Soap who's down badt for you.

Soap's an absolute horndog for you, and as someone whose primary love language is physical touch, he'll take every opportunity to express himself.

We've established that Soap doesn't leave much to the imagination around the house. If he doesn't have to, he won't cover up. Much. Especially in bed. Johnny's the one who'll greet you when you're up and around in the morning by hugging you from behind so you can feel how hard he is, as in he's pressing his cock against your ass and you hear a playful and husky, "Mornin', bonnie."

You can ask Soap what he's thinking about, and you'll get that rouge-ish grin, and "Bending you over, bonnie. What else?'

Similarly, you can ask Johnny what he's doing or about to do and he'll go, "About to touch myself to you. ❤️"

Soap is banned from helping you do your self-care and/or maintenance routine because it almost ALWAYS turns into sex.

Same for bathing because you're trying to get clean, Johnny—"I'm helping you get clean, though."— Because fingering you and sucking your nipples is definitely doing the job, huh?

Johnny has also called you on multiple occasions, but instead of getting a response, you hear the telltale slick of him stroking himself. Cheers, bonnie!

Johnny has no issue beating the shit out of an asshole if need be, which means you've seen your fair share of split lips, bruised cheeks, and black eyes. You know how he says you can remedy that, bonnie? "You coming on my face." Oh, dear god—

Let's talk about the times Soap's the one being fucked and how fucking LOUD he is. DELIBERATELY SO. The entire neighborhood could hear him. Goddamnit. Shut the fuck up, Johnny! "Nah," is what he'll say because why shouldn't everyone hear how good you fuck him, how much he loves you, and how much you make him cum? And in the end, you're looking flustered while Soap's sated, smug, and probably (read: more than likely) down for more. Hope they're ready to hear him again.

Johnny who wants your attention on him and loves to give you a show. And a show is what he gives you. Better than whatever the fuck's on the telly at the moment. To be fair, you weren't paying attention, but you were very focused on the horny bastard right next to you, giving you a repeat performance from his phone call earlier than week.

And after he came, you've swiped some of his cum on your finger and fed it to him, baby blues staring you down and all, Soap takes your hand and leads you to the bathroom to help him... clean up. "Like actually clean up, Johnny?" " 'Course, bonnie." Spoiler alert: you didn't clean up. Goddamnit, MacTavish. But would you want him any other way?

hey when they wrote "knight behind bars" and they wrote kitt helping a couple get together and they gave him the line "Some day, it will be my turn" [to find love]. did they know what they were doing. did they know that in some 40 years some gay autistic robot-obsessed little freak on tumblr would not stop thinking about it for weeks and write literal dozens of paragraphs screaming about it on discord. did they know they were going to ruin Me, Specifically, with this concept that feels like the culmination of everything kitt has gone through through the show and such a fascinating thing to think about in regards to michael and kitt's relationship,

one of the themes of knight rider is kitt developing as a Person, developing a line between the Knight Industries Two-Thousand, and Kitt. discovering humanity, his own emotions, the joys of the seemingly and logically pointless, and often through the lens of his own driver, his partner, his friend, Michael - his primary guide through all these experiences, his reference for those human things he doesn't understand. and as much as he initially claims to not be capable of experiencing emotions, of understanding feelings, he learns to. he experiences a wide range of emotions through the show even while claiming he doesn't, he even learns fear and insecurity. perhaps it's only natural a robot would learn to love, or at the very least be terribly curious about it and wonder if such a thing could ever exist for Him

the majority of people are not exactly kind to kitt. they talk about him like he's not there, they talk about him like he's a machine, a novelty, some people are even scared of or disturbed by him when all he's trying to do is make polite conversation and company. he's always Othered - there's no other cars like him (at least not anymore), but there's no other person like him either, he doesn't truly belong among humans or vehicles. some of the technicians at FLAG don't even seem to fully respect him as a person, at least they don't based on my vague recollection of how they talk about him in Junkyard Dog. when Michael asks him after KARR is destroyed if it feels good to be one of a kind again, he doesn't say yes or no - he only says it's a "familiar feeling." it may be familiar, but it's surely also isolating, and i think that's something he'd realize as he slowly picks up this curiosity about love. where could he even find it when so few people see him as an equal person to begin with?

and then there's michael. oh my god, and then there's michael. no matter what flavor you choose to read it in, the whole show is about their relationship, they're a duo, a set Not to be separated, they're Partners. they work together, they worry about and look after each other (forever insane about when kitt was a melted shell, Michael stuck around the garage for hours, waiting for any news like a worried spouse, constantly checking on him every opportunity he got... encouraging him to recover, and even helping paint back on his protective coating... kitt always looks after michael, but for once, it's michael's turn to look after Him), in a way they were Made for each other - Kitt more literally, being programmed for Michael and holding his namesake, but Michael was also made in a sense for the pilot program, hand picked and given a second life to work for the foundation and with this strange supercar. and even if they had a rocky start, michael comes to view kitt as a person - car, TV set, or computer core, Kitt is his partner, his buddy. he helps him find himself, guides him and teaches him about these things that make us human, and in a way, kitt becomes human - but his entire experience is still through the perspective of an AI in a car, it's still very unique and isolating, and I think he sort of grows into his own limitations, he's finally brushing against the walls that define him.

he learns of love, and then he learns to dream Of love. these things he sees in the movies, that michael tells him about, that he so often sees michael Partaking in that he gets so oddly jealous of, doesn't it all seem so wonderful? he's very curious. but who could ever love steel and circuitry, who could ever see him as an equal let alone a partner in a romantic sense? who would ever love a car and all the limitations That comes with? it's a problem for a hypothetical hopeful Some Day, in the meantime stuck between two worlds where he doesn't perfectly belong to either, where no car Can love him and no human seemingly Would love him...

and michael loves him anyway. before either of them really realize or talk about it, in spite of everything, in any form, regardless of the fact it wouldn't be a typical relationship by absolutely any means, michael loves him anyway. kitt is as much a person to him as bonnie or devon or RC, and that person is someone he loves and cares for deeply. the feeling is mutual, kitt's world revolves around michael, he's one of the most important people in kitt's life, and he'd do anything to protect him.

and it is michael that will finally teach him to love, and what it means to feel loved in turn, to be loved as the person he undoubtedly is.

Why are we as a fandom not talking more about this scene ??

Clive is literally asking the professor to come back and stop him. Like this isn't him pretending to be Future Luke : he looks genuinely upset/displeased even after the professor promises to come back. He only goes back to smiling after the professor says, and I quote "I wouldn't dream of leaving things here in that state" before talking about stopping his future self. Clive wants confirmation that Layton is actually going to confront the bad guys, that he won't just solve the mystery but fix it too.

And this is literally so important. Clive's speech at the end, about getting saved. This is concrete proof that he had truly meant it from the start, because he's asking for Layton to stop him and thus save everyone here. Which, hey- he didn't just hope and wait to get saved, he tried to save himself too.

Yep, that's right. The game talks about how dangerous it was for Clive to bring Layton underground : it doesn't talk about how even more dangerous it was to let him leave. He could have brought back cops (he did). He could have gathered precious knowledge out there (he did). He could have never come back (and yet he did !!). Clive letting Layton leave is the biggest threat to his plan, and yet HE DID. And you know what else he did ? Make Layton promise to stop him. You can't make a clearer call for help, you just can't.

"Oh but it doesn't make his crimes more forgivable, now does it-" of course not. This isn't about Clive's redemption, it's about Clive trying to avoid needing a redemption : his efforts are vain the moment he started using the fortress. But. There were efforts.

can i say it now?

sage of time/time powers didn't make sense for totk zelda. at ALL.

when in botw, before the calamity, in aoc, did she EVER show an affinity for time powers? i get that it was like this sort of. hidden power kind of thing, but it still doesn't make much sense. not for zelda.

I think Jorge Joestar the 600+ page spin-off novel sure is. a thing that exists. If there is anything of substance to take from this book, it is a lesson in what not to do in character writing. For just one chapter alone- Chapter FIVE: The Box.

This one section's nightmarish handling of Erina and Dio's characters, their relationships with Jonathan, and how they handled his death should be heralded as a prime example of butchered character writing. it can be summed up perfectly in one hypothetical:

Which character would, if given the chance, keep Jonathan's severed head in a fancy jar in their basement?

Dio would ABSOLUTELY be the one to keep Jonathan's severed head in a fancy jar. That's not a stretch. Hell, it wouldn't be in a dusty basement, that shit would be on a pedestal. He'd sit in the dark and talk to it, because he already does that with the rest of him. We already see him talking to "Jonathan" while staring at and feelin up his body in the mirror during part 3. This is not new shit.

Erina would NOT keep Jonathan's severed head in a jar in her basement. The thought would never even cross her mind because shes a sane human being. She finds the strength to move on with her life and be there to raise their son and Joseph. Despite the tragedies she's faced, she will heal from it and keeping moving forward. She is strong, she is kind, she has healthy relationships and is the glue keeping the Joestar family together. She loves Jonathan enough to let him go, because that is what he would have wanted.

Now, which option do you think this book went with? Let's find out!

SURPRISE! Secret third option! Erina kept Jonathan's severed head in a fancy jar in her basement! And talks to it! Totally believable, in character, and completely rational! Yup, this is so something Erina would do. Mmhm. Absolutely.

i love that hieronymous said exactly two lines in that entire episode and one of them was stating the obvious and the other was a totally innocent-sounding statement that also managed to be a lie. he's the perfect character <3

[brontidetales]

Okay apparently I'm not done nitpicking. Skimping that much on Zuko's scar shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Zuko. It's not just a weird mark on his face, it's a brutal reminder of his (perceived) failures and a symbol of his internal struggle between good and evil. The scar is so integral to Zuko's character I can't imagine why they would diminish it unless they didn't understand what it means. And not to be mean but it's not hard to puzzle it out! It's literally Symbolism 4 Kids.

What I really think media with ensemble casts, especially those in a traveling group of some kind, are missing are big, blow-out arguments between the group. Especially when there's a conflict of interests, I am such a sucker for when two or more characters disagree so strongly that they realize very little is actually holding them together as a group, and wonder if it's time to go their separate ways.

I feel like a lot of video games, specifically, just kind of assume once the traveling band is "complete", it's forced to stay together until the player expressly permits it, but I don't really find that very compelling and a lot of times it feels more like they're relying on some kind of immediately strong bond that hasn't really been earned. Which is a shame, because in my opinion one of the best ways to strengthen that bond is to have the characters disagree and argue. Maybe they realize they're only being superficially held together and so they temporarily split up, only to then realize how much they've come to care for the others in the group. Then they reunite, make-up, formulate a plan to go forward, and boom, the group bond is that much stronger. Or maybe they don't even split up, and maybe they never learn to like each other, but they decide whatever cause their working toward is more important. Something else, bigger than them, is holding them together.

It just feels like a lot of potential is going to waste to just skip straight to the intense found family bond, without earning it.

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

nobody understands the utter devastation that is the lana-edgeworth and susato-holmes parallels (vaguely fucked-up, somewhat mentor-mentee, female-male relationship) (game does not want me to care as much as i do) (exists primarily in my head) (cant talk about them)

[hazmatazz]

ALSO!! (Sorry forgot what I was gonna say or I would’ve included it in my last ask)

Your ‘Abby is observant but she’s still a kid’ statement. I love it so much because it shows that she doesn’t have to grow up so fast, she has someone who’s taking care of her and let’s her be a kid! Honestly I think Mike and Abby’s relationship is so fucking great

Mike actively asks about her drawings and actively tries to engage with her and even if it’s met with nothing he doesn’t give up, he’ll try again at a later point!

(Also also, I think Mike is more observant then we’ve been giving him credit for)

literally literally literally literally..... tad off topic but i feel So bad for mike because like . no sibling should have to take care of their younger one. like here it says mike would probably be in his mid to late twenties and honestly i forgot if they ever said what age either mike or abby was when she went into his care but that's still rather young to be caring for a child (your sibling) you didn't plan for ..

like i could only imagine him wanting a normal sibling relationship with abby instead of being her parent, why wouldn't you. you love your younger sibling but this isn't how your life should have gone. now you're struggling with your rent and getting a job that works with the fact you're a single dad basically and. you can't blame your sister because you love her so much and you would rather her be in your care than anyone else's but. god why did your dad have to leave and why is nobody helping you 💔. you don't even believe you're raising her right and you just. want her to have a normal life and you want a normal life but

Anywyas.

also yeah!! he's like. for the situation we've dropped him in, he's like the normal guy observant. i mean he figured out that the kids his sister always talks to and draws before he got this job are the kids in the animatronics and he figures out a whole lot about vanessa and. i think he's observant he just doesn't believe he's doing a good job ever so

[irregularbillcipher]

going over old fic notes and outlines and character talks with friends and it's always really funny when i get to the stuff i was developing early-mid 2019 where bill just literally kept kryptos around to rag on, and he genuinely just. did not like the man. like was just completely annoyed with his general existence. boy have things changed

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Maybe its just me, but its funny how people are mocking British fans of Doctor Who with acting like we in the wrong for being pro-not-staying-up-till-2AM-to-watch-Doctor-Who and for thinking a show we fund basically via taxes and shit now going on IPlayer at Midnight while America has the reasonable drop time for the two episodes, when if you suggest to these people that BBC/Disney should do a time where its still early evening/night for the UK and afternoon for America, suddenly they can't just watch shows during the afternoon.

[problemswithbooks]

I think it’s funny that people are calling Shoji and the Heroes stupid because they put Kurogiri in the hospital. Was it dumb? Yes. It was a stupid choice, a choice we have no idea why they made. 

But the 15,00 random heteromorphs attacking the hospital are just as stupid.

Here’s the thing, Hori did not explain why so many people got behind Spinner. This isn’t like with Stain who had his speech recorded and put online. Spinner just exists and I assume there was some news footage of him escaping with the LoV at the end of the first war arc. 

Spinner has never made any public speeches about how he wants to help heteromorph people, nor have his actions ever hinted that that was part of his cause. His only claim to fame is that he is a part of the LoV/ PLF. The LoV certainly have never made their stance on heteromorph discrimination clear, and all there actions have only made things worse for literally everyone. The PLF/MLA want some sort of Quirk freedom, but it’s entirely based around better Quirk=better person philosophy. 

There’s also the whole AfO thing. He is literally pure evil and that’s not really a secret. Before his public fight with All Might and getting put in prison his existence was kept on the down low, but what reputation he had was as a shady guy who ran everything from the shadows. Once he was arrested I’m sure a lot more came out about his past crimes (plus he leveled a city block and the Nomu are publicly his doing so whatever they do is linked back to him). 

So, you’re telling me these 15,000 people just looked at a heteromorph, who is only known for working with AfO, the evilest villain of all time, and picked him to be their mascot for anti-mutant discrimination? These people watched and know about how the LoV/PLF leveled multiple city blocks killing and wounding thousands, upending everyone’s lives, without any show of fixing it and decide to join him? Why? He hasn't even shown that he cares about discrimination anyway--hell right now he can barely talk!

These people are obviously some of the dumbest people around, or they just legitimately want to kill everyone and this is their excuse. AfO has never been shown to be a supporter of heteromorphs--but even if he was, that’s not who they’re following. These people are only storming this hospital because they hard core Stan Spinner for no discernable reason, except he looks like them.  They don't care about Kurogiri--I don't even know if they understand why Spinner wants them to attack this place. 

Are the Heroes dumb and even reckless for keeping Kurogiri in a hospital with innocent people there? Yes, they are.

But these 15,000 people are also, not just stupid but apparently just violent assholes. They looked at a guy helping to mass murder random people for seemingly little reason and they just decided to hard core Stan him, and do whatever he said even if it means killing a lot of people. Spinner hasn't even told them if this will help their cause, mainly because he is now a giant and can barely talk anymore. But I guess their mascot can just foam at the mouth and yell and that’s a good enough reason for them to shank sick people to get back a guy they don't even know. 

No wonder Shoji is mad at them--they are absolutely idiotic and bloodthirsty.

anyway if mandalorians do indeed train to combat and counter their own methods and gear there is no way din should've been taken out the way he was (unless we assume din just kinda sucks at being a mandalorian)

(if they don't then this post is moot)

like. okay so

we know that a common technique/tactic used by mandalorians is to grapple their opponents and fly them up into the air or pull them off their feet

therefore, we know mandalorians can support the weight of a full person (in armour) with just their arm and grapple, and that their jetpacks can lift both them and another person in armour

so assuming that they do train to combat their own stuff, and that din isn't bad at mandalorianing

the moment din's arm got grappled by the IKO mandos (checking wookiepedia apparently they're imperial armoured commandos) he should've immediately either ramped his jetpack and flown up into the air and taken the IAC with him, or leapt at the IAC who'd grappled him while ramping his jetpack and tackled them

basically, if mandos train to combat their own tactics their response to being grappled should be

if grappled around a limb or torso, ramp your jetpack either into the air, at the grappler, or away from them

if the enemy doesn't have their jetpack going, you'll pull them off their feet (or if charging at them, you'll bowl them over) because your jetpack thrust will be greater than their inertia and the force of gravity so you'll win that struggle everytime (unless they're a big alien type or maybe wearing heavy armour

if they're holding onto something to try and fight being pulled they'll probably just end up losing their grip or breaking their hand since I'm pretty sure their grip strength won't be nearly as strong as the force required to lift approximately 180kg or so into the air

if you get grappled around the neck, move towards the grappler while winding your arm around the cable and grab it to lock the tension around your arm instead of your neck, then ramp your jetpack (again either upwards, away from the grappler, or towards the grappler for the same reasons as the previous)

if grappled around each wrist by two enemies (like din was at the end of s3e7), such that your right arm is being pulled to your right and your left is being pulled to the left, just fire your jetpack towards one of the grapplers (again, we know that you'll win that fight because if they're not firing their jetpacks you're guaranteed to just pull them with you), crash into the one you're flying towards while firing your hand or vambrace weapon at them, which will either incapacitate them or stun them, and also allow you to free or reduce the lock/tension on your arm enough to allow you to use that arm to fire your hand or vambrace weapon at the other enemy (who you were pulling with you) (if the one you crashed into wasn't already taken out then probably take them out first)

if grappled around each wrist by two enemies who cross over and force your arms across each other (the second step of what happened to din at the end of s3e7), you can either do what was stated above, or, preferably, step back into a lunge/partial lunge while raising your arms up and in front of you, then roll over (along your height not your width, like you do when sleeping) while flaring your elbow to fit your head through the gap, then execute the previously mentioned technique

and that, my mandalorian friends, is how you don't get captured by knockoffs of yourselves
