothering.

Eustass Kidd🤘🎸

We were lucky to see tiddies in all its glory, usually we just get to see his cleavage from his boob window! He doesn’t like hair on his chest so he makes sure to keep himself groomed. He burns easily so he has pretty pale tiddies and that’s not by choice! His nips are pink and one of them are pierced. 10 out of 10 for face smothering😆

Rosinantè Donquixote aka Cora-San💕

Ah to be the handsome sibling is always a plus when he’s a sweetheart too! Since he’s a marine, he has to be physically fit all the time and this resulted in him having amazing tiddies for us to enjoy! He’s pretty pale and doesn’t like being out in the sun because he burns too easily so his tiddies never see the light of day! His nips are pale pink and he does have light hair between his tiddies. 9 out of 10 for face smothering.

Who’s Who ❤️‍🔥👹

Oh this pink haired baby daddy! How I wish he had more screen time! His tiddies are firm and well defined because he works out all the time and does karate to keep fit! He has tattoos that go down his arms and legs, he loves the look and feel of it. His nips are light pink like his lips and they’re pierced. 1000 out of 10 for face smothering (let me be your baby mama already!😭)

Gecko Moria🦇

When he was younger, he has amazing pale tiddies with pierced nips. He’s not a hairy guy so they were always smooth and he liked it that way. He had a well defined body that worked well for his height. 9 out of 10 for face smothering.

Iceburg💜

Under those fabulous suits is a lean but defined body that only our favorite sexy mayor could have! He has dark pink nips and he’s actually pretty hairy. He does have chest tattoos around his tiddies that join to his shoulders and even down his abs to his hips. Only his partners would know that though😉 10 out of 10 for face smothering for our sexy ice-daddy.

Gild Tesoro⚜️🏅

He’s very particular about his body so he makes sure to do lots of chest exercises so that he can maintain his perfect tiddy size and have the body of a God! He isn’t a hairy guy so his chest is smooth to the touch and he loves to flex his chest so that it feels strong. His nips are dark pink. 100 out of 10 for face smothering! (Omg lemme motorboat you, Gild😭😭😭)

Rob Lucci🐆

His chest in his non-kitty form is pretty lean but still defined as he just prefers the look for when he’s wearing his suits. He has brown nips and some fine hair growing between his tiddies. 9 out of 10 for face smothering.

[flilisskywalker]

This is a Mandalorian season 3 finale rant (There might be cursing because I need to vent my frustrations)

Yeah, I really hated the season 3 finale of Mando. It’s the most boring, uninspired poorly directed, written and edited Star Wars in a fucking while. Easily the worst episode of Star Wars television as a fucking whole to me

what the fuck happened 

It's sad because I was enjoying this season, but holy shit, for a show that was always good because of its emotional beats, they sure missed a lot of them (Unless your name is Grogu, of course, ops. Din Grogu urghhhhhh).  It was so fucking emotionless and fucking anticlimatic.

I have to be honest

I don't care that much about Grogu. “But the show is about him.” He is not the main relationship that Din has in this season! That is Bo-Katan. It's ridiculous how these characters have grown close to each other since the Mines and the writer finds the most emotionless way to reunite them again and split them again and the director just doesn't extract fabulous performances of them as well and the editing just chooses the most uninspired shots. 

It fucking bothers me the most is that this show is so concerned with what's coming next that they are forgetting what makes Star Wars so fucking cool: The relationships. Bo-Katan and Din have been saving each other's asses, sharing different perspectives to each other, swearing loyalty and they don't even get a goodbye scene.

“Maybe because they are not saying goodbye.” 

BULLSHIT. 

It's like you get The Force Awakens with Rey and Finn becoming friends, but without the moment that solidifies the bond from Rey’s part, which is when she says: "We'll see each other again. I believe that. Thank you, my friend." Was it so difficult to have them aknowledging the journey they went through together before they went separate ways? I just don’t get it how you miss such a simple and obvious emotional beat like this. 

It doesn’t fucking stop there. Of course.

Bo-Katan does not seem happy at all when she lights up that Forge. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I WONDER WHY. Could it because a fucking tin man who promised to serve her until her life was over is not fucking there? And people will say “You’re delusional.” No. This woman was flirting with him two episodes ago, she’s been looking at him since the Mines in a way that she does not look at any other Mandalorian (and you all can deny it however you want, but the way Katee is directed in those scenes just don’t lie) and they just make him go away. 

You fucking with me? You gotta be fucking with me. 

And you think that’s all? 

Hmm. Not really. 

Ragnar loses his father, who was also clearly the Armorer's favorite son and there’s no reaction, no aknowledgement of his death. Instead we got a whole "take the creed" scene, like, godamnit, have some fucking compassion for crying out loud. 

Moff Gideon destroying the darksaber is so awful. It doesn't work as a symbolism because he wanted that thing. It should've been Bo-Katan who destroyed it and that would pay off Din's line about the sword not being what determines who she is as a leader. 

Oh and Gideon dies, but not really because we know characters don’t really die in explosions in Star Wars and it’s so. fucking. ridiculous. What a moment this would be if this kill belonged to Bo-Katan. Because... I don’t know, the whole season is about her. 

*takes a deep breath* 

I fucking hated this episode. 

*takes another deep breath* 

Wake me up when Din and Bo are a duo again and they are allowed to have their romance. 

This finale was so not the fucking Way. 

Not even in Star Wars TV. Probably easily my most hated piece of a Star Wars media. “You are a Rise of Skywalker enjoyer.” I AM. Because you know, for all its flaws, at least that films understand emotional bits and this finale just doesn’t.

[ramenwithbroccoli]

the little birdie lore. hand it over. (plz and thank u and here is the creetur that comes w the ask 🐦)

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED (and here, have some snacks for the bird 🌾)

Little Birdie in a silly little hat

To start our analysis, we have to do what one's doing when listening to Little Birdie - imagine birds in hats. So here are some of them:

Prety fabulous, right? These birds sure do look good in their hats. What's stopping them from wearing them all the time?

The answer is: physics.

When we put a bird who flies in a fancy hat with the rim, it's deemed to lose it - it only takes one blow of the wind or wing motions to send it out into the sky never to be seen again. And when it comes to rimless (it's that even a real word?) hats like beanies, it would be hard to keep them from simply sliding off, due to birds being so aerodynamic.

Losing a hat would not only be sad, it would also be difficult to retrieve it. Even if it's possible, there's one pretty big problem: birds don't have hands. So they can't really do this.

I know, disappointing. But what does that mean to us?

Little Birdie is working with someone

There is someone - probably a human - working with Little Birdie to keep his hat in place. While this could take a form of putting it back on his head whenever he flies back teary eyed, holding it in his beak, I'm pretty sure we all figured a way better solution.

A ribbon (or maybe a thread or a cord of some sorts)

Simply tie it around your bird's neck and boom! Peace and love on planet earth. However, as mentioned above, birds don't have hands so they can't really tie it themselves. Even with a ribbon being quite stable, somone still would have to check up on it, periodically, to see if everything is still alright. Seems like much of a hassle, right? So why would anybody do that?

I'm pretty sure most of us have seen this post somewhere (wanted to link it but it turns out op deactivated so here's a screenshot)

While it may not be true for every bird - various posts point out that only ceratin species of birds feel butterflies in their stomachs when their mate can wear some colorful accesories - it's still an interesting fact that might help with our investigation.

But why would someone do this for Little Birdie?

Sure, we love birds, but why give this particular bird an unfair advantage? The answer is simple: the hat is a payment for service. At first i thought that Little Birdie works by gathering and selling information - after all we all heard someone say "a little birdie told me"- but that wouldn't make sense, as the hat is easily noticable so it would be quite a disadvantage when you have to sneak around and eavesdrop.

Then it hit me - the hat isn't only a reward, it's also a storage space. Little Birdie might just work in transport, right? Nothing malicious. However...

Little Birdie as a dealer

There isn't much space under the hat of a bird. Even if your thing is small, it also can't be heavy as to not cause too much discomfort, so you can't really get your tungsten cube delivered that way. That's leaving us with transporting light, small things. Someone would put them in a hat, secure it on Birdie, and then the person who the thing was delivered to would take it out and also adjust the hat again.

But why would they use a hat instead of a bag with bigger carrying capacities? Not only would it be more comfortable, it's also profitable because you could carry more stuff in there. That might be because a hat raises less suspicion. When you see a bird with a bag, or perhaps a pouch, you'd know that something is carried there. But a hat? Maybe a bird is just a little silly. Maybe its head feel cold when he flies so high in the sky (Why does he fly so high? To avoid someone detecting him?). You don't think about it too much, you just leave it be.

Another point is, Little Birdie can't really take the package out of his hat himself, which would be easier with a bag. When it comes to valuable transport - let's say, rare seeds from some rare fruit from another part of the world - he can't just reach in there and sneakily eat one without anyone noticing. He could take his hat off to do so, but he couldn't put it back on, meaning he would be just an ordinary hatless bird again.

But why would Birdie do that? Is it all a job? An unresolved part of shady past? Does he even know what he's doing? That questions might never be answered. I just hope that one day, Little Birdie might be carefree once again - with or without his silly, little hat.

Hello, Squig! I hope you are well!

Let this ask serve as a blank entry for your headcanon to drabble event. Write whatever YOU want to write for whoever YOU wish to write for. I'll be happy knowing you enjoyed writing the drabble that comes out of this.

I hope you have a lovely day!

*points* YOU! *brings you a plate of your favorite desserts* You are amazing and I treasure you now. Thank you so, so much! Gang- we're writing Lee!Nozel tonight!

Credit to the lovely @duckymcdoorknob- this was one the fabulous headcanons she shared with me in this post and I couldn't get it out of my head alkjrjkarjej Thank you friend for feeding my endless brain rot about these characters :3

“I’m not ticklish.”

“Really?” Rill blinked, amazed. He had been in a playful mood this afternoon- waiting for Julius and Marx to arrive left him bored and restless. In an effort to entertain himself, he decided to see if any of his fellow captain’s were ticklish.

“Yes, really. Now- unhand me.” Nozel was like a stone, unmoved and unfazed by Rill’s sudden attack. If anything, he seemed irritated, but that was his normal. “Go bother someone else.”

“Since when?” Yami, who had already been ambushed with little to no reaction, grinned around his cigarette. “Last time I checked, you were pretty bad, birdy.”

“Shut your mouth, foreigner.”

“Make me, princess.”

“Enough of that.” Fuegoleon raised a hand before Nozel could raise his grimoire. “There’s no need to fight-” He paused then, brows furrowing. “What do you mean ‘last time you checked?’”

“I mean what I said. Last time I checked, eagle man here was pretty ticklish.” Yami got up from his seat, slowly making his way around the table towards them. “I can prove it too.”

“Do you wish to die this evening?” Nozel bristled, leaning away from the approaching man. “I’ll fill your blood with so much mercury-”

“Scary. Fuego, grab him.”

“Very well.”

“Traitor-” Nozel hissed when hands grabbed his shoulders. Yami was upon him in seconds, immediately going for the ribs. “Stop that this instant-”

“Wow, no way!” Rill was grinning, eyes shining as he watched Nozel’s calm composure begin to crumble, hands batting at Yami’s as he struggled to fight down the giggles. “Nozel really IS ticklish!”

“Come on, don’t fight it.” Yami adjusted his moves, one hand tapping along his highest rib while the other kneaded his waist, looking for a weak spot. “Don’t make me push past my limits, birdy.”

“I to-old you to st-op! I’m not t-ticklish!” Nozel grunted out, his voice cracking as he set his jaw. Behind him, Fuegoleon cleared his throat.

“Hips, Yami.”

“Ah.” Yami did just so.

“You son of a-AH! Aheahhhahhahahahaa!” Nozel couldn’t finish the sentence as loud, beautiful laughter spilled over his lips, his worst spot being squeezed with reckless abandon. “Yohoohoohu dahhahahamn ohooohohoohafs, geheheheheht the heheheheehell ohooohohohoff mehehehehheehe!”

“PFFT- holy crap! That’s amazing!” Jack busted out laughing, absolutely delighted at the sight. Charlotte was struggling to keep a smile off her face while Dorothy cheered them on, giggling just as much. William had his entire body turned away, shoulders shaking with soft snorts.

“Best captain meeting ever.” Rill sighed, already planning his next painting as he leaned into his hand.

Send me a headcanon and I'll write a dabble for it!

FanExpo Dallas Write Up

So I went to FanExpo in Dallas yesterday 6-10-23, and it was one of the best days of my life! 🥺 I really went because I wanted to meet Jon Bernthal, and he happened to be within a car drive of me. But Gabriel Luna reminded me why I fell in love with him in the first place when he played Robbie Reyes in Agents of SHIELD, and I’m so glad I followed my gut and met him too. Oof. My heart 😩💜

Random cute guy in line with me named Jacob and I bonded over the Punisher while we were waiting in line to meet Jon. I feel like we were getting along fabulously. As we got to the table to pay for our stuff, I pulled out my photo op with Charlie and Jon to put my sticky note with my name on it. Jacob saw it and leaned into to me, telling me “I think that’s a really good photo. Not to pry or anything, but it’s really cool.” I then explained to him why I did it and he immediately turned back around to me and said, “well your parents are idiots if they can’t be proud of every part of you. And that was a brave thing to do.” 😩 you guys he was so sweet.

Jon Bernthal

I’m 100% positive Jon Bernthal is the first actor I’ve met to make my brain stop working almost completely. I was absolutely on the verge of crying to the point of me grimacing in the photo, but I walked up to him with my bi pride flag and explained to him that my parents will never be proud of this part of my life. I want to make a statement with people who are proud of me. He made sure to double check with me that it was right side up because he wanted to do it right, however we all see how well that went over because my own pride flag was upside down 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ We then turn to the camera and take it, and as he’s handing me my flag back he looks me very earnestly in the eyes and said, “well I am proud of you, sweetheart.” I swear I was fine until that very moment. He’s an intimidating man, and it was hard for me to look him in the eyes for very long. He absolutely murdered me.

I had a duo photo op with him and Charlie as well, and because I looked so not happy in the first one, and my flag was upside down, I decided to redo it with them. I walked up to Charlie and even though this was the first time I was seeing him I said, “I almost cried in my last photo so I want to fix it.” He gladly took the the corner of the flag from me, and I stood between them with Jon on my other side holding it again. Jon looked at me and smiled and said “thank you,” and Charlie gave me a very genuine smile and said, “thanks for being here,” as he handed me my flag back. It turned out so well and I’m so glad I redid it. 🥺 Charlie looks like such a goober and I love it 😂

I’m also so happy the handlers and Jon decided to let us get in line for his autos after his afternoon of photo ops at 6. They had ticketed people who were cut off when he had to leave for his panel that they had to honor first, and they originally were only going to do those and no more because everything shut down at 7. But there weren’t really that many people waiting to be in line behind them so they decided to let us in. We had a short convo and I thanked him for everything, and then he signed my photo op with him and Charlie. I walked away and that was that. I couldn’t have asked for a better interaction with him. Frank has come to mean so much to me, and I’m so happy the man portraying him is just as great. 💜

Gabriel Luna

He was so chill at his table, he was out in the line talking to the people waiting, and he took someone's FaceTime call. I had a chance to talk to him about how Nic Cage may have introduced the character of Ghost Rider to me as a kid, but his portrayal of Robbie Reyes cemented my love of Ghost Rider, and we ended up having a really good conversation about him. 🥺 then I mentioned that him in the Last of Us brought him back to me started him on a whole new discussion about that show and how hard we both think it is to like the second part of the video game 😆 we took some selfies, and during it he told me I had really great hair, but then corrected himself and said, “Oh wait. We both have really great hair.” I hugged him and said I had to go get in line for his photo op but I’d see him over there. He said "okay, and seriously your hair is great!" as I walked away.

His face lit up when he saw I was next in the line for a photo op, and when I got up to him he grabbed my left hand like we were dancing to pull my arm out so he could look at the tattoo that was there (it says ‘you are not alone, and is signed my another actor I met in 2018) 🥰 he said that’s really good advice to yourself, and then we faced the camera. I accidentally blinked when we did our first photo, so I got pulled out of the exiting line to go back and redo it. I’m honestly okay with that because as great as it was holding his hand i think it would have looked odd lol I walked back into the booth he was in and his back was to me, talking to the other people in the room. Once he realized I’d walked in he turned to me and smugly said “Oh! So you’re my blinker 😏” he was happy it was me! I immediately replied, “yeah. I swear I didn’t do it on purpose though,” and the whole room laughed 😆 so he pulled me in for another pic, and after he was done he gave me a really big hug, took my hands and looked very earnestly into my eyes when he told me “but for real, your hair is fantastic and you need to know that.” I said “you too, thank you again for everything.” We said goodbyes and I left. 🥰

I can’t say enough good things about Gabriel. Holy shit. He’s so kind and generous with his time, and cares about all of us so much!

First meet Ft. Levi!Reader

⚫️Riddle- He met you in the library where he found you sipping tea while also reading a book, a book that was his favorite and been trying to find people to talk about that book. becoming anxious a bit of thinking how the talk would go he hold his breath for a moment before walking up to you and greeted you as he remembered you in the ceremony.

Summary- Your name is Y/n Ackerman and when the mirror looked through your soul he found out that you don't have any power but do have physical abilities which is immense strength with amazing flexibility and agility but the mirror could not seen which dormitory you were fit in so you were in the ramshackle dorm. it disgusted you from bit to bit from your Levi kinnie.

after talking to you he felt the most joy he had ever had in his life, you then told him that they can meet back here and talk about it more because of class starting, waving goodbye to him he saw you walk out of the library looking fabulous, riddle then had a small smile crawl up too his face excited for they're next talk.

⚫️Leona- He met you while in gym and saw you obliterate everyone there and no one could even make a scratch nor hit you becoming interested in your strength and flexibility, he challenged you to a dodge ball fight which he was surprised too see you were already behind him and had a ball on your hand before throwing it at him but luckily dodges it at the right time as the ball went to the wall breaking it completely. you only 'Tch' before grabbing another ball and threw it at him while he was distracted and hit him right in the face, you then started to walk up to him before checking his injury and pulling out a band aid and putted it in his bruise before walking away to your next class, Leona just stood there, before having a smirk in his face interested in your strength.

⚫️Idia- He first saw you and already think you came straight off an anime, he does always follows you around and when you do turn your back he will immediately hide somewhere, he has been doing that for the past couple days until when he was hiding you then where in front of him as idia flinched when you were in front of him, asking him why you were following him he began to stutter and try and find an answer to not come off as 'Creepy' you found it amusing when you saw him a blush on his face stuttering. you then said that you'll let him go this time before patting his head and going off somewhere. Idia blushed at your head pat before running back to his dormitory.

▪️Malleus- Saw you that your over 6'10 tall and was happy too see other people that are also tall too and wanted to talk to you and don't have to sprain his back looking down on short people. malleus introduced him self to you in science class and both of you would hang out together and talk about things you guys like, and both of you found out you guys have a lot of things in common.

▪️Azul- He first tried and make a deal with you but you declined. it went like that for days now and while that happen both of you were befriending each other and you also sometimes help them make contracts.

▪️Kamil-Met you while you were eating and decided to thank you when his butt was lit on fire by grim. he then invited you too Scarbia for a feast as you had sparkles in your eyes because eating was only a minimal time while training is your routine 24/7 so eating new things you've never eaten before was amazing.

▪️Vil- Saw the beauty of you and got shocked too see someone more fabulous and beautiful than him, looking at you literally everything you do is beautiful and cute, eating? cute, sleeping? adorable, smiling? alkasbcbnjhdsknjbckndkvc.jmalwdbhkwdhnkafnhc he had no chance to beat you and so the rook hunt disease is spreading.

|If the Levi trait seems a bit out of character apologies for that same with the Twst characters, The levi thing wasn't really the first idea. it was supposed to be a Ackerman!Reader but i changes it to Levi!Reader|

Let’s Talk Whump No.3

Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump!

I’m Malice, from @whumpers-inc and today I’ve got the fabulous @brutal-nemesis in the house to talk about her experience with and love for whump!

Let’s talk about you! Tell us something about yourself :)

Yo, I'm Nemi, I'm in my 20s and a whumper all the way, baby. Outside of whump, I like rocks (like have an entire degree in geology like rocks), video games (Octopath Traveler, Pokemon, FE, Nancy Drew PC games...), anime (don't ask me about Chainsaw Man, I won't shut up), and hiking (rocks but in their natural habitat).

What does “whump” mean to you?

I get to stab men and laugh about it. I love violence, I am very sadistic

Your fearsome reputation is something of a legend around here. How did you find whump and what made you want to join?

Very long rabbit hole but to be less long about it, I saw some whump stuff on the blog of a pokemon tumblr I stalked (because I didn't have an account) and I was like, Hey This Is The Shit. I lurked for a while but as time went on, I wanted to talk to people about whump and share my own shit cuz I've never really had anyone to talk to about that sort of stuff (at least not without making them really concerned lol).

Being able to talk about wanting to beat up/stab/restrain a guy without concerned looks and questions is so therapeutic, honestly. Do you have a favourite(s) whump trope?

Gore, noncon surgery & body modification, vivisection, female whumper w/ male whumpee, and just general depravity!

Female whumpers, my beloveds! Speaking of favourite pieces, tell us one that you’ve written?

Uhhhh what have I written at all...mmm, well, as far as Castys things, if I had to pick one, it'd probably be Cycle-stys of Yikes . Basically it's a nice little overview of Castys losing his damn mind while he's stuck in a lab for like 240 years. It's probably one of the darkest things I've written as far as, uh, what happens, and that's saying a lot. Idk I just feel like I did a good job with describing these really fucked up actions as...whatever the hell he thought was happening.

For Erebus and Terror...it's hard. I'm really proud of the whole series, tbh, just how I've been able to develop both Erebus and Neteri over time as they change each other, but for a standout chapter...Maybe Chapter 14, Red, White, and Blue , cuz I really love the way I wrote Erebus's panic and what was happening to him from his POV without explicitly describing what was happening. And what's not to love about how upset he is in that one :)

Damn, Red, White and Blue! You’ve definitely earned your reputation..that was brutal! Is there anything new you’re working on at the moment?

Yare yare...I should get started on the next chapter of E&T at some point, shouldn't I? I mean, I have a huge AU stockpile that's basically all between me and one person and we just sit on them, so probably nothing from there for the people...So yeah, probably the next chapter of E&T whenever I get around to that and then I'll probably try to come up with something for Castys since I'm sure people miss him.

Take it from me, the people definitely miss Castys! Care to share what your writing routine usually looks like?

Hahahaha who knows, man. Back before my lil hiatus, I used to write every day whenever I had time and felt like it, but then I became Gamer Mode for a few months and I'm still working on getting out of that habit. But usually just on the couch or in my room with either my video game/anime OST playlist on shuffle (she's 59 hrs long!) or my weeb playlist (anime ops and whatnot) because if it's English words then it's harder to focus on writing,  y’know. Usually I jump around in whatever chapter or piece I'm writing, writing the scenes or bits of dialogue/description as they come to me, and slowly stitching the whole thing together until it's one whole blanket boy.

Is there an easy thing for you to write, something the words just pour for? Anything you struggle with writing?

The easiest thing in the world is whatever bullshit thoughts Castys is having. He is incredibly easy to channel. Any of his dialogue or what he's thinking about comes without much thought. The words also usually flow for my classic™ incredibly long run-on sentence paragraphs that have like no breaks in them cuz it's all go go go, baby. Erebus and Neteri talking isn't too hard either, especially if they're bickering. As far as hard, probably descriptions of pain because it can hard to say how much a thing hurts over and over without being repetitive. I am also not a researcher.  I will just be out here making shit up because it's MY fantasy world so I can have whatever bullshit I want!

Do you have any words of wisdom or writing advice for us?

Well, my old habit that worked for me was to try and write every day, for at least half an hour. If I end up going more, great, but if it's not working at least I tried. That and inspiration is everywhere. Steal whatever shit you like and cobble it together into something unrecognisable. It's not plagiarism cuz you're making something new. Like, E&T came from Stephen King's Misery and a magical girl anime. Go crazy, go stupid.

Go crazy, go stupid. I love it! Let’s give a shout out to your favourite writing/whump blogs, bffs or people who've inspired you. We're hyping everyone up here!

Can't not shout out the bestie @galaxywhump who has impeccable taste and bomb writing and we talk a whole lot everyday and yeah, queen shit. @just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifih-wifi is another good friend and amazing writer and she's got so many different stories that everyone can find something they love. Ugh, there's a lot of other people I could talk about, but I'll give the last shout-out to @whump-side cuz her art just always hits the spot for me, so fuckin good.

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today. Is there anything you like to add?

Don't be afraid to be a little bit silly, lads, we're here to have fun and it doesn't have to be the most serious shit in the world for it to be good whump. we love being silly and crazy.

Thanks for dropping by @brutal-nemesis ! 

And to all the readers, have a whump-derful day!

[poisonheadcrabsalesman]

so sorry but do you perhaps have a video compilation of Roland cutscenes? I can't find anything :(

No need to apologize, we are starving out here together. There are currently no video compilations of all of Roland's lines or scenes, however you have come to the right place and I can organize what's out there and tell you where to look. He doesn't even have a Quotes page on Halopedia....yet.

He first pops up in Spartan Ops and is in almost every cutscene except for Key, the ninth one where he's only spoken to.

I usually use the Halo youtube channel for the cutscenes but there's several compilations if you want to see all of them at once for the context.

Stealing from myself - here are the levels he has lines in. He crashes Ops about halfway through the campaign and then helps a lot in the critical levels at the end. Lots of banter and bickering. A+

Halopedia is your best friend and has transcripts. Join me in hell

Roland also narrates a lot of Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike, mobile games that have a lot of lore. The combined cutscenes are 12 minutes long and not..fabulous, but interesting.

For Halo 5, he's in the cutscenes for the levels "Reunion" and "Glassed". Same video but I got the timestamps. I think these are the cutscenes most people think of when they remember that Roland is a character because so many of his appearances are in side things no one plays.

There's also a youtube channel that has 3 random WR videos of SpOps levels - here, here, and here - if you want a 5 minute-ish video of the dialogue for three of the Invasion levels.

I have a few scenes recorded in my vid tag here, but I'm slowly grabbing more - along with audio files straight from mcc because gameplay and gunfire over the lines makes it hard to hear even with the subtitles.

Anyways this is A Lot and I need to be a little less insane on the internet, but I am always up for lore talk or questions.

[peachonified]

A hint of the next AoKi fic

It's AoKi day... and due to various reasons I only got a fic STARTED. and I have a new rule: no more WIPs on AO3 unless they are finished. (except for the ones I am finishing up...) but this isn't AO3, so I am going to share the opening.

Just a few short notes... when I asked for ideas, @formlesscopycat said prison au, and @slicesofapple said a dom Aomine.

So I smooshed them together and you can't tell where it is going yet, but I love the start!

(It was originally called 'where you belong' and I was thinking about jail, but I already have an AoKi fic called 'Where you belong(by my side)' so that doesn't work)

~o~

Kise has never been to jail before.  And he can’t believe he’s going there now!

“I didn’t do i-“

“I don’t really care,” the officer escorting him to his new home informs him. “You have a problem, then get your lawyer to deal with it.”

And that, was that.

~o~

Okay not really. The trip to the prison is long and slow.

“Surely prison vans can go the speed limit?” he asks, entirely innocently, cos weren’t there rules about how slow you could go and the highway? “What happens if the driver is arrested? What if-“

“You really need to shut up before I do something about it.”

Mr Prison Guard was tetchy. Kise sniffs and and is silent for all of 84 seconds, until he can’t deal with it any more.

“I just think we should-“

The scream the prison guard gives is not quiet.

~o~

He happily drops him off at the gate.

“You’re leaving?” Kise asks, a little sad. “I felt like we were just getting to know each other, and-“

“He’s all yours. He’s all fucking yours,” Kasamatsu snarls. Kise feels inordinately proud that he got a name. But it was a four-hour drive, and Kasamatsu got sick of being called Mr Prison Guard about two and a half hours in. That was after establishing that he is a driver, but Kise thinks it’s still a job where he guards prisoners, so he’s a prison guard.

~o~

Intake is almost as slow as the drive him. Which Kise informs the new prison guard.

Who blinks at him from behind his glasses.

“You want this to be… quick?”

Kise nods, decisively. “Yeah, well, I’m innocent, so the sooner I get in, the sooner I get out right.”

Glasses kind of stares at him. He goes to speak twice, shaking his head each time, before he (slowly) pulls Kise’s paperwork. “Says here you were soliciting and then tried to bribe the police when they arrested you?”

Sighing, Kise flops back, placing his handcuffed wrists as attractively as possible. “I know what it says, but I never sleep with people for money. I only have sex with people I want to have sex with, because that is the point of sex. Not that I am anti sex work, by the way. But I make my money modelling. At least at the moment. I’ll be a pilot one day -  I need to get my license while I still have 20-20 vision. I read that even if you need glasses, if you get them after you become a pilot it’s still okay. And don’t worry! I’ll still look fabulous. Not everyone can rock the megane look, it’s true, but I absolute-“

“So you weren’t soliciting?”

Kise sniffs. “It was bad timing. We’d been at a party, so I was in costume for that. And can I tell you, I looked good! It was a take on angels – normally angels are all icy silver and white, but I don’t look good in white, so I changed it up for ambers and golds and-“

“Why didn’t you go as a Greek or Roman God? Or acolyte, or whatever. More colour op-“

He’s interrupted by Kise’s wail. “Oh my god you are right! I could have had so much fun! I mean, I looked great as a golden angel, but I could have had options and I hate-“

The guard (who was probably Imoyoshi, given that is a name plate on the desk) stops him. “Well, innocent of the crime or not, you do seem pretty innocent.”

There's a double meaning there, and Kise can’t let that pass! “Look, I’m not saying I’m a slut or anything, which would still be okay by the way, but I’m not innocent-“

Kise continues to rant, until he notices that Imayoshi isn’t paying attention. In fact he looks a little worried. And that’s not great. Kise leans forward, an earnest expression in his face.

“I’ve been sitting here just talking about myself, and here are you needing some help. I’m a very good listener, and pretty good at advice too.”

Imayoshi looks at him, speechless. Kise nods encouragingly, but inside is a little worried. This is now two prison guards who could barely speak. Who were they hiring? Surely this was a job that needed good communication skills?

Letting out a breath, Imayoshi laughs. “Yeah I’m worried, but about you.

They’re at the door, when Imayoshi stops short. “Wait, I have to know. What was with the official corruption?”

“The what?”

“Bribing a police officer.”

Kise frowns, then his expression clears. “I wasn’t bribing anyone! I thought they were at the costume party too, and the police outfits didn’t match at all! So I offered to help them out of their uniforms, and then more turned up and I thought they might have been strippers and then they weren’t and-“

Someone weaker than Imayoshi would have laughed.
